What about this half-brother of mine? Is he a cold-blooded and selfish man? I don't think so. Atleast when I was kidnapped by his mother and was getting sold as a sex slave, he was the one whoopposed it. Even though Devin was the one who rescued me in the end, it shows that the former isnot a bad person.

Eventually, Sabrina did not accept the share transfer agreement, but she sent it back to the HayesCorporation. The following day, she headed over to Jadeborough.

The situation back in Jadeborough had seemed to resume to normal after three months, especiallythe Jadesons.

The Jadesons were separated into three bloodlines. The main bloodline was Jonathan's eldest son,Stephen, who was Devin's father.

As for the other two bloodlines, one of them was Jonathan's elder brother, while another onebelonged to his uncle.

His uncle's bloodline was rooted further away. Hence, it did not have much power aroundJadeborough.

However, it was a different story with his brother's bloodline. As Jonathan used to shower a lot ofcare and favor for this brother, naturally, he had given the latter a lot of power.

For example, his brother's son, Charles, and his brother's grandson, Eric, both possessed a highmilitary position.

However, Charles just got discharged personally by Jonathan recently.

Other than him, everyone from the brother's bloodline had gotten suspended from their positionsas well. The real reason was not announced to the public. The official statement merely said thatthey had committed some mistakes and had to receive confinement.

“Stephen, it's been three months already. When do you think will Charles be released?”

One day, as Devin and his family were having breakfast at home, his mother, Jasmine, suddenlyasked her husband, Stephen.

Stephen cast her a cold glance upon hearing that question.

"Why do you ask about this out of nowhere?”

“Nothing. Since both of them have done such a thing to Devin, why does Dad only lock them up fora few days? Back then, Devin had gotten accused of taking a life, which gave him a huge blow onhis spirit.”

Jasmine could not suppress her emotions as she felt the whole matter was somehow unfair.

Back then, Devin was the one that Jonathan sent to pick up Frieda. But when Devin was taking herback to Jadeborough, Eric's men mixed in and grabbed the chance to kill Frieda.

When Devin did not bring her back, he got confined as soon as he returned.

Yet, after the truth got revealed, all Charles got was merely confinement.

That seemed too light a punishment in Jasmine’s opinion.

Just then, Stephen let out a helpless sigh. “Since Eric is dead now, it's already the biggestpunishment for Charles. What else do you want?”

Jasmine was rendered speechless by that.

In the end, she had no choice but to keep quiet.

A moment later, Devin came down from upstairs. He had changed into a neat military uniform,getting ready to head to the base.

“Devin, hold on a second. Are you leaving already?” Jasmine could not bear her son leaving as sheimmediately rushed toward him.

Upon seeing that, Devin let out a wry smile.

“Mom, I got to go to work. It's not like that I'm leaving forever.”

“But...”

“All right, Mom. I need to go. Or I'll be late.” Devin turned abruptly to leave.

“Mr. Jadeson, there's a Ms. Hayes outside for you. Should I let her in?” All of a sudden, a housemaidcame in the door.

"Hayes? Who's that?”

Jasmine's expression turned dark the instant she heard that name, and she questioned before herson could utter a word.

But the housemaid kept quiet.

Devin was puzzled for a while but soon managed to guess who it was. At that moment, hisexpression turned awkward. “It's fine. I'm heading out anyway.”

Upon saying that, he left abruptly.

Jasmine was utterly displeased after being ignored by her son. “Stephen, who exactly is that? Andshe’s a Haye. Is she related to Frieda’s son? Why does she come here to replace him?”

She had run out of patience.

Not to mention, the existence of Frieda’s son gave her a strong sense of insecurity.

After all, he was Shin's son.

And she heard that he was unbeatable. Not to mention, his encounter with Charles and his son hadresulted in countless casualties on the latter's side.

The most terrifying fact was that Jonathan chose not to kill him. Instead, he brought the latter backand took care of him on Heron Hill while he was in a coma.

Jasmine had made up her mind by then that she would pay a visit to Heron Hill no matter what.Right at that moment, Sabrina finally met Devin.

“Devin... I didn't come here to replace you. Don’t worry. I want to see my brother. It's been a long time,and I wonder how he’s been.”

Meeting the man of her heart, Sabrina still felt a little nervous.

Plus, she felt somewhat awkward due to the previous fuss she created at the base. Hence, she didnot dare to look at him in the eyes.

Fortunately, Devin was not someone that held onto the past.

Upon knowing her purpose, Devin nodded slightly. “I understand. But Sebastian is at my grandpa’splace right now. If you want to see him, maybe I'll need to ask Grandpa and get his permission.”"All right. Ask him then.”

Sabrina’s eyes brightened with excitement upon hearing that.

However, little did she know her family name was utterly detested by the Jadesons, especiallyCharles’ bloodline.
