Chapter 1671

When Boye left Jay's courtyard, her expression was still a little confused. When she got home, her husband asked, "Was it a pleasant conversation with your grandson?"

Boye nodded and shook her head at the same time.

The grandpa placed his work down in surprise. He came closer to Boye and asked with concern, "Does the child hate you?" 1

Boye said in bewilderment, "He didn't say that. It's just that his attitude toward me was not really enthusiastic."

Boye suddenly chuckled out loud. "For so many years, everyone regarded Boye as a guest of honor and did all kinds of things to please me. He's the only one who rejected the benefits I offered to give him." The grandpa was a little surprised. "Were you planning on handing your research results to him?"

Boye sighed. "He doesn't seem to want them."

The grandpa asked suspiciously, "He truly doesn't want them?"

Boye replied, "He does. But he wants me to contribute his share to the country."

The grandpa was dumbfounded. "He's truly a person not tempted by money or power."

Boy was somewhat discouraged, saying, "Tell me, what do you think he's thinking?"

The grandpa said, "I think he appears deeply shrewd, and we can't be deceived by his appearance. Let's wait for Angeline to come over another day, and you can try to probe some answers out of her. That girl appears to be silly and sweet at first glance..."

Boye nodded.

Inside the residence across the street.

Angeline was lying on the bed in a white nightdress, sleeping peacefully. Suddenly, she had a nightmare of getting bitten by a big bad wolf.

It abruptly woke Angeline up from her sleep. As soon as she opened her eyes, she noticed that Jay was kissing her lips, and her pupils widened...

"Angeline, I want to do it..." Jay's forbearing expression made Angeline feel pitiful toward him.

Angeline nodded.

Jay got up and sat down instead. "It's fine. I'll settle it myself."

Just when he was about to get out of bed, Angeline wrapped herself around him like a snake. "Darling, I can handle it."

Jay looked back at Angelina's face that had just woken up, and the amorous feeling of inviting him in was exuded everywhere. "Then, I'll be gentle." The prolonged drought was meeting the rain!

There were endless charms, hastening the blossoming of peach blossoms.

In the end, Angeline exhaustedly nestled herself in his arms. Jay gently tidied up Angeline's sweaty hair. "Tired?"

Angeline covered her face with her hands, so embarrassed that she did not want to discuss this issue with him.

Jay smiled at her peacefully.

As if to reward her for her tenderness and consideration, Jay suddenly proposed. "Make a wish. I'll help you to realize it."

Angeline looked at Jay in surprise. "Really?"

Jay said. "Has Jaybie ever lied to you?"

"I want to buy a mobile phone."

Jay's face was petrified.

"Do you perhaps want to reconsider?" Jay asked her solemnly.

Angeline said coquettishly, "Darling, I miss the children. What kind of lives are they currently living without us around?"

Jay had always restrained himself from thinking about the people and affairs in Imperial Capital.

However, when Angeline suddenly mentioned their children, they were still the people he cared about most over there. His longing was akin to a tide that burst a dam. It instantly turned into a disastrous flood. "We'll buy a phone tomorrow."

"Alright."

Imperial Capital.

The spring term in major middle and elementary schools had ended. The students were now entering their summer vacations. 2

Chapter 1672

Chapter 1672

This was simply the greatest news for the Ares children who had been making up for their studies for a few months now.

"Hear ye, hear ye! Today's the last day of our make-up lessons this semester. Tomorrow is the first day of summer vacation," Baby Zetty announced with a megaphone speaker in her hand. "Sisters, what have you all planned for the two months of summer vacation?"

Baby Robbie lay on the table lazily. He said with drowsy eyes, "I have a hunch that my dear brother-in-law won't let us off for vacation so easily."

Baby Zetty threw the speaker in her hand and scolded Baby Robbie bashfully, "Who are you calling your brother-in-law? Tell me, who is it? I'm not even in a relationship just yet."

Baby Robbie stretched his hands, nimbly catching the speaker. He proceeded to tease Baby Zetty, saying, "You're blindly confessing right now. You're not the only sister around here, so how do you know that was talking about you? Oh, I see. So, you do have someone in mind, then? Tell me, who is it? Your big brother here will help you out."

Baby Zetty covered her face and stomped on her feet i

n shame. "You did that on purpose."

Their spat caused the other sisters to burst into laughter.

Baby Robbie stood up and walked over to Baby Zetty. He placed a hand on her shoulder and said, "My dear sister, I know you like Brother Finn. But I have to remind you that Brother Finn is so much older than you. Besides, he's handsome, charming, and suave. There are a lot of women out there who are chasing after him. One day, if he accidentally loses control of his physical urges outside, then you and Finn will be thoroughly done."

Baby Zetty got anxious. "Then, what should I do?"

Sis Two said with some heroic charm, "Baby Zetty, to be on the safe side, you should be the one who tackles Brother Finn first."

Baby Zetty swallowed her saliva. "That's a difficult task. Whenever I enter his room, he'll just drive me out."

Sis Three rubbed her chin and racked her brains for ideas. "Why don't we help you knock him out first? Then, you can do whatever you want with him."

Baby Zetty's eyes shone brightly.

Grayson, Finn, Storm, and Tempest, who were standing by the classroom door, heard this piece of breaking news. They were all instantly petrified.

"Finn, I have a premonition that your body will no longer be in its pure state," Grayson teased.

Finn's expression turned gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you let her succeed, our foster father will drag you into the depths of hell and make your life worse than death." Grayson covered his mouth.

"Foster Father is not in favor of Baby Zetty being in a relationship so young," Tempest reminded them.

This single sentence woke everyone up from their dreams.

Grayson felt the severity of the situation and said sharply, "From now on, Finn, you're never to be separated from the rest of us, so that you're safe from being captured by these young ladies."

Finn looked at the girls from the military intelligence division and rolled up his sleeves for the upcoming battle. "In their last combat class, let's first understand their fighting style so that we won't get beaten up so easily in the future."

"Good call."

Grayson and the others walked into the classroom, and the noisy classroom immediately turned silent.

"Who said they were planning to knock me out?" Finn quickly shifted the embarrassing topic.

The sisters from the military intelligence division were brazen, so they all raised their hands.

"It was us, Brother Finn," they said in unison.

Finn shook his finger at them. "Then, I'll give you a chance right now. Come here and fight me. Let's test that ability of yours. Let's see which one of you will be able to knock me out!"

The sisters smiled at him bashfully. "If so many people go over and beat you up at the same time, it won't be such a glorious victory, will it?"

Finn gritted his teeth. "So why would you think that secretly knocking me out will be a glorious victory?"

The sisters were dumbfounded.

It turned out Brother Finn had heard all of their conversations earlier.

Finn said indignantly, "The summer vacation is canceled."

"Please don't." Baby Zetty was not the studious type. When she heard that summer vacation was canceled, she immediately wailed out loud. "Brother Finn, I won't take advantage of you, nor will I bully you. Please don't be angry and give us back our vacation."

Finn,"..."

"Do you even have the strength to bully me?" Finn gritted his teeth.

How weak did she think he was in her heart?

 

Chapter 1673

Chapter 1673

"We want our summer vacation. Please give us back our vacation!" the children protested.

Grayson threw the test papers in his hand onto the table and cleared his throat. "These are your scores for the make-up lessons. The lowest score is 11, and the highest is 59. With such marks, even summer vacation won't want you guys to be a part of it."

The children started giggling happily.

Grayson continued, "You lot will enter Imperial Domain Experimental Middle School next semester and study in a class with other students. The bottom 1 2 positions in the class will probably belong to you guys. Aren't you embarrassed?"

"Why should we be embarrassed? There's a bible saying that goes, 'If not me, then who?' Someone has to be at the bottom in every class, so if it's not us, it'll be someone else anyway," said Baby Robbie. Grayson felt utterly dispirited. "Are your skins as thick as melon peels?"

The children shook their heads.

"Mine's as thick as a watermelon peel." "Mine's pumpkin."

"Mine's cantaloupe."

"Mine's as thick as bitter gourd."

"Unteachable children!" Finn sighed.

"What hopeless cases!" Storm was driven mad.

The four Ghost members looked at each other in dismay, slightly at a loss.

The children started rioting despotically. "Summer, summer, we want our summer vacation!"

At this moment, there were sudden and powerful footsteps in the corridor. It was the season of warmth and spring flowers, but it felt like snowflakes were floating about. Even the temperature inside the classroom had dropped below the freezing point.

A sly smile appeared on the Ghost members' faces instantly, and all four of them looked somewhat relieved.

"We have a new teacher?" The children guessed suspiciously.

Grayson announced, "You've guessed correctly. A new teacher will be teaching you children during the summer vacation."

Did they invite a new teacher on the last day of the semester?

The children could feel their wonderful summer vacation going up in smoke. They were immediately filled with complaints about this insensitive new teacher.

"Who is it? Is he that poor that he needs to rely on summer make-up classes to earn more income?"

Baby Robbie crossed one leg on top of the other and flipped a fountain pen around his hand at lightning speed.

Everyone looked at the door with deep suspense.

When Jenson's straight figure reached the door, looking like a child with splendid prospects, the children's bitter and resentful gazes instantly turned astonished instead. "Why is it you, Jens?"

Jenson was wearing a grown-up suit, and his mature solemn face was covered with frost. He appeared indifferent, and due to his tall height and iceberg-like expression, he looked particularly more mature than the rest.

"My family is broke, so I'm here making money with some part-time jobs. With the money I make, I'll be able to support my brother and sisters in their studies." Jenson kept his handsome face straight, but he was muttering nonsense so earnestly.

Baby Robbie and all the sisters were dumbfounded.

They talked nonsense almost every day but were never so severe.

Today, someone was being much more nonsensical than they were, and there was a feeling of being entirely suppressed by him.

"So, you're our new teacher for summer vacation, Jens?" With his springlike and enchanting face, Baby Robbie went out of control almost instantly.

"You were the top student of our class before, so where'd you go? Why are you our teacher now? Where have you been this whole time, Jens?" Baby Robbie asked again.

Jenson replied, "In order to be able to teach this class, I went abroad and further improved myself. Now that I'm an overseas returnee, I guess I'm qualified to teach you guys, right?"

Chapter 1674

Chapter 1674

Baby Robbie felt that there was some incomprehensible truth in Jenson's nonsense. "What on earth were you up to?" Jenson said, "I've formally taken over Grand Asia and the responsibility of being the guardian of everyone here."

Baby Robbie felt his voice tremble uncontrollably. "Where are Daddy and Mommy?"

It was like this every single time. Whenever something happened to Mommy and Daddy, Jenson would always use his most keen observation skills to detect specific trends and take over while he was kept in the dark.

"Mommy is sick, so Daddy took her away for some relaxation time," Jenson said in a light tone.

"What kind of sickness?" Baby Robbie clenched his fists.

Jenson was silent.

"Did her anxiety disorder get worse?" Baby Zetty asked.

His intuitions told Baby Robbie that Daddy would not have taken Mommy away if it was purely her anxiety disorder.

Jenson looked at the sisters from the military intelligence division. Not wanting them to think that they had been abandoned, he truthfully explained," She has depression, anxiety disorder, and anorexia... Mommy lost tons of weight from it..."

The children started crying sorrowfully.

Baby Robbie's pupils turned scarlet as he suddenly rushed out in a frenzy. "I'll kill you, Chloe Yorks!"

Jenson chased after him and pulled Baby Robbie's wrist back. "Don't act too recklessly, Robbie."

Baby Robbie roared, "I was finally reunited with Mommy after so long and Chloe caused us to separate once more. She's the cause of the disasters that have befallen our family!"

Jenson said gently, "Before Daddy left, he merely asked me to do two things. The first thing is to urge you guys to study well. The second thing is to prohibit Baby Zetty from dating so young. Daddy didn't ask for us to avenge Mommy. If you have to, I won't stop you from doing it. But you'll have to stop yourself from going too far. Keep it in moderation."

Baby Robbie nodded. "Alright."

"We'll go too." The sisters followed Baby Robbie out.

Apart from the Ghost members, only Baby Zetty and Jenson were left in the classroom. Baby Zetty had tears in her eyes as she looked at Jenson grievously.

"Are you going to stop me from pursuing Brother

Finn?" Baby Zetty asked.

Jenson replied, "I'm not going to prevent you from pursuing the things, or people, you love. But I have to remind you that Finn is brilliant and handsome, so why would he choose someone like you? Just because you're beautiful or because you're the rich daughter of the Ares family? Being beautiful is a genetic inheritance from Daddy and Mommy, and your current status was handed to you by Daddy as well. What do you have to offer? What kind of riches have you earned yourself through hard work?"

Baby Zetty was stunned by his words. She sobbed, saying, "Are you saying I have nothing to offer?"

Jenson replied, "Even if you have nothing, your brothers will take care of you for the rest of your life. Only if you're willing to become an Ares parasite."

Baby Zetty was touched by the first half of Jenson's sentence, but then she felt severely wounded by the second half.

"You're looking down on me. Just you wait and see, I'll not become a parasite. I'll become as excellent as you

Jenson said with much satisfaction, "I'll be waiting."

Baby Zetty left angrily.

When she passed by Finn, Baby Zetty raised her gaze t o look at him with reddened eyes. She thought that Finn would comfort her, but when Finn received a death stare from Jenson, he could only choose to ignore Baby Zetty's cry for help.

Baby Zetty proceeded to stomp away furiously.

"Is that not... too cruel for the girl?" Tempest pinched his chin.

Jenson said, "Are you her daddy or her mommy?"

Tempest,

Jenson continued unkindly, "Grand Old Master Yorks spoiled his daughter and she turned catastrophic. Us Areses will not raise such a rotten young lady."

The Ghost members finally understood Jenson's good intentions.

Tourmaline Estate.

When Baby Robbie led the sisters of the military intelligence division to storm into Fragrant Vessel Court, Grand Old Master Ares' attendants almost immediately notified him of this matter.

Chapter 1675

Chapter 1675

"Bad news, Grand Old Master, Young Master Robbie and the ladies adopted by Master Ares have stormed into Fragrant Vessel Court aggressively."

Grand Old Master Ares was so shocked that he placed the teacup in his hand on the table and said, "Push me over there. Hurry."

Fragrant Vessel Court.

Chloe, Sandra, and Judy were sitting by the courtyard as they chatted. Judy was very at a loss about her future, and her mood was utterly gloomy. She complained to Chloe, "Aunt Chloe, I think Brother Jay i s unable to get rid of Angeline in this lifetime. Could it be that our relationship is hopeless now?"

On Chloe's aged face, her wrinkles seemed to have deepened by a whole lot now. She sighed in a lonesome manner. "You still have a little hope as long as Jay and Angeline are still in Imperial Capital. Even i Jay and Angeline don't divorce, you can stay as a little mistress behind Jay. However, this is too degrading for you."

After so many obstacles and blows, Chloe had learned to compromise. She dared not expect Jay and Angeline to divorce now.

Judy said, "It's not belittling me at all. As long as I can be with Brother Jay, it doesn't matter whether I have status or not."

Chloe looked at the young and beautiful Judy, feeling moved by her statement. She said, "I have no clue what Jay is thinking. He'd rather give up on a young, blossoming girl like you and have that sickly woman, Angeline, by his side."

Sandra smiled and said, "Don't be so gloomy. From my point of view, isn't Angeline seriously ill anyway? I heard that she's severely thin and doesn't even look human anymore. If Master Ares has to face such a monster every day, even an infatuated man will lose his appetite after some time. So, all you have to do now is wait your turn, Judy. I believe Jay will be back soon, and he'll also start liking you." With that, Judy started to regain some confidence for the future.

Suddenly, the iron gate of Fragrant Vessel Court was kicked by someone, sending it flying pretty far before landing on a flower bush nearby.

Chloe and the others looked toward the loud sound and saw Baby Robbie and the Ares family's adopted daughters approaching them with their hands on their hips. Chloe's expression instantly darkened. "What are you people doing here?" Judy stood up to protect Chloe.

Seeing that the situation was anything but reassuring,

Sandra hurriedly went inside to inform the rest.

Baby Robbie approached Judy, his handsome face overflowing with an enchanting aura.

"Chloe Yorks, saving you from the military intelligence division was, hands down, the most regretful thing I've ever done in my life. By saving you, I've caused my mother so much suffering. Do you know how much I blame myself?" Baby Robbie roared at Chloe indignantly.

Chloe also became flushed with anger. "So in you people's eyes, Angeline's life is oh-so precious. Isn't m y life precious as well?"

Baby Robbie smiled disdainfully. "You? Are you worthy of being compared with my mommy? My mommy helps people and brings happiness to a lot of others when she's healthy. You're nothing but vile. Every word that comes out of your mouth is evil. You'll only bring disaster to all of us, and you live your life like it's a joke."

"How can you say that about your grandmother, Baby Robbie?" Grand Old Master Yorks, Jordan, and

Spencer heard some loud noises and quickly rushed out without a pause. They then heard the sounds of Baby Robbie reprimanding Chloe.

Grand Old Master Yorks doddered over, no longer as cheerful as he used to be. His face was now filled with bitterness as he said helplessly, "Baby Robbie, your grandma is indeed the one in the wrong here. But the tragedy has already happened, and you cannot change

the past even if you scold her. You're still younger than her, after all. And she's your grandmother. You still have to be polite to her."

Baby Robbie smiled wickedly and snarled. "You want me to be polite to her? She turned me into a child who has no mom or dad. Why should I be courteous to her?

"I think I'm very polite for not killing her by now."

Chloe gritted her teeth with anger. "Alright. Since you all dislike me and blame me for everything, then I'll die right here for you people. Let's see if your hatred disappears once I drop dead."

Chapter 1676

Chapter 1676

Baby Robbie said furiously, "I'll still hate you even if you're dead unless my mom and dad come home and unless my mommy is healthy again. Otherwise, I won't forgive you even if you die." Grand Old Master Ares hurriedly went over in his wheelchair. Seeing Baby Robbie's flustered and exasperated expression and sisters of the military intelligence division lining up to protect him, the old man finally understood.

This was a dispute that could not be resolved by force.

Grand Old Master Ares sighed dejectedly and comforted Baby Robbie, saying, "Robbie, come here. Great-grandpa wants to have a few words with you."

Baby Robbie turned around and strolled toward Grand Old Master Ares.

Grand Old Master Ares felt sorry for the child and comforted him. "Don't be sad, my child. Listen to Greatgrandpa. What's said cannot be unsaid, but don't make any more trouble here. Your mother is a believer, and she believes in doing good deeds. If one is good-hearted, God will bless them and protect who they care about. I think this is also the reason why your dad didn't punish your grandma."

Baby Robbie was most obedient toward his mommy. As such, he nodded silently and walked out in a dispirited manner.

Chloe was no longer at peace, so she questioned Grand Old Master Ares in disbelief, "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

Grand Old Master Ares was naturally uncourteous toward her. His face was rather cold, and his voice was not at all gentle when he said, "I mean it literally."

Chloe snarled. "So you're saying Jay is currently asking for blessings for Angeline? That's why he's not making things difficult for me? Is that so?"

Conversely, if he were not praying for Angelina's safety, he would have definitely taken revenge on his mother?

Chloe could not bear such a conclusion at all.

"What nonsense. Jay respects me as his mother. So it doesn't matter what I do, he still won't do anything in retort."

Grand Old Master Ares sneered, "You think too highly of yourself, Chloe. Jack is Jay's adoptive father. He was placed higher than you in Jay's heart since he had taken care of him, but because Jack was disrespectful toward Angeline, Jay retaliated against him by tenfold. It was fortunate that Jack had merely been in an act. If it were real, the relationship between that pair of father and son would have ended long ago."

It was as if Chloe had come to her senses. Jack had indeed raised Jay, so what the grand old master was saying could be true.

However, Chloe was one who would not accept defeat until she was at the end of her rope. She was unconvinced and said, "Who said that Jack is placed higher inside Jay's heart? Without me, he wouldn't exist."

Grand Old Master Ares lived a transparent life. He did not bother to pay attention to Chloe but merely said goodbye to the others and said, "Best wishes to you all."

After all the outsiders left Fragrant Vessel Court, Grand Old Master Yorks' body suddenly trembled.

"Dad!" Spencer exclaimed.

Grand Old Master Yorks was heartbroken. "Drat! Now Baby Robbie knows the truth as well and resents his grandmother so much. The Yorks family have truly been torn apart!"

Chloe said, "No, Dad. When Jay comes back, the children's anger will disappear as well."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corners of Grand Old Master Yorks' lips. He looked at the vast sky in a lonesome manner and was evidently in despair as he said, "Angeline's illness is so severe. What if something were to happen to her? You've seen it yourself that we're the ones at fault in the Severe and Ares families' eyes. No one will ever forgive us."

Chapter 1677

Chapter 1677

"There's also Jay," Chloe said, taking her chances." He'll forgive me. I'm sure he will."

Grand Old Master lamented, "Hmph, if anything happens to Angeline, then Jay will have nothing to lose nor does he need to earn good karma anymore. He will turn into a bloodthirsty lion, and you'll be the first person torn apart by him."

Chloe quivered suddenly. Colors drained from her face as she said, "No, he wouldn't do that to me. He won't."

Grand Old Master Yorks said, "That was what I thought back then, but I'm absolutely certain about it now. It has been more than three months, but Jay still hasn't contacted you."

Grand Old Master Yorks turned around and entered the house after saying those words.

Chloe was on the verge of collapsing.

Cloud City.

A completely different scene.

Angeline took Jay to a mobile phone shop and was enthusiastic about purchasing a new phone. Jay, on the other hand, looked reluctant.

"What type of mobile phone are you looking for?" the

salesperson asked obsequiously.

"Do you have one in black for this one?" Angeline pointed to an Apple mobile phone and asked.

The salesperson apologized. "Sorry, black is out of stock."

"I'll have white then," Angeline said.

"White is out of stock too."

Angeline said reluctantly, "I'll have two red ones then."

Angeline then bought two SIM cards, paid the money, and left with the mobile phones, feeling satisfied.

"Look, darling. Do you like it?" Angeline shook the phone in front of Jay's frosty face.

When Jay saw the red-colored phone, the reluctance in his eyes intensified.

"I don't need it for now." Jay declined tactfully.

"You really don't want it?" Angeline confirmed again.

Jay replied, "No."

As soon as they got home, Jay entered the kitchen. Angeline took the phones into the bedroom and began decorating them carefully.

When Jay was done making lunch and entered the bedroom, he saw Angeline's back facing him. She was currently absorbed in sticking tiny diamond stickers on the phones.

There were two sunflowers with their respective names in the hearts of the flowers. Anyone could tell a t first glance that these were a couple's phones.

Angeline picked up the phone with her name on it and asked Jay mischievously, "If you don't want it, darling, I'm going to give this phone away." Jay's dashing face turned dark at once. He reached out and squeezed Angeline's face as if punishing her." Who are you planning to give it to?"

Angeline laughed. "Josie said she really likes sunflowers and has asked me to stick a sunflower design on her phone before. Why don't I give this to her?"

Jay put on an austere expression, then snatched the phone and put it in his pocket.

After having her way, Angeline let out a smile that was sweeter than honey.

Now that Angeline had a mobile phone, she was eager to make a call. She instinctively wanted to give Josephine a call first because Josephine was the second person she trusted the most after Jay. At least Josephine would not hold back unpleasant news from her like Zayne and Sis Shirley would.

"I'm going to give Josephine a call," Angeline said to Jay cheerfully.

Jay's handsome face was dark and gloomy as he said enviously, "Josephine really does have a special place in your hurt, huh?"

How could it ever cross Angeline's mind that Master Ares would be jealous of Josephine? She went along with him and said, "Of course. We're sisters who have gone through hardships together."

Jay looked at Angeline with a gloomy expression.

However, when Angeline tried to dial Josephine's number, she realized that she did not remember it. Previously when she called Josephine, she would just pull up her number from the address book instead of memorizing it.

Angeline stared blankly at Jay.

"What's wrong?" Jay asked.

Angeline turned to Jay for help. "What's Josephine's phone number?"

Chapter 1678

Chapter 1678

Jay was stunned, and his lips curved up into a slight smile as he teased, "Didn't you say you're sisters who have gone through hardships together?" Angeline boasted shamelessly, "I went through hardships with Josephine, not her mobile phone."

Jay said, "I can't remember either."

Angeline wanted to call Mrs. Yorks only to realize that she did not remember her number either.

Jay thought of something really important and asked," Do you remember my number?" She could not have forgotten everyone's number, could she? Angeline blurted out, "52013140831!"

Jay frowned. "Stop screwing around."

Angeline said, "I read it backward."

Jay was stunned... Then his frosty and charming face melted at once.

He picked Angeline up all of a sudden and chirped," Let's go and have something to eat."

"Put me down, darling."

"No." "Ahhhhh... Watch your waist. I'm getting heavier now."

"My waist is perfectly fine! Want to try it out?"

"How do you even try that?"

Jay placed Angeline on the couch and pinned her down. "What do you think?"

"Ahem." Standing at the door, Grandma Boye cleared her throat awkwardly to remind the couple who seemed to be passionately in love.

Jay let go of Angeline and went back to looking cold and elegant at once.

"Grandma," he called out in a lukewarm tone.

Angeline looked at the two. When she saw Jay's cold and distant bearing as well as Boye's apprehensiveness, she knew what was going on immediately. Jaybie and Grandma Boye probably did not have a pleasant reunion.

Angeline jumped up, bouncing like a bunny and pulling Boye inside enthusiastically.

"Come in, Grandma. My husband made a lot of food today. Come and eat with us."

Jay frowned... This girl was a benign and uncontentious person who did not know how to distinguish between right and wrong.

All the webnovels she read over the years had gone to the dumps. An eye for an eye-that was what most novels taught the readers, no?

Angeline's enthusiasm dispersed Boye's embarrassment.

She walked over with an amiable smile and sat on the couch. Staring at Jay, she said, "I'm here today because I have something to discuss with Angelina, J J."

Jay was even more alert when he heard that this was related to Angeline.

"What is it? You can just say it in front of me." His overbearing tone could send chills down one's spine.

Having said that, Jay sat down next to Angeline, crossing one leg over the other like a noble and extraordinary-looking dark emperor.

Boye felt inexplicably terrified. Fortunately, Angeline, the adorable girl, was here to mediate. "Why do you want to see me, Grandma?" Her voice was feminine and charming.

Boye said, "I've been thinking about it. Although I treasure my research results greatly, I will have to leave one day anyway and I can't take anything with me when I die. I've decided to give them all to you as a gift."

Jay protested immediately. "No. Since you treasure them so much, you can take them to the grave with you. My Angeline doesn't like these things anyway, so why bother giving them to her?"

Jay was extremely clear-headed. Boye's treasures were like a hot potato and he would never let Angeline take them.

Boye said, "Can you let me finish, Jay?"

Jay fell silent.

Boye said earnestly, "You're not me, so you won't understand why I treasure them so much. My whole life and my youth have been devoted to these research results. They're my life."

Chapter 1679

Chapter 1679

Boye glanced at Jay, afraid that he did not understand her. She then made a metaphor, saying, "They are as important to me as Angeline is to you." Jay sank into deep thoughts.

Boye said again, "I'm giving them to Angeline because I know that Angeline is sensitive and will be able to empathize with me as well as handle my research results carefully."

Having said that, she glanced at Jay with a trace of resentment. "She won't cast them aside like you."

Jay's mesmerizing face sank slightly.

A smile crept onto Angeline's face when she saw the defeated look on Jay's face.

Shortly after that, she took a stand by saying," Grandma, love is something we as humans cannot live without. We love our family, and this is a love that runs deep and brings no regret, but we need to love our country as well. Medical achievements are the foundation of love, so if you don't mind, Grandma, I'd like to donate a part of it to our country. Of course, I will keep a small portion of the results for your descendants so they can keep living under your protection and love."

Jay looked at Angeline and admired her way of handling things. He was a man, hence he would think of a problem in a much simpler way. As such, how could it have possibly crossed his mind that Grandma Boye's selfishness also stemmed from her love for the future generations?

Although Grandma Boye was pleased with Angeline s way of distributing her research results, she was still slightly worried. "Come to my place when you have the time, Angeline. I'll show you my research results."

Angeline nodded generously.

After Boye left, Angeline began spacing out. She looked at Jay, at a loss at what to do. "Darling, Grandma has entrusted a huge responsibility to me. I'm worried that I won't be able to do well." Jay said, "You've done a really good job already."

Worried that Angeline would become immersed in this problem and harm her newly recovered health, Jay started finding ways to cheer her up.

After thinking about it over and over again, Jay eventually came up with a solution-to contact their family in Imperial Capital.

Jay picked up the phone and called Zayne.

At this moment, both Zayne and Josephine were sitting on the bed holding their iPad and watching a cliche idol drama, hence when the phone started ringing all of a sudden, Zayne wanted to ignore it. Josephine pushed him. "Answer the phone."

Zayne glanced at the phone screen and saw a string of strange numbers. He said decisively, "It's a spam call. I'm not going to pick up."

However, the phone kept ringing... Zayne had no choice but to pick up the phone and growled. "Watch how I'm going to deal with you!"

"Hello."

When the call was connected, Zayne said sarcastically, "I won't take loans, buy a house nor buy or sell anything... Stop spam calling me. If you have so much time to give me a call, why not use that time to keep your wife and kids company instead?"

Jay's dashing face darkened completely. Did Zayne think that this was a spam call?

He also had the audacity to speak so rudely to him?

Anyone who offended Jay would go to hell.

Angeline looked at Jay's grim and sinister expression and felt sorry for Zayne.

Jay cleared his throat, suppressed his voice, and said," Congratulations, Zayne. You have successfully earned yourself the reputation of being Swallow City's prodigal young prince."

"F*ck. I've stopped being prodigal for many years now... If you call me prodigal one more time, I'll take this to your ancestors."

"Well I don't know if you were prodigal or not back then, but you've now lived up to your name as a prodigal son. I've transferred out all the funds of the Severes' businesses."

"Who are you? You're so full of yourself. Do you even know the password to access the Severes' funds?"

"Chontelzac$&&&" Jay stated the account password... Zayne paled abruptly.

His voice started quivering when he spoke, "Who are you?"

"Apologize to me."

"I'm sorry."

"Show more sincerity." i

Chapter 1680

"You're my old man, the boss of me, and my ancestor. Will that do?"

Angeline bared her fangs. "Useless brat."

Jay stopped before he went too far, saying, "I'm your big brother."

Zayne was stunned for a long time. Josephine then reminded him with great excitement, "It's Big Brother, Zayne, it's Big Brother!"

Zayne gulped. "Which big brother?"

"My big brother."

Zayne was dumbfounded.

He then screamed into the phone, "Do you have a lot of free time, Big Brother? Do you know what time it is? And you're giving me a call to pull a prank on me?

Isn't my sister sick? How can you be in such a good mood? You'd better be honest with me, have you been taking care of my sister at all..."

Jay went back to being cold and lofty again, ignoring Zayne's comments straight away. He asked coolly, 'Where's Josephine?"

Zayne was exasperated. "I'm talking to you. Can you please answer my question first?"

"Which question?"

Jay believed that a person who often talked carelessly like Zayne would certainly not remember the things he just said.

Sure enough, Zayne was stunned for a very long time and eventually stammered, "How's my sister doing?"

However, Jay said, "Before I answer your question, I need you to first answer my question."

Zayne was about to have an emotional breakdown." Nuisances like you are always torturing people."

Zayne handed the phone to Josephine. "Your brother is looking for you. Please ask him how my sister is doing."

Josephine took the phone and was so excited that she was tongue-tied. "It's... It's been a while, Big... Big Brother. Are you and Angeline doing okay?"

On the other end.

Jay handed the phone to Angeline who called out sweetly, "I'm fine, Josephine."

Josephine cried out with joy. "Oh, that's so good to hear! We were so worried about you, Sis Angeline. We're so glad to hear that you're okay." "How's everyone doing, Josie?"

Josephine thought for a while. She was used to being honest with Angeline, so she searched her brain to figure out how everyone was doing.

"Your mother-in-law is not doing so well. She's now a n object of universal condemnation." Josephine sounded more and more enthusiastic as she went on." Some time ago, the Severes had a row with the Yorks. Grandpa was so eloquent that he managed to shut them up. Grand Old Master Yorks even took the initiative to apologize to Grandpa."

"Huh?"

"Also, also, a few days ago, Baby Robbie led your adopted daughters into Fragrant Vessel Court and gave Chloe a good scolding."

"Huh?"

Angelina had not expected her illness to trigger such a huge negative reaction. Suddenly, she felt really uneasy.

"Where are you, Sis Angeline?" Josephine suddenly asked.

Angeline blurted out, "I'm in Cloud City."

Zayne's eyes lit up. He immediately tossed the iPad aside, then jumped off the bed and started packing.

When Josephine saw what Zayne was doing, she asked cautiously, "Where are you staying at? Have you gotten used to life over there?"

"Your brother bought a courtyard house. It isn't big, but it's really cozy and extremely comfortable."

Angeline then asked about the others, especially her children. After learning that Grayson and the rest were using summer vacation to help the children with their homework, she could finally set her mind at

ease.
