Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 967

Only then did Jonathan snort coldly and stomp away, holding his walking stick.

Sebastian remained expressionless and was about to leave too when he heard Devin grunt in pain. The latter was dragging his injured leg behind him.

Sebastian stopped in his tracks before turning around and holding Devin’s arm.

“Don’t you know how to resist?”

“What?”

“You deserve to be beaten to death. How could you just stay motionless like that?” demanded Sebastian coldly. “Do you know your actions are what caused him to develop such a twisted personality?”

Devin was at a loss for words.

He glanced at Sebastian and chuckled helplessly.

I had to endure it. It’s not like I can just retaliate, right?

The two brothers helped each other out of the military zone. Jonathan and Mark were already gone as they had expected. Before getting into the car, Devin paused.

“Sebastian, are you really going to return to Avenport?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?” He panicked again since neither Jonathan nor anyone from the military was present there.

“Are you still furious about what Grandpa said? Well, if you’d like to be the heir of the Jadesons, I—”

“I don’t!” Sebastian cut him off.

“Listen up! I really don’t want to. I was forced to come here, and I’ve never thought of this place as my home. My home is in Avenport, where my parents and the rest of my family are. It’s the place that nurtured me. The same goes for Sasha, understand?” He emphasized every word, reiterating his stance clearly. His tone was heavy and laced with a hint of impatience as Devin kept refusing to believe him.

He’s never thought of this place as his home after all this time? Devin was speechless, feeling a little upset. However, it was not the time to say anything else. Neither of them spoke on the way to the Red Pavilion.

Just when Devin was about to get out of the car, Janice walked out to welcome him.

“Oh, right. About what happened at Coldbridge, that woman from the Woods was merely putting up a show. Don’t fall for their trick,” reminded Sebastian in the car.

Huh?

Devin was stunned.

When he returned to his senses and wanted to clarify what was happening, Sebastian had already driven away.

An act? How did he know that it was an act?

According to the surveillance footage, wasn’t he the one who dragged the person in? He was not present, so how did he know that it was an act?

Devin fell into deep thought.

“What’s wrong, Devin? Are you all right?”
