"She... Wanted you not to hate me."
Jay paused. "What did you do?"
A bitter smile flashed across Jack’s face.
Since when had he done her wrong? However, he still had to shoulder the blame.
"She thought that I loved someone else. She thought I loved your stepmother."
Jay said coldly, "Wasn’t that the case?"
Jay was Jack's legitimate son.
However, Jay was not the son of Jack's wife. Instead, h e was the son of Jack and some other woman. As such, Jay promptly thought that he had made a fundamental mistake.
Jack paled as he gave his explanation, "Jay, I love your mother, but I didn't have the ability to marry her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let her suffer... Not even one bit."
"You treated her that way, but my maternal grandparents and family simply sat aside and watched?"
Jack thought to himself that this son of his would not be that easily convinced. If not for the ample time he had to construct this lie, he would have crumbled
beneath Jay's interrogation.
"If your maternal grandparents had status and power, how could your mother not enter the Ares family?”
Jay breathed a sigh of agony. "It's all in the past."
Hearing this, Jack breathed a sigh of relief.
When the workers came downstairs, Jack scolded with rage, "Who took it down?”
