Rose was stunned...Why did Zayne have such a strong animosity against Jay?If they wanted to blame Angeline’s death on Jay, it would be quite unfair for him.“Calm down. We should not be petty about these minute things if we want to succeed,” Rose advised Zayne.George’s expression darkened. “Ange Lin, you don’t understand the grudges the Ares and Severe family hold against each other...”Rose softly said, “I know a little.”George glared at her and bellowed even louder, “No, you don’t understand.”Rose looked at George who was fuming with anger. She kept quiet when she noticed the angry bloodshot eyes of her father who was usually gentle and soft-spoken.Were there other hidden issues that she did not know of?“Mr. Severe, please clarify,” Rose’s voice trembled as she spoke.George said painfully, “The death of my daughter, Angeline, has got something to do with him.”Rose was taken aback. “Ms. Severe was madly in love with Master Severe at that time. She had made the choi
Rose cried as she spoke, “I don’t know what happened. After the accident, I woke up as Rose Loyle!”George was startled for some time...“This is absurd. My daughter Angeline died in that accident. I buried her at Mountain’s Fork Cemetery, yet you’re telling me right now that you’re my daughter... appearing in front of me inside another body...”Although it was unbelievably crazy, George still could not completely exclude the possibility of Angeline being inside Rose’s body.He remembered the time when he first met Ange Lin who had played the ‘where is the middle finger’ game. He remembered the scene where Angeline and Rose held their hands tightly at the accident site.He had no choice but to believe that it was something fate had arranged.“Rose, prove it to me that you’re my daughter Angeline.” He looked at Rose who was standing straight with a determined expression. She was exactly like his daughter Angeline.Rose nodded.She placed her hands behind her and swung her head a
Now, they shared three children. She could force herself to stay away from Jay, however, how could she do the same toward her own flesh and blood?George became emotional. “You’re like a moth going near the flame if you get near him. You’re seeking your own destruction.”Rose shuddered. “Dad, tell me the reason why you hate him so much. Otherwise, I can’t...”George mustered up enough strength to force out his words, “That accident was a farewell gift set up by the Ares family for you.“A few days after your death, there was news about Jay’s wedding. He had lured you over to Imperial Capital but was going to marry another girl. Can you guess what his intentions were?”Rose's body swayed. “The person he likes... is not me.”“If it weren’t for Zayne’s lunatic-like behavior of wreaking havoc at the Ares’ house asking them to pay for your life, the Ares family would not have been thrown into chaos. In other words, he would not have had to cancel his wedding.” George scoffed.“Hmph.
That night, Jay did not come home.After Rose had put the children to sleep, she returned to the room that Jay had prepared for her. Although she laid in bed, she could not find herself falling asleep.She pitied herself and worried about Josephine.In the middle of the night, her room door swung open without warning. Consequently, Rose was startled.When she turned on the lights, she saw Jenson standing at the door, staring blankly at her. “Mommy, may I sleep with you?”Rose smiled at Jenson and reached out her hand. “Come over.”Jenson closed the door behind him and laid next to Rose.Rose looked up at the clock on the wall to check the time. ‘It’s midnight, but Jenson is still awake?’She caressed Jenson’s little ears as she asked gently, “Share with me what is bothering you from sleeping?”Jenson shifted his body on the bed and laid sideways to look at Rose.Within his eyes, she could see a mixture of doubt, fear, and uneasiness.Rose fiddled with his earlobe as she had
Baby Zetty was used to calling him uncle. Additionally, Jay had neither revealed her identity nor decided to reunite with her.Rose quickly got out of bed but did not have enough time to cover up the tiredness in her face.Just as she had dressed up, Jay appeared in front of her door. The latter was leaning on the door frame and was displaying a subtle smile.Rose grabbed her messy hair in annoyance.Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty had forgotten to close the door after coming into her room to greet her good morning.“Good morning, Sir Ares.” Rose smiled awkwardly.There were traces of bitterness in her smile.Jay looked at Rose. Her eyes looked very beautiful, but it was not enough to conceal the dark circles she had. What more, the worries that had risen within her gaze.“You didn’t sleep well last night?” He asked.Rose knew that she could not hide it from him and thus nodded.“Why?”Rose looked at him. There was a sense of self-mockery in her gaze. “Is Sir Ares worried about m
The sports car sped across the wide street.From time to time, Sean Bell would glance at the back to look at Rose Loyle who was sitting in the back. He was amused and thus teased her."What am I supposed to say about you? All the ladies in Imperial Capital are desperate to try and get close to him. Not to mention, fawn over him. You have the chance to become the great Mrs. Ares, however, you’ve chosen to decline him. Should I say you're silly, dumb, or foolish?""What's so great about being Mrs. Ares? If I’ll always have to look at that grumpy face, I'll either end up developing endocrine disorders or neurological disorders." Rose had developed a desire for revenge. If she could not have him, then what was so good about him?Sean could not help but chuckle. "Hehe."When the sports car turned into Imperial Capital's Middle Ring Road, Sean reminded Rose, "The company is just up ahead. If you don't want my two-faced sister to give you any trouble, you should hurry and put on some mak
Sean's temples started throbbing.Nancy started adding fuel to the flames. "Father, she's the one who instigated Brother to snatch Ares Enterprises’ screenplay and influence, deliberately causing a rift between Bell Enterprise and Ares Enterprises. In my opinion, she must be a commercial spy sent by a third party!"A cold, cunning sneer appeared on Stanley Bell's handsome and resolute expression. "Guards, tie her up and send her to Ares Enterprises to plead her guilt."Sean saw that the situation was taking a turn for the worse. He quickly pulled Rose behind him. "Father, Rose isn’t a commercial spy. She… She's the woman that your son likes!"Stanley stared at Sean in shock. "What did you say?""I said, she's my girlfriend!" Sean said pointedly.Nancy was so astonished that her mouth formed into a half-circle. "Are you insane, Brother? Have you ever thought about the consequences of stealing Master Ares' woman?"Stanley was in disbelief, and he was so furious that he started tre
After the rain, the autumn chill faded and ushered in the frigid winter.Nancy sat on a swivel chair with her phone in her hand. She was tapping on the phone screen repeatedly, then she turned off the phone's screen again and again.Finally, Nancy mustered up the courage and turned on her phone's screen. She found Jay Ares' name in her contacts and called him.The phone rang for a long time before Jay’s cold tone spoke up from the other end, "What?"Nancy was so nervous that her palm started sweating. "Master Ares… I… I have something to tell you.""Speak." Jay sounded increasingly impatient."My brother and Rose are together." Nancy bit her lip. She did not believe that he would not be interested in this message.Just as she expected, Jay pulled the phone closer as his enchanting voice became even clearer. However, it also turned colder. "What did you say?"Even from the other end of the call, she could feel the coldness that radiated off him."My brother and Rose are togethe
