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
After a pause, Jenson said again, “Even if the relationship between a pair of husband and wife is bad, it wouldn’t affect a father’s love for his children. For example, my daddy didn’t love Rose Loyle back then. But it never affected the love he had for me.”Jacob looked at Jenson in horror. He felt that this child was so terrifying. He could see through the world’s ways in such a sophisticated gaze at such a young age.“You’re right. I do hate your Grandma Charlotte, but Jasper and his siblings are still my own flesh and blood, after all. I do have some affection for them. Even if that’s the case, so what? I still won’t betray Nephele for those three. Since you’re so well versed in worldly wisdom, then you should know that love is greater than the sky itself,” said Jacob.Jenson shot him a scornful smile before turning around to leave.“Jenson.”Jacob suddenly stopped him.Jenson turned around and saw Jacob’s mouth curling into a cold sneer. “You must be careful now, Jens.”Jen
It was as though if Baby Robbie could locate Nephele, then there would be hope for them to search for the missing Baby Zetty.Finn stepped forth and made a vow as well, “Great. I’ll come with you.”Jay merely waved his hand at them, saying, “Go then.”Once the children left Château de Selene, Jenson and Baby Robbie parted ways as well.Jenson said, “Robbie, I’ll need to restructure and reshuffle the Ares family after the collapse of the second family. I might be busy cleaning up this mess these days, so I’ll leave the matter of looking for Nephele to you and our sisters.”Baby Robbie said, “Rest assured, Jens. I’ll surely bring Nephele to justice.”Jenson turned to the Ghost members and said, “You guys follow me to Mammoth Courtyard.”The Ghost members nodded. “Yes, sir.”Hence, Jenson brought Grayson and the others to Mammoth Courtyard.Meanwhile, Baby Robbie took the Ares sisters and went to the Yorks family’s villa.Mammoth Courtyard.Since Jacob was evicted from the Ares
“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
