Ch. 1251..1260
Chapter 1251
Both father and daughter lingered in the aisle beside Jay and started quarreling suddenly.
"I don't want candy." The little girl growled viciously a t her daddy.
She was not a three-year-old child, so why would she want candy?
If this guy wanted to pretend to be her daddy, should he not at least find out about her interests and hobbies first?
The 'man' showed great patience. He was probably the gentlest father in the world. "I'm glad you don't like candy. Candy is bad for you. Eating too many can give you tooth cavities and spoil your image. If you can't get married, then I would have to take care of you for a few more years." After saying those words, he even coughed several times to make himself seem old.
It was an exhausting journey, especially when there was no break in between the second transfer.
Angeline was feeling drowsy and closed her eyes, looking extremely worn out.
After Jay fastened her seat belt for her, she put her head on his shoulder and dozed off.
On the other side of the aisle, however, both father and
daughter suddenly raised their voices. The little girl said to her daddy in an exasperated tone, "No one asked you to take care of me. Why don't you take care of yourself first?"
"Are you listening to yourself? I'm your daddy. It is illegal if I don't take care of you. You cannot deprive me of the right to take care of you."
Angeline shuddered by the sudden rise in pitch, and the wife-spoiling demon Jay could no longer turn a blind eye to what was happening beside him.
He tilted his head slightly to the side and glared sharply at both father and daughter, growling in a low and cold voice. "If you want to quarrel, then get the f*ck out of my face and do it elsewhere." Although the man's deliberately suppressed hoarse voice was just a noise filled with a strong and powerful aura, its power to intimidate felt as if countless munitions were aimed at a single spot, firing non-stop. Both father and daughter were taken aback at the same time. What was wrong with this man? He had a pretty bad temper, eh?
The 'man' caught a glimpse of Jay's face with his alluring eyes and was startled by Jay's calm and indifferent temperament. As someone with keen senses, he immediately activated the secret agent system he carried with him.
The voice of the system analysis rang out in his ears.
Attention, an enemy object is detected within a meter from you."
The long pauses of both father and daughter made Jay frown.
The 'man' sensed his impatience and dragged the little girl to the back quickly.
Sitting in the back row, both 'father and daughter' switched on their phones and started chatting.
[The couple is suspicious.]
[Reason?] Although the little girl was young, she was so calm that it was impossible to detect any sense of immaturity in her at all.
[The alarm reminded me. They carry Doomsday objects with them.]
[I will find a chance to seize it so we can get in and out of the Doomsday Organization unimpeded.]
[Don't act rashly. That man is no easy opponent.] The 'man' narrowed his mesmerizing and alluring eyes.
The little girl was speechless.
No matter how implausible she thought his intuition was, the end result would almost always prove that his keen senses would leave others gasping in admiration.
[It's extremely dangerous for you to throw tantrums in front of them, you hear me? Stop giving Daddy trouble in front of other people next time.]
The little girl raised her eyelids and glared fiercely at the 'man'.
[Are you taking advantage of me again?]
[If you think that me being your daddy is inappropriate, then we can pretend to be a young couple. But are you willing to be hugged and kissed by me in public?]
The little girl glared at him. [Why must we hug and kiss if we pretend to be a young couple?]
At this time, Zayne and Josephine who were sitting in front of them started showing them in realtime what it meant to be a couple. They hugged each other and started french kissing. Anyone would gasp in amazement at the sight of their expressive and unrestrained behavior!
"You see that? That's what real couples do. The way their tongues fight can't fool anyone."

Chapter 1252
Chapter 1252
The little girl blushed in shame.
However, when she thought of her identity, she felt that she should be able to go through all of the hardships.
"I'll let you kiss my forehead and my cheek at most."
"Isn't that how a father and daughter show love to each other? This means that deep down, you still like being my daughter."
The little girl had nothing else to argue about, so she did not say anything. She merely turned around and ignored him.
The Man sighed.
He knew that bringing her out would not improve her mood at all.
After the plane took off, the passengers either dozed off or played with their phones. The entire cabin was silent.
After a four-hour flight, the plane reached its destination.
Jay carried his luggage on his back and held Angeline's hand with one of his while the other circled around her, pulling her into his arms. That
way, Angelina would feel safe under his guidance even though she was blind.
After the father and daughter got out of the car, the former's deep gaze fell upon Jay and Angeline. His beautiful eyes suddenly looked deep and silent.
The little girl pulled his hand. "What are you looking a t?"
"They look like..." Before he could finish, his voice turned a little hoarse.
In the end, he shook his head. That could not have been them.
His dad had died a tragic death, and that was a cold-hard fact.
His mom, on the other hand, was not blind.
He must be missing his daddy and mommy so much that he was hallucinating!
"Think of a way to steal their token from them," said the 'man' to the little girl. "Alright."
When the little girl walked over, she could not do anything because Jay was always so alert about strangers. He always had Angeline in his arms and could defend both himself and her at the same time. The sharp gaze of the 'man' fell upon Angeline's sunglasses. The image of Jay taking good care of her floated across his mind, and his sharp sixth sense
allowed him to find the truth once more. "A blind person?"
The Man smiled wickedly and suddenly rushed forward.
"Daughter, I've found you at last." He hurried forward, sized up the correct angle, and rushed forward with the correct amount of force, breaking through Jay and Angeline.
Angeline fell to the ground.
The little girl quickly helped Angeline up and apologized profusely. "Aunty, I'm so sorry. My dad didn't mean it. Sorry, so sorry."
The man showed remorse on his face and quickly pinched the little girl's ear as he scolded her, "It's all your fault! I merely chided you but you ran away just like that. Do you want to cause more trouble?" The little girl sobbed. "Daddy, I was wrong."
Jay was furious, but Angeline was benevolent. After he helped her up, Angeline pulled at the hem of his shirt for fear that he would cause a commotion.
Jay also knew that tragedy might befall him if he caused trouble near an area controlled by Doomsday. Therefore, he suppressed his fury.
He could only glower at the little girl and her father before bringing Angeline away from there.
The Man watched his silhouette fade in the distance and extended his palm in glee. A platinum token was in his palm.
"So you're an admiral of Doomsday? We'll meet again soon." The deep gaze of The Man fell upon Jay as the look in his eyes sank. His voice became resentful.
"Let's go," said the little girl as she pulled him along, both of them disappearing amid the crowd
Chapter 1253
Chapter 1253
Jay embraced Angeline in his arms, and they soon arrived at the terminal.
Apart from private transport, going to Peach Blossom County would require them to take public transport at the terminal.
It was a six-hour journey from the terminal to Peach Blossom County. Furthermore, the way there was precarious and winding. The trembling and shaking made Josephine dizzy as she had never ridden public transport before.
"Hubby, I'm about to die. I feel so faint all of a sudden ..." Josephine cried out.
After that, she puked profusely. Zayne patted her back as he hollered, "Are you alright, darling? Don't scare me please."
Jay looked at them in disdain. "It's just motion sickness. She won't die from that. Stop overreacting."
Zayne was holding the trash bag that contained Josephine's puke with no idea how to dispose of it. Jay's face almost turned charcoal-black out of disgust. "Throw that away for God's sake. Are you going to save it for Christmas?"
Zayne quickly opened the window and threw the bag
into the cliff down below.
After an hour of the car trembling and shaking around, Angelina said, "Jay... Hubby, I think I'm feeling a little dizzy too."
Angelina was used to calling him Jaybie, so she still had not gotten used to calling him another name so suddenly.
The look on Jay's face became awful. His voice sounded anxious as he said, "Darling Angel, lay down on my lap. You'll feel better."
Angelina puked the very moment she lay on his lap.
Jay was not fast enough to open a plastic bag for her, so he held her vomit in his hand instead.
Zayne turned around and saw Jay holding stinky vomit in his hand, but that handsome face of his did not contort one bit. Instead, he was anxiously looking over at Angelina.
Zayne's expression simply could not be described with words. He teased Jay and said, "Damn, now this is what I call double standards. You were so disgusted with our vomit to the point that you were doubting your very existence. My sister's vomit, on the other hand, smells good to you, eh?"
Jay steadily cleaned up the place and wiped his hands with a sanitizing tissue.
He then slowly retorted, "Husband and wife are one and the same. Why the need to be that calculative?"
Zayne was astonished and gave him a thumbs-up. "You're not just a wife-pampering freak. You're a wifepampering freak without morals."
Shirley leaned her head on the window, suddenly feeling dizzy. However, she did not want to mention it for fear of giving other people trouble.
Grayson was also a knucklehead. He would not ask if she felt okay just because she had not puked yet.
Therefore, Shirley suppressed that strong nauseating feeling and kept herself from puking until they got out of the car.
It was already evening when the car reached Peach Blossom County.
Everyone was exhausted, and after Zayne got off, he sat on the snow-covered floor while complaining. "I'm hungry and tired."
Jay looked at Angeline whose face was blanched all over. He felt bad for her and unleashed his fury onto Zayne. "I told all of you to rest before making the trip here, but you were afraid that you would not be in time to witness the snow here. Now that you've seen it, eat it then! What are you whining about?"
Zayne looked at the snowing sky and stuttered, "The snow is beautiful, but it's sorrowfully beautiful."
Jay picked on him again. "Sit here, then. I'll ask someone to bring you a violin and you can play' Winter Sonata' here. I can guarantee you that you
won't have to worry about going hungry anymore."
Zayne stood up and muttered, "Is there a beggar who looks as good as I do? One look and you can tell that I'm a nobleman."
Nobody paid any attention to him.
They had yet to find a hotel in Peach Blossom County.
Chapter 1254
Chapter 1254
Jay said to Zayne, "Go ask around and find out where Flower City Hotel is."
Zayne pointed at his nose and asked, "Why me?"
Jay replied, "Because you're the most useless person among all of us. You need that training." Zayne howled and walked toward the crowd.
Zayne finally understood something, which was arguing with Jay was just a waste of breath.
Zayne found three pretty ladies and asked them for directions, but he could not get anything out of them, so he had no choice but to come back in dismay.
He shrugged and waved his hand at Jay. "They could understand what I was saying, but I can't understand what the hell they were talking about."
Jay was annoyed. "Why didn't you learn a little of the northern dialect before we came here?"
Zayne widened his eyes in disbelief. "What logic is this? Don't tell me that I have to learn every single language in the world before going on a trip?"
Jay hinted at Grayson with his eyes, and Grayson went to ask someone for direction. He spoke in a fluent northern dialect and soon enough, he got the
answer he wanted.
Grayson doubled back and said, "Flower City Hotel is a t the foot of Bright Moon Mountain. It's just six miles from here. We can take a cab there." Zayne was at a loss for words.
Once again, he acknowledged himself as a slacker.
Zayne admired how Grayson was able to learn the northern dialect in just a few days. "Grayson, how did you do it? It's just two days and you're already able to master the northern dialect?" Grayson was slightly embarrassed because of Zayne's praise. "I don't know everything about the northern dialect, but I learned the phrases which are most used over here."
After Zayne knew the truth, he did not admire him that much anymore. "So the difference between the top student and the slackers is knowing how to fake i t."
Jay listened to the both of them before sinking into deep thought.
They took a cab, and it was already nine o'clock when they reached Flower City Hotel.
Grayson went to book their hotel rooms, and when he gave the receptionist their fake identity cards, the receptionist smiled while saying, "Sir, you don't need a n identity card when you come into Flower City Hotel."
Grayson was stunned.
"Sir, I suppose that you're not from around here, right? Every local in Peach Blossom County would avoid Flower City Hotel. Since all of you dare to stay in Flower City Hotel this late into the night, I suppose that you're either extraordinary people or a bunch of unwitting outsiders."
Grayson pressed further, saying, "Oh, truth be told, we're three couples who came to North Capital to see the snow around here. We just so happened to pass by Peach Blossom County. Other hotels are fully- booked, so we had no choice but to come here. Can you tell me if something scary has happened in Flower City Hotel?"
The receptionist looked at them with pity in her eyes. It might be due to the hotel not having guests for a long time and it was not easy to get a bunch of guests to come by, so she said, "Although Flower City Hotel is the famous 100-year-old hotel of Peach Blossom County, it has a sinister backstory to it. There would be deaths happening all of a sudden every now and then. Therefore, Flower City Hotel has the title of being the 'hotel of death'."
The receptionist then looked at Grayson with narrowed eyes. "Sir, are you all going to stay?"
Zayne and Josephine hugged each other in shock.
"Ah, ghosts. There are surely a lot of vengeful spirits in here."
"Big Brother, let's go somewhere else." Zayne was scared sh*tless.
Jay chided him, "Be a man. My darling Angel's not even scared even though she's a woman, so what are you being so afraid for?"
Zayne looked at Angeline who was unusually silent and said, "Eh, I think your darling Angel must have been shocked so much that she can't even speak now."
Chapter 1255
Chapter 1255
Jay's face blanched when he heard those words.
Angeline could not afford to worry too much, lest her condition would worsen.
Jay said nervously, "Darling Angel, if you're afraid, we can switch to another place?"
Angeline smiled and shook her head. "As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid."
Jay felt a weight lifting off his shoulders. He viciously glowered back at Zayne who gave him a shock.
Zayne sobbed and said, "Big Brother... I'm scared.
Please consider my feelings. I'm just a weak man. I can't fight for the life of me. More importantly, I've just married such a beautiful wife. Won't it be too tragic if I die before I can enjoy my life?" Jay ignored him and said to the receptionist, "Give me three rooms."
The receptionist was overcome by their courage, so she froze for a moment before handing out three access cards.
Jay glanced over at Zayne who was shaking in fear and said to the receptionist, "Give him a few bottles of good booze."
He then went upstairs with the access cards in hand.
The rooms were at the end of the hallway on the second floor. The lights were dim there. Besides, there were not many people in the hotel, so when they walked along the hallway, their shadows were contorted by the lights. The atmosphere suddenly became eerie.
Zayne hung onto Josephine for dear life while Josephine looked at him speechlessly. "Hubby, can you be a man?"
Zayne let go of her and tried to defend his ego. "Who... Who are you talking about? I was just trying to protect you, so I hung on to you..."
Jay opened the room door as fluorescent lights illuminated the entire room. Zayne pulled Josephine along as he rushed inside. He then sat on the sofa with fear in his heart as he looked at Jay. "Big Brother, we'll be sleeping with you tonight."
Jay's cold expression looked like he had just eaten a pile of sh*t.
"Get out." He roared sternly.
With these two people in here, how could he get intimate with Angeline?
Zayne quickly begged for Angeline's help. "Little Sister, I'm your big brother too-"
"And I'm her brother too," Jay retorted.
Zayne said, "I'm her biological brother."
Jay was speechless. He then muttered to himself, "A biological brother is nothing like a lover brother."
Zayne continued his act. "I've been nice to you since you were little, and when I hit you, I was so scared that I would ruin your pretty little face, but when you hit me, you always want to send me back to my maker. I've never held a grudge before. Even when I scold you, I would feel like scolding myself whenever I see you hurt. If I'm gone from this world, who else will be nice to you and pamper you?"
"I will," said Jay casually.
Zayne,"..."
That guy really was the king of pulling the rug from under his feet.
"Big Brother." Josephine began to assist Zayne.
"I'm your sister. You know that I don't know any martial arts. If a thief suddenly comes in at night, Zayne won't be able to protect me for sure. So just let us stay here, please?" Zayne widened his eyes.
Josephine's words had hurt his ego.
"I can protect you!" Zayne uttered those words, but his tone was not convincing.
Jay frowned. Josephine's words made him feel somewhat guilty. She was injured the last time because he could not protect her well.
Jay finally compromised, but his tongue was still venomous and unforgiving. "There's just no cure for a pair of despicable people."
After successfully handling Jay, Josephine gave Zayne a high-five.
Soon after, the hotel staff brought in three bottles of peach blossom booze. "These are the booze that you asked for."
Chapter 1256
Chapter 1256
North Capital was very cold, so when Zayne wanted Angeline to drink with him, Jay did not stop them. He simply reminded Angeline, saying, "Don't drink too much or you'll get drunk." "Mm." Angeline nodded.
"Aren't you drinking?" Angeline asked Jay curiously.
Jay wanted to, but he was allergic to alcohol.
Besides, this was Doomsday's turf. He had to keep his head clear at all times so that he could protect everyone here.
When Zayne and the others were drinking, Jay unpacked Angeline's luggage at the side. He even made Angeline some oats.
Josephine said coyly, "Big Brother, I want some too."
Jay shot back at her, "Let your man do it."
Zayne stood up and said, "I'll do it then."
When Zayne brought out a bowl of oats, Josephine looked at the large bowl while feeling dumbfounded.
"Do I look like a pig to you?"
Zayne complained, saying, "It became so watery when I added water, and when I added in more oats, it
became dry. I ended up with this."
Jay stared at the empty packet of oats. At that moment, the noblest of hearts in the whole of Imperial Capital hurt so much that he winced. "I only brought that much oats with me and you used it all up just like that?"
Zayne apologized like a kid. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Josephine could not bear to watch Zayne be punished, so she said, "I can finish this."
Jay walked away.
Zayne's emotions changed just as fast as turning a page in a book. Once Jay left them, he resumed his carefree attitude.
"Come, let's drink some more."
That peach blossom booze could not compare to the famous wines in Imperial Capital. Its alcohol content was high, so it had a reputation for knocking a person out with just one glass.
However, they did not know about its strength and simply chugged it.
Once they drank it, warmth came over them like a wave.
Jay sat on the bed while studying the box that his mother gave him.
That box was very mysterious. Each time he looked at it, he could find out something new from it. This time, he noticed that the frame of the lid was very thick. Out of curiosity, Jay filed off one of the sides and realized that there were nine thin layers of wood that made up the lid.
He dismantled each layer of wood, and every layer had a carving of a mysterious-looking map. When Jay put them all together, it was a place that Jay had never seen before.
Jay put the pieces together, memorized them, and put them back where they belonged. He then sealed the side back on.
At the same moment, he heard three playful, drunken voices coming from the other side.
"Both of you are my most beloved women. I'm telling you, I shall not allow anyone else to bully you-even if that person is the crown prince of Imperial Capital. I won't let him bully you..." Jay stared at Zayne with an ashen look on his face.
"What did you say?" He roared.
Zayne was frightened by that overwhelming aura around Jay. He quickly twisted his words and said," Big Brother... What I meant was, I promise to protect your two most beloved women to the death."
Josephine patted Zayne's face. "You're such a coward. I'm telling you, my brother might be fierce at times, but even he would never have the guts to growl at Sis Angeline. Even if he's ten times as gutsy, he would
just be a little puppy in front of Sis Angeline..."
Zayne cackled. "You're so right. He's a coward who's afraid of his wife. Coward!"
When Jay casually walked over, Zayne and Josephine leaned onto Angeline. "Sis Angeline, save us."
Angeline was already drunk. Her face was red and her thoughts were a mess.
Chapter 1257
Chapter 1257
When Angeline heard Zayne and Josephine's cries for help, she quickly stood up and roared with gusto." Don't be afraid, You have my support!"
Just when she said those words, Angeline felt her body float. Then, she was sitting on someone's lap. A pair of strong arms was circled around her in an embrace.
That familiar hug had to be Jaybie's.
Angeline buried her head in his arms.
Jay loved her and hated her at the same time.
"Who are you supporting?" He was clearly furious, but his tone sounded like all the sharpness and hostility had been filtered out. It produced an unconvincing, non-temperamental string of words.
"I'm supporting Zayne and Josie," said Angeline.
"Then who's going to support me?" asked Jay.
Angeline paused for a moment, her muddled consciousness still able to hold the line. "Whoever dares to provoke you, I'll beat them to a damned pulp."
"What if it's Zayne and Josephine?"
He clearly knew that Zayne and Josephine could not beat him no matter what, but what his competitive
spirit wanted to know was who was more important to Angeline.
Angeline did not hesitate. "Do Zayne and Josephine dare to bully you?"
"Hm, under usual circumstances, they won't. But if it were under special circumstances, then they might. For example, now that they've had some booze, they're teasing me already," Jay said with hurt in his voice.
Angeline suddenly became furious. "Who dares to bully my man? Jaybie, don't be afraid. I'll beat them up for you. I'll beat them to the point that even Josie can't recognize them."
Jay nodded in satisfaction. "Mm."
Jay's mood became so much better as if he had won this round.
Some people would sleep when they were drunk, but when the Severe siblings drank, their attitude was something to worry about.
Zayne would holler and sing every hit song on the radio.
Angeline, on the other hand, would start taking off her clothes...
Jay secured her arms behind her back and gently warned her. "Darling Angel, stop it. There are other people in the room." "I feel hot!" Angeline muttered.
Jay was not done with Angeline when Zayne suddenly hopped up from his seat and started singing, head hanging, and stomping the floor.
Jay felt a sense of hopelessness. Why did he decide to order booze in the first place?
However, his troubles did not end there.
Soon enough, the furious noises of people complaining from downstairs could be heard. "What the hell is all that screaming from up there? Can't you let us sleep?"
Jay held Angeline tightly, preventing her from stripping. She collapsed onto his face and bit his lip while she was at it.
Suddenly, Jay was turned on so much by her actions.
Just then, there was an earth-shattering noise coming from the door. Jay put Angeline on the bed, pulled the covers over her, and went to open the door.
There was a swole man standing outside the door with a huge beard. When he saw Jay, he said with an ashen expression on his face, "Our young master requests that all of you keep your voice down. Garnering too much attention in Flower City Hotel will get you killed."
Jay was suddenly interested in that good-hearted ' young master'. This young master had a slight twist in his words, so he had to know something about this place.
"May I know who is your young master?" "Our young master carries the surname of Yorks. As for other details, I can't say."
Jay narrowed his eyes. Since Peach Blossom County was Doomsday's turf and that young master had the surname Yorks, could it be that he was someone from Doomsday?
Chapter 1258
Chapter 1258
Jay thought for a while and said, "I don't mean anything else. It's just that I feel guilty for offending your young master, so I was thinking of apologizing to him personally tomorrow. So for now, I'd like to ask your young master to excuse us for our behavior."
The man replied politely, "There's no need for that. My young master does not wish to see anybody."
After that, he turned around and walked away.
Jay softly closed the door, but when he turned around, all he saw was Zayne taking off his shoe and using it as a mic. He was hollering, screaming, and wailing into it.
Jay's mouth twitched intensely as he thought about the warning from the young master below. 'Garnering too much attention will get them killed.'
He snatched Zayne's shoe over, stuffed it in Zayne's mouth, and tied his hands and feet behind his back with Josephine's silk scarf. At that moment, Zayne turned from a seven-foot-tall man to a roly-poly. After that, the world was finally at peace.
However, after Zayne was accounted for, Angeline got up from the bed.
She was used to sleeping naked, and with the added
effects of alcohol, she started to take her clothes off unconsciously.
Jay felt helpless about it. After all, he did not have the heart to be as violent toward her as he had treated Zayne.
In the end, he thought of a brilliant idea, which was to blindfold Zayne.
It was two in the morning when Jay got everything settled. He then hugged Angeline and slept for a while. However, when the first light of the day came shining through, an earth-shattering scream rang in the air. "Young Master!"
Jay was familiar with that voice. It was the large henchman from last night.
Jay sat up immediately. What came next was the sound of a man wailing and crying.
The look on his face became solemn. Did something happen to that man's young master?
Jay remembered that the young master was a Yorks and suddenly became anxious about it.
The rest of them woke up, probably due to the commotion down below.
Zayne opened his eyes, but all he could see was darkness. He cried out with a lethargic voice, "God damn it, who's crying in the middle of the night?"
However, all that came out of his mouth was a muffled
voice.
Meanwhile, Josephine was shocked out of her sleep.
When she saw Zayne on the sofa in that roly-poly state, she was dumbfounded for a moment. After a long while, she came to her senses and removed the shoe from Zayne's mouth.
Zayne's wailing rang in the air next. "Why can't I see? What's wrong with my eyes? Oh no, what happened to my hands and my feet? Which b*stard kidnapped me?"
When Josephine heard the word 'kidnapped', she looked around her in full alert. After that, she saw Jay and Angeline being all lovey-dovey.
"Hubby, what's going on down there? Why is it so noisy?" Angeline was still cuddling in Jay's arms when she asked lethargically.
Jay gently tidied her hair and replied softly, "There's another young master down below with a surname of Yorks. I'm guessing that something bad has happened to him. His bodyguard is crying so hard right now."
Josephine took some time to digest what was going on around her, then she could not help but face the cold hard truth. "Big Brother, you were the one who tied Zayne up, right?"
Jay replied with no remorse whatsoever, "He acts up too much when he's drunk. He was singing and dancing, so the people from downstairs came and complained. I had no choice but to tie him up." Josephine quickly freed Zayne from his bonds. Zayne felt that his limbs were numb and stiff, so he chided Jay, "Then why the hell did you cover my eyes for? Don't tell me that you fancy that kind of stuff? What did you do to me last night?"
Jay lightly glanced over at him and retorted, "I have n o interest in you whatsoever. I was only afraid that my darling Angel would expose herself in front of you."
Chapter 1259
Chapter 1259
Zayne widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Are you serious? She's my little sister, for God's sake. I've seen her wear tank tops and panties when she was a kid. How could I have those wicked thoughts toward my sister?"
Zayne felt pain all over his limbs as his face contorted like a bitter gourd. He scolded, "You're just plain wicked."
Jay's patience toward Zayne had reached its limit. His handsome face had a cold look on it while his voice was deep and authoritative.
"If I continued to let you run rampant last night, then we would've been the ones to end up dead, not the young master downstairs."
Zayne's face became ashen when he heard that someone else had died.
Jay roared at him. "Remember this. If you garner too much attention here, you'll die. So you're not allowed to drink anymore. All of you act up so badly."
When Jay mentioned him acting up, he was not pleased about it and said, "Since when did I act up?"
Jay glared at Zayne. "You treated the hotel like a goddamned karaoke, you used your filthy shoe as a
microphone, and you were squealing and wailing into it like a witch summoning a demon. You dare say that you didn't act up?"
Zayne,
His voice was clearly beautiful and could charm entire groups of ladies. How did Jay manage to describe his unbridled personality that badly?
"How was I acting up then?" Josephine asked in dissatisfaction.
Jay replied, "Your snoring can be likened to that of a pig."
"What about me?" Angeline asked curiously.
Jay looked at Angeline and his eyes suddenly had a helpless, pampering look in them. "You're... You're alright."
He had to pamper her no matter what.
However, he would regret that very soon.
After Angeline felt that weight lifting off her chest, she then said, "I'll think I'll find someone else to drink with." "You can't do that." Jay strongly protested.
Once he thought about how she would go wild after getting drunk, the back of his head twitched intensely.
"If you're going to drink, you can only drink when I'm around!"
Angeline responded obediently, "Okay." She had no clue as to why he was overreacting.
Jay stood up and told Zayne and Josephine, "Take care of Angeline. I'm going to have a look downstairs."
Both of them replied, "Go then."
Jay kissed Angeline's forehead and said goodbye. "I'll be right back."
"Mm."
After he kissed Angeline goodbye, Jay walked out the door.
In the room downstairs, there was already a huge crowd standing by the door. Besides the police and forensic doctors, the rest of the crowd were just guests of the hotel.
There were too many people at the narrow door and Jay had claustrophobia, so he simply stood at a distance and watched the commotion.
At that moment, the hotel attendants walked toward him and whispered, "It's a shame. He was such an excellent man, but he has a terminal disease and died just like that. The forensic doctors said that he died because of the disease, but his bodyguard said that his young master was murdered."
Jay frowned. Disease and murder?
If someone wanted to kill a person with a disease, surely they did it not because they wanted the person
dead.
As Jay thought of something, his expression became somber.
At that moment, he did not care about his claustrophobia and strode toward the room.

As he got closer to the door, he heard the bodyguard losing control of his emotions as he shrieked. "I'm telling you that my young master was murdered! Why don't you believe me?"
"Because there's no other evidence of your room being broken into. There are no other marks or evidence on your young master's body either. So your accusations are not based on anything at all. How are we supposed to believe you?"
"I saw it myself. I even fought him for a while," the bodyguard explained, "He's a thief, and he stole something precious from my young master."
"What precious thing did he steal?"
A glimmer of light flashed across the bodyguard's eyes as if he realized that he had said something he should not have. He lowered his head and remained silent.
Jay knew it. That thief did not come to take that young master's life. He came here for a treasure.
He instinctively put his hand on the left side of his chest. The token that his mother gave him should be in the inner pocket of his shirt.
As Jay felt around, color slowly drained from his face.
That token was gone.
A wave rolled inside Jay's heart. He slowly pieced everything together. When was the token stolen? Who stole it?
After that, his mind locked in on the moment when they got off the plane. That mysterious 'man' had bumped into him.
Ice froze under Jay's eyes as he clenched his fists tightly. He said to himself, "You'd better wish that you won't run into me the next time."
Inside the room, the bodyguard suddenly went crazy the moment the doctors were about to carry the corpse out of the room. The bodyguard stopped them and said, "Where are you bringing him to? He can't go anywhere else. I have to bring him home to where he belongs. My young master's father is still waiting for him at home."
"But he's infected with a highly contagious disease. We have to get him away so that we can carry out the autopsy. We must also sanitize the body."
The bodyguard was so furious that the veins on his forehead surfaced. "No. I won't let you take him away."
Everyone else scattered like a flock of startled birds when they heard about the contagious disease.
Jay's tall figure stood at the door alone. When he saw the bodyguard stopping those people from bringing his young master's body away, pity flashed across his eyes.
This man was loyal to the bone.
The bodyguard saw that his threats had little effect on them, so he did something drastic. He knocked the doctors to the ground like a maniac and carried his young master's corpse on his back. When he was about to rush out of the room, he was suppressed by muscular and burly men.
The bodyguard fell onto the floor and thumped his fists on the floor in agony as he cried his heart out.
"Young Master, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'm so useless!"
Jay unconsciously walked forward, and the bodyguard raised his head. He saw Jay and they locked eyes. All of a sudden, he felt an immense sense of trust toward Jay.
The bodyguard grabbed Jay by the hem of his pants and said to him, "Sir, we met before last night. It was fate that made us cross paths. Can you make a trip to the Yorks' stronghold? Tell Old Master Yorks everything that you know. I'm sure that he will reward you greatly."
Jay expressionlessly looked at the corpse that lay at his feet. It did not look too terrifying, probably because the man had just died. In contrast, his immaculate features and his fair, supple skin suddenly looked so... amiable.
"What is your young master's name?" Jay asked.
The bodyguard paused and wrote the name on the floor with his finger. [Ron.]
Only Jay could see what he was writing from that angle.
That young master was called Ron Yorks?
Jay nodded and said, "Alright. I shall go there on your behalf."
He was not one to be nosey about other people's matters, but he came to Peach Blossom County to find Doomsday and Baby Robbie.
That young master's surname was Yorks, which was the same as one of the officers in Doomsday. Jay was considering the possibility that Young Master Ron Yorks could have something to do with Doomsday. Jay hurried back to the room with a solemn expression on his face.
"Darling Angel, I have a task on me, so I have to pay a visit to the Yorks' stronghold.
