Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Later on, when Devin joined the army, his physical prowess became even more pronounced.

Within a mere few years, he had been promoted from a low-rank soldier to his current position. There were many envious eyes following his rise through the ranks.

However, he knew his Grandpa had always preferred ‘scholars’.

Scholars had brains and intellect, and that was what his Grandpa respected.

For example, his Uncle Shin.

Another example is Uncle Shin’s son, Sebastian.

Devin stood in front of the mirror for a long while, glaring at the image reflected back at him. The mist from the hot water had already risen all around him before he pulled himself away and walked into the shower.

Rather than trying to change himself to live up to his Grandpa’s expectations, perhaps it was better to just let Sebastian garner that favor.

Sebastian, too, had heard about the plan to send his two sons to Opal Garden Academy.

Instead of feeling happy and proud of his sons’ achievements, he had slammed his pen onto the table and yelled, “No!”

“Why?” Tony asked. It was him who had relayed the news to Sebastian. His eyes widened in shock when he heard Sebastian protest so strongly.

“Mr. Sebastian, Opal Garden Academy is the best school in the city. Only the most deserving students are able to get in. No amount of influence, money, or power will get you a place there.”

Tony assumed that Sebastian was unaware of the school’s good reputation and hurriedly sung praises of the school’s merits and the privilege of being enrolled there.

However, Sebastian had coldly retorted, “I’ve already said that they’re not going to that school. That’s the end of it.”

“But…”
