Alex looked at Sebastian in disbelief. "Sebastian, what did you say?"
"Withdraw all the search parties and leave an unobstructed route for Holden to go back," Sebastian said weakly.
"Why are you doing that, Sebastian? Do you not believe that we can turn the whole South City upside down and flatten if you and I join forces? Or you...." Alex asked.
He wanted to ask Sebastian how could he be so unconcerned about Aino's life and death? However, before Alex could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Zayn.
Zayn suddenly bellowed. "Sebastian Ford! Are you human? Aino is your daughter! Your daughter! You're just going to let that pervert, Holden Payne, take her away like that?"
"My Uncle Holden is not a pervert," Minerva mumbled softly.
"Minerva, don't say anything." Nigel immediately stopped her. Minerva bit her lips.
Zayn was still shouting. "Sebastian Ford! You can choose not to save Aino! I'll do it! I will exhaust all of the Smith Group’s assets and all my efforts in searching and rescuing Aino! I won't even use a single
penny of your money! You're a beast! Cold-blooded! You don't deserve to be a father!" After saying that, Zayn suddenly bellowed at Sabrina, "Sabrina! Come with me!"
Sabrina was speechless.
"At that time, I was not an existence that was recognized by the Ford family. My mother was in prison and I can't be sure if she will end up alive or dead. On the other end, I was locked up in an abandoned house at the top of the mountain by my few older half-brothers and some of my collateral relatives from the Ford family. At that time, it was much easier for my eldest half-brother to crush me to death than if I wanted to crush Holden to death now. However, what was the reality? The reality was that I turned the tide and won. I purged those brothers of mine, and I took charge of the Ford Group overnight. D o you know what was one of my winning formulas?"
Sebastian asked everyone present with a faint tone. Just like Sabrina, his voice also became hoarse. Nobody said a single word. However, most of them already knew what Sebastian's winning formula was.
Sebastian continued. "It’s not valuing my life. I already don't care if I lose my life. I don’t know if my mother was alive or dead in prison. I had no way out anymore. I only had two paths to choose from. Either to die with my mother or to win. It did not matter to me either way. Therefore, I ended up winning in the end. Holden is my twin brother. Although we've never communicated peacefully, I just knew him like I knew myself. When I don't care if I lose my life, I can be invincible. It's the same for him when he doesn't value his life."
Everyone sighed after they heard Sebastian explained it like that. Zayn hung his head.
