When the VIP room’s door suddenly opened, the people waiting outside the door immediately surrounded them. Everyone’s gaze was fixated on Grand Old Master Ares and Jay’s facial expressions.Unfortunately for them, both Grand Old Master Ares and Jay were masters in concealing their emotions. Their expressions were the same as always—cold and solemn. It was as if nothing had happened between them. Grand Old Master Ares’ gaze inadvertently glanced toward Baby Zetty’s ward. Then, he said to Jay, “Since her mother isn’t here, you’ll have to bear with it these few days. Once the child is discharged, take her to Tourmaline Estate to play. Bring Jens and Baby Robbie as well. I miss them already. Let’s bring them all back together.”Jay nodded. “Yes, Grandfather.”Everyone was utterly bewildered at the scene. Not only was the grandfather and grandson duo not at each other’s throats, but they were unexpectedly harmonious as well.John murmured lightly, “Dad, Jens and Baby Zetty are the Are
However, this child was not accompanied by her family. As such, the matter was slightly suspicious to the massage therapist.Jay was keen to know what kind of person daddy was to Baby Zetty in her heart. Hence, the long legs that were stepping out immediately retracted.Baby Zetty lowered her head and whispered, “Daddy was here, then he went out again.”“Ah.” The therapist stopped inquiring. It was not a surprise for her that a child would have thoughtless parents. However, the man behind the curtain was shocked by Baby Zetty’s answer.Baby Zetty clearly knew that he was her father, right?Why did she still call him Uncle?“Zetty, you’re so beautiful and adorable. Mommy and Daddy must love you to death,” the therapist chatted with Baby Zetty. It was to distract the child from the discomfort, and she also thought that Baby Zetty was truly cute.“Mommy loves me, but my Daddy doesn’t love me,” Baby Zetty replied nonchalantly. Jay heaved a sigh and opened the curtain. When the d
Upon getting looked at by so many uncles and aunties, Baby Zetty became somewhat embarrassed. She shyly buried her head in Jay’s chest. Then, she opened one eye and looked across the unfamiliar place innocently. Her shy action made Jay smile gently. “Are you being shy?”Baby Zetty hugged his neck and asked timidly, “Uncle, why are they looking at me?”Jay scanned the hall with a stern gaze, and the staff immediately immersed themselves back to work.Jay said to Baby Zetty, “Probably because you’re too cute.”Baby Zetty stared at Jay blankly.“What is it?” Jay asked her.“Uncle, it’s the first time you’re praising Baby Zetty.” Zetty could not hide the surprise in her eyes.Jay frowned. “Is that so?”At that moment, he wanted to selectively forget all the memories of him being indifferent toward Baby Zetty in the past.“I’ll remember to always compliment you from now on and no longer try to suppress my praises.”Baby Zetty’s eyes showed a smile, her precious dark pupils pure
Grayson sat across the father-daughter duo.Baby Zetty noticed Grayson and immediately called out sweetly, “Good day to you, Uncle.”Grayson was so startled that his jaw almost fell to the floor. ‘What is this… Perhaps the Ares family’s gene finally mutated itself?’The highly cold, domineering genes that were unapproachable had finally mutated into something more humane.“Baby Zetty, did you grow up eating sweets? Why are you so adorably sweet?” Grayson was utterly charmed by Baby Zetty that he could not help but reach out and rub Zetty’s hair.Jay’s murderous glare shot onto Grayson’s hand.“Take it away, your hands are dirty.”Grayson felt a stab!“I just washed my hands, Mr. Ares.”“Stay away from my Baby Zetty.”Zetty looked at the aggressive Jay and the pitiful Grayson. Suddenly, she reached out and placed Grayson’s hand on her head.Jay, “...” ‘Is she doing this to go against him?’Grayson, “...” ‘Why is this kid so cute?’Baby Zetty preached at Jay, “It’s wrong for
Swallow City, at the Severe family’s courtyard.The architecture style had the courtyard houses closely overlap one another. The ancient tree reached high to the sky as vines climbed on the black railings inlaid with iron and stone. The bougainvillea flowering season was at its most exuberant, and as far as eyes could see, the ribbons of red flowers were winding away. Other than the bougainvillea flower belts, the courtyard was filled with the autumn breeze. The fallen leaves were withered, and the fallen yellow leaves on the ground exuded a decadent atmosphere.The Severe family was once infinitely beautiful—Just like the scenery in this courtyard. From their oh-so colorful state into plain bleakness, the sight of it would render one to sigh.Outside the heavy vermilion gate stood a delicate and dashing youngster. She had almond-shaped eyes and wheat-colored skin tone. There was a mole on the corner of her lip, and she had a beautiful straight nose.The person was none other tha
Rose stared at him in a daze. Was this the same refined father who was in her memory?After not seeing him for a few years, he had grown older. He was less than 60 years old, yet he appeared to be in his 70s.George walked toward the leather sofa and sat down slowly. He pointed toward the sofa on the other side and said to Rose, “Come and sit.”Rose chose to sit down on the sofa beside him instead, which was the closest to George’s seat.George instructed Anne, “Bring some beverages for our guest.”Anne snorted coldly. “Dear, we don’t have anything good at home to serve the guest.”Rose immediately uttered, “Plain water will do.”Thus, Anne went on to pour a cup of water for Rose while she babbled endlessly, “If it weren’t for my children, we wouldn’t even be able to afford to pay for plain water. Hmph. Where’s that darling son and daughter of the Severe family? How could they be unreliable during critical times?”George’s aged face immediately turned gloomy as he spat out, “Wi
Rose’s eyes shone brightly as stars, her eyes burning with unwavering faith. “No, you have to.”George’s eyes were bloodshot, and his scarlet pupils showed his unparalleled anger. “Ange Lin, I don’t care who you are. And I don’t want to know who instructed you to come here, but you will leave here immediately!”Rose heaved a helpless sigh.It seemed that the name ‘Ange Lin’ was counterproductive.Her father suspected that her motives for approaching him were impure instead.She had to find ways to dispel his apprehension.Thus, she started making a strange movement. She pulled George’s hand out and curled his middle finger. Then, she wrapped his other four fingers with her slender hand and left only the tip of his fingers exposed. It was a game of guessing where the middle finger would be that she and her father used to play when she was young.George’s eyes widened bewilderedly as he stared at her in a daze!Rose looked at him earnestly and piously. “Severe Enterprises is on
“Furthermore, the company’s intranet was shared with the mid-level management office… If I’m not mistaken, there’s a traitor in your company’s cybersecurity department…”George appeared relatively calm. When Rose covered the screen to turn and look at him, she heard him sigh softly.It was evident that he had already known the cause of Severe Enterprise's demise.“You do know your stuff.” George serenely commended her.Rose did not utter a word and quietly waited for his next sentence.However, George did not have enough trust in her and merely said indifferently, “Severe Enterprise and Imperial Capital’s Bell Enterprises were overlapping in our original business scope. It led to fierce competition between the two companies. In the past, when our Old Master Severe was still around, Bell Enterprises did not dare to brazenly go against us due to the old man’s prestige. But after Old Master Severe got sick, Bell Enterprises had unbridledly snatched countless customers from Severe Ent
