Scared witless, Rose walked over and sat down lightly next to Jay.Nancy suddenly stood up and bowed to Rose. “Miss Rose, I’m sorry for what happened the last time. I hope you can forgive my recklessness and impulsiveness.” Rose looked at Nancy in shock, her mind unable to comprehend. The high and mighty Nancy Bell was apologizing to her? Rose looked toward Jay. Could it be that he had used the power of Grand Asia to put pressure on Bell Enterprise and force the young miss to apologize to her?Rose’s face immediately turned red with shame.She did not want to rely on a man to save her dignity. Her dignity and status needed to be earned with her talents before it could count as something. “Miss Bell, let bygones be bygones!” Rose said. Nancy, “...” She had forgiven her so easily? She rejoiced secretly in her heart. Hmmph! It seemed like this woman knew her weight, and that was why she did not make things difficult. If she had dared to embarrass her today, she would no
Rose looked at Jay sadly. “Sir Ares, every person who falls in love with you must bear your insults and be hurt by you. Is that not pitiful?” Jay, “...” Rose turned and walked toward the stairs. Jay suddenly yanked her into his arms. With his arms circling tightly around her, he said in a hoarse voice, “I won’t do it again.” Rose was flabbergasted. “Let go of my mommy.” Seemingly having appeared out of nowhere, Baby Zetty held a toy gun in her hand as she pointed at Jay and commanded cutely. Seeing how Jay had lost his temper and even hit someone just now, she was afraid that he would hit her mommy. As such, Baby Zetty had run into the house and found a toy sniper so that she could be her mother’s savior. Rose did not know whether to laugh or cry as she pushed Jay aside. The expression on Jay’s handsome face soured. Why did the child always ruin his plans? A ‘poisonous plan’ brewed in his heart. “Baby Zetty, do you want to be a child star?” Baby Zetty’s eyes spa
There was no gold here!Afraid that Joesphine would say the wrong thing, Rose hurriedly hung up and picked up her glass of milk before finishing it in a few gulps. Worried that Jay would interrogate her, she quickly slipped away like a mouse. “Baby Zetty, hurry up. Don’t let Aunt Josephine wait too long!” Rose ran upstairs before reminding Baby Zetty. Jay looked at Baby Zetty before he suddenly reached his hand out to pat her head. “Good luck! Uncle wishes you success.” His long fingers glided through her soft dark hair as a few thin, long strands of hair tangled around his fingertips. Jay’s fist tightened. Baby Zetty set down her utensils and wiped her mouth with a napkin as she made a cheeky face at Jay. “Thank you, Uncle. Don’t worry, I’ll succeed for sure. When I earn a lot of money, I’ll make you my mommy’s maid. Hmph!” Jay, “...” The delicious breakfast had suddenly become tasteless. The little bun was good at infuriating people to death.Jenson and Baby Robbie
Could he only trace back a few generations? It was so much work...“No need to trace anything after her, but none of the generations before her must be missed.” Grayson wiped his brows and rejoiced for less than a second before he realized that Mr. Ares had cracked a cold one on him. Baby Zetty was so young, so how could she have any descendants to trace?”After completing the procedures for testing, Grayson returned to Jay’s side.“How many days before the results come back?” Jay asked. Grayson raised three fingers. Genetic testing was inherently tedious. Most hospitals would take up to half a month, or at least one week to complete. Grayson was only able to negotiate it to three days by using his wide connections. However, Jay was still dissatisfied. “That’s too long.” Grayson’s face crumpled together. “Mr. Ares, this isn’t Grand Asia. We’ll have to comply with their rules.” “Then set up a genetic testing center in Grand Asia. You’ll be in charge of this.” Speech
The director was extremely satisfied with Baby Zetty’s performance and immediately proclaimed her the second female lead of the production. After Josephine exchanged a few words with the director, he generously raised Baby Zetty’s payment to one million dollars. When she heard that she would be earning a million dollars, Baby Zetty hugged and kissed her mother happily. “Mommy, we’re rich now. Does this mean we can leave Uncle Ares’ house and not have to suffer from his wimpiness anymore?” Josephine was furious when she heard that Jay abused Baby Zetty. “I suspect that my brother’s brain is purely there for aesthetic purposes. His IQ is seriously off the scale when you look at how he treats you and your daughter. Forget anything about a genius boy and uncrowned king, he’s just a single-celled organism.”Rose laughed as she said, “A wise man will slip up once as well. His arrogance was what made it possible for me to deceive him.”…The sound of a car window rolling down was hea
"You’re a meanie. I’m putting a curse on you. A curse that you’ll never have a daughter.”Slap…Jay raised his palm and slapped her. “How could you have such a vicious mind at such a young age?” he roared. Baby Zetty’s words had hit him where it hurt. He would never be able to have a daughter with Angeline. Grayson looked at the two people in the back seat in horror. Although it was a light slap, Jay instantly felt guilty for slapping Baby Zetty after seeing the child’s aggrieved and resentful face. Baby Zetty had a strong temperament and became even more furious after getting slapped. With her hands curling into fists, she roared at Jay, “I hate you.” Activating her smartwatch, Baby Zetty cried as she made a phone call to Rose. “Mommy, where are you? Uncle Ares is a meanie. He beat me!”Rose’s heart broke when she listened to Baby Zetty’s pitiful cries over the call. The news of Jay hitting Baby Zetty shocked her and caused her to nearly keel over as her vision turn
Jay made more than a dozen calls to Rose, but her phone remained switched off. He called Josephine who took a look at the furious mother-daughter duo, then a look at the incoming caller ID before she quietly hung up on him. Jay looked depressedly at his phone. For the first time in his life, he felt that the small, weak women were difficult to take care of. “Grayson, how do I coax a woman?” Jay asked listlessly as he slumped against the back of his chair. Looking at the mirror, Grayson gave the frustrated Mr. Ares an incredulous look. Mr. Ares had started his business when he was still a teenager and effectively cut through the black and white of the business world. Even the most cunning people and evil wolves had nowhere to hide in his presence. Yet, he was stumped by a few women.“Mr. Ares, I have no experience in coaxing women. You’ll have to ask your fourth uncle for help. He’s one of the most flirtatious men I’ve met.” Grayson had a look of admiration on his face when
Jay extended his hand and Grayson promptly passed him the phone. Jay said coldly, “Didn’t you want the newest Maybach? Help me get Rose back and I’ll give you one.” John was surprised. “Jay, are you sure that you want to remarry Rose? Hey, I’ll be a good fourth uncle and remind you of this. With your qualifications, you should have your eyes on the entire world instead of hanging yourself onto the neck of one tree, alright?” “Cut the cr*p,” Jay ordered. Seeing how he would get the newest Maybach after this, John decided to put up with his little nephew’s rudeness. “Don’t be impatient. Let me break it down for you. Firstly, Rose doesn’t care about money. We can tell that from when Baby Robbie rejected the generous rewards from his great-grandpa. She’s a poor, foolish woman who only has her backbone left.” Jay said angrily, “John Ares, watch your words.” “Yo, no way. Jay, you used to wish that we’d all help to drown her to death by spitting on her, and now you get angry when
“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
