Upon hearing this, Angelia couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.
She thought that Jonathan might not be Jennie's child, but she didn't expect his mother to be Jennie's cousin!
It seemed that Jennie only agreed with Miller's proposal, but in order to keep her position, she also made his cousin live in an abyss of misery.
Jonathan didn't seem to notice Angelia's shock, and went on.
"In the beginning, my mother was just a servant at their home. My mother didn't know the transaction between them. Until that night, Jennie directly helped the drunken Thomson into my mother’s bedroom..."
Speaking of this, he slowly clenched his hands, and the muscles of his arms tightened.
"Later my mother wanted to leave Miller family, but was locked up by Jennie and Thomson... in the basement where there was no sunshine all day long. Soon, she was pregnant."
"Jonathan, stop talking..."
Angelia raised her hand and placed it on the back of Jonathan's hand.
Even if she didn't see him, she could feel Jonathan's pain.
Jonathan didn't want to stop.
"Thomson and Jennie are very happy. They asked people to wrap all the sharp corners in the room with soft cloth, weld the windows with railings, and took away all the sharp objects. They even locked her on the bed."
Jonathan slowly said, "I was taken away when I was born. I always thought Jennie was my mother. It wasn't until three years later that Jennie was pregnant, and I was thrown back into the basement. Then I knew the truth."
Angelia dropped her head and her eyes filled with tears.
She wanted Jonathan to stop, but she couldn't speak.
Jonathan didn't realize it.
"I lived in the basement for eight years, and then Thomson finally felt a little guilty and let us out."
He let out a sneer and looked seemingly disdainful.
But then Jonathan's tone became more sad.
"But when we lived outside for a year, the elders of the Miller family came to find us. I watched them..."
Jonathan frowned, stopped, and didn't continue.
Angelia could hardly withstand the painful twists and turns in this story, even her eyes were blurred by tears.
Jonathan took a deep breath, his tone gradually becoming flat.
"I lived outside for two months, but Thomson quietly took me back and hid me until I grew up and quietly established the M.I Group, and I was strong enough to compete with them."
"Later I learned that all the things my mother left were taken away by Jennie."
Speaking of this, he took out a small sky blue box from behind.
Jonathan turned his head slightly and kissed Angelia's earlobe.
"Jennie threatened me and let me marry you. I agreed and exchanged part of my mother's belongings."
Angelia was shocked!
No wonder.
No wonder Jonathan was so angry, no wonder he regarded her as an enemy.
There was a tearing pain in Angelia's heart.
She blinked and tears rolled down her eyes.
"Sorry…"
Jonathan smiled slightly, opened the box in his hand, and a silver necklace appeared in front of her eyes.
Angelia was very familiar with it. This was the photo necklace she helped Jonathan repair before.
It was damaged because of her, and she repaired it again.
Jonathan took the necklace out, smoothed away Angelia's hair, and wore it around her neck.
"This is her favorite necklace."
Angelia was already in tears. She lowered her head and opened the pendant of the necklace.
There originally was nothing in the hollow heart-shaped pendant, but now there was a picture.
It was a photo of the two of them.
Jonathan hugged her from behind.
"I am different from others, I am afraid of losing. I even want to tie you up with a chain, I want to put you in my eyes."
"But I dare not. I'm afraid you will hate me and blame me. I can only give you this necklace."
