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.âWhat 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. Theyâre neither pretty nor knowledgeable as your mother, and even their inner qualities canât 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.âJay looked contemptuously at him. "Well, why donât 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? Iâll buy them all."Baby Robbie looked at Daddy in astonishment. "Weâll lose money if we do this."Jay patted Baby Robbie on the head. "When has Daddy ever sustained any losses in business?âBaby 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 Iâll let it go for 200 million today. Also, Imperial Capital Grand Asia's jewelry designer will design it for you until youâre 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. Iâm sure you have friends or family members who are getting married during New Yearâs. What better gift than a gemstone?âThe customers remained unmoved.The scrawny old man said with a smile, "Mister, Iâm afraid only the young masters and lad
The scrawny old man sighed. "Stop staring, Judy.â The girl bit her lip. "Dad, heâs 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.âThe scrawny old man was slightly stunned. "Do you like him that much?"The girl replied, "I couldnât 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 Iâm 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 Godâs will, so why should I waste this God-given opportunity?âThe scrawny old man stared at Jay's departing back, his eyes filled with admiration. "Sir Ares is indeed a rare prodigy. Alright then, Iâll make a trip to 48 Stronghold.âJay 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.âHow did you do it?"âWith 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 Townâs 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 bedroomâs lights and started calling out, "Angeline."However, Angeline was neither in the living room nor the balcony.Jay dialed Angelineâs 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, âYou donât have to come tomorrow. Itâs useless even if you do because she wonât leave with you.âJay halted in his steps abruptly and turned around to look at Zayne, looking a little anxious. âIs she mad at me?âZayne 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, âWhere am I supposed to sleep now that youâre sleeping in my spot
After hearing what Jay said, Angelineâs anger dissipated greatly. She got out of bed but was held back by Josephine instead. âDonât believe them. We donât have keyboards here nor do we have durians. You mustnât be soft-hearted. Make sure you teach him a lesson or he wonât learn from his mistake. With the first time, there will be a second.âTherefore, 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. "Youâre actually kneeling down?âJay 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. Whatâs this performance about?""Itâs a talent show."In a flash of realization, Baby Robbie asked, "Are you going to demonstrate the self-help technique of untying a knot?âJenson said, "Thatâs the last step. I think Mommy will stop being so worried about you getting abducted by bad guys after seeing how skillful you are.âBaby Robbie was speechless. "Why would I get abducted when Iâm already so big?âHe 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. Iâd like to see how a knot tied by a genius like you will be any different. There isnât a knot in this world that I can't untie."Jenson wrapped the rope around Baby Robbieâs wrist, circling it over and over again⊠He tied a knot with every circle he ma
âMadam Angeline, do you have any last words?â The man showed Angeline mercy and gave her the chance to breathe in some air. Angeline pondered upon it for a while and said, âIn the past, I only wished for my familyâs peace and my childrenâs 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 familyâs business. I hope that Baby Zettyâs wish for there to be no more pain and suffering in the world comes true. I hope that Baby Robbieâs wish for there to be no more separations in families comes true as well.â The man was stunned. The gun in his hands tilted slightly. âMadam 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 didnât mean anything you said to me just now, right?â Angeline said, âIâm about to die. Why would I lie to you? Although Iâm from a wealthy family, Iâm also a mother. I love
Angeline said, âAlthough Jens is young, Whitty isnât at a ripe age anymore. Whitty has waited for Jens for so many years. She should get something in return.â Sir Ares remained silent. However, there was still an unpleasant expression on his face.Upon catching sight of the expression on Sir Aresâ face, Whitty immediately said, âDaddy, Mommy, Jens and I arenât in a rush to get married. Jens has decided to get married after having a stable career.âSir Ares seemed to calm down. Jenson stood up and told Sir Ares, âDaddy, Iâd like to marry Whitty.â Sir Ares cast a sideway glance at him and asked, âWhatâs the reason behind your decision to do so?â Jenson said, âI love her.â Sir Aresâ lips upturned slightly. Not only did Jensâ 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, âYou really canât keep your children by your side once theyâre all grown up.â 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, âAngeline, youâre still the best.â Angeline smiled and said, âOf course, Iâm the best. Thatâs because Iâm 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.â Sir Ares said, âAlright, stop teasing me. I got it.â 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 Andyâs 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, âAndy, Iâve always treated you like my biological daughter. Now that youâre getting married, Iâll marry you off just like youâre my daughter.â Angeline handed a set of jewelry, a bank card, and a key to Andy. She said, âAndy, although Baby Zetty is married, we didnât hold a grand wedding for her. I donât know how other families marry off their daughters. Since youâre a girl, youâll feel secure after having your own property. Youâll have your own freedom after having your own car. Youâll take the effort to dress up after having your own jewelry.â Andy cried tearfully, âThank you, Mommy.âAngeline hugged Andy and patted her back as she said, âDonât cry. You must come back often to visit in the future.â âAlright.â After Angeline finished speaking, Sir Ares stared and Grayson an
Whitney handed the envelope over to Andy and said, âMiss Laurel asked me to hand this to you.â Andy slowly opened the envelope under the sistersâ curious gazes. A red spider lily specimen fell out of the envelope.Tears filled Andyâs eyes when she saw it.The sisters all burst into tears. Whitney said, âI donât 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?âAndy cried out loud, âThis 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 donât get to decide how long weâll 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.â 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, âDonât look for him. Heâs all grown up now. We canât restrain him anymore. Donât 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.â Jenson stared into his mommyâs 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. âYes, mommy.â 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. âJens, youâve been busy every day lately. You must look af
Baby Robbie nodded sternly. After Angelineâs 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 fatherâs.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. âMommy, itâs all my fault. If I didnât blindly believe in her, she wouldnât have the opportunity to damage Tourmaline Estate,â Baby Robbie said. He was filled with self-guilt. Angeline said, âBaby Robbie, I know what youâre thinking. Iâm having the same thoughts right now.â âBaby Robbie was stunned. He glanced evaluatively at the weak and exhausted expression on his mommyâs 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 âremembranceâ. Baby Robbie fell silent after looking through the design plans.âJens, do you think that Iâve committed a huge sin?â He suddenly voiced out his thoughts. Jenson shook his head and said, âBaby Robbie, you didnât want any of this to happen. However, you shouldâve learned your lesson by now. You canât be kind to everyone at all times.â Baby Robbie nodded and said, âI didnât understand the meaning behind these words in the past. I get it now.â Jenson was stunned. After Baby Robbie left Jensonâs place, he paid a visit to Angelâs 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. âBrother, I heard that you havenât been in a good mood lately. I wanted to look for you since some time ago. However, look at the state that Iâm in. How can I go out?â 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.âI knew that you had a hidden motive when you moved into the Ares family back then. However, I didnât expect you to be so evil and have such a cruel heart at such a young age. Angelineâs love and adoration toward you didnât warm your heart at all. To me, youâre not just a traitor. You donât have a heart at all.â Sis Thirteen stared at Sir Ares in shock. Sir Aresâ scoldings seemed to help her better perceive herself. âYou hurt my father. You hurt my daddy. Thatâs why I steeled my heart and decided to take revenge on the Ares family,â she cried out loud. Sir Ares said in a harsh tone, âKarma exists in the world. Why would I hurt him if he didnât abduct my children? You donât have the ability to discern right and wrong. Youâre just making excuses for yourself. Do you think youâre being reasonable right now?â Sis Thirteen shook her head in devastation. âI only know that
