Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1911

The raging anger within Lucius was instantly doused.

At the sight of Sebastian, the arrogance he displayed dissipated within seconds.

Report to both families? If it came to that, no one in Jadeborough would dare to marry Sigrun, let alone continue with the marriage contract. In fact, the Lightburn family’s reputation would be utterly ruined!

Lucius no longer had the cheek to continue dwelling on the matter.

When he saw the ashen look on his former subordinate’s face, Jonathan’s heart softened as he recalled that he was the one who was first at fault.

As a result, he got to his feet.

“All right now, Old Mr. Lightburn. Since I, too, bear responsibility for the matter, why don’t we just cancel the marriage contract on the basis of the children’s disagreement? In return, I’ll arrange for your grandson to join the army as my apology. Isn’t that what he always wanted?”

Lucius fell silent, as it was an attractive proposition indeed.

He was now provided with an opportunity to save face, while the Lightburn family was given the chance to achieve glory similar to that of Sigrun marrying into the Jadeson family.

Just as expected, Lucius was satisfied with the arrangement and prepared to leave with his granddaughter.

No sooner had he made a move than Sigrun-who had seen her dreams collapse before her-went amok.

“No! It’s not like that. I didn’t do it out of jealousy, as the problem lies with the two of them. Susan, despite being Ian’s aunt, is salivating all over him and sticks to his side like glue. It was she who behaved shamefully first. I did what I did just to protect myself!” Sigrun screamed as if she had gone raving mad.

Susan?

She had barely spoken when the minds of everyone present were blown. All of them stared at Sigrun in disbelief.

How is that possible? She is his aunt, while he’s her nephew!

A grave expression descended upon Jonathan’s face.

“What did you say? Let me warn you, I have forgiven you on the account of your grandfather. If you continue to spew venomous lies, I’ll not show you any more mercy!” he roared with his eyes spitting fire.

Lucius, too, was enraged.

Reaching out to grab her, he dragged her back and got her to shut up.

“You fool, have you not embarrassed yourself enough? How dare you make such baseless accusations?”

“I’m not. It’s the truth. In fact, Susan herself has admitted it to me. She told me the reason she acknowledged her family’s heritage and changed the way she greets all of you is to enable her to marry into the Jadeson family. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her about it!”

Sigrun continued to shriek. Vengeance had driven her into a rampage to drag everyone down with her.

As silence descended upon the room, Jonathan sat frozen as if his head had been hit by a sledgehammer, while his expression mirrored that of a raging inferno.

Slap!

Slap!
