"Grandpa Jacob, there’s no rush. I’m sure you’ll have time to cry later." Jenson's beautiful eyes carried a hint of viciousness as he said that. "What do you mean? Jenson, Charlotte was fine when she was still in Mammoth Courtyard. However, she died shortly after you took off with her. What did you do to her?!" Jacob shouted. Soon, all three of Madam Charlotte's children arrived at Mammoth Courtyard. When they saw Madam Charlotte's corpse, a great tremor overtook them. Jacob pointed to Jenson and said, "He’s the one who killed your mother!" Jasper, Jo, and Julia stared at Jenson indignantly. "Jenson, it's all your fault! It was you who invited the mistresses into Tourmaline, that’s why my mother became depressed..." Jenson gritted his teeth and said coldly, "We’re unsure if it was depression that led to your mom’s death. Why would you blindly trust your dad? If you had paid more attention to your mom, maybe she wouldn't have died such a painful death." "How dare you p
The Ghost members came forward to detain Jacob.Jasper walked toward Jenson and asked, “I’ve been meaning to ask you something. Jens, now that my mother is dead, how do you plan on distributing her shares to the Ares family?”Jenson looked at the look of urgency on Jasper’s face. It was as though his mother’s death no longer meant anything to him, and this only made Jenson’s heart colder.“Uncle Jasper, your mother’s ashes are still here. Are you not even thinking of giving her a proper burial before you mention her assets? I’m sure she’ll be bitterly disappointed in you.”A touch of shame flashed across Jasper’s face, but he quickly forced out the words, “You don’t get it. My mother’s greatest wish in her life was to protect the second branch’s assets. She’ll never allow the assets she had worked so hard on to fall into the hands of those who seek to reap without sowing anything.”Jenson said, “The second branch’s assets have been transferred abroad by your father, so there’s not
“Oh, is that so?” Jenson chuckled.His hypnotism would only be ineffective on one type of people, the ones who had no worldly desires and those with unyielding willpower. People like Jacob, who was blinded by greed, would never have the capability of resisting hypnotism.“Grandpa Jacob, is Faith your daughter?” Jenson went straight to the topic.Jacob nodded first… before ultimately shaking his head.Jenson suddenly plucked a few strands of Jacob’s hair and said, “It doesn’t matter whether or not you admit it. A simple paternity test can tell me the answer.”Jacob huffed angrily as he said, “Jenson, you—”“You and Madam Nephele started as the domineering president and gentle assistant. But the two of you must’ve been in cahoots from the beginning. After Madam Nephele gave birth to a daughter for you, she must’ve sincerely done everything to help you, right?”A touch of resistance flashed across Jacob’s eyes. However, with Jenson’s jade pendant dangling in front of him, he soon b
Jay's face was solemn. "It seems like the Ares family is simply overwhelmed with secrets. When your great-grandfather imprisoned your grandfather in the underground palace back then, I only heard of this secret when I reached adulthood. And the price for exposing this secret cost me my wife and children."Jenson was slightly stunned."So Grandpa Jacob's tight-lipped secret is surely another shocking news."Jay nodded. "It seems like I have to have a talk with your great-grandpa."In the evening, Jay went to the backyard to have some tea with Grand Old Master Ares.Josie and Zayne had arrived at Château de Selene's front yard to chat with Angeline.Their kid was eight months old now and had grown into a cute little toddler.Seeing the adorable Joseph, Angeline could not help but want to reach out and hug him. However, she was immediately rejected by Zayne."Don't carry the baby, Angeline. Otherwise, your wife-spoiling demon husband will come home and go on and on about me tortur
Zayne had enough insults from Angeline and Josie, so he went over to Jenson to seek solace.“Jens, I heard that you used hypnotism on your Grandpa Jacob today and made him confess to a lot of secrets that shouldn’t be told. Is this true?”Jenson replied, “It’s true.”“Is hypnotism that magical? How about trying it out on your uncle here? Let me feel the magic too,” said Zayne impatiently. Jenson walked toward Angeline and sat down next to his mommy. Then, he carefully placed his head on his mommy’s knee and acted coyly. “Is the baby nice to you lately, Mommy?”Jenson might be a ruthless tyrant in front of outsiders, but he was still a child when in front of his mommy.Angeline stroked the dark circles under Jenson’s eyes and said distressingly, “Your little sister has been very good. But have you been getting enough sleep lately?”Jenson sat up in amazement, and his eyes widened in surprise as he asked, “So it’s a little sister, Mommy?”Angeline smiled and nodded. “I found out
Jay said dubiously, “Do you truly not know Second Uncle’s secret?”Grand Old Master Ares shook his head decisively and said, “I don’t.”“Do you swear on your grave?” Jay asked again.Grand Old Master Ares huffed at his words.When he was about to raise his hand to swear it, Jay stopped him and said, “Forget it. I believe you.”Hence, Jay returned to the front yard with a heavy heart. At this time, Jenson was occupied with hypnotizing Zayne while Josie was interrogating Zayne enthusiastically. “Who’s the woman you love the most, Zayne?”“Josie.”Josephine was having a great time questioning him, so she continued without stopping.“So if your sister and your wife fell into the river at the same time, who’d you save first?”“I won’t save either of them. Both of them can swim anyway so they can save themselves. Plus, I can’t swim.”Josie, “...”Angeline was startled and laughed out loud.“What if your wife can’t swim?”“That’s not possible. I won’t change my wife.”With tha
Jenson’s grave and stern pupils shot a wise and distant cold gaze. Jay looked at his son and asked, “What’d you discover?”Jenson told him his deduction, “Daddy, Faith is Grandpa Jacob and Nephele’s child. But I simply don’t understand why Grandpa Jacob would allow his own daughter to be the Ares family’s servant instead of letting her become one of the Areses? Although Nephele’s identity is exceptional, Grandpa Jacob could’ve arranged for another one of his mistresses to be Fatih’s mother to cover up the fact since he has plenty of mistresses anyway.”Jay was a wise and farsighted man himself. He could instantly understand Jacob’s motive now. However, he stayed quiet without exposing the truth, waiting for Jenson to find the answer on his own.Jenson said, “Obviously, it’s because Grandpa Jacob doesn’t want Faith to become an Ares. I’ve been thinking about this reason for a long time now, but I haven’t figured it out. However, I seem to have a rough idea of everything. Before the
Even the Ghost members who came with him, Grayson and Storm, were secretly pondering upon seeing Jenson acting in such a way. ‘Perhaps when this little devil grows up, he’ll have an even more awe-inspiring presence than Sir Ares? Will he be oozing with deterrence?’“I know you don’t welcome me, Grandpa Jacob. Because to you, I’m your worst nightmare,” said Jenson as he picked up the cup of coffee in front of him and drank it unceremoniously. His movements were extremely elegant.Jacob was furious at Jenson’s arrogance. After all, he was still his grandfather while Jenson was his grandson. The lad was two generations behind him, but for some reason, this boy gave him an extreme sense of coercion. He was able to make Jacob feel his blood go cold. Jacob was also creeped out as if their ranking in terms of seniority had been reversed.“What are you trying to say?” Jacob asked with a guilty conscience.Jenson said, “I know that you have a secret you’ve hidden for decades. And this secre
“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
