Chapter 286
Jonathan’s POV
Rollings House
I called the boys over to Rollings House again.
“It’s time to execute the letters I gave you all p>
“But Jonathan, we already did the moment we received them p>
“Yes, but no one knew I sent those letters before the accident p>
“Now it’s time to let everyone know I already suspected this attack and was ready for it p>
I knew the boys understood this time the meeting was different from the last one.
This time I wasn’t just telling them to read the letters but activating the plan hidden behind them.
This was after all my biggest payback to the ones who hoped I would forget my memories.
Vance was the first one again to place his letter on the table.
“Your letter gave me authority to act where you won’t be able to p>
“Like at the hospital for Veronica, I used your seal so she could get her treatment p>
“And for the River Treaty Renewal Contract p>
“Yes,” Jonathan said.
“You will officially announce your letter, stating you control all legal matters in case I’m unable to p>
“Means all legal matters are already taken care of even if I don’t remember them p>
“That way no one can legally exploit my family or the business p>
“Your and your family’s treatment was also taken care of under this authority p>
“Yes, you have full authority to represent me legally in any situation p>
“Now John, you,” I said, looking towards him.
“I have round-the-clock video and audio surveillance everywhere,” John said.
“I have separate teams following everyone, Vanca and Daniel included p>
“I’ve made sure there won’t be any loop in the recording p>
“I guess I’m next,” Daniel said, removing his letter.
“I’ve moved my office over to Rollings Designs, so no need to worry about that p>
“Veronica won’t have to worry about either Rollings or Harmon p>
“I and Aunt Jane are taking care of them along with Adrian p>
“Daniel,” I said.
“I can’t thank you enough p>
“I know this matter with Imelda is affecting you p>
“I also made Adrian come over along with Janet p>
“Don’t worry,” he said.
“Adrian is doing what he should p>
“And I can’t deny the fact Imelda is his mother p>
“What’s the matter?” John said as he saw he was looking low.
“I’m shocked by how much this situation is impacting you p>
“And what do I have to lose if anything happens to me p>
“Also, about my marriage to Imelda because Veronica didn’t open her letter p>
“Are you p>
“Angry?” I said, cutting Vance’s words.
“Yes,” I said.
“But more sad, as she didn’t because she was more concerned about me than a letter p>
“The thought she believed the doctor I could forget her completely p>
“Is what gave Imelda her base to stand up p>
“Veronica chose to wait for me to regain my memory, while Imelda chose to make me remember the time we spent together p>
“Something Veronica should have done p>
“We can’t change what’s happened,” Vance said.
“What now p>
“It’s clear,” I said.
“Vance announces he has all legal rights, John announces he’s in charge of the security, and Daniel, Rollings and Harmon are not without a leader p>
“And as for me p>
“I will step out again with my full memory p>
“Now the final part p>
“I wrote these letters before the accident, as I knew the attack could affect not only my body but my mind as well p>
“Losing my memory was the plan the attacker intended p>
Silence fell in the room as the boys realized the accident was not only carefully planned but was meant to have maximum impact on my health and overall condition.
“But there’s still something I haven’t told you all p>
Vance, John and Daniel looked at me with confusion in their eyes.
I remained silent for a brief moment.
I looked over the boys towards the doorway and saw Veronica standing.
I knew she heard enough to know the letters were more than what we spoke about.
I could see the hurt in her eyes, and no matter what, the truth couldn’t be softened anyhow.
I knew she realized I was carrying knowledge about me that even she never understood.
“I never lost my memory, as in completely p>
“I did lose my memory, but only partially p>
Silence fell in the room as Veronica walked over and sat across from me.
“I clearly remembered everything that happened before the accident; I even almost saw the person in the car that rammed into mine, but after a few seconds, everything became blurry p>
“I did forget some things, like the kidnapping and regarding Sanders p>
“I guess it was like my brain locked all the painful things out p>
“At first I didn’t understand when I woke up p>
“I didn’t remember Veronica immediately p>
“The reason Imelda took the chance p>
“But the next day I did remember you, but you agreed Veronica died, so I also became skeptical of my own memory p>
“It became a part I just couldn’t access p>
“By the time I did, I was way ahead with Imelda, and Veronica never took the chance to hold my hand p>
“I knew it,” Vance said.
“Ever since you woke up, I’ve noticed you were fighting with yourself p>
“You were forcing yourself to remember Veronica p>
“I had to p>
“I never forgot Imelda, but I had to remember Veronica, as those fragments that I forgot were giving Imelda the base to stand on p>
I looked towards Veronica, then the boys. I knew once I told them the full truth, everything would change.
“The intention of the letters was initially in case I fell into a coma, was bedridden, or was dead p>
“They were part of my plan, allowing you all to continue without me p>
“This is the truth that I have been hiding ever since I woke up p>
“Jonathan, can you forgive me?” Veronica said in a low voice.
“Forgive?” John said.
“I’m shocked you asked that after signing the paper p>
“That I trailed off a bit.
“Won’t be a problem p>
“Jonathan?” John said, shocked.
“Veronica signed a paper stating she allows her husband to marry another woman p>
“Means your marriage to Imelda won’t be a bigamy p>
“And Imelda will never divorce you p>
“I don’t need Imelda to give me a divorce p>
