“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
Angeline walked out of the funeral parlor with the heavy-hearted Mrs. Yorks. Feeling both embarrassed and furious, she gritted her teeth and snarled. “I lived to this age for nothing. I can’t believe I was fooled by Spencer’s honeyed words and actually believed his nonsense… I must be blind…”Feeling uneasy, Angeline said, “I think Jaybie was the one who ordered Uncle Spencer to do this.”Mrs. Yorks was startled. “Why would he do that?”Angeline replied, “Someone from Fragrant Vessel Court died as soon as the Ares family’s mistresses and children moved into Tourmaline Estate. Jay is an extremely meticulous person. He must have noticed the unusual cause behind the car accident. Therefore, he wants to send Sandra home to look for a clue.” After a pause, Angeline said with a firm and determined gaze, “Aunt Crystal, why don’t you work with Jaybie to outwit the culprit with their own trick by pretending like you’re running away from home in a fit of pique? If you can fool Sandra, I bel
“Angeline, I think we need to take Grandma Boye and Baby Zetty away as soon as possible,” he whispered.Angeline could sense the urgency in his voice.“Okay. We’ll do as you say.”Jay looked at Angeline. Perhaps Angeline would only act up when it involved the trivial things in life, but during crucial moments, she would still choose to trust him no matter what. This dispelled his worries, making him feel at ease.Jay returned to Château de Selene and came straight to Jenson. They both had a private discussion for a very long time.“Have you found the culprit who released Sandra and Judy, Jens?”Before going to the funeral parlor, Jay realized that Sandra and Judy had escaped at an odd timing, hence he ordered Jenson to go to Fragrant Vessel Court to find the culprit who released Judy and Sandra.Jenson said, “I checked all the surveillance footage and found that one of the surveillance cameras in Fragrant Vessel Court was broken. It’s located at Fragrant Vessel Court’s secret ex
Baby Zetty was first stunned before she smiled and comforted her mother, saying, “Cheer up, Mommy. it’s not exactly a bad thing for me to leave Imperial Capital, actually.”Angeline thought that the weak and delicate Baby Zetty would cry her heart out when she learned that she was leaving. She did not expect Baby Zetty to accept the arrangement readily and that made her feel extremely surprised.Baby Zetty turned around and looked out the car window, staring at the passing view of Imperial Capital with a heavy heart. She muttered the words in her heart, “Goodbye, Imperial Capital. Goodbye, Brother Finn.”“Don’t you feel sad, Baby Zetty?” Angeline asked.Baby Zetty sounded extremely indifferent. “Yes, I feel sad to leave you, Daddy, and my brothers and sisters, but leaving Imperial Capital means that I don’t have to rack my brain every day to ask others about what Brother Finn is doing or to think of ways to steal a glance at him from afar… I can finally free myself from this tortur
Baby Zetty was slightly stunned. Daddy’s exhortations sounded extremely profound to her. It was as though his words carried a lot of weight.“Mm.” She nodded obediently.Jay finally eased up his taut expression and smiled at Baby Zetty. “Daddy and Mommy believe that you’ll break out of your cocoon and grow into a beautiful butterfly.”Baby Zetty was stunned once more...This was the first time she had ever felt Daddy’s expectations for her and sensed the hopes he was placing on her. She thought Daddy had long given up on her because she was not as outstanding and talented as her brothers.It turned out that she had failed Daddy and let him down after he placed his hopes on her.“Mm.” Baby Zetty nodded solemnly.Upon Jay and Angeline’s return to Château de Selene, the children began questioning their parents curiously when they did not see Baby Zetty.“Where’s Sis Zetty?”Angeline forcibly sealed the pain and sorrow of separation in her heart to say to the children with a smile
When Jenson brought Baby Robbie to Grand Old Master Yorks, Baby Robbie was immediately stumped.Jenson made a ‘go ahead’ gesture to his little brother. “Go on then, use your charm.”Baby Robbie then scrunched up his face as though he was having constipation. How could he possibly use his charm on an old man, one that was even his great-grandfather?“What am I supposed to ask him about?” Baby Robbie asked.Jenson whispered a few things to him, and Baby Robbie walked up to Grand Old Master Yorks.“It’s been a while, Great-grandpa. You’re getting more and more sprightly.”Grand Old Master Yorks let out a hearty laugh. “Hahaha, you brat. I’m sure you wouldn’t be visiting me for no reason. Spit it out then, what’s your reason for visiting?”Baby Robbie winked at Grand Old Master Yorks and said in a spoiled manner, “Great-grandpa, we’re here especially to visit you, and… while we’re at it, can we also know who were there in Fragrant Vessel Court the day Sandra and Judy escaped?”Gran
Jenson and Baby Robbie exchanged glances with each other with a startled look on their faces.Chloe looked at them and laughed helplessly. “I know you won’t believe me no matter what I say. Go on then, how do you plan to punish me?”Jenson said, “I’m certain that you released Sandra and Judy, but I don’t currently have evidence on whether you did it intentionally or if you were controlled by someone. Therefore, Grandma, we will probably need your help.”Chloe looked at the upright and plainspoken Jenson, calmly accepting his arrangements. “What would you like me to do? I’ll give you my full cooperation.”…Upon walking out of the Yorks’ villa, Jenson and Baby Robbie began chatting casually.Baby Robbie said, “I think only Yorks Stronghold has psychotropic drugs like that.“From what I know at the moment, Chloe is the greatest suspect for releasing Sandra and Judy.”Clues had led them to believe that Sandra and Judy’s escape was done by someone from Yorks Stronghold.Jenson fur
