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
“Put down the knife, Grandpa Jacob.”Suddenly, there was a commotion coming from the living room.Jenson glanced back at him with a deep, profound gaze.“Since you knew that this day would come, why’d you do it anyway?” Jenson asked.Jacob made the last effort to struggle, saying, “I want to see the grand old master.”“Put the knife down first, Old Master. Then we’ll convey your wishes.”Very soon, Grand Old Master Ares found out about the matters happening in Mammoth Courtyard.However, Grand Old Master Ares was very disappointed with Jacob’s conduct and deeds, so he was unwilling to see him. He simply entrusted Jay to step forth and make arrangements for Jacob in his stead.Hence, Jay came to Mammoth Courtyard instead of the grand old master.When Jacob noticed that Jay had come alone, he was thoroughly dejected and asked, “Where’s my dad? Why aren’t you letting him come see me?” Jacob roared hysterically.Jay said, “It’s not that we didn’t let him come, Second Uncle Jacob,
Jay said to him, “Don’t forget that I’m a hacker. The channels for the outflow of the Ares family’s funds have long been monitored.”Jacob started to panic. “Then the second branch’s assets…”Jay said, “Were you not transferring them out for Madam Nephele? Unfortunately, I intercepted them all. Grandpa said that Second Aunt has worked hard in the Ares family for many years, so she deserves credit for her efforts. Her share was left intact and will be rationed to her three children. As for yours, they’ll be confiscated.”All of Jacob’s efforts had vanished into thin air.“Jay, please. Give Faith something to survive on as well.”“Faith is not an Ares. So my apologies, I can’t lend her a hand.” After saying this, Jay decided to leave.Jacob sat devastatingly on the ground.Then, the police came in to take Jacob away.At this moment, Château de Selene was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.When Jay returned to debrief Grand Old Master Ares, the grand old master asked him, “Did he have
Jasper and his siblings were dumbfounded. However, Jasper clearly refused to believe Jay’s words and fumingly asked, “You’re lying! My dad has a lot of money. He can’t even use it now, so what else is he going to do with it if not leave it to us three?”Jay replied, “He wants to leave it to his illegitimate daughter, Faith. Also, to support all of his other mistresses.”Jasper and his siblings were dumbfounded once again.When she was alive, their mother had told them how heartless their father had been toward them. It was just that they never expected Jacob to be so wretched.Jasper and his siblings’ arrogance angered Jay, and he did not show them an ounce of respect. He snarled and said, “If it weren’t because of Second Aunt, Grand Old Master Ares would’ve evicted you three money-grubbing siblings out of Tourmaline Estate altogether.”Julia spat out the words, “We’re also members of the Ares family, so what reason do you have to drive us out Tourmaline Estate?”Jay decided to l
Jasper sneered and said, “Heartless? But are we as ruthless as you are? You killed our mother and tried to transfer all of her assets without even leaving us a penny. Dad, in comparison to what you’ve done, we’re very compassionate.”Jacob’s expression grew awkward and unnatural. “In any case, I still worked hard to bring all three of you up. You can’t just sit back and not care about me, right?”Jasper said, “How do you want us to care for you?”“The two million dollar fine is just a drop in the ocean for the three of you. So pay it up for me.”Jasper was indignant now and retorted, “Hmph! Don’t you know that Jay already knows you’re not a descendant of an Ares? Now the three of us don’t know how much longer we’re allowed to stay in the Ares household. We need to keep some money for emergencies.”“Jasper... How could you be so ruthless…?”Julia said with tears in her eyes, “Stop it. Don’t argue anymore. Two million isn’t a lot for us, Brother. Let’s just divide it equally.”Jas
