At the Proctor Group.Jameson got out of the meeting room.
Jacob Green immediately came over, saying, "Mr.Proctor, something happened!"
"Sharon?" Jameson froze.
"Yes....but not exactly..."
"Can you just spit it out?"
"Madam and her brother Ruben went to Josh Allyson's house.And they.....they found....."
"Are you gonna Say it or not?" Jameson became impatient.
It was not that he couldn't say it; it was just that after living 30 years in this world and working alongside
Jameson Proctor, he could definitely be called a man of rich experiences--but what happened this time
was even beyond him, that it was still sending chills down his spine.
"Mr.Proctor" said Jacob Green quietly, "Madam's mother was found."
"Found where?"
"In Josh Allyson’s apartment..." Jameson was stunned.
"Are you sure?"
Jacob nodded, "We got the news from that side.Daniel was there as well.So we can be quite certain."
Jameson narrowed his dark eyes, paused for a few seconds, and then ordered, "Postpone everything
else.I need to take a trip."
"Understood."
After getting in the car, Jameson asked, "What's the situation there now?"
"Do you mean Patrick Matthias's side or Miss Allyson's?"
"Both."
"Well, as of the moment, Madam hasn't called the police yet, probably stopped by Daniel.After all, if the
situation escalates, it will be against everyone's interest.And if Tavis Beale is to learn the news, no one
will know what to expect.
"As for Patrick Matthias, he should've heard about it from Daniel.But we have no idea yet what they
plan to do next.Should we ask them, Mr.Proctor?"
Jameson's lips lightly pursed.He replied after a while, "There's no need.We'll wait and see."
Daniel hadn't come back yet after he went out for a call.
Neither had Ruben.
Sharon sat on the sofa, looking blankly outside the window, meditating on something.
After a long while, the sound of footsteps came from the door.
Tiffany got up immediately, wanting to say something.
But it was Jameson who came.
That would do, too.
It was less scary here now with his presence.
Wanting to leave them alone, Tiffany got out with the excuse of looking for Daniel.
Jameson sat down beside Sharon and reached out a hand on her shoulder, speaking softly, "Don't
worry.I'm here.It'll be alright."
Sharon retracted her glance from outside and turned towards him in awe.
"Why are you here? I thought you had something to do today," said Sharon.
"Nothing's more important than you are."
Sharon unconsciously grabbed his shirt hard, murmuring, "How did it become like this....."
Jameson hugged her.He couldn't find the right words to say.
Sharon and Ruben had lived here for almost twenty years.
During those countless days and nights, never had they ever imagined that they were living with a
corpse--then a skeleton--only one wall apart.
And the skeleton was none other than their mother.
Jameson patted her softly on the back, comforting her silently.
The sound of footsteps came once more from the entrance.
It was loud and messy.
Sharon lifted her head and saw that a man was thrown inside.
It was Josh Allyson.
He seemed to have got used to it as he got up as a matter of course and smoothly patted off the dust
on his body.He saw that the closet and the wall behind it were completely destroyed.He was enraged.
Holding the broken leg, he stumbled over and shouted, "Who did this!? Who tore my fu*king house
down! Police! I'll call the police!"
Ruben came in after him and said in a cold voice, "I did it."
Josh Allyson, in an instant, rushed to him and grabbed his collar.
"You ba*tard! I should've put you to sleep the moment you were born.What a waste of my time bringing
you up! You ungrateful son of a bi*ch!"
Josh was pulled away before he could finish, but insults were still coming out of his mouth nonstop.
Sharon walked to him, looking at him indifferently, "You wanna call the police? Ok, do it now.DO IT! I
am curious to know what your sentence will be for hiding a corpse inside a wall for so many years!"
Josh spat on the floor and cursed, "What the he*l do you know? She was my woman; I can bury her
wherever the f**k I want! What law did I break, huh? I....."
Seeing Jameson come next to her, Josh Allyson became hesitant.
But at this point, when everything was exposed already, he stopped caring anymore.
"People die, and we bury them.That's how things are! Why can't I bury her here? It's my house-I'm not
using others’ space--So why the f**k not!?"
Sharon never expected to learn any helpful information from his mouth anymore.She just felt that her
whole body was turning weak, and things before her were turning dimmer and dimmer.She wanted to
hold Jameson but couldn't feel her arms; she tried to speak, but her throat wouldn't let her.
Before she lost her consciousness, she fell into a warm and reliable chest.
It was as if many people were calling her, yet nothing could she hear.
In front of her.....
Only darkness.....
In the hospital.
Jacob Green took a look at the patient and said softly, "Mr.Proctor, the cops are gone."
"The corpse?"
"Sent to the coroner.After the death cause is examined, we will prepare the funeral affairs."
"He hasn't shown up yet?"
"No, not yet," Jacob shook his head.
"Alright, leave us."
After Jacob had left, Jameson turned back to Sharon and held her hand.
She seemed to feel it as she fluttered her eyelashes and then slowly opened her eyes.
"I'm in the hospital?" asked Sharon after finally re-focusing her scattered vision.
"Yeah.You passed out.How you feeling now?"
Sharon sat up.
"Still a little dizzy......Where's Ruben?"
"He went to the police station."
Sharon was a little surprised, "Is anyone with him?"
"Daniel and Tiffany--they are both there."
Sharon let out a breath of relief, "Okay."
"Don't worry about him.You're the one lying in bed right now."
"It must be really hard for him to accept......"
"It is hard for him.Is it easy for you, though?"
He scanned the ward and continued, "to get over this?"
