"No, Swallow City."“Why did President Severe come all the way here? Why didn’t you start your business somewhere closer to home?” Rose Loyle asked.“I wanted to transfer the crisis of my family business… ” Before Zayne had a chance to finish, Francis started coughing continuously.Zayne quickly changed the topic. "I want to build an empire of my own."“Is President Severe married?”“Not yet.”“Aren’t your parents anxious?”“No, but my grandfather is. He’s so anxious that he fell ill.”When Rose heard that her grandfather was sick, there was a slightly dumbfounded look in her eyes.Her grandfather had always been strong and healthy. Why did he suddenly fall ill?“Is the old man okay?” she asked worriedly.Francis glanced at her from the rearview mirror, assessing Rose’s every move. Her concern for Old Man Severe seemed genuine.Zayne suddenly became crestfallen and said gloomily, “Ever since my younger sister passed away, the old man fell ill from all the grief. He hasn't b
Zayne Severe and Francis Greene let down their guards.Even if it was Jay Ares, he was just Rose Loyle’s ex-husband. It was all in Rose’ past. At least it would prove that Rose and Sir Ares’ relationship was fractured.However, this idea was quickly overturned.When the three of them walked out after their meal, they saw Jay’s Rolls-Royce parked by the road outside the hotel. Jay opened the car door and stepped out, walking toward them loftily.Zayne clenched his fists. The blood strands in his eyes seemed to be dyed red, shining with a demonic glint.“Jay Ares.” He gritted his teeth.Jay walked over, his cold gaze meeting Zayne’s vicious one. He drawled, “It has been a while, Zayne Ares.”After greeting Zayne, Jay turned to Rose and said, “I’m here to bring you home.”Rose was flattered. “I can go home myself.”Zayne suddenly lost his mind. He threw the drink in his hand onto the ground and roared at Rose. “Didn’t you say that he's your ex-husband? Why are you still living to
To help Zayne Severe, Rose Loyle was willing to cut off her ties with Jay Ares.“Rose, you have to think this through. If you leave the Ares house, you'll never be able to see your son again.” Jay threatened her.Rose tried her hardest to stop her tears from overflowing. She felt very conflicted.She felt sorry for her brother and grandfather. At that moment, Rose could only think about repenting for the hurt that she had brought upon the Severe family.She said pitifully, “Is this not what you want?”Jay, who had initially come here in high spirits just to join the ruckus, became enraged upon hearing her words. He said angrily, “You’re willing to abandon your son for this useless job? Is that it?”Rose looked at him, her tears now streaming down her face. “If I wanted my son, would you give him to me? If I fought with you, wouldn’t it still be pointless? I might as well just give up now and do something useful.”Her troubled expression made Jay swallow all his bitterness.He u
Rose stared at the anxious and depraved Zayne with reddened eyes. Zayne’s hatred toward Jay Ares was as deep as her love for him.It could not be changed.She walked up to Zayne slowly and said softly, “President Severe, I'm grateful for your help during my time of need. In the future, if Eminent Honor ever encounters any technical issues, you can contact me at any time. Don't worry, as a hacker it's my professional ethic to not reveal my client's secrets. I won't leak any of Eminent Honor's data. Also…”Rose suddenly stood up on her tiptoes and positioned her lips next to Zayne's ear. It was a gesture that seemed extremely intimate. "Be careful of the Bell family of Imperial Capital's Four Great Aristocratic Families."Zayne looked taken aback. “Are you trying to cause a rift between us?”Rose felt helpless against her brother’s suspicions.“Just be cautious of them. Time will prove my innocence.” As soon as she said that, Rose took a step back and increased the distance between
When Jay Ares did not succeed in consoling her, he became surprisingly angry. “Rose Loyle, know your boundaries.”Rose stared at him, gulped, and said timidly, “I didn’t beg you to help me though?”Jay completely gave up on her. “I can’t be bothered with you.”After that, the atmosphere in the car turned icy.The two of them did not speak. When Grayson saw that the president was unhappy, he quickly turned on the music, hoping to adjust the atmosphere.The song was from Angeline Severe’s concert. Jay and Rose were already giving each other the cold shoulder. When he suddenly heard Angeline's voice, Jay felt a surge of anger rise within him. This ignorant fool. He barked at Grayson, "Turn it off."Rose stared at the grumpy Jay, thinking that she was infatuated with him, yet he could not even stand to hear the sound of her voice. She suddenly felt like they were standing on two opposite ends of the earth.“I want to hear it.” She protested softly.Jay stared at her. After seeing t
At the entrance of the villa, there were two bodyguards in suits and sunglasses. They were like two green pines, standing motionlessly on both sides of the door.Rose walked up to the entrance and was shocked to see the two bodyguards.She recognized them. They were the Ares family’s main bodyguards. They would usually follow Grand Old Master Ares wherever he went.If Grand Old Master Ares was visiting, something big must have happened.Rose hesitated whether or not to enter. Very soon, Jay Ares had caught up to her. When he saw the two bodyguards, he furrowed his brows unconsciously. “I don’t think I’ll go in, Sir Ares.” Rose turned and headed toward the garden to her right, but Jay suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.“Grand Old Master is here. Perhaps he wants to discuss with you regarding Baby Robbie’s custody,” Jay said.Rose could guess Grand Old Master Ares’s intentions as well, but she did not want to talk to him at all. She looked at Jay, a look of hesitation in
“I can’t accept it." Rose protested sulkily.Grand Old Master Ares looked at Rose in a new light. Not only did she not want the two billion, but she also had the audacity to protest.He leaned forward and spoke in a gentle yet slightly threatening tone, “Then you won't get a single cent, and at the same time, you'll lose custody of your child.”Rose stared at him, her eyes full of hatred. She challenged him in a provocative tone, “Grand Old Master Ares, you can use all sorts of ways to try and rob me of Baby Robbie’s custody rights, but you’ll never convince me to hand him over to the Ares family.”His gaze turned colder. “I don’t need you to be convinced.”“If I’m not willing to hand him over, what’s the difference between you and a thief?” Rose replied, her voice full of spite.Grand Old Master Ares angrily slammed his fist onto the coffee table, causing the teacups to fall and shatter.Jay heard a loud thud coming from inside the house. He quickly ran inside.He saw Grand Ol
In Grand Old Master Ares’ heart, Jay was his greatest pride and joy. He had brought him up to be the perfect heir. He would not allow that salacious girl, Rose, to be the only stain in his son’s reputation.“Letting her stay here isn’t a good idea. Two single people like you two staying in the same room together might give the wrong impression to some people,” Grand Old Master Ares said looking at Jay, his voice cold and strict. “Grandfather, Jens needs a mother, and Baby Robbie needs her more. She has to stay here. I need her too.”Jay had always been a man of strong opinions.Grand Old Master Ares looked into Jay’s eyes and saw the faint glint of resolution that had not been there before. He knew Jay too well. Once he made up his mind about something, he would be persistent and obsessed with carrying it out.He would persevere with his decision, no matter the cost.“The illegitimate daughter of the Loyle family who has been divorced twice. Why does it have to be her?” Grand Ol
