“You’d lose for sure.”“Should we leave? It’d be embarrassing if you lost, Big Brother. Let’s just let him have this round and we’ll step back, shall we?”However, Mr. Cornelius abruptly kicked Jenson off the ring at that moment. If it were not for the ropes supporting him, Jenson would have fallen flat to the ground. If he did, it would have been a loss.His classmates looked awkwardly at Jenson who had fallen in front of them and comforted, saying, “Jens, it doesn’t matter if you lose. You’ll still be our big brother.”“Yeah. You’ll be our leader forever in this lifetime.”Jenson’s handsome face showed a determined sneer. Then, he continued, “Who said that I’ll lose?” At that second, he pulled the rope hard and a miracle appeared. All of the ropes in the ring moved swiftly, akin to a butterfly effect. Almost in the blink of an eye, Mr. Cornelius was tied up by the ropes like a roasted chicken and hung high in the air.Jenson was quickly bounced back into the ring by the m
“I’ll return the book to her in one piece…”Before he could finish his sentence, Mr. Cornelius refused and said, “A leaked secret book is no longer a secret book for the Cornelius family. Take it. That way, the 100 whips that Whitney endured would not be in vain.”Jenson felt guilty and muttered, “I am the one at fault.”Mr. Cornelius continued, “She asked me to tell you that when she can’t be by your side in the future, you must take good care of yourself.”Jenson quietly nodded his head. “Okay.”Jenson got his graduation certificate from Legendary Youth Academy and immediately rushed to Legendary Airport.The students had already lined up at the road beside the airport entrance. With his classmates sending him off, Jenson boarded the only means of transportation between the Legendary Youth Academy and the outside world.“Goodbye, Big Brother.” Dan and his classmates waved goodbye at him.Jenson stood at the airplane window and looked back at the academy.He had always rega
Master Severe snorted coldly before turning and leaving.Anne pulled her suitcase along and left decisively. In Imperial Capital, Bell Enterprise.When Anne came to the Bell family’s courtyard and saw the atmosphere there, she thought about how Sera was the Bells’ flesh and blood. She was a little proud as her adoptive mother. The Bells’ servants brought her straight to Sera who was looking at Anne with contempt.“Why are you here looking for me?” Sera asked even though she was well aware of the reason.Anne’s slightly aged yet charming face managed to squeeze out an awkward smile, but it was transient. Then, Anne tried to flatter her by saying, “Sera, Mom came here today bringing you good news.”Sera looked at her somewhat suspiciously. “Tell me.”“Angeline’s in a critical condition,” Anne continued, “She can’t even take care of herself anymore. All she does every day is curl up on her bed, not talking to anyone and crying her eyes out. In my opinion, she’s completely paraly
After Marilyn left Jay, she moved into the sizable luxury condominium that Angeline had gifted to her—the Southern Memoir. Jay’s abrupt visit utterly made Marilyn dumbfounded when she laid her eyes on him.“Ben…” As soon as she uttered the name, she remembered that he had gained his memory back and respectfully changed her words. “Master Ares, why are you here?”Jay remained expressionless, but there was a natural resistance when he spoke, “Marilyn, take me to the place where my accident happened.”Marilyn was stunned as she nodded. “Alright.”She carried Tiger and went downstairs with Jay.After half an hour, Jay and Marilyn appeared in Tourmaline Estate.The once magnificent Tourmaline Estate had now turned to ashes. The newly developing manor was now progressing slower than a turtle’s pace. After three full years, only the rudiments of Tourmaline could be seen.Jay looked at Marilyn suspiciously. “You found me wounded here?”Marilyn shook her head. “I passed by the Areses’
At this moment, Tiger suddenly started to cry. “Mommy, I want to get out of the car. Let me get out of the car.”Marilyn had always been impatient in handling her child. In this situation, she would merely smack the back of her child’s head and exclaim, “Why are you crying? You’re not allowed to cry!”Tiger rolled down from her and ran to Jay. “Daddy!”Marilyn’s face turned pale in fright. Jay was no longer the gentle and considerate Ben that they knew before. Moreover, he knew that Tiger was not his child, so there was no reason for him to be kind toward him.As expected, Jay responded with a straight face, “Go back to your mommy.”Tiger was frightened upon hearing his cold voice and cried even harder.Tiger’s wailing was filling up the whole car, and it was irritating everyone inside.The young man suddenly pulled Tiger over. “Come here, Big Brother will play with you.”Then, the youngster took out a pocket watch from his chest and waved it in front of Tiger. Before long, Tig
Jay dumbfoundedly looked at the young man with a fixated gaze.The youngster responded, “The story was touching.”Jay drooped his eyelashes. ‘So the story merely moved him.’It had been more than three years since the accident took place, so there were barely any traces left.Jay was determined to search the area Marilyn pointed at and was still hoping for an unexpected gain.There were barren mountains and ridges everywhere, except for a single mountain road. Weeds, thorns, trees, and shrubs surrounded the whole area. Searching for remains from an accident that took place three years ago was no easy task.However, all hard work would eventually pay off.The youngster managed to stumble upon a necklace in the field of grass—a skull necklace. The young man lifted the necklace as Sera sneered, “That thing looks like it came from a street vendor. People like Master Ares would definitely not wear such a juvenile and cheap item.”The youngster held the necklace tightly in his palm
Jay and Sera both looked at the teenager. Sera sneered at him and said, “Isn’t that just a zircon necklace? If you like it so much, I’ll give you a bunch later.”The young man ignored her and continued to polish the necklace until it was as good as new.Sera looked at the gleaming chain and felt somewhat flabbergasted. The necklace had been buried in soil for three years and could still glow with such a radiant color, which showed that it was actually of great value.The youngster held the necklace in his palm and suddenly pulled Jay’s hand over. He placed it in Jay’s palm and said, “Keep it for me.”Jay was slightly startled.Sera looked at the weird boy suspiciously. “Hey, where are you from? What’s your name?”The boy ignored her and leaned back against the chair again, closing his eyes to rest.Jay looked at the skull necklace in his hand, and his gaze turned from suspicious to surprise when a strange voice inexplicably penetrated his mind. “Angeline, you can’t die. I won’t
“Rose was neither beautiful nor smart, but I fell in love with her at first sight?” Jay frowned and was scrutinizing Madam Loyle’s expression.Madam Loyle did not expect Jay to see through such a subtle hint. She quickly tried to change her words. “I don’t know whether or not you fell for her, but I know that you truly did marry her. I still have the video from your wedding day.”It was as if she had prepared it in advance because as soon as she said this, Madam Loyle picked up the remote and turned on the TV. The video of Jay and Rose getting married immediately appeared on the screen.On the screen, there was not a single trace of a smile on Jay’s face even though he was the groom. His whole body seemed to have been engulfed in an iceberg. However, the bride, Rose, was beaming as if she was filled with happiness. Jay questioned them, “Was she truly the bride I chose?”Rose had a common-looking face that barely anyone would call beautiful. He could not bring himself to feel anyt
“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
