Dolores sighed, “It’s my choice to kneel here. Come back. Stella comes with you, right?”

“Nathan has sent her back. I come here to ask you a question.”

“I know what you want to ask. I’ve heard of some things on the way here. I don’t know what Joanna had done when she was alive, but the one backing her up is not the James family. And the baby’s sickness has nothing to do with the James.”

Clarence asked, “Then what about you?”

Dolores replied after a while of silence, “Clare, ever since I left the James family, I’m no longer a member of the family. This is the reason why I haven’t told you about this.”

“Now that you’ve left, why do you come back again?”

“Because I regret it. I regret that impulsive choice. I don’t want to regret it for the rest of my life, so I come back to do something that I can do.”

“I have many questions before I came to the James family, like your relationship with the James family, what drives Vincent to stay by my side for many years, what happened twenty years ago and what the James family’s roles in those things were.”

“Clare…”

Clarence continued indifferently, “But these puzzles were solved when I found you here.”

Dolores slightly knitted her brows and moved her lips trying to say something.

Clarence said in a calm voice, “You’re Darnell’s aunt, the only and beloved daughter of the previous patriarch. Although he was angry that you insisted on leaving Riverside because of a man and therefore cut off the relationship with you, he was still worried about you a lot.”

“Especially when he learned that the man who deceived you to City N had a wife and a son and didn’t give a shit about your life, he wanted to seek revenge for you and pave the way for your son, so he bribed the driver of the Conrad family and created a car accident. Justin…”
