Chapter 20 Jameson’s Idealistic Thoughts


    Jameson tore the contract and tossed it away. The air in the room tensed up as other executives, who had juste out of the


    meeting, discreetly passed by, avoiding confrontation. As Jameson’s secretary, it was inappropriate for Joe Sedwig to simply


    leave without a word.


    He stood to the side, attempting to minimize his presence. However, no matter how inconspicuous he tried to be, he could not


    escape Jameson''s attention. Jameson nced at him and demanded, “Give


    me your phone.”


    Joe’s face turned pale as he handed over his phone. He nced at Jameson and reluctantly extended his phone. “Chairman


    Jameson.”


    Jameson took the phone without a word. Seeing that it was locked, he was about to speak when Joe, nervously, stepped forward


    and used his fingerprint to unlock it.


    Jameson''s face remained stoic as he entered Marion’s phone number on Joe’s device. This time,


    Marion answered promptly, “Hello, this is Marion.”


    “It''s me,” Jameson replied, suppressing his emotions. Despite his efforts, Marion could still discern


    the heaviness in his voice.


    Her expression turned cold instantly. Lowering her head to look at her still-braced leg, Marion spoke icily, “What’s the matter?


    We can discuss it tonight.”


    She ended the call abruptly. Jameson opened his mouth, but before he could utter a word, a busy tone echoed from the phone.


    When he tried calling again, he was met with the same busy signal. Marion


    had blocked Joe’s number.


    Jameson felt a mix of frustration, powerlessness, and fear. The understanding and considerate Marion he once knew seemed to


    have disappeared. Of course, he couldprehend Marion’s anger. D


    In these days, he deeply reflected on his actions and acknowledged that what he did that day was truly


    hurtful. However, he had no other intentions; he only wanted to save Sally. Marion’s ident was an unexpected tragedy, and he


    had not anticipated the distress it would cause him. 13


    During her more than a month-long stay in the hospital, Richard and Cassie had urged him to leave. Yet, he could only secretly


    stand outside her ward in thete night, watching her sleep peacefully.


    Having known each other since childhood, Jameson, despite moments of confusion, had consistently chosen Marion. He was


    not the type to vacite between choices. His feelings for Sally were nothing more than guilt. She could scold him and me


    him, but how could she deny him the chance to exin? 1


    This unfamiliar side of Marion made him uneasy and held a fear that their rtionship might truly be irreparable.


    Jameson remained silent, and Joe stared at the phone in his hand. Although worried about the phone getting damaged, he


    sensed that Jameson’s mood was off at the moment and dared not speak.

    After a few minutes, Jameson returned the phone to Joe. “What about the 640 | asked you to buy earlier?”


    Knowing Marion’s love for the sea, Jameson had set his eyes on a yacht before the wedding, intending to gift it to Marion on the


    day they received their marriage certificate. However, with no wedding and no marriage certificate for him, only the yacht


    remained.


    “It was deliveredst Friday.”


    “Give me the keys.”


    “Sure, Mr. Royce.”


    Joe sighed in relief and hurried to his office to fetch the keys. Due to the incident with the vi, Jameson could no longer stay at


    thepany.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    With two hours left until the dinner, Jameson drove to the port and personally inspected the yacht. It was his gesture of love and


    a profound expression of his affection for Marion.


    Later, he would make sure Marion knew. Jameson envisioned a beautiful oue, but the reality was


    often harsh.
