Jonathan and Tony were rendered speechless by the seemingly harsh answer. Similarly, Jasmine brought herself to a halt when she heard Sebastian’s answer.
Does he have a death wish or something? No one has ever talked to Dad in such an arrogant manner!
Jonathan resisted the urge to reprimand Sebastian. He surveyed the surroundings and found out Sasha wasn’t around. Thus, he asked, “Where’s the doctor assigned to take care of you? Why is she nowhere to be seen today?”
Things got increasingly worse as soon as he brought up the presence of Sasha. Sebastian’s face scrunched up in irritation within split seconds.
Tony glared at the housemaid, instructing him to answer Jonathan’s query on Sebastian’s behalf.
As much as the housemaid was afraid of offending Sebastian, she stammered, “D-Dr. West isn’t here because Mr. Sebastian has warned her to stay away from the mansion in the future.”
The ones at the dining table, including Jonathan, gaped at the truth and looked in Sebastian’s direction.
“What’s going on? Why have you warned her to stay away from you again? Isn’t she Grayson’s apprentice? Have you terminated her because of her inferior skills or something?” Jonathan asked rhetorically when he recalled his conversation with Grayson.
Jonathan had made himself clear he would get someone else over to take care of him if Sasha couldn’t live up to expectation.
On the other hand, Jasmine was thrilled when she heard the duo’s conversation.
Great! I have been waiting for the opportunity to send Kira to take care of him, but I can’t think of anything to justify it!
He has just done me a huge favor! If that’s the case, I’ll introduce Kira to take care of him soon!
“I’m pretty sure they have been hearing things again,” Sebastian assured the rest that wasn’t the case and that wouldn’t be necessary.
Jasmine could barely catch her breath and almost passed out when she heard Sebastian dismissing Jonathan’s suggestion.
On the contrary, Jonathan let out a sigh of relief when he found out everything was fine. He continued savoring the dishes in front of him.
Out of the blue, he announced Sebastian’s upcoming assignment, “If that’s the case, whenever she returns, tell her to hurry up and do something about your condition as soon as possible. Stephen has quite a lot of things on his plate. Once you’re feeling well, I want you to join him and help him out.”
Sebastian glanced at Jonathan as if he couldn’t be bothered at all.
Meanwhile, Jasmine’s eyes widened in disbelief when she heard Jonathan’s announcement.
Why is he sending Sebastian to help Stephen? Currently, we’re the only ones in charge of the corporate and investment subsidiaries of the Jadesons! Is he trying to do Sebastian a favor and allow him to assert influence over the family?
