The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian) novel Chapter 1303

Chapter 1303 Can Miss Hayes Save Him

That was his secret.

Nobody knew this, but in the past, the old geezer used the same tactic to force him to return to his side when he left the Jadeson residence.

Edmund had always thought that he hid his feelings perfectly, that even the two Jadesons had not the slightest clue about it. Unexpectedly, all of his actions were captured by that old bastard. As a consequence, it was even used as blackmail against him to become Eddie’s lackey once again.

That explained why he did not hesitate to lend a helping hand and rescue Sebastian from the explosion at the basement of the Sheerwood residence.

Edmund truly wanted Eddie to die so that the latter could no longer haunt him with the dirt he had on him. Additionally, he also distanced himself from Devin and the gang due to this one secret of his.

Just when he thought he had gotten rid of the old bastard, a Jetroinian was next in line to use the same threat against him.

Alas, Edmund was left with no other option but to surrender his share of the Cooper family’s possessions.

“All right, Mr. Cooper. We’ve received what we wanted, so you may excuse yourself. Don’t worry, I won’t lay a finger on you. Times have changed, and I sure don’t want an ugly death,” the Jetroinian stated clearly upon getting what he had coveted.

In the end, a disheveled Edmund was released from the casino.

What an irony! He entered the casino as a filthy rich person but left the premises without a dime in his pocket.

“Mr. Edmund, we…”

“Go back. I can still afford a flight ticket for you.”

He fished out a few pieces of notes which were originally intended as tips for the waiters at the bar.

His subordinate was on the verge of crying when Edmund passed him the money.

“This isn’t right. Mr. Edmund! When Mr. Cooper was alive, he strictly reminded me to take good care of you. Look at the state you’re in now! How could I leave you alone in peace?”

“I said, go without me! Was the message not loud and clear? Forget about Mr. Cooper! I’m just an illegitimate child who killed him. Why are you still following me? Get lost!” He broke down the moment he uttered the last line.

Barking at his man to leave him alone, Edmund quickened his steps as he stumbled away.

To be honest, he was not totally unbothered about his father’s death. Otherwise, it would not have triggered his emotions when his father was mentioned.

When he lost everything at the casino, it finally dawned on him that he had been leading an extravagant lifestyle all this while. All the things he owned and used were lavish and of premium quality.
