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
Rose gave Jenson a smile that was radiant and reassuring as if she was telling him, ‘Don't worry about Mommy.’Jenson's nervous expression eased slightly.Rose suddenly stood up. Her eyes were as warm as the sun. With a burning youthful gaze, they swept across all the men there. At last, her eyes fell on John.She swayed toward John, swung her long arm over John's shoulder, and whispered, "Fourth Uncle. , dance with me and someday, I will repay you for your kindness."The reason why she chose John was that only by dancing with a man from the Ares family could she eliminate everyone's slander and attack on her.She did not have the guts to invite Jay. Even if she had the cheek to invite him, he would surely embarrass her by rejecting her in public.Everyone, including Jay, was stunned by Rose's sudden move.Of all the men in the room, she chose John, a womanizer. John was famous in Imperial Capital for his ballroom dancing. Would the clown Rose not embarrass herself by dancing
“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
