Was there an outcome?
The answer was no.
Sasha accompanied Sebastian to Oceanic Estate.
There was still no news from the Woodses two days later. Even since Sebastian’s warning at the Red Pavilion, the Woodses had been very wary of their actions.
It was also two days later that Jonathan finally found out about Devin’s resignation at the military base.
“That b*stard! Is he trying to turn against me now? Did I tell him to resign? Is he trying to get on my nerves? What good would it bring him if I died?”
Jonathan was livid as he smashed everything in his studies. Even the ground could not withstand his fury.
Mark’s face turned pale upon seeing that.
Although Jonathan was disappointed with Devin’s qualifications, he had never ill-treated the latter. In fact, the former had spent a lot of his time and effort on Devin.
Seeing how mad Jonathan was, Mark was afraid that something might happen to him. Hence, he quickly came over to comfort him.
“Don’t worry, Old Mr. Jadeson. We’ve stopped the letter from reaching the higher-ups. The people of the military base have found out and quickly warned us about it. What’s important now is to dismiss Mr. Devin’s thought of resigning,” Mark reminded Jonathan.
Jonathan stood in the middle of the mess he had created and leaned against the table to calm himself down. Still fuming, he ordered, “Go find that b*astard now!”
“Yes, Old Mr. Jadeson.” Mark let out a sigh of relief. Thereafter, he left Oceanic Estate to search for Devin.
At this moment, Sasha was trimming the flowers in the garden. Just when she was about to take the flowers upstairs to arrange them in a vase, she saw the commotion that happened in the study, and her expression changed.
Devin is resigning his position in the military?
Sasha panicked too upon hearing the news. After seeing Mark leave hurriedly, she quickly threw away the scissors in her hands. With the flowers left in her grip, she rushed up the stairs.
“Oh no, Darling! Devin is in trouble!”
Sasha ran up hurriedly, shouting even before reaching the bedroom on the third floor.
Under the golden sunray, the man who was flipping through his old notebook in front of the window in the bedroom frowned upon hearing Sasha calling for him.
Why isn’t Sebastian replying to me?
“Darling?”
