He wasn't disagreeing with what Cyrus said. Rather, he was feeling remorse over how much he had sacrificed over three years. He felt like it was not worth it at all.
At this very moment, he was extremely regretful and sorry.

He regretted that his righteous and upright self had beca slave to the devil.
"Other than the evidence of your crimes that we found at your home, is there anything else you'd like to tell us?" Cyrus questioned with a serious look on his face.
"Yes." Nicholas lowered his eyes. "I was involved in Aidan's case too. Jameson instructedfrom behind the scenes." Cyrus was shocked. "You killed Aidan? Didn't he die by suicide?" "He did, but Jameson forced him to his death. Jameson wrote and forged a suicide note for him in advance and then asked the lawyer to give it to Aidan so that he'd have it with him all the time. After he died, I pressured the police to close the case quickly and declare his death a suicide." Cyrus scowled and shook his head. He was still perplexed.
"Aidan was the heir to Lovelace Group. He was the eldest son of the Lovelace family and a prideful man. How could he have allowed you to manipulate him so easily?" "Because Jameson has something on him that could easily end him." Nicholas felt his eyelid twitch. "Aidan was one of Jameson's important business partners in Solana City. Jameson tricked him into believing that he was selling a new type of soft drug that would bring him huge profits. At least, that was what Jameson did to bring him into his ploy.
"But what Aidan didn't expect was that he was merely helping Jameson with human drug experimentation. From the very beginning, Jameson wasn't planning to make a profit from it. In order to reach his goal, he made an extremely tempting offer. That was why Aidan took the risk to partner with him." Regardless of what happened, Cyrus' mother, Mandy, was part of the Lovelace family. She had now also taken complete charge of Lovelace Group.
Since this involved his family, Cyrus couldn't help but show more concern. "Lovelace Group is owned by a noble family in Belbanks. They're a reputable family with successful business and assets worth tens of billions. Why would they join the dark side and get involved with drug trades?" Content belongs to en.sw"Joseph and Aidan have been expanding their business blindly these past few years. On top of that, there was barely any progress with the medications they were developing. The higher-ups no longer wished to invest in them.
"This caused Lovelace Group's cash flow to becproblematic, and they needed a huge sum of funds urgently. Because of that, Aidan fell for Jameson's trap." All of a sudden, it clicked for Cyrus. He asked, "What did Jameson have on him, then?" "The experimentation on the new drug caused frequent deaths in Solana City. Aidan went to Jameson and said that he wanted out. He also threatened Jameson that he would drag him down if anything happened to him.

Even if it was a slip of the tongue, he definitely wasn't going to tolerate Aidan anymore." Nicholas' eyes were dark and dull. "One night, Jameson used a get-together as an excuse to invite Aidan to a resort hotel nearby. That night was one of debauchery. Aidan got carried away and got a room with a woman.
"That woman was found dead on his bed. She died a sudden death in the wee hours of the morning. Jameson had instructed someone to inject a high dose of hallucinogen into her, causing her to die of an overdose.
"While Aidan was in a drunken and muddled state, Jameson took the opportunity to pin the blfor the murder on him. Then, he orderedto get rid of the body before daybreak." Suddenly, Cyrus widened his eyes in anger. "What did you do with that woman's body?" "There's an active construction site in the eastern district. There was a cement foundation that was half-completed. I threw her body in there." Cyrus felt a lump in his throat. He looked at Nicholas with an extremely conflicted gaze. No matter what, he couldn't forgive him. He would not be spared by the law either.
"So, Aidan's unwarranted arrest was also Jameson's handiwork? Then, he forced Aidan to his death. This way, he would be able to escape completely unscathed and free from troubles. Is that right?" Jameson was insidious and merciless. It would be considered a light punishment even if he were sent to hell.
"I know that I have committed unforgivable crimes. I accept all my punishments. I will not protest or appeal."
