Sebastian returned to Frontier Bay and saw lan sitting in the living room

He thought lan would be doing well in just half a month's time after his escapejudging from whatthe other children had secretly informed him.

However, lan now looked nothing like what he had expected.

"What happened to you? How did you end up like this? Did you get into a fight?" Sebastian askedbewilderedly.

He stood before lan and saw that not only were his clothes dirty, but there were also various bruiseson his face.

Sebastian grew furious. He had always thought lan was the most obedient of his three childrenbecause he had raised lan himself.

lan had always followed the rules and behaved wisely since he was little. He would never get into afight.

Therefore, Sebastian wondered what had happened to lan.

"Yesterday, your Aunt Susan sent me a message saying you are coming home. But you sent meanother message later saying that you won't be returning. What is going on?"

lan sat silently on the couch for a few minutes before turning to Sebastian and said, "Daddy, whydid you keep Eddie's descendants as a part of the Jadeson family? Aren't you worried that thepeople will criticize you if the matter is exposed?”

"What do you mean?" Sebastian narrowed his eyes.

Why is lan suddenly asking such a strange question? Did something happen to him? Did theremnants of Eddie's followers replace him and speak to him?

Sebastian was an intelligent man. He went through every possibility in his head within a fewseconds.

"Why should I be worried? Your Aunt Susan and her brother have nothing to do with Eddie otherthan being his blood relations. They were never involved in any matters related to him."

"Then... does that mean you won't take it to heart if someone threatens you with this matter?”Sebastian's words were like a cardiac stimulant, reviving lan's depressed heart.

Sebastian continued to observe lan.

He had raised lan, so he could see that something was wrong with him.

He did not answer lan's question but called Wendy, the housemaid, to prepare a bath for lan andget him to rest before calling Karl over.

"I want you to investigate what happened to lan in Yeringham yesterday.”

"Mr. Hayes, do you mean..." Karl instantly sensed that something was wrong upon hearingSebastian's instruction.

"He's been asking me about Susan and Eddie's relationship since he came back. I want you toinvestigate what Susan is hiding. When I was at the university, I found it strange that a girl like hercould keep escaping from being in danger from Eddie's men."

Sebastian's expression turned solemn, and his tone suddenly grew cold as he spoke.

Karl understood what Sebastian meant and immediately began an investigation.

By evening that day, Sebastian received a message from Karl when he was having dinner with lan inthe dining room

Kart: Mr. Hayes, I have finished investigating. Someone saw Mr. lan and Susan arguing at a marketin Xendale. Mr. lan was angry, and Susan kept crying. He walked away after that.

Sebastian: Where did he go?

Karl: He didn't go far but went to a bus station and wrecked it. The police arrested him and broughthim to the police station.

Karl had to gather his courage to break this shocking news to Sebastian

He found it hard to believe that lan had been arrested and brought to the police station. As far ashe could remember, lan was the most obedient of Sebastian's three children. Yet, lan managed toget himself into serious trouble.

It was more severe than what Matteo had done.

Sebastian did not reply to Karl's message but glanced at lan, who was sitting opposite him.

lan noticed Sebastian's gaze and did not know what to say.

He felt the surrounding air suddenly turn chilly and began to eat slowly.

Thankfully, the oppressing aura from Sebastian did not persist. Soon, Sebastian's phone vibratedagain. His expression calmed down tremendously as he saw the message.

Karl: I have found out what happened. It was a person called Kilian Glen who called Susan. I don'tknow what they talked about, but I discovered that he's Susan's neighbor.

Sebastian: Her neighbor?

Karl: Yes. I have also finished investigating your suspicion about what happened to Susan at theuniversity. She had spoken to Kilian on the phone a few times then.

It was no wonder that Karl was the leader of SteelFort. He could replace all this information within ashort time.

Sebastian suddenly had on a cold look again.

He could be tolerant and magnanimous to others.

However, he could not tolerate anyone who messed around right under his nose. He had told Susanthat she was free to choose her path, but he would not hesitate to retaliate if she chose the wrongpath.

"Daddy, I... I have something to tell you," lan piped up.

Sebastian looked at him in astonishment. "What's the matter?"

"I... fought with Susan yesterday. She suddenly received a call and chased me away. It was aroundthe time she sent you the message."q
