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
He was so very afraid. Suddenly, he realized that there was nothing the world could offer that could replace one Angeline Severe. He would give his riches if that guaranteed a life of bliss for her. He would give his life if that meant she would make it out of this alive. As long as she woke, every fight they would have from that moment onwards would be worth it. Seconds felt like minutes felt like hours as time slowly trickled by like sand in an hourglass. Jay Ares felt as if an entire century had passed. Only then did the doors of the Intensive Care Unit opened. Jay Ares took a big step forward to meet the doctor. “How is she?” He asked, both looking forward and afraid of the doctor’s evaluation. “The patient is no longer in life-threatening danger, Mr. President.” Hearing him, Jay Ares’ frightful expression turned relaxed into a smile. However, the doctor continued to report, “There are signs of internal bleeding in the patient’s abdomen, which may result in poss
Sleep took Rose Loyle again after a short while of consciousness. The doctor had advised Jay Ares to let the patient sleep, for she had suffered a slight injury to the head and therefore was therefore prone to a mild concussion. Such patients were especially lethargic. Not planning to disturb her, Jay Ares sat silently as he watched her sleep. Without realizing, a drop of tear fell onto the back of his hands No one had ever expected the cold and unfeeling Jay Ares who had never once cried, to have tears falling from his eyes for a woman! That moment, Jay Ares finally understood the saying, ‘a man does not shed tears until his heart is broken!’ Lightly tucking her into the blanket, he pressed his lips against her softly before turning to leave the room. He got her a small bowl of porridge from a stall downstairs and answered a phone call before he ultimately returned to her room, only to see both of Rose Loyle’s hands clenching her phone in a death grip. Her eyes were close
