Jack decided to think over Grand Old Master Ares’ words and left with a serious expression.Meanwhile, at Fragrant Vessel Court, the doctor had finished the operation. Sera’s lovely face was filled with tears of sadness. She rose from her bed, pale-faced. Her whole body was weak, but she still managed to walk out of the nursing room.She trembled while she made her way in front of Jay. Weeping, she said, “Brother Jay, what would my late sister think if she knew what you were doing?”Jay furrowed his eyebrows, raised his hand, and slapped Sera. The anger in his glare soaked over Sera’s grief and despair.Jay said furiously, “You have no right to even mention Angeline’s name!”Sera’s face slowly became distorted. The corner of her lips curled into a sneer. “Brother-in-law, my sister will never show mercy to you.”She started becoming hysterical and growled, saying, “She’ll never let you move on with your life!”Jay thought about Angeline’s departure, her ruined face, and the look
Throughout his life, Jordan had faced all sorts of challenges, but he had never surrendered to fate. However, at that instant under Jay’s cold glare, he lost his ability to think.Only after a while did Jordan let out a barely audible sigh. He reminded Jay, saying, “Have you ever thought about why Jack is so protective of Sera?”Jay sneered. He was not a fool. Jack had been acting strange recently. At the back of his father’s love and compassion was cruelty. He knew Sera was just a pawn that his father had placed next to him.The only thing he did not know was how his father’s plan came back to bite him.Seeing some doubt creeping into Jay, Jordan took a few steps toward him.Previously, he had only lived his life for Chloe. He avoided the dark secrets of the Ares family.Now that he had Jay in his life, this was his son who he owed so much to. He could not allow him to be kept in the dark by those hypocrites of the Ares family. In the end, they would only abandon him and stab hi
“Jay, I…”“It was mine wasn’t it?”Jordan was startled.“No…”“Can you let me see the test results?”Jordan laughed it off and replied weakly, “Just act like nothing’s happened okay?”Jay looked at the panic-stricken man before him and said in anger, “Jordan Ares, don’t forget that I’m now in charge of Tourmaline Estate and have complete power. I can monitor every single thing you do.”Jordan looked up, his eyes full of worry. “You’re wrong. If you really had complete power over Tourmaline Estate, you wouldn’t have been helpless on the day Rose was in trouble.”Jay’s cold gaze hardened. “What do you mean?”Jordan replied, “I was once in charge of Tourmaline Estate too. I know how much power the person in charge has. That’s why I was able to live in the underground palace with Chloe all those years without you finding out. Jay, you only have power over the insignificant parts of Tourmaline Estate.”After a pause, Jordan continued, “Grand Old Master Ares is the person in charge
Meanwhile, at a Taekwondo dojo in H Country, eight of the dojo’s trainers stood in two rows. Among them was a slim girl. Although she was wearing a wide Taekwondo uniform and her black belt was wrapped around her thin waist, it could not mask her beauty.“Angeline Severe, surely you’re being arrogant. There’s no way you’d win taking on all of our trainers at the same time,” one of the trainers said unhappily.The girl had on a high ponytail. Her long, dark, and wild hair flowed down to her shoulders, which was in contrast to her small face. She had porcelain skin and facial features that were like a piece of art.Angeline eagerly replied, “You have no idea how much tears and sweat I’ve put into preparing for this day. Once I beat you all, I’ll say goodbye to H Country and never come back here again.”The trainers looked at each other. “We know how much sweat you’ve put into this, but what do you mean by tears?”Angeline replied, “To get to where I am today, I had to leave the peop
“I understand now. JJ, you’re letting us leave because you don’t want to see your father anymore, is that it?“You hate him, and yet you can’t take revenge on behalf of Rose, so you want us to leave. If that would make you feel better, I’m happy to oblige. We’ll leave immediately.”Chloe pulled Jordan’s hand and started walking away.Jay stood there in silence.Jordan looked at Jay lovingly, his lips hesitating and failing to say the word ‘son’.“Jay, you have to take good care of yourself. As long as you’re happy, your mother and I will be happy.” Jordan felt as if something was blocking his throat. He forced himself to say these words, but at the same time, he felt like running away at that moment.As Jordan and Chloe made their way to the front door, Jay, who had been silent for some time, said, “If you face any problems, call my assistant. Don’t try to solve it by yourselves.”Jordan was startled, but his cold face turned into a warm smile.“Will do,” he happily replied.T
At Fragrant Vessel Court. Like a pet who had lost its master, he sank into the loneliness and desolation of the night. Jay sat on the sofa the entire night. For some reason, his heart felt empty.With his parents and Rose gone now, he suddenly felt as if he was all alone in the world. It seemed meaningless to continue with life. “Master Ares!” The vintage mahogany wooden door opened as Grayson stumbled into the room while thunder flashed outside. Jay looked up in shock. His gaze was met with a pale-faced Grayson whose voice trembled as he said, “Master Ares, I just received Quentin’s… Last words. He said that the car’s steering wheel began malfunctioning about half an hour after the car left Tourmaline Estate. I rushed over right away but I was still one step slower. The car had already rolled over into the river…”“What are you saying?” Jay stood up shakily.Grayson was extremely uncomfortable as he forced himself to say the words out, “Master Ares, Old Master and Madam
“President.” Grayson could not care less about the nobodies as he quickly helped President Ares up and carefully brought him into the car. His heart ached as he sped back to Grand Asia. Jay felt groggy as he lay across the back seat. Just as he felt as if he was floating into the sky, the familiar beautiful sound came from his phone.It was Angeline singing Red Spider Lily. Although this was different from the original version, the similarity of Rose’s voice to the original version was enough to give people a certain illusion.It was just as if Angeline was singing it herself. Jay forced himself to open his eyes sorrowfully as he listened to Angeline’s song, and he mustered all his strength to concentrate.“Baby, I’m sorry, I don’t think I can love you anymore.” Jay felt his body abandoning his soul as his soul became lighter and lighter while his body felt heavier by the second.Finally, when he could not hold it anymore, he lost consciousness. …Three days later.

Jack flashed a smile at the lawyer standing beside him. “Mr. Carter, why don’t you tell him?” Mr. Carter stepped forward, clearly quite eager to flaunt his professional knowledge. “Grayson, I think I should remind you that Mr. Ares is the father of Grand Asia’s president. If something unfortunate were to happen to the president, it’s only natural for his father to inherit a share of Grand Asia’s assets.” Grayson’s eyes lit up in anger when he heard Mr. Carter’s emphasis on the words ‘something unfortunate’. “Jack, I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed. My president has a wife and children of his own, so you’ll never get the chance to stick your hand into Grand Asia.” Jack stared at Grayson calmly. “Are you talking about Rose?”Jack gave Mr. Carter a curt nod in an unbearably arrogant manner. “Mr. Carter, show him Jay’s marriage certificate.”Mr. Carter pulled out a document file from a stack of folders, and after flipping it open to check for the right wedding certificat
