Worthless pride?
Is this a disease? It looks like it runs in the family.
Finally, the three children decided to tell Great-grandpa to come over during Grandpa’s birthday.
Because both Daddy and Mommy would be busy celebrating Grandpa’s birthday, and they could take the opportunity to sneak out and see him.
The little children were proud of their clever idea.
However, little did they know, just when they decided, Sebastian, who was driving the car, had already called Mark from Jadeborough.
“Hello? Mr. Sebastian?”
Mark was flattered to receive the sudden phone call from Sebastian.
“Tell the old man not to come over here these days,” Sebastian said expressionlessly.
Huh?
Mark was taken aback for a brief moment. “Why? Mr. Jadeson misses the children. He even said that he will be visiting them in a few days.”
He didn’t hide it from him.
But Sebastian denied without hesitation.
“The matters of the smelting plant is not something simple. The rare-earth metal is a highly profitable industry by itself. Some of them could even be directly used in the military. If someone uses the Jadesons name to start a smelting plant, there will be no way for the Jadesons to get away if anything happens.”
Droplets of sweat started to drip from his forehead.
Mark didn’t dare to say a word.
“So… what do you plan to do, Mr. Sebastian?”
“Not much. I will get back what is mine one step at a time. If he comes, everyone will know what I’m doing. Does he think he’s living a peaceful life for too long?
His last words were utterly unbearable.
Mark was shocked and horrified after hearing him. However, he found that those words couldn’t be more appropriate.
Sebastian would always be Sebastian. His wit and vision were beyond compare.
For many years, the Jadesons had never paid any attention to the smelting plant. They only treated it as a tool to make money at best, as long as it could make them money.
Especially for Stephen. He would sometimes resent the smelting plant because it could only excel in the coal mining business, whereas the glassworks factory had superior sales potential.
But now Sebastian told him that the smelting plant was the real cash cow.
He also said that the smelting plant was linked to the military. If that was really the case, if someone were to smuggle the rare-earth metals in the name of the Jadesons to the military…
Mark didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.
