Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1204

Chapter 1204 Usurper

It was almost midnight when Sebastian arrived at the Zander residence. Nonetheless, he saw that the lights inside the villa were still on.

Sebastian sneered before getting out of the car.

Ding dong.

Karl, too, quickly joined him outside. He then went up to the exquisite gate to press the doorbell before Sebastian.

To their surprise, although the lights were still on, no one opened the door for them after quite some time. At that time, the wind kept blowing snow toward them. It was as though the weather ridiculed the proud heir of the Jadesons because he was given the cold shoulder.

When Karl got furious and wanted to press the doorbell again, Sebastian instructed coldly, “Let’s jump over the wall.”

Before the former could react, Sebastian had come up to the wall. Then, he grabbed a tree branch that stretched out from the courtyard and leaped into the villa without hesitation.

Well, Mr. Hayes sure is flexible.

After entering the villa without permission, Sebastian looked around for a moment and walked straight to the second floor.

“You—”

As expected, Silas was watching television on the second floor. His face turned ashen upon seeing the two intruders.

How insolent! Even at this juncture, they stubbornly refuse to swallow their pride!

“Are you here to beg me for mercy on your grandfather’s behalf?”

There was a thin layer of snow on Sebastian’s shoulders. With his hands in his pockets, he stood calmly under the light. Staring at Silas, he replied expressionlessly, “No, I’m not. Instead, I want to know who is the actual mastermind.”

At his question, Silas’ face turned grim.

“What do you mean by the actual mastermind? I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Oh, really? Well, let me rephrase my question. Who are you? Based on my investigation, you are merely a public servant who has slowly climbed up the political ladder. Yet, you have the habits of a soldier. Even when it comes to smoking, you do it on a fixed schedule—half-past nine in the morning, quarter past noon, and six o’clock in the evening. Would you mind telling me the reason?”

“You—”

Silas was livid again after being questioned by Sebastian. However, shock bubbled up inside him this time, and he stood up reflexively.

Eyes filled with anger and astonishment, he stared at the young man. Even his body was trembling slightly.
