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.
