Chapter 1434

Author: Yan An
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.

    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

  • Sir Ares, Goodnight!   Chapter 1438

    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

  • Sir Ares, Goodnight!   Chapter 1439

    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

    It was time for them to bid farewell.Baby Robbie had a lot to say to Jenson, but for some reason, he was so drowsy that his eyelids started drooping.His gaze fell on the glass of water on the bedside table. He then realized in hindsight that he had been bottled up like a turtle trapped in a jar by Jenson the moment he came home tonight.“What did you put in my drink?”Jenson sat in front of Baby Robbie, his voice sounding as melodious as a broadcaster—so gentle it was as if it had the power to heal heartaches."Baby Robbie, I know that you’re very skilled in martial arts, but in order to stop you from escaping, I put some cartilage-weakening powder in your drink. Don't worry, neither the biochemical glue nor the cartilage-weakening powder will last. Give it at most 48 hours and you’ll be free again.”Baby Robbie’s voice grew weaker and weaker. "Your battle with the military intelligence division will be over after 48 hours. You’re really cunning, Jenson."Jenson put Baby Robbi

    "Get up." Monster looked at the dazed-looking Sis Daisy, his icy face going back to normal. A trace of warmth returned to his ruthless voice. "Pour me a glass of water."Sis Daisy got up while trembling and walked to the water dispenser. She poured him a glass of hot water, then mixed it with some cold water before turning around and walking up to Monster. She handed over the glass of water reverently with both hands.“Have some water, Father.”Monster took the glass of water but froze slightly when he heard how bitter Sis Daisy sounded when she addressed him. He suddenly put the glass of water on the coffee table next to him and pulled Sis Daisy into his arms.“How can you bring yourself to call me ‘Father’? You refused to call me that last time.”Sis Daisy was flushed, but her eyes were abnormally cold. There was a trace of grievances in her voice. "I’m supposed to call you ‘Father’ since you refuse to marry me.""I’ll marry you gracefully after I destroy Doomsday and the Ares

    “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
