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
Having read the love letter, she began to delete every single word… Her eyes were watery with tears as she bid Jay Ares farewell, “Goodbye, Jaybie. I’m leaving for real this time, you’ll never have to see me again.”Pulling out the saline syringe that was on the back of her hand, Rose Loyle slipped out of the hospital without being noticed. Immediately, upon his return to the company, Jay Ares received an emergency call from Grand Asia Hospital. “I’m sorry, Mr. President. Miss Rose has gone missing.” Hearing the news, Jay felt a shiver run down from his neck to his spine. It also passed through his long legs and toes. Then, recalling the time when she had ghosted him the same way seven years ago, anxiety began to spread across his chest. The past incident was the one that had him empty-handed despite the entire city having been searched by his men. “Grayson. I want every exit of the city closed immediately. We will not let Rose escape this time.” Grayson’s legs grew weak at
After starting the car, Jay Ares sped in the direction of the airport only to change his destination after receiving a sudden call from Grayson.“Mr. President, someone it was just reported that someone has seen Rose Loyle around Eminent Honor’s entrance. However, she was only seen there for a moment before she vanished again. That’s the last known whereabouts of Rose Loyle that we have. In other words, it’s been an hour since we lost her.” “Alright, I’ve got it. Keep searching!” Hanging up the phone, Jay Ares turned the car around and drove in the direction of Swallow City. Honestly speaking, there was no guarantee that Rose Loyle would be in Swallow City. Jay merely thought that since she had not yet given up on Severe Enterprises, she would perhaps drop by to visit her grandfather—Old Master Severe—as well. Although Swallow City was 120 kilometers away from Imperial Capital, Jay Ares made it there in under forty minutes. Consequently, having stepped a little too hard on the
An inkling of suspicion surfaced in Mommy Severe’s eyes. With the two kids in tow, Jay Ares ran all the way to the intersection where he found Rose pacing aimlessly with Baby Zetty in one hand and her suitcase in another. “It’s Mommy!” Baby Robbie almost howled in excitement. Jay Ares covered his mouth as he whispered to the boys, “Let’s stay hidden for now, so we don’t end up scaring Mommy away, okay?” Baby Robbie quickly pressed a hand to his mouth as well. “So what do we do now, Daddy?” “Let’s follow Mommy secretly.” “Okay.” Arriving at one of the Severe Enterprises’ properties—À La Recherche Du Temps Perdu Hotel, Rose Loyle procured her identity card and booked a single room for the night. Only after ensuring that Rose had gone up to her room did Jay Ares bring both Baby Robbie and Jenson inside. Signaling with his eyes, Jay Ares had Baby Robbie charm the ladies at the reception desk with his cuteness. “Hey little missy, I want to live next to that pretty lady fro
The street lamps lit up as the skies darkened.Rose Loyle stood in front of the large glass window with her arms folded in front of her chest, looking at the colors that painted Swallow City.Once upon a time, the Severe family was the most influential in Swallow City.What had happened?Her mother was living in a secluded manor, her grandfather was holding on to dear life in a government-owned hospital, and the subsidiary companies under the Severe family were being bought over one by one. To top it off, the family was facing potential bankruptcy.Her brother had founded Eminent Honor because he was unsatisfied with what had befallen the Severe family. He was hoping to rise again by using friends and relatives that were once close to the Severe family. What her brother did not understand was that those people were neither reliable nor useful as the Severe family would not be in such a position if the case was the other way around.There was subliminal hope for Severe Enterprise
