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
Jay shot an icy glare at Jean. He reached out his hand and said, "Give it to me."Jean passed him the documents he was holding and said smugly, "Brother, my French is improving drastically. If you don't believe me, you can test me!""Dégagé!" Jay snapped coldly.Jean replied, "I know what this means. Get lost, right? Does it mean 'get lost'?"Grayson could not help but laugh.Jean realized that he was being bullied by his cousin, and his smug expression was suddenly wiped off his face. "Brother, can't you share a little of Sister-in-law's gentleness with me?"When he mentioned Rose, Jay's expression darkened further.Jean looked at his cousin's icy expression and teased him. "So there are also women in this world who you can't handle. Haha, women like Sister-in-law. You can't lock up her heart, but you can lock her up as a person…"Jay could not compare to John and Josephine who were sentiment experts. At that moment, when he heard Jean's plan, he lost his temper.He threw the
Rose Loyle was pondering. Jay had agreed to work with Severe Enterprise. However, the written contract had not been signed yet. What if he backed out?She had to urge Severe Enterprise to do it as soon as possible.Rose arrived at Eminent Honor Co. Ltd. to look for Zayne Severe. From a distance, she could see Zayne and Josephine clinging to each other."Zayne, when will you come to my house to ask about my hand in marriage?" Josephine looked up at Zayne, her eyes glittering with a look of anticipation.Zayne held Josephine's face and said, "If I go over to your house and ask for your hand in marriage, won't your brother kick me out?"Josephine beamed. "That depends on your sincerity. If you're not sincere enough, my brother might just chase you out with a bat!"A fearful expression appeared on Zayne's face. "Your brother’s too protective of you. Won't he feel guilty if he ends up turning a pretty young girl like you into an old lady that no one wants?"Josephine hit her fists ag
She served him justice on behalf of Josephine Ares.Zayne Severe clutched his nose, glaring and seething with rage. "Rose Loyle, do you think that I wouldn't dare to hit a woman? Let me tell you something, don't provoke me. When I'm provoked, I wouldn't even show myself mercy, never mind you."He spoke harshly, but he never made a move.Rose understood that he was not the type of person who would typically raise his hand against a woman."Don't play with Josephine's feelings," Rose warned him once more.Zayne retorted, "So Jay Ares is allowed to toy with my sister, but I'm not allowed to toy with his? Where's the logic in that?" Rose was so livid that she aimed a sweeping kick at him, knocking Zayne off his feet."Damn, don't cross the line. If you physically assault me again, don't blame me if I do the same to you."Rose squatted beside him, looking at his disheveled appearance. "Promise me you won't go to see Josephine."Zayne spat in her direction. "Bah, mind your own busi
Zayne Severe returned to Eminent Honor Co. Ltd.'s office. Francis Greene took one look at his swollen face and jumped in shock, the teacup in his hands slipping onto the coffee table."Zayne, did you fight with someone?"Zayne sat down on the couch angrily and said in a bitter tone, "My father must be getting senile. He’s appointed an outsider as Severe Enterprise's executive president."Francis wet his handkerchief and walked over to him, patting it gently against Zayne's forehead."Ouch, it hurts." Zayne hissed in pain.Francis asked, "Did your dad beat you?""No, he's returned to Swallow City."Francis became confused. "Then who was the one who beat you up this badly?"Zayne shot him a furious glare. "I fought with the newly-appointed executive president."Francis poked at the wounds on his face. "You'll be fine. These are all surface wounds. But I'm curious, you said you were a champion fighter ever since you were a kid. Those few streets in Swallow City belonged to you. Y
Francis stared at Zayne's swollen face. "Don't tell me that even the places she hit you were the same as the places that Angel used to hit you."Zayne looked at Francis in a daze. "Tell me, did my sister get reincarnated?"Francis was speechless. "As if. She's just putting on an act to trick you and your father. She must be a very experienced commercial spy."Zayne quietly let go of Francis' hand, his expression becoming crestfallen.Francis held his chin as if he was deep in thought. "But what are her motives for acting like Angel and getting close to Severe Enterprise?"Zayne said, "I have to expose her true identity, so my father wouldn't get tricked by her."When he brought up his father, Zayne became anxious and started complaining about him. "My father has lived for so long and gone through so much that he's almost got one foot in the grave already. How could he be so incompetent?"Tell me, between me and him, who's the real failure here?"Francis glanced at him wordlessl
In the evening, Jay returned home with the three children.Rose stood at the doorway with a lovely smile and took his briefcase from him graciously. "Let me get that for you, Sir Ares."Jay was surprised to see Rose. "Today’s Thursday," he reminded her.Rose's voice was pleasantly gentle as she spoke, "Sir Ares has toiled away for Grand Asia during the day, and for the children at night. You could say that you've been extremely busy. I was just thinking that I could come by when I'm free to look after the children and share some of Sir Ares' burden…""Get to the point."Jay stood before her. After shrugging off his coat, his fingers moved up to undo his tie.Rose moved toward him again. "Let me help you, Sir Ares."Her gentle, delicate hands flew to his chest like a fluttering butterfly landing on a flower, but it made him feel flushed for some reason.Her movements were not fluid and were even somewhat clumsy.Jay narrowed his eyes at her. "Is there something that you'd like
