Chapter 84 It Turns Out to Be Kingston
Hailey saw her father, hurried over to him, and asked, "Dad, what's going on? Where are they taking you?"
When she saw the vehicles of law enforcement officers, Hailey was surprised.
These past few days had been the worst time in the past forty-eight years of Cameron's life.
First of all, he lost 60 million dollars.
And now he faced allegations of bribery.
The company's stock was plummeting, which was killing him.
"Hailey, please stay at home and wait for me. I'll be fine," he reassured her. Without concrete evidence, he didn't think they could do anything to him.
They only wanted to make his company's stock go down.
Hailey's face turned pale. How could this happen?
She didn't know why her family took so many blows in just a few days.
Hailey never thought that Sebastian could be behind the downfall of her family.
She watched as her father was taken away and immediately contacted the company's lawyer to handle other pressing issues.
When she returned home, she found her sister sitting on the couch crying. Her younger brother was at college, and her mother was with him.
Aubrey stopped crying upon seeing Hailey and asked, "Hailey, what should we do? We've always depended on Dad, and now that he's in trouble. What are we going to do?"
Hailey was also feeling upset and wondered why the string of misfortunes had befallen her family in such a short time.
It seemed that her former peaceful life was about to turn into a hell.
Even thinking about this scared her.
She couldn't shake off the feeling of unease.
Aubrey gripped her sister's arm nervously and cried, "Hailey, go and ask Seb for help. He's in Grona, and he has immense power. A single word from him can determine a person's fate. Just beg him, and he will surely help us."
Hailey had saved Waylon's life, but she didn't want Sebastian to return the favor so easily. NôvelDrama.Org content.
She wanted to marry Sebastian, which would grant her everything she desired.
Hailey thought it over and replied, "Let's wait for a while."
She couldn't afford to waste this opportunity.
She would only turn to Sebastian for help as a last resort.
In the Sannot Courtyard...
As soon as she got out of the car, Eleanor took Waylon to his bedroom without even glancing at Sebastian.
It was only when they entered the car that she realized what she said in the elevator. She addressed Sebastian as her husband, which was so embarrassing.
Sebastian watched Eleanor go inside in a hurry with curiosity in his eyes.
Christian helped him into his wheelchair and said, "Cameron's affairs become the talk of the town. Although there's no concrete evidence, it's proving to be a fatal blow to his company. The stocks hit a limit down, and there seem to be traitors inside the company. This time, he will suffer a great loss."
Sebastian sneered and showed no sympathy.
"Make the Logan family disappear within three months," he ordered. Anyone who dared to harm his son would not be spared, and he wouldn't let Hailey get away with it.
Christian nodded, and after a brief pause, he added, "We need to expedite the investigation to find out who is behind poisoning Waylon. We must hurry this up."
"Okay," Sebastian nodded and said.
As they spoke, they entered the study.
Christian received a video.
He clicked it and took a look at it. Then he, "I would you like to watch this video, but I'm worried it might disturb you."
As he spoke, Christian showed Sebastian who was frigid the video.
Sebastian fell silent.
He glanced at it and quickly looked away.
That was disturbing.
It was a sex video of Hailey and Kingston.
Christian shook his head slightly and said with a surprised look on his typically expressionless face, "It's almost impossible to believe that a woman who appears so delicate and gentle can be so slutty."
Christian continued as he played another video, "Waylon didn't lie. Look at this; it's the scene of Eleanor saving Waylon. This video was extracted from the dash cam in Hailey's car. Her vehicle was following the one that kidnapped Waylon."
Sebastian blazed with anger. Eleanor, who seemed fragile and unsteady on her feet, mustered incredible determination to rescue Waylon.
Kingston came in to report the events of last night, but he also overheard their conversation. He was shocked and left discreetly.
Sebastian sensed the sound outside the door, but no one entered. He thought he heard it wrong and continued watching the video.
Kingston went downstairs. His entire body was trembling, and he found it hard to breathe. Sebastian found out it was Hailey who had kidnapped Waylon.
As the investigation unfolded, he knew he was in deep trouble.
He liked Hailey. He was willing to do anything for her, as long as it was within his power, regardless of the consequences.
However, sacrificing his life was a different matter.
Kingston was thinking about whether to inform Hailey about the situation.
He was aware of her malevolent nature, and if this matter was exposed, she would certainly make him take the fall.
He had already slept with her and won her heart, and over the past year, he had committed numerous misdeeds for her.
She compensated him generously each time, which was what he deserved.
He knew better than to challenge Sebastian, who was an enigmatic and formidable adversary. By the time he sought a confrontation, Sebastian would already hold the upper hand.
He didn't want to risk his life for a woman.
He came to Vincent and asked for a three-day leave on the excuse of a family emergency. Then he packed up his things and left the Sannot Courtyard.
He didn't want to be her scapegoat.
A few minutes later, Sebastian learned from Vincent that Kingston had left.
Sebastian sneered; it turned out that Kingston had been at the door earlier.
He looked at Vincent with cold eyes and ordered, "Go and bring him back. Last time, when Caleb got into trouble, it was his doing."
Vincent's eyes widened as he stared at Sebastian. Caleb was like a brother to him, so he would certainly not let Kingston get away with this.
"Mr. Moore, I'm on it," Vincent left quickly.
Sebastian then turned to Christian and said, "You should go get some rest now. Good work!"
Christian looked at Sebastian who had a straight face and said with a smile, "You've changed."
"Changed? How?" Sebastian asked in surprise.
Christian explained, "You've become more compassionate."
With that, Christian left the study,
Sebastian was left deep in thought.
...
Eleanor was exhausted. After returning home, she lay on the bed to have a rest, and Waylon brought a small stool to sit by her side.
Looking at her mother's delicate sleeping face, Waylon realized why he was good-looking. Her mother was truly stunning!
Waylon propped her chin with his hands and had a bright smile on his face. He had her father's protection and her mother's love. Life was so blissful!
His eyes squinted while smiling.
He was also a happy child now.
In the study, Sebastian was worried about Elijah and put on a mask.
Then he gave Elijah a call.
"Sir, to what do I own the pleasure of getting your call?" Elijah asked in a soft voice, and it warmed his heart.
Sebastian said gently, "You're very cute. I just wanted to know if you're doing well these days." Sebastian was good at chit-chatting and didn't know what he was supposed to say.
The inexperienced conversationalist, Sebastian, was unsure of what to say.
On the other end, it was noisy and he could hear cries of street vendors in the background.
Sebastian's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Elijah, where are you?"
