"No matter how pitiful you might be, you must have a despicable side." Jay cast a disdainful glance at Rose and did not want to speak another word to her. He turned around and spoke to the children instead. "Go upstairs and get dressed. Daddy will bring you to Aunt Josephine's birthday party." The children cheered and dashed up the stairs. Rose sighed almost imperceptibly. Her eyes were getting misty. She closed her eyes to hold back her tears. She knew that he bore no feelings for her, so why was she still hoping that he did? Without that hope, she would not have to keep living in agony. Rose shook away the unhappy thoughts and left through the front door. Josephine's birthday party was held at Grand Asia Club. In the cavernous grand hall, the ceiling was decorated like the starry sky. A sea of blooming flowers adorned both sides of the red carpet. The guests were young and good-looking. They moved around in the hall holding glasses of champagne and wine, creating a pl

Josephine hugged Rozette tightly. Her face was brimming with joy. "You're a good girl, Zetty." Jay's gaze fell profoundly on Josephine. Why was his sister so fond of Rozette? To him, Jenson and Robbie were the ones who carried the Ares bloodline. John came over and noticed the three cute cherubs. "Who's that sweet angelic porcelain doll, Jay? Don't tell me she's your daughter?" Jay ignored him. John continued speaking. "I don't think you've accumulated a lot of good karma from your deeds, but why is God treating you so well? Fate has granted you with Jenson, the genius. The cute and athletic Robbie then appeared. Now, you have another chubby and adorable daughter. Everyone is envious!" "She is not my daughter." Jay corrected him. John's gaze remained on Zetty and did not look away. Her face was like a soft bun, and her porcelain skin was so tender that it looked almost juicy. Her big eyes were like a rabbit's and were clearer than a mountain spring and brighter than jewel

The party started.In the middle of the hall, the lights were colorful. They looked like pearls and diamonds. On the dance floor, the handsome young man and his beautiful partner danced elegantly.Outside the dance floor, Jay drank and mingled with the guest. The way he drank was bold and unruly. He also looked sexy and elegant. His entire body radiated the air of a noble prince. One would be mesmerized by him. Countless socialites were surrounding him. They were wearing expensive dresses and limited edition jewelry. They looked extremely posh.Rose sat at one corner. She looked reserved. Despite her best efforts to hide in the dark, she was dressed too beautiful today. Plus, her temperament stood out in the crowd. She was extremely dazzling like a shiny body in the dark. Occasionally, men would walk over her and invite her enthusiastically. “Miss, can you do me the honor of dancing with me?”Rose would reject all of them. “I’m sorry, I don’t know how.”It was not that she did n

Jay walked up to Rose and saw several young noblemen around her. They were full of praise for Rose."Miss Loyle is not only beautiful but also dances well. I wonder which university you studied in. It must be one of the top universities in the country, right?"Jay stopped to stare at Rose with a slight frown. As far as he knew, Rose's degree was low-ranked—it was only from an insignificant third-tier university.The man who asked her the question was Nancy's brother, Gale Bell. He was trying to embarrass Rose.Jay was hesitating whether to help Rose or not, but Rose smiled and calmly retorted, "I heard Young Master Bell was also a student with poor grades in high school, making all the teachers have headaches. However, Young Master Bell went abroad to touch up for a few years and came back in high spirits. Young Master Bell and I have the same experience in our studying process. We thought little of our studies here. Only when we went abroad did we realize that the moon in a foreig

Jay held Rose's hand and walked toward the center of the dance floor.The previously noisy hall place suddenly quieted down. Everyone’s attention was at the center of the dance floor.Rose was like a puppet being manipulated as she trembled and looked at Jay. When the music started, she was still a little shocked and stood unmoving.Jay frowned. He rudely took her into his arms and placed his lips next to her ears. He threatened in a low voice, "Rose, it’s fine if you want to embarrass yourself, but don’t bring me down with you.”Rose snapped out of it quickly. He was a public figure. Every move and word he said was under the microscope of the public. If they embarrassed themselves, he might appear in the news for days.For a man like him who had never lost a day in his life, would it not cost millions for him to lose face?Rose tried to focus. With the familiar music and familiar dance partner, she was able to put herself quickly into the right state of mind.Jay did not expect
