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
Finn was very calm and watched the surveillance video as if he had watched it countless times."Judge, the surveillance video shows that Hiroshi sneaked into Flying Moon Cottage 12 minutes earlier before Angeline. During these 12 minutes, what exactly did Hiroshi do at Flying Moon Cottage?"Finn stopped shortly after. His question made everyone think about it.Then, everyone's focus was on Josephine.Her testimony was important.At that time, the jury box became extremely quiet. Josephine’s mother suddenly grasped Josie's hand tightly as if trying to restrain her.Josie stood up as if a pin had pricked her. Her flickering gaze was cast toward Angeline, and Angeline also looked back at her. Her eyes were gentle, her big eyes smiling as she shook her head.Obviously, she was telling Josie not to jump out and ruin her future.Josie suddenly broke free from her mother’s hand. She pointed at Hiroshi and was almost out of control when she said, "Judge, he… He tried to assault me. Tha
When Josie’s mother saw what was happening, she suddenly stood up and said, "Yes, the food was drugged with something that would make them excited. I just wanted to matchmake my daughter with Hiroshi, but I never had the intention to kill him.”Finn smiled knowingly. He moved his gaze to Yumi."Ms. Titus, would you like to listen to a recording of your brother?"Yumi, who was originally calm, began to get nervous."What recording?""As his sister, you should’ve known that he went to Flying Moon Cottage, right?”Yumi hesitated for a moment and nodded.Finn smiled and said, "Do you admit that you’ve been devising with Madam Ares to make sure Hiroshi and Ms. Josie got together?”Yumi stared at Finn’s serious face as if he had a lot of evidence.Then, she nodded.Finn snapped his fingers and concluded, saying, "Your honor, you’ve heard what she said. Hiroshi going to Flying Moon Cottage was Madam Ares and Ms. Yumi’s arrangement. Therefore, Mr. Waters’ accusation of Ms. Severe p
The judge finally announced, "Mrs. Zonder's motive for murder is established!"Since Hiroshi had no fatal injuries, Mrs. Zonder was sentenced to three years in prison.The unparalleled Finn had electrified everyone in court, even Yumi and Jack were shocked.They were very curious about where Jay had found such an outstanding young lawyer. They thought how great it would be if they could use Finn for their own use. He was like a tiger with wings.However, he merely disappointed them.After the court adjourned, Finn walked straight to Jay."President Ares, your legs–""They’re fine," Jay said."Who did it?" Finn clenched his fists and asked Storm angrily.Storm shot a look at Jack and pointed out, "President Ares didn’t say that he wasn’t going to get his revenge. It’s just not the right time yet.”Finn gritted his teeth. His gentle and harmless appearance disappeared. He suddenly had a dark aura as if he was about to destroy the world. "Okay. When it's time, please avenge him
“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
