Jenson loved his daddy to death, so it was natural for him to defend his father. “If Daddy is muddle-headed and incompetent, I’m afraid your Yorks Stronghold would’ve burned to the ground by the military intelligence division by now.”Chloe Yorks was in a pique after hearing these words. “Doomsday has the sky barrier, Zechariah as the patron saint, and the invincible Tiger and Wolf Armies. If the military intelligence division even dares to provoke Doomsday, that’s just them attempting the impossible and digging their own graves.”Chloe had scarred Jenson when he was younger, causing him to develop severe social anxiety. Hence, in Jenson’s subconscious mind, he did not have much affection for this grandmother anyway.Jenson decided to splash Chloe with the cold truth in a ruthless manner. “Mount Pearl’s sky barrier has long been breached by the military intelligence division’s 13 challengers. Oh, and your old Master Zechariah who’s supposedly Yorks Stronghold’s patron saint, I never
“As long as we emerge victorious in the battle of Mount Pearl, we can cut off the rear support for the Tiger and Wolf Armies and come back to clean up those Tiger and Wolf Armies that are in desperate straits. It’d be like sparing no effort at all,” someone else chimed in, agreeing.Monster nodded. “This is an excellent strategy. Go and prepare for it immediately and wait for the next order.”Mount Pearl.The inevitable battle was imminent. In response to Jay’s call, Grand Old Master Yorks issued an order requesting that all the elderly, weak, women, and children of all households in York Stronghold hide in Mount Pearl’s underground safe passages. They were prepared to be transferred to another place. Only the young and middle-aged males who practiced martial arts in each household would stay behind. This could help in confusing the enemies.This meant that every household was facing the difficulty of being separated from their relatives. The women were reluctant to be apart from t
Zayne whimpered. He was highly dissatisfied with Jay’s little arrangement. In Zayne’s view, the patriarch would have sent someone to personally escort the elderly, weaker women, and children to safe passage. The real battlefield was outside, and he was a man. Men should be willing to sacrifice themselves on the battlefield.Angeline was also dissatisfied with Jay’s arrangement. She took Jay’s hand and said somewhat coquettishly, “You said we wouldn’t be separated, Jaybie.”Knowing that he was a clever and eloquent speaker, Angeline deliberately emphasized, “No matter what.”Jay held Angeline’s tender hand and placed it on his chest. His smile was warm and charming as he said, “Of course, we won’t be separated. It’s only temporary, Angeline.”Angeline had a pitiful expression on her face as if her eyes were about to well up with tears. “I don’t want to, even if it’s temporary. I have to be with you this time.”Jay’s heart was stirred into a mess by her crying coquettish voice. He p
Jay pinched her face. “Very smart.”Angeline agreed with this plan. “If the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law is harmonious, it’ll at least help the couple develop their relationship further.”However, Angeline started frowning and said with worry, “But many of my friends don’t have a good relationship with their mothers-in-law. They would always nitpick and say that the girls are not worthy of their sons. Furthermore, the daughters-in-law would always ignore the in-laws. This conflict between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law is the intangible cultural heritage that’s affecting everyone. Is your eldest aunt easy to get along with? She shouldn’t try to find faults in Sis Shirly for no reason.”Jay smiled and said, “If you, the little cutie who everyone loves, is around to help out Sis Shirley and with Sis Shirley’s gentle temperament, I’m sure Eldest Aunt will like her.”Angeline was confident enough to cheer for herself as she said, “Bring it on!”J
Cole slapped the back of Carson’s head and said in a pique, “What are you talking about? Believe it or not, I’ll beat you up.”Angeline lent an arm to support Sis Shirley, and when Time Villa was behind them, Angeline sighed resentfully. “Did Cole say anything to you at all, Sis Shirley?”Josephine chimed in, “Although it’s not like we’re on the verge of life or death, there are unknown factors in the separation this time around. Even if Cole doesn’t fancy you, shouldn’t he at least care about the child in your belly?”Jay replied emotionally, “He’ll regret it.”Like the way he initially treated Rose, he thought that he could trample on the other party as he wished just because he did not love her. Ultimately, he discovered he had already carved her deeply into his bones.Now, he deeply regretted how he had deserted her previously.Sis Shirley sighed heavily. “Forcing things will never give us the best result, so there’s no point in trying to force him.”While talking, they ha
Spencer proceeded to walk outside angrily.It was just that he could not help but continue to worry about Mrs. Yorks. As he was leaving, his footsteps were slow and heavy. He would turn his head back and forth after a few steps. The feeling of reluctance was oozing from his body.Jay’s expression showed a smile full of ridicule. His uncle indeed still had some feelings for his aunt. However, his love was no longer considered pure as the mistresses by his uncle’s side had long annihilated her aunt’s desire for love.One was as passionate as fire while the other was as indifferent as ice. A person he once loved had chosen such a path. Jay could only wring his hands and sigh.At the same time, he quietly rejoiced that the person he met was Angeline because Angeline loved him more than her own life. Even if he made a mistake, Angeline would still accept him.Moreover, he was fortunate that the mistakes he made did not include his uncle’s most emotionally derailing mistake—cheating.W
Mrs. Yorks stood up and sighed. “It’s already challenging for people who love each other, let alone for those two who have no feelings toward one another. Jay, don’t you know forced affections will never end up well?”Jay said embarrassedly, “This is Sis Shirley’s decision, and my Angeline wants to support her big sister. I cannot disobey my wife’s intention.”Mrs. Yorks smiled and said, “If that’s the case, then I’ll be doing you a favor. I truly want to see how smart and sensitive of a woman Angeline truly is. What kind of method is she using to keep a man like you firmly attached to her side? I’ve lived a long life now, but I think I have a lot to learn from her.”After she said those words, she finally stepped outside.From the beginning till the end, she had not batted an eyelid toward Spencer.When Jay walked toward Spencer, Spencer gave him a thumbs up.Jay said, “Uncle, you’ve thoroughly broken her heart. I’d like to give you a piece of advice. You should hurry up and cha
When Cole heard that his mother was unwilling to leave the parish hall, he rushed over to persuade his mother in a hurry. However, when he got there, he witnessed the scene of his mother voluntarily leaving after talking with Jay.Cole was utterly bowled over by Jay’s talents.Jay was not only victorious in pursuing Angeline, but he had even persuaded his father and mother to let go of their previous enmity. The result was even much more significant than what he had done as a son.A sense of frustration washed over him from Jay always being more competent than him.Jay caught a glimpse of Cole and Carson behind the bluestone. A charming smile appeared on the corner of his lips.Carson immediately felt a sense of his death and life already being predestined by Jay. He held his shoulders as they trembled.“Come out,” Jay’s voice sounded with an imposing, high-ranking tone. Cole and Carson came out from behind the bluestone and looked at Jay with restrained fear.Jay leisurely sa
