Author: Yan An
Rose ended the call. The exhaustion on her face was evident.

Sean handed her a glass of red wine with a smile. "Have a drink. You might forget your worries for a while."

Rose took the glass, but when she was reminded that Jay had forbidden her from drinking after she was drunk the last time, she placed the glass on the table.

"I'm not good with alcohol. I've stopped drinking," Rose said frankly.

Sean looked at Rose's clear, sparkling eyes. He was reminded of how she had declined his unreasonable request when they first met. Her unyielding principles had given him a lasting impression.

"Why are you looking for a job?" Sean asked her.

Rose was surprised. She did not expect that Sean would remember that she had asked him to help her find a job a few days ago.

Rose thought for a while and answered, "Some people work to survive, and some people work for pleasure. As for myself, I work to prove my worth to the people I care for."

Sean tipped the wine glass in his hand. The bl

    "I'm sorry, Sean. I don't want to leave you behind, but my anxiety disorder is worsening by the day. I am afraid that I will hurt you. Forgive Mommy for leaving you." Back then, he was not too young or too old. He was in his rebellious phase. He was the naughtiest kid in school, and he often got himself in trouble for fighting and truancy. Everyone thought that he was a delinquent, but no one knew that he did all that to get his parents' attention. His father frequently found pleasure with other women. His mistresses would call his mother on the phone every day and upset her with explicit language. His kind and gentle mother could not withstand the stress and eventually was diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorders. Her health failed, and her temper worsened. He thought that when Mommy said she would 'leave early', she was going to run away from home like how he used to. He did not expect that it was a suicide note. Mommy jumped off a tall building after writing it.

    "Why are you… aren't you asleep yet, Sir Ares?" Rose wanted to ask him why he was at her rented property, but she quickly realized that the house belonged to him. "Rose, did you just neglect your children because you have a date with another man?" Jay spoke hoarsely. He tapped the cigarette between his fingers on the ashtray, stubbed out the tip, tossed it inside, and leered at Rose. Rose was shocked when she saw the pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray. How long had he been waiting for her? "Sir Ares," she walked over and explained to him, "I'd like to come back earlier to take care of the kids, but Mr. Bell wasn't feeling well today and, as his friend, I thought I'd stay back and talk to him…" Before she could finish her sentence, vicious anger appeared on Jay's tired face. "Many cowardly men suffer from sadness and mental breakdowns every day, Rose Loyle. Are you going to talk to them all?" He was implying that she was a salacious woman. Rose's eyes turned red with

    Zetty hugged Rose as soon as she got out of bed. "Where were you last night, Mommy? I miss you!" Rose patted Zetty's head and spoke to her gently, "Did you and Daddy fight last night, and you skipped dinner too? You must be starving!" Zetty patted her stomach and said sweetly, "Daddy cooked some noodle soup for me last night, Mommy. I didn't starve." "He cooked noodle soup for you?" Rose was shocked. "Mm." Zetty nodded. Rose gently pinched Zetty's cheeks. "I told you that he had a kind heart under his cold demeanor. Don't give him any trouble next time!" Zetty nodded obediently. "I won't, Mommy." Rose sent the three children to the kindergarten after breakfast, then rushed to the Bell Enterprise office. It was her first day at work in Bell Enterprise. To present a good first impression to her colleagues, she put on some light makeup and wore a proper office suit. Gone was her pure and clean image, and instead she looked diligent and capable. She attracted many eyes

    Lifting an arm, Rose sent a slap across Nancy’s cheek. Slap— Everyone present froze at the sharp sound of the slap cut through the room. Cupping the burning skin of her cheek, Nancy glared unquestionably at Rose. “How dare you slap me?” Sean Bell was evidently shell-shocked. Despite the glaring distaste he held for his sister, Nancy Bell, Sean still tried his best at pretending to embrace this woman as his sister. Shutting his eyes to Nancy’s bouts of tantrums for the sake of keeping up the gentle and elegant facade he put up before the Bell elders. It had never crossed his mind that Rose Loyle would avenge him so resolutely for something he had resigned himself to endure. It felt great! However, in the face of a duo with special identities, Sean could not help but worry about the consequences Nancy was to face.“You saw, right Sean? Your assistant slapped me! I’m telling Daddy.” Nancy bawled as she ran off.Sean’s expression darkened at his sister’s threat, knowing

    Most likely unaware of such an incident, Chairman Bell was shocked at the words he heard and turned to look at Nancy in surprise. Of course, it went without saying that there was no way Nancy would admit such an act in front of her father. Especially not when doing so meant that she was plotting against both Rose Loyle and Sean. Daddy would be mortified, knowing she was plotting against her brother. Nancy Bell adamantly denied, “She’s lying, Daddy.” Naturally, Chairman Bell believed his daughter over Rose, not to mention how Rose’s reputation was far from great. Such had only further enraged him, “Rose Loyle! How dare you slander Nancy?” Purposefully expressing a look of surprise, Rose’s following words had the people across her dropping their jaws. “It’s what Sir Ares told me, Chairman. As to whether that is the truth or not, I believe it best you ask Sir Ares himself.” Both father and daughter Bell broke down. Fear was written on Nancy’s face. “You’re lying, Rose Loyle.

    Honestly speaking, Sean had no definite idea of how much Rose Loyle meant to Jay Ares, whether he even liked her enough to make an enemy of Bell Enterprises. However, Jay Ares might be his only option now. “Master Ares. Rose Loyle is… My father has her.” Sean relayed with suppressed anxiety and unease. “What do you mean?” Jay’s handsome features hardened immediately, emitting quite the suffocating aura. “She had a conflict with my sister…” Assuming Jay Ares understood not, Sean did his best to calm his raging heartbeat so that he could explain the situation better. Only to have Jay Ares hang up abruptly. Confused, Sean Bell stared at the hung-up phone in his hands, ‘What did he mean? ‘Is he coming to save her or not?’ Standing from the black leather sofa, Jay Ares let out a natural aura of a man meant to stand on top of the world. The sudden aura so threatening it could kill three thousand men had Grayson on the side shivering instantly. It had been a while since the Pres

    The Chairman felt a little more at ease. “You’re right. Master Ares is a businessman who cares deeply about profiting, it is unlikely that he will make an enemy out of Bell Enterprises for a woman.” Turning to look at Rose Loyle, he frowned at the unmoving body on the floor. “Women. What low endurance for pain. Throw her out.” The Chairman’s bodyguards were walking toward Rose’s body when suddenly, the doors to the Chairman’s office were violently kicked open. It was a loud sound that attracted everybody’s attention, causing heads to turn in shock. At the door were two men in black outfits with sunglasses on. Promising men, standing straight by the door frames. Following behind was another figure with his head held high, stepping into the room with an air of prestige and well-wielded authority. Seeing his face, the Chairman quickly stood with a beam.Nancy Bell’s delicate features bloomed into a charming smile as well, her eyes shining with hardly-concealed mirth. Perhaps

    Jay Ares came and left like a cyclone, leaving traces of shame and embarrassment in his wake. Throwing Bell Enterprises into new heights of frantic frenzy. As per the given orders, Grayson stayed behind to investigate the cause of Rose’s injuries, the youth a physical embodiment of Grand Asia’s hegemonic spirit. “Chairman Bell, my President would like to enquire the identity of the persons behind Rose Loyle’s injuries—” Grayson supplemented, in case he was not clear enough, “That is to say, all the persons involved in either directly or indirectly causing Rose Loyle harm. I would greatly appreciate it if Mr. Chairman could be so kind to give their names, as per my President’s orders.” Chairman Bell was at a loss. Just because Jay Ares was an invincible businessman, it did not mean he would fear Jay’s closer subordinates. “Grand Asia and Bell Enterprises have always been close friends, Grayson. I’m pretty sure Master Ares told you to find the culprit because he was clouded momen

    “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
