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. T
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
Jack’s smile grew colder by the second. “Rather professional now, aren’t you, Mr. Hamilton?” The administrator smiled diligently. “I know you love your son, Ares. Don’t worry. The president is strong. Such small wounds have hardly done any damage to him.”Jack leaned forward and supported his weight on the administrator’s table with his two hands. “What if I suspect mistreatment from the hospital? Would you then have the authority to stop me from pulling the patient out?” “I...” Jack turned around and left. At the intensive care unit, Grayson, members of Ghost, and Grand Asia’s security team gathered around the most critical area of the medical department. There were sentries stationed not far away as well.Ten bodyguards stood by.Entering the intensive care unit, Jack smiled darkly at the stance taken. “Grayson, oh Grayson, isn’t this a bit of an overreaction? You can dismiss the bodyguards. We live in a lawful society, so how could anyone think of causing harm at the ho
Jack questioned, “Are you going to break the law?” Glaring at him with bloodshot eyes, Grayson shouted indignantly, “All I want is to protect my boss so that he doesn’t end up harmed by two-faced b*stards like you.” Jack gave the two men who stood by the room doors, Storm and Tempest, a good once-over. The two seemed skinny and frail, coupled with their exquisite features on their fair porcelain skin, they did not look like fighters. Planning to force his way in and hold Jay hostage as a way to restrict the bodyguard’s movements, he instructed, “Men, I want him out of there.” Around a dozen men he brought over ran toward the room door. With a calm expression on their faces, Storm and Tempest stood like two bam trees, rooted strongly in place to protect their president who was behind those doors. Infuriated, neither Storm nor Tempest held themselves back during the fight. A turning kick from Storm had Jack’s men lying incapacitated on the floor. While those who were met with T
Locked out of Grand Asia, Jack returned to the Sycamore Annex in a foul mood. Sera Severe stood from the couch and waddled toward Jack, asking in a delicate tone, “What’s wrong, Old Master?” Jack spared the two servants a gaze and they quickly excused themselves. Only then did Jack pull Sera into his arms. Caressing her large belly, he smiled. “Just worry about the baby. I promise, both you and our son will live the best lives life as to offer very soon.” Sera’s finger fell onto Jack’s lips as she gave him a flirty smile, “Jay couldn’t have died, could he, Old Master?” Jack huffed coldly. “Grand Asia is keeping Jay’s condition tightly under wraps. My guess is that he doesn’t have much time left, so Grand Asia is doing everything to prevent leaking his condition in case it causes the market to crash.” A flash of disappointment flared in Sera’s eyes. “You can’t be sure if you haven’t seen it with your own eyes yet. This son of yours is smart. I don’t want him learning bad thi
