Upon hearing this, Lawrence knitted his brows subtly.

Timothy knew that if a man really cared about and loved a woman, he would have a sense of possessiveness towards her.

It was obvious that Lawrence was the kind of man who would be possessive.

He was undoubtedly jealous after hearing him say that.

It was probably Lawrence's lifelong regret that he couldn't be with Candace during the most beautiful time of her life.

It was just like how he and Candace had been in love for seven years, but it didn't end up amounting to anything.

Every time he thought about it, he felt as if there were a lot of things missing in his heart. He was uncomfortable, lonely, and had difficulty in falling asleep.

Therefore, Timothy also believed that Lawrence must feel the same as he did. When he heard these words, he would feel regretful.

He smiled and continued, "At that time, she was the beauty of the school. There were too many people pursuing her, but she chose to be with me."

"She was with you, but you two broke up, and she married Anderson. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're talking about these things now?" There was a hint of jealousy in Lawrence's tone.

It was clear that the jealousy in his heart would not disappear easily, and his chest was heaving violently. His eyes were shining in the night sky, and he was visibly furious.

Timothy gave him a bland glance and said, "Yes, she was with me for six years, but I never really proposed to her. She had a strong personality, so she took my daughter away and married Anderson. It seems that he was her only husband. Although she's been with three men in her life, the only person who married her is Anderson, right? You didn't marry her either, did you?"

Stunned by the question, Lawrence frowned and said coldly, "Why do you care if I married her or not?"

When he left home, he could not replace a way to get a divorce. Both of them were already married, so how could they get married again?

However, he would not speak of this disgraceful truth.

Timothy chuckled and said, "Look, you're so full of righteous indignation and so restless, but all you two are doing is being together and committing adultery. Your so-called love is rejected by society. No matter if she and I amounted to anything, we were in love back then, which is different from you. You had a child with her, yet you brazenly refused to raise him and shoved him to Heinz and Grace. That shows how selfish you are in your heart!"

"They're willing to raise him!" Lawrence blurted out. "Do they need you to come here and stand up for them?"

Timothy knew that he was angry from embarrassment, so he said lightly, "Being loud doesn't make you more reasonable. What's more, you have no reason to refute me in such a loud voice. You know that you are in the wrong, don't you?"

Lawrence was stunned and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

Timothy extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and looked at the coastline in the distance. "Let me give you a piece of advice. If you want to earn the children's respect and understanding, you don't do it by looking down on them because of your age, but with a sincere apology, which might get you the children's understanding." "If I were you, I would make the matter about the news clear to the children in person. Even if you didn't do it, you should still explain it clearly, not with such a tough attitude, taking things for granted."

"I!" Lawrence opened his mouth, but he was stuck there again.

Timothy glanced at him and knew that he had something to do with the incident.

He looked at him with a sneer. "If you don't want to let people know, then don't do it. The things you do are yours. There's no need to shirk the responsibility."

After that, he turned around and strode away. Lawrence stood in the sea breeze and could not come back to his senses for a long time.

He didn't react until Timothy had driven dozens of meters away. He shouted, "Stop him! Don't let him go. I have more to ask."

His men immediately rushed forward and quickly stopped him.

When Timothy, who was sitting in the car, saw Lawrence, his face was calm, as if he had expected it. He looked at the person in front of him indifferently and opened the window. "Mr. Yarbrough, Mr. Jones still has something to say. Please hold on."

Timothy said coldly, "What else is there?" At this time, Lawrence had come over quickly. Without hesitation, he opened the door to the passenger seat and got in.

Timothy turned his head and looked at him. He frowned and said in a low voice, "What else is there?"

Lawrence took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. He said in a low voice, "Let me hear the recording. I want to listen to the whole thing."

Timothy raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone. "Are you sure you can listen to it all? I'm just afraid that you'll explode from anger before you even finish."

"No matter what, just let me listen to it. If I don't listen to it all, how can I be sure whether you are deliberately manipulating the situation or not? Maybe things are not as serious as you say."

"That makes sense. Since you have the courage to listen to this recording, I have nothing to hide either. You can listen to it right here." Timothy turned on his cell phone and played the recording for him all over again.

About an hour later, the recording was over.

Lawrence's face was ashen. His hands were clenched into fists, and his knuckles cracked.

"Let me see her. Tomorrow, you arrange a time. If I see her, I will tell you everything. Take it as a condition for an exchange. You can negotiate with my son and the others." After saying this, he got out of the ca and left without waiting for Timothy's reply.

Timothy, who was sitting in the car, frowned and looked coldly at his back. He looked up at the sky. It was almost dawn.

Instead of going home, he started the car and went to the office, intending to take a nap first.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Heinz received a call from Timothy.

"Your father said that he wants to see Candace. After he sees her, he will tell you everything."

When Heinz heard this, he said, "No."

Timothy was stunned, but quickly understood what Heinz meant.

"You plan to keep your father wanting. You want him to be curious about whether or not Candace ever loved him, and you plan to do this by not letting him see her, so that he is unable to confirm the truth. Is that right?"

Heinz knew that with age came wisdom, so he didn't keep Timothy in the dark. He said frankly, "Yes, that's what I mean, but I really don't plan on letting them meet. I want them to regret it forever. It's a form of comfort to my mother's spirit in heaven as well."

Hearing this, Timothy was also stunned, but he didn't try to persuade him otherwise. He just said, "Well, if he comes to me again, I'll tell him the truth."

Heinz thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Yarbrough, thank you for your help."

"You're welcome." Timothy said, "I want to do my best to be right by you all."

"Thank you." Heinz held the phone. "That's all."

"Alright."
