“Speak!” Jay barked.Grayson said, “President, don’t be angry. Old Master Bell had no remorse for his actions after the incident and even tried to bribe me just to accept any kind of scapegoat.”Jay slammed the table and broke one of its legs. Consequently, the table fell sideways.Grayson shuddered. ‘The president has not revealed his strength in a long time.’“Stanley Bell, since you want to spoil your daughter, don’t blame me for spoiling my wife in full force!”Grayson’s eyes widened. He did not understand the meaning of ‘spoiling my wife in full force’ that Jay was referring to.‘Wasn’t Rose the president’s most hated ex-wife?‘Why the sudden change in attitude?‘How much he hated her in the past was how much he doted her now?’Grayson felt that he needed to make amends with Rose once again, otherwise, the person that would receive the wrath of his president would be none other than himself.“Grayson, immediately remove all of Grand Asia’s investments and technology in B
Stanley Bell’s expression changed for the worse. The only person that had such control over Bell Enterprise’s shares was none other than Jay Ares.Only after a step too late did he realize that when all the investors pulled out from their project, it was not because the subsidiary companies were making their own decision. Instead, they had received orders from Jay.When he recalled the recent interactions he had had with Jay, even a fool could tell as to why Jay was attacking.“Master Ares, oh, Master Ares. How could you be so cruel toward Bell Enterprise just because of a woman? Don’t you know that women are the root of all troubles?”Nancy paled when she heard what her father had lamented. She felt that it was unfair. ‘That Rose Loyle is no match for me in all aspects. Not to mention, she’s from such a lowly background. Why would Master Ares treat her so well and even make Bell Enterprise his enemy?‘I’ve been showering him with my affection for so many years. However, I was una
Old Master Ares would surely side with his grandson if anyone went against Jay.Ono the other hand, when Chairman Bell received Old Master Ares’s reply, he was washed with despair.He sighed helplessly and glared at Nancy. “Nancy, the person that tied the knot has to untie it. This issue started because of you. Perhaps you should give Master Ares a visit and apologize.”Nancy mumbled, “Okay, understood.”As long as she did not need to apologize to that uncouth Rose Loyle, she would do anything to save Bell Enterprise.Nancy carefully dolled herself up with well-drawn makeup until she was satisfied with how she looked before she headed toward Grand Asia.As usual, Nancy walked straight toward the president’s office without notice. However, this time, upon exiting the elevator on the ninth floor, she saw Grayson lazily leaning against a stone wall with his arms folded across his chest. He had an enigmatic smile on his face.“Ms. Bell, I’m afraid to inform you that my president won
Nancy seemed as if she had heard something unrealistic. “Impossible, I can’t apologize to that ignorant and mean woman.”Grayson had already given his message and thus lost his patience. He said coldly, “Then Miss Bell, just wait and see how the Bell Enterprise will struggle in deep waters. Perhaps—— on the verge of bankruptcy, the Loyle Enterprise that everyone is calling for a beating now will become your future.”Nancy had always sneered at the Loyle Enterprise that was on the verge of bankruptcy. Consequently, at the thought that the prominent Bell Enterprise would actually be reduced to the state of the Loyle Enterprise who was currently being ridiculed by citizens all over the city, her arrogant, princessy heart started to sink into a pit of fear bit by bit.“Please, let me see Master Ares.”Grayson looked at the arrogant Miss Bell as if she were a stray dog and could not help but smack his lips. He said regretfully, “Miss Bell, forgive me for not being able to help you out.”
The car horn sounded, and the carved iron door seemed to sense its owner’s aura as it consciously opened itself. Subsequently, the luxurious Rolls-Royce slowly drove inside. All of a sudden, the window slid open, and Jay Ares stuck his head out to look at Rose Loyle.Even if he did not speak nor do anything except for look at her, his breathtaking eyes were electrifying; they made Rose feel intoxicated.“Master Ares, you’ve returned?”Rose got off the swing. She was surprised. After all, the place was quite far from where he worked. Thus, she had thought that he would not come back.Jay parked his car by the side of the road, opened the door, and exited the vehicle.Standing in front of Rose with a shallow smile in his eyes, he said with a hint of jocularity, “Have you been waiting for me?”In the countless scenes he had imagined before, it included Angeline sitting on the swing and waiting for him to return home.It actually ended up coming true that day.Rose felt a little
After coming out of the shower, Jay glanced at the dimly lit corridor on the second floor. He frowned when he saw that all the bedroom doors were tightly shut. He had told Rose and the children to choose the rooms they liked, and it seemed as if they had all successfully avoided being neighbors with him.Was he that scary?Jay went downstairs. The servant, Mother Zachary, was busy preparing dinner.Seeing Jay, Mother Zachary said very kindly, “Master, dinner will be ready very soon. I’m going to ask the young lady and the children to come down for dinner.”Originally, Mother Zachary was a super chef in Tourmaline Estate; she was the one that had stayed there for the longest time. Jay’s mother had helped her solve many of her family problems, so the grateful Mother Zachary had always been particularly kind to the Ares family’s first wife. She even regarded Jay as her own child.Jay also trusted Mother Zachary a lot, so he took Mother Zachary out regardless of the opposition of t
She just did not want to move.Jay said, “Mother Zachary is too old to climb the flights of stairs.”Rose could only surrender.Thus, after dinner, Rose went upstairs to move her belongings.Jay called out to the three adorable babies, “You can choose any room on the second floor but remember to stay away from Daddy.”Jenson Ares put one hand in his pocket and nodded coolly. “I got it.”Baby Robbie was a little confused and asked Jenson, “Jens, why won’t Daddy let us live next door to him?”Jenson said without looking back, “That’s because you’re not Mommy.”Baby Robbie instantly had an epiphany. “Oh!”Baby Zetty, however, grimaced at Jay. “Nobody wants to live next to you!”By the time Rose had moved her toiletry down from the fourth floor, she found that most of the rooms on the second floor had been fully occupied by the three naughty children.Only the room next to Jay was left.The three rooms farthest away from Daddy’s room had been occupied by Jensen who was to use t
”Master Ares, why is this room decorated differently from the others?” Rose Loyle was surprised. The villa highlighted simplicity and elegance as a whole. However, that room alone was classic and dreamy just like a girl's boudoir from ancient times.Jay Ares stared at Rose who had a surprised expression on her face. Subsequently, he curled his lips cheerfully. “Guess?”Rose stared at him blankly, and her memory went back to seven years ago.Angeline Severe had a serious car accident, and after managing to survive, she heard the shocking news that Jay was about to get married. However, the bride could not show up at the wedding scene for some reason——As for her, she used some tricks to successfully attract his attention and make him pick herself as his wife among the crowd.She had always been curious as to who was the absent bride?She was the woman Jay cared about, right?“It’s designed for the girl you like!” She could not hide her frustration, and her voice sounded in a ve
“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
