Chapter 63. The Illusion of Brilliance

Taya's POV

Jackson hadn’t even read any of the documents while he was waiting for his turn. How was he prepared for this?

Jackson tapped a finger lightly on his temple and said confidently, “Don’t worry. I just needed to read them once.”

I froze.

That’s right. Jackson had a photographic memory. So…how could he lose his memory?

His words dispelled the last bit of kindness I had left for him. He was putting on an act. I had almost mistaken him for the previous Silas.

My stiff expression made him question me.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Frustrated, I shook my head. “I’m fine. Hurry and go on stage.”

Once the bidding ended, I could part ways with Jackson and never see him again.

Jackson looked as if he were about to say something else, but after the host’s second urging, he had to get up on the stage.

As soon as Jackson left, I collapsed back into my chair and looked expressionlessly at the stage.
