Chapter 1237

What Can Sebastian Still Do

With that, Devin left Jadeborough.

Before he did, he requested Edmund’s presence at Oceanic Estate to protect Sabrina. After all, she still
had a baby in her care.

Edmund readily agreed.

Hence, the two Jadesons headed to Smallpoint to set in motion Sasha’s rescue.

Even though it was early summer, many of the cities within the country began to warm.

Xenhall was one of them too.

“Madam, how much for this cucumber? It looks really fresh.”

“Of course, I just harvested it from my vegetable garden.”

Along the bustling streets, many villagers had brought their fresh produce to be sold.

One of them was a middle-aged lady selling cucumbers.

When she saw a potential customer, she began promoting them with vigor.

However, the person standing in front of her wooden basket was no longer interested after going
through them for a while.

“I’m planning to buy a lot. However, considering how expensive yours are, I can’t take them.”

“Huh?”



The moment the lady realized that it was a lucrative transaction, she began to feel desperate.

“How many do you want then? If you buy a lot, I’ll offer you a lower price.”

“Two for a pound. I’ll take everything, and please send them over for me,” the buyer quipped. She was
a middle-aged woman similar to the seller.

However, two for a pound for fresh cucumbers was indeed a lowball price.

Nevertheless, the seller finally agreed.

After a few minutes, the seller followed the woman while carrying all the cucumbers that were sold.
After trudging on for twenty minutes, they arrived at a dilapidated house.

“Isn’t this…”

The seller was extremely confused.

After all, being a local who knew the town very well, she was aware that the abandoned house in front
of her belonged to the Durant family.

They used to be a prominent family here a long time ago.

However, when the woman who brought the seller there heard her question, she snapped, “Why are
you asking questions? I paid you for your cucumbers and nothing else. Since no one is staying here,
can’t it be a place of respite for a weary traveler?”

“That’s true.”

The seller didn’t dare comment further.

Instead, she hoisted her baskets into the compound.



Inside the house that had been abandoned for decades, everything was broken and covered with
spider webs.

It wasn’t until they had gone further in that they saw its original courtyard. After tidying up a bit, they
managed to create a space to rest.

At the sight of the cucumber seller, a middle-aged man walked out in a black tank top. Staring at her,
he asked in displeasure, “Why did you bring someone here today?”

The cucumber seller was suddenly seized by fear.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly explained, “I… I asked her to send her vegetables here as her
cucumbers are really fresh. Given that we have many comrades here, they can give it a try.”

Only then did the man recover his gaze from the terrified cucumber seller.

“Next time, don’t bring anyone here without my permission. Do you understand?” He sounded as if he
was giving her orders.

The middle-aged woman meekly nodded to indicate her acknowledgment.

After that, the cucumber seller quickly left.

However, just when she crossed the courtyard, she saw an empty space inside. It was square and had
a well in the center.

At that moment, a slender figure was sauntering inside.

Am I seeing things?



“What are you looking at? Are you trying to get me into trouble by dilly-dallying?” the middle-aged
woman screamed at the cucumber seller when she saw her hesitate.

Only then did she leave quickly.

The Durant family’s home was a splendid and famous sight in its heyday. After all, the Durant family
was made up of warriors and doctors. Moreover, many lucrative businesses were also inherited by
them throughout the years.

Therefore, the house covered a sprawling area.

The moment the cucumber seller left, a man stormed into the area with the well and kicked the door
open with a loud bang.

The man who had just admonished the middle-aged woman bellowed, “What were you trying to do just
now by coming out here? Do you still think that someone is coming to save you?”

The person in the indoor courtyard stood in front of the aquarium, watching the little fishes swim inside.

After the man who barged in scolded her, she shot an icy glare at him. “Why not? Just you wait. They
will definitely come for me.”

“You must be dreaming! Do you know where they are headed now?” the man suddenly sneered.

The lady in the courtyard looked at him, motioning him to continue.

The man added smugly, “They have gone to Smallpoint, hahaha. And yet, they claim the Jadesons are
sharp. The rumors tell of how amazing your husband, Sebastian, is. But look, other than lunacy, what
else does he have left?”
