Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1292
Boom! Sebastian was woken up by a giant explosion.
Has it begun?
He scanned his surrounding, only to realize that he was still restrained in the basement. The guard who had been
watching him was equally shocked by the loud bombing sound. He jumped out of his chair and ran toward
Sebastian at once.
According to Eddie’s original plan, this is supposed to be our headquarters. As soon as everything has been carried
out successfully in Jadeborough, the troop will return triumphantly. The explosion is completely unexpected. Did the
plan change?
The guard scurried to his bed side.
“What do you want?” Sebastian asked coldly.
The guard answered, “I’m surprised at how bold the Jadesons can get. Things were developing so well, yet an
accident still happen. What do I want? I surely want to bring you along with me. Do you really think that I’ll hand you
over so easily?”
Next, he took out a syringe and a tube of unknown liquid from the drawer beside the bed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSebastian’s eyes widened in shock.
“What are you doing? I warn you to think twice if you wish to stay alive. Aren’t you aware of the actual situation
outside?” reminded Sebastian while trying hard to suppress his fear.
The guard was stunned. “What do you mean? You know what’s going on outside?”
“As a matter of fact, I do. This is because everything that is happening now is under my control. If you were to let
me go now, I’ll guarantee your safety,” Sebastian made a tempting offer.
His words made the guard reconsider his action. Lowering his head, he mulled it over in disbelief. He was really
struggling from within, debating the best decision to be made.
Actually, I don’t have a choice, do I? It’s not the first time Sebastian has humiliated us. Even the Chairman views
him as his greatest rival.
His position had started to falter upon hearing what Sebastian said, coupled with the bombing sounds heard.
Should I let him go? The guard held the syringe tightly.
“Don’t you worry, I won’t settle the score with you should you let me go. On the contrary, I’ll give you a lump sum,
and you can do whatever you want with the money.”
Seeing the sparkle in his eyes, Sebastian followed up with an even better condition.
However, he least expected the stupid guard to still choose Eddie after toying with the idea for so long.
“I won’t betray my master. To be honest with you, he’s the only one who treats me with dignity over all these years.
When I was still a beggar, he sheltered and fed me. All of you wealthy folks did not even bother to look at us
through the corner of your eyes. Hence, Sebastian, I won’t turn my back against him regardless of the
consequence!” he roared fiercely.
Right then, Sebastian who was handcuffed, witnessed how the guard injected the unknown substance into his neck
through a sharp needle.
Clank!
With his eyes burning with rage, Sebastian had nowhere to hide on the narrow bed. He tried avoiding it, but to no
avail.
Within seconds, he was pinned down. The guard took up the syringe once again and stared at him with a devilish
look. “Go to hell! My master says that you shall be his company in the after-life if the plan fails.”
At that split second, the door to the basement was suddenly kicked open from the outside, to which the guard
turned his head in response.
Bang! A gunshot was fired.
Sebastian saw a bullet hit the center of the guard’s forehead. The latter then shut his eyes and fell over.
“What a dumba**!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon seeing the guard had fallen dead, the man who pulled the trigger entered the room.
Sebastian was astounded to see the person who just walked in. “Edmund? It’s you?”
The man who saved him in the nick of time was Edmund, who heeded Sebastian’s advice and returned to
Yorksland.
“Why can’t it be me? Didn’t you connect the dots? I’m the son of Benedict Cooper. You would have guessed that the
old man would engage me at the most critical moment to get the job done, wouldn’t you?”
Edmund was still his usual, languid, and carefree self.
Nonetheless, his actions were swift. He proceeded to release Sebastian from the cuffs, tossed the dead body out,
and ransacked the room for the key.
Lying down on the bed, a wave of guilt suddenly washed Sebastian over.
Back then, he was a tad bit cruel to make Edmund leave for Yorksland, just so that the latter would not be a
stumbling block between Sabrina and Devin. As the son of Benedict, Edmund had indeed carried out a lot of favors
for the Jadeson family. Unfortunately, Sebastian sent him away due to personal reasons.
It did not take long for Edmund to find the key and unlock the shackle on Sebastian’s wrists.
“I’m sorry for sending you back to Yorksland. That was very insensible of me.” In the end, Sebastian pressed his lips
and apologized.
