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
“Rose Loyle, are you willing to remarry Jay?” Grand Old Master Ares said rather directly.Rose’s eyes widened in surprise. She could not believe what she had just heard. Surely she misheard?The opportunity to achieve her previous dream of wanting to be Mrs. Ares had just suddenly materialized right in front of her.Back then, she would have been jumping for joy.However, now she did not feel even an ounce of joy.Her previous seven-year marriage with Jay was a disaster.During that time, she was humbled, endured pain, and struggled.Her fiery love for him had been quenched by his heartlessness and indifference. During that time, she could not even afford to fall sick. If she did, his unconcernedness would be too much for her to bear. “No, I’m not,” she said in a low voice.He thought she would have happily said yes, but for some reason, she rejected him?Being married to him had long been her dream, had it not?Jay turned blue in the face.Grand Old Master Ares looked a
When he reached out to grab the cloth, Rose suddenly flipped over and covered the entire drawing board with her body. Her hands gripped the cloth tightly. "What obscene thing did you draw this time?" Jay crouched in front of her and asked suspiciously. Rose lifted her head to look at him and said sheepishly. "My drawing skills are horrible. I'd rather you not see it." Jay suddenly lifted her with both of his hands. Her face turned pale from shock, though she hugged the drawing board tightly. The tighter Rose's grip was on the drawing board, the more curious Jay became. "Let go." Jay was trying his very best to hold back his laughter when he saw Rose's expression, as though her life depended on not showing him the drawing. He suddenly flipped her around and turned her face-up. He leaned closer to her mischievously. His lips were about to touch hers, and he could taste her nervousness. His hand abruptly pulled the drawing board from her grip. He placed her on the floor a
"Mm," he nodded agreeably. Rose's phone abruptly rang. Rose saw Sean's name on the phone and was startled for a while. She remembered that the hacker who had intruded into Eminent Honor's network had an IP that came from Bell Enterprise. Rose tried to keep as calm as possible and picked up the phone. Her voice was as cool and steady as a stream of spring water. "Mr. Bell!" "We're no longer strangers, Rose. Why do you sound so formal? Just call me Sean," Sean's lively voice was heard over the phone. "Yes, Sean," Rose said. "I've heard that the Grand Old Master is there at Horizon Colors. Is he giving you any trouble?" Sean asked anxiously. "He didn't," Rose replied calmly, "But he said that it's not suitable for me to live there." Sean was instantly excited. "So are you planning to move out? Don't worry, Rose, I own many properties. I can let you live somewhere for free." Jay could hear Sean's excited voice over the phone, which made him furious. Rose had a differe
