“Your family is willing to stab one of your own in the back. Why should I trust you? I don’t believe for a second that you would bring her home for a proper burial!” Sebastian continued to lambast him.
“That’s enough, Hayes!” It was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Eric finally lost his temper.
“I’m not giving you an option. This is the Jadesons’ family matter. I suggest you stay away from it.”
It was a stern warning issued with murderous intent manifesting in his eyes.
Unfortunately, Eric didn’t know that the young man before him was not carrying the name of the Hayes.
Sebastian was also one of the Jadesons. He was born out of wedlock, and Frieda did all she could to save him. In exchange, she lost her life for him.
“Listen up, Jadeson. Frieda is one of mine. So long as I’m alive, you can stop dreaming about taking her away. If you dare try, be prepared to suffer the consequences!” Sebastian was not someone to be shaken by bare threats.
His voice was even and calm. There was even a glimpse of a smile on his face.
However, his cool and friendly demeanor was a stark contrast to the numbing terror in his message.
Eric gawked at Sebastian angrily, unable to tolerate him any longer. Under normal circumstances, he would have pointed his gun at him.
Be that as it may, Sebastian’s dominance held him in his tracks.
“Sebastian, there is absolutely no benefit in going against the Jadesons. Don’t forget about your wife and children.” Eric threatened.
“Is that so? Someone from your background is trying to get me to cave with such pathetic tricks?” The man was unmoved.
Eric took a step back and smiled in return.
“Of course not. The Jadesons are an elite family. However, there will often be times when desperate measures are needed.”
He smirked before continuing. “Sebastian, know your place. You may be the tyrant in the business sector, but at the end of the day, you are just a normal citizen. The Jadesons are different. We are people of power and influence. Don’t you see?”
It was ironic that an elite family tasked with safeguarding national security was making threats against ordinary citizens, shamelessly and without finesse!
They abused their power and influence and decimated anyone who stood in their way.
