The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian) -
Chapter 1193
Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1193 Root Them All Out
It was still dark when they returned to Jadeborough. Nonetheless, Devin departed immediately forOceanic Estate.
“Mr. Cooper? Is something wrong?” the housemaid who opened the door asked.
"Where's Sebastian? Is he asleep?” he asked, not wanting to waste his breath talking to thehousemaid.
To his surprise, she shook her head. “Not yet. He's in the study. Are you here to see him?”
Instead of replying, he brushed past the housemaid and walked in.
He walked through the hall to the small building on the side. At first glance, he saw the room on thefirst floor. There was a soft, orange glow inside it.
Although the light was not bright, it seemed warm and welcoming in the pre-dawn hours.
He strode over to the room.
The door creaked as he opened it, and a wave of warmth enveloped him. Tears stung his eyes.
It's my first time back here after everything that has happened.
The people in the study froze in shock, especially the old, white-haired man by the fireplace. Heraised his head, and his drowsy eyes widened when he was who it was.
“Devin?”
He got up abruptly, put down the cup of coffee in his hand with a clatter, and rushed up to thedoorway.
Devin could not hold it in any longer. Hot tears rolled down his cheeks as he stood in front of theold man. “Grandpa, I'm back.”
“You're back! My eldest grandson... is finally home!” Jonathan choked out, overwhelmed withemotions. At that moment, the man who had never shed a single tear at the battlefield embracedhis long-lost grandson with tear-filled eyes.
After everything he had gone through, he finally understood that there was nothing more importantthan being surrounded by family.
Meanwhile, Sebastian stood at one side, watching quietly.
After making sure that the two men had calmed down, he pushed a fresh cup of coffee towardDevin.
"Have you settled everything in Adonia?”
"Yes. Janice is dead.” Devin lifted the cup to his lips and took a sip. The mere mention of that namebrought a lump in his throat.
Sebastian looked slightly astonished. “Dead? How did she die?”
“She was severely injured while fighting with them, but I had no idea about it. When she got on thespeedboat, she realized there was no way she'd escape. Hence, she blew up the speedboat,” Devinanswered grimly.
Indeed, Janice had committed suicide.
Because it was dark when Devin and Janice left the villa, he could not see that clearly. As she hadalso hidden it very well, he did not have the faintest clue that she was seriously wounded.
There was no other way out for her in such a state.
Rather than dying in the hands of others, she decided to take things into her own hands.
With a gloomy look in his eyes, Devin took out two objects and placed them on the desk.Sebastian looked puzzled. “This is..."
“She gave this to me before her death. One of them contains the names of everyone The CoffeeShop has dealt with while the other shows the hideouts of the firearms smugglers and the militaryfactory's distribution point,” Devin explained.
As expected, Sebastian's usually calm, dark eyes lit up when he heard that. He then grabbed the twoobjects and stared at them in disbelief.
This is incredible!
Jonathan was dumbfounded. “She gave something so important to you? Did you already revealyour identity to her?”
Despite shaking his head, Devin knew deep down in his heart that her last smile was the same ashow she used to smile at him.
There was a hint of gentleness in her smile as well as a sense of familiarity.
Once again, Devin felt a pang of heartache.
That night, Sebastian did not do anything with the USB drive and the map. Rather, he waited untilthe next morning and had someone deliver them to Silas at the White House.
Jonathan stomped his foot in anger when he found out about it.
"Why did you give them to him? It wasn't easy to get our hands on them! What if he destroysthem?" He fumed.
A sneer hovered on Sebastian's lips, and he replied curtly, “He won't.”
What happened after that proved that Sebastian made the right decision. Another crackdownbegan two days later. Since the order came from the highest-ranking official in the White House, itwas carried out on a much larger scale.
Many different departments were involved, from the anti-corruption department to the armedforces.
The sight of so many people coming together was reminiscent of how they once united to set up anew regime. They rooted out all the scums who had broken the law for years before they couldeven react!
Jonathan was dumbstruck.
He still could not figure out how Silas had become a weapon in their hands.
Meanwhile, after watching everything unfold, Sasha picked up a basket one sunny afternoon andwent into the garden to look for the man picking flowers with his daughter.
