Rose smirked. “That’s the way. Although we are a family, we still need to settle our scores clearly! Another thing, don’t you dare call me an illegitimate daughter. You’re more clear than anybody else whether this is the truth or not.”Her stepmother was filled with so much hatred that her eyes could go up in flames.Royan was holding back his emotions to the point that his facial expression was beginning to twitch. “Will you agree to help Loyle Enterprise now?”Rose paused before saying, “Transfer the whole of Loyle Enterprise to my name. In the future, all of you will have no connection to it whether the company is profiting or losing, deal?”Royan froze on the spot.“Rose Loyle, you want to take over Loyle Enterprise?” her stepmother said between gritted teeth.Rose said, “Isn’t this what you all want? Making me shoulder all the debts? You must be well aware that me taking over Loyle Enterprise during this period of time is a dangerous move that might end up badly. It’s up to
Jay had turned the grudge between Rose and himself into a sanction by Grand Asia toward Loyle Enterprise. That infuriated Rose very much.She may hate Royan very much, but the staff working under Loyle Enterprise were innocent. Many people were going to lose their jobs if Loyle Enterprise went into bankruptcy.Rose was a kind person by nature and did not want to create so much bad karma, thus she angrily marched over to Grand Asia to try to talk some sense into Jay. She did not expect to bump into her half-sister, Sydney, who was on her way out.Sydney looked at her cheaply-dressed older half-sister. She admitted that Rose did look attractive to a certain degree. However, to wear a few hundred Yuan worth of clothes and appear in Grand Asia, a place located in one of the upper-class areas, Rose was like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Gardens—a shameful sight.“What are you doing here?” Sydney folded her arms with a disdainful look at Rose.Rose had guessed Sydney’s intentions o
Rose kicked the office door open, causing a loud bang to be heard. Jay, who was deeply concentrated on going through some documents, abruptly looked up.When he saw Rose and her sister, his gaze turned icy cold.Rose huffed angrily as she marched toward him...In contrast, Sydney was trembling as she inched forward. She was observing Jay’s expression fearfully. Seeing how there was no bigger reaction from his handsome face, Sydney did not want to lose to Rose and plucked up the courage to walk over.Jay raised his head. His breathtakingly sharp gaze locked on Rose as he spoke confidently, “Rose Loyle, are you here to hand over Baby Robbie’s custody?”Agitation flashed across Rose’s eyes. “Jay, you’re a scoundrel. How could you apply sanction on Loyle Enterprise just to get Baby Robbie’s custody rights from me?”A layer of frost coated Jay’s handsome looks as he threw the pen that was in his hand. ‘I thought that Rose was here to obediently hand over Baby Robbie’s custody rights t
Jay looked at the arrogant woman in front of him. He savagely pinched her mouth so tightly that it went out of shape. “Why will I be scared of a salted fish like you?”Rose laughed wantonly. “Even a salted fish will have a day where it will flip over. I knew it. It‘s because I broke the code for Qilin‘s website that you now fear me, isn’t it? You’re afraid that I‘ll grow stronger and will have the capability to fight for Baby Robbie’s custody with you!“Her mouth was being pinched by Jay, thus her speech was somewhat incoherent. However, her arrogance and domineering gaze were clear to see.Jay sullenly looked at the woman who did not know her limitations and scoffed. “Are you expecting to overtake me with some minimal hacker skills? What an idiotic dream.”Rose was not having any idiotic dreams.She was not just a hacker, she was also the young mistress of the Severe family! She learned how to run the family business from her grandfather since she was a child. Also, she was the g
Before Sydney could finish her pleasantries, Jay yelled at her, “Scram!”Sydney was so frightened that she stumbled her way out.The room was left with only Rose and Jay now. Both of them were glaring at each other with raging eyes. The atmosphere in the room was suppressed to its lowest.“Rose, how bold of you to threaten me. Do you know that after all these years, you’re the first person who dares to threaten me?” Jay clenched his teeth.Rose smiled victoriously. “Thanks for the honor!”Jay’s expression turned dark. “Since you want to leave Imperial City, I’ll immediately book a flight for you and your daughter! As for Baby Robbie, you can forget about ever bringing him away.”Rose suddenly laughed. It was a bitter kind of laugh.Jay treated Jenson and Baby Robbie like his precious gems, yet he could abandon her and their daughter. However, Zetty was also his daughter. Was it not cruel and unfair for Zetty that he was treating her so coldly and heartlessly?“Sir Ares, I won‘t
Jay was not the least bit bothered by Rose’s provocation, but he was worried about one thing. ‘If a salted fish like her is busy being the savior of the world, then who is going to take care of my son, Baby Robbie?’The thought of his little Baby Robbie being neglected by Rose made his heart extremely uneasy.That day after work, Jay brought Jenson over to Exuberant City. Rose opened the door, and her expression was flabbergasted when she saw Jay.They had just argued so vehemently that afternoon. Where was his self-respect to be visiting her now?Jay was sacrificing everything for his son. Even his morality had been fed to the dogs. With a twinkle in his peach eyes, he smiled gentlemanly at Rose and said, “Jens misses his brother. I’ll bring the boys out for dinner. No objections?”Rose was stunned while remaining standing at the entrance.‘This fella actually believes that he only has two sons? If he continues to blatantly ignore his daughter, Zetty’s fragile heart is going to
After some time, Rose carried a few plates of dumplings out.The small rectangular dining table was full of animal-themed children’s plates. It was starting to look like a zoo. Jay looked at the dragon-themed plate in front of him and was flustered. Was he supposed to use such a childish plate as well?The children cheered as they received their cutleries. They tapped on the plate with their chopsticks and knives.“There’s my favorite carrot and meat dumpling,” Baby Robbie cheered.“There’s my favorite cabbage dumpling,” Zetty cheered gently as well.“And there’s my favorite potato dumpling,” Jenson cooly said.Jay looked at the plate full of semi-opaque and shiny dumplings. Through the skin, the children seemed to be able to see through the dumplings and happily guessed the filling.When Rose carried the last plate of dumplings out, Jenson, who was initially next to Jay, suddenly stood up and left his seat. He went over to Rose and pulled his mommy’s hand, guiding her to Jay.
“You want Baby Robbie to go over to Horizon Colors?” Rose asked.Jay nodded. He thought that Rose would make things difficult for him, but she suddenly passed him a box of dumplings. “Tomorrow’s breakfast.”Jay was stunned and felt rather unexpected that she would agree so readily.Rose looked at his suspicious gaze and explained, “Do not gauge a gentleman’s heart with one’s own measure. I will never drag the kids into our feud.”Jay gave her a rare nod of approval. “It’s good that you think that way.”Rose was rendered speechless. She was always so unbearable in his eyes.Although Jay had achieved his goals, he did not seem to have any intentions of leaving. He remained by the door frame, looking at Rose.“Is there anything else?” Rose asked.Jay seemed to have difficulty putting his thoughts into words as he replied, “Can I bring Zetty along?”Rose was hesitant upon hearing that.Jay did not know that Zetty was his daughter, and his attitude toward Zetty had always been col
