Chapter 374: He&##x27;s Always a Burden Star Lake Mansion.

Jameson didn't let Ruben sleep on the ground, but instead asked Jennifer to tidy up the empty room
downstairs for Ruben.

Ruben sat on the sofa with dried blood on his clothes.

Jameson went downstairs and threw the clothes from his hands into Ruben's arms.

"Change it."

Ruben replied, sat there motionless, and was lost in thought.

Jameson sat opposite him with his slender legs crossed, "Are you reflecting on yourself, or are you
trying to figure out how to make Sharon's situation worse?"

Hearing this, Ruben couldn't help but frown.

After a while, he said, "I don't think like that."

"But you did like thal."

Ruben pursed his lips and remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Jameson said, "I understand your desire to kill Josh to avenge her.But if
you succeed, you will think you killed a sc*m.Killing him is killing for the people and it will be justice, but
the law doesn't think so."

"After you kill him, apart from the crime of patricide, you will also satisfy someone's wishes.You will
push Sharon to the forefront of the storm, causing everything that happened in the past to be
uncovered.What you will bring her will be nothing but malicious speculation and endless curses."

Ruben frowned even tighter.



"I thought that as long as Josh died, everything would be over."

"That's just what 'you' think."

Jameson slowly said, "Everything is not as simple as it looks like.Everything that happened today is
just Talon using you.As for his real purpose..."

Halfway through his words, Jameson narrowed his cycs.

If he had guessed correctly, it was very likely that Josh had fallen into Talon's hands.

It seemed that the cunning man had the ability to find Josh.

Ruben said, "But Talon is..."

Jameson came to reality and interrupted him, "No."

Surprise and confusion appeared on Ruben's Tace.

"Your sister didn't want to tell you this because she was afraid that you would be worried, but she didn't
expect that Talon would take advantage of this."

Jameson continued, "Your sister is right.There is only one thing you need to remember.You are the only
relative she has in this world..."

After a pause, Jameson corrected, "One of the three relatives."

Ruben was puzzled.

Jameson stood up and glanced at him again.

"Go wash yourself up" he said disdainfully.



Very quickly, Jennifer tidied up the room, came out, and brought Ruben some daily necessities.

Ruben whispered, "Thank you."

"You don't have to be so reserved.You are Ms.Allyson's younger brother.I should do this."

Ruben nodded at her and entered the room.

After bathing, he came out and lay on the bed.

He looked at the unfamiliar room, his arms resting on his eyes, and he was silent for a long time.

After a while, he put down his hand, picked up his phone and dialed Sharon's number.

The phone rang a few times and was connected.

"I'm sorry" Ruben said.

Sharon was quiet for two seconds before she said, "Ruben, you shouldn't apologize.I should have told
you everything in advance."

"I already know"

"Jameson told you?" Sharon froze.

"Yeah." Ruben replied softly.

Sharon sighed, "Ruben, this matter is very complicated.I don't want you to get involved, but I should
have realized that it's only a matter of time before Talon has designs on you"

Ruben did not say anything.

"How did you know that Josh was there?"



"He told me."

Sharon was stunned for a moment before realizing that the "He"

Ruben referred to should be Talon.

So, Talon really had a plan.

Sharon said, "Ruben, stop meddling in this matter.Don't listen to any word from Talon.After you recover
from your injuries, go back to school.He doesn't dare to do anything to you."

"I see.This was the only thing he could do now.It was ironic that the greatest help he could give her was
to do nothing.No matter how long it had passed, he was always a burden.

Before hanging up, Sharon said, "Speaking of which, Giana came to find you today.Did you say
something bad because of anger?"

When she mentioned this, Ruben frowned and acquiesced.

Sharon said, "She cares about you.No matter what, you should call her and apologize."

After a long time, Ruben's Adam's apple rolled, "Alright."

Hanging up, Ruben's finger was placed on Giana''s name, but he did not dial.

Just as Ruben was about to put down his phone, he accidentally called.

Ruben looked at the screen and subconsciously wanted to hang up, but after a few seconds of
hesitation, he put his phone near his ear.

Very quickly, a man's voice came from the phone, "Who is it?"



Ruben pursed his lips and remained silent.

A few seconds later, Giana's voice sounded, "Who is it?"

The man said, "I don't know.It didn't talk."

Giana said, "Maybe it's a scam call.Hang up."

The man said, "Are you done?"

Without waiting for the man to hang up, Ruben quickly turned off his phone.

He stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

After a long time, he picked up his phone again and dialed a number.

The person on phone yawned and said, "It's so late, you're not going to sleep...?"

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Ruben.

"I promise you," he said softly.

"Wait, what did you say? Say it again? I shouldn't be dreaming.Then, sign the contract tomorrow.I'll pick
you up.Send me your address now!"

The person on the phone instantly became energetic.

"No need.Send me the address, and I'll send it to you."

"Then what if you go back on your word?"

"I won’t.” Only when he was strong would he have the capability to protect those who he cared.



The person on the phone said, "Alright, I'll be waiting for you at the office tomorrow morning at ten
o'clock.I'll give you the address immediately."

"Alright," Ruben said.

After hanging up, Ruben received an address.

He took a look and wrote it down.

He put down his phone and closed his eyes.

He was sleepless all night.

The next morning, when Jameson went downstairs, he saw Jennifer serving breakfast and asked,
"He's not up yet?"

"Yeah, he got up at half past seven and said that he had something to do.He has left."

Jameson said coldly, "Did he say where he was going?"

Jennifer shook her head, "Nope.He just said he knew what he should do.He will definitely not be taken
advantage of in the future, and you and Ms.Allyson should rest assured."

"Oh."

Jameson softly replied.

This was more like it.

He pulled his chair and sat down.

Jennifer said tentatively, "Sir, I feel I just had a slip of the lip..."
