Then, Jay took the ingredients and walked over to the charcoal grill. He elegantly sat on the spare stool next to it and started focusing on grilling.On the other side, Josephine was holding onto the barbecue materials and looked like a diligent wife. Then, she said to Zayne, “Zayne, you’re weak right now, so go and get some rest. I’ll call you over when it’s ready.”Zayne hugged Josephine and kissed her on the forehead. “I truly am the luckiest guy for marrying you, Josie.”Josephine smiled more beautifully than a blooming flower.Zayne swaggered to the side to rest. He did not forget to boast about his position in the family hierarchy to Angeline. “Look at your brother here, Angeline. There are certain skills in training your wife. Don’t you think I’m amazing?”Then, he glanced at Jay and proudly said, “Isn’t Master Ares a prince who has the whole world in his palm? He still ended up having to serve the Severe family’s littlest snotface.”Angeline glared at Zayne and inquired,
Jay looked at Cole in scrutiny. Today, Doomsday and the military intelligence division were bound to have an upcoming battle. The grand old master and the patriarch, Spencer, were nowhere to be seen. They must have gone off to deal with the sudden circumstances tonight.However, this future heir to the stronghold was idly and busy shuttling himself among the beautiful ladies.“You truly are a spoiled little heir, Cole Yorks,” Jay said somewhat meaningfully. Cole’s eyes were filled with suspicions. Jay was usually quiet, and he would never call him a spoiled little heir without reason. Moreover, it was New Year’s Eve. Every household was occupied with the festivity and was enjoying the delicious food. He was not the only one idling about.Seeing Cole’s dumbfounded look, Jay called attention to something. “Where’s your little lackey, Carson?”Cole scanned the crowd for a while and did not see Carson anywhere. He was puzzled. “That’s odd. That guy would groom himself nicely every ti
Cole pursed his lips into a straight line… He was caught off guard and was indirectly hit by Jay’s little boasting session. He glanced at the smiling Jay, and Cole’s murky state of mind made him feel eager to cause mischief. He wanted to freeze that love-filled heart of his.“Who’s doing the cooking once you marry Judy?” He mischievously wanted to destroy Jay and Angeline’s perfect little love.Jay said with much confidence, “Angeline is the only one for me. I won’t let any other woman come into our lives and create trouble for Angeline. This is my promise to her.”Cole chuckled lightly. “You’re a bit too confident with yourself. And you’re underestimating the old man’s devilish schemes.”Cole wittily winked at him and said cryptically, “Look at what happened to my mom and dad. You shouldn’t be so blindly confident.”Jay remembered the scene of Spencer playing cards frivolously with his beauties. He sneered, “Are you comparing me to your father? We don’t share the same types of
Shirley smiled gently and calmly. “There’s no foundation to our relationship, Angeline. Forcing him to marry me has made things very difficult for him. I don’t want to overstep my boundaries and expect even more.”Angeline knew very well that feelings could not be forced, so she sighed heavily.The dancing circle’s music had turned melodious, and the ladies and men who were dancing in a circle while holding hands were letting go of each other one after another. They started pairing up in twos while the single girls and boys walked outside of the circle.Judy and her friends walked toward Jay and pulled him toward the center of the dance area. When the other ladies dispersed, only Jay and Judy were left in the middle.The other couples were surrounding them as they sang and laughed. It was as if they were the main protagonists for today.Angeline was on the sideline all alone, staring at her impeccable husband, Jay Ares, in the center of the dance circle.“F*ck, what are they doin
Angeline rolled her eyes at Cole. “Since you admire her so much, why don’t you marry her?”Cole said, “I did pursue her a few years ago, but it was an unrequited love. She has high ambitions, so only a man like Jay would be able to conquer her.”Angeline had no interest in inquiring about Judy’s affairs. At this moment, her eyes were focused on Jay. She wanted to know how he would handle the pouch that Judy gave him.A weirdly dressed older woman walked up to Jay with her crutches.She held Judy with one hand and Jay with the other. Then, she smiled and said, “You two have a marriage predestined by fate. From now on, Judy will be your woman.”Only then did Jay know the meaning of the pouch. He looked at Angeline from a distance and saw her little face fill with a sense of loss. Her beautiful eyes had also turned red.Jay placed his hand in his pocket and touched the pouch Judy gave him. He was filled with annoyance at this moment. He was wholeheartedly trying to evade her kiss ea
At the foot of Mount Pearl, the heroic girls were dressed in all-black attire with climbing tools tied around their waists. They were ready to go. Daisy glanced at Sis Iris meaningfully, saying, “Our goals for climbing up the mountain this time around are first, to clear the obstructions and bring Lil Fox back to the military intelligence division. Second…”She paused, then said, “Ready to receive your order, Iris?”Iris keenly replied, “Yes.”“The division is sending you to Yorks Stronghold on an undercover mission, Iris.”Iris was in a daze. “Me?”Going undercover required courage and insight. One needed to be bold as well as sufficiently vigilant and shrewd. Among the sisters, Iris was the most innocent and transparent—making her the least suitable for such a job.Therefore, all the sisters found the superior’s orders odd. Daisy had an obscure look in her eyes.“We are to obey the orders of the military intelligence division, so prepare to set off.”Very quickly, the 13
“Were you poisoned?” asked Jenson. Iris probably knew that her time was coming to an end. Once she pulled Jenson in, she uttered her last few words with much difficulty, “Baby Robbie, be careful of our foster father.”Ultimately, she took her final breath.Jenson proceeded to carry Iris on his back. Although Iris was the military intelligence division’s agent, since she knew of Baby Robbie’s nickname, it showed how close their relationship was. Even when she was on her dying breath, her warning to Baby Robbie also revealed how much affection Iris had toward Baby Robbie.Jenson could not abandon Iris because of that.At the very least, he could not let such a kind and innocent girl’s corpse be left behind in the wilderness. She would end up becoming food for wild animals.Jenson walked a section of the mountain road with Iris on his back. Then, he met up with Carson who came to help him.Jenson handed Iris’ body to Carson and ordered, “Carry her back to Green Plum Town. Tell my
Angeline hurriedly dashed out with a cloak in her hands.When Angeline saw Iris’ corpse, she was petrified.Jay was afraid that she would be cold, so he took her cloak and carefully placed it on her. He comforted, saying, “I’ll deal with the things here, Angeline. You don’t have to worry—”Angeline interrupted Jay and tremblingly said, “I know her. She’s Iris from the military intelligence division.”Angeline’s eyes were red in an instant, and her voice became choked. “When I was imprisoned by the military intelligence division and Jens brought people over to rescue me, she was the one who carried me out of their stronghold. She was cautious along the way for fear of me falling. I still remembered what she said to me. She told me that Lil Fox was a good person and that he had no choice but to treat me that way. She didn’t want me to blame him. She was a kind-hearted child. How did she…”Jay was choking with emotions when he said, “It’s no wonder Jens wants us to bury her. This chi
