When Jenson and Whitney entered the hall, they heard the gloomy voice of Charles’ wife saying, “What military academy is she talking about? Charles Banners, don’t you try to fool me. In my opinion, she’s clearly a vixen you’re having an affair with…”Before she could finish her words, a silver needle flew over and pricked her lips.Madam Banners collapsed to the floor in fright, her eyes looking straight at the silver needle.Then, Whitney’s sharp and clear voice sounded. “Madam, don’t start assuming that this rotten old husband of yours is a treasure that everyone will fancy. Your taste and preferences don’t represent the masses, Madam. I only like a man like this one.”Then, Whitney held Jenson’s hand affectionately. Jenson usually disliked it when a girl approached him or touched him. Yet, he was not at all repulsed by Whitney’s physical touches.Madam Banners looked over at Whitney. She thought that although the girl was stunning, she was simply aggressive and not the type a m
Jens’ handsome eyes instantly froze. “Mr. Banners, even if other people get a divorce and remarry, they’re able to mention and face their past wives and children calmly. Yet you’re flying into a rage out of humiliation from just hearing about your former wife and the child you had together. What’s the reason for this?”“What does it have anything to do with you?” Charles angrily asked again. “Me? Well, I’m bored and I like being nosy nowadays. For those who abandon young children like that, I just want to redress the grievances on behalf of those innocent children,” said Jenson casually. Charles was fuming. At this point in his life, he was someone who had power and respect. If a scandal about him abandoning his child was exposed, his future would be ruined.“Who the f*ck told you that I abandoned my child?” Charles quibbled. “Back when I divorced her mother, her mother was the one who forcefully took her away. I was helplessly separated from the child as well.”Facing Charles
Jens’ words rekindled the hope inside the estranged parents’ hearts. They thought that as long as they treated Roxie a little better, they might be able to change her mind about them. If Roxie was willing to listen to them, she would become a chess piece in their hands and would be entirely up to their disposal. Charles immediately smiled and said to Jens, “Young Master Ares, Roxie is my daughter. All of the wrongs I did to her in the past were merely because I didn’t know her whereabouts. Now that I know she’s still alive, as her father, I’ll do everything to make up for my mistakes. I’d like to take my child back now. I’ll treat her well in the future.”Jenson looked at him coldly and said, “How about going back to the Ares family’s house for now to visit her? As for whether she wants to go home with you or not, that’s an entirely different matter.”“Alright, of course,” Charles responded quickly.Madam Banners and Charles quickly got a few of their things and rode in their ow
Roxie had never put on makeup so seriously before. She already had exquisite features, so when paired with her delicate makeup, she looked particularly beautiful. Just like an elf left behind in this mortal world, she looked pure and cold as if she was placed way above the common populace. When she finished applying her makeup, a servant was already outside her door, urging, “Ms. Roxie, your father, Charles Banners, has already arrived at the hall.”Baby Robbie said, “We got it. Let him wait.”However, Roxie suddenly grew more nervous. She was holding the wheelchair tightly with both hands with an uneasy expression on her face.“What’s wrong?” Baby Robbie asked attentively.Roxie suppressed the tension in her heart and nodded at Baby Robbie. “I don’t know what’s going on but my heart is beating wildly for no reason.”Baby Robbie’s handsome face sank. He was afraid that this was a sign of a bad premonition.Baby Robbie pushed Roxie and took the elevator to the lobby on the fir
Roxie was silent for a long time before she nodded at Charles lightly. Hence, Charles and Madam Banners were ecstatic about her response.Sir Ares abruptly chimed in, “Charles Banners, Roxie is the legally adopted daughter of the Ares family. My wife and I treat her as our own, and she’ll always be an Ares wherever she ends up going. You have to keep in mind that if you take her back, you’ll have to take good care of her. If she gets hurt under your care, I won’t let you off the hook so easily.”Charles was so frightened that his back was drenched in cold sweat. He nodded at Jay quickly. “Yes, yes, of course. Don’t worry, Sir Ares. I’ll certainly take good care of my daughter.”At this time, Whitney stepped forward and took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket to hand it to Roxie. “Six, this is the antidote that I’ve been preparing for you in the past couple of days. Take this with you. It’ll last for five to six days. Afterward, I’ll come over to send you a new one.”Roxie l
When Charles and Madam Banners saw that many were rare treasures, their eyes immediately lit up. Sir Ares’ cold, sharp eyes were locked onto Charles and Madam Banners’ expressions. His heart subconsciously sank. Perhaps Roxie, who grew up in the military intelligence division, could deal with sinister and vicious villains. However, she might not be able to go up against these people with malicious intentions. Sir Ares walked toward Roxie and said, “Six, Daddy doesn’t mean anything else by this. I just wanted to give you a little bit more materialistic assets. Although they seem tacky, these things can still protect you from money-hungry wolves during crucial moments. However, you must always remember that treasures are also some sort of touchstone. The people who can be bribed by them are all greedy, money and power-hungry wolves.” Roxie was a smart person, so she instantly understood what Daddy was implying. “I’ll remember your words, Daddy.”“Mm. Go ahead now.”Roxie looked
When they were done unloading the goods, Charles and Madam Banners remembered that Roxie was still inside the vehicle. Charles then ordered his servant to carry Roxie down. Roxie sat in her wheelchair that was specially made for her by Sir Ares. Thinking of Roxie’s special identity, there was even a hidden compartment designed to launch secret weapons from her wheelchair. Roxie looked over at the empty trunk of the car and stared at Charles coldly. “Where are my presents?”Charles was stunned. He smiled at her embarrassedly while saying, “They’re in Daddy’s room, Roxie.”Roxie firmly said to him, “Those gifts were given to me by my dearest family members and they’re very important to me. You’d better move them back to my room, Daddy.”Madam Banners was furious.Then, she said somewhat gloomily, “Why, you’re just a little child. Why do you need so many materialistic things? Besides, now that you’ve come to my house, our expenses will be higher. Those assets should be used as you
Charles and Madam Banners were still terrified of the Ares family, so even if they were discontented with Roxie’s behavior, they would not dare to put Roxie on the spot. However, Bebe was the spoiled young lady of the household. She thought that she would have her parents backing her up while Roxie was just the wild little sister of an unknown origin. She got angry at Roxie’s words and raised her hand to slap Roxie fiercely. “This is my house, Roxie Banners. You should drill this fact into your head. If you don’t like it here, get out. If you want to stay in this family, you have to learn to respect us.” Bebe arrogantly reprimanded Roxie. Roxie looked at her with an extremely cold gaze. Charles and Madam Banners tried to turn a blind eye toward what their daughter had done. It was up until Roxie shot her icy gaze toward them that Charles could no longer try to dismiss it. Then, he said to Bebe somewhat perfunctorily, “Bebe, your sister just got home. You should be more considerat
