"Hahaha! You ugly little thing! You came to cause trouble again." At that moment, Aino, who was lying in her mother’s arms, burst out laughing.
The person who barged in was none other than Selene Lynn.
The white bandages were still wrapped around her head, and she looked like a clown indeed. Moreover, she was so stick-thin, without a hint of color or life in her cheeks.
Aino's words were true. She looked like a mixture of a ghost and a clown.
However, Selene did not care whether Aino addressed her as a clown or a ghost at that moment.
All she wanted was to make sure Sebastian would not really kill her and would even send her safely home to South City.
Her grandfather called her earlier and confirmed this. Selene was delighted. She ignored Aino's taunts and only looked at Sebastian with a face full of gleeful satisfaction.
Sebastian raised his head and threw a glance at her, then said coolly to the hired soldier standing guard," Throw this woman out. If you see her coming in again, break her limbs first."
Selene said, "Master Sebastian...you..." "I promised Old Master Shaw that I would allow the three of you to return to South City alive, but I didn't promise you would return with all your limbs attached, or not as a cripple or paralyzed."
"I'll go...I'll get out of here immediately..." Selene burst into tears with fear and scrambled out of the room as fast as she could.
"Hehehe, hahaha... That ugly little thing almost wet her pants."
Minerva, who was behind Aino, started laughing when she saw Aino laughed. Her flat nose and large nostrils widened even further when she laughed. She was even laughing in Aino's direction.
Aino laughed even harder.
He then looked at Sebastian like a loyal little lap dog and forced a bitter laugh out of his lips, "Master...
Master Sebastian, you see. We are already your prisoners. Can you please, spare our lives and leave us to our own lives? Please?"
Sebastian was silent.
Noticing his continued silence, Harry continued," Master Sebastian, everything that happened 50 years ago, I... Although I was only a child, I still know what happened, back then... Back then, we really didn't intend to snatch the foundation that you’ve built all these years. There was someone adding fuel to the flames."
Sebastian was no longer interested in finding out about what happened 50 years ago. It was meaningless to him. Firstly, it was because his mother's family had all died horrible deaths. His mother was even six feet under. However, she was buried with her family so at least, they were already reunited in their deaths which fulfiled one of his wishes.
Sebastian did not need to ask Harry. He could guess what happened 50 years ago. The Ford family must have grown too powerful and brought wealth and prosperity to the entire island. They then wanted to rule the island alone.
