Chapter 47 He Had Not Cherished What He Had
The night was exceptionally quiet. The car outside the villa had yet to leave. Jameson watched as the
last light in the villa went out.
His hand, holding a cigarette, trembled slightly, and a bitter taste surged in his mouth.
He knew that for the night, Marion would not come out of that villa again. She had legally and
reasonably moved in with Lucas, having married him.
As for him, waiting outside the villa, he could not find any solution to the situation. Perhaps by tomorrow
morning, he would witness them leaving the villa together.
Jameson did not know how he drove back. Along the way, he felt like a puppet without thoughts, driven
only by instinct, returning to the Royces‘ residence. The Royces‘ house should have been quiet and
dark, ready for a peaceful sleep. However, tonight, the Royces‘ house was brightly lit.

on the sofa with a cold expression..
“Where did you go?”
Bernadette, fearing a confrontation between father and son, walked over and patted Jameson. “You
came back so late. Is the company very busy?”
“I went to the Cartiers.”
Upon hearing his words, Joseph snorted coldly. “To the Cartiers? Why would you go there? To make a
fool of yourself?”
Thinking about the mocking words from the ladies that day, Bernadette’s expression turned unpleasant.
She was never quite satisfied with Marion as her future daughter–in–law. Despite Marion’s influential
family, Richard wasn’t cut out for business.
Over the years, instead of progressing, their fortune had declined annually.
If it were not for Joseph and Richard’s friendship of more than forty years, as well as Marion’s
influential family, Bernadette would never have agreed to this match.
In the past month, so much had happened, and Marion had publicly humiliated the Royces online. The
more Bernadette thought about it, the angrier she became.
“Jameson, don’t go looking for Marion again. She’s married to Lucas now, and she handled things so
decisively. We don’t need to rush to seek her forgiveness!” Bernadette said in frustration.
“Listen to your mother. She’ll introduce you to a better candidate from a wealthy family!”
Jameson remained silent. He neither agreed nor refused. “I’m tired.” With that, he turned and went
upstairs to his room.

Joseph was furious and slammed his tea cup onto the table with a loud crash, startling Bernadette.
She glared at Joseph. “Do you have the right to be angry? Marion wasn’t your choice for a daughter–in

Bernadette’s words only fueled Joseph’s anger, and he trembled with rage. “How can you still say that?
Is this how you teach your son? He ruined his own wedding!”
“I’m not the only one with a son here. Did you teach him anything? If he does well, it’s to your credit,
but if he messes up, it’s all on me. Joseph, are you even human?”
The couple continued to argue, making the night anything but peaceful for the Royces. Jameson closed
the door to his room, and the soundproofing ensured that his parents‘ quarrel remained
outside.
Lying on the bed, he looked at the watch on the bedside table. It was a gift from Marion. She had given
it to him, expressing her wish for him to cherish it and their future together. He had not cherished

neither Marion nor the watch. Now she had given up on him.
