After Amelie left, Joshua returned to his cell.
"People come to see you every day. Mr. Palmer, you are quite busy..."
Jerome's weak voice came from a corner.
"I have been thinking about what you said. Joshua, I have to admit that you are eloquent.
"I am defeated in this field!"
Jerome raised his hands in surrender.
With a slight frown, Joshua felt weird.
Joshua thought, there must be something wrong when one isn't himself.
What's wrong with Jerome today?
There is no sarcasm in his tone, but I get goosebumps all over my body.
Joshua remained silent.
Jerome went on as if he didn't need Joshua's response.
"Maybe you are right. The people gather around me for benefits.
"Without the Bass family, I would be a good-for-nothing.
"Perhaps nobody would care about me..."
Jerome looked at Joshua, and there was the first glint of brilliance in his sunken eyes.
