Chapter 1121
"Congratulations, Dad. You're going to be the richest man in Imperial Capital," Sera said.
Steven smiled smugly. "You've made a major contribution, Sera. You'll be Bell Enterprise's heir from now on."
When Sera envisioned Bell Enterprise's prosperity after it annexed Grand Asia and how she would soon become Bell Enterprise's righteous heir, she felt like she had just used a cheat code in her life. When the time came, she vowed to visit Angeline with her chin up. If she could see her in dire straits, then she would be even more pleased.
After leaving the Ares family, Jay drove a Ferrari to Horizon Colors straight away.
He was suddenly in high spirits because he was about to meet his daughter.
When he rang the doorbell, Finn came to open the door and the sight of him took him by surprise. At the thought of Finn living together with Baby Zetty, a touch of displeasure rose in Jay's heart. "Mr. Ben!" Finn looked surprised.
"Where's Baby Zetty?" Jay asked with a lukewarm expression.
He used to find Finn pleasant and thought he was both talented and good-looking. However, after learning that this boy might end up coveting his baby daughter, Jay immediately found him displeasing to the eye.
At this moment, Baby Zetty ran downstairs in a tight singlet and miniskirt. Her figure that was still going through puberty looked strikingly beautiful.
She was over the moon when she saw Jay and let out a shriek of delight from afar. "Uncle Ben."
Baby Zetty threw herself into Jay's arms very naturally.
Jay was smiling. At this moment, he finally knew why he had such strong feelings for Baby Zetty whenever he saw her.
It turned out that Baby Zetty was his biological daughter.
When Jay and Finn's gazes fell on Baby Zetty's long, slender, and fair legs, their eyes darkened at once.
"Go and change your clothes," Finn ordered with a dark face.
Baby Zetty muttered with her cheeks puffed up, "All the girls in my class wear miniskirts, so why can't I? You're not that old, Finn. Why are you so pedantic?" "That's because other people's legs aren't as goodlooking as yours. Men will look at you lustfully if you expose your bare legs out there like that." Finn
flattered her in between clenched teeth.
Baby Zetty was open to persuasion, but not to coercion.
Baby Zetty said, "With you protecting me 24 hours a day, not even a male fly can touch me, let alone those evil men."
Finn pulled a long face and said, "Just go and change. Stop giving so many excuses."
Baby Zetty sighed and went upstairs. In no time at all, she came back downstairs after changing into a pair of dark blue jeans and a loose shirt.
Jay and Finn sat on the couch, whereas Baby Zetty sat down next to Finn while clutching at his arms like an octopus.
Finn's dashing face turned slightly dark. He wanted to flare up, but because Jay was beside him, he could only retract his hand in silence.
He then shifted closer to Jay's side.
When Jay noticed how dreadful Finn looked, he suddenly recalled what Angeline said. 'If you see anything inappropriate, then don't blame Finn because Baby Zetty is definitely the initiator.' Jay frowned. Baby Zetty probably had never drunk any inferior milk before, right? Why was she so precocious then?
Baby Zetty leaned toward Finn shamelessly and clasped Finn's arms again with both hands.
Finn hopped up anxiously and chided Baby Zetty," Men and women should keep a safe distance from each other, Baby Zetty." Baby Zetty patted her chest and said, "Don't treat me as a girl, then. Just think of me as your buddy. I'm a tough and manly girl!"
Finn looked at Jay with a gaze that was asking for help.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became inexplicably strange.
Jay cleared his throat and said, "Let go of Uncle Finn, Baby Zetty."
He deliberately stressed the word 'uncle' with the intention to remind Baby Zetty not to harbor any improper thoughts.
Chapter 1122
Chapter 1122
Baby Zetty quickly corrected him, saying, "No, he's Brother Finn, not Uncle Finn."
Jay said, "Let Brother Finn go then."
Baby Zetty pouted before letting go of Finn's arms.
Finn felt as though a great burden had been lifted off his shoulder.
When Baby Zetty was done torturing Finn, she moved on to torturing Jay instead.
"Uncle Ben, our school is going to hold a parentteacher conference, but neither my mommy nor Finn can attend. Can you pretend to be my daddy and attend the meeting?" Baby Zetty pleaded.
Afraid that Jay would feel awkward, Finn took the initiative to offer. "I am free!"
Jay's dashing face darkened. Lying had become Baby Zetty's second nature. This was not a good sign at all.
Baby Zetty started sadfishing. "Every time there's a parent-teacher conference, other students will laugh at me and say that I'm a savage child who doesn't have a daddy. Why don't you help me this time, Mr. Ben? If my classmates know that I have such a handsome daddy, then they won't laugh at me anymore."
Finn exposed her scheme and said, "This was the same excuse you used when you invited me to the parent-teacher conference last time!"
When Baby Zetty's plan was mercilessly exposed by Finn, she puffed up her cheeks angrily. "Why are you saying it aloud? I just want Mr. Ben to attend the parent-teacher conference with me for once." Finn's complexion darkened. "Don't lie to Mr. Ben."
Baby Zetty murmured, "It's called a white lie."
Jay beckoned to Baby Zetty, saying, "Come here, Baby Zetty."
When Baby Zetty walked over to him, Jay suddenly stroked her head affectionately and lectured her sternly. "Daddy will accompany you to the parentteacher conference, but you must not lie anymore from now
on."
Baby Zetty and Finn were so astounded that their eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.
It dawned on them that Jay knew his identity already.
Finn sprung up from his seat and addressed him reverently, "Master Ares!"
As soon as he addressed him, tears welled up in his eyes.
Jay patted him on the shoulder, offering silent consolation.
Baby Zetty wrapped her arms around Jay's neck and started wailing. "Daddy! Why did it take so long for you to come back? Do you know how much I missed you?"
Jay's eyes were moist with tears. "I'm sorry, Baby Zetty. Daddy will never ever leave you again."
The father-daughter reunion was a touching scene to behold.
Grand Asia's president's office.
Grayson rushed to the president's office anxiously.
"Something terrible has happened, Ms. Severe. Our internal network has been invaded by hackers and our top-secret data was tampered with. The Cyber Security Department tried to repair the data but they couldn't fix it!"
Angeline's complexion paled. The series of incidents happening lately all raised an alarm. The mastermind behind it had layered barriers upon barriers for Grand Asia just to wait for the perfect opportunity to send the final and most deadly blow to them.
Angeline stood up and walked to the Cyber Security Department. She had to deal with the hacker herself.
However, she had just stepped out the door when she bumped into Sera who arrived uninvited.
Sera was holding a stack of documents. The wounds on her face had yet to heal, which made her look even more sinister and terrifying.
"What are you doing here?" Angeline paused in her steps and asked in surprise.
Sera stood in front of her and grinned maliciously. "Big Sis, oh no, we're not the Severe sisters anymore. I need to address you as Ms. Severe respectfully."
"Stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point." Angeline frowned.
Sera said, "I'm here to handle Grand Asia Ares Enterprise's handover procedures today."
Chapter 1123
Chapter 1123
Angeline's glazed black eyes revealed a sneer. "Who told you that Grand Asia Ares Enterprise is going to stand alone? I will never make such a foolish decision. Get lost."
Instead of getting angry, Sera laughed. "Can't you see what sort of documents I have here, Ms. Severe?"
Angeline drew out a document from Sera's arms and flipped through it casually. When she saw her personal stamp on the contract, her pupils contracted.
"Who stamped this?" Angeline roared furiously.
Sera smirked maliciously. "I guess you're still unaware, eh, Ms. Severe? Jaybie gave me your stamps."
Angeline cast her mind back to the scene when Jay came home last night and the stern look on his face when he pressured her to hand over Ares Enterprise... All of a sudden, she felt a chill racing down her spine.
When Sera saw how devastated Angeline looked, she smiled triumphantly. "Ms. Severe, a person's fate will change. You may have won a trump card at first, but your trump card is now invalid because Master Ares has lost his memory and is no longer interested in you."
Angeline tried her best to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, saying, "You're just the illegitimate daughter of Madam Ares and Steven, Sera. You have nothing to do with the Ares family at all. You have no right to meddle in the Ares family's business. Get lost."
Sera sneered softly, "Don't you feel sad and miserable because Jaybie colluded with me to overthrow you, M s. Severe?"
Fury vibrated through Angeline's entire being. She had to admit that she was crushed when she learned that Jay stole her personal stamps.
She was bitterly disappointed in him.
Sera laughed wildly when she saw how furious she looked. "Oh Angeline, even your beloved man isn't taking your side now. I'd like to see how you can keep being so arrogant." Having said that, Sera turned around and left.
Grayson watched with a solemn look on his face as Sera walked off. Feeling uneasy, he said, "Ms. Severe, Sera has a unique identity because she's the daughter of Madam Ares and Steven Bell. She has frequented both Ares and Bell families in the past few days. If she manages to persuade both Ares and Bell families to cooperate, then we will be at a great disadvantage."
Angeline pondered and said, "Old Master Jack is probably unaware of Madam Ares and Sera's collusion. Grayson, hire a paparazzi to wait outside of the Ares family. Take pictures of Madam Ares wherever she goes. Once Madam Ares and the Bell family's interaction is captured, I want you to send the evidence to Old Master Jack immediately."
Grayson was slightly startled. Ms. Severe was trying to sow dissension between Madam Ares and Old Master Jack. He was afraid that Master Ares would get angry when he learned about this.
Even so, he remained absolutely loyal to Ms. Severe." Okay."
Angelina looked at the pile of documents and pushed them all to the ground furiously before saying with exasperation, "Are you really going to take the enemy's side, Jaybie?"
Grayson consoled her. "Calm down, Ms. Severe. These documents are for Grand Asia Ares Enterprise only. We're lucky that Jean is in charge of the Ares family now. He's a reasonable and sensible man. If he can step forward and destroy these contracts, then Sera's schemes are bound to fail."
Angelina's expression was solemn. "I'm just worried my personal stamps have not only been used on Ares Enterprise but also Bell Enterprise, Titus Enterprise-"
Grayson blurted out, "If that's really the case, the companies that Grand Asia has finally acquired will face disintegration."
Angelina slumped into her chair.
At this moment, she could feel that her vision had
become blurry.
She blinked her eyes vigorously to gain a clear vision for a brief moment only to have it turn blurry again.
"Your eyes, Ms. Severe..." Grayson was seized with panic.
Grand Asia was already suffering from internal and external threats. If something happened to Ms. Severe at this moment, it would only make matters much worse than it already was. "It's okay," Angeline said.
Grayson was still worried. If Ms. Severe's eyes were really okay, she would be eager to switch on the computer right now to repair Grand Asia's data that the hackers had tampered with instead of sitting around like that waiting for her doom.
"Sigh." Grayson sighed weakly and left.
Angeline forced herself to relax, but the moment she recalled Jay's sham gestures of politeness last night, she felt immensely heartbroken.
The more anxious and upset she was, the weaker and more light-headed she felt.
Chapter 1124
Chapter 1124
"What should I do?" Angeline sighed dejectedly.
"I never would've thought that you would be the one to defeat me one day."
Her body began to tremble. She could feel her strength seeping out of her body.
Realizing that something was amiss, Angeline quickly summoned Zayne over. "Take me to the hospital, Zayne."
Zayne carried Angeline on his back and rushed her to Grand Asia's medical department that was across the building.
The medical department needed Angeline to remain in the hospital for observation. Given the many incidents happening in Grand Asia right now, Angeline wanted the hospital to keep her condition a secret. Zayne asked Angeline, "Should we inform Master Ares?"
Angeline shook her head. "No. He's not on my side now. If he knows that I'm ill, he might disclose it to Madam Ares. If that happens, Bell Enterprise will take the opportunity to attack and put Grand Asia in jeopardy."
Hence, Zayne let out a gloomy sigh.
After attending the parent-teacher conference at school, Jay took Baby Zetty back to Garden Of A Diary.
However, upon returning to Garden Of A Diary, both father and daughter looked a little disappointed because they did not see Angeline.
Jay dialed Angelina's number, but the intercept message kept telling him that her line was busy.
Jay tossed his phone on the couch in frustration.
At the sight of the darkening sky outside the window, Jay's face darkened as well.
"Does your mommy often come home late, Baby Zetty?"
Baby Zetty thought for a while and said, "Mommy will either come home on time or not return at all. If she doesn't come home, then she's probably with Aunt Josephine. They're really close that they can share a bed and whisper endless secrets to each other."
The look on Jay's dashing face looked more and more awkward.
Share a bed and whisper endless secrets to each other?
Angeline did not talk to him at all when they slept together.
This made him gloomy for some reason.
"Give Mommy a call, Baby Zetty." In an attempt to test
Angeline, Jay asked Baby Zetty to make the call.
Baby Zetty raised her wrist and punched the numbers on her smartwatch. Then, the bright tone of Angeline's voice fell into their ears. "Yes, Baby Zetty?"
Jay's eagle eyes darkened slightly. None of the calls he made could get through to her, yet Baby Zetty did it with just one call!
Baby Zetty asked timidly, "Mommy, aren't you coming home tonight?"
"Oh, Mommy won't be back today. Go to bed early, okay? Goodbye." Angeline hung up the phone hastily.
Baby Zetty looked at Daddy. "Mommy said she's not coming home tonight."
Jay picked up his phone from the couch and called Angeline again.
However, it was still the same intercept message-" The number you dialed is currently busy..."
Jay was certain that Angeline had blocked his calls. He was so furious that he smashed the phone to the ground. "How dare you block my calls, Angeline Severe? What is the meaning of this?" Baby Zetty walked over and hugged Jay's head, offering words of comfort. "Don't be angry with Mommy, Daddy."
Jay was seething with anger. "Your mommy is a liar. All she ever does is live in lies her whole life. What exactly does she want?"
Chapter 1125
Chapter 1125
Baby Zetty said with tears in her eyes, "Mommy isn't a liar. She must have her reasons."
Jay looked at Baby Zetty, his heart melting at the sight of her tender and adorable expression. He realized that he was not supposed to lose his temper in front of the child.
Jay got up from the couch after a moment of silence and said, "Let's go and get Mommy back, Baby Zetty. Why don't you give Mommy a call right now and find out where she is?"
Baby Zetty followed Jay's instructions and dialed Angeline's number. This time, however, Angeline's phone was no longer reachable.
One could only imagine just how sullen Jay looked.
Grand Asia Hospital.
Angeline was currently lying on the monitoring bed undergoing a full-body examination. The result was the same every time-"We didn't find any organic damage. It's just how your body responds to emergencies when you're anxious and panicking.
Take a few days' rests and perhaps that might relieve your symptoms."
The doctor knew just how much Angeline disliked
taking medications, so he did not recommend her any at all. Angeline, however, caught him by surprise when she took the initiative this time to say," Prescribe me some medicine. Give me a higher dose because I need to recover as soon as possible."
The doctor was slightly startled. "Aren't you concerned about drug dependence and its side effects?"
Angeline replied resolutely, "Grand Asia is at risk. Nothing is more important than to defend it."
Therefore, the doctor prescribed Angeline with some anti-anxiety drugs.
Angeline took the medicine and returned to Garden Of A Diary with Zayne by her side.
It was already one o'clock in the morning.
When Zayne opened the door of the villa, she could see a faint glow in between her blurry vision. Her intuition told her that the light in the living room was switched on and there was someone in there. "Baby Zetty!" As she could not see, she could only call out with uncertainty.
Jay sat on the couch with his legs crossed. His well-tailored white blouse, black suit trousers, and his cold and dark expression made him look like a proud and noble emperor.
Zayne tugged at Angelina's hand gently. "It's Master Ares, Angeline."
Angeline straightened her back immediately, her pupils turning bright and sharp. She then let go of Zayne's hand and strode forward with her head held high.
She was very familiar with the furnishings at home, and after taking the medicine, her vision was not completely pitch-black. Hence, she could scarcely make out the outlines up close. Coupled with her strong aura, it was almost impossible to notice that she was now partially blind.
"Where did you go?" Jay asked in a sullen voice.
For fear that she would give herself away, Angeline walked to the couch area and quickly sat down on the couch nearest to her. She was sitting very far away from Jay, and that made Jay frown with displeasure.
Zayne sauntered over slowly, the fists hiding in his sleeves were tightly clenched. He was dying to beat Jay up, but after seeing how Angeline was being extra careful around Jay, he knew that he could not expose Angelina's anomaly to Jay.
Knowing that he would spoil Angeline's plan if he acted rashly, Zayne suppressed his rage forcefully.
"You should go home, Zayne. Come and pick me up early tomorrow." Angeline deliberately stressed the word 'early'. Getting the hint, Zayne nodded and left.
"Okay."
After Zayne left, Jay looked closely at Angeline with a frosty face. "I don't like my wife coming home so late at night, nor do I like it when my wife blocks my calls."
Jay clenched his teeth so hard that a muffled sound was heard.
Angeline sighed imperceptibly. She did a full-body examination in the hospital today and was at a spot where there was no signal most of the time. It was purely coincidental that she managed to pick up Baby Zetty's call. This guy had to be overthinking again.
Angeline did not want him to know about her illness because if he had stolen her personal stamps, then that would mean that he was on Ares and Bell Enterprises' side.
However, Angeline's silence only deepened the misunderstanding. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Angelina's eyes were filled with tears.
"I don't know what to say."
Jay was irritated. "I just want to know the truth. You're my wife. Aren't you going to tell me where you went after coming home this late at night?"
Angeline thought for a moment and said, "Before I answer your question, Jaybie, can you first answer my question honestly?"
"Go ahead." Jay was in an irritable mood.
"Sera came to me with Ares Enterprise's documents today and they were all stamped with my stamps. I'd like to know if you're the one who gave Sera my stamps? And was the stamps the reason why you came home last night?"
"Yes," Jay answered honestly.
Chapter 1126
Chapter 1126
Angeline felt a sharp pang in her heart as she forced a laugh. "Why?"
Jay was indignant.
Why should a seven-foot-tall man like him submit to his wife when he was the one questioning her for returning home late?
"Answer my question first. Why did you come home so late?"
Angeline replied, "I was working overtime."
Jay sneered. The excuse that this woman gave was simply too flimsy. "Why didn't you pick up my calls then?"
Angeline answered, "I didn't hear my phone ringing."
Jay sprung up from the couch and roared furiously. " Can you be honest with me, Angeline?"
Angeline asked weakly, "Do you trust me 100 percent then?"
Jay turned and left abruptly in anger. When he walked past her, he spoke between gritted teeth, "The stamps I gave Sera were fakes."
He then strode outside.
Dumbfounded, Angeline reached out suddenly and grabbed his hand shamelessly.
"Let go of me," Jay commanded in an angry tone.
Angeline was frightened by his aura and let go of her hand timidly.
"I can explain, Jaybie," Angeline said.
Jay gritted his teeth and snarled. "I'd be a fool if I f* eking believe you one more time."
With that said, he stormed off.
Angeline stared at Jay's resolute back and sighed.
When would they ever resolve the trust issues between them?
Baby Zetty stood on the second floor watching Mommy and Daddy quarrel, a look of distress emerging on her tiny face.
It was not easy for Mommy and Daddy to finally get back together. She could not let Mommy and Daddy separate again because of a misunderstanding!
Although Imperial Capital looked prosperous at night, it was also cold and empty.
Jay wandered outside for a very long time, and perhaps it was the chill in his heart that made him feel as though he was in an ice house. He eventually entered a bar to seek warmth.
He was allergic to alcohol, so all he could do was sit in the bar. His dashing face was gloomy that even the boss was terrified to approach him.
Suddenly, his phone started vibrating.
Jay was slightly stunned. He fished out his phone and unlocked the screen.
Countless text messages filled the screen.
Baby Zetty [Where are you, Daddy?]
[Please don't be angry at Mommy.]
[Hurry up and come home, Daddy. I miss you so much.]
A touch of disappointment emerged from Jay's icy soul. Out of so many text messages, none of them were from Angeline. He had come out for so long, but that woman was not the least bit concerned about him.
Despite her shortcomings, Angeline had at least raised a considerate little ball of fur for him.
Jay: [Daddy won't be going home for the time being.]
After hitting send, he put his phone aside only to hear it beeping again.
He unlocked his phone absent-mindedly, and when he saw that it was a text message from Angeline, his pupils dilated abruptly.
Chapter 1127
Chapter 1127
Angeline: [I was wrong, Jaybie. Durian, keyboard, and abacus are all ready. I'll kneel on them and await your return.] The ice and frost in Jay's eyes melted.
"Oh, this girl."
He was clearly still angry, but his tone sounded pampering.
Jay returned to Garden Of A Diary at dawn the next day.
What he saw, however, was Baby Zetty eating breakfast alone in the dining room.
When Jay did not see Angeline after looking around, he asked in a very disappointed tone, "Where's Mommy?"
"Uncle sent her to work," Baby Zetty replied.
Jay frowned a little. She was so sincere when she apologized last night yet continued to go out at dawn and return at dusk with no intention to change this bad habit at all.
When Baby Zetty noticed the frosty expression on Daddy's face, she quickly took out a pack of medicine from the cabinet drawer and tossed it to Jay, saying,"
Daddy, something terrible must have happened in the company lately that it has triggered Mommy's anxiety again. Mommy has always relied on her own willpower to get through it in the past, but this time she actually asked the doctor to prescribe her medicine."
Jay read the drugs' description, and when he saw the side effects that came with the medicine, Jay's expression sank.
"Does Mommy have severe anxiety? Why did the doctor prescribe drugs with such strong side effects?"
Baby Zetty replied, "Ever since your accident three years ago, Mommy was diagnosed with somatization disorder. Back then, she would only have temporary vision loss, but now it seems like it has extended to her limbs. I saw Mommy's hands shaking last night."
Jay was slightly stunned....
A touch of guilt rose in his heart. It turned out that Angeline was ill last night. He should not have lost his temper at her.
Jay looked at Baby Zetty. "Do you know why Mommy i s diagnosed with anxiety, Baby Zetty?"
Baby Zetty's eyes were filled with tears. "It's because of you, Daddy. Do you know how sad Mommy was when you suddenly disappeared three years ago? She cried all day and night, nearly killing herself by biting on her own wrist. If Uncle Zayne hadn't tied her up, I would've become an orphan by now."
Jay was astounded!
Angelina must have loved him a lot to make the decision to die just so she could be with him.
Jay put the medicine in the drawer and took a few bites of the bread before saying to Baby Zetty, "Daddy is going to Grand Asia to see Mommy. Will you be okay alone?"
Like a spoiled child, Baby Zetty said, "Can you call Brother Finn to come over and keep me company?"
Jay said helplessly, "Alright then."
Jay drove to Grand Asia in haste.
Grand Asia's president's office.
As Angeline's vision had recovered slightly, she was now sitting in front of the computer repairing the data that the hackers had tampered with.
No matter how hard she tried this time, there seemed to be no way for her to crack the other party's code.
If even Angeline was incapable of dealing with that hacker, then no one in Grand Asia could.
Feeling tremendously dejected, Angeline sighed in the end. "Each age brings forth new geniuses indeed.
Looks like Grand Asia has met its match this time."
Grayson suggested, saying, "Why don't we let Master Ares try?"
Angeline replied, "His memory has yet to recover. I'm afraid his hacking skills aren't that refined yet. What's more, there's a ticking time bomb in his body, so why bother telling him and create all the unnecessary fuss?"
Angeline staggered when she got up from her seat and Zayne rushed forward to help her. "Don't worry, Angeline. There will always be a solution."
Angeline said dejectedly, "I've secured Grand Asia for Jaybie and finally waited until the day he returned. As soon as his memory recovers, I will return Grand Asia to him, so that way, I've at least lived up to his expectations. But right now it seems like God is about to dash my dream."
Zayne helped Angeline to the executive chair. Despair was written all over her beautiful face.
At this moment, Jay pushed the door in.
Chapter 1128
Chapter 1128
He strode over with a grim expression and said to Grayson and Zayne, "Get out, both of you."
Grayson dragged Zayne with him and rushed out of the office.
Jay looked down at Angeline from above and questioned her, "You went to the hospital last night?"
Now that she knew what it would cost her for lying to him, Angeline dared not lie to him this time and nodded. "Mm."
The air of hostility lingering in Jay's pupils diminished and was now replaced by concern.
"What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said that I'm okay and that I just need to take my medicine on time." Angeline tried her best to sound as calm as possible.
Jay ordered sternly, "Stop taking the medicine. You don't need medicine with such harmful side effects!"
Angelinas eyes turned moist. "But I'll lose my vision if I don't take my medicine. Grand Asia needs me right now..."
Jay roared angrily. "Grand Asia is nothing compared to your health."
Realizing that he might have scared her, he then softened his tone and continued, "As long as you're okay, Angeline, that's all that matters." Angeline nodded with a smile. "Mm."
Jay pulled her into his arms, his furious interrogation turning into a gentle whisper. "Why didn't you tell me the truth last night?"
Angeline stroked his chin and said, "It's crucial for Grand Asia to keep the executives' illnesses a secret. I thought you were Madam Ares' spy last night, and that made me afraid to tell you the truth." Jay frowned and said bitterly, "Is Grand Asia more important than me?"
"You're both equally important."
Angeline said, "I've never done anything for you, Jaybie. You were the one who entrusted Grand Asia to me. In my heart, Grand Asia is not a symbol of wealth but your glory. When I protect Grand Asia, I'm protecting your glorious achievements in hopes that you'll still be that glorious young man the day you return."
Jay was slightly startled. "Silly girl. Neither wealth nor glory can compare to you in my heart."
Tears filled Angeline's eyes.
Jay said, "From now on, I'll be your eyes."
Mm."
Jay cupped her face tenderly and planted a tender kiss.
Bell Enterprise's courtyard.
Sera was in good spirits when she reported the results to Steven.
"Good news, Dad. Mom has succeeded in killing two birds with one stone when she persuaded Jay to steal Angeline's stamps. Angeline took a huge hit that ended up triggering her old illnesses. Bell Enterprise has also signed the agreement to disintegrate from Grand Asia."
Steven was more and more pleased with his daughter now. "You did well, Sera."
A cold and poisonous gleam filled Sera's eyes. "In Angeline's opinion, Jay is off-limits to everyone. As long as we continue to sow dissension between them, Angeline will inevitably end up completely paralyzed-just like Old Master Severe."
Steven said with a complacent look on his face," Notify our hackers to transfer Grand Asia's funds to Bell Enterprise's account. Be as secretive as possible. With that, Grand Asia will just be an empty shell and this will be the end for Angeline."
His personal attendant responded, "Okay."
Steven started cackling triumphantly. "Haha, every dog has his day indeed. Bell Enterprise will eventually replace Grand Asia and become the most splendid
enterprise there is in all of Imperial Capital." "Congratulations, Dad."
"And to you. You will soon become the most powerful female president in Imperial Capital."
A hint of jubilation flashed across Sera's eyes.
Chapter 1129
Chapter 1129
When Jenson entered Grand Asia's intranet, he caught the abnormality at once. The network was paralyzed and the funds had been transferred out. Jenson's dashing and charming black eyes were instantly covered with frost.
"How dare you give my Mommy trouble?!
"You must have a death wish."
He was a gifted hacker, and coupled with the guidance of his genius daddy since childhood, Jenson demonstrated extraordinary talent and skills in hacking.
When he first arrived at Legendary Youth Academy, Jenson's hacking skills surpassed all teachers and students in the hacking class. In the past few years, he also delved deeper into researching and thus attained exemplary skills in hacking.
It only took a few minutes for Jenson to obtain the hacker's IP address. Seeing that the IP address pointed to Bell Enterprise, Jenson's good-looking face darkened.
"You have to pay a bloody price if you bully my mommy."
For the payback, Jenson emptied out all of Bell
Enterprise's funds and infected their website with a terrifying computer virus.
After taking revenge, he finally began repairing Grand Asia's network.
At the thought that there was probably no one in Grand Asia who was currently capable enough to take on the enemy's hacker, he figured that he might as well lock Grand Asia's intranet. After switching off the computer, Jenson tried to calm himself down but it was to no avail.
His keen sense told him that there was currently bloodshed going on in Imperial Capital's business circle. He needed to return to Mommy's side as soon as possible, it seemed.
With that, Jenson made his way to the martial arts group training room.
Although he hated fighting very much, winning the arena competition and defeating all his classmates and teacher was the only way for him to earn the right to leave.
At the sight of Jenson's sudden appearance, his classmates were so shocked that their jaws dropped." Hey, this is the first time this piece of junk is actually visiting the group training room. He used to always hide in the training room to train in secret."
"What are you doing here, Jenson?" a classmate asked curiously.
"To get beaten up, of course."
"Hahahaha!" Other students broke into a fit of laughter.
Jenson's handsome face looked sullen while his fists were clenched tightly. "That's right. I'm here to beat you up."
As soon as he said those words, the training ground that was filled with laughter moments ago was now enveloped in pin-drop silence.
"Did I hear him right? What did this kid just say?"
"He said he's here to beat us up?"
After using a really long time to process what Jenson had just said, the students were all infuriated by Jenson's provocation.
"This piece of junk wants to beat us up? We should probably teach him a lesson so he'll know better than to talk nonsense next time." "That's right. Beat him up."
The students surrounded Jenson at once. "Tell us, Jenson, how would you like to die?"
Jenson's handsome face revealed a contemptuous sneer. "I should be the one to ask you that question."
The students,
They were infuriated by Jenson once more.
"Since you're already here today, let's have a fair competition then. You can pick any of us to fight against you. If you lose, you'll get down on your knees and call us 'Big Brother'. How's that?" Jenson asked, "What if you lose then?"
"Hah, how could that be possible? There are so many of us. You might get lucky and win one or two of us, but you can't beat all of us."
"What if I win every one of you here?" Jenson spoke through gritted teeth.

"Then I'll f*cking call you 'Big Brother'." Dan Cullen, the most renowned student of all, vowed boldly. When other students saw how Dan had declared his position, they echoed one after another. "Me too."
Jenson said, "Okay!"
A sharp glimmer flashed in Dan's eyes. He pointed to the weakest male student in the class. "You, fight."
With a backflip, the boy leaped onto the high arena stage.
"Can you climb up, Jenson? Do you want me to carry you?" The boy teased.
The words sent other students into fits of laughter.
Jenson was clad in a white T-shirt and a pair of black sweatpants. His skin was fair, and his hair was flowing in the breeze. Like a cat, he wore an ever languid expression, looking just like a noble prince who had walked straight out of a comic book. He looked just like a prince who needed to be protected.
Now that this prince was asking for a fight, everything just seemed so contradictory and out of sorts, making the scene look particularly eye-catching.
At this moment, all eyes were on Jenson. Everyone
was interested to see how this graceful prince was going to make a fool of himself.
Jenson took a few steps forward and bounced in place, leaping onto the platform in a flash.
Clearly, he was equipped with extraordinary jumping ability as he did not even perform a takeoff run.
Even Dan was a little surprised. "Well well, he's something, isn't he?"
One moment he was in awe of Jenson's extraordinary jumping skills, the next moment he heard a bloodcurdling screech from the boy he had sent out to fight as he was flung out of the arena. He did not even see Jenson laying a finger on the boy.
"Why don't all of you come up and fight me?" Jenson stood on the high platform looking like a young emperor, so full of vigor, yet at the same time, carrying a sharp edge as he looked disdainfully at the whole world.
"Whoa, does this guy have any idea what he's talking about? He's asking all of us to go up there? Does he have a death wish?"
Dan said, "I want the three of you to go up and test him out."
The three classmates standing beside Dan hopped into the arena. The trio had been in Legendary Youth Academy for a long time and all attained excellent martial arts skills. Not only that, they were almost always training together and were particularly good at team coordination when they fought together.
They attacked Jenson separately at first but later realized just how fast Jenson was moving. Regardless of the ultimate moves they employed, they failed to touch even the hem of Jenson's shirt.
Finally, they worked as a team and encircled Jenson from three sides. However, Jenson was always able to find a gap and make his escape. What was even scarier was that Jenson's hands were placed behind his back gracefully the whole time with no intention to fight back. Using only a pair of legs to fight against the trio, he eventually made a clean sweep of them. They ended up forming a fire wheel as they were flung off stage.
"This is scary, Boss. Jenson is a demon. He's just too fast." The trio clambered to their feet wearing a horrified look on their faces.
Dan said, "Yes, I saw that. I don't know much about this kid's fighting skills, but his speed sure is daunting to look at."
Jenson beckoned to Dan. "Come up."
Dan took to the air and flew into the arena.
Parkour was Dan's specialty. People who were particularly good at parkour could move at lightning speed as well. When he stood in front of Jenson, Jenson dropped his hands because he knew that he could not outrun Dan.
"Go on, Jenson."
Jenson did not go easy on him either. He sprinted forward and started engaging him in close combat.
His punches were particularly vicious and carried a bloodthirsty and murderous aura when they landed on Dan's body. Dan tried to retreat and pull away by doing parkour, but Jenson moved equally fast and followed him like a shadow.
In the end, Dan had no choice but to fight him at a close range.
Dan's fighting skills were mediocre to start with, and under Jenson's punches, his face turned bruised and swollen in no time at all.
"Surrender," Jenson said.
"I won't," Dan said stubbornly.
"I want all of you to come up here," Dan ordered, and all 30 students in the class leaped into the arena.
Competitions in the martial arts class' training ground were usually conducted in pairs. Even so, they were loud enough to produce earth-shattering noises.
