Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1742

Chapter 1742 

At that crucial moment, a man stormed into The Ataraxy.

When he heard the foul language Jared was using, his big eyes bulged in anger.

Picking a stone from the ground, he threw it at Jared.

Thud! The stone hit Jared's foul mouth spot on! ‘Ouch!"

Jared screamed in pain.

"I should have ripped that foul mouth off your face years back! It was a mistake to keep you alive.Do you have a death wish now? If you do, I can oblige and make your wish come true!"

It was Jonathan who had rushed to Sigrith's rescue.

Not satisfied with the injuries he caused Jared, he started scolding him loudly.

Jared was lucky that Jonathan had mellowed with age.

If he still had the quick temper of his youthful days, he would have drawn his gun and used it on Jared.

Jared was bleeding profusely and in great pain.

Covering his bleeding mouth with his hands, he stopped his swearing and timidly stood there, quiet as a mouse.

Jonathan glared at him sternly until he lowered his eyes and cowered in fear.

Turning his attention to Sigrith and her kids, he said, "Forget the nonsense he sprouted.Get up and come with me to Oceanic Estate"

"Uncle Jonathan..."

Sigrith could not hold in her grief anymore and fell slumped on the ground, sobbing.

Timothy and Susan stood next to Sigrith, staring gratefully at Jonathan.

Their tears were flowing uncontrollably too.

Among the Jadesons, they had always respected Jonathan the most.He was the head of the family and although he had a fiery temper, he was fair and reasonable.

Jonathan brought Sigrith, Susan, and Timothy back to Oceanic Estate with him.

Sasha, Devin, and their families, together with the relatives from Gossamer Creek, were all waiting anxiously for them.

When they saw the pathetic state the three were in, they fumed and lashed out at Jared.

"Has that old man lost his mind? How could he hit you?"

Sabrina was the first to voice her anger and disgust.She would definitely side with Sigrith and her kids.

Together with a few other relatives from Gossamer Creek, Sigrith had worked closely with Sabrina at her shop.

Under Sigrith’s management, the business was flourishing, and Sabrina never had to worry about a thing as long as Sigrith was there.

Knowing they were like family, no one could fault Sabrina for being angry and disrespectful toward Jared.

Being kids, Susan and Timothy quickly set aside the bad experience they had a while ago and were soon basking in the festive mood.

Sasha breathed a sigh of relief and left the kids to continue with the new year preparations.She went back to the room and found Sebastian poring through a pile of documents the business department had sent him.She briefly updated him on what had happened.

"I have grossly misjudged Jared and never thought he could be so petty" she commented.

"I am not surprised at all.

If he were a gentleman, he would not have raised such terrible kids!"

Sebastian sneered.

Sasha let out a sigh, knowing he was referring to Charles, Connor, and Candice.She filled the kettle and put it to boil, then sat down opposite him and made him tea as they chatted about the incident.

"So what will happen to Sigrith and her two kids? What do you think we should do?" Sasha asked.

"I will go with any decision the old man makes."

With his eyes glued to the ledger in his hand, he nonchalantly answered Sasha.

Old man? Is he referring to Jonathan? Sasha was dazed momentarily by that reminder.

Indeed, Sigrith and her kids' fates were in Jonathan's hands.

Only he could decide if they get to stay in the family.
