The Love that Never Really Dies

For a while the man busied himself once more with his writing, not intending to resume the conversation.

After a final flourish of his pen, he placed it down and glanced through his masterpiece in admiration before pouring himself a cup of tea. “How is it going over at Oceanic Estate and Red Pavilion? Is the plan successful?”

“Yes, it is.” The man who was kneeling on one knee outside the hut gazed up optimistically.

“Jasmine is not released yet. I’ve heard that Devin had volunteered as a member of the International Anti-Terrorist Group. Red Pavilion had dismissed their housemaid as well. That should be the first time he is rebelling against Jonathan.”

“Mmm, not bad.” The man inside the hut appeared satisfied with the outcome.

Devin was deemed by many to be a capable member of the Jadeson family. Since Jonathan’s retirement, no one in the Jadeson family had managed to live up to Devin’s potential.

Even Charles who was capable enough did not have the charisma and brains of Devin.

That was why it was an imperative part of their plan to draw him away from his family. Devin’s absence would undoubtedly crumble the Jadesons’ power by at least half. The next stage of subduing the madman and Jonathan would be much easier.

He took a sip of tea before picking up his pen again.

It is worth it to exchange three useless lives for the demise of the Jadesons.

When Sasha returned to the Oceanic Estate, Jonathan had already gone out again.

The Jadeson residence did not seem as peaceful as it had been in the past. It was as if the tension after Devin’s actions was palpable in the air, shared even by the servants.
