“No, he won’t. I’ve arranged for him to do an internship.”
“Huh?”
Sasha was dumbfounded, finding it strange to have Kurt undergo an internship when he had only started attending classes not long ago.
Nevertheless, she could not voice any objections to Sebastian’s arrangement since he always had his reasons for every decision he made.
Little did she know that even Karl could not seem to understand the logic behind Sebastian’s decision.
“Why did you send Kurt away, Mr. Hayes? If that mother and son duo are related to Elysium, then wouldn’t it be safer to keep Kurt near Ms. Vivian so that he can protect her?” he asked as he prepared to head out.
“Kurt doesn’t know that both of his brothers died serving the Hayeses,” Sebastian replied coldly.
His gaze had darkened, and his tone carried a touch of sorrow.
In his lifetime, the death of the brothers’ struck the greatest remorse in his heart.
Just as many had died for his sake, many had also died at his hand. The more notable examples were his mother, Frieda, and his best friend, Shawn.
However, their deaths were mainly due to the nature of their relationship with him. Frieda died for him because she was his mother, and Shawn died for him because they were best friends.
Had their positions been reversed, Sebastian would have sacrificed his life to save theirs, too, if they were in danger.
The two brothers were a whole different story, though.
As employees of SteelFort, they had dedicated their lives to serving the Hayes family. In other words, their relationship with Sebastian was that of a superior and subordinate, so he had only taken from them without giving anything in return.
As such, he did not deserve to have them sacrifice their lives for him like that, especially since he would not have done the same for them back then.
Sebastian gently stroked the other eagle-shaped cufflink as he continued, “Kurt has nothing to do with this operation, and I intend to keep it that way. Since he doesn’t know about the existence of his two brothers, it would be best if he never finds out.”
“Got it, Mr. Hayes!”
Having finally understood the situation, Karl took the eagle cufflink over and left in a hurry.
He’s right. This tragic incident is all in the past now, so nothing we do will change what happened in any way. Since Kurt doesn’t know about the existence of his brothers, he is spared from the pain of losing them. It’s probably best for things to remain like that.
