Knowing that Baby Robbie had made up his mind, Jay stopped persuading him.The two then arrived at the rough stone market. When Jay saw the rough stones that were in a pile, he furrowed his brows.Although he had a superior IQ and was invincible in the business world, he was bad at authenticating treasure and setting a price for it.To find a high-quality jade from this pile of rough stones was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack and sifting sand for gold.When Baby Robbie saw Daddy frowning deeply, he asked curiously, "Are we here to gamble on stones?"Jay nodded.“What for?" Baby Robbie was even more curious now. After all, the Ares family was rich and powerful, so if they needed gemstones or jades, they could just buy them at a shop.Jay replied, "Those commonplace women around your grand-uncle said that your mommy is dressed shabbily. They’re neither pretty nor knowledgeable as your mother, and even their inner qualities can’t compare to your mother, so who
The scrawny old man patted his chest and said, "The rough stones we have here are the best in the world. I say that to you while putting my reputation on the line.”Jay looked contemptuously at him. "Well, why don’t you show us how much your reputation is worth, then?"Jay pointed at the pile of rough stones and said domineeringly, "Open them all. I only want the best rough stone."The scrawny old man was dumbfounded."All of them? Do you know how much the rough stones here are worth?"Jay looked at the scrawny old man with contempt. "How much are they? I’ll buy them all."Baby Robbie looked at Daddy in astonishment. "We’ll lose money if we do this."Jay patted Baby Robbie on the head. "When has Daddy ever sustained any losses in business?”Baby Robbie was extremely puzzled. How could Daddy not lose money after buying all those rough stones?The scrawny old man hesitated. He eyed Jay suspiciously. "Do you have the money to buy them?""Nope," Jay replied.The boss was speechl
Jay looked at the remaining 20 high-quality jade stones, chose two of the most inferior quality suet white jade, and weighed them in his hand. Then, he yelled out, "A high-quality 2.2 pounds suet white jade will cost at least 50,000 bucks per 0.022 pounds in the market. This would cost 500 million, but I’ll let it go for 200 million today. Also, Imperial Capital Grand Asia's jewelry designer will design it for you until you’re satisfied with the finished product."Jay glanced at the unenthusiastic customers and said again, "I heard that Mount Pearl will start closing off the route down the mountain tomorrow and will not open it until the end of February. This means that these will be the last two pieces of jade you can buy before that happens. I’m sure you have friends or family members who are getting married during New Year’s. What better gift than a gemstone?”The customers remained unmoved.The scrawny old man said with a smile, "Mister, I’m afraid only the young masters and lad
The scrawny old man sighed. "Stop staring, Judy.” The girl bit her lip. "Dad, he’s the only man I love. Can you go and tell Grand Old Master Yorks that I would like to redeem the promise he made to us back then? I want to marry his grandson.”The scrawny old man was slightly stunned. "Do you like him that much?"The girl replied, "I couldn’t stop thinking about him from the moment I listened to the heroic tales of him fighting against Doomsday's Tiger and Wolf Armies. Now that I’m fortunate enough to see him, his outstanding posture and impressive talent have got me falling in love with him at first sight. I think this is God’s will, so why should I waste this God-given opportunity?”The scrawny old man stared at Jay's departing back, his eyes filled with admiration. "Sir Ares is indeed a rare prodigy. Alright then, I’ll make a trip to 48 Stronghold.”Jay later bought some new clothes for Baby Robbie in the night market, and when both father and son walked home, the sky had alrea
When the tree snapped, Jay still looked relaxed as ever.Baby Robbie was astounded.“How did you do it?"“With my brain." Jay walked away at ease.When the two returned to Green Plum Town, it was already midnight. After Baby Robbie pushed the cart into Green Plum Town’s main gate, he bid farewell to Daddy and returned to Cold River Park.Jay figured that Angeline was probably asleep by now, hence he walked quietly on tiptoes, afraid to wake the light sleeper. He groped his way to the toilet. When he was done washing up, he then groped his way to bed.As soon as he climbed into bed, he realized that the bed was cold. There was no one on the bed.Jay's heart sank. He switched on the bedroom’s lights and started calling out, "Angeline."However, Angeline was neither in the living room nor the balcony.Jay dialed Angeline’s phone, but it was switched off.Jay called Zayne and Josephine, but all of their phones were switched off.Jay grew anxious and rushed out of Green Plum Town
When Jay heard that Angeline was sleeping with Josephine, the gentlemanly side of him held him back.Jay turned around to leave when Zayne was heard muttering faintly, “You don’t have to come tomorrow. It’s useless even if you do because she won’t leave with you.”Jay halted in his steps abruptly and turned around to look at Zayne, looking a little anxious. “Is she mad at me?”Zayne nodded.Jay cast his mind back to the time young Angeline was upset. No matter how hard he racked his brains, how much wisdom he had, or the great deal of time and effort he spent, her unreasonable behavior was simply… a problem of the century. There was simply no way to coax her.Jay could feel the back of his head hurting.He changed his mind in the end and walked into the house instead of returning to his villa."I'm staying here tonight." Jay lay on the couch, pulling Zayne's blanket over him.Dumbfounded, Zayne said speechlessly, “Where am I supposed to sleep now that you’re sleeping in my spot
After hearing what Jay said, Angeline’s anger dissipated greatly. She got out of bed but was held back by Josephine instead. “Don’t believe them. We don’t have keyboards here nor do we have durians. You mustn’t be soft-hearted. Make sure you teach him a lesson or he won’t learn from his mistake. With the first time, there will be a second.”Therefore, Angeline lay down on the bed again sullenly.However, she just could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tossed and turned in bed.After God knew how long, she sighed inwardly and eventually got out of bed. She walked to the door panel and gently slid it open.Zayne was sitting on the ground, whereas Jay was kneeling down. They were leaning on each other shoulder-to-shoulder with their backs against the door panel. At once, they both fell at Angeline's feet.Angeline was astonished. "You’re actually kneeling down?”Jay looked pitifully at Angeline with a gaze as innocent as a tiny wolf pup, his eyes filled with a great sense of g
Baby Robbie, "..."Feeling guilty, Baby Robbie grew impatient. "Stop talking nonsense. What’s this performance about?""It’s a talent show."In a flash of realization, Baby Robbie asked, "Are you going to demonstrate the self-help technique of untying a knot?”Jenson said, "That’s the last step. I think Mommy will stop being so worried about you getting abducted by bad guys after seeing how skillful you are.”Baby Robbie was speechless. "Why would I get abducted when I’m already so big?”He would more likely be the one to abduct others.Jenson said, "No one can untie my dead knot. If you can, then this performance will be a success."Now wanting to be defeated, Baby Robbie stretched out his hands. "Go ahead and tie me up, then. I’d like to see how a knot tied by a genius like you will be any different. There isn’t a knot in this world that I can't untie."Jenson wrapped the rope around Baby Robbie’s wrist, circling it over and over again… He tied a knot with every circle he ma
