As soon as he finished speaking, Sharon came down the stairs.
She smiled and said, "Mr.Jones.’
Mr.Jones waved at her, "Come here and sit down."
Sharon walked over and sat beside him.
"When did you come over? I wanted to pick you up, but I was also afraid that I might disturb you."
Mr.Jones smiled as he stood with his walking stick.
"I just arrived here a few minutes ago."
"We almost came at the same time."
As Mr.Jones spoke, his gaze fell on Sharon's clothes and he was puzzled.
"Why are you covered in dust?"
Hearing this, Talon paused as he picked up the teacup.
"Nothing” Sharon said.
"Miss Beale was just joking.I haven't changed my clothes yet."
Mr.Jones frowned and looked at Talon, "What kind of joke?"
Talon laughed and explained, "Natalia is just a kid.I've blamed her."
Seeing that Talon didn't want to tell the truth, Mr.Jones looked at the servants standing behind him and
said sternly, "You tell me!"
"It's ...Well..."
A servant hesitated for a long time, but did not dare to speak.
Mr.Jones forcefully poked the ground with his cane and said angrily, "What did I tell you just now?
You've promised! But in the end, you're just temporizing!"
"You get me wrong.I promise that this will not happen again.’’ Mr.Jones looked gloomy.
He roughly guessed what had happened before he came, from the servants talking about the garbage,
as well as the dust on Sharon's body and the floating in the room.
He said, "You'd better keep your promise.Otherwise, how can you be worthy of Doris’ trust?"
At this moment, another servant came in and whispered something to Talon.
He nodded, "Bring him in."
"Who's coming?" Mr.Jones asked.
Talon said, "A business partner.You're quite experienced.Please come and meet him with me.”
"I'm old and can't see clearly.How can I help you?"
Sharon felt that it would be meaningless for her to stay here, so she prepared to take a shower, change
her clothes and go to the studio.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, Mr.Jones pressed her shoulder, signaling her not to
leave.
Mr.Jones' movement was very gentle and Talon didn't notice it at all.
Sharon understood what he meant, so she sat there and did not intend to leave.
Not long after, a person came into her sight.
It was Patrick.
Patrick stood in the living room and said a few words with Talon.
Then he looked over.
He was quite gentle and polite.
"Mr.Jones and Ms.Allyson, nice to meet you here."
Talon's gaze was calm as he slowly said, "So you know each other.’
Patrick smiled and said, "Mr.Jones and I met once abroad.After returning to the South City, I often go to
visit him.As for Ms.Allyson, I have cooperated with Mr.Proctor.Thus, we have met each other several
times."
Talon didn't want to hear the name ‘Mr.Proctor’.
He asked Patrick to take a seat and ordered the servants to prepare the tea.
Talon said, "I've heard that Mr.Patrick is also from the South City.Where exactly do you live?"
Patrick said an address.
"I have been abroad for many years, and when I came back this time, I found that the place where I
once lived had changed.It is no longer the way it used to be."
"It seems that Mr.Patrick is really nostalgic.After so many years, you still return to the South City.’’
"Actually, I'm not that nostalgic.My company intends to explore the domestic market, and the only place
I know is the South City."
It seemed that they were chatting like normal friends, but in reality, Talon was trying to find out more
about Patrick.
Actually, Talon had thoroughly investigated Patrick long before their cooperation.
So he knew that Patrick knew Mr.Jones.
He deliberately said that just now.
As for Sharon, she knew Patrick because of Jameson.
Jameson and Patrick only met each other a few times due to business.
Apart from that, they had never seen each other.
Thus, there shouldn't be any connection between Patrick and Sharon.
Talon had some doubts about the relationship between Patrick and Mr.Jones at the very beginning.
But since that Patrick had answered so straightforwardly and didn't hide anything, Talon relaxed his
vigilance.
While they were chatting, Mr.Jones would occasionally say a few words, but Sharon was silent and sat
still.
She looked down and tried to remove the hair stuck in her pants when she cleaned up the garbage
room.
When Patrick spoke, he would occasionally look at Sharon.
He was slightly absent-minded, but just a few seconds.
When their conversation was finally over, Patrick stood up and said, "Then I'll leave."
When Sharon was lost in thoughts, she suddenly heard Patrick call her by her name.
She hurriedly stood up.
Patrick looked at her and smiled faintly, "Please give my best wishes to Mr.Proctor."
Sharon nodded, "Alright."
"I'll see you out’’ Talon said.
After they left, Sharon came back to her senses.
Mr.Jones stood with his walking stick and said, "Sharon, take a walk with me.I'll introduce you this
place.They definitely won't tell you."
Sharon supported Mr.Jones and walked in the garden.
As Mr.Jones walked, he told her about the history of this place, like what it was used for long ago.
He pointed to a few sculptures not far away.
"Your father built that for you.It was a small Disney castle and you liked it very much.There was a time
when you had to stay there every day except eating and sleeping."
As Sharon looked at the strange building, an image of a small castle flashed through her mind, but she
couldn't recall much more.
"Do you see that big tree? It was once a greenhouse, which was full of breeds that your mother
carefully cultivated.They were extremely difficult to take care of.Once, your father made your mother
angry.In order to coax her, you secretly ran to the greenhouse and picked a large handful of flowers for
her.Your mother was amused by you, but she also wanted to cry for her flowers."
Sharon was speechless.
Well, she was...She was so annoying at that time.
As Mr.Jones spoke, he sighed and said, "Everything has changed."
After a while, Sharon asked, "Has there ever been a big fire here?"
Mr.Jones said, "It was cause by the explosion.The fire almost burned up everything of this place.What
you see now is all reconstructed."
As he spoke, Mr.Jones turned around and looked at her, "Sharon, you must know that your biological
father and mother love you very much.Perhaps, someone is also quietly watching you and protecting
you, and you just don't know yet."
Before Sharon could reply, he quickly changed the topic, "By the way, where is your mother's tomb? I
want to see her.’’
"I don't know ‘’ Sharon said after hearing this.
"She died when I was very young” she added.
"I have no impression of her, and I don't even know where she's buried."
Mr.Jones sighed and asked, "Why did she die?"
