Luna, too, was stunned by this sudden revelation.
Never, not even in her wildest dreams, had she thought that Jim would be hiding so much from them.
It made sense why Jim, when the Landry family was going through their toughest times, had so
confidently told her that even if they went broke, he would be able to take them in.He had been
preparing for this moment for a long time.
"Jim never revealed the extent of his assets because he had been thinking of us all along..." said
Rosalyn, sighing, her head lowered as she continued wrapping gauze around Charles’ wound.
"This was why Butler Fred had taken advantage of the situation and collected so much incriminating
evidence that led us to think Jim had betrayed us..."
She let out another sigh and finally lifted her head to stare at Jim with a relieved look.
"You never disappoint, my dear son."
A surge of warmth spread through Jim's heart when he heard these.
She...called him her dear son.
Did this mean that...not only had she forgiven him, but she even took pride in him? "T want to
apologize to you, Jim."
Rosalyn sighed when she saw the delighted look on Jim's face.
"Yesterday, when I read the documents that Butler Fred gave him, I had initially been disappointed in
you.I truly believed that you'd abandon us and focus on your own career."
There was a hint of regret in Rosalyn's gentle voice.
"After all, you're not my biological son, and now that you managed to find your brother— someone that
could link you to your birth mother...
"Combined with the fact that you owned so many companies and assets outside of Landry Group, I
truly thought that..-you were going to betray us..."
As she said this, Rosalyn lifted her head to glance at Luna.
"This was why I had warned Luna not to believe you, thinking that your heart no longer belonged to the
Landry family.
"Now, I stand corrected.You...You're my son, the man I raised, and I shouldn't have doubted you in the
first place."
Rosalyn's words felt like a blow against Jim's chest.He quickly stood up, strode over to Rosalyn,
ADs'\kKM reached out to take her hands in his.
"I don't blame you, Mother.I shouldn't have hidden all this from you for so long.
"I…When you and Father returned to Merchant City, and Luna and Joshua finally resolved their
misunderstanding that Joshua stopped attacking Landry Group, I should've come clean with the truth
right then and there, but I..."
He closed his eyes as a bitter expression crept across his face.
"You know how busy I've been lately, tending to Bonnie.Bonnie's disease has been hard on me, and
I...didn't have the mental capacity to think about anything else."
Rosalyn bit her lip at the sight of Jim's pain.
"Jim, about Bonnie..."
