Chapter 977


    In the end, Jonathan did not let Candice go.


    Aside from revoking her rights to iming her allowance from Oceanic Estate as a member of The


    Ataraxy, he also ordered Mark to send her to The Substratum.


    The Substratum was an impoverished and remote ce. Whoever sent there would have a hard life.


    “No, no, Uncle Jonathan. I’m sorry… I’m sorry. Please give me another chance, Uncle Jonathan…” On


    all fours, Candice implored Jonathan pitifully.


    However, Jonathan shoved her aside with a kick.


    “I’ve given you a chance. You made a huge mistakest time, and you were locked up for half a year.


    Yet, you didn’t learn from your mistake, and you expect me to give you another chance? Take her


    away!” Jonathan cried.


    “Yes, Old Mr. Jadeson,” someone answered.


    “One more thing. Keep a close eye on her. Once she has been sent away, she’s forbidden to return to


    Jadeborough without my permission. Or else, all of you will be subjected to punishment by militaryw!”


    Jonathan even threatened his men with militaryw.


    He was very loud, and everyone in the building could hear him.


    As such, the wailing woman was dragged away.


    That night, Sasha was packing her children’s clothes. Suddenly, Vivian came over with her Barbie doll


    in her arms. “Are we going back soon, Mommy?”


    “Yes, tomorrow.” Sasha caressed her daughter’s little head. Thetter’s hair was damp after a bath.


    Panic shed in Vivian’srge, watery eyes. “What should I do now? My teacher said that she will


    organize a farewell party for me with my ssmates, as I’ll be going back soon.”


    “Huh?” It was Sasha’s turn to be surprised. What a thoughtful school to organize a farewell party for


    their student!

    Sasha was at a loss.


    At once, she turned to her two sons who were ying video games. “Matt, Little Ian, is it true? Did you


    have a farewell party in your ss?”


    “Yeah, but we declined it.” Matteo, who was enjoying himself immensely, answered the question with a


    nonchnt grin.


    Sasha was speechless.


    Vivian, who had her doll in her arms, looked like she was about to weep. Sasha immediately put down


    the clothes and hugged her.


    “Okay, okay. Mommy will ask your teacher about it. If she organized the party especially for you,


    Mommy will discuss with Daddy about going back a dayter. Is that all right?” Sasha asked.


    “All right.” Finally, the little girlughed.


    This was the difference between girls and boys.


    Boys usually did not care much about this sort of thing, especially Matteo and Ian. They were extremely


    intelligent and already knew that the school teachers organized the farewell party to appease the


    Jadesons.


    Thus, they rejected the offer on the spot.


    However, Vivian was different. She was innocent and naive. Moreover, she was a meticulous person.


    Therefore, she appreciated that her teacher decided to host this event for her.


    After tucking the children in bed, Sasha told Sebastian about this matter.


    “A party? Do schools still do these things?” Sebastian was puzzled.


    “Yes, I spoke to the teacher just now, and she did make this arrangement. She said that she had no


    other intentions. Vivian’s leaving soon, and her ssmates miss her. So, she decided to organize this


    farewell party,” Sasha exined.


    “Do they have to do that? It’s not like Vivian has spent much time at that school.” As expected,


    Sebastian seemed dismissive about the idea. He disyed an indifferent expression like his two sons.


    Eventually, he agreed to the idea.


    Vivian was the apple of his eye. He would give his daughter the world to make her happy.


    “We shall leave a dayter, then. Coincidentally, I need to look for Devin. Take the kids to school


    tomorrow. I’ll pick you up once I’ve settled the matters at hand,” Sebastian said.


    “Devin?” Sasha was stunned by his worried expression. “Where are you going to look for him? Isn’t he


    at home?”


    “No. He went out yesterday and didn’t return today. It’s all right. He might be at the military base. I’ll pay


    him a visit ande back after I’ve rified everything with him,” he exined briefly.


    In fact, that was what Sebastian believed. They have already discussed the matter, and Devin had no


    reason to disappear out of the blue again. If he was not in Red Pavilion, he should be held up by his


    work at the military base.


    However, little did Sebastian know that he was wrong this time.


    “Devin, you’ve been sitting here for a whole day. Are you all right? What on earth did you see in the


    video?” At dawn, Jake drove back to West Bank Hotel in Coldbridge. When he arrived, Devin was still


    sitting in his hotel and did not move a muscle.


    Naturally, Jake felt a bit anxious.


    To be precise, Jake was stricken with anxiety ever since they got the videotapest night, and Devin


    locked himself in the room after watching the footage.
