When they arrived at the restaurant, another servant walked in and whispered something in Mr.Jones'
ear.
Mr.Jones nodded, "Ask him in."
After saying that, Mr.Jones looked at Sharon and Trey, giving them a smile, "There's another
guest.Wait a moment."
A few minutes later, a man led by that servant walked in.
Seeing him, Sharon was a little surprised, "Mr.Patrick?"
Patrick looked over at her and nodded, "Ms.Allyson, long time no see."
Mr.Jones said, "Do you know each other?"
Sharon wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.
Patrick chuckled and helped her explain, "I met Ms.Allyson once before."
"Well, what a coincidence."
After that, Mr.Jones introduced Patrick and Trey to each other.
Patrick said, "Mr.Coe, I heard a lot about you before I came to the South City.You look really capable
and promising."
Trey shook his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr.Patrick."
Mr.Jones smiled and said, "Well, don't stand there.Sit down, please."
As soon as they sat down, the servant hurried in and whispered something in Mr.Jones’ ear.
Hearing this, Mr.Jones was amazed, "Why did he come?"
Patrick said, "It should be my guest."
Mr.Jones nodded and gestured to his servant.
As they began to talk, Patrick looked at Sharon guiltily, "Ms.Allyson, I'm sorry.I didn't know you were
here today."
Trey stood beside them and frowned, but he didn't say anything.
Sharon was stunned.
Then, she realized who the comer was before Patrick could tell her.
It seemed it was never easy to escape one's destiny.
She pursed her lips and forced a smile, "Well, it's fine."
She didn't know what else to say.
Jameson also didn't expect Sharon to be here.
Therefore, when he walked in the room, he stared at her for a few seconds.
Sharon felt somewhat uncomfortable, so she picked up a glass of water to cover the awkward moment.
After a brief greeting, Jameson sat opposite Sharon, but Sharon couldn't tell anything from his
handsome face.
Mr.Jones said, "It's the first time I have had so many guests here, so I am very honored.Since everyone
knows each other, we don't need to say anything else.Let's eat now."
Patrick picked up his glass and said, "Mr.Jones, I come without invitation, so I am sorry to interrupt you
today."
"Don't be silly.I've told you to make yourself at home, so you can come whenever you want."
Jameson said indifferently, "I didn't expect Mr.Patrick and Mr.Jones to know each other."
Patrick smiled and said, "When Mr.Jones was attending a seminar abroad, I had the privilege of
meeting him."
Mr.Jones nodded, "Yes, at that time, I had a sense of familiarity when I met Patrick.Later on, he told me
he was also from the South City."
Hearing this, Patrick gave a faint smile and did not say anything else.
Jameson added, "I heard the Rowlands had been pestering Mr.Coe recently, and they even came
here.Have you settled it?"
Mr.Jones’ face darkened when he heard this.
He knew this is why Jameson came today.
Trey said, "It's already settled.Mr.Proctor, you needn't worry about it."
Jameson sneered with a meaningful smile, "It seems Mr.Coe has contributed a lot to this."
"I just did what I should do."
Mr.Jones coughed and said, "Now that it has been settled, we don't need to talk about it.It's also a
family dinner today, so let's talk about other things."
Just as Mr.Jones finished speaking, Jameson continued, "Since Mr.Jones said it was a family dinner,
Mr.Coe, can I ask you something personal?"
Trey looked Jameson in the eye and said, "What do you want to know?"
Apart from Sharon, even Patrick and Mr.Jones could sense a lot of hostility.
It seemed Trey and Jameson were about to fight with each other.
Jameson said calmly, "Mr.Coe is not young anymore, so it's time for you to get married."
"As for this, Mr.Proctor, it seems you are also single, so I am in no rush."
Sharon almost finished drinking all the water in her glass, but she couldn't think of any way to stop
them.
Jameson said coldly, "Mr.Coe, you'd better get married quickly, and then you won't salivate at my wife
any longer."
Hearing this, Sharon coughed.
Sharon did not expect she would choke on the last mouthful of water.
Trey, who was sitting beside her, was the first to realize what happened.
He raised his hand and patted her on the back, "Sharon, are you alright?"
Sharon shook her head and said at once, "I want to go to the bathroom..."
Trey stood up and said, "You haven't been here before.I'll take you there."
Just as they were about to leave the dining room, Jameson also stood up and followed them.
Trey turned around and said, "Mr.Proctor, what are you going to do?"
"l also want to go to the bathroom.Mr.Coe, please lead the way."
After they left, Mr.Jones was a little confused, and asked, "Jameson and Ms.Allyson are..."
Patrick said, "Mr.Proctor and Ms.Allyson have just divorced."
Hearing this, Mr.Jones finally realized what was going on.
No wonder Jameson said those words to Trey just now.
After a while, when confirming that they were far away, Mr.Jones said in a deep voice, "You said you
would come back after the festival.But why do you come back so soon?"
Patrick poured himself a cup of tea and said slowly, "The Beales have been restless recently.If we want
to defeat them, there has never been a better time."
Mr.Jones had also heard a little about what happened between the Beales and the Proctors.
"Is that why you brought Jameson here?"
Patrick smiled and said, "Jameson is young now.
Even if he is capable, the Beales have been powerful and well-connected over the years.Therefore,
Jameson can't fight against them on his own."
"So you want to take advantage of Jameson to kill..."
Before Mr.Jones finished his sentence, he got what Patrick implied.
Currently, Jameson was at odds with the Beales, so it was the best way to take advantage of Jameson.
Moreover, nobody would suspect Patrick.
Mr.Jones was still a little confused, so he asked, "But I don't understand why Jameson's ex-wife is
involved in this.I've heard some rumors about her before.She's a pitiful girl."
Patrick poured some more tea into the cup, saying, "To be honest, I can't even know Jameson well.He
is young, but he deters both the Beales and the Proctors.They even cooperate to deal with him."
Mr.Jones sighed, "Anyone else will pale when compared with Jameson.However, the Proctors are
stupid enough to treat him as a basta*d.Ever since he was brought back to the Proctor's, the Rowlands
must have done a lot to harm him.Perhaps that's why he is what he is today."
After all, those who survive against adversity were much shrewder and wiser than others.
