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
Madam Banners and Bebe glared at Roxie resentfully. They had always been arrogant in this household, and the entire family would have to act according to their wishes. Now that Roxie had broken this status quo, they were clearly upset about it. Bebe stood up angrily and said, “I’m not eating. I no longer have an appetite.” Then, she went upstairs. When Madam Banners saw that her beloved daughter was going on strike and refusing to eat, she immediately felt upset at Charles as well. She roared at him. “So your daughter came back and now my daughter can’t eat her meals at ease! Tell me how you’re planning to solve this?”Charles looked at Roxie, hoping that she would give in. However, Roxie looked at him in a relaxed manner. She was much more curious to know what her father would do to her in this situation. Charles finally said to Roxie with a long face, “Roxie, you hurt your sister. Don’t you know that it’s illegal? Since this is your first time, I’ll let it slide. But this wo
When Angeline thought of the injured Roxie, she naturally thought that Lil Thirteen was hurt in the worst possible way as well. Baby Robbie quickly comforted her. “It’s not what you think, Mommy. Thirteen’s not in any danger. It’s just that she… She went back to the military intelligence division.” Angeline looked at Baby Robbie in disbelief. She simply could not fathom this situation as Thirteen used to be eager to leave the military intelligence division and longed for maternal love. She finally got the life she wanted, so how could Thirteen return to the military intelligence division?However, all of the other children nodded one after another, indicating that Baby Robbie’s words were the truth. Jay started to notice the cruel twist behind the truth. “Robbie, who poisoned Sis Six?”Baby Robbie did not want to tell his parents that there had been a betrayal among the military intelligence division sisters. He was afraid that his mother, who was not in good health, would grow
Angeline asked Savannah anxiously, “Can you elaborate on that, Savannah?”Savannah was slightly hesitating and stopped talking altogether. Angeline became more and more anxious. “Do you mean that my loved ones have left my side?”Savannah shook her head. Angeline’s hand trembled violently. If that was not what she meant, that could only mean… death?Angeline could not bring herself to think of that. It would be upsetting to her if any of her children left her.“Is there a way to undo it?” Angeline asked in a stirred up manner. Savannah murmured, “I suppose it’s a life for a life.”Angeline found that extremely unsettling. There was no distinction between a noble and a lowly life in this world, so to replace her child’s life with someone else’s was extremely cruel. After Savannah spoke to Angeline, she quickly left. When she was walking out of Château de Selene, she happened to bump into Jens and Whitney.She was stunned for a moment. Looking at Jens’ eyes that were fi
When Jenson was being reprimanded by his mother, he immediately lowered his head. Whitney immediately stepped forward to help Jens. “It’s a blessing of mine to be able to share sorrows with Jens and solve problems for him, Aunt Angeline.”Angeline looked at Whitney, who was smiling brightly. She recalled that whenever she laid eyes on this girl, she would always look very cheerful. Even at first glance, Angeline could tell that the girl grew up in a carefree environment.Angeline liked Whitney’s innocence and her unreserved courage when it came to love. However, she was also worried that such an innocent girl would suffer a lot of grievances when faced with Jens’ sullen and indifferent temperament.Angeline wanted Jens and Whitney to spend more time together, so she said, “If that’s the case, then you and Jens should go over to the Banners’ household and deliver some presents to Roxie.”“Sure thing, Aunt Angeline,” Whitney responded swiftly.After coming out of Château de Selene
“That’s to quickly find Baby Robbie a girlfriend before the sisters even mention anything. This way, none of the sisters will get hurt,” Whitney suggested.Jenson shook his head. “Even if this is a good idea, I’m afraid Baby Robbie won’t agree to it.”While the two were talking, they had already arrived at Charles’ place.Just as Whitney was about to open the car door, Jens stopped her instead. “Whitty, let’s sneak over.”Whitney instantly understood him and stealthily opened the car door. She leaped and jumped across the villa’s courtyard wall. Jenson followed closely from behind. The two crept around the courtyard and hid in the corner. At this moment, they heard the voice of an exasperated young girl in the living room. “Take a good look in the mirror, Roxie. How much longer do you think you can live anyway? If you even have the slightest bit of wit, take your jewelry out and hand it over as the family’s additional expenses. Perhaps we’ll consider you one of the Banners th
