“You knew about this the whole time too, didn’t you?”
“What?”
Rufus’ hand froze upon hearing that, and there was a look of panic on his face and it had gone pale.
Sebastian felt his burning rage and hatred resurface when he saw his reaction.
“That Shin is my biological father! You knew the Jadesons were a huge threat to my mom since she showed up, so why didn’t you tell me about it? Why did you and Frederick keep it a secret from me? Don’t tell me this is your way of protecting me!” he shouted at the top of his lungs with bloodshot eyes.
Rufus was at a loss for words.
It was indeed our way of protecting him, but I have no right to say that now… Not after how Frieda died in front of him as a result…
“Sebastian, I-”
“Do you have any idea how much shock and disbelief I was in when I discovered that Shin was my father? Devin told me how the Jadesons had mercilessly gotten rid of that ‘traitor’ even though he was a member of the family. As such, I was grateful to both you and Frederick when I found out that I survived that gruesome fate, but why didn’t you tell me the truth? Why did you have to wait until he’s dead to tell me? I’m not a f*cking kid anymore, da*n it! It’s all too late now!”
Despair, anger, and hatred were written all over his face, and he broke down in tears moments after screaming his heart out.
Rufus was shocked by how emotional he got.
Frieda has only made such a brief appearance, and he’s that devastated over her death? There isn’t a single trace of hope in those eyes of his! I don’t understand this guy at all…
He would’ve understood Sebastian if he knew how Frieda died.
