Chapter 1284

Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

With a ferocious smile on his face, that man took out a map and pointed out all the ambush and
deployment planned by everyone else.

If everything were to go according to plan, this war would be over soon. By then, he would have
conquered the world.

“Go ahead.”

“Noted.” Immediately, the subordinate turned and left, only to be called back by Eddie, who just had a
new idea dawned on him.

“Hang on. Is there any way you could capture that lunatic?”

“Huh?” The subordinate could not believe his ears.

“Did you mean… the lunatic from the Jadeson family? Chairman, you…”

“First and foremost, I’m relieved if he’s in my hands. Additionally, I could really pick his brain. It will work
toward my advantage if I’m able to tame him down.” Malice and greed flashed across his wrinkled
eyes.

Indeed, he’s a talent that everyone covets. Back then, his father, Shin, had the exact same fate as him
due to his exceptional intelligence.

Decades had passed, and Shin had never once surrendered to Eddie. The latter kept him alive despite
breaking his rib bones. Eddie would torture Shin once every ten days, but he had no intention of killing
him.



Thirty years had gone by, Eddie was determined to have Shin’s outstanding son as his pawn.

“But everyone is watching him now, Chairman. If he’s abducted, it will surely alert the Jadesons.”

“Have you forgotten about our doppelganger? It’s time to put him to good use.”

Shocked, the subordinate had never expected Eddie to say such a thing.

Later in the evening, Sebastian got into a car accident on his way home from the hospital.

Bang!

Sitting in the back seat, he was completely caught off guard. As he was swung to the door with a loud
thud, he felt a sharp pain on his forehead. Within seconds, his vision went black.

“Are you okay, Mr. Hayes?” Karl, who was at the driver’s seat, anxiously stabilized the steering wheel
and then turned to check on Sebastian.

Suddenly, the other car collided head-on with theirs, resulting in a loud crash while sending both of
them up in the air.

As a consequence, Sebastian collapsed and lost his consciousness whereas Karl had a temporary
black out.

Moments later, when Karl had regained his consciousness, he realized that he had been tossed out of
the car. Their vehicle was totally destroyed, with all the doors were opened.

“Mr. Hayes! Mr. Hayes!”

Terror-stricken, he ignored his injuries and used up all of his might to prop himself up. Then, he climbed
into the car.



Thank God, he’s still here!

The man in the car had passed out during the accident.

Two hours later, Jonathan was seen pacing aimlessly outside of the operating theater at the General
Hospital. He was so worked up that his brows were knitted together.

“Why isn’t he out yet? It’s been forever!” he bellowed with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

The rest of the Jadesons were also present. They paled at his angry roars. Sasha was especially
petrified. If it were not for Sabrina who supported her, the former would not be able to hold it all
together.

Fortunately, the wait was not long before the doors of the operating theater opened.

“How’s my grandchild? Huh? How is he?” Jonathan was the first one who dashed toward the surgeon.

Grayson was still suffering from the after-effects of the previous explosion. Hence, he did not take part
in the operation. Seeing what happened, he instantly tried to calm Jonathan down.

Finally, the surgeon spoke, “Don’t worry everyone, Mr. Jadeson is safe. His legs are fractured, and
there are signs of a concussion, most likely due to the terrible hit on the head. Thus, he will need to be
bedridden for a while.”

Confined to the bed for a period of time? That’s fine, as long as he’s all right.

The entire family heaved a sigh of relief. Sasha felt weak in the knees as tears streaked her face
uncontrollably. She was scared out of her mind.

The unconscious Sebastian was then transferred to the ward.



Shortly after, Devin arrived. As soon as he had confirmed that Sebastian was fine, he strode toward
another ward to query Karl, “What happened? Was it purely an accident or man-made?”

“The latter.” Karl was resolute.

“I could tell that the car had a strong intent to get rid of Mr. Hayes. This is because the driver purposely
hit us twice. It wasn’t a place with particularly high traffic.”

“Man-made?” Devin exuded a horrifying murderous intent.

The whole Jadeborough lived in fear of a purge. Ever since Eddie was removed, the Jadesons
regained complete reign over the city. There was no room for anyone to act brazenly on their turf.

There’s someone who’s actually planning to kill a Jadeson? And of all people, he’s targeting the key
member of the Jadeson family!

“It must be Eddie. Sebastian has been his greatest rival all this while. Now that he’s unwell, it’s not
surprising for Eddie to think about finishing Sebastian off. In that way, there will be no loose ends to
haunt him anymore,” Jonathan analyzed the situation upon hearing their conversations.

Nodding, Karl concurred with his thoughts.

With that, Devin looked even more worried.

As soon as he left the hospital, all the special armed forces were deployed to sweep the city through a
thorough search, with the hope to remove the traitors.

Little did they know that the whole city was now filled with social cankers. In addition, they also had no
idea that the person they wanted to protect so badly had already been switched!
