'Uh……' That matter had not crossed Rose's mind. Jay's reminder was timely; she indeed did not have any clothes suitable for upper society gatherings. She had been hiding at home for the past few years, doing her best to raise her children. That was why she did not need those clothes. Josephine was the daughter of the Ares family, and so her birthday party must be extremely lavish. The attendees should be all wealthy people or successful business owners. If she dressed in ordinary clothes, not only she would be looked down upon, but Josephine would also be embarrassed because of her. "Josephine, I'm sorry that I can't…" Rose's first instinct was to immediately decline Josephine's invitation. However, Josephine grabbed Rose's hand and did not let go. "You're my best friend, Rose. You're the only one I can talk to honestly after I've returned to the country. If you're not there, the event will be dull and uninteresting. If you don't have clothes and jewelry, I can give them to you
After seeing Josephine off, Jay returned to his mansion and went straight to Rose's room. He knocked on Rose's room door. Rose, in her black thick-framed glasses, opened the door and looked confusedly at Jay. "You're looking for me, Sir Ares?" Jay had been trying to avoid Rose whenever he could. Hell must have frozen over and pigs must be flying in the sky. "I'll pay for the clothes and jewelry you need for joining Josephine's birthday party. I'll also pay the penalty for any lost work. If there are any other conditions, you just have to list them." Jay's tone of voice was like a lord commanding his servant. Rose was a little surprised. Not only Jay loved his sons, but he also indulged his sister. However, he had no feelings for her. "Sir Ares, if I accept your financial aid, then I don't think I'll be able to face Josephine honestly. Don't worry, I'll definitely show up at the birthday party tonight. I'll source for the clothes and accessories myself. On the other hand,
The three children looked at Jay at the same time. Jay realized that his reaction might have been too petty and resumed his usual aloof temperament. "Don't you know? There are three classes of people. People from the top class give commands, people from the middle class obey commands, and people from the lowest class only know how to fawn and grovel." The three children were smart enough to know that Daddy was implying that Mommy was low-class. Baby Robbie was confused. "That's strange. Mommy isn't usually like this! Mommy says that we need to have pride in ourselves and conquer the world with our own capabilities!" Baby Zetty seemed to catch on to what her brother was saying. "I know!" She shouted, "Mommy must have fallen in love with her new boss! Yesterday she said that her new boss was the first man in a long time who treated her like a human." Baby Robbie gave his sister a side-eye. He was afraid that Daddy might be jealous and he shouted, "That can't be! Mommy said that s
"No matter how pitiful you might be, you must have a despicable side." Jay cast a disdainful glance at Rose and did not want to speak another word to her. He turned around and spoke to the children instead. "Go upstairs and get dressed. Daddy will bring you to Aunt Josephine's birthday party." The children cheered and dashed up the stairs. Rose sighed almost imperceptibly. Her eyes were getting misty. She closed her eyes to hold back her tears. She knew that he bore no feelings for her, so why was she still hoping that he did? Without that hope, she would not have to keep living in agony. Rose shook away the unhappy thoughts and left through the front door. Josephine's birthday party was held at Grand Asia Club. In the cavernous grand hall, the ceiling was decorated like the starry sky. A sea of blooming flowers adorned both sides of the red carpet. The guests were young and good-looking. They moved around in the hall holding glasses of champagne and wine, creating a pl
She sounded nonchalant as she said those words, but those words were spoken through gritted teeth. No one noticed the hideousness in her gaze. She hated Rose Loyle. If not for Rose, she would still be together with Jay. She wanted Rose to become the target of everyone's hatred and envy. She wanted to see how Rose would embarrass herself when the bunch of love-crazy women went after her. "Rose Loyle? Who's that?" The women were intensely piqued by the sudden appearance of a competitor. The conversation topic was shifted to Rose Loyle. Nancy was more than happy to introduce the obscure woman to them. "She's the ex-wife of Sir Ares! She is the daughter of the Loyle family, but it's rumored that she was raised in a mountain village and only returned to the Loyle family when she was in high school. It's no surprise if you've never heard of her before." Some of the women displayed disdainful expressions. "Oh, raised in a mountain village? That makes her an uncultured boor then!
Josephine hugged Rozette tightly. Her face was brimming with joy. "You're a good girl, Zetty." Jay's gaze fell profoundly on Josephine. Why was his sister so fond of Rozette? To him, Jenson and Robbie were the ones who carried the Ares bloodline. John came over and noticed the three cute cherubs. "Who's that sweet angelic porcelain doll, Jay? Don't tell me she's your daughter?" Jay ignored him. John continued speaking. "I don't think you've accumulated a lot of good karma from your deeds, but why is God treating you so well? Fate has granted you with Jenson, the genius. The cute and athletic Robbie then appeared. Now, you have another chubby and adorable daughter. Everyone is envious!" "She is not my daughter." Jay corrected him. John's gaze remained on Zetty and did not look away. Her face was like a soft bun, and her porcelain skin was so tender that it looked almost juicy. Her big eyes were like a rabbit's and were clearer than a mountain spring and brighter than jewel
When Rose got out of the car, she did not expect to be the focus of so many people. Moreover, she did not expect to be color-coordinated with Jay as well. When she saw the blame in Jay’s eyes, she did not know what to do.Josephine thought that it was fate that their outfits were color-coordinated, so she raised her voice and yelled, “Rose, you’re wearing a matching outfit and have a matching hairstyle with my big brother. You two are the perfect match.”Jay glared at Josephine and scolded her in a low voice. “Aren’t you the one who arranged this?”Josephine widened her eyes in shock. Her head was shaking like a rattle drum. “Big Brother, I’m as innocent as a lamb.”Jay looked at Rose with suspicion. Her clothes and jewelry looked expensive. If Josephine had not given her these, where did she get the money to buy all these?Rose walked over slowly and pushed back the mischievous strand of hair that fell in front of her face. This small gesture made her look extremely flirty.John
The party started.In the middle of the hall, the lights were colorful. They looked like pearls and diamonds. On the dance floor, the handsome young man and his beautiful partner danced elegantly.Outside the dance floor, Jay drank and mingled with the guest. The way he drank was bold and unruly. He also looked sexy and elegant. His entire body radiated the air of a noble prince. One would be mesmerized by him. Countless socialites were surrounding him. They were wearing expensive dresses and limited edition jewelry. They looked extremely posh.Rose sat at one corner. She looked reserved. Despite her best efforts to hide in the dark, she was dressed too beautiful today. Plus, her temperament stood out in the crowd. She was extremely dazzling like a shiny body in the dark. Occasionally, men would walk over her and invite her enthusiastically. “Miss, can you do me the honor of dancing with me?”Rose would reject all of them. “I’m sorry, I don’t know how.”It was not that she did n
