Rose said hurriedly, “I don’t mind being humiliated, just give me money and shame me! The more the better!”Jay burst out laughing. “Little miser.”He removed a credit card from his suit pocket and handed it to Rose. “Take this!”“Sir Ares, does this even have money in it?” She thought that cash was more substantial.Jay’s face darkened. All of his liquidated assets were in there and here she was, suspecting that it was empty.“Go find out yourself,” he said coldly. Then, Rose happily put it away.Glancing over to her, he asked, “When I gave you money back then, why’d you refuse?”She replied proudly, “That was different. Back then, you wanted me to trade my kids, so of course I wouldn’t do that. Today, I’m selling off my calligraphy. Moreover, that calligraphy is worthless, so why won’t I sell it?”Smiling, he said, “Not bad. At least clean money is important to you.”“Of course.”Suddenly, a shriek of horror came echoing from outside the doors!“My son died a horrible de
The third lady and the woman in black feuded fiercely and violently.Jay’s brows furrowed out of irritation.Rose looked at Jay, as if celebrating this disaster. “Sir Ares, I heard that the Ares family matters are now yours to settle. Surely a man like you who’s unfamiliar with women has no idea how to handle situations like this? Why don’t you call me ‘Big Sis’ and I’ll fix this for you?”Jay, “...”When she saw that he was reluctant, she blew her own horn and said, “I’m a seasoned veteran when it comes to love. If I help you, all you have to do is give me some money!”“Tell me then, just how seasoned are you?”“I’ve been in love for 17 years. You tell me just how seasoned am I.”Jay smiled till traces of it could be seen in his eyes. 17 years… Did that mean she had loved other men before?“I’ve no money left!” Jay replied.After giving his card to her, he was broke.Rose turned down her offer faster than she could turn a page of a book. “Then you’ll have to deal with this y
Rose looked at him timidly. “I want to help her seek justice!”Scowling, Jay said, “Does this mean that you’re going against me?”Rose was adamant. “Yes!”Snickering, he asked, “What are you going to do to defy me?”She replied, “You’re belittling me? Haven’t you heard that bugs with 100 legs never die?”Jay scoffed back at her. “You have only two legs, though. That’s far from 100!”Rose, “...”Damn it, he was being this shameless. This guy was not half bad himself.“Sir Ares, you were being tyrannical,” Rose retorted. “Rose, you’re very naughty today…” Jay’s expression darkened. “You Areses are not short on cash anyway, so just give her some money and maybe she’ll feel better.”“This is not an issue of money.”“You’re just being stingy!”Jay, “...”How had he left her with such a bad impression of him?As the doors of the elevator opened, Zayne and Josephine walked out.Rose leaned her back against the wall and puffed her cheeks, her heaving chest making her look lik
As if on cue, a phone call from Jay came ringing.“Zayne, bring Rose back in here. Also, take your woman away!” Jay started blasting away at the phone.“Sure, sure, sure, Sir Ares.”Zayne wiped the sweat off his brows and escorted Rose back.When she saw him, Josephine glowered at Zayne. “Tell me, is it true that you fancy her and not me?”Zayne said remorsefully, “Sorry, I took the wrong person.”Hearing this, she punched him lightly. “I’ll pound you to death, believe me. How could you even mess up like that?”The two were back together again.Jay’s hand reached over to Rose, yet she hid her hands behind her back, leaving his hands to hang mid-air.After a while, he gave in. “Since you want to give her some form of compensation, I’ll do as you say.”Rose promptly beamed with joy and intimately took his hand. “Sir Ares, the feast is about to begin. Let’s go.”Jay was starting to have a bad headache.Let the feast commence!The seats were all filled by now.At the front wa
Baby Zetty wore a pretty little white dress, looking pure and flawless.All of her kids were anxiously anticipating the union of Daddy and Mommy. It was going to be a union of a lifetime. However, Rose did not want to do this at all.Jenson put his little mouth beside his mother. “Mommy, Daddy said that if you listen to him today, he’ll listen to you from now on.”Rose suddenly remembered!She almost forgot about that. If he failed to destroy her today, tomorrow he would be destroyed by her instead.On that thought, she joyfully strutted up to the stage.She slowly walked toward Jay, her snow-white dress emanating brilliant rays under the lights. Her dress trailed on the floor, held by the children. It was as perfect as a wedding dress.Jay strolled to her and held up her hand, his warm gaze fixating on her dreamy face.“Are… Are you serious about this?” Rose felt like she was in a dream.“Mm,” came Jay’s reply.Rose looked at his expressionless face and thought to herself,
During the dinner, Jay put food on her plate non-stop.Rose saw the mountain of food on her plate and cried out, “Sir Ares, you’re about to literally love me to death.”Hearing her, his face darkened. “Where in the world did you get your big mouth from?”In the past, her words were sweeter than honey. One sentence could make him lose sleep for nights in a row.Now, every word that came out of her mouth was acid, charring and burning him from inside out.If only he knew from whom she got that from, he would cut her up into pieces.He put down his cutlery, his appetite gone.He motioned to the garden outside to rest.Rose followed him out, feeling uneasy. She had nothing to benefit from now that she had offended him.As she stepped out, she was surrounded by a group of noble and aristocratic women. They all admired her and were jealous of her while envying her at the same time.“Miss Loyle, you’re Mrs. Ares now. Please look after us from now on.”“Master Ares cares for you so
After the feast, the guests dispersed accordingly.While Jay sent them off, Rose took the chance and slipped back into Fragrant Vessel Court. She was thinking about how she had to get Jay to sign that contract no matter what.She took out the contract and to her surprise, she noticed that it already had the seal of Ares Films Limited on it as well as Jay’s name.Rose was ecstatic!Since the contract was done, she had no more reason to stay there any longer. It would only give him the chance to harm her. After changing back into her clothes, she took the contract and was getting ready to leave. Coincidentally, Jay arrived home at this very moment.“Where are you going?” Jay’s forehead had veins sticking out of it, his anger seemingly at its peak.Rose knew that he was going to go back on his word.His cunning self finally showed through.She maintained her composure and said, “Sir Ares, you lied to me. You said that no matter what I’ve done wrong, you won’t get angry.”Jay sl
The next day, Jay woke up.He did not see his beloved woman anywhere, but instead, he saw her special ‘present’. He was suddenly furious!This was getting more and more outrageous!“Someone get in here!”When the housekeeper entered the room and saw Jay tied down to the bed, they could not help but gape in disbelief.“Young Master, which b*stard did this to you?”Jay’s eyes were cold as he gazed at the housekeeper intensely. “It was the missus.”The housekeeper covered their mouth. “I apologize, Young Master. I take back my words.”“Mm.”“But why did the missus tie you to the bed?” asked the housekeeper curiously.“The missus likes it rough. Is there a problem?”“No… No problem.”Did the missus like being this rough?After Jay was freed from his shackles, he instantly took his phone and dialed Rose’s number.He could only hear beeping noises on the phone… It was obvious that this girl had blocked his number.Jay gloomily threw his phone against the wall…The housekeeper
“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
