The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 838

“All right. I have already spoken to the boss. They will be serving you their signature dessert. Itshould arrive soon.”

When she saw that all of them were still seated there, she was very pleased and informed them ofher arrangement.

Sasha smiled. “Thank you, Ms. Woods. Could you keep an eye on my daughter, please? I need to goto the washroom.”

“Sure. Go on then.”

Things seemed to have gone on so smoothly that even Kira did not replace Vivian to be a pestanymore. With a wave of her hand, she agreed.

Thereafter, Sasha left the table.

A few minutes later, she went to the back kitchen of the dessert store and saw a pastry chefpreparing some desserts.

Sasha was no expert when it came to desserts.

However, as a TCM practitioner, she could tell the various ingredients derived from the plants.

At that moment, the chef was mixing some translucent powder. If her guess was right, it should bestarch of some kind.

It could be sweet potato flour, tapioca flour, or arrowroot flour.

After that, the chef added some coloring to the starchy flour.

According to her experience, she was pretty confident that he was using sea buckthorns.

She was impressed that he used such prime ingredient.

Sea buckthorn had many benefits. It alleviated the effects of starch, increased one’s immunity, andregulated the digestive system. It was no surprise that this particular dessert shop was patronized byseveral children.

The desserts were actually beneficial for the children’s health.

Sasha continued to observe.

Suddenly, she noticed the pastry chef adding mashed lychees into the mixture.

Sasha was taken aback.

At that moment, her gaze turned frosty.

Meanwhile, Jonathan was still at the White House when he heard the news of the two childrensuffering from seizures after consuming some desserts.

With regard to the death of Hubert Conrad, the cabinet was still seeking Jonathan's help. They toldhim specifically that Hubert had been murdered, and that it was not sudden death. That includedthe two victims who were involved in the car accident as well.

The cabinet had hoped that he could carry out the investigation and replace out what was going on.Why have they asked for me?

When Jonathan came to know, he sneered, “Why do I have to carry out the investigation? I'm not apoliceman. Unless you are trying to imply that the Jadesons are involved in these cases?”

His candidness stunned the cabinet secretary for a moment when he heard that.

"Old Mr. Jadeson, you are mistaken. That's not what I meant. The only reason why I have asked foryour assistance in this matter is so that it doesn't leak out to the public. Once people replace out thatthe security of the White House has been compromised, it will inevitably create turmoil.”“Ridiculous!” Jonathan did not seem to be honored with the request.

“I've already retired. Even if I'm still working, I'm in charge of the army and not the police force. Ifyou really want an investigation, you should approach the Director of the Public SecurityDepartment and the national guards of the White House. They are the ones who should beinvestigating. Of course, if you wish to investigate the Jadesons, I can tell you right now that thingshave been chaotic at home and no one is here!”

After his outright rejection, Jonathan turned and left.

The cabinet was furious!

“What kind of attitude was that? All I wanted was for him to check on the deaths of the threevictims. Is that the way to respond to me?”

“Don’t be angry. Calm down.”

Another of the cabinet officials said, “You know his temper well enough. He held such a highposition once and has never given a damn to anybody before.”

"Furthermore, you have asked him to investigate Hubert's death. The two of them don't see eye toeye. By doing that, aren't you insinuating that he is involved in Hubert's death?”

oo

The Cabinet Chairman was guilt-stricken and could not continue.

Another official saw that and added, “Does he really have anything to do with those three deaths?”“I don't see how he is connected. Haven't you heard? Two days ago, his eldest grandson, Devin hadsome issues with his newly-found grandson. Everyone in the barracks knew about it!”

“Really?”

The entire cabinet was in shock.

That official continued, “Yes. Many people are speculating and think that they are vying for power.Have you guys forgotten? Old Mr. Jadeson has also recently brought back a set of twins. They arethe offsprings of the youngest grandson!”

Nobody uttered a word.

Everyone was enthralled by the gossip they had just heard, and they looked on with excitement andanticipation.

The cases of the three deaths were long out of their minds.

There was going to be a power struggle within the Jadesons.

The thought of it delighted them.

In the meantime, Jonathan was rushing back to Oceanic Estate.
