Rose was indeed curious to know why Stephanie had set her up when there was no enmity between them.Rose glanced at Sean and said, "Wait here. I’ll send the children to the kindergarten and come back as soon as I can."She refused to go with Sean for fear that others would get the wrong idea about their innocent relationship.Sean said in a sour tone, "You think I’m not good enough? Are you ashamed to walk with me?"Rose replied straightforwardly, "I'm worried that the rumors will hurt the children."Sean was slightly startled after hearing what she said, and a strange feeling rippled in his heart.He was moved!It was definitely a blessing for the children to have such a considerate mother.After all, he had never felt such warmth from his parents since childhood.From what he could remember, his parents had just quarreled endlessly in front of him ever since he was old enough to be sensible. His dad was out working hard to make a living and ended up having promiscuous relati
When Jay came to Grand Asia, Grayson had already been waiting for a long time.He criticized in his heart that Mr. Ares seemed to be coming in for work slightly later than before!After Jay sat down, he immediately pulled out a piece of A4 paper, picked up a pen, and wrote a series of numbers on it.Grayson looked at the phone number and asked in astonishment, "Isn't this Rose's phone number?"Jay handed it over to Grayson. "Check it."Grayson put on a dignified expression. The president did not explain in detail what exactly he wanted him to check. Would he only be satisfied after he had dug up everything single information about Rose?Grayson held the piece of paper with the phone number written on it and walked out. He handed it to the cybersecurity department and ordered with great urgency, "Tap into the telecommunications network immediately and retrieve all information linked to this phone number."Grayson propped his hands up on the table and said in an exceedingly stern
Grayson was startled. “Oh.”‘Mr. Ares has always disliked attending all kinds of high-profiled banquets, mostly because he hates being surrounded by women.‘This time around, Mr. Ares barely thought to reject Sean Bell’s invitation. He must surely have a little ounce of respect for the heir of Bell Enterprise.’“You’ll need a dance partner, Mr. Ares!” Grayson brought it up carefully.“A dance partner?” An image of Rose flashed through Jay’s mind.She had waltzed with him on the night of Josephine’s birthday banquet, and he remembered them being well-coordinated with one another.“Prepare an evening gown for Rose Loyle.”Grayson was so stunned by his statement that his jaw dropped. ‘Mr. Ares gets nauseous whenever Rose Loyle’s name was mentioned in the past. Now, he’s taking the initiative to ask the latter to be his dance partner?’Perhaps this was the opposite of the saying that went, ‘familiarity breeds contempt’?“Yes.”“Does Mr. Ares have any requirements for the banquet’
It was Jay’s first time feeling threatened by the little thing. He stared at the little being provocatively with a cold gaze. “Baby Zetty, your Mommy wants to find a stepdad for you. Aren’t you afraid that your new dad is going to abuse you?”Baby Zetty stood up and placed her little hands on her back as she pouted. She walked toward Jay in an elderly-man pattern and looked up at him. She said in a serious tone, “My real dad doesn’t like me, and he doesn’t like my Mommy either. He beats her and scolds her often. Uncle Sean seems nice and looks like he has a good temper. If he treats my Mommy well, I’ll like him too.”Jay turned his head and looked at Rose. “Is she telling the truth?”Rose felt lost and hesitated… Then, she finally nodded.Jay frowned at her response. He never expected Rose’s second husband to have been such a scumbag.“Where’s he now?” Jay had a problem containing his anger.Rose was baffled as she looked at him, completely stupefied.He was the one Baby Zetty w
After the gown was delivered, Rose looked at the exquisitely crafted box and was suddenly dumbfounded.It was a limited edition Milan HY that would cost roughly ten grand.She would never be able to afford the damages if she accidentally soiled or damaged it.“I think it’s better to forget about it, Sir Ares. The gown is way too costly.”Jay stared at her with his eagle eyes. “How do you know it’s expensive?”Rose realized later that she had exposed something she should not have.“I guessed it,” she replied with a guilty conscience.The doubts in Jay’s eyes grew stronger, and the gaze he shot at Rose became somewhat more profound.“It’s not exorbitant. And it’s for you.”Rose looked at him in amazement.‘This fellow is willing to give me such an expensive gown? Perhaps the dress inside the crafted box isn't original?’Rose gently and cautiously opened the box. This gown’s gift box was ridiculously luxurious, even the pushbuttons were made of pure white gold.She was very fa
The Rolls-Royce was parked right by the door. When Rose stretched her hand out to open the door, Jay, who was rarely gallant, had extended his arms as well. Then, the two’s hands fell on the handlebar simultaneously.Rose immediately retracted her hand and looked at Jay as she trembled.‘Is he trying to open the door for me?’She denied the notion right after. This fellow was someone out of touch with reality and was a business tycoon. ‘Why would he open the car door for a nonentity?’Jay saw how defensive she got and felt somewhat frustrated.He had stood by the door for a long time, but Rose merely stared at him blankly. She was afraid to get inside the car without his permission.Jay’s hand was stuck on the handle for quite some time before he spat, “Get in.” His deep voice was blended with a hint of exasperation.Rose was dumbfounded once more.‘So he really wants to open the door for me? What’s up with the sudden sense of chivalry?’She scooted herself into the car, and J
The gown was dragged across the ground, sweeping it as she walked. Jay looked on as she left in pique and let out a smirk.Grayson felt distressed about the ten grand evening gown being hauled that way. ‘It was indeed destined to be laid to waste.’There was a smile in Jay’s eyes when he said, “Only a woman without vanity will trample on the good stuff I’ve given in such a way.”Grayson grew petrified as he froze.‘Is Mr. Ares boasting about Rose Loyle?’Why did it suddenly feel like the whole time he helped Mr. Ares out in mistreating Rose would turn out to be a self-inflicted sin and he would not live to survive it?He could merely hope that it was an illusion. Once Rose entered the banquet’s entrance, she immediately attracted everyone’s attention.Her beauty was extraordinarily exquisite, and the evening gown she wore helped her stand out from the crowd.Rose became the focal point of the whole venue without her realizing it. Her gaze merely scanned through the crowd for
Josephine’s gaze was fixed on Rose and Jay’s matching outfit. She quickly exclaimed, “You guys are wearing a couple's costumes. Are you Jay’s dancing partner today?”Rose was about to explain, but Jay extended his large pincers-like hands and grasped her wrist. He spun her to the side and strictly warned in a whisper, “The Bell and Ares are trying their best to make Josephine and Sean’s marriage happen. It’d be better if you don’t mention anything about being Sean’s dancing partner, Rose Loyle.”Rose had an embarrassing realization. If Josephine and Sean were a pair, it would be inappropriate to be Sean’s dance partner.When Jay noticed Rose’s awkward comprehension, the corners of his sexy and charming lips made a melodious arc.Josephine was still waiting for Rose’s reply, so Rose plucked up her courage to link arms with Jay. Then, she returned to Josephine’s with a smile. “Yeah.”Josephine immediately showed a beaming smile. “Big Bro, Sister-in-law, you guys look so good togethe
“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
