Patrick poured a glass of water for Jameson and sat opposite him.
"Mr.Proctor, why did you come back with Mathew?" He asked.
Jameson crossed his legs and lightly tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa.
"I think you should ask him this question." he said calmly.
Patrick turned around and looked at Mathew leaning on the doorframe.
The latter shrank back and closed the door tightly.
"Mr.Proctor, if Mathew has offended you, I apologize to you.He..." he said gently.
"You don't have to apologize."
Jameson said coldly, "He went to see Sharon."
Hearing this, Patrick was surprised.He probably hasn't expected such a situation.
Then, he became serious as he thought about something.
Jameson continued, "If this child stays by your side, he will be a time bomb.If he can find Sharon today, then he can also find Talon tomorrow.If he implicates Sharon, will you still think it doesn't matter?"
Patrick pursed his lips and said after a while, "Mr.Proctor, don't worry.I promise that this wont happen again."
"I'm not here to seek assurance.I just want to remind you that sometimes even the slightest oversight can be fatal.You should know this better than I do."
"Mr.Proctor, I'll do as you said."
Just as Jameson was about to get up and leave, he thought of another thing and sat down again.
He raised his eyebrows, "I have a question for you."
Patrick said, "I'm all ears."
Jameson said, "Mr.Matthias, I know you have just returned to the South City after so many years, and it's normal if you don't know many people here.But I think you may still remember a name."
Patrick did not answer and took a sip of water, waiting for his next words.
Jameson continued, "Can you remember Josh?"
"Who is Josh?"
Jameson smiled coldly, "Never mind.He's nothing but a swindler.Since you don't know him, please ignore my words.Anyway, I don't think you will be interested in his whereabouts."
Patrick didn't replied.
Before Jameson walked out of the door, Patrick said, "Mr.Proctor, tell me if you need any help."
"Mr.Patrick, I'll go on a business trip to Italy tomorrow.Please help me take care of my wife."
After Jameson left, Mathew came out of the room.
He lowered his head all the way, as if he knew that he had done something wrong.
He whispered, "Mr.Matthias, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Patrick crouched down in front of him and stroked his head.
"It's okay.This is not your fault.Mathew, I just want to know why you did this."
With tears rolling in his eyes, Mathew bit his lips.
After a while, he said in a choked voice, "I learned from the Internet that Sharon is Mr.Beale's..."
Before he finished his sentence, Patrick could guess what was on his mind.
Mathew was the son of the employee who suffered the accident in the project of the Beale Group.
The Beales had intended to get rid of Mathew and his mother.
Patrick managed to take them away, but back then, Mathew's mother had a car accident.
She was lying in the hospital and hadn't woken up yet.
Undoubtedly, this child hated the Beale Group.
Recently, in order to cover up what had happened in the past, the Beales had secretly promoted the news that Sharon had returned to the Beale family.
At this time, Tiffany had arrived as well.
She asked as she drank soybean milk, "What are they doing?"
Sharon shook her head.
A girl screamed, "My God, he's so handsome!"
When Tiffany heard that there was a handsome guy, her eyes lit up and she immediately rushed out, "Where is the handsome guy? Where is he?"
She joined the girls to peep at the next door, only to see rows of people inside.
She couldn't even see the handsome guy's hair.
Tiffany asked the girls, "How could you tell he is handsome?"
"Tiffany, it's said that this place has been changed to a piano room.The boss is a super handsome guy.Those people inside all want to enroll."
Tiffany stood on tiptoe and stretched out her neck to look inside.
Judging from a sea of people, this guy must be really handsome.
"I think it's time for me to cultivate my artistic sentiment.Maybe I should enroll too." she said.
The handsome guy inside seemed to have heard the discussion outside and slowly stood up.
When Tiffany saw his face, her interest instantly disappeared.
She hurriedly fled back to the studio as if someone was chasing her.
Sharon got a glass of water from the tea room and saw Tiffany come back.
She smiled and asked, "Didn't you go to see the handsome guy?"
Tiffany curled her lips, "Forget it.I'm really unlucky."
Before Sharon could ask her what was wrong, Daniel appeared at the door and greeted them with a smile, "Ms.Allyson, Tiffany."
Tiffany was speechless.Who had allowed him to call her name so affectionately?
