Chapter 260
Sebastian sneered, his indiferent and distant peach blossom eyes full of self-mockery.
He stilled the oppressive pain in lus heart, litted the wine glass, and took another sip.
His seductively bobbing Adam’s apple rolled, swallowing all the pain as easily as he had swallowed the
wine
Sebastian drained his wine glass, stood up, and stumbled up the stairs, the alcohol unable to dull the
pain.
Gazing at the cold and distant back, Lance abruptly realized his grandfather was right: emotions could
ruin a person totally.
His second brother had been taught from a young age to not be emotional, yet he was the most
emotional one; in contrast, he was always dismissive of feelings.
Lance toyed with the wine glass and glanced at Leo, who was equally anxious. “My second brother
was aware that Miss Sales was still alive, yet he was still downcast. Did he go to seek her out to make
amends and get turned down?”
Leo averted his anxious gaze and nodded at Lance. It appears Miss Sales has been disappointed at
Mr. Jackman.”
He didn’t mean that Miss Sales had never loved Mr. Jackman, he always believed that she had
Whenever he went to fetch Miss Sales in the past, she had always invariably beamed
She would personally make soup for Mr. Jackman, knowing that his stomach was not feeling well, and
ask him to give it to him in secret
Whenever she was in the presence of Mr. Jackman, she had always been respectful and thoughtful.
Most of the time, the two had got along splendidly
Occasionally, Mr. Jackman would abruptly depart in a rage and then remain aloof toward Miss Sales for
an extended period. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
For five years, the two had remained in this state of affairs.
When Mr. Jackman eventually decided to terminate the agreement. Miss Sales refused to accept any
compensation from him.
She did this solely to let Mr. Jackman know that she had been with him not for financial gain.
Upon seeing what Miss Sales had dropped in the mansion, Mr. Jackman, without showing any reaction
on the surface, had immediately asked him to let her retrieve it
He had wanted Miss Sales to come over, but she declined, so resolved that she erased all hus contact
details.
Mr. Jackman, in a state of panic, made several calls, only to confirm that she had indeed deleted the
past. Stunned, he had remained so for a long time.
Later, he mistakenly believed that Miss Sales had secured a new patron, and in his rage, not only had
he been unable to get her back, but he had also inadvertently caused her to leave.
Then, upon Dev’s arrival, Mr. Jackman was so overwhelmed that he went to extreme lengths to please
Miss Sales. Once Miss Sales and Mr. Jackman had clarified matters at the villa, Mr. Jackman had
intended to let Miss Sales go. Later, however, Mr. Jackman acted to safeguard Miss Sales, yet it
resulted in her premature death.
It was likely due to these occurrences that Miss Sales had abandoned hope in Mr Jackman.
When Mr. Jackman was angry in the past, he had told him of Miss Sales’ feelings, yet he did not
believe it.
It seemed fated for the two of them to have come to such a situation; Miss Sales was seemingly not
destined to belong to Mr. Jackman.
Lance snapped his fingers in front of his eyes, bringing his wandering thoughts back into focus. “Tell my
second brother,” he said, “since he’s been turned down, let her go. Don’t keep pushing her.”
Mr. Jackman, in his position of power, how could he lower his status again and agam for a woman by
demonstrating humility and respect
Leo revealed a helpless smile. “Even you can’t convince him, let alone me.”
Lance scoffed at him. ‘Anyway, I’ll leave this to you I don’t want to see Second Brother sink into
depravity.
