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
With widened eyes, everyone asked in anticipation, “Who?” Grayson replied, “Our little young master whose wits could rival that of the president.” Storm immediately rejected the idea. “No way. I promised the president I would ensure the little young masters and the little young lady’s safety. Letting Little Young Master Jenson help would risk having his location revealed. That would endanger the children.” Grayson patted Storm on the shoulder and reassured, saying, “You’re worrying too much. Only those with a death wish would try to provoke the three little devils.” Eyeing Storm’s hesitation, Grayson asked, “Unless you wish to see all of the president’s hard work come to naught?” Storm nodded grimly. Imperial Capital, the Throne Properties. On the best part of the land stood a villa where the Ghosts had built their home. Bringing Grayson to the villa, Storm found Baby Robbie lying on the floor sunbathing as beanbags tied his feet together. Lying in front of Robbie was
After a long while only did it dawn on Storm and Grayson that the two boys did not want to study. “Do the two of you not like academics?” Grayson felt the situation to be a little off. Jenson was a quiet boy, preferring to stay still than to move about. How could he possibly wish to put off studying for martial arts? As expected, Baby Robbie waged a finger at them. “That’s untrue. We don’t wish to be simpletons who are more brawn than brains. Instead, we’re striving to be all-rounded, well-developed beings of mankind.” Storm and Grayson’s expressions darkened. Storm gulped. “Would you two little devils speak English? What are you trying to say?” Baby Zetty smiled joyfully. “You can’t really blame others for calling you stupid when you are. Big Brothers’ words are already so straightforward, so how can you still not understand what they’re trying to say? Sigh.” Storm was speechless. “...”Storm looked at Grayson. “Did you understand?” Shrugging, Grayson shook his head.
A spark of suspicion flashed in Jenson’s eyes. “What about Daddy?” Grayson felt his heart bleed as a bitter smile was donned on his face. “Oh no, we couldn’t possibly disturb him for something so trivial. You know how your Daddy is. He’s a busy man with packed schedules and all.” Jenson’s sharp and onyx gaze locked onto Grayson’s. “So busy he doesn’t have time for us anymore? Does he not fear no one coming to visit his tomb when he dies of old age?” A piercing flare of pity flashed in Grayson’s eyes. If only the president would die of old age! Jenson’s pupils contracted as his heart clenched in fear. The only reason Daddy had not come to visit them for so long was that he had been held back by some immovable obstacle.Now even Grand Asia was in a crisis. Perhaps the situation was way worse than he had anticipated. “Hand me the laptop,” Jenson requested.Grayson quickly placed his notebook into Jenson’s hands. Jenson hugged the laptop in his arms as he ran toward the s
Jenson’s deep gaze locked onto Grayson’s face. “I can take it. Tell me.” Storm still wished to cover up the tragedy. “Don’t trust what you see online, Jens. They’re just rumors.” Grayson waved a hand at Storm. “It’s fine, we can tell him. This child isn’t easy to lie to.” Grayson cleared his throat. Now that the lie had been seen through, he found no need to mask his emotions either. Miserably, he began, “Something did indeed happen to your daddy. He almost lost his life in an ambush on his way to save your biological grandparents. As of right now, he’s still under immediate treatment at Grand Asia’s intensive care unit.” Baby Robbie’s pupils dilated in shock. It was as if his entire body had been steered by fury. The fists under his sleeves clenched tightly on their own accord. Jenson’s expression was frightfully serene. “Who did it?” Grayson replied, “We don’t know yet. But your other Grandpa, Jack Ares, has been busy lately. He even tried to move your father from the med
Jack was extremely appalled. “What?” The news shocked him, draining his previously bright spirit and making him look like he had his soul sucked out by the devils. He appeared drained and despondent beyond comprehension. “How could that be?” Jack muttered to himself in disbelief. Jack had purposefully housed a team of the best hackers just to break through Grand Asia’s networking system. They spent every day investigating and finding faults in the system. Not to mention these hackers of his actually had the ability to break through Grand Asia’s network years ago. The only reason nothing had happened then was because Grand Asia was flourishing and he feared Jay would suspect him. Here he thought it would be the critical moment to launch an attack on Grand Asia now that Jay was severely wounded in the hospital. He had not expected that they would be able to restore the stagnant network in less than three hours. Knowing that there was some skilled professional overseeing Grand
Grayson followed them out the corridor in dejection. Among the blind, the one-eyed man was king! Jack immediately dropped his facade to order the administrator. “Administrator, give me the documents to discharge my child. I want to move hospitals!” Grayson closed his eyes hopelessly. However, right at that moment, the elevator doors suddenly opened. Rose-scented perfume permeated the air, attracting all eyes around the place. A black stiletto took the first step out with an oppressive aura, followed by a beautiful figure in a red one-piece dress. Despite the enchanting outfit and the black tulle that covered her face mysteriously, the overpowering aura she gave off had not been deterred as it cut through the atmosphere anyway. Members of law enforcement made an unconscious move to the walls, allowing her a wide road to strut upon. However, she stopped right in front of Grayson and shook her head disappointingly as she took in his ashen appearance. Then, she lifted the c
“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
