Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 834

Later on, when Devin joined the army, his physical prowess became even more pronounced.

Within a mere few years, he had been promoted from a low-rank soldier to his current position. There were many envious eyes following his rise through the ranks.

However, he knew his Grandpa had always preferred ‘scholars’.

Scholars had brains and intellect, and that was what his Grandpa respected.

For example, his Uncle Shin.

Another example is Uncle Shin’s son, Sebastian.

Devin stood in front of the mirror for a long while, glaring at the image reflected back at him. The mist from the hot water had already risen all around him before he pulled himself away and walked into the shower.

Rather than trying to change himself to live up to his Grandpa’s expectations, perhaps it was better to just let Sebastian garner that favor.

Sebastian, too, had heard about the plan to send his two sons to Opal Garden Academy.

Instead of feeling happy and proud of his sons’ achievements, he had slammed his pen onto the table and yelled, “No!”

“Why?” Tony asked. It was him who had relayed the news to Sebastian. His eyes widened in shock when he heard Sebastian protest so strongly.

“Mr. Sebastian, Opal Garden Academy is the best school in the city. Only the most deserving students are able to get in. No amount of influence, money, or power will get you a place there.”

Tony assumed that Sebastian was unaware of the school’s good reputation and hurriedly sung praises of the school’s merits and the privilege of being enrolled there.

However, Sebastian had coldly retorted, “I’ve already said that they’re not going to that school. That’s the end of it.”

“But…”

“Get out!”

Tony’s face paled at those two words. He ceased speaking immediately.

After a few awkward minutes, he quietly retreated from the room.

Sasha, who was in the room the entire time and who had overheard the conversation, could not help asking curiously, “Mr. Hayes, I know of Opal Garden Academy. It’s a great school! Why don’t you want your two boys to attend that school?”

Lately, Sasha had become bolder and even dared to ask him such a question.

Sebastian cast a glance at her.

His face still wore an annoyed expression. “If it’s such a good school, then why didn’t the Jadesons ever send their heir there?”

“Huh?” Sasha was surprised by his answer.

It was such a strange and sudden thing to say. She did not understand where he was coming from.

Heir of the Jadesons? Does he mean Devin? Devin didn’t graduate from Opal Garden Academy? That’s weird! Sasha found that hard to believe.

However, Devin’s status as the Jadesons’ heir had only been confirmed by Jonathan when he was twenty-five years old. There was more to Devin than people knew.
