Jameson said, "Answer me first."
Sharon frowned and said a few seconds later, "When Josh died, I found something in the box under his bed."
"What are inside?"
"A few photos, a pocket watch, and Josh's diary."
"What kind of pocket watch?"
Sharon said, "It's just an ordinary pocket watch.Should there be any difference?"
"Of course there's a difference.The manufacturer and batch number are useful clues." Jameson said.
Hearing this, Sharon parted her lips but didn't say anything.
Jameson stared at her for a few seconds and pursed his lips.
"Don't you want to find the truth?"
After a while, Sharon looked down and said, "I just feel it meaningless."
"Sharon, this is not about if it is meaningful or not.It's about that you should know the truth."
"What's the point in knowing the truth? I just want to live a peaceful life."
This was Sharon's greatest wish ever since she could remember.
In the past, Josh messed up the family.
Creditors occasionally came, shouting and swearing outside.
She could only lock the door tightly and hug Ruben in her arms, not daring to make a sound.
Later she met Jameson, who made her messy life even worse.
She was unfamiliar with that man and had no memories of him.
Rather than investigating why her mother married Josh twenty years ago, she preferred living in peace.

Jameson said, "This is not an excuse for you to escape.Although sometimes the truth is crueler than reality, I will always be by
your side."
Sharon was slightly surprised.
Could this jerk not change the subject so abruptly? Jameson continued, "Even if you don't care about what the truth is, a series

of things have already happened consequently.How can those who are involved be able to detach themselves from this?"
"I don't understand what Mr.Proctor means.’
"Did you see Talon today?"
Sharon did not know why he suddenly mentioned Natalia’s father.
After a pause, she said, "Yes."
Jameson said, "Have you ever thought about why Ruben didn't hear anything after sending out so many fliers?"
Sharon frowned and was even more confused.
Previously, when Ruben was about to do this, she had never thought that there would be any news.
Hearing what Jameson had said, it seemed that there was indeed something strange.
After thinking for a while, she didn't answer but asked, "Mr.Proctor hasn't told me how you knew that?"
Jameson tapped his knee with his fingers, "I have told you that there's nothing in this world that money can't do."
"Then I have nothing to say to Mr.Proctor.Goodbye."
Just as Sharon got up, Jameson grabbed her hand and laughed, "Alright, I tell you.I discovered it while investigating Talon."
Seeing Sharon's confused face, Jameson added, "The truth of the matter may not mean much to you, but you must know what
happened in the past in order to be prepared for the unknown future."
"...Mr.Proctor, can you speak in a simple way?"
She wanted to know what Talon had to do with this matter..

Jameson said, "I don't know why Talon did this, but I am certain that he knew your real father, which is the man in the flier and
that he has been trying to stop the news from spreading.He doesn't want you to find your father."
Hearing this, Sharon frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.
She had a vague impression of Natalia’s father, who seemed to be a gentle and calm person.
Sharon really could not associate him with this matter related to her father.
Jameson said, "You don't need to think deeper.I'm just telling you this to get you prepared in case you walk into other people's
traps."
Hearing his words, Sharon was unhappy, "When did I walk into a trap?"
"While knowing nothing about what's going on tonight, you still went with Trey."

"But I'm totally fine.Besides, even if I didn't go with Trey, Mr.Proctor would let me go with you.Would there be any difference?"
"Of course." Jameson said.
"What is the difference?" Sharon sneered.
Jameson suddenly smiled, "Sharon, do you know why Talon is only stopping you from looking for your real father but did not
attack you?"
"That's because he knows that I am by your side.He doesn't dare to hurt you.’ Sharon didn't know what to say.
Since when did the jerk become her backer? Before she could reply, Jameson continued, "Think about it.After so many years,
Talon had never thought of letting Natalia marry Jeffery.Why did he suddenly change his mind? What is he afraid of?"
Sharon hadn't figured out what he meant just now and he had changed the subject to the marriage between Natalia and Jeffery.
After a moment of silence, she answered, "Perhaps he doesn't like you."
Jameson didn't know what to say.
"I'm very serious,’ he said.

"Then tell me directly.Don't beat around the bush."
How could she guess that? Jameson pursed his lips and said, "I'll tell you when he proposed.It was after Ruben put the ad in the
paper."
"Are you saying that this matter has something to do with me?"
"In other words, your appearance scared him."
As for why he was afraid, only Talon knew what he had done.
Sharon's heart sank.
She knew what Jameson meant now.
Talon knew her real father and it was very likely that something had happened between them.
Therefore, when he saw Ruben look for her father with the photo, he was reminded of something from the past.
What he was afraid of was not her, but her father, or rather, the truth from twenty years ago.
That was why he offered an olive branch to the Proctor family, wishing to bind the Beale family and the Proctor family together.
Jameson's gaze fell on the hand that he held.
He gently stroked her hand and said, "Are you still not interested in the truth?"
Sharon slowly came to her senses and looked down at him.
Then, she quickly pulled out her hand and said, "Thank you, Mr.Proctor, for telling me this.I'm very interested now.I wish I could
rush to the Beale'’s and ask her father what he had done back then."
Jameson turned speechless.
