Selena calmly replied, “Well, my point is that this thing is actually not some ancient scroll as you think. Instead, it’s just nothing more than a book with a fancy exterior that looks like an ancient scroll. In fact, books like this can be found everywhere in Astoria, and even a three-year-old kid has no problem citing its content.”
Jane chuckled glacially and criticized Selena’s defense. “Nonsense! Who on earth is going to buy your cock and bull story?!”
Nonetheless, Selena only crouched down and seized Jameson’s shoulders. “Jamie, these people don’t seem to believe in your innocence, so you’re going to cite what you remember from the book and prove them wrong.”
After hearing his mother, Jameson nodded at Selena and proceeded to cite the ancient scroll’s content, but no one seemed to understand a single word the boy was uttering, including Jane. After all, she barely knew anything about the ancient scroll, despite being an Astorian culture lover.
“Alright! Cut it out! We don’t understand a single word you’re babbling!” Jane impatiently interrupted. “Why are we wasting time here? I should probably just call the police and have them start an investigation right away!”
At that moment, Jason came into everyone’s sight and volunteered to mediate the dispute, thinking that he should be able to help since he was also Astorian. “All of you may not understand, but I know what he is citing.” The man’s appearance instantly filled the atmosphere with an oppressive silence.
“Jason!” Jane desperately turned her attention to Jason, but the man didn’t even bother to meet her gaze, only stretching out his hand to Jameson. “May I take a look at the book?”
Jason looked at his mother for a second while Selena nodded back at him. Then, he handed the book over to Jason, who soon flipped the book open. “Perhaps you could start citing the content from page three onward.”
Upon hearing what the man told him, Jameson calmly cited the content from the book without missing any detail.
