Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1040

Meanwhile, in a quieter hallway of the hospital building, Sebastian shot a ferocious look at Devin.

“What’s the matter with you? You’ve turned into a completely different person after leaving Jadeborough. Did your parents’ death somehow mess with your brain? Or did you do it on purpose to get back at me?”

Infuriated, Sebastian reprimanded his cousin.

Devin boiled with fury after listening to him.

“What the hell are you saying?”

“Am I wrong? For goodness’ sake, Devin, you’re a commander. You’re always dealing with the most malicious criminals and have never even lost once. Why were you unable to spot the woman’s schemes? Why, Devin?”

Sebastian reached out and poked Devin’s chest.

As Devin looked at the finger that was pointing right at his chest, a hint of panic flashed across his eyes.

No, it’s not that I am oblivious to the woman’s evil deeds!

I’ve known it all along. Otherwise, why would I order Henrick to investigate Shanae?

Moreover, if I was truly oblivious, I wouldn’t have sided with Sabrina when Kira’s leg was chopped off.

So, why did Devin choose not to expose the woman?

“I’m just going to say it then. You have never intended to expose her. You’re just using that b*tch to infuriate my sister so that she will stay as far away from you as possible. You’re only able to live with yourself by telling yourself that you’re not rejecting her because she’s a Hayes! Instead, you’re trying to convince yourself that you’re staying away from her because she’s an unreasonable and demanding woman!”

“You…”

“Don’t for a second think that I don’t know you’re only doing all these just because she’s a Hayes! You’ve never gotten over that fact. Devin, do you know who you look like right now? Your hypocrisy and brazenness are exactly like that of your mother.”

Slap!

In the end, the man who was shaking with fury slapped Sebastian across the face.

Sebastian’s face twisted to one side from the sheer momentum, and the hallway fell into pin-drop silence.

Oh, is he getting mad now? Because I’ve just exposed the truth about his hypocrisy?

Sebastian licked the corner of his lips, which was seeping with blood. Sniggering, he turned around to leave.

Devin was rendered speechless.

There was a moment when he truly felt like reaching out and grabbing at Sebastian.

However, he could not summon any strength as his hands shook uncontrollably. In the end, he stood grounded as he watched Sebastian leave.

Devin had never felt this miserable before.
