Chapter 45 Huge News

“Great! It’s a deal!” Sebastian beamed before standing up and taking his phone out. “I’ll tell my men to head to the police station now to drop Phoebe’s charges.”

Madeline stared at him speechlessly. This man is serious… Really? I don’t know how to describe him. Two-faced? Scary? Evil? Anyway, from now on, I’ll definitely try my best to not get on his bad side! Otherwise, I don’t even know how he’s going to ruin my life! Sebastian was a man of his words—he gave Quinton a call in front of Dan and ordered Quinton to send someone to the police station to cancel the charges filed against Phoebe.

Dan was overjoyed, and he pressed his hands on the ground and staggered to his feet. It was hard for him to get up as he had an injury on his left leg. Although it didn’t affect his daily life, he couldn’t do extreme exercises, and his leg would hurt on rainy days.

Since he arrived in the room, he had already been kneeling on the ground for about four minutes, and the injury on his left leg couldn’t handle the pressure. It was starting to hurt him, and his whole left leg felt stiff, making it hard for him to walk. After Sebastian ended the call, he glanced at Dan’s left leg before smirking. “You got that injury from the car accident, didn’t you?”

Dan instinctively clutched his left leg as he spoke with a blank expression on his face. “I’m fine. It’s just a slight injury.” He had only injured his leg in the accident, while Phoebe’s father had lost his life. Whenever he thought about how someone had lost their life to save his, he would feel a terrible ache in his chest.

Dan felt especially guilty toward Phoebe, who had lost her father because of him. That explained why he was willing to sacrifice his pride and dignity just to get Phoebe out of prison. Fortunately, his plan was a success! He couldn’t care about the pain in his left leg as he walked out of the room excitedly. “I’ll go pick Phoebe up!”

He would never forget the shame he felt that day. Right then, he didn’t have the ability to go against Sebastian, but one day, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely get revenge on Sebastian! It’s never too late to get revenge. I’m going to remember this for the rest of my life!

“Hold on.” Sebastian chuckled. “You don’t have to be in such a rush. Even if I stop pressing charges, she won’t be released immediately. I have a secret regarding your car accident, and I believe you’d be interested in hearing it. Why don’t you stay for a while and hear me out?”

Madeline kept quiet the whole time. It’s coming! It’s finally happening! First, Sebastian had a discussion with Dan so that he could get what he wanted in exchange for setting Phoebe free. Once Dan agreed to it, Sebastian actually agreed to release Phoebe. Dan had just started celebrating, and he had only been happy for a few minutes, yet Sebastian was about to pour a bucket of cold water on his head now. If my guess is right, once Dan finds out the truth of the car accident, he’s going to go to the police station to stop the police from canceling the case. Dan would want to press charges on Phoebe all over again. So, Phoebe will still stay in jail in the end. This is really… Once again, Madeline reminded herself to never become Sebastian’s enemy. He wasn’t just a powerful man—he also used a lot of malicious tactics. I can’t afford to mess with someone like him!

Dan’s footsteps came to a halt before he turned around to look at Sebastian. “Do you know something about my car accident?”

“Yes.” Sebastian pointed at the couch. “Sit down and hear me out. I promise you won’t regret this.”

Dan stared at Sebastian before he turned to gaze at Madeline for a moment. Madeline let out a quiet sigh before she poured Dan a glass of warm water. “Come over and sit, Dan. It’d be good for you to know about this secret.” Sebastian had put in a lot of effort and money to obtain this secret about the car accident, so Madeline believed that she had no right to tell Dan the secret without getting Sebastian’s permission first. She was, therefore, glad that Sebastian had decided to tell Dan the truth. She hoped that the truth would be out so that Dan and Nigel would no longer act like two idiots who didn’t know anything.

Dan knew Madeline well, and he knew that Madeline wouldn’t lie to him. If she said that it was beneficial for him to hear the secret, then he knew that he’d definitely benefit from it. However, he simply couldn’t think of any possible secret that could be related to the car accident, and he couldn’t imagine how he would benefit from it. In the end, he slowly turned around before taking a seat on the couch.

Sebastian turned to speak to Madeline then. “Give Mr. Taylor a call and tell him to come over to hear the secret together.”

“Okay.” Madeline nodded before pulling her phone out to call Nigel. Nigel was just nearby. When Dan said that he was going to look for Madeline to ask her to release Phoebe, Nigel had followed him as he was worried. But after his past experience with Sebastian, Nigel was too ashamed to meet Madeline, so he had decided to wait in the car.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

After receiving Madeline’s call, Nigel hurried over to the VIP room. Dan questioned Sebastian after four of them were in their seats. “What secret is it? Can you tell us now?”

“Yes.” Sebastian smiled elegantly as he placed a file that his men had just handed him in front of Nigel and Dan. “If you guys aren’t complete idiots, you’ll understand what the secret is after you read these files.”

Nigel’s face turned pale, and his veins popped out as he felt himself getting mad. Sebastian is just too horrible! The Taylors might not be as powerful as the Harts, but I’m still his senior! He’s so rude when he speaks to me—he doesn’t have any manners at all! Nigel’s facial muscles trembled with anger, and his fingers were shaking as he reached for the file.

If the Taylors were actually more powerful than the Harts, Nigel would’ve picked up the coffee in front of him and splashing it over Sebastian. Nigel desperately wanted to teach the disrespectful brat a lesson! However, the Taylors were no match for the Harts, so Nigel couldn’t afford to infuriate Sebastian. Even though Nigel felt like his chest was about to burst with rage and shame, he could only clench his jaw and hold it all in. He took deep breaths and contained the emotions within him as he tore the file open with trembling fingers.

Nigel froze after he finished reading the first page. His eyes widened as his fingers shook even harder than before. Dan, who had leaned closer to glance at the files, put on the same expression after reading the papers. When they finished the second page, Dan couldn’t control himself any longer. He grabbed the papers and began to mutter to himself. “How could this be? How could this be?!”

Nigel looked up at Sebastian with his face pale and sickly. “The details here… A-Are they real?” Sebastian curled his lips into a smile. “All of Bryan’s doctors’ reports are at the back of the file. You can see the hospital’s official chop and signature. If you still don’t believe me, you can send your men to investigate it.”

Sebastian leaned back in his seat to rest in an even more elegant pose. “When he went for his first check-up, he didn’t know that what he had was a terminal illness. Furthermore, he probably didn’t think about using his life in exchange for his daughter’s lifetime happiness. So, during his first check-up, he had used his original name and hadn’t bothered to hide anything. It was easy to find this,” Sebastian uttered.
