Then, a few pairs of eyes swept toward Jay. They were waiting to see how he would punish Angeline, this troublemaker.Angeline smacked her lips and muttered softly, “Isn’t it just an orchid?”Jay’s comic book-like face was very ugly looking. This girl had probably forgotten the origins of this orchid.It was her who had cried and wailed, wanting to save the orchid 15 years ago. He had comforted her over and over again, saying, “It’s just an orchid.”Yet, she cried heart-wrenchingly, louder than those crying mourners. She even cried for a long time.At last, he was at his wit’s end, so he looked up a lot of knowledge about orchid cultivation. Finally, with his miraculous hands, the orchid was saved.Only then did she leave it at that.Remembering the earth-shattering scene of her crying when she was a child, he still had a lingering fear now.“Save it, or pack up and leave.” Jay threw his words coldly and left in his wheelchair.Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty gave Angeline a gloati
“Master Ares, I heard that your legs can’t be healed anymore?” The clear and melodious voice, mixed with complex emotions, rang slowly.Jay frowned. “Why are you here?” There was ice in his voice.Sera smiled and walked in front of him, looking down at Jay in the wheelchair condescendingly.She sneered at him, “I really didn’t expect that the prince who ran things on his own in Imperial Capital would become disabled.”Jay’s hawk eyes were covered in ice, and his gaze was like knives, squinting at Sera.Sera’s belly was already very pregnant. She was due in a few days.A pregnant woman who was almost in labor looked unaesthetic.The disgust in Jay’s eyes was even more intense.Sera felt uncomfortable with his icy gaze. In order to regain her dignity, her words became acrid.“Master Ares, doesn’t it feel unpleasant to fall from so high in the clouds?” She put on a mocking smile.Jay did not speak.Sera felt that the Jay who could tolerate this much was really different from be
Jay sneered arrogantly, “Sera, you’d better not disappoint me.”Sera was dumbfounded.She had initially thought that Jay’s arrogance would be subdued since he was crippled and he would change his bad temper.His arrogance had unexpectedly gotten even worse.“Master Ares, who gave you the confidence to be this arrogant? You’re just a cripple.” Sera’s gaze landed on his legs once again. An outraged and ferocious expression from her unrequited love appeared on her face.Jay’s hawk eyes narrowed a little.Sera had completely provoked his anger!When he was about to release his thunderous wrath, a loud slap was suddenly heard in the air.Five fingerprints appeared on Sera’s face instantly.Jay looked up and saw Josephine looking at Sera in disdain. Josephine scolded, “Is a depraved woman like yourself even worthy of being involved with my brother?”Sera covered her face in anger. “Josephine Ares, you dare hit me?”Josephine smiled and said, “I’ve already hit you. You should be hi
Angeline said with a grievance, “Sir Ares, you had me take care of the orchid, and yet you went out for a stroll instead. I don’t have the ability to duplicate myself. Next time, I hope you don’t leave my sight.”Seeing her accusing her big brother, Josephine was surprised and angry. “You, a little caretaker, have the nerve to accuse Sir Ares of being in the wrong? I think you don’t want to work anymore, yes?”Angeline looked at the aggressive Josephine. She did not want to become enemies with her best sister in the past, so she simply shut her mouth.Josephine rattled on, “Little caretaker, seeing that it’s your first offense today, I’ll forgive you. If you slack one more time, I definitely won’t spare you.”Angeline dropped her head and was schooled silently.“Big Brother, your caretaker’s attitude is really arrogant. Why did you choose her to be your personal caretaker?” Josephine was very dissatisfied with Angeline’s dereliction of her duties.Angeline also seemed very curiou
Josephine wiped the cold sweat for Angeline. "This is what my sister-in-law left for my brother..."Before she could finish speaking, Jay's sharp gaze was thrown at her again. Josephine quickly quieted down.Angeline immediately stepped forward and argued, saying, "Mr. Ares, don't be angry. Listen to me. It's because this bluegrass is extra delicate, that’s why I transplanted them into separate pots. Now there are four pots of bluegrass and there should be one or two pots that will survive even if things don't end well. “And… All of them might survive if you’re lucky. When the time comes, who knows if the bluegrass here will then breed thousands from only one plant. Maybe by then it’d even be possible to breed a bluegrass garden..." Josephine burst into laughter. "Breeding thousands of offspring from only one plant? Haha, Miss, aren’t you being too imaginative?"However, Jay looked soothed for some reason.It was probably Angeline's phrase ‘Breed thousands of offspring w
As soon as Josephine entered Sycamore Annex, Jack scolded Josephine angrily, "Josephine, who allowed you to do something like this to Sera?"Josephine remained arrogant and said, "Dad, before you lose your temper at me, shouldn’t you ask me why I beat her? This woman is shameless. She even tried to hook up with Big Brother, then she became ashamed and insulted Big Brother when she failed to do so. Shouldn't she be slapped?" "You’re wrongly accusing me. How could I possibly try to hook up with your big brother? He’s crippled now," Sera said. Josephine rushed forward in extreme anger. "You dare to call my brother a cripple? I’ll rip your mouth." Jack then ordered his subordinates, "Stop the second lady." Several subordinates immediately grabbed Josephine. Jack then walked over and slapped Josephine severely without saying anything.Josephine looked at Jack in disbelief. "Dad, didn't you hear? This woman called Big Brother a cripple. Instead of teaching her a lesson, you
Josephine cried and said, "Dad, Big Brother isn’t my guardian. You kicked me to Big Brother like a ball and ignored me for so many years. Don't you think this is being too cruel toward me?" "Josephine, what do you mean? Are you accusing us of not taking good care of you?" Jack roared. Josephine was frightened by Jack's fierce aura, so she did not dare to fight with Jack. She shrunk her neck timidly and said, "Dad, that’s not what I mean." However, Jack's anger hardly disappeared. "Look at you, you used to be so rebellious. You even ruined your innocent body for a man. The reason we handed you over to your brother was that we hoped that he could lead you down the right path. “Yet, now it seems that this was really the wrong decision. He has raised you into a good for nothing who doesn't want to improve." This was the most humiliating and hurtful memory in Josephine's life. Jack spoke without giving a care, causing Josephine's face to turn pale. Her entire body was
Angeline replied smoothly, “Weren’t you the one who wanted me to leave?” Jay refuted roughly, “If you want to leave, then get to it. You’re an eyesore!” He felt himself go mad. Just because he had told her to, she would obediently follow his words? Then why had she not listened so obediently when he begged her to stay and to never leave him alone? What a difficult person to live with. Forcing her to stay by him would only worsen his already horrible mood. Angeline felt the corners of her eyes sour. She suddenly flopped into the chair next to the bed. She did not want to leave at all. To convince the president to change his mind, Angeline decided to show her special skill. “I can’t leave yet, Mr. President. The situation at home isn’t very good. My husband’s sick and it costs a lot to pay for his medication and his care worker. Not to mention the kids... I still have to pay their school fees too. My family will be done for if you fire me.” Every smidge of despair within
“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
