"Who's playing hard to get? You're the one who's been taking the initiative, no?" Rose was angry."Is that so? What about six years ago? Who took the initiative to climb into my bed?" Jay's enchanting voice blew on her face with his hot and humid breathing, making her inexplicably uneasy."I was young and foolish. I was blind. My heart was covered with lard, and there was something wrong with me. That's why I made that mistake. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't have made that choice. I would have taken a detour the minute I saw you..." Rose said incoherently.There was frost in Jay's eyes. He straightened his tall, straight body and looked at Rose in contempt. "Remember what you said today, and you better not have any funny ideas about me. Otherwise, I'll make you suffer."Rose drooped her head and murmured, "You're not making me feel any better now.""It'll be worse than it is now." Rose shuddered at Jay's evil voice, which sounded like the devil's death incantation.Rose g
Jay held Rose's hand and walked toward the center of the dance floor.The previously noisy hall place suddenly quieted down. Everyone’s attention was at the center of the dance floor.Rose was like a puppet being manipulated as she trembled and looked at Jay. When the music started, she was still a little shocked and stood unmoving.Jay frowned. He rudely took her into his arms and placed his lips next to her ears. He threatened in a low voice, "Rose, it’s fine if you want to embarrass yourself, but don’t bring me down with you.”Rose snapped out of it quickly. He was a public figure. Every move and word he said was under the microscope of the public. If they embarrassed themselves, he might appear in the news for days.For a man like him who had never lost a day in his life, would it not cost millions for him to lose face?Rose tried to focus. With the familiar music and familiar dance partner, she was able to put herself quickly into the right state of mind.Jay did not expect
That angered Jay even more!Rose returned to her corner. Her heart thumped violently, and it did not settle down even after a long time.It turned out that she could still do the waltz with Jay in this lifetime.The waltz was a dance that required the dancer to turn rhythmically round and round from beginning till the end, repeatedly.Was her fate with Jay the same as the waltz, going round and round?In another dark corner, the envy in Nancy's eyes was like a deep sea, quenching flames.She was Jay's actual girlfriend, but Rose had taken her place that day. She had to make her pay for showing off.Nancy turned around and disappeared into a secluded corner.After some time."Miss Rose!" Suddenly, a gentle voice interrupted Rose's reverie. Rose looked at the beautiful woman who seemed to have appeared in front of her. "What's the matter?""Miss Rose, someone wants to meet you. Please come with me." The woman's attitude was meek and mild.Rose did not know what her agenda was
When Sean opened his hazy eyes, he saw the pure and beautiful Rose. He teased, "Beautiful lady, do you want a taste of me? You know, with your level of beauty, you really didn’t have to go through all this trouble of drugging me. How am I supposed to satisfy you if I’m all weak like this? If you get me the antidote, I can assure you that I’ll give you a good time!” The Bell family's faces looked sour. ‘Rose is Jay's ex-wife. How can Sean try and hook up with her?‘Is he that desperate?’Jay was livid. Not once did he move his gaze away from the big screen. Rose would have been pierced into a sieve if his eyes were flying knives.'She tried the same trick and drugged Sean as well?'Rose looked at Sean as if she was admiring a national treasure. After a while, Rose’s lips curled up into a smirk. "I can tell that you must have done too many wicked things, and someone is trying to get back at you.”Sean's body felt weak, and his eyesight turned blurry. His cheeks started to turn red
"Well, if you want to die a humane death, then I can help you." Rose teased him mischievously.Sean was extremely speechless. "Can you put those impure thoughts away? I was just trying to ask you to pour me a glass of water."Rose was rendered speechless.She got up and poured him a glass of warm water. When she handed it to him, Sean eyed her with great resentment. "My hands are tied. Can you feed me?"Rose stretched out a hand to lift his chin and poured the water into his mouth.Sean choked so hard that tears flowed out of his eyes. He roared, "Are you even a woman? Why are you so rough?"Rose snapped. "You should be thankful that you still have water to drink. Don’t be so demanding."Rose continued to interrogate him. "Think carefully. Who drugged you? Why is she trying to hurt you? I’m the most notorious woman in Imperial Capital, so I’m sure she didn’t send me here to taint your reputation because she wants to find you a kind and virtuous wife, right?"Sean looked at Rose
Jay expressed his opinion on the matter on behalf of the Ares family. "I’ll investigate this matter, Mr. Bell. I promise to give you an explanation."He looked askance at Rose and gnashed his teeth. "I’ll deal with Rose too."The head of the Bell family said, "Please do, Master Ares! Just give her a small punishment as a warning will do. I don’t want anyone killed." He was gone as soon as his voice fell.Petrified, Rose yelled at the Bell family who was leaving, "Old Master Bell, I’m willing to accept any punishment from you." ‘I’ll go down on my knees. I beg you, please don’t leave me to Jay, this demon king!’Jay gazed at Rose and said eerily, "Come with me."Rose hugged the European-styled wooden pillar next to her firmly as though she was trying to mould herself on it and be a part of it.After taking a few steps, Jay turned around to find Rose still standing on the same spot. Frost enshrouded his eyes at once."Rose?" His voice carried the high pressure of a volcanic erupti
Rose's thoughts were muddled. She could not think calmly and rationally when she was in front of Sir Ares. She began speaking incoherently, "Her face, her nose, and her mouth are bigger than yours, Sir Ares..." Jay’s face was as big as the size of a palm, like a masterpiece carved out by the heavens. It was certainly not an existence that was superfluous.Unable to stand it any longer, Jay sprung up from the chair, beckoning to Rose by hooking his fingers.Rose shuffled over in a daze. Jay suddenly pinched her mouth shut with his pliers-like hands as his other hand grabbed the rubber tape next to him. He sealed her mouth completely."Since you lack the ability to express yourself, you should probably use your hands instead!" he exclaimed in a domineering, ruthless, and cruel manner.“Mm… Mmm..." Rose glared at Jay as she cursed him incoherently, "Jay, you b*stard, you sc*mbag..."Jay returned to his chair, his furrowed brows smoothing out. He took out a piece of paper and a pen fr
Jay was forced to shift his gaze to the portrait…Apart from her skillful brushwork, there was not one single merit in her portrait sketch. When viewed separately, the person’s facial features were that of God’s masterpiece, though when they were put together, the result could be said to be that of a scene of a car accident.This certainly did not reflect Angeline's standard.Jay shook his head, pushing back all the complicated thoughts in his mind.How absurd. How could a rough and shameless woman like Rose be the perfect and beautiful Angeline whom he had taught?Even professional art students would feel a deep sense of shame when they laid eyes on Angeline’s artwork.Taking a second look at Rose's portrait now, it was as if she was trying to draw a flying eagle with its wings outstretched but ended up handing in a drawing of a chick pecking rice instead.Jay figured that he must have hit his head or gone blind, or maybe he just missed Angeline too much. Maybe that was why he
“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
