At the gate of the mansion, Tobias could not wait any longer.
He looked at Simon. "Simon, ten minutes have passed. I'm going in."
A look of helplessness flashed in Simon's eyes. Moments later, he nodded. "Tobias, let's go. I'll go in together with you."
As soon as they entered, both of them were stunned.
They saw Jack standing in front of Remington, his every word as sharp as a blade. Remington's demeanor, which was almost as imposing as Jack's, suddenly disappeared in an instant.
Jack, on the other hand, kept on asking questions, making Remington unable to retreat. "Remington, what do you have to say for yourself about what you've done?"
"You kidnapped Natalie at their wedding and locked her up. You even used Natalie to drug Tobias. Don't you know that Natalie is also suffering when Tobias is in pain?"
"Do you think that Tobias is the only one suffering from the pain in his chest? Do you think that Natalie won't feel the pain?"
"If Tobias can't bear the pain anymore and his heart explodes, do you think Natalie will still live alone in this world without him? When the time comes, you will be the one pushing Natalie to her death. Do you still dare to say that you love Natalie? Remington, answer me!"
"If love is what you think it is, then over half of the population in this world would be dead!"
Remington's face became even paler, and his hands were trembling.
Meanwhile, Simon's eyes suddenly lit up.
Hope surged in Simon's heart.
He thought that they had already reached a dead end. He didn't expect that Jack would be able to persuade Remington!
He didn't know what Jack had said to Remington before, but Remington was in a state where his heart was obviously shaken up!
Now, there was only one final step left.
Simon stepped forward and said, "Remington, Jack is right. Your feelings aren't love, and even your mother's feelings weren't love either."
Remington lifted his head and stared at Simon.
A look of sympathy flashed across Simon's eyes. "Remington, I sympathize and am sorry for what has happened to your mother, but I hope you can understand that what you're doing is wrong. Your mother was also wrong. The reason for her death was not because of love, but her jealousy."
"Since Mr. Whitlock fell in love with Madam Lawson, your mother was dissatisfied and jealous over it. This was the reason why she suffered. It wasn't because of her love for Mr. Whitlock."
"If she really loved Mr. Whitlock, how could she spend her 20 years developing such an terrifying drug? She even tried to let her son drug his own father. Remington, wake up. Your mother spent half of her life living in jealousy and resentment. You can't go down the same path."
Tobias also came forward, his eyes as deep as the boundless sea. "Remington, I know you have a lot of grudges to settle with the Whitlock family as well as me, but I hope that you won't bring that into my relationship with Natalie. I really hope you can wake up a little."
Remington blinked a few times, completely shook.
All of a sudden, Jack walked closer to Remington, whispering in a voice that only Remington could hear. "I love Natalie too, and I understand your feelings. However, I think you also want Natalie to be happy, right? Didn't you see that the moment Tobias walked in, Natalie's eyes were literally shining? She didn't even glance at us. Remington, this is the happiness that Natalie truly wants!"
Remington turned his neck to stare at Natalie.
It was true. Jack was telling the truth.
When Natalie was looking at him, her eyes were dull and filled with pain.
However, the moment Tobias came in...
Natalie's gaze was entirely focused on Tobias. There was a faint light in her eyes filled with both longing and love.
Remington's heart suddenly felt like a wall that had just been hit by an enormous amount of impact and was crumbling, bit by bit.
It turned out that everything was in vain.
It turned out that everything he did was wrong.
Both he and his mother were wrong.
Love was letting go, rather than owning them.
Remington's lips suddenly twitched.
After a while, he looked at Natalie. "Natalie, I will give you the antidote."
Natalie's eyes flashed with incredulity, looking at Remington.
