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
“Do you really believe that he’s a scientist who studies genetic engineering, Old Man?"Spencer was awoken by his words and glared at Jay. "You almost got me, kid. Are you trying to drive a wedge between me and my son?”Jay was not interested in doing meaningless things like that. He was just trying to worm information about Baby Robbie out of him.When he saw the look on Spencer and others’ faces, it was clear that Doomsday did not have a habit of taking their captives home. If that was the case, it was highly unlikely that Baby Robbie was in Mount Pearl.Angeline's eyes grew watery. Now that her bubble of hope had suddenly burst, she could not help but feel immensely heartbroken.At this time, Spencer’s patience had run out. He ordered the Corvettes, "This man has a cursed mouth. If we allow him to go on, he will only end up taking it too far. Blast him into pieces.”Initially, Zayne and the rest were simply standing around watching Jay deceive both Yorks father and son, but
When Carson stretched out his hand to pull her, Angeline launched her ultimate move. She groped her way to Carson's arm, then rolled over him like a phantom snake to his back, clenching his neck deftly.Carson ended up in the same position as Spencer.They had underestimated the enemy!"This blind girl knows martial arts?" someone blurted out loud.Cole was astounded!Actually, he had been paying attention to Angeline the moment she stepped into the stronghold’s main gate.She carried a similar charm to that of Angeline’s, but both of them looked different. Coupled with the fact that she was only a weak blind girl, Cole did not think that she was Angeline.However, she knew martial arts and shared the same agility as Angeline. The question popped up in Cole’s mind once again. Was she Angeline?As Angeline was still weak, she was gradually losing the strength to restrain Carson. Carson took the opportunity to seize her wrist and lift her up before smashing her to the ground.
All of Carson’s prowess and swagger had seeped out of his body. At this very moment, he was just like a coward, running up and down all over the place to avoid Zayne’s fists.Jay let go of Cole's hand reluctantly. Instead of taking revenge, Cole rushed up to Angeline immediately and bent down in front of her, waving his hands in front of her eyes.When he saw Angeline’s unresponsive eyes, Cole's heart sank. He called out softly, "What happened to your eyes, Angeline?"Angeline resented all the disaster and sorrow Cole had brought her. She snapped, saying, "It’s all thanks to you."The joy and delight in Cole's eyes started drowning out little by little. Angeline was certainly not here to renew their relationship.She came to him with such deep-seated resentment. Why else was she here if not for revenge?He grew cautious. "You must be tired, Angeline. Why don’t you stay and have a good rest? We can always talk later.”All he wanted to do was escape—to escape the edge in Angeline’
There was also a wooden sign hanging in front of the bamboo house courtyard. Written on it was the name of the courtyard: Refreshing Breeze!Jay gazed at Angeline who was standing right next to him. It turned out that Angeline was like a refreshing breeze to Cole. Cole had been looking forward to her arrival and here she was at last.A refreshing breeze was something intangible, though! If Cole wanted to win Angeline’s heart, then he could dream on.Jay suddenly held Angeline's hand tightly, his domineering and possessive personality starting to kick in. It gave him a strong urge to merge her into his own body.Cole brought them to the middle of the bamboo courtyard. Jay and the group picked their favorite bedrooms and finally settled in.Cole said to Angeline, "Let me know if you need anything else, Angeline. I will ask the servants to sort it out for you."Angeline said politely, "Sorry for the trouble."Cole's complexion darkened. He could distinctly sense that he and Angelin
At this moment, the secret agent equipment he carried with him started beeping. "An infrared device is detected ahead." The young man pulled down the glasses placed on the top of his head, and suddenly, dense red lines appeared in his field of vision."Damn, are they that afraid of dying that they need to use such a sophisticated defense system? I don’t think even flies can get through this, right? Bad people never die!”The young man swiftly shuttled between the infrared rays, and after getting through the infrared barrier, the system beeped again. "Be careful, toxic device detected ahead."The young man looked displeased. "You don’t need to warn me about this low-level defense equipment. Don't you think you’re too noisy?"The system sounded extremely wronged. "Okay then. All the best."The young man sighed. "I need to get to 48 Stronghold to find that b*stard Cole before I grab the treasure. I must teach him a lesson."The agile young man quickly disappeared into the night.
Suddenly, the wall started shifting and a human-shaped opening appeared. With a leap, Carson jumped out of the opening.When the young man noticed that something was amiss, the wall had sealed up. Thousand Pounder started raining down on him from above. Then, at the speed of light, the young man bolted for the window.However, he was too far away from the window, hence it was almost impossible to escape from this distance. At the very last moment when the young man’s leg was out the window, his other leg was slashed by the sharp Thousand Pounder blades that rained down on him.He struggled to pull his leg out, and the injury on his leg made it difficult for him to move.At this moment, Carson switched on the lights in the villa.He was confident in thinking that the assassin had died from the raining blades.When he saw the empty bedroom, however, Carson panicked and punched the alarm system immediately.48 Stronghold’s Corvettes rushed out at once.When the young man heard the
“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
