His impulse was the cause of the Ares family’s tragedy in the past. If he could just control his emotions back then, he would not have brought fear and misfortune upon the Ares family."Jack, stop." Grand Old Master Ares roared.Jack tossed the broom away. With his bloodshot eyes, he glared fiercely at Madam Ares like a bloodthirsty demon. "Ask yourself honestly, do you think what you did is right?"Now badly mangled and disfigured, Madam Ares wailed and begged for mercy. "I may have made a mistake, Old Master Jack, but I’ve raised Jay and Josephine for you, both of who are not of my own. Don’t I deserve a bit of credit for my hard work too? For all the things I’ve done and the pain I’ve suffered, I beg you to please spare me.”Jack roared. "You want to be spared after you betrayed me? Do you think I’m a hotel where you can come and go as you like? Well, let me tell you, the hatred in my heart will never be rid of until I torture you to death.”Jack then started screaming at his s
Jay's pupils darkened. This girl was pretty good at catching people off guard with her tricks.Then, he remembered Rose… The weak and harmless girl.Jay suddenly pushed Angeline away.Angeline stared blankly at him, her deer-like eyes looking wounded. "What’s wrong?"Jay stood up irritably. When he saw her wounded eyes, his heart ached even more."I bought you clothes. I'll go get them." He made an excuse to leave.Angeline nodded with a dull look on her face. "Mm."How could she not sense his resistance?He was a temperamental man. He would sometimes grow close to her and other times distance himself from her, just like a puppet that was being manipulated by others.Angeline sighed weakly. "When is your memory going to recover?"Soon, Jay returned with a few shopping bags. It was clear that he was suppressing his irritability.He handed the bags to Angeline and said softly, "See if you like them?"There was a glimmer in Angeline’s eyes when she took out a dress. "What a
Jay was a little stunned. He then said with a deeper meaning, "Oh, really? You miss the past?”In the past, she was not Grand Asia’s president and wielded no power over other people’s life and property as she pleased, yet she liked it?Angeline leaned on his shoulder and lamented, "I miss the old days when worries were the least of our concerns and I only had eyes for you. There’s just so much helplessness now..."Jay listened to her and hugged her tighter involuntarily.How he hoped that everything Sydney said was fake.He would rather believe that he and Angeline used to love and hold each other, that their love was unsophisticated and pure.After dinner.Jay washed the dishes whereas Angeline and Baby Zetty went to the back garden to admire the flowers.Jay’s mobile phone suddenly vibrated. He took out his phone and saw a text message from his mother displayed on top of the screen. Feeling a little puzzled, he slid to unlock his phone.Madam Ares: [Angeline set me up, Son.
"Mom," he cried out anxiously.Madam Ares crawled up to him weakly and complained about her tragic experience with indignance. "I’m sorry, Son. Your mother has brought shame to the Ares family"Madam Ares attempted to win Jay’s favor by acknowledging her mistake first.Madam Ares then complained tearfully. "But I have my sorrows too, Son. Steven and I were childhood sweethearts. We even won our parents’ full support. With their support, I gave up everything to love him. But who would’ve thought that my family would go bankrupt? The Bells are a bunch of snobs and forced me to break off the engagement. Steven and I tried to elope, but our plan failed as we were caught and brought back here. They broke one of his legs, and in order to save him, I had no choice but to promise the Bell family to marry into the Ares family."I was left with no choice but to marry your father. Your father treats me kindly, but a thorn is always there pricking my heart. I cannot bring myself to love him wi
Jay had no idea how he got back to Garden Of A Diary. Although he desired to run away from this suffocating place, he still found himself back here for some reason.No matter how incompetent his wife was, he knew it in his subconscious mind that he still cared and loved her, wanting nothing to happen to her.Like a calling, love brought him back to Angeline. Despite that, he put on a confrontational expression on his face once again.When he opened the door of the villa, he saw Angeline sitting quietly on the couch. As their gazes met, his eyes were filled with a trace of anger, and she, a touch of guilt.He walked up to her, holding his white blouse in his hand that was now stained with crimson blood. He looked down at her from above.Angeline was forced to raise her head to look at his face. His mesmerizing face was shrouded in anger.Angeline’s countenance dimmed as she asked, "You went to the Ares family?"Jay was slightly taken aback before a self-deprecating sneer emerged
Furious, he released her and staggered away.He did not see Angeline when she fell stiffly to the ground nor did he see her helpless gaze as it fell on his straight, tall back.His words had pierced her chest like a dagger.“Angeline, I really hate living like a clown, like a pawn that everyone uses as they please and manipulated as they wish. I’m leaving now. You’re on your own now!"Angeline was struggling desperately trying to hold on to him and to tell him the truth, but she could neither shout nor move.She looked fixedly at the ceiling as she waited for this damn panic attack to be done and over with.As it happened, she had sent Baby Zetty away not long ago.She had planned to have a long conversation with Jay tonight.She wanted to dispel all the confusion he had but did not expect him to come home with a hostile aura. What was more, her body had failed her, putting her in this state of panic just because he sounded a tad harsh.Since childhood, seeing him angry was so
After hearing what she said, Steven gradually loosened his clenched fists.A trace of hypocrisy emerged on his frosty face. "Since you are injured, stay here and heal your injuries. I will make sure you’re treated fairly.”Madam Ares was pleased to hear that.After the servants took Madam Ares away, a flash of skepticism emitted from Steven's dark and sinister eyes. He turned his head and ordered his personal attendant. "Go and find out what Angeline is currently up to."“Okay.”The soft pattering rain lasted through the night until dawn broke and the bright morning glow shone from the horizon.The golden glow enveloped Grand Asia, leaving behind mottled shadows.When the bell rang, indicating the start of a working day, the bulky doors of Grand Asia’s executive conference room were pushed open. Participants immediately filed into the room.However, Angeline, the leader of this meeting, did not turn up.When Grayson found Zayne, he asked nervously, "Why hasn't Ms. Severe arriv
“Okay."Zayne sent a firm and decisive message to Grayson.Zayne: [Angeline can’t control or manage Grand Asia anymore. Figure out a solution yourself.]When Grayson saw his text, he surmised that something had to be very wrong with Angeline’s health.Grayson stood in front of the french windows while gazing at the rising sun with a dark and gloomy face. "Is God really going to bring Grand Asia to an end this time? This is definitely not what you want to see, right, Father? When you founded Grand Asia as a teenager, you said that you’ll only be worthy enough to stand beside her if you work hard enough to accumulate your wealth and climb to the highest social ladder. Grand Asia is a symbol of you and Ms. Severe’s love. Ms. Severe still loves you, so how can Grand Asia perish just like that?"Tell me, what should I do, Father?"After much deliberation, Grayson paced to the vast conference room.In the past, he would stand right next to Jay or even Angeline. As he stood surrounded
“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
