Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1251

Chapter 1251 The Truth

Sebastian stopped himself from imagining the worst.

He did not realize this, but his tone had taken on a softer note when he asked his father that last question.

Shin took a sip of his tea and thought hard about how best to answer Sebastian’s question.

“Eddie was a very clever person. For many years, he has single-handedly built up his massive underworld power. He trusted no one but himself.”

Seeing Sebastian was keeping silent, Shin continued, “At one point, I started to suspect that Louis wasn’t as extraordinary as everyone thought he was. His younger brother, Eddie, was the key. What really got me thinking was that Eddie didn’t plan for any big movement in the beginning.”

Sebastian was dumbstruck for a moment.

“That’s the one. In every history book, Louis was the brain and hero behind this critical battle, bringing victory to us all. But when you met Eddie, what did he say to you about this battle?”

“Eddie?” Sebastian was slightly startled at the unexpected question directed at him. But he soon recalled the conversation he had with Eddie when the latter hacked into his security monitor last night.

“That’s right. He said that even though Louis had led the military advancement, he was the one who had done most of the work. Eddie also mentioned Judith and said she knew everything. But now…”
