“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
“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
