How could Mr. Ares let the hacker who ruined the Ares’ internal server go scot-free?“I need to rebuild the Ares defense systems,” said Jay after a long pause.Grayson was shocked. That did not sound like Mr. Ares at all.Against an enemy, Mr. Ares would usually kill one to serve as a warning to the others. This time, however, he would personally enhance the defense systems of the Ares network even with his body like this?This method of confronting the enemy was too lenient, was it not?“Yes, Mr. Ares.” Grayson agreed out of habit.He believed that the president's decisions were always meticulous and reasonable. If there was an aspect that one could not understand, that could only mean that they lacked the wisdom to figure it out.Jean asked with dissatisfaction, “Big Brother, so we’re letting The Mountain Bloom off that easily?”“Let them go? No way,” replied Jay with streaks of blood across his eyes. It made him look like a bloodthirsty drug addict.There was no way that he
Central BuildingAt the president’s office.Sean set down a gold credit card on Rose’s table. He had a wide smile on his face. “Orchid, this is your reward.”Rose looked up at him. “Thank you, Boss.”Sean was overjoyed. “The next thing we should do is prepare the screenplay for The Moonlit Sky, then we’ll use the new girls who we got from Ares to be the supporting actresses in the movie. “When it goes live, everyone will know that Ares Films can’t retain their female stars and weren’t able to buy the IP of popular screenplays. Thus, the head of Ares Films will start to destabilize from his position.”Rose gave a round of applause. “The plan sounds good.”Sean gazed back at her and smiled. “Orchid, this is all thanks to you.”Rose reminded Sean. “You’ve taken the big cheese of the Ares’ second family. We don’t know for sure if Sir Ares will step out and help his younger paternal cousin!”Sean replied, “Jay’s the head of the Ares family. There’s no way that he’ll sit and do not
When Sean watched Nancy leave, his smile gradually became cold.After work, Sean invited Rose over for dinner to celebrate their little victory.Rese reminded him yet again. “Mr. Bell, good things can lead to bad ones, so I suggest that you tread carefully during the night.”Sean’s face was ashen. “You’re afraid Master Ares will exact his vengeance on us?”Rose thought of what he had done to her recently. If he did not lock her up like a prisoner, then he violated her like a beast. The thought of it made her hair stand. “I’m afraid.” Rose nodded honestly.Sean walked over to her, his arm wrapping around her shoulder. “If you’re scared, I can drive you home.”Rose gave him the cold shoulder and swatted his arm away. “That’ll be unnecessary.”Sean came close once more. “I have some free time today. Let me give you a ride!”Rose suddenly thought of the time that she lied to Jay, saying that she liked Sean. Perhaps she should play the part, just to make it look real. “Alright, th
The Porsche stopped beside Sean and Orchid. The windows rolled down while Storm and Tempest strolled out of the car. Sean looked at the young men in front of him, raising his brows.Storm mimicked a fortune-teller and said, “My brother, you have deep-set eyes and an amazing love life. Your brows are thick, and your career is wonderful. However, your ophryon is dark, and you have black air swirling around your head. I’m afraid that your life may be in danger soon.”Sean looked at him cautiously. “Who are you? What are going to do to us?”Tempest glared at Storm, speechless. “What are you talking all that bullsh*t for?” He then proceeded to snap his fingers near Sean and Rose’s nose.Sean and Rose felt their bodies go weak as their vision blacked out. Then, they fell into the arms of Storm and Tempest. The duo promptly dragged them into the car.After half an hour, Sean and Rose slowly woke up.They realized that they were in a dark, underground basement and tied to a chair. Th
That was quite the shock.Jay untied her.Rose opened her eyes and gazed at him with shock.“If you want me to let him go, we’ll have to see how you perform,” said Jay.Rose was confused. She bewilderedly gazed over to Sean who lay on the concrete floor, then she looked back at Jay.She stood up slowly, yet she quickly collapsed back onto Jay because she had no more strength left in her.She wanted to stand up when she heard Jay’s satisfied voice, “Mm, now this looks promising.”Rose felt a chill breathe down her core.This b*stard wanted her to satisfy him right here and now?Filthy pervert.She looked up, and Jay grabbed the back of her head to go for her lips.Furthermore, he brutally turned her head to the other side so that Sean could witness the sight of them kissing.Rose felt extremely uncomfortable…Jay’s kisses had a hint of punishment in them. It made her almost run out of breath.Just when she was about to have a mental breakdown, he finally stopped.He carri
“What if I don’t want to?” Rose glared at him with indifference.His hand found her jet black hair, picking at every strand with focus as if treating it as a rare jewel.Rose thought of the time that he pulled her hair and numbed her scalp. It made her nervous.Jay gave her hair a slight tug and her hair grafts came off with ease.Then, he was like a toddler, plucking her hair out one by one. Rose panicked because of the pain. “Sir Ares, these are expensive…”Jay replied humorously, “Aren’t you tired of putting on makeup every day while you’re with him?”“I’m willing.” Rose gave a clear answer. “You like him that much?”She became silent.In her heart, he could fulfill her for two lifetimes over. In the past, she was like a pug. As long as he smiled and waved at her, she would race over to him.She had never thought that a woman’s honor and life were far more valuable than love.Thankfully, it was his apathy and the damage inflicted upon her that woke her up.She wante
In the trash bin sat an expensive liquid supplement box that rested beside the poor syringe. When Rose thought of having contracted this shameful disease, she became stricken with grief.She went back to her rented house in dismay.As she closed the door, her emotions blew open like a broken dam.She squatted on the floor as her tears flowed freely.“How could you do this to me?”Her phone rang non-stop. Rose removed it from her bag and saw the words ‘Josephine Ares’. She wiped her tears and answered the call.“Sister-in-law...”“Don’t call me that.”Her tone was as if she was pleading, and her choked-up voice left Josephine dazed. “Did my big brother offend you?”“Josephine, I’m leaving all three of my kids to you. Please take good care of them for me.” Rose sobbed. “Also, tell your brother that Baby Zetty is his daughter. Tell him to treat her well.”“Rose Loyle, what happened to you? Are you leaving your will right now? Where are you? I’ll come over this instant.” Jose
“Parker Hotel” After Jay managed to find where Rose lived, it was like he had been through a long war. He was exhausted. He leaned his head against the seat and rested his eyes.Josephine secretly looked at Jay through the rear mirror. At that moment, her heart was struggling. Her Sister-in-law dared to go against the Ares family According to how her big brother had dealt with this kind of matters in the past, he would make her suffer for sure. Should she plead for her sister-in-law?“Big Brother, when Sister-in-law worked together with Bell Enterprises to snatch away the business of Ares Enterprises, I think that she was touching Jean’s treasure. Sister-in-law wouldn’t have the heart to touch your essentials...”Jay opened his eyes. His still irises suddenly emanated rays of light once more.Did she really think of it that way?His dull demeanor brightened up a little.“Talk less and drive faster.” Jay urged.“Oh.”When the car stopped at the ground floor of Parker Hotel, Ja
“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
