On the other end was an incredibly old and tired laugh, "Sebastian, how could you not recognize my voice?”
Sebastian could finally tell that it was Old Master Shaw on the other end.
He suddenly sat up straight, "Old man, what are you saying?!”
"I can tell you the secret of Star Island." Old Master Shaw said again.
Sebastian was speechless.
After a moment, he asked, "Did you know about it from the start?"
"Yes!" Old Master Shaw admitted it bluntly.
"Why did you not tell me sooner then? Why did you wait for me to attack this place?" Sebastian asked.
On the other end, Old Master Shaw’s voice sounded even older, "One of the reasons I didn't tell you was that I once swore to your mother and your maternal family that I would keep the secret forever."
"The other reason is that if I told you the secret back then, you would only speed up your attack on Star Island. That was why I always concealed the secret. I planned on letting it rot with me forever, never telling you, but now..."
On the other end, Old Master Shaw, who was already approaching 90, had a mournful voice, "Now, I don’t really care anymore..."
Sebastian's voice was calm.
He seemed to have guessed something, "What do you want in exchange for this secret?"
Old Master Shaw said, "Sebastian, you really are smart."
Saying that, the old man felt tears welling up in his eyes.
Old Master Shaw received a call from Selene in Star Island last night.
He thought that he would be able to receive good news, but when he answered his granddaughter's call, his granddaughter was sobbing, "Grandpa... I'm sorry grandpa, I'm sorry... I might not be able to go back to see you anymore, I’m so sorry, grandpa..."
Holden captured her, but she managed to win him over, and it allowed her to use Holden.
Not only that, the six-year-old Aino had beaten Selene until her head was full of bruises.
Who would be able to swallow such hatred?
Hence, Jade used a high price and found someone from Poole Manor to assassinate Sabrina and Aino, but it failed. 1
It was about to succeed.
However, no one expected that Nigel was on Star Island.
When did Nigel come to Star Island? No one knew!
However, Nigel had been protecting Sabrina in the dark and did it night and day.
