Ch. 1451..1460

Chapter 1451

In the evening, Zayne, Josephine, Shirley, and Baby Zetty arrived at Green Plum Town together. They got Angeline and Jay to go along with them to the banquet in the Yorks' stronghold.

Angeline did not see Jenson and Baby Robbie. Only then did she remember that she had not seen these two for the entire day. She became a little worried.

"Where are Jens and Baby Robbie?"

Jay looked at the foggy skyline, deep in thought.

When he heard Angeline's voice, he replied hastily," The two children must have gone to the craftsman to polish rough stones."

Angeline trusted him. Jay breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then, let's go." Angeline smiled.

Josephine ran to Angeline and held her arm affectionately, saying, "Sister-in-law, you look so beautiful today! You're so good with makeup."

Jay looked helplessly at Josephine who had forcibly squeezed between him and Angeline. He then stared at Zayne, looking a little depressed.

Zayne giggled and acted like Josephine. He held Jay's hand affectionately and said, "Big Brother-"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Jay threw him to the ground.

"Ouch." Zayne wailed. "Big Brother, why did you do that?"

Josephine and Angeline stared at Jay angrily. Jay initially thought to give Zayne a few kicks, but when he saw Angeline's condemning stare, he immediately calmed himself down. He said in an aggrieved tone," You know me. I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and don't like people other than you touching me."

Zayne got up a little embarrassedly and started complaining, "What a load of bullsh*t. It's clear that you're jealous of Josephine touching your wife. Master Ares, will you die if you don't hang out with your wife for a day?"

This was the first time Zayne was standing up to Jay.

Everyone thought that Jay would be furious, however, Jay only shamelessly replied, "Yes."

Zayne was triggered. "I've never seen a man as weak a s you."

Angeline got Josephine's hand off her and walked to Jay with a smile. Her slender fingers interlocked with his. Angeline then said, "Let's go." Jay's heart was filled with joy.

Zayne was stunned and said, "Sure enough, the world is yours if you have a thick face."

Then, he acted like Jay and whispered to Josephine,' Josie, let's hold hands."

Josie did not say no and walked side by side with him while she held his arm.

Shirley and Baby Zetty trembled with laughter.

Along the way, Zayne was avenging his *ss and took jabs at Jay.

"Angel is so beautiful today. This makeup looks very good on her. She looks younger and more beautiful than an 18-year-old girl."

Then, he continued teasing Jay by saying, "Big Brother, you're so many years older than Angel and your face makes you look older as well. You look like a pair of father and daughter walking side by side." Rage took over Jay's face at once.

"Shut up."

The angrier Jay got, the more proud Zayne was.

"Are you angry? Oh, I'm already being nice by saying that the two of you look like a pair of father and daughter. In fact, I think that people would believe me if I tell them you guys share a grandfather and granddaughter relationship," Zayne said.

Chapter 1452

Chapter 1452

He was getting fed up.

Jay paused to turn around...

Zayne thought that he was going to charge at him, so he quickly started retreating backward. However, he went too far and fell flat on his back instead.

Jay's thin lips curved up slightly. "That's karma."

At this moment in Blessing Square in front of Blessing Anchorhold, there was a long line of tables. The tables were all covered with a layer of red cloth, and from a distance, it looked like an enormous red dragon winding through the mountains.

The beautiful girls shuttled between the long tables with their pieces of jewelry jingling about, making crisp music.

When Jay and the others appeared in Blessing Square, a group of young, beautiful girls escorted the bashful Judy to run toward them.

"Brother Jay." Judy was pushed in front of Jay by the girls. She had a shy expression on her tender and beautiful face.

Her father had told her that the grand old master already agreed to her marriage with Jay and she would be his mistress sooner or later. Hence, Judy

was showing such a side to Jay.

Her waist-length black hair looked as beautiful as a waterfall. The hair from the two sides of her temples was woven into many braids that hung down her chest. The braids were adorned with red gems, which complemented her bright red dress. It brought out her beauty even more.

She was exquisite.

Judy's beauty was spotless. She was as beautiful as a snow fairy from an enchanted mountain.

Seeing Judy like this, Angeline's heart skipped a beat.

Only then did she know that her rival was this formidable.

"Wow, she's so gorgeous," Zayne exclaimed when he looked at the beautiful ladies, and his eyes ultimately fell on Judy. "I finally understand the meaning of other beauties being completely overshadowed. There's actually such an outstanding beauty in this world?"

Josephine pulled his ears and was seething. She said through her gritted teeth, "Who's an outstanding beauty? Hmm? Who are you complimenting?"

Zayne grimaced in pain. "Ahhhh, Josie, you should leave a trace of dignity for your husband in front of other beauties, okay?"

Josephine let go of his ear indignantly. Perhaps it was a woman's instinct, but Josephine could feel Judy

wanting to intimidate Angeline. Hence, she exclaimed out loud, "This lady from Yorks Stronghold is indeed beautiful, but she appears to be soulless. Unlike Sis Angelina, who's beautiful inside and out. She has so many talents and her beauty is one that emanates from her bones. This is what makes her unforgettable."

Then, Josephine leaned on Jay's shoulder while smiling bossily and domineeringly. "My brother only likes beauties like my sister-in-law, right, Big Brother?"

Jay's body had been quietly leaning closer toward Angeline when Judy approached him. His hand that was clasping onto Angelina's had gotten tighter as well.

Josephine's words made all the girls from Yorks Stronghold extremely upset.

Judy was akin to a goddess for the people in Yorks Stronghold. Her marriage to Jay Ares was something promised by the old patriarch. The way Josephine was openly criticizing their relationship naturally aroused public outrage.

The girls glared at Josephine with a gloating expression because they believed that Jay could never resist Judy's charms.

At this moment, the focal figure, Jay, was merely staring at Angeline's face. He was afraid that she would get emotional.

He only took a second to correct Josephine's little mistake. "You're wrong. I love Angeline, but it has nothing to do with her beauty."

Then, he held up Angeline's hand with a gentle expression.

Angeline proceeded to smile like a blooming flower.

His public announcement was suffocating everyone's hearts.

Chapter 1453

Chapter 1453

The girls from Yorks Stronghold turned their attention to Angeline.

They noticed that Angeline was wearing a beautifully tailored white dress. The neckline and cuffs were inlaid with beautiful and elegant fox fur. She had covered herself in a furry snow-colored hooded cloak, and the brim of her hat was also decorated with the same pelt. Angeline hid her small face under her hat, and it made her face appear more delicate and lovely.

The girls in Yorks Stronghold used to think that Judy was the most beautiful girl on Mount Pearl. Now that they had laid their eyes on Angeline, she appeared to be someone entirely otherworldly. With traces of mature vicissitudes and femininity, she exuded an ethereal aura.

Angeline looked at Judy and smiled. "Do you truly want to be my husband's mistress?"

Judy nodded quickly with her cheeks furiously blushing.

Angeline continued, "The customs in Imperial Capital are different from Yorks Stronghold's. A man from Imperial Capital is only allowed to have one wife, and marrying another is considered illegal. Many others will criticize him for it. How are you so willing to put

him in that position if you truly love him?"

Judy smiled charmingly. "The grand old master has said that you're small-minded and not as generous as women who come from Yorks Stronghold as we've learned to share our husbands. I didn't believe it at first, but it seems like it's the truth."

Judy then shifted her gaze toward Jay again, not noticing that her words had already faintly triggered Jay's anger.

Growing up, Judy was showered with compliments from the people of Yorks Stronghold. Moreover, she was utterly spoiled by her father, so her personality was rather straightforward and conceited. "Brother Jay, perhaps the reason you don't want to marry me is that there's a tigress in the family?"

As soon as Judy finished her sentence, Angeline squeezed onto Jay's hand tightly. Jay felt as if his joints were twisted.

Knowing that Angeline was enraged, Jay wanted to assist her in dampening Judy's acute spirit. He never would have thought that Angeline would speak for herself.

"If I'm not a tigress, how would I be able to stop the women of Imperial Capital from pouncing on my husband? Those women are much more difficult to deal with than a girl like you who's still wet behind the ears." Angelina's tone was full of arrogance.

The unspoken implication was that she could get rid of those women who were much more powerful and ferocious than Judy, so Judy should know when to retreat to avoid defeat.

However, Angeline had underestimated Judy's obsession with Jay. Judy showed her perseverance to reach her goal and said, "I'm not the same as those women from Imperial Capital. I have a high level of martial arts skills. No one can stop me from getting what I want."

Baby Zetty fought back, saying, "Since you're that powerful, why don't we take you back to Imperial Capital? It'll be nice to have a new watchdog for the Ares family's house. Why would we want to reject free service anyway?"

Judy's face flushed from humiliation. "Why, you little_99

Josephine quickly clapped her hands and cheered.

Jay looked at Baby Zetty's proud smiling face after her powerful retort and could not help but pat her on the head. He smiled. "Now, now, don't be so naughty."

Then, he said to Angeline, "Let's go in."

Angeline nodded in agreement.

Jay chose to ignore Judy completely.

Judy looked at Jay's tall and straight back, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

She would never give up on such a good man so easily.

There were various kinds of raw ingredients on the long table. When Angeline went to pick some up to grill in front of the charcoal fire, Jay took them from her and said thoughtfully, "Go sit and get some rest. I'l do it."

Angeline insisted on doing it herself, but Jay placed his mouth close to her ears and whispered, "If you don't want other women to think that they have an opportunity to exploit you, you should try to put on a queen-like temperament just for today."

Angeline showed a witty smile. "Then, I'll go and get some rest. Thanks for your hard work, my dear husband."

Jay pointed at his face. "You should at least hand over some payment."

Angeline gave Jay a kiss before walking away while blushing.

Chapter 1454

Chapter 1454

Then, Jay took the ingredients and walked over to the charcoal grill. He elegantly sat on the spare stool next to it and started focusing on grilling.

On the other side, Josephine was holding onto the barbecue materials and looked like a diligent wife. Then, she said to Zayne, "Zayne, you're weak right now, so go and get some rest. I'll call you over when it's ready."

Zayne hugged Josephine and kissed her on the forehead. "I truly am the luckiest guy for marrying you, Josie."

Josephine smiled more beautifully than a blooming flower.

Zayne swaggered to the side to rest. He did not forget to boast about his position in the family hierarchy to Angeline. "Look at your brother here, Angeline. There are certain skills in training your wife. Don't you think I'm amazing?"

Then, he glanced at Jay and proudly said, "Isn't Master Ares a prince who has the whole world in his palm? He still ended up having to serve the Severe family's littlest snotface."

Angeline glared at Zayne and inquired, "You're a big

boy now. Why are you sitting and resting at the side? Aren't you embarrassed to let Josie take care of your needs?"

Zayne looked at Angeline somewhat speechlessly. "I haven't even commented on anything about you, yet you've attacked me? The males work outside, and the females work inside. As Madam Ares, you're asking your man to handle such boring, uninteresting tasks? Look at all those young girls and look at the words written all over their faces."

Angeline looked at the colorfully dressed girls whose eyes were full of pity and sympathy. They were all looking at Jay.

"What's written on their faces?" Angeline asked indignantly.

"They're saying, 'Master Jay is such an excellent man. If you don't know how to appreciate him, then let us do it for you'."

Angeline proceeded to kick Zayne's buttocks. "You're asking for it."

After the violent outburst, she thought that his words somewhat made sense after carefully thinking it through.

Hence, she walked over to Jay with a gloomy face. Jay saw Angelina's sunken expression and his handsome face instantly darkened. He asked in anger, "Did Zayne bully you?"

Angeline sighed in frustration and took the halfcooked meat from Jay's hand. She snuggled next to Jay and said weakly, "Zayne said that I'm not feminine enough and I don't know how to appreciate you." Jay's eagle eyes glared at Zayne who was not far from them. Then, he switched back to a harmless smile when he looked at Angeline.

"Silly, I grew up with you. I've trained you the way I want you to be. Jaybie here likes you no matter what."

Angeline's heart felt warmer from these few words.

At this moment, Judy came over with a plate of pork burgers and said to Jay bashfully, "Brother Jay, I grilled these for you."

Jay glanced at the moist-looking and fragrant pork patties. He asked Angeline, "Do you want some?"

In her heart, Angeline indeed wanted some. However, she refused to give in to save her dignity.

Jay then outright refused her. "My dear Angeline isn't interested."

Judy was stunned as she muttered, "Well, she's not the one I'm giving it to."

"I don't eat such food, sorry," Jay said unceremoniously.

Judy stood there awkwardly, her face turning green and red alternatively.

Cole showed up out of nowhere, grabbed the barbecued food off Judy's plate, and gobbled on it.

Then, he commented in a gentlemanly manner, "Your grilled pork patties are delicious, Judy. It's his loss if he doesn't have a bite."

How dare he say it was Jaybie's loss?

Angeline glanced at Cole provocatively and walked toward the feast spread out on the table. She selected the most delicate cut of meat and coated it with light seasoning before returning to the charcoal grill. Then, she went into her serious mode.

Chapter 1455

Chapter 1455

Jay looked at Cole in scrutiny. Today, Doomsday and the military intelligence division were bound to have a n upcoming battle. The grand old master and the patriarch, Spencer, were nowhere to be seen. They must have gone off to deal with the sudden circumstances tonight.

However, this future heir to the stronghold was idly and busy shuttling himself among the beautiful ladies.

"You truly are a spoiled little heir, Cole Yorks," Jay said somewhat meaningfully.

Cole's eyes were filled with suspicions. Jay was usually quiet, and he would never call him a spoiled little heir without reason. Moreover, it was New Year's Eve. Every household was occupied with the festivity and was enjoying the delicious food. He was not the only one idling about.

Seeing Cole's dumbfounded look, Jay called attention to something. "Where's your little lackey, Carson?"

Cole scanned the crowd for a while and did not see Carson anywhere. He was puzzled. "That's odd. That guy would groom himself nicely every time it's New Year's Eve so that he could hook up with the ladies. Why is he nowhere to be seen today?"

He shot a glance at the mysteriously weird Jay and asked, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

Jay gesticulated at him to come closer, so Cole leaned forward.

Jay placed his head to the side and said, "What are you doing, trying to hook up with other women in front of Sis Shirley?"

Cole thought that he was about to say something more serious, but instead, he was being reprimanded by Jay without rhyme or reason. His handsome face was immediately distorted.

He retorted impolitely, "You went behind my back and instigated my dad to force me to marry Shirley. What are you trying to do?"

Once Cole was done talking, he straightened his body and stood opposite Jay.

Both of them stood tall and straight with their beautiful faces and glowing skin. However, Jay was still slightly taller than Cole. With Jay's cold expression and the surroundings that were covered with frost and snow, he looked like a king as he stared at Cole.

"I'm your cousin. Can't I be concerned about your future?" Jay seemed to be smiling, but he was filled with devilish charm.

Cole was immediately silent at his words. He glared at Jay gloomily, "I'll marry any Tom, Dick, or Harry, but

I'll never marry a woman from Imperial Capital.”

Jay nodded calmly. "You have guts. But I hope you know that what's said cannot be unsaid."

Afterward, he patted Cole on the shoulder. "Since you discriminate against Imperial Capital's women so badly, then don't expect to raise an Imperial Capital woman's child."

It was self-evident. Since Cole did not want to marry Shirley, he would never get the child in her belly.

Cole was slightly stunned.

He was determined to not marry Shirley Severe.

However, he could not be indifferent toward his child.

Angeline had cut the meat into small pieces and very quickly grilled up a full plate of barbecued meat.

She carried the food over to Jay and said, "Your favorite lamb, Jaybie."

Jay looked at the fragrant plate of food and immediately grabbed a piece, shoving it in his mouth.

The meat was still fresh and tender while the light seasoning was able to satisfy Jay's taste buds and protect his weak stomach.

"It's delicious," praised Jay.

Cole did not believe that a rich young lady like Angeline would be able to grill up delicious and tender lamb meat. After all, all those heiresses from Imperial Capital had probably never peeled potatoes in their lives. Furthermore, Jay was the crown prince of Imperial Capital, so how would she be able to satisfy his picky taste buds since she was not a top chef?

"Just keep fooling yourself." Cole grabbed a piece and gobbled it down.

After chewing a few times, the expression on his face grew more and more embarrassed.

Jay looked at him triumphantly. "Aren't you jealous that I was able to marry such a beautiful, intelligent, and capable wife like Angeline?"

Cole swallowed the barbecued meat and licked his lips. He was slightly bewildered. "I heard that you're always in your apron and by the stove all day, every day. Was it just for show? I'm guessing that Angeline is the one cooking this whole time?"

Jay's handsome face was filled with a blissful smile. He replied, "In the first half of our lives, it was Angeline. In the second half, it's me. That's why both our cooking skills are excellent."

Chapter 1456

Chapter 1456

Cole pursed his lips into a straight line... He was caught off guard and was indirectly hit by Jay's little boasting session.

He glanced at the smiling Jay, and Cole's murky state of mind made him feel eager to cause mischief. He wanted to freeze that love-filled heart of his.

"Who's doing the cooking once you marry Judy?" He mischievously wanted to destroy Jay and Angeline's perfect little love.

Jay said with much confidence, "Angeline is the only one for me. I won't let any other woman come into our lives and create trouble for Angeline. This is my promise to her."

Cole chuckled lightly. "You're a bit too confident with yourself. And you're underestimating the old man's devilish schemes."

Cole wittily winked at him and said cryptically, "Look at what happened to my mom and dad. You shouldn't be so blindly confident."

Jay remembered the scene of Spencer playing cards frivolously with his beauties. He sneered, "Are you comparing me to your father? We don't share the same types of hobbies." Cole replied, "My dad used to spoil my mother just like you. He even swore an oath that if he ever betrayed my mother, the gods could cut off his entire bloodline." Jay's expression froze.

Cole succeeded in watching the changes in Jay's frame of mind. He subsequently stopped his little prank.

"I hope you'll treat your Angeline the same as the first time you've ever laid your eyes on her."

Jay firmly said, "There's no need for your worries. I will."

Once Cole turned around and left, Jay's long and stalwart body trembled slightly.

Cole's warning made him feel uneasy.

If the grand old master continued insisting on having him marry Judy, he was afraid that he would not be able to dodge his clandestine conspiracies against him. It was now more urgent than ever for them to leave Mount Pearl.

However, Baby Robbie needed Doomsday to be his shield and protection.

Before the dispute between the military intelligence division and Doomsday was resolved, it would be utterly irresponsible of him to turn his back on Doomsday. Jay's gaze swept to Angeline who was on his side. He was hoping that his sickly Angeline would not be bothered by the disturbances going on in the outside world. The sky was getting dark, and the dome covered Mount Pearl.

The bonfire's flames were illuminating everyone's faces.

At this moment, some of the teenagers and ladies held hands. They began to sing and dance after filling up their tummies.

All the girls were pulling on Cole, and his womanizing ways reached their peak.

"Why don't you drink with me, Coley?"

"Okay, Coley will drink with you."

"When are you marrying me, Coley? I'm still waiting for you. If you don't, I'll soon turn into an unwed wrinkly old woman." "How about me?"

"I will... I will. I'll marry each one of you. Let's just pick a beautiful day and get married."

Angeline sat at the corner and was staring at Cole with flames in her eyes.

"Sis Shirley, tell me honestly. Did Cole bully you?"

It was no wonder that Angeline was so worried. Cole had been shuttling himself in between all kinds of beauties all night. It could be said that he treated everyone or everything equally favorably, but he barely cared about Sis Shirley.

Chapter 1457

Chapter 1457

Shirley smiled gently and calmly. "There's no foundation to our relationship, Angeline. Forcing him to marry me has made things very difficult for him. I don't want to overstep my boundaries and expect even

more."

Angeline knew very well that feelings could not be forced, so she sighed heavily.

The dancing circle's music had turned melodious, and the ladies and men who were dancing in a circle while holding hands were letting go of each other one after another. They started pairing up in twos while the single girls and boys walked outside of the circle.

Judy and her friends walked toward Jay and pulled him toward the center of the dance area. When the other ladies dispersed, only Jay and Judy were left in the middle.

The other couples were surrounding them as they sang and laughed. It was as if they were the main protagonists for today.

Angeline was on the sideline all alone, staring at her impeccable husband, Jay Ares, in the center of the dance circle.

"F*ck, what are they doing over there, Big Sis?"

Josephine exploded into foul language furiously.

Angeline's complexion was turning dark.

Jay was looking over at Angeline worriedly.

Although he disliked this situation very much, they were still mature adults, after all. There was a saying that went, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'. As such, he could not allow himself to be so willful and leave during the Yorks' important festivities.

At this moment, Cole walked toward Angeline and handed her his hand. "Since your husband is dancing with another woman, do you want to dance with me?" Angeline asked indignantly, "What kind of dance is this?"

Cole explained with a wicked smile, "It's a courtship dance. The girls can only invite the young men they fancy to dance with them. Then, they'll allow the men to wear the pouch they've embroidered and that would mean a successful courtship.'

Angeline said, "Feudalistic malpractice."

Cole replied, "Angeline, with Judy's intelligence and extraordinary agility, if she succeeds in placing a pouch on your Jaybie, he'll have to marry her. Otherwise, the people of Yorks Stronghold will not tolerate it.' Angeline said, "Jaybie will never accept her pouch."

Cole said, "That's not necessarily the case."

Angeline fixed her gaze on Jay. There were traces of grievances and anxiety in her eyes.

Jay felt distressed when he saw Angeline in such a manner.

Judy suddenly stretched out her beautiful hand and turned his gaze back to her. "Why are you so afraid of your wife, Brother Jay?"

A touch of disgust flashed through Jay's cold pupils. His handsome face dodged from her hand as he retorted in an icy tone, "I'm not afraid of her. I'm in love with her."

Judy chose to deceive herself and turned a blind eye toward Jay's aversion to her. She smiled. "I know you're a clean freak with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The Yorks have it too, so I won't mind." Jay retorted, "I mind." Then, he pushed her away and stood further away from her.

"Sorry, if you touch me, it'll make me feel sick and nauseous."

Judy was slightly stunned, and a frustrated expression flashed across her fawn-like pupils. However, she recovered with a smile soon after.

"I can cure you." She ran up to him abruptly and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him.

Jay's falcon-like pupils shrank as he instinctively leaned back to quickly move away just before her kiss landed on his lips.

Judy was on air and almost fell flat to the ground.

However, because of her solid foundation in martial arts, she had a steady balance. In a single rotation, she took out her pouch from her waist and placed it in Jay's windbreaker pocket. Instantly, everyone started cheering.

On the sideline, Cole looked at the pale-face Angeline and smiled. "I told you, no one will be able to refuse Judy's pouch. It's because Judy's martial arts is the strongest among the younger generation in Yorks Stronghold."

Angeline was immensely shocked as she did not expect that lass to be this good in martial arts. 1

Chapter 1458

Chapter 1458

Angeline rolled her eyes at Cole. "Since you admire her so much, why don't you marry her?"

Cole said, "I did pursue her a few years ago, but it was an unrequited love. She has high ambitions, so only a man like Jay would be able to conquer her."

Angeline had no interest in inquiring about Judy's affairs. At this moment, her eyes were focused on Jay. She wanted to know how he would handle the pouch that Judy gave him. A weirdly dressed older woman walked up to Jay with her crutches.

She held Judy with one hand and Jay with the other. Then, she smiled and said, "You two have a marriage predestined by fate. From now on, Judy will be your woman."

Only then did Jay know the meaning of the pouch. He looked at Angeline from a distance and saw her little face fill with a sense of loss. Her beautiful eyes had also turned red.

Jay placed his hand in his pocket and touched the pouch Judy gave him. He was filled with annoyance a t this moment. He was wholeheartedly trying to evade her kiss earlier and did not expect her to shove

an

even more disastrous pouch at him.

He looked at Angeline guiltily, and the moment he saw Angeline shedding tears because of him, her innocent yet aggrieved eyes twisted his heart into knots.

He remembered how Angeline had come back to life for him...

He remembered how Angeline was kind toward him, but he had nothing to repay her.

He could turn his back on anyone else in this lifetime, but not Angeline.

He abruptly held the pouch in his hand tightly...

Angeline was slightly startled. Only she could see how Jay's pupils had abnormally shrunk. She knew him better than anyone else. Jaybie had always been a calm person, but he was behaving so oddly at this moment... She was dreading to know the reason behind it.

She could not help worrying about him.

After some time, Jay removed his hand from the elderly lady's grasp while pretending to be puzzled." Granny, she and I didn't dance and neither did we kiss. How did she become my woman?"

The voices around them lowered.

The sorceress said, "Well, you took her pouch."

Jay frowned. "When did I take her pouch?"

Judy smiled like a blooming flower. "Brother Jay, I just put the pouch into your pocket."

Jay responded, "Oh, did you? Which pocket?"

Judy confidently flipped his pocket over, and the thing that came out was tangled skein.

"This was the pouch you were talking about?" Jay looked at Judy, full of ridicule.

Judy looked at Jay in disbelief. He ruined her pouch beyond recognition just so that he did not have to marry her.

"Brother Jay, you..."

Jay was rejecting Judy's proposal in public, and it was something that had never happened before during the courtship ceremony.

The girls in the past would give out pouches to the men who liked them, so the matching rate was 100 percent.

Jay had completely humiliated Judy, and she ran away crying while covering her face.

Jay walked over to Angeline while slightly shivering and hugged her tightly. "Sorry I made you worried."

Angeline could feel all of his weight placed on her body. She knew that he had exhausted his internal strength just now to destroy the pouch successfully. She hugged him back and said, "I'll take you home, Jaybie."

"Okay."

Chapter 1459

Chapter 1459

At the foot of Mount Pearl, the heroic girls were dressed in all-black attire with climbing tools tied around their waists. They were ready to go.

Daisy glanced at Sis Iris meaningfully, saying, "Our goals for climbing up the mountain this time around are first, to clear the obstructions and bring Lil Fox back to the military intelligence division. Second..." She paused, then said, "Ready to receive your order, Iris?"

Iris keenly replied, "Yes."

"The division is sending you to Yorks Stronghold on an undercover mission, Iris."

Iris was in a daze. "Me?"

Going undercover required courage and insight. One needed to be bold as well as sufficiently vigilant and shrewd. Among the sisters, Iris was the most innocent and transparent-making her the least suitable for such a job.

Therefore, all the sisters found the superior's orders odd.

Daisy had an obscure look in her eyes.

"We are to obey the orders of the military intelligence

division, so prepare to set off."

Very quickly, the 13 challengers dispersed akin to ghosts. They used their climbing tools to climb onto Mount Pearl at a breakneck pace.

When Iris reached halfway up the mountain, Daisy secretly appeared in front of her.

Iris happily chatted, "Sis Daisy, you're taking the same path as me?"

Daisy took off her face cloth and looked at Iris quietly.

The surroundings fell into death-like silence.

Only Daisy's scorching hot gaze was shooting right into Iris' pupils just like a sharp blade.

Iris was 15 years old this year, and she entered the military intelligence division at the age of eight.

Daisy still remembered when Iris first entered the military intelligence division. Monster once sighed meaningfully. "Eight years old, huh? I'm worried about her disloyalty."

It seemed that their foster father had never once truly trusted Iris.

"Iris, do you like Lil Fox?" Daisy's eyes abruptly turned cold.

Iris smiled and replied, "Of course. Don't you like Lil Fox, Sis Daisy?"

"So you didn't hesitate to violate the military intelligence division's rules for Lil Fox?"

Daisy's aggressiveness made Iris feel anxious and uneasy. At this moment, the little girl who was innocent and as transparent as plain boiled water finally realized the true reason why the military intelligence division was sending her to go undercover in Yorks Stronghold.

It turned out that the military intelligence division was abandoning her.

They wanted her to disappear forever in Yorks Stronghold.

Iris became vigilant. "I swear I've never done anything against the rules of our division."

She raised her hand, wanting to take an oath. However, Daisy thought that she was about to attack and immediately took the lead. She pulled out the dagger she was holding onto in advance and pierced it into Iris' chest.

Iris spurted out a mouthful of blood, and her horrified eyes were looking at Daisy in disbelief.

Daisy stepped forward and buried Iris' trembling face o n her shoulder in tears.

"I'm so sorry, Iris."

Iris weakly muttered, "Why did you do this to me?"

"Why were you so stupid? Why did you help Baby Robbie and Angeline?" Daisy bitterly blamed her back.

The despair, pain, and unwillingness in Iris' eyes instantly reverted into a smile. She pushed Daisy away and clutched her bleeding chest. Iris smiled softly. "My death will be for his sake? Then, it'll all be worth it."

Just then, a white ray broke through the sky like a blade and was charging toward Daisy.

Daisy looked at the young man who appeared so suddenly in dismay. He was wearing a beige windbreaker, a white scarf, and had a valiant, formidable-looking posture as he leaped down from the higher ground.

Lil Fox?

Daisy hurriedly placed her face mask on and turned around to flee into the night.

Jenson looked at Iris whose life was hanging by a thread. He slowly walked toward her and pulled off the mask on her face. Jenson was slightly startled when he saw that it was a pretty young girl. When Iris saw Jenson, she excitedly pulled his hand and tried to sit up. This sudden movement rocked her whole body, and a mouthful of dark purple blood came spurting out.

"Were you poisoned?" asked Jenson.

Iris probably knew that her time was coming to an end. Once she pulled Jenson in, she uttered her last few words with much difficulty, "Baby Robbie, be careful of our foster father." Ultimately, she took her final breath.

Jenson proceeded to carry Iris on his back. Although Iris was the military intelligence division's agent, since she knew of Baby Robbie's nickname, it showed how close their relationship was. Even when she was on her dying breath, her warning to Baby Robbie also revealed how much affection Iris had toward Baby Robbie.

Jenson could not abandon Iris because of that.

At the very least, he could not let such a kind and innocent girl's corpse be left behind in the wilderness. She would end up becoming food for wild animals.

Jenson walked a section of the mountain road with Iris on his back. Then, he met up with Carson who came to help him.

Jenson handed Iris' body to Carson and ordered," Carry her back to Green Plum Town. Tell my daddy to bury her."

Carson glanced at Iris on Jenson's back and muttered in dissatisfaction, "She's one of those foxes from the military intelligence division. Her death is not to be regretted, so why should we bury her?" Jenson retorted, "Stop talking nonsense and just do it."

Carson ordered a guard, saying, "Carry her on your back. Let's go."

At this moment, fireworks suddenly erupted in the northwest sky.

Jenson looked at the signal hidden in the fireworks." Superior Monster, come back quickly."

Jenson immediately turned around, galloping toward the northwest like a panther.

Green Plum Town.

By the time Carson escorted Iris back to Green Plum Town, it was already five o'clock in the morning.

Angeline was sleeping soundly.

Meanwhile, Jay was preoccupied with something in his heart. He had a hand resting on his head as he looked out the window thoughtfully.

He had never felt time moving so slowly before.

Hearing the knocks on the door outside, Jay leaped off the bed almost immediately.

His sudden movements woke Angeline up, and she looked at him in a daze. "Did Baby Robbie and Jens

come back?"

Jay's body froze slightly.

The outside world was probably bathing in blood.

It was impossible that Jens had returned.

Baby Robbie would not be returning at this time either.

"Maybe. I'll go and open the door. You can get back to bed first," Jay said as he gently patted her on the head. He tried to make his tone as calm and bland as possible. "Okay." Angeline nodded and closed her eyes.

Once Jay had left, Angeline's confusion was finally clearing up. She became more clear-headed.

Jenson and Baby Robbie coming here at this hour would probably be due to some urgent matter, right?

She swiftly put on her clothes and hurriedly ran out.

Outside the door.

Carson had placed Iris' body on the ground. At this moment, Iris' face had turned darker while her body was getting stiffer.

When Jay opened the door, this stranger's corpse greeted him.

"What on earth is going on?" Jay angrily exclaimed at Carson.

The corpse of the military intelligence division agent could be disposed of anywhere on their own. What was the use of alarming him in the middle of the night like this? Carson felt wronged. "Young Master Jens was the one who asked us to send the corpse to Green Plum Town. The words he conveyed were to bury her."

Jay's gaze fell on Iris' wound, and he was slightly taken aback.

The military intelligence division had poisoned the girl.

Since Jenson wanted to bury her, she was most likely pure and good-hearted in nature. She was by no means a person who associated herself with evil.
