Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1481

Chapter 1481 He Likes Sabrina

Therefore, Edmund had been working at the auditing bureau these two years as per the arrangement the Jadesons had made for him. Never once did he ever lay a finger on the assets that belonged to the Coopers.

As a result, his reputation as an heir who had suffered a downfall preceded him.

Sebastian poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.

“The timing isn’t an issue. It’s all about an effective whitewashing.”

“Whitewashing?” Edmund repeated. “How should I go about doing it?”

“The best way to turn it around is to prove that the money was legally earned. There’s a cadre from the Air Force, whose family does some small business. I heard that his daughter has taken a liking for you. You might want to consider that,” Sebastian hinted indifferently.

Hearing that, Edmund fell silent. His face went blank.

Consider? What does he mean? Does he want me to marry Ms. Zander?

His chest heaved rapidly while a downcast expression appeared on his face.

“So, you want me to go against my will and marry her?”

“I didn’t. The decision is yours to make. I only asked you to consider. In fact, you’ve made your choice, haven’t you? Apart from sending Riley to Yorksland, you also came looking for me. Didn’t you do all these to make inroads for her to take over your former business?”

Sebastian looked up and narrowed his gaze, exuding a slightly hostile aura. He was displeased that his good intentions were misinterpreted.

Edmund said nothing. His face was all red.

After a while, he lowered his head and apologized in a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry, I was too emotional. I… I just couldn’t accept it.”

The reality was too harsh for him to face. At that point, the notorious man who possessed a cynical attitude to life was totally despondent.

He had no choice but to accept the hard facts. His eyes were void of even the slightest hint of hope.

Sebastian pursed his lips, feeling quite sorry for him.

“You can just let them be. Riley is a good person, but ditch the rest of them. There’s no need for you to carry the Coopers on your shoulders. They’re not related to you. You are free to get your assets back, return to Yorksland, and start anew there. I can guarantee that no one will ever come after you.”

At the end of his statement, Sebastian gave him a promise.

Edmund looked down and remained silent.

When Sasha came over to serve them a new set of tea, he stood up from his seat.

“Are you leaving?”

“Yup, thank you for your time.”
