Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1612 The Princess Goes To Her Daddy

Vivian then rushed home as quickly as possible and immediately gave Sebastian a call.

“I don’t want to go to Regalius Academy, Daddy! Please tell them not to transfer me there!”

The young woman began crying out loud the moment the call got through.

Even at the age of seventeen, she still behaved like a child in front of her parents. That was mainly due to her being pampered since she was a child.

Sebastian was having a video conference with the business department staff at the time, so everyone was able to hear her wailing over the phone. While he knitted his brows, the others exchanged glances.

Is that his little princess? Why is she crying on the phone like this? Did she get bullied or something?

No one dared to say a word.

“What is it? Tell me what happened,” Sebastian asked.

When the meeting started, he was emanating an overbearing aura that terrified others to the core. However, his tone became ridiculously gentle and affectionate when he was talking to his daughter, giving everyone goosebumps.

That was probably the best representation of differential treatment.

“L-Lady Adalyn was attending a party… She brought a classmate of mine and me along… W-We met the king, a-and… Today, I heard from someone that the king wants me to study at Regalius Academy! I don’t want to go there, Daddy! I want to stay here… N-No, if possible, you could transfer me to another school

too! In fact, it’d be nice if I could study in Atlantius. Kurt is in that city too, so it’ll be easier for us to look out for each other.”

Vivian was so upset that she ended up rambling incoherently, much to Sebastian’s dismay.

A few minutes later, he hung up the phone and ended the video conference as well.

He then summoned Karl into the study. “Vivian has run into some trouble. Roppell is preparing to transfer her over to Regalius Academy.”

“What?” Karl was shocked.

What’s with this rapid escalation of events? Didn’t Ms. Vivian just meet Roppell’s son last night? Why are they transferring her to Regalius Academy the next day? Isn’t this all a little too soon?

“Mr. Hayes, could it be that Roppell has realized we’re onto him? Maybe that’s why he’s deliberately doing this to Ms. Vivian.”

Frowning, Sebastian sighed. “No, I don’t think so. Vivian’s encounter with Jason last night was by accident. She hasn’t gotten over Calvin after all these years, so it’s normal for her to get a little curious when she finds someone who looks so much like him.”

Karl could understand Vivian’s behavior as he was just as dumbstruck when he saw Jason and could not take his eyes off him the whole time.

“I’ve been keeping an eye on them for over three years now, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Roppell. On the other hand, Jason’s mother, who rarely shows herself in public, seems awfully suspicious.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. You see, Calvin was only twenty-one years old when he died. He had been living in SteelFort until he was twenty, so there was no way he could’ve had an illegitimate son. After that, he…”

Karl’s eyes reddened halfway through his sentence, and he could not bring himself to finish the rest of it. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Sebastian shot him an impassive glance and soon changed the topic. “Jason isn’t related to Calvin. Are you trying to say that there’s something wrong with his face and his mother?”

“That’s right.” Karl nodded.

After regaining his composure, he continued, “Calvin’s father is the king of the Elysium tribe. I’ve looked up all of his children, but none of them look like Calvin at all. In fact, his brother Channing doesn’t look like him either. Oh, and let’s not forget his half-brother, Kurt. Their mothers are sisters, but they look very different.”

While it was indeed impossible for the two to be related, Karl had not been able to find any information on Daphne and Jason despite having investigated them for three years.

He even made a trip to Elysium at some point, but he did not find anything useful there either.

To his surprise, Sebastian did not seem bothered by the issue he mentioned at all.

“For now, let’s not worry about how he got his face. Our main priority is to find out the reason behind this face’s reappearance. Calvin is dead, so why is his face showing up now?”

“What do you mean, Mr. Hayes?”

Sebastian lit a cigarette and held it up to his nose. Instead of puffing on it, he simply took a whiff of the smoke before replying with a sneer, “I heard that the old man in Elysium is on his deathbed, and his sons are fighting over his position as the king of the tribe. No one in Elysium has heard of Calvin and

Channing ever since they escaped, and now, someone with Calvin’s face appears out of nowhere? What do you think this means?”
