Rory said, “Okay. I’ll get it now.” 

Only after Rory left did Javier dare to reveal his vulnerability. He slumped down. Guilt and pain swept over him like a storm, tormenting him in unspeakable ways. 

At this moment, his mind was chaotic, filled with various voices. 

“I don’t know when it started, but I’ve become someone who can’t be separated from you.” 

“Every morning, the first thing she thinks about is how she should die. But when she thinks of Jasper, she can’t bear to leave her young son like that.” 

“Even if my mother once loved you, the moment she leaped from Seaview Manor’s balcony, she no longer does.” 

Javier opened his eyes abruptly, his heart pounding uncontrollably. 

Just then, Rory returned with a glass of warm water. 

“Rory, how much do you remember about Anne’s situation 20 years ago?” 

Rory was startled for a second, then replied, “I have a good memory. Didn’t you choose me as your secretary because of that? If you have any questions, just ask.”

Javier’s expression changed at those words. He suddenly looked Rory directly in the eyes, a buzzing sound ringing in his ears.

It wasn’t the time yet. Jasper wanted to expose the woman in a more cruel and dramatic way. He wanted Javier to know how malicious the woman he had cherished for two decades was.
