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
“What are you going to do?” Sera knelt in front of Madam and begged, “Madam, I know you’re truly good to me. I have no ambition in life but only one wish, to marry Master Ares. Madam, please help me accomplish this.” “How do you want me to help you?” Madam was shocked. “Madam, persuade the second lady to testify against Angeline and accuse her of murder. I don’t believe that I can’t snatch Jay’s love away from a murderer,” Sera said confidently. “I’ll help you think… Of a way,” Madam said with difficulty. The twisted expression on Sera’s face returned to normal. “Thank you, Madam.” Suddenly, she knelt on the floor and kissed Madam’s feet as a way of showing her thanks. Madam sighed loudly before she left the room slowly, a solemn expression on her face. As Sera watched Madam’s figure vanish from the doorway, her expression of utmost gratitude changed into one of confusion. Madam’s help toward her was just as Jay had described it. It seemed to be slightly odd. The moon
A vehement expression appeared on Josephine’s face. “It’s all Dad’s fault. If he hadn’t taken it upon himself to be my matchmaker, how could a scumbag like Hiroshi Titus get into Tourmaline Estate?” When she remembered how she had nearly gotten violated by Hiroshi, Josephine was so angry that she could not speak. “The good husband Dad chose for me is clearly a shameless man.” As she spoke, tears fell. “Big Brother, why is Dad doing this to me?” Jay remained silent for a long time before saying solemnly, “Probably because you and I are both not his biological children.” He paused before saying, “Mom’s infertile.” Josephine was stunned. “I’m telling you this because I don’t want you to have too high hopes toward this familial relationship. Else, the cruelty of the real world will crush you.” Disappointment was all over Josephine’s face as she said, “So I’m really not their biological daughter.” Jay said calmly, “However, you’re still mine and Angeline’s little sister. So
Josie looked at her blankly like a puppet."Mom, you look like you’re in a good mood," Josie said.Her mom smiled and said, "I heard that you got better. Why wouldn’t I be happy?”Josie faked a laugh.She was violated by Hiroshi and Sis Angeline took the fall for her. Everything that piled up and everything that happened was not anything to be happy about.However, her mother could not hide her feelings.Her mother sat by the bed, took Josie's hand, and started the process of brainwashing her implicitly and tactfully."Josie, listen to me. Both your brother and your dad think that your thing with Hiroshi is going to be a scandal. Therefore, it’s better to move on with it as soon as possible. Both of them are trying their best to pressure the police. Once the thing with the police is settled, we’ll be hearing the case in court the day after tomorrow."Josie sneered.‘Jay won’t be able to bear to leave Sis Angeline inside for too long, so obviously, he’ll use whatever efforts he
Josie was honest to Jay about what their mother’s plan was.After Jay saw the text message on his phone, he was out of it for a long time.Their gentle and compassionate mother did not mind killing Angeline? Was it because she loved Josephine or was it because of an ulterior motive?It felt as if there was a pair of invisible hands behind him, manipulating everyone with the final goal of dragging Angeline to hell.The court trial was happening soon.Jay was on thin ice.It involved Angeline, so he could not allow himself to make any mistakes.He made careful considerations when strategizing.In the end, Jay decided to play one more trump card.Jay called Grayson. He asked, "Who’s Hiroshi's powerful attorney?”Grayson said, "The Titus family spent a lot of money and hired Conan Waters, a top lawyer in Imperial Capital. Our lawyer is Wes Keating who’s also an experienced lawyer. He’s on par with the other party’s level.Jay replied, "Angeline's attorney must be someone who can
There could only be one reason why someone would deliberately instigate the reporters to ask such sensitive questions–To embarrass him and reduce his public influence.Jay glanced at Jack behind him. Jack had just gotten out of the car and saw that Jay was cornered by the reporters. A smirk appeared at the corners of his mouth.Jack knew that Jay had always been arrogant and conceited. Moreover, he had problems communicating with people and would not bring his personal assistant, Grayson, when he went out for a long time. He thought to himself, ‘Let’s see how he deals with these annoying reporters.’Storm saw Jack's mocking smile. His handsome and unrestrained face pulled into a sneer. There were always people who were not afraid of death that tried to bring President Ares down.Even if President Ares broke his legs, he still had an invincible brain.Although President Ares felt disdain about fighting against the mobs, Storm was the opposite. That was what he was there for.Sto
Josie looked at her father’s back as a wave of tears rolled in her eyes.If it was not for Jay, her father would not care about her reputation.After the court session, Jay finally saw his heart’s greatest desire, Angeline. Angeline smiled at him as if spring had emerged with flowers blossoming. Jay was a little dumbfounded.He was relieved that the girl could keep her bubbliness despite encountering such a big setback."Is anyone giving you a hard time inside?” Jay took the opportunity to ask her.Angeline smiled brightly. "Don’t you know what a patient person I am? How can anyone have the heart to bully me?"A smile slowly formed on Jay’s face, "It doesn’t matter how cute you are. You’re not money, after all. Not everyone can like you."Angeline was defeated. "Okay, okay. I admit that someone has tried to bully me, but after I beat them up, they’re now all nice to me.”Jay's eyes froze. "Turn around and tell me who the person is. I’ll remove them for you.”Angeline became ne
