After hesitating for a while, he ordered his subordinates, “Invite them in.”A few younger men walked over. Their tone was not at all friendly as they said, “Let’s go.”Jay winked at Grayson and Zayne.Truthfully, Zayne was currently too afraid to speak. His footsteps looked somewhat unstable as he walked, and Josephine had to support him.Jay and Angeline walked at the back, and after entering the lobby, the intense warmth made Jay’s frowning brows slightly at ease.Spencer was already sitting at the top of the guest hall. His seat was covered with a layer of tiger skin. His falcon-like eyes continued to stare at Jay and the others.“Can you tell me now what message Ronnie has asked you to pass to me?”Jay stared at Spencer, his handsome face filled with dissatisfaction. “Is this your hospitality? Can’t you pour something hot for us to drink beforehand—”“I think you’re asking to get beaten up!” Carson jumped up.Spencer resisted the anger in his heart and said to Carson impa
Carson stared at Jay. He wondered where this man gained the confidence to be so arrogant and overbearing in Yorks’ stronghold.As if he had been possessed, he brought them over to the best guest room. Jay walked around inside and somewhat reluctantly said, “This will do.”Carson slandered him in his heart. ‘Sure enough, people are invincible when they’re shameless.’This guest room was actually the Yorks’ stronghold’s facade. It was a so-called facade because there were plenty of shoddy buildings in Yorks’ stronghold, but only this courtyard house had a hint of flashy feeling to it.It was an elegant courtyard with an inner courtyard garden in the middle. The furniture was carved from mahogany, which was very expensive. They should be very reasonably content to be able to stay in such a room.However, Jay was a wife-spoiling demon and always wanted to give the best to Angeline. Hence, he was rather picky in terms of rooms.After selecting the guest room, Jay instructed Carson aga
Cole said, “You said that about the last visitors we had. You almost dispatched our Corvettes. Ultimately, she was merely an ordinary businesswoman who wanted to further develop the Yorks’ stronghold with us.”Spencer replied in a weak, low tone, “That woman has numerous businesses and is considered wealthy even in our rival countries. Can she be considered an ordinary person?”Cole was not interested in arguing with him any further. “Among these six tourists, one is blind, one is sick, and two are extremely terrified. The remaining two men who appear slightly more useful are occupied with dragging along their useless teammates. What are you possibly afraid of?”Spencer thought for a while and nodded.After about an hour, Spencer was getting impatient with waiting and said to Carson, “Can you go and see if those weirdos are done with their lunch? If they are, then bring them to me. I want to ask a couple of questions.”“Yes.”Carson came to the guest room in the courtyard again.
Carson indignantly retorted, “Don’t fool around anymore. I’m warning you, hurry up and tell us the message Ron left and roll yourself down the mountain once you’re done.”Jay believed that once they were used, Old Master Yorks would genuinely make them roll down the mountain. Jay had fooled around with Spencer the whole day. Moreover, he had caused a very good-tempered man to start fuming in anger, so he knew that it was time to put out the fire. He uttered discreetly, “We were staying at the Flower City Hotel yesterday and were lucky enough to stumble upon Master Ron.”Spencer narrowed his eyes and uncovered Jay’s lies. “Our Ronnie is seriously ill and bed-ridden. He has minimal mobility. Did you perhaps stumble upon him in bed?”Jay’s eyebrows twitched at the thought. His uncle’s imagination was vibrant.“It’s a long story. We just arrived in Flower City last night and were feeling cold because of the icy weather here, so we thought about drinking some alcohol to keep warm. Who
Spencer was so furious that he started scratching his head. This man appeared so calm even on the brink of death. He wondered which demon descended from hell and possessed him. How could he be so brazen?“Ohhh, timid, huh? Since you’re so afraid of scaring her, then you’d better not yell when I skin you alive later.”Spencer waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately surrounded Jay and the others.Grayson came in front of Jay almost at lightning speed, protecting his master behind him.Spencer was stunned at the scene. “A martial artist?”His eagle eyes sank. “Capture them all and bring them to me. I want to interrogate them clearly.”The Yorks’ stronghold’s guards were all relatively young and inferior lads. Perhaps it was so they would be unobtrusive to outsiders. Grayson alone was able to knock them all to the ground.Spencer frowned and yelled about his unfilial son, “Cole, that b*stard son of mine. Didn’t he say that these six tourists consist of one blind pers
Carson ran past several strongholds before finding Cole in 48 Stronghold. Cole was holding a hip flask in his hand and was surrounded by a group of pretty girls.“Coley, when are you going to marry me?”Cole was slightly intoxicated. “Once the first queen of mine enters the door, I’ll marry all of you.”The girls giggled continuously. In their opinion, being able to marry a gentle, good-looking young master was a blessing.They did not care about whether or not they would be his first wife. It was because the lord would treat all his wives well and lovingly, so they were not at all concerned about statuses.Cole was lying on the long wooden bench, looking at the vast sky. The light in his eyes appeared dim.Perhaps he would no longer have a first wife in this lifetime?It had been three years now. Angeline must be harboring hatred toward him. Otherwise, she would not have ignored him for this long.“Once my first wife enters my life, you girls have to welcome her and serve her
Spencer scoffed. “You stinking brat, how can you say that? Your dad is old now, yet you’re persuading me to fight? Aren’t you afraid they’ll break my old bones? Are you dying to put me in a coffin?” Cole’s lips started twitching.“Someone who can break your bones hasn’t shown up yet.”Spencer retorted impatiently, “Stop the nonsense. Hurry up and tie these people up for me.”Cole looked at the mutilated pinky on his left hand and muttered, “I don’t want to fight.”Spencer was stunned.For three whole years, he had tried every means to force his son to fight. Either softly or harshly, and even coaxing and deceiving him, as well as intimidating and luring. However...Cole remained unbudged.It was as if he had turned into another person and abandoned martial arts altogether. He would stay in his room to read or get drunk all day. Spencer was anxious to see his son degenerate into this manner.Spencer glared at his son in disappointment. “Even if you don’t want to, you’ll have t
Cole was dumbfounded.No one in the 108 strongholds could hold off his father's attack. This man, however, had managed to do it even though it took him quite an effort to resist it.“How much strength did you use, Old Man?" Cole asked.He reckoned that Spencer had underestimated Jay and went easy on him.Spencer was too astounded to say anything.When Cole raised his eyelids and saw the awful look on his father’s face, he knew that his dad had spared no effort to launch the attack.Cole was losing it now.Now that a skillful and talented man had turned up in the Yorks’ stronghold, they had one choice only—spare no effort to destroy him."Carson, summon the Corvettes," Cole said faintly, "I think this courtyard looks a little strange and unfitting. It doesn't blend well with its surroundings. Blow it up."How could Jay not understand the insinuations in Cole's words? Like black and white, he and the Yorks family could not be fused together.Carson came back to his senses and r
“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
