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
“She can’t be Angeline Severe, though?” Jack howled suddenly. “Angeline Severe died nine years ago.” The law enforcement officers shared a suspicious look, their gazes fleeting between Jack and Angeline. “One of the two of you are lying.” Jack pointed at Angeline. “It’s her. She’s the liar. She’s not Angeline Severe. You can check her files, officer.” Right as the law enforcement officer took out his phone to enlist the help of another department, Angeline quickly stepped up to interrupt. Approaching Mr. Carter who stood next to Jack, Angeline reached for the transparent file in his hands. She took out a marriage certificate and handed it to the officer. “I’ll cut you some trouble. Take a look at the date on my husband and I’s marriage certificate. That should tell you if I’m the Ares family’s daughter-in-law or not.” Then, she opened to show the first page of the certificate where the law enforcement officers could see the beautiful smile of a lady with bright eyes. She
