Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1285

Splash!

Sebastian was jolted awake when a bucket of cold water was poured down on him. He opened hiseyes only to replace himself in an unfamiliar environment and saw an old man grinning hideously athim.

"Oh, Mr. Jadeson, I see that you're finally up.”

Seeing that Sebastian had opened his eyes, Eddie returned to his seat and lit a cigarette. Then, hegazed at his captive through the billowing clouds of cigarette smoke.

Sebastian struggled to move but to no avail. He was handcuffed to the bed.

"Eddie, what are you trying to do? Did you instruct your man to hit my car just so you could abductme?”

"Precisely that,” Eddie admitted openly.

“It turns out that your sickness hasn't affected the function of your brain. Hmm... Not bad. This goesto show that I made the right decision.” An ugly smug settled upon his face.

Sebastian attempted to break free again. This time, he felt an agonizing pain at a few spots on hisbody, especially his head.

The pain was so excruciating that he was drenched in a cold sweat.

“Don’t move as your injuries are quite bad. Anyway, you can rest assured that I haven't doneanything to you. These wounds were from the car accident.”

After a while, Sebastian stopped struggling and settled down on the bed.

He asked, “Where is this place? What game do you plan to play for bringing me here?”

"How clever!” Eddie stood up while praising him generously.

“I do have something grand planned just for you, but I should answer your first question. Youwanted to know where you are, right? Sure, let me tell you. This is actually the Sheerwoodresidence.”

“Sheerwood residence?” Sebastian was in disbelief.

"How is that possible? Sheerwood residence has been bombed by you to ashes when Isaac died.How could this be? Did you build something underground?”

"Yes, that's right. Your logic is brilliant!” Eddied was delighted to hear his speculation

He walked toward the coffee table and turned on the television mounted on the wall

"See? The surveillance camera is showing you the aerial view of Adonia, including the residentialarea where the Sheerwood residence is located. Sebastian, you're indeed a smart alec. However, youalways make the same mistake. You tend to overthink things and complicate each matter. Many atime, it's best to think simple. It's easier to fool others this way, do you understand me?” Eddie gavehim a brief lecture while pointing at the screen.

It was true that Eddie had the upper hand in this matter.

No one, including Sebastian, had ever expected this move ever since the Sheerwood residence wasdemolished.

Little did they know that the bombing of Isaac was merely a disguise. The more gory his death was,the least suspicion people would have about it.

Fury clouded Sebastian's pale face. His whole being was emanating frustration at the thought ofbeing fooled by Eddie.

Seeing his reaction, Eddie guffawed and consoled him, “You don't need to feel so devastated. Letme tell you something, neither Judith nor your father was my match. The fact that you couldwithstand several blows from me is already by itself an achievement.”

Sebastian panted heavily for a while before asking, “What are you scheming? Are you trying to takeme down once and for all?"

“Hahaha...” the old man cackled.

“That's right, I want to fight you to death. Then again, Sebastian, you're already in my hands.Therefore, you should replace a replacement. Bring forth your cousin, Devin, your grandfather,Jonathan, and the entire White House!" uttered Eddie.

Sebastian stared daggers at him with a pair of bloodshot eyes. “What are you going to do? You mayhave captured me, but the whole of Jadeborough has been weeded out stealthily. It's not an easytask for you to seize power.”

“Oh, is that so?” Eddie smiled.

“Have you forgotten that Jadeborough has been my dear nest for years, Sebastian? Do you reallythink that you could remove all of my men completely?”

Sebastian was rendered speechless.

“Let me tell you, right when you were caught, almost one third of Jadeborough has been populatedby my people. They were at the malls, train stations, bus stations...”

Before he could finish his sentence, the man who was handcuffed to the bed shouted furiously,“Bast*rd!"

Malls? Train and bus stations too? Is he even human? How could he harbor such an evil thought tosacrifice the lives of innocent civilians for his own selfish desire? He's using them as his steppingstones to climb up the social hierarchy and solidify his power!

Sebastian had never been this infuriated.
