Jay said calmly, “Is there a day when you’re not acting odd?” Angeline broke into a sweat. It was true that it was not her first time being rough with him, but it was not a common occurrence. “Love, give it more thought…” Angeline protested coquettishly. Jay’s heart warmed the minute she began acting cutely. He pulled her into his arms and ruffled her hair affectionately. He finally began thinking critically. As something came to mind, the expression on Jay’s face darkened abruptly. “There was something wrong with the wine from yesterday?” Angeline smiled and nodded. “You guessed it.”“So you went to Flying Moon Cottage to be a hero?” Angeline did not hear the discontent and sarcastic undertone in his words. Nodding, she said proudly, “Luckily, I made it in time. Else, your angelic sister would’ve been destroyed by Hiroshi Titus.” Jay’s expression was frosty. “The next time something like this happens, tell me. Don’t go alone.” Angeline peeked at his legs… “But…”
The rich breakfast suddenly tasted like candle wax to Jay. Spitting his pastry into the nearest trash can, he sat with an ugly expression on his face. Were the children trying to hinder his path to happiness? The three children looked at their daddy… Baby Robbie pretended to sigh like an adult. “Ah, even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman.” Jay replied, “The best beauty is not to be found, but to be met. If you have met yours, tell Daddy. I can help you reserve your little wife for you.” Jenson roasted his daddy without hesitating, saying, “Not everyone is a visual animal like you. Besides, not everyone is a pedophile like you.” Jay, “...” “Who taught you to speak like this?” Jay roared angrily. Angeline buried her face in her plate. Jenson glanced at Angeline, an unreadable expression in his eyes. Jay directed his cutthroat gaze over to Angeline and was met with the sight of Angeline burying her face in her plate. Jay did not know if he sh
Jack glared at Josephine. “Josie, what’s going on?” Josephine cried out frantically, “How am I supposed to know? This accident just happened while I was at home, but it has nothing to do with me.”When Jay and Ares arrived at Flying Moon Cottage, Josephine launched herself into Angeline’s arms. “Sis Angeline, they think I’m the one who tried to kill Hiroshi Titus.” Angeline said solemnly, “It’s okay to eat like a pig, but not to talk like one. You’re responsible for the words you utter.”Jay’s gaze was steely. “Is there any evidence?” Yumi said, “The surveillance footage shows that my brother entered Flying Moon Cottage at 6:50 pm last night. Miss Severe arrived not long after. This morning, we found my wounded brother at Flying Moon Cottage after Miss Severe left. Only Miss Ares and Miss Josephine were present last night. If it weren’t them who injured my brother, who could it be?” Jack suddenly said thoughtfully, “Josie can’t even truss up a chicken, so how could she have
She put her lips next to Jay’s ears and said softly, “My love, I’ll help you to protect the people you want to protect. Think of it as me loving the people connected to you.” Jay, “...” Angeline’s words showed her infinite love for Jay. However, she did not know that she was the source of his life and joy. Jay held on tightly to Angeline’s hands as he said vehemently, “Don’t let yourself be bullied when you get there. Even if you tear the sky apart, I’ll patch it back for you.” Angeline smiled sweetly. “Alright.” Worried that she would be bored and lonely, Jay gave her a task. “Use your bright mind to think of this when you’re free. Have you ever offended anyone? It’s obvious that the person behind this wanted to frame you.” Angeline said smugly, “I’m beautiful and loved by you. Lots of people are jealous of me.” Jay, “...” He nearly choked on his spit in anger. “What’s in that mind of yours?” Jay asked angrily. It was a matter of life and death, yet she was not tak
Grayson spoke hesitantly, “Jack has teamed up with Bell Enterprise and Titus Enterprise to boycott Grand Asia. I’m afraid that we’re in trouble this time.” Jay reminded him, saying, “We have insiders in Bell Enterprise.” Grayson was enlightened. “Sean Bell.” Ever since Jay had helped Sean make things difficult for Stanley Bell, the performance of Bell Enterprises had fallen steadily. While Stanley’s position in Bell Enterprises was becoming lower, Sean was becoming the new face of Bell Enterprise. Jay said quietly, “In the end, Bell Enterprise still belongs to others.”Grayson said, “The reason we had Ares Enterprises produce those important parts back then was that Mr. Ares thought that Ares Enterprises and Grand Asia were a family. However, Ares Enterprises is taking revenge on Grand Asia. It’s truly a chilling sight to watch. It seems that Grand Asia needs to forge a path for themselves in producing parts.” Jay had another idea. “Get Severe Enterprise to be in charge of t
Stanley Bell was stopped by Jack the moment he arrived at the doors. “Stanley.” Stanley smiled. “Ah, it’s Jack. I heard that your spirit has been undefeatable lately.” Jack smiled and said, “And I heard that your position in Bell Enterprise is in danger.” Stanley frowned. “Hmmph, and that’s all thanks to your son. My title of chairman is now nothing more than a title.” Jack leaned toward Stanley, a cunning smile on his face. “Stanley, how would you like to take revenge?” Stanley had heard rumors that Jack and Jay had cut each other off from their lives. Now, he guessed it to be true. “Jack, are you here to help me?” Jack replied, “Why don’t we talk somewhere else?” The two men arrived at Stanley’s office. Jack said, “Stanley, as long as you’re willing to support me in one thing, I swear that I can help you regain control of the entire Bell Enterprise.” “What do you want?” “For Ares Enterprises and Grand Asia to split. Ares Enterprises has stopped manufacturing the
This time, Jack was forced to admit defeat. He could not help but admire Jay’s foresight and meticulousness when dealing with a problem. Grayson smiled as he left. As he watched Grayson’s thin figure leave them, Jack burst forth and caught up with him. Grayson had just got into the lift when Jack slipped in with him.“Does the old master have something to say to me?” Jack hesitated before saying, “Grayson, I’m aware of your abilities. You should know that one should always go with the flow. Grand Asia is no longer as grand as it used to be. Now that Jay is paralyzed in both legs and you have lost the support of Ares Enterprises, Grand Asia won’t be able to hold on for much longer. However, if you’re willing to join us at Ares Enterprises, I promise that I’ll treat you well.” Grayson smiled awkwardly. “Old Master, seeing how kindly you’ve treated me, consider it kindness when I remind you of the idiom, ‘keep your friends close, but your enemies closer’. If you want to bring m
Jack opened his eyes slowly and his gaze landed upon Sera’s young face. Although Sera’s looks were not as breathtaking as Angeline’s, she was beautiful in a bashful sort of way. Humble since birth, she was good at reading the room and slipping through the cracks to cling to the powerful. When she saw that Jack was planning to suppress Jay’s force, Sera mentally calculated what would be her best moves to gain the most benefits. Feeding Jack the oranges she had peeled, she smiled sweetly. “Old Master Jack, aren't they sweet?” Her eyes glittered. Jack felt himself swoon at her smile. Without a second thought, he swept her into his arms and bent down to kiss her. Sera intended to cling to his power, but she did not want to be with him as a couple. Immediately, she covered his mouth with a hand and rejected him politely. “Old Master Jack, Madam is outside.” Jack might have considered that back when he was still pretending to be a kind father who was an unquestioning saint. How
“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
