Chapter 65: Hit the Nail on the Head
Sharon pursed her lips.She did not say anything.
She did not understand, but she did not care about the affairs of the Proctor family.
Jeffery continued, "Jameson may haven't told you this.He and I are half-brothers."
Sharon was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond to that.
"My father had him with another woman."
Jeffery turned his wheelchair around and said, "I was ten years old when I had a car accident.That accident disabled my legs.I can't stand up again in my life.But the Proctors need an heir.So my father took Jameson back.He was only seven years old at that time.My mother always felt that Jameson had taken what should be mine.So she dislikes Jameson."
Jeffery smiled and said, "Although we shouldn't blame Jameson for the car accident, my mother tends to go extreme.I can only try to reconcile them.In addition, since Jameson took over the company, the Proctor Group has developed rapidly in his hands.
Because of this, even my father is wary of him.
This is also why they are so anxious to let Erica and Martin get engaged.
They wanted to use the power of the Morton family to slowly transfer the shares in Jameson's hands.
Although Jeffery's words were obscure, Sharon understood his meaning.
Jameson was the illegitimate son of the Proctor family.
He did not have a good time in his family.
On the surface, he appeared to be the powerful CEO of the Proctor Group.
In fact, his father was afraid of losing control of him because he was too capable.
And his father wanted a new heir.
Sharon suddenly understood why Jameson's parents ignored Jameson's objections three years ago and insisted on her marrying into the Proctor family.
What they wanted was the child in her belly.
Subconsciously, Sharon placed her hand on her belly.
Cold sweat began to trickle down her back.
No wonder Jameson refused to have a child.
If the Proctors knew about this child's existence, they would do anything they could to...
Jeffery continued, "I watched Jameson grow up.Although he is aloof and often says harsh words, he doesn't have the sinister and underhanded ways of this circle.He is surrounded by cruel things, but he always knows what he wants."
"Jameson assumes the worst of people.It perhaps had something to do with what he grew up with.So, most of the time, even though he really cares about someone, he will not show his care with his words.Sometimes, you shouldn't listen to what he says but see what he does.And what he does shows his real character."
Sharon wanted to say that what he did was no better than what he said.
Neither of them was humane.
Jeffery may have overvalued Jameson because Jameson was his brother.
Seeing Sharon stay silent, Jeffery added, "I know that I should not be the one to tell you this, but Jameson will never say it himself.I don't want you to misunderstand him.I don't want such misunderstanding to lead to a conflict between you..." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Sharon smiled and said, "Mr.Proctor, I know what you mean.You trust me and told me all the secrets of the Proctors.I am very grateful.However, Jameson and I are divorced.
How he really is has nothing to do with me.
But don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what you said today.
Your secrets are safe with me: "The maid said you are here.You..."
Before Evie finished her words, she saw Sharon behind Jeffery, and her expression instantly turned cold.
"Mrs.Proctor, Sharon said.Evie glanced at Jeffery and then looked at her, "It seems you have made your decision."
"Mrs.Proctor, last time, I have said that Martin and I are not in the kind of relationship you imagined.And I can't interfere in the marriage between him and Erica."
Just as Sharon was about to take out the letter, Jeffery suddenly said, "Sharon, Jameson didn't give you anything when you divorced.Take this money as compensation from the Proctors."
Hearing what he said, Sharon felt her face burning.
"No..." Sharon immediately refused him.
However, it was still late.
"So that's why you're here today.’ Behind Sharon, Jameson's voice was cold and mocking.
"..Sharon.
Obviously, Evie didn't want to see Jameson.
As soon as he came here, she turned around and left.
Jeffery sighed, "Jameson, you misunderstood her.Sharon didn't come here for money.I am the one who asked her to accept that."
Jameson stood there straightly.
He said in a cold tone, "You don't have to explain for her.I can't be clearer about her character."
"Jameson...Just as Jeffery was about to continue, the butler walked over and said to Jameson, "Mr.Proctor, your father wants to see you."
Before he left, Jeffery told Jameson, "Jameson, speak to Sharon with kind words.’’
For a moment, only the two of them were left in the huge garden.
Sharon turned around and pursed her lips, "Mr.Proctor.’ Jameson took a glance at her and his gaze fell on the letter in her hand.
"How much did you get this time? Is it enough to pay your debt to me?"
Sharon clenched her fingers.Her face was slightly pale.
"You're right about something.We're divorced.I don't want to see you again.You pay me back.And never show up in front of me.Jameson's tone was mind.He didn't say it sarcastically.However, his words
made Sharon feel extreme coldness.
For a while, Sharon did not say anything.
Jameson continued, "What, they didn't give you enough money? I remember you wanted half of the Proctor Group.Such a small sum of money can't satisfy you, right?"
After some time, Sharon said peacefully, "Mr.Proctor, you're thinking too much.Mrs.Proctor wants me to leave Martin.So she gives me this money.It has nothing to do with you."
Jameson, "..."
If you were going to hurt someone, just hit the nail on the head.
Clearly, Sharon knew how to hurt Jameson's ego.
Sure enough, Jameson's expression instantly turned frighteningly cold.
Sharon felt coldness surrounded him.Sharon experienced some nausea.
She did not want to continue the stalemate with him.She placed the letter on the tea table beside her.
"I left it here.You can do whatever you want.Tell others I took the money.Anyway, you guys always like to judge others based on what you think."
Just as Sharon took a step forward, she heard Jameson's cold voice, "Does your brother know you treat money like dirt?"
Sharon stopped and turned to him, "What do you mean?"
Jameson curled his lips and said, "Have a guess."
What the he*l!
