Grand Old Master Yorks became suspicious and asked, "What do you mean?"Jay tried to stay calm and replied, "It's just that the Ares family’s illegitimate children are quite opinionated about all of you staying in Tourmaline Estate. After all, you're not blood-related with the Ares family, and your staying in Tourmaline has stirred up quite the jealousy among the illegitimate children who aren't eligible to live here."Grand Old Master Yorks said, "We're in-laws with the Areses, so why can't we stay in Tourmaline Estate?"Angeline comforted him, saying, "After the hard time has passed, we'll come to pick you up again. Why not just follow Jay's advice for now, Grandpa?"Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Angeline with a smile. Angeline was always kind and straight with her words, unlike Jay who was never straight to the point. He had even wholly missed the intention of his question."Angeline, tell me why your Jaybie is trying to chase us out all of a sudden?"Jay was afraid that An
Cole glared at Jay angrily and scoffed, “Then why didn’t you live with the Severe family instead?”Jay took Angeline’s hand and patted the back of it while saying tenderly, “Because managing Ares Group is more profitable, and I need to make a lot of money to support my dear Angeline.”Angeline blushed bashfully and said, “I can’t even spend all of that money on my own.”Jay replied, “But I want to give you the best things in life.”Cole was utterly speechless watching this scene and snarled. “Go, go, go. You’re just here trying to show your loving affection in public. We don’t welcome you here, so hurry up and leave.”Chloe and Grand Old Master Yorks were both glaring at Cole in immense dissatisfaction. “We welcome them here!” The two scoffed in unison.Then, Cole reminded them, “Do you remember that he’s here to chase us out?”Grand Old Master Yorks pondered and asked, “JJ, are you trying to make us leave the Ares household at this time because you’re afraid that we’ll be dragg
Jay concluded, saying, “All of you need to leave. As for Judy and Sandra, it’s time for them to pay for their crimes.” When he said this, his eyes were filled with destructive hostility. Spencer, “...”He let out a sorrowful sigh.After Jay and Angeline left, Grand Old Master Yorks and the others were left dispirited. They sat still on the spot with their heads drooped down, utterly silent. All of them were clearly reluctant to leave Tourmaline Estate.Grand Old Master Yorks sighed and said, “Well, JJ is right. Although we’re in-laws with the Areses, we’re still not considered as Areses, after all. It doesn’t make sense for us to live in Tourmaline Estate for such a long time. Go, pack your things and prepare to leave at once.”Since Jordan was still an Ares and Fragrant Vesset Court was his property, there was no need for him to leave. Likewise, Chloe was not required to go as well since she was still his wife.However, Chloe was reluctant to part with her aging father, so she
“What’s your type, then?”“Why are you asking an obvious question?” Cole raged.Jay thought about it and said, “When Angeline is gentle, she wraps herself around me like a trumpet vine; when she’s tough, she protects me from the storm like a giant tree. At other times, she can be obedient, rebellious, and ruthless.“Sis Shirley may seem soft, but she knows how to fight for injustices. Her strong and soft character resembles Angeline.”Cole gnashed his teeth in anger. “You’re just making a forceful analogy.”When Jay noticed how stubborn Cole was, his smile froze on his face. “What about Dawn? Are you not going to think about your son’s feelings?”Cole frowned in agony. “I’ve already tried my best to bond with Shirley for Dawn’s sake, but no matter how many times we meet up with each other, I still don’t have any strong feelings for her nor can I feel my heart racing.”Jay asked him, “Does it hurt you to be with her?”“Well, no.”Jay said, “Not every relationship needs to be fi
Jay had lost all sense of reason when it came to loving Angeline.Anyone could bully, trample on, and humiliate Imperial Capital’s young master and he would simply strike back nonchalantly.However, if someone hurt or upset Angeline, then Sir Ares would go berserk.Cole was envious of Sir Ares’ love for Angeline.“Jinxing her marriage and life? Why do I feel like you’re that person?” Cole was always capable of turning his envy into an offensive attack to strike back at Sir Ares.Jay’s Rolls-Royce nearly crashed into a wall ahead. Jay slammed on the brakes, bringing the Rolls-Royce to an emergency stop one inch away from the wall.Cole was so frightened that all color drained from his face.“Don’t you know how to drive?”Jay glared furiously at him, saying, “You should blame yourself for saying all that crap.”Cole shrugged and laughed. “I’m speaking the truth. Angeline missed out on the golden opportunity to be with me because she chose you. If her marriage isn’t jinxed, then
When Angeline opened her eyes and saw Jay, she immediately let out a bright and beautiful smile.“I was waiting for you.”Jay was caught between laughter and tears. “You’re freezing out in the cold breeze. Hurry up and go inside. Don’t catch a cold.”Angeline stood up and walked inside the house holding Jay’s arm, asking with concern, “Grandpa and the rest are gone?”“Mm.”Angeline glanced anxiously at Jay. “Are they mad at you?”Jay turned to look at Angeline, asking, “Would you be mad if I did this to you?”Angeline grinned from ear to ear and held Jay’s arms tightly. “I don’t believe your nonsense. I won’t leave you. I’ll just pester you again and again. I’ll glue myself to you like a piece of chewing gum.”Jay’s face broke into a smile. “I love it when you do this.”Angeline then recalled something which wiped the smile off her face. “Are you really sending Grandma Boye away?”Jay nodded.Angeline sniffed and looked as though she was about to cry. She said, “I don’t want
“Angeline, I was there when she died.” Jay did not plan to keep this from Angeline because even if he did not say it, Cole, that flatterer, would.“Was the driver one of your men?” Angeline asked.Jay shook his head. “No. I don’t know the offender.”Angeline stared at Jay with a confused gaze, silently ruling out the possibility of Jay being the direct cause of Judy’s death.“How did she die, then?”Jay replied, “She was killed by her unrepenting ways and greed.”Angeline grew even more confused.Jay continued to explain, “I had an argument with Cole in the car so I pulled over right in front of a wall and got out of the car in a fit of pique. Coincidentally, I saw Judy standing at the road ahead, about to cross. When she saw me, she looked like she was put under a spell and forgot to cross the road. Even when the traffic light turned green, she continued to stand there like a wooden puppet. The drivers were impatient, so they began driving, shuttling back and forth as she stood
Jay turned his sharp gaze to Spencer’s face. Spencer shuddered and had a sudden premonition. “JJ, why… Why are you looking at me like that?”“Uncle Spencer, I want you to find a way to take Sandra home,” Jay said.Spencer shook his head vigorously. “Are you trying to kill me? I’ve finally reunited with your aunt and promised her to cut off all ties with other women. She’s definitely going to ignore me forever if I don’t keep my word.”Jay said, “Don’t worry, I’ll explain it to Aunt Crystal after that.”Spencer continued to shake his head. “No way, no way.”Though when he noticed Jay’s firm and resolute gaze as well as his unstirred expression, Spencer knew that it was useless to fight.Spencer said rather helplessly, “Have pity on me, JJ. I’ve lived half of my life and am finally experiencing love again, so how can you bring yourself to end my relationship?”“Uncle, just help me this one time. I’ll return the favor next time,” Jay promised.Spencer suddenly realized the severit
