Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1910

Despite spending his entire life on the bloody battlefield and never batting an eyelid at all the gruesome scenes he had witnessed, Jonathan suddenly wavered at his former subordinate’s attempt at eliciting pity.

“A-About that-”

“Old Mr. Lightburn, from my perspective, you’re overestimating the gravity of the situation. Grandpa would definitely not do anything of that sort to someone younger. Thus, I think it’s wise to help your granddaughter back to her feet.”

Sasha had stepped forward to preempt Jonathan’s answer, standing defiantly in the center of the living room, she calmly deflected the pressure Lucius was exerting.

Just when Lucius was getting carried away with his reprimand, he looked up upon hearing Sasha’s words.

In that instant, he felt his heart sink.

Isn’t that Old Mr. Jadeson’s granddaughter-in-law? And the lady of the Jadeson household? She’s a clever one. If not for her, Sigrun’s actions in school would never have been exposed.

A sense of dread began to creep into him.

“Old Mr. Jadeson, is this your granddaughter-in-law?”

“Yes, yes. That’s her.”

Jonathan, who was mired in a dilemma, nodded vehemently as if he was clutching at straws.

No sooner had he replied than Lucius dragged Sigrun up and flung her at Sasha’s feet.

“Look, this is your future mother-in-law, you fool. Of all the things to do, why did you have to harm someone? If she hadn’t gone over, you-”

“Wait!”

Sasha stopped him, as she couldn’t bear to listen to another word.

“Old Mr. Lightburn, let me put it this way. Firstly, since the children are yet to be married, it’s inappropriate to address me that way. Secondly, we are planning to annul the marriage contract. I’m sorry if I didn’t manage to let you know in time,” Sasha asserted without hesitation.

In that instant, her words drained the blood out of Sigrun and Lucius’ faces.

“Cancel? On what basis? Have I heard it wrongly? Old Mr. Jadeson, you were the one who came to me and propose the marriage contract back then. I never had the

intention of ingratiating myself with the Jadeson family at all.”

Lucius, who was suddenly worked up, threw the ball back into Jonathan’s court. In fact, he sounded as if he was demanding answers from the latter.

Stumped by the question, Jonathan blushed in embarrassment.

D*mn it, he has the audacity to bring up the issue of how she is going to live her life going forth.

Chief of Staff? No wonder he’s so shrewd.
