âWait. What?â Taken aback by this newfound information, Jonathan turned to face his son.
Stephen nodded hastily. âIâm not making this up! One of the maids overheard Sebastian and Tiffanyâs
conversation and confessed to me. She even revealed Sabrinaâs kidnapped location.â
More so than anyone, Stephen would not lie about this. This wonderful piece of news could potentially
clear his son, Devin, of his accusations.
âTiffany Jadeson! Is what Stephen said the truth? Has your family gone nuts to have done such a thing!â
Jonathan bore his eyes on that half-dead woman lying on the ground.
Tiffany, who had barely recovered some of her senses was back to ground zero. Jonathanâs
confrontation drained off all the blood from her face.
âN-No! Grandpa, please listen to my explanationâ¦â
âExplanation? Do you dare say youâre not involved in this? You sly brat, what I hate most is family
members selling out one another, and you did just that! I canât even phantom your future for you have
displayed such viciousnesses at this age. The world will be much better off without you.â
His words were no different from a death sentence. With her life at stake, her injuries would have to take
a backseat. She gritted through the pain and crawled pitifully towards the head of the Jadeson family.
âGrandpa, I know my mistakes! P-Please forgive me just this once! I beg you!â She kneeled in front of
him while slamming her head repeatedly against the ground.
Tiffanyâs mother too, kneeled down and begged for his forgiveness. âUncle Jonathan, please forgive her
just this once! Ericâs gone and Charles is still locked up. My foolish daughter was just trying to get
revenge for her brother and father that she committed such a huge mistake.â She was hoping this
approach would appeal to the old manâs emotions and weaken his resolve to kill Tiffany.
Stephen on the other hand was infuriated. âWhatâd you say? Revenge? What revenge would involve
Devin? My sonâs all in this miserable plight because of your daughter!â
âYouâ¦â
He continued, âBesides, with Tyler dead now, you still dare beg for your daughterâs forgiveness? You
should be more worried about what his dad will do to the both of you when he finds out.â
His words were literally sending the mother-daughter pair to the grave.
During that time, Jonathan had come to a decision. He ordered his men over. âDrag her to the military.
Weâll let them decide her punishment.â
That decision made no difference except prolonging her death.
Once in the military, she would have no choice but to admit to planning everything, including the deaths
of a few soldiers. Under military law, her crimes were punishable by death. In the end, it made no
difference even if she were to be shot by Jonathan on the head now.
Tiffany started wailing uncontrollably. âPlease, no! I donât want to be sent to the military! I donât want to be
executed!â
But she was clearly not in any position to choose. Jonathanâs men came in as soon as he instructed and
dragged her out of the Jade Court. Her horrific screams lingered even after some time.
Meanwhile, Tiffanyâs mother had collapsed from shock. None of her staff dared to go near her.
And finally, with the screaming gone, peace prevailed the Jade Court. Jonathan turned his attention back
to Sebastian, staring at him viciously. âAre you happy now?â
Besides the same deadpan expression, Jonathan received no answer from Sebastian. It was as if
whatever just happened had nothing to do with him.
After a few moments of silence, he started, âWhy would I be satisfied? Whereâs Charles? I havenât seen
him yet.â Even in this situation, he was still asking for his target.
Jonathan erupted, âWhyâre are you looking for him? Are you not done yet?â
âObviously. Iâm not done until Charles is dead. Tell me his whereabouts, or I canât guarantee something
like today wonât happen again.â Sebastian made no effort to conceal his bloodlust towards Charles. To
make matters worse, he had just calmly announced to everyone that he would continue his killing spree
until his target was dead.
Jonathan was seething with rage while everyone else was stupefied beyond words by Sebastianâs
declaration.
What the hell?
Is he crazy?
At this point, everyone was questioning his sanity. No one in their right mind would kill so many others
just to get rid of a single man.
To be more precise, he was a killing machine. Nothing about his emotionless and cold eyes was normal.
Suddenly, Stephen sensed that something was amiss. At the same time, Jonathan had readied his gun.
