As Rose began hailing a cab by the roadside, Jay walked over with the enchanting young woman by his side.

“Step aside.”

He spoke with his deep and mellow cello-like voice which could cause a woman's ovaries to explode.

Even so, it also contained a trace of superiority that the wealthy possessed.

Rose suddenly realized that she and her kids were indeed blocking their way—they were standing right in front of a Rolls-Royce with a Spirit of Ecstasy ornament on its bonnet.

Rose dragged her suitcase with one hand and her children with the other. Upon seeing Jay, she felt rather panicky, and was slow to move aside—

The voluptuous woman said in a sardonic voice, “You must be in some deep sh*t to have to wrap yourself up like that. Fine, wear your sunglasses if you want, but why force your children to wear them while walking? Isn’t that a health hazard, you're not worried they might trip or something?”

Rose felt sick to her stomach. ‘I wouldn’t be dressing like this if I didn't have to avoid plagues like you.’

The woman's words upset Zetty—Mommy was always right in her books.

Anyone who bad-mouthed Mommy would draw Zetty's ire as she would quickly change from a baby angel into a little devil.

At that moment, Zetty slammed herself into the woman.

The collision knocked her sunglasses off onto the ground.

The woman hastily stepped back, and Zetty's tiny body then bumped into Jay.

Zetty began assaulting Jay with her tiny fists, screeching in her adorable but malicious voice, “Mommy is just worried about us getting kidnapped by human traffickers like you. That’s why she made us wear sunglasses to protect ourselves. I won't let baddies like you talk bad about Mommy, she is the best mommy in the world."

Jay turned his cold gaze onto Rose. "Did you tell her I’m a human trafficker?"

Faced with Jay’s accusatory question, Rose's brain was instantly depleted of oxygen.

Of course, the answer was yes. By all means, she thought that he was more terrifying than any human trafficker.

If Jay found out that Zetty was his daughter, he would likely make a big scene right there and then, demanding for the child’s custody.

Rose did not dare to speak up as she feared that Jay would recognize her voice.

Her silence did nothing but confirm his assumption.

Jay's expression turned dark. Did this woman just label him as a human trafficker?

“Is this how you teach your kids?” he spat.

Rose's head sank into her neck like a quail but she could not muster the power to confront Jay as her mind was completely disoriented.

Zetty resembled her mother, so Jay might not make the connection.

However, Robbie was practically a mini version of Jay. Robbie must not show his face to Jay at all costs.

Rose wrapped her arms around Robbie and clutched him tightly; she was worried that he would lose control like Zetty.

Jay shoved Zetty away and patted down the spot where Zetty had touched, looking disgusted. He then opened the rear seat door for the dame, and the two of them boarded the car and drove off without another word.

Robbie, still wrapped in Rose’s arms, looked at the Rolls-Royce's license plate number and made a mental note of it.

That man looked exactly like him.

"Mommyyy, why didn't you say anything just now?” Zetty was so aggrieved that tears were filling up her eyes.

Every time she was bullied in the past, Mommy would run up to teach those bullies a lesson.

"Mommy, you're like a wimp today." Her baby Robbie took off his sunglasses and rolled his eyes at his mother who still had not said anything.

Rose was speechless. Did her two children just renounce her?

Jay was her nemesis in every sense of the word. As soon as he appeared, her kids stopped looking up to her.

It seemed that the pestilence was inevitable.

Disturbed, Rose hailed a cab and the trio headed off to Splendid Town district in City North’s Third Ring Road, which was where her mother was currently staying.

Inside the luxurious Rolls-Royce.

Josephine Ares crossed her arms as she peered through the window to observe the curious sunglasses-wearing family until they boarded their cab and left.

She did not read much into the earlier confrontation.

However, when she saw the little girl, a familiar face flashed in her mind.

"Jay, don’t you think that little girl looks familiar? Her eyes looked just like… just like my sister-in-law’s!"

Her older brother Jay held the steering wheel as he replied airily, "Sister-in-law? What sister-in-law?”

"Jay, you were married once, remember?” Josephine reminded him.

The image of Rose flashed through Jay's head, and he mentally compared the little girl’s face with Rose’s.

Screech! The Rolls-Royce came to an abrupt stop.

Rose? That woman, the person who made him grind his teeth at the mere thought of her?

“Ouch!” Josephine jerked forward from the momentum and her forehead bumped the back of the car seat.

"Jay, how could you hurt your darling sister like that? What if I got hurt? Are you going to take care of me for the rest of your life?”

The Rolls-Royce stopped by the roadside. Jay rushed out of the car and glanced at the direction of the airport.

Josephine rolled down the window and said weakly, "Don't bother. I saw them getting into a cab just now. We’re heading south and they’re heading north. You won’t be able to catch up to her even if you turned around.”

Jay slowly returned to the driver's seat and closed the door.

Josephine chattered excitedly, "Jay, was the woman just now really Rose?"

Jay shifted the rearview mirror so that he was looking directly at Josephine. From the mirror, Josephine could clearly see the frigid look on her brother's face.

Josephine could not help but laugh. "Yup, only Rose can drive you this crazy. Oh yeah, she even called you a human trafficker."

Jay pondered about it and realized that it was indeed something that a person like Rose would do.

After all, the rational thinking of men and the emotional thinking of women were essentially two distinct things. Jay frowned and wondered how likely it was for Rose to appear on this side of town.

"It can't be her, she's been dead for five years." Although that was what he was told, he could find no explanation for the hint of anxiety that he felt.

"Jay, don't you feel that the way Rose died was very fishy?" said Josephine. “None of us saw a photo of her actually dead. A memorial portrait is not enough to prove that she died. Think about it. Photoshopping technology is improving every day.”

"I’ve already sent people to search for her. If she's not dead, why couldn’t anyone find her?” Jay stepped on the accelerator, revved the engine, and sped away.

Josephine raised her eyebrows and thought about it for a long time. "The Ares Family's tracking system is pretty impressive and all, but maybe she found a way to slip through the net.”

Jay said coldly, "You're overestimating that b*stard of a countryside bum."

Josephine shrugged. "Even though Rose came from the countryside, you gotta admit the way she managed to play you was pretty impressive.”

Jay was gripping the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles were turning pale.

    After half an hour.The Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance of Mountain's Fork Cemetery.Through the car window, Josephine read the three big words, Mountain's Fork Cemetery, and her delicate face turned pale.The reason for her trip home was to visit her seriously ill grandmother. Unless Grandma had…"Is Grandma here?" Josephine gasped."Rose is." Jay corrected her."Rose? Rose is buried here?"Josephine breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she asked quizzically, "It's not the Qingming Festival, so why are we here?" (TN: Chinese families visit the tombs of their ancestors during Qingming Festival to clean the gravesites, pray to their ancestors, and make ritual offerings.)Josephine suddenly squealed with excitement, "You still have feelings for Rose, I knew it!

Large cypress pine trees were planted on both sides of the stairs.At Josephine's words, he came t

    Grand Asia Hospital.Jay went to the monitoring room. As soon as he entered, a young man greeted him and gave his report."Master Ares, the patient's data entered our system twenty minutes ago. We’ve done as you ordered and set up an electronic tracker to track the person who submitted her information. But, this woman looks very different from the photo you gave us…”Jay’s eyes were glued intently on the monitor. The young man shifted the mouse and a woman dressed in punk fashion appeared on the screen.Jay frowned and carefully observed the woman with dreadlocks, lips smeared with lipstick with a cat-eye eyeshadow, trying to suppress the discomfort he was feeling."Zoom in!" Jay barked.Rose's face was enlarged on the monitor and the high-definition image offered a clear view of her face.She still looked the same...Jay narrowed his eyes.How did Rose escape from his escape-proof net back then?He could not fathom how she had managed to stay hidden when the entire world was

    “Bite you? I wouldn’t put my mouth anywhere near something as dirty as you.” Jay raised his eyebrows coolly.He rose from the black leather swivel chair and approached Rose step by step. He peered down arrogantly at Rose from his towering 185cm height."So, Rose. How should you pay me back for what you did five years ago?" Jay asked sinisterly.  Rose's memory of that night was crystal clear. Five years ago, with a little extra courage from alcohol, she had...She drugged that man, and then…“I-I’ve already compensated you!” Rose frantically tried to reason with the tycoon.A flicker of annoyance appeared on Jay’s darkening face. "How about I pay you back tenfold and have you sleep with a man, hm?" Jay reached out and grasped her tiny chin. His anger was like a drowsy lion, ready to pounce at any moment.  Rose saw the flash of scarlet in his eyes. He looked like a predator and she was immobilized by fear."What do you want?"  Jay's hand slipped down to her neckline and he

    Jay picked Rose up and threw her roughly under the desk. He pulled off his azure tie and bound her hands with it to the leg of the table.He then snatched up a rag from the table and stuffed it into Rose's mouth.All Rose could do was continuously lash out at Jay with her two free legs.Unfortunately, her struggles were futile in the face of the vast difference between their strengths.With his prey immobilized in his net, Jay grinned. "Rose, you can be honest with me." He ruthlessly aimed a kick at Rose's short flailing legs.Temporarily satisfied, he then casually whipped out his cell phone and called his baby boy.Rose was left with her hair in a mess, her clothes torn, and her initially snow-white legs covered with bruises.She stared at Jay indignantly and gave out muffled whines from her gagged mouth. She was, however, not crying or anything of the sort.Her inaudible screams were, in fact, a string of obscenities aimed at Jay, cursing that he would get hit by a car if he

    The receptionist nurse at the desk noticed the little boy. He had a head of charming black hair and was dressed in a white T-shirt with an armor print on his chest, a pair of black track pants, and a black mask. The monochrome look of his getup made him look stylish, like something out of an artistic painting. The nurse fancied that he looked just like a little prince from a comic book. ‘He’s so freaking cute!’ "Who are you looking for, little one?" The nurse walked over and greeted him with a warm smile, her voice gentle. "I'm looking for my—my daddy!" the little boy instinctively.‘Mommy said I should always be careful when I'm outside. ‘Don't tell any strangers the truth, except for police officers, of course.’The little guy looked up innocently at the nurse, "Miss, do you know where my father is?"When the petite nurse observed the boy's face, with his big round eyes peeking from under his mask, she was awestruck with a sudden realization. ‘Those eyes are exactly

    It was only then that Jay realized that the robot was the image of a beautiful young woman.‘Is this little guy missing his mommy again?’ he thought, exasperated."Jenson, do you really want to see your mummy—" Jay blurted out without thinking.Jenson stood morosely on the stairs, his tiny body looking particularly lonely and stubborn. He turned to look directly at Jay and nodded solemnly.Jay pursed his lips. He supposed he should count himself lucky that he had not thrown Rose into a brothel yet. Otherwise, Jenson’s selfish nature would never forgive him if he found out that his father had been bullying his mommy.However—Jenson only missed his mommy so much as a result of a poor decision made by Jay.A few years ago, Jay believed that Rose was dead but did not want Jenson to live in a world full of spite. So he cooked up a lie that his mommy still loved him every day.Of course, as he recently found out to his utmost shock, Rose was very much alive.As Jay was contemplatin

    After giving his long and incisive anecdote analysis, Grayson looked at Mr. Ares with a proud and expectant look.Just as he thought Jay was about to praise him for his wit, Jay shot him a deadly look full of daggers."OCD? Autism?" Jay sounded calm but there was definitely underlying anger in his tone.Grayson's forehead started dripping beads of sweat.Grayson bit his own tongue. Even though Master Jenson was a handful and a problematic child, he was still Mr. Ares’s beloved son. The only person who was allowed to criticize Master Jenson was Mr. Ares.If anyone dared to say bad-mouth Master Jenson, they were essentially digging their own graves.Sure enough, Jay said in a dangerous voice, “Grayson, it seems that you know Jenson very well. Why don’t I pass the responsibility of taking care of Jenson to you?”As soon as Jay said that, Grayson's face fell and he begged for mercy,"Mr. Ares, I have my entire family to take care of. Please forgive me. Master Jenson already made el

    As soon as Jay received the notification, he snapped open the homepage of Grand Asia Hospital.When he saw the provocative challenge, the look on his face could kill someone."Master Robbie?" Jay narrowed his eyes and his lips became dangerously thin. "Hehe. Have I been too kind? Is that why some people still aren’t afraid of digging their graves?”The room seemed to drop to subzero temperature and everyone present held bated breaths. All of them feared that they would be the next victim of the president’s anger.‘Too kind? Who, Mr. Ares? As if,’ Grayson thought privately in his head. ‘Everyone agrees that he’s the reincarnation of the King of Hell. Nobody would ever dare to touch a single strand of his hair!’That was, of course, with the exception of the curious Rose.Jay’s potent, chilling gaze fell between Grayson and the monitor. "Did you find who this Master Robbie is?"Grayson lowered his head. Shame-faced, he said, "Our network department has dispatched our best hackers

    “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
