Chapter 1614 Confession

“No, he won’t. I’ve arranged for him to do an internship.”

“Huh?”

Sasha was dumbfounded, finding it strange to have Kurt undergo an internship when he had only started
attending classes not long ago.

Nevertheless, she could not voice any objections to Sebastian’s arrangement since he always had his
reasons for every decision he made.

Little did she know that even Karl could not seem to understand the logic behind Sebastian’s decision.



“Why did you send Kurt away, Mr. Hayes? If that mother and son duo are related to Elysium, then
wouldn’t it be safer to keep Kurt near Ms. Vivian so that he can protect her?” he asked as he prepared to
head out.

“Kurt doesn’t know that both of his brothers died serving the Hayeses,” Sebastian replied coldly.



His gaze had darkened, and his tone carried a touch of sorrow.

In his lifetime, the death of the brothers’ struck the greatest remorse in his heart.

Just as many had died for his sake, many had also died at his hand. The more notable examples were
his mother, Frieda, and his best friend, Shawn.

However, their deaths were mainly due to the nature of their relationship with him. Frieda died for him
because she was his mother, and Shawn died for him because they were best friends.



Had their positions been reversed, Sebastian would have sacrificed his life to save theirs, too, if they
were in danger.

The two brothers were a whole different story, though.

As employees of SteelFort, they had dedicated their lives to serving the Hayes family. In other words,
their relationship with Sebastian was that of a superior and subordinate, so he had only taken from them
without giving anything in return.

As such, he did not deserve to have them sacrifice their lives for him like that, especially since he would
not have done the same for them back then.

Sebastian gently stroked the other eagle-shaped cufflink as he continued, “Kurt has nothing to do with
this operation, and I intend to keep it that way. Since he doesn’t know about the existence of his two
brothers, it would be best if he never finds out.”

“Got it, Mr. Hayes!”

Having finally understood the situation, Karl took the eagle cufflink over and left in a hurry.

He’s right. This tragic incident is all in the past now, so nothing we do will change what happened in any
way. Since Kurt doesn’t know about the existence of his brothers, he is spared from the pain of losing
them. It’s probably best for things to remain like that.

With that in mind, he headed over to Yartran later that night.

Meanwhile, Vivian was anxiously waiting for Kurt’s return in the garden of the villa. After what seemed
like forever, she finally saw him approaching from the distance. As always, he had on a blue hoodie and
was carrying a canvas bag over his shoulder.

“Kurt!”



Her eyes lit up with joy as she ran toward him as quickly as she could.

A faint smile formed on Kurt’s lips when he looked up and saw how elated she was to see him.

Vivian wrapped her arms around his and beamed at him, chirping, “You’re finally back!”

Although the two of them had gotten a lot closer lately, Kurt still tensed up from shyness when he saw
the housemaids looking at them.

“Yeah, I’m back. Why did you come out of the house? It’s cold out here,” he replied while trying to pull his
arm out.

To his dismay, Vivian only tightened her grip on his arm even further when she felt his movement.

“I came out to welcome you home, Kurt! Daddy told me you’re going to Ipston with the professor
tomorrow. Will you be gone for long? How about we go out for a nice dinner tonight?” Vivian pleaded with
a pout while clinging tightly to him.

For some reason, it pained Kurt to see her behaving like that.

“I can choose not to go there if you don’t want me to.”

“Huh?”

Vivian stared wide-eyed at him in surprise.

What? He can stay? I mean, of course, I don’t want him to go! Heck, I would even go to Regalius
Academy with him if I could! But Daddy said the bad guys responsible for Brother Cal’s death are no
ordinary people! He even ordered Mr. Frost to come over and protect me personally! If it really is so
dangerous, then all the more reason for me not to put Kurt’s life at risk!



With that in mind, Vivian replied, “No, that’s not it! I’m really happy to hear that you’re going to do an
internship with your professor so soon, Kurt! It’s just that I’m going to miss you dearly while you’re away,
that’s all.”

Her confession was so clear and straightforward that Kurt found himself blushing hard after hearing it.

If it were not for his high level of self-control, he probably would have done something irrational right
there and then.

“All right,” he said with his head lowered to hide his flushed cheeks.
