Apart from not being able to sleep in the same room as her, Ben was practically flawless.In comparison, the man in front of her went dining, wining, whoring, and gambling. Whenever he lost money, he would beat her up. She must have been blind back then to marry him."Why did you come back?" she asked coldly.Like pliers, the man squeezed her chin with his hands and said viciously, "Are you avoiding me because I’ve been to jail, Marilyn?”Furious, the man pushed her onto the courtyard wall and pressed his body against hers roughly. "Tell me, are you in love with that wild man you picked up?"When Marilyn made no reply, the man rolled up her skirt in anger.Marilyn hissed. “Are you crazy? Do you know where this is? How dare you—”"I’m doing this with my woman, is there a problem?”When the unspeakable act ended, Marilyn slumped on his body.The man squeezed her fair and tender face with satisfaction. "Marilyn, you’ll be mine and mine alone. I don't care if you have feelings for
Resentment filled Marilyn's eyes. That b*stard did not even save her a single cent.How did he expect she and Ben to survive if they did not have any money?Even so, Jay remained calm and relaxed. In a mild tone, he said, "Next time, remember to report the lost card as soon as you realize it.”Marilyn nodded. "Mm."At this time, Tiger stroked his belly and began to cry out. “Mommy, I’m hungry.”Marilyn was ridden with guilt after losing the card. At the sound of her son’s cries, she patted his head irritably and said, “Bear with it.”It was only then did Jay realize that they had not eaten anything yet.He got up and walked to the kitchen, fighting back the nauseating feeling when he saw the oil and grease on the kitchen stove. He fixed a bowl of soup for them.Marilyn stared at Jay’s charming and dreamy back as he moved back and forth in the kitchen, her eyes filled with infatuation.Whether in appearance or character, this man was simply the best in the world.Since God had
When Jay came out of the shower, he found Marilyn sitting on his bed.Startled, Jay slowly furrowed his brows.Marilyn patted the empty bed and called out softly. "I get it now, darling. Since we’re husband and wife, I won’t complain about your illness when you’re sick. I’ll sleep next to you every day from now on, and maybe someday, you’ll get used to this physical intimacy and your illness will heal even without any medication.”When Jay’s gaze fell on Marilyn’s swarthy arms, his stomach started churning uncontrollably. He endured the pain with a frown and shuffled over.Marilyn embraced him tightly. She called out in a soft and mushy voice as if her entire body was being burned by a blazing fire."I feel so uncomfortable, darling," She seduced him in a mellow and sultry voice.Jay remained silent as he tried to endure the increasingly sickening feeling in his stomach.Eventually, he pulled her hands away without any mercy. "You know I can’t, Marilyn, so why are you doing th
Was it his fault that the bunch of bad apples in the company insisted on stirring up havoc?Zayne stepped forward and reported, "Your Highness, I found out about something that’s quite trivial.”Angeline waved at him. “Then don't say it."Did he think that she had all the time in the world to handle trivial matters?Zayne said cheerfully, “Okay!”Grayson glared at Zayne. "How can you call that trivial when it’s something to do with him?”Zayne shrugged. "Why are you blaming me when our queen doesn’t want to listen to it?”Realizing that Zayne was about to report something unusual, Angeline said, "Let's listen to it, Zayne."Zayne stepped out with his head hanging low as he reported weakly. "Our men received news that your man is currently looking for a job at the job market center."Angeline was so furious that she grabbed the file on her desk and hurled it at Zayne, huffing and puffing. "You call this a trivial matter? This is a matter of primary importance in Grand Asia."Z
As an experienced and steely president, Yumi had imposed strict requirements for the job applicants.After flipping through all the resumes that were submitted, there was a disappointed look on her face.Then, she swept her falcon-like gaze toward the group of job applicants, ignoring each and every one of those exhausted faces.Ultimately, her gaze fell on one graceful and dashing physique. Although he was no longer the young master who was radiating with brilliance, he had never failed to amaze anyone with his coolness and indifference. A great astonishment emerged in Yumi's eyes. Slowly yet surely, it evolved into a determined smile.Yumi was the Severe’s family’s daughter-in-law. Although she rarely returned to the Severe’s residence, she had learned a secret from Sera. Jay was back, and he had lost his memory too.In order to protect Jay, Angeline was rigorous in keeping his identity a secret.Yumi was not a good and virtuous person. Besides, she was still brooding over Gr
Unexpectedly, after several years of girding up her loins, Angeline, who had been in a position of power and influence for so long, actually carried such a sharp edge."Trying to steal applicants from me, Ms. Severe? I’m sorry, but you’re one step late." Yumi laughed.She had never regarded Angeline as her sister-in-law.Although Yumi was Angeline's sister-in-law, she would never take on this obligation.Angeline blurted in a domineering manner, “It’s also possible to scrap a contract after it’s signed!"Yumi stared at Jay. "Make sure you take a look at the consequences of breaching the contract before you decide whether you want to breach it or not."Jay did not care about the consequences of breaching the contract, though what he did not like was how Angeline was behaving like a vanquisher."What are you trying to do?" he questioned her furiously.When Angeline turned to look at him, the frost on her face dissipated completely. She said with a smile, "Her tiny company doesn’t
Jay turned back, gritted his teeth, and growled. "What do you want?"Angeline replied, "Come to Grand Asia. Pick whatever position you want, list out the annual salary you’d like, and get everything from branded cars to big houses."Jay's face darkened. "I don’t have that high of a net worth."Angeline stuck her tongue out. She seemed to have overshot the mark.This guy was still unaware of how valuable his capabilities actually were.Angeline pondered for a while before saying to Grayson, "Grayson, dismiss Zayne. From tomorrow onward, he’ll be my personal assistant."Grayson could not help but laugh. Was Ms. Severe trying to put him close to her in order to take advantage of him?Master Ares was clearly more suited for the Cyber Security Department.Jay darted her a speechless glance, looking extremely reluctant. "I’ll come to work tomorrow."Angeline nodded with a smile and ordered Grayson, "Send him home."Grayson was secretly delighted. "Okay," he responded in a very sono
Jay turned him down straight away. "It’s a hassle to move."Grayson, "..." Yeap, that was definitely his way of dealing with a situation."Daddy." Suddenly, a kiddy voice interrupted their conversation.Marilyn held Tiger’s hands and was just returning from the vegetable market. The vegetables in the basket looked very much wilted and even slightly yellowish.Grayson’s falcon-like pupils suddenly contracted. Did this woman actually pick vegetables like that to cook? To feed Tom, Dick, and Harry?Grayson's heart was clouded in a layer of obscurity for some reason.Marilyn had always been someone who would move at the sight of money, hence when she noticed Grayson driving a luxury car, she immediately wanted to curry favor with him."Who is this, darling?""A colleague," Jay replied.Marilyn let out an ingratiating smile. "If he’s your colleague, then invite him in to take a seat. It’s really impolite to make him stand out here."Jay looked reluctant.Even so, Grayson nodded
“Madam Angeline, do you have any last words?” The man showed Angeline mercy and gave her the chance to breathe in some air. Angeline pondered upon it for a while and said, “In the past, I only wished for my family’s peace and my children’s health. Right now, I hope that my children will be able to achieve all of their dreams. I hope that Jens will be able to revitalize our family’s business. I hope that Baby Zetty’s wish for there to be no more pain and suffering in the world comes true. I hope that Baby Robbie’s wish for there to be no more separations in families comes true as well.” The man was stunned. The gun in his hands tilted slightly. “Madam Angeline, wealthy people like you live luxurious lives that are free of worries. How would you ever understand the suffering of ordinary people like us? You didn’t mean anything you said to me just now, right?” Angeline said, “I’m about to die. Why would I lie to you? Although I’m from a wealthy family, I’m also a mother. I love
Angeline said, “Although Jens is young, Whitty isn’t at a ripe age anymore. Whitty has waited for Jens for so many years. She should get something in return.” Sir Ares remained silent. However, there was still an unpleasant expression on his face.Upon catching sight of the expression on Sir Ares’ face, Whitty immediately said, “Daddy, Mommy, Jens and I aren’t in a rush to get married. Jens has decided to get married after having a stable career.”Sir Ares seemed to calm down. Jenson stood up and told Sir Ares, “Daddy, I’d like to marry Whitty.” Sir Ares cast a sideway glance at him and asked, “What’s the reason behind your decision to do so?” Jenson said, “I love her.” Sir Ares’ lips upturned slightly. Not only did Jens’ personality resemble that of his, but his outlook on love was similar to his as well.Upon recalling how persistent he was while pursuing Angeline when he was young, Sir Ares knew that he could not stop Jenson.The relationship between father and son w
Sir Ares stared at Angeline speechlessly. At this moment, their memorable love flashed across his mind. He had once loved someone so deeply. He could go against his parents for her as well. Sir Ares sighed and said, “You really can’t keep your children by your side once they’re all grown up.” Angeline stared at the dispirited man before her. Her heart hurt for him. She reached out to hold his hand. Sir Ares smiled at her as she warmed up his hands. He said in an understanding tone, “Angeline, you’re still the best.” Angeline smiled and said, “Of course, I’m the best. That’s because I’m the only person who will stay by your side till the very end. Gale is such an existence for Angel, and Finn is such an existence for Baby Zetty as well.” Sir Ares said, “Alright, stop teasing me. I got it.” Yes, love was above anything else in the world. That was the tradition of the Ares family. Sir Ares was madly in love with Angeline. However, when it came to others, he felt that
However, when Angeline found out about Grayson and Andy’s marriage, she insisted on holding a grand wedding for them.Angeline and Sir Ares called Andy before them. Angeline spoke up in a touched voice, “Andy, I’ve always treated you like my biological daughter. Now that you’re getting married, I’ll marry you off just like you’re my daughter.” Angeline handed a set of jewelry, a bank card, and a key to Andy. She said, “Andy, although Baby Zetty is married, we didn’t hold a grand wedding for her. I don’t know how other families marry off their daughters. Since you’re a girl, you’ll feel secure after having your own property. You’ll have your own freedom after having your own car. You’ll take the effort to dress up after having your own jewelry.” Andy cried tearfully, “Thank you, Mommy.”Angeline hugged Andy and patted her back as she said, “Don’t cry. You must come back often to visit in the future.” “Alright.” After Angeline finished speaking, Sir Ares stared and Grayson an
Whitney handed the envelope over to Andy and said, “Miss Laurel asked me to hand this to you.” Andy slowly opened the envelope under the sisters’ curious gazes. A red spider lily specimen fell out of the envelope.Tears filled Andy’s eyes when she saw it.The sisters all burst into tears. Whitney said, “I don’t know what meaning it holds for you, but I guess Laurel wants to convey something to all of you since she wanted me to hand it to you. Have you understood what she wants to tell you?”Andy cried out loud, “This is the blood oath that we made at the military intelligence division. When we swore to be sisters, Sis Daisy mentioned that although our fates were predetermined in this lifetime and we don’t get to decide how long we’ll be able to live, we can wait for the sisters in the afterlife after death. We must wait for everyone to gather before reincarnation. We can then be reincarnated as sisters in our next life.” Whitney was touched by this beautiful oath. She teared
Jenson then ordered the servants to search every nook and cranny of Tourmaline Estate and Imperial Capital. Baby Robbie seemed to have vanished into thin air. There was no sign of him anywhere.Sir Ares sighed after hearing the news. Angeline gave up after the long search. She told Jenson, “Don’t look for him. He’s all grown up now. We can’t restrain him anymore. Don’t waste more human and physical resources searching for him. Manage Tourmaline Estate well. You and Whitty will have to take responsibility for this household in the future.” Jenson stared into his mommy’s calm eyes. Although he was curious as to why his mommy, who loved her son more than her own life, could react so calmly to his disappearance, he kept that question in his heart. “Yes, mommy.” After leaving Chateau de Selene, Jenson returned to his room in an upset mood. Whitty walked into his room with a cup of hot tea and placed it in his hands gently. “Jens, you’ve been busy every day lately. You must look af
Baby Robbie nodded sternly. After Angeline’s health recovered a little, Baby Robbie paid her a visit at once. His face no longer gave out a childish air. His handsome face exuded a sharpness that resembled that of his father’s.Angeline knew that Baby Robbie would be filled with guilt for the rest of his life after this incident. She also knew that he would change his habit of fooling around and not thinking before acting. “Mommy, it’s all my fault. If I didn’t blindly believe in her, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to damage Tourmaline Estate,” Baby Robbie said. He was filled with self-guilt. Angeline said, “Baby Robbie, I know what you’re thinking. I’m having the same thoughts right now.” ”Baby Robbie was stunned. He glanced evaluatively at the weak and exhausted expression on his mommy’s face. Somehow, Baby Robbie felt upset on behalf of his mommy. It turned out that he was not the only one who did not have a good eye for people. His mommy was in the same boat as we
Jenson decided to rebuild Tourmaline Estate with the underlying theme of ‘remembrance’. Baby Robbie fell silent after looking through the design plans.“Jens, do you think that I’ve committed a huge sin?” He suddenly voiced out his thoughts. Jenson shook his head and said, “Baby Robbie, you didn’t want any of this to happen. However, you should’ve learned your lesson by now. You can’t be kind to everyone at all times.” Baby Robbie nodded and said, “I didn’t understand the meaning behind these words in the past. I get it now.” Jenson was stunned. After Baby Robbie left Jenson’s place, he paid a visit to Angel’s courtyard. Angel was now around seven years old. She was extremely tall and mentally mature. Therefore, she did not seem like a child at all. “Brother, I heard that you haven’t been in a good mood lately. I wanted to look for you since some time ago. However, look at the state that I’m in. How can I go out?” She waved her sleeves slightly. The furniture within the
Sir Ares stared at Sis Thirteen coldly. His gaze was devoid of the fatherly love that he had always shown her.“I knew that you had a hidden motive when you moved into the Ares family back then. However, I didn’t expect you to be so evil and have such a cruel heart at such a young age. Angeline’s love and adoration toward you didn’t warm your heart at all. To me, you’re not just a traitor. You don’t have a heart at all.” Sis Thirteen stared at Sir Ares in shock. Sir Ares’ scoldings seemed to help her better perceive herself. “You hurt my father. You hurt my daddy. That’s why I steeled my heart and decided to take revenge on the Ares family,” she cried out loud. Sir Ares said in a harsh tone, “Karma exists in the world. Why would I hurt him if he didn’t abduct my children? You don’t have the ability to discern right and wrong. You’re just making excuses for yourself. Do you think you’re being reasonable right now?” Sis Thirteen shook her head in devastation. “I only know that
