Angeline stared at him with an exceedingly smug look on her face. "So what’s it going to be? Want to work for me?""No," he said through gritted teeth.This woman did a background check on him?"I will pay back what I owe as soon as I can." Jay sat up from the hospital bed, pushed back the covers, and left.Angeline dropped her head, looking extremely defeated."What about the blueprint? Aren’t you going to take responsibility now that there’s something wrong with the blueprint?" Angeline yelled at his tall and straight back.Jay stood at the door, his tone carrying a trace of acerbity. "I’m sure you know that I didn’t make that mistake. Don't use those dirty tricks on me just to get me. This will only make me despise you more."Then, he flicked his sleeves and left.Angeline was so furious that she kicked the hospital bed. “What are you so proud of? How dare you look down on me, Jay Ares? Who was the one who pursued and coaxed me back then? Damn!"After Jay left Grand Asia Ho
Angeline said, "It’s not because I don’t want to beat you up, but it’s because there are just too many things waiting for me to do that I don't have the extra energy to deal with you."Zayne was struck dumb.Despite Jay’s harsh treatment, Angeline was still worried about him."Find him, Zayne. Arrange an easier job for him," Angeline said, massaging the area between her brows."He has lost his memory and is no different from an unlearned, ignorant man like you."With that, Zayne's inferiority complex from being suppressed by Jay for so many years had finally achieved a balance. "Perfect then. I’m currently looking for a bodyguard."Angeline glared at him. "You only know how to fool around all day long. Your friends are either idlers or don’t have a legitimate business or profession, and the people you offend are the underworld’s desperados or ruffians. It’s too dangerous for him to be your bodyguard.”Zayne twitched his mouth. "If that’s the case, should I put him in a museum an
"What do you mean by just the right amount?" the reporter asked, puzzled.“When we run into problems, we should be brave enough to share our difficulties with one another instead of bearing the weight alone and suffering in silence."Quietly, Jay stared at Angeline on the screen, a questioning sneer pouring out of his eyes.She portrayed such indiscriminate love in front of him, yet pretended to sound loyal during the interview.What a drama queen!Zayne appeared abruptly and sat down next to Jay.He stared at the screen and roasted Angeline to his heart’s content. "I know this tigress. She’s Grand Asia Empire’s empress. Her eyes are usually placed on the back of her head and she carries herself in an extremely haughty manner. She has a bunch of male board members beneath her who will do whatever she tells them to."Jay looked at Zayne, a trace of unapproachable loftiness and coldness intermingling in his deep, profound eyes.“Get lost." His voice was low and terrifying, like t
Zayne replied, "Rozette Ares. You can just call her Baby Zetty."“Okay.”Jay left after the two exchanged phone numbers.Zayne sighed and said grumpily, "You should be the one to beg me. Why do I feel like I’m the one who’s begging you instead?"After accomplishing his task, Zayne went to Garden Of A Diary to report it to Angeline.Coincidentally, Baby Zetty was there too.As soon as Zayne saw Baby Zetty, he said smugly, "I found you a piano teacher, Baby Zetty. I promise that you’ll like him a lot after you see him."After three years, Baby Zetty had grown from a chubby ball of fur into a slender young lady. She had attractive eyebrows and clear, beautiful autumn pupils that looked so profoundly beautiful. She wore a pair of white shoes on her long fair legs, which gave her a mature charm without sacrificing her innocence and cheerful demeanor as a young lady. When she heard that Zayne had hired a piano teacher for her, Baby Zetty pouted and protested at once. "I don't need a
Jay walked elegantly over to Baby Zetty and stood before her. He gently said to her, “If you don’t like me being your piano tutor, then I can leave immediately. You don’t have to throw a tantrum.”Baby Zetty looked at him with her beady eyes. She wanted to call him ‘Daddy’ so badly, but her mommy had told her not to do anything which would agitate her daddy.Jay stood up and looked at Finn apologetically. “I think you should ask for someone else.”Finn looked at Baby Zetty helplessly, his eyes pleading at her.As Jay turned around and walked away, a little hand suddenly grasped at him. Jay turned around and saw Baby Zetty looking at him with her beady eyes. She said in a pitiful tone, “Mister, I’m sorry. Please stay and be my teacher, okay?”Jay shuddered, surprised by Baby Zetty’s sudden change in attitude. He could not figure out why, but when he saw Baby Zetty cry, his heart softened. “Okay.”Finn breathed a sigh of relief. Baby Zetty passionately pulled Jay over to the
After all, they had once loved each other so much.Baby Zetty suddenly got up from her seat. “Mister, just give me one moment.”Then, Baby Zetty ran downstairs and made Jay a cup of his favorite Earl Grey tea before bringing it upstairs. “Mister, please have some tea.”Jay was slightly bemused as he smiled. “Thank you.”Jay was still aware of what he was there for. After he had his tea, he sat on the piano bench with both his slender hands on the ivory keys. He said, “I think I’m going to try this Red Spider Lily.” Baby Zetty was overjoyed. “That’s awesome.”Jay shut his eyes, the familiar melody playing inside his head.Perhaps it was because of his extraordinary memory that he had the entire piece all memorized in his mind. Perhaps it was that distant memory that guided his hand, allowing him to flawlessly play through the entire piece. Baby Zetty gave him a round of applause. “Mister, you played this song too well.”When Jay played Red Spider Lily, the melody was thic
Baby Zetty was reluctant. “Mister, would you be coming tomorrow?”Jay replied gently, “Yes.”“Mister, can I have your number, please?”“Of course,” Jay said as he gave her his number.Baby Zetty gave him a big hug. “Mister, please come earlier tomorrow.”“Alright.” Jay caressed Baby Zetty’s silky hair, feeling warm inside. He felt weird. Why would his own son not give him this sort of treatment?After he left Horizon Colors, Jay called for a cab and hurriedly left for Tourmaline Estate. It was quite the distance from Imperial Capital to the outskirts. Just when he was worried about the fare, his phone rang. It was a notification about a fund transfer. It was from ‘Lady Of The Empire Without Sunset’.The Lady Of The Empire Without Sunset left a message. ‘Teacher Ben, I’m Baby Zetty’s mommy. The kid loves your lessons. For the next year, I shall have you booked for classes, so please don’t accept any other jobs. By the way, I’ve paid the entire year’s fees upfront. If the am
This woman really was the queen of all she-devils. As to the rule that men should not lay a finger on women, she might just be the only exception. Angeline, “...”Angeline was furious, so she roared at Grayson. “Grayson, are you blind? Can’t you see these two people taunting your president? Drag them out!”Grayson had a horrible look on his face. He walked over to Jay and said to him amiably, “Sir, the president isn’t in a good mood today. If there are any more matters, I’d suggest that you come again tomorrow.”Jay replied, “It must be her menopause that she’s not in a good mood every day.”Angeline was livid. “Do you think that because you have those looks that I’ll spare you?”Jay’s face was ashen.He knew that Angeline viewed him as some sort of adonis who could be pushed around. This was a direct humiliation for a dominant man like Jay.Grayson saw that both of them were about to erupt into a full-on fight, so he quickly diffused the situation. He said to Jay with a frien
“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
