Sera and Sydney looked at each other with panic on their faces. However, they quickly recovered their calmness because they concluded that the boy knew nothing about the truth.
Jay fixed his gaze at the youngster. "Since you said that they're lying, then do you have any evidence?"
Sydney sneered and said, "Jay, he's just a child of unknown origin. How would he know anything about you and Rose?"
Jay looked at the suddenly silent young man, his sexy lips curling into a self-deprecating smile.
He wanted so badly to excuse Angeline from all the blame. Even if it was a vague remark, he tried to grab onto it and place all his hopes on it.
Just when Jay almost believed that the youngster was merely stirring up trouble, the boy continued, "It's true that Rose Loyle was an idiot. It's also true that you married Rose Loyle. However..."
The young boy paused slightly.
Sera thought that the young man had no valuable information. She felt that he was merely around to cause a ruckus, so she unhappily exclaimed, "Kiddo, don't interrupt us if you can’t say it out loud."
Jay scoffed at Sera angrily. "You shut your mouth.”
Sera was utterly shocked by his deterrence.
Jay dragged his weary body and walked toward the youngster. Then, he squatted and asked, "What do you know?"
The young man suddenly muttered, "Forget it. You wouldn’t believe me even if I tell you."
Jay blurted out, "I'll believe you."
The boy was stunned for quite some time. He raised his gaze to look at Jay. "You want to believe that Angeline will never do anything to hurt you, right? Shouldn’t you respect your own wishes?"
Jay retorted, "I want evidence.”
Sydney disrupted them, saying, "Kiddo, Angeline has destroyed three lives with her hands. How can you tell my brother-in-law to respect his intuition? One's intuition can also be wrong. Evidence is always the cold-hard truth."
The young man continued, "You weren't planning on marrying Rose back then. Who you really wanted to marry was your deceased lover, Angeline Severe. It was a posthumous marriage.”
Jay turned rock solid by the news.
