Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 261

Sebastian was actually really surprised that he would catch Sasha with the bait he laid out for Kelly.

He had thought that Kelly and Xandra were plotting something big behind the scenes to go against the Hayes Corporation. But instead, his trap only netted him a dummy.

“Mr. Hayes, Kelly Green spilled everything. The books and the letters from Xandra were all from an anonymous sender. These are the documents from back then. Please take a look.”

Luke saw that Sebastian finally had some time, so he quickly handed the USB drive he got from questioning Kelly, along with some books.

Sebastian took a glimpse and picked one up.

“The Tattoo?”

“Yes. You actually helped contact some publishers for Xandra to publish this book. Sadly, it’s not her original work.”

Luke recalled what happened that year and could not help himself from feeling disgusted.

He could not imagine what was going on in Xandra’s mind when she did all that. It was clearly someone else’s work, but she acted like it was hers. There was not a hint of guilt in her.

She enjoyed all the benefits that came with the publication of that book like she deserved it. She even prided herself for it.

Sebastian’s face turned cold as he took the book and flipped through it, finding his shadow in it with ease.

That was the first time Moon saw Ricky. The ten-year-old was running around in the yard with his teacher chasing after him. He was unwilling to do his schoolwork and covered in sweat. That said, he had exquisite features and a rebellious smile as beautiful as the morning sun.

That was a paragraph from the book that described the main male character.

And Sebastian remembered it like it was yesterday. It was the same scenario where he first met Sasha.

Back then, she said he was handsome. But he only thought of her as a dumb girl that annoyed everyone.

Sebastian continued reading. Sasha was young, but she had talent. Her words painted a clear picture of the story she wanted to tell, but there was a sense of sorrow between every line.

Especially when the female main character found out about the boy’s secret.

Moon got home, and her mother asked about how she did in the test. Moon did not reply. She did not want to dampen her parents’ expectations. Her test results indicated she was well suited for studying finance, but she did not want to walk that path. Moon wanted to become a doctor, especially one that specialized in psychology.

Sebastian suddenly stopped reading.

He felt uncomfortable. It was like something was clogging up inside his chest.

“Mr. Hayes, are you okay?”

“I’m okay. Are there anything else?” Sebastian tried to hide it and took a sip of his coffee.
