Ch. 1951..1960

Chapter 1951

Jenson had a strong personality and refused to be threatened by anyone. At that moment, he was convinced that this person would not dare to shoot him. Even if he did, Jenson was not afraid. He did a quick backflip and swept the assassin's leg, causing him to fall to the ground.

At the same time, the Ares sisters caught up and they circled Jenson to protect him. Pedestrians on the road hurried off when they saw that.

Jenson stared at the person under his feet coldly and stepped on his chest with one foot. He said evilly, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

The man shouted in pain and said, "I get paid to take care of things. I won't betray my employer!"

Jenson squatted on the ground and said, "I have a way to get you to confess who's behind the scenes."

Then, he lifted the back of the man's neck like he weighed nothing. The man was secretly horrified and said, "I didn't expect you to be so young but so strong."

Jenson said, "There are many things that you didn't expect. You'll find out soon enough that I'm the biggest nightmare of your life."

The man asked anxiously, "What do you want to do to

me?"

Jenson said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. Your family members, however, will find themselves in a situation that's worse than death. I'll make sure that they're ashamed of being related to scum like you."

The man had cold chills all over her body.

"I didn't expect you to be so vicious at a young age."

Jenson sneered and said, "I'm vicious? Haha, I'm making an example out of you. If I don't send them a message, they won't remember the lesson."

After panicking briefly, the man quickly calmed down. "I have no family, so don't bother."

Jenson said, "It's alright, I'll help you locate your family for free."

The man trembled.

He was hoping that the kid was just boasting. He may not be as capable as he said he was.

Jenson took him into the basement of Grand Asia. He then turned on the equipment there, scanned the man's body, and the computer started to analyze.

"Jake Whitman, male, 39 years old, born in Texas..."

As more and more of his personal information was revealed, the man began panicking even more.

He exclaimed in horror, "How is this possible?! This is much more advanced than genetic testing and fingerprint identification."

Jenson said, "Grand Asia's identity authentication device authenticates your fingerprint when scanning your body."

Jenson turned off the machine and stared at the man condescendingly. He crossed his arms and noticed that the assassin had lowered his defenses. His hair was messy, his head was down, and he looked disappointed.

Jenson's voice resembled a hellish demon as he said." Let's talk, how do you want me to kill your parents? Should I give them a dose of Grand Asia's special lifethreatening pills so that they can experience some euphoria before they die? Or should I set an explosion so big that you won't be able to recognize their bodies? n

The man growled and shouted, "I'll sue you!"

Jenson said coldly, "Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to take the blame. After all, in this world, there are many black sheep like you who are willing to die for food and money. What do you think?" At this, the man broke down. "What do you want from me?"

Jenson did not have the patience to bargain with him. He said coldly, "I said, I just want to set an example. This is for my peace and quiet. I can't be bothered to deal with each thug who dares challenge me." "Let my family go and I'll do it for you." The man was driven mad by Jenson.

Jenson smiled and said, "You're not a worthy partner."

The man pleaded bitterly, "As long as you're willing to let go of my family members, I'll do anything for you, no questions asked."

Jenson walked to the computer and opened the search engine system developed by Grand Asia. Soon, a location appeared.

Chapter 1952

When the man saw the address to his family's house, he was scared into urinary incontinence.

Jenson took a whiff of the strong foul odor and immediately frowned. He proceeded to kick the man's lower body ruthlessly while snarling. "The guy is scared out of his wits. F*cking prick, if you don't have the guts to accept punishment for your evil deeds, then why the f*ck did you do it?"

The man broke down and cried out, "Young Master Jenson, I beg you, please let go of my parents. I'll be honest with you, the other Ares family members actually plotted this..."

Jenson threw a thin book in front of him. The man took a closer look at it and noticed it was densely packed with people's names. It was the genealogy of the other branches of the Ares family."

It turned out Jenson had long guessed that the people who were going against him were the branch family members of the Ares family.

Jenson maliciously scoffed. "I want you to go and cut off all of their fingers for me. Let these scumbags who regard their family members as nothing but crap have a taste of their own medicine."

The man stared at Jenson in surprise.

This kid was indeed cruel.

He would not even let his own uncles off the hook.

"Young Master Jenson..."

Jenson gave him zero chance to bargain and said, "If you count all of those Ares family members who are grown men including their illegitimate children outside the family, there's a total of 28 of them. As for your family, including all of your nine other aunts' family members, there are 56 of you. One finger from each of the Ares men in exchange for the safety of two of your family members. Will you or will you not do it?"

The man looked at Jenson in horror as he sighed inwardly. This kid was the reincarnation of the devil himself.

"I will. I'll do it," said the man.

Then, Jenson ordered Grayson to untie him.

"Send him out."

Grayson asked, "What if he runs away?"

Jenson replied, "Then plant a tracking chip on him. Even if he becomes nothing but a pile of bones, I can still dig three feet underground just to drag him out again."

The man trembled out of fright and said, "1 won't run away."

Jenson said to him, "Before the deal is over, your life belongs to me. Once it's done, I'll take the chip out and give you your freedom again."

The man nodded continuously and said, "Yes, sir.

Copy that, sir."

After the man left, Jenson walked out of the basement with a frown.

At this moment, Baby Robbie had brought Baby Zetty over. When she saw Jenson, she immediately ran up to him. Baby Zetty checked Jenson from head to toe before asking, "Are you alright, Big Brother?" Jenson smiled while rubbing Baby Zetty's head, saying, "I'm fine."

By the time they got home, it was already ten o'clock a t night.

Angelina was standing by the door, eagerly looking toward the road where her children would usually take to get home.

"I wonder what happened today? Why aren't they home yet? And why aren't they answering my calls?"

Jay's phone suddenly notified him of a text message, and when he looked at the text sent by Jenson, his handsome face sank slightly.

[Daddy, we've encountered a slight mishap, but everything has been resolved now. So there's no need to worry. But... how do we explain this to Mommy?]

Jay looked at Angeline who was standing outside the main entrance. The children knew that Mommy was pregnant, so they should not be making her worry.

Then, Jay walked out with a coat in his hand. He gently and affectionately placed it onto Angeline, saying, "It's late, Angeline. You should be resting." Jay was hoping that if Angeline slept now and woke up the following day, she would forget all about the children coming home late.

Angeline said in a melancholic tone, "I have to ask them why they came home so late today. Otherwise, I'll not stop worrying about it."

Chapter 1953

Chapter 1953

Jay did not want Angeline to know that Jenson had just gone through such a thrilling ordeal. If she found out about Jenson getting surrounded by a pack of wolves, she would definitely not be at peace. Jay did not talk about the severity of things and chose to make up an excuse using a trivial matter. "The children just went to the mall to choose some gifts for you and they lost track of time." When a private car stopped by the Chateau de Selene's gate, Angeline suddenly broke free from Jay's arms and ran toward the intersection in excitement.

All of her worries and anxiety disappeared into thin air when she saw her children's smiling faces.

Jay looked at the bunny-like Angeline who was hopping all the way to the children, and his handsome face immediately paled. He ran over in fear and yelled, "Be more careful, Angeline!" The car drove in and stopped by the side of the road, right in front of Angeline.

Then, the children jumped out of the car and hugged their mommy.

"Mommy!"

The sisters presented the four gifts to their mommy,

and because Jenson and the others did not have time to buy presents for her, Sis Andy said very selflessly," Mommy, these are gifts carefully selected for you by all of us. Hurry up and open them. Tell us if you like them."

Angeline excitedly opened one of the gift boxes and saw a gray maternity dress with suspenders inside of it. She immediately smiled at them sweetly.

"Oh my, I like it. I love this so much! I'm going to wear it tomorrow."

Jay's gaze fell on that dull-colored dress, and the expression in his eyes became indescribable. This somewhat hurt him because he had gotten so many other beautiful maternity clothing for Angeline but she did not like wearing them at all.

It seemed like his position in Angeline's heart seemed to have gotten more inferior compared to these children who were as lively as flowers.

"We got you these too, Mommy," Sis Two said while giving her the skincare products.

Angeline accepted them and smiled bloomingly like a flower once more.

"Thank you, my darlings. Mommy likes them very much."

Jay walked over and wanted to help Angeline with the bags in her hands, but Angeline was seemingly guarding her goods against him. She was very reluctant to hand them over. "I can take them myself," said Angeline hurriedly.

Jay was in between laughter and tears as he said," Don't worry, I'll not steal your gifts."

Only then did Angeline hand the gifts over to Jay and mischievously teased him, "Jaybie, the children only bought gifts for me and have nothing for you. Are you jealous of me?"

Jay cast a speechless glance at the smirking Angeline.

Frankly speaking, if the children treated Angeline better than they treated him, it would make Jay utterly delighted.

Jay was looking forward to giving Angeline as much love as she could possibly receive in this world.

However, Jay pretended to be sour about it and replied, "I'm so jealous of you."

The children became nervous, and Big Sis said to him, "We're sorry, Daddy. We didn't have enough money this time, so we couldn't get anything for you. But we'll definitely make it up for you next time." Angeline frowned at this and asked, "Not enough money?"

Panic flashed before Jay's eyes, but he feigned ignorance and sullenly said, "How does Grayson manage your allowances? Why is he so harsh to my little princesses?"

Jenson stared at the pretentious deadpan expression on Daddy's face, and a knowing smile appeared in his eyes.

To let them live an ordinary life and cultivate diligence as well as thriftiness, Daddy had deliberately ordered Grayson to limit their monthly expenses.

The Ares sisters received a monthly allowance of 8,000 for their living expenses while Jenson and Baby Robbie only got 800.

Nonetheless, Angeline cared about the children's affairs regardless of how big or small the matter was.

"Darling, how much are the children's living expenses per month?"

Jay vaguely replied to her, "Oh, I don't remember the exact figure, but TH make sure to ask Grayson later." Angeline frowned and turned to ask Baby Robbie," Baby Robbie, how much was your allowance last month?"

Chapter 1954

Chapter 1954

Jay closed his eyes in despair. Why did Angeline pick Baby Robbie out of all the children?

When Baby Robbie was about to speak, Jenson gave Baby Zetty a wink and she immediately helped Daddy out by answering Mommy loudly. "Mommy, Daddy gives us 8,000 per month."

Angeline glanced at Jay deeply, and Jay could only shoot her a smile.

Angeline was reluctant to explode in anger in front of the children so she told them to get inside the house while hiding her true feelings.

Jay lost his elegance for the first time and wanted to toss Angeline aside so that he could turn around and leave.

However, Angeline's little hand grabbed onto him frustratedly, and Jay could not help but wait for all the children to enter before he and Angeline walked behind them.

Angeline nagged, "Why are you so stingy with the children's allowances?"

Jay feigned innocent and said, "Is 8,000 very little? Back in the day, my allowance was only a couple hundred bucks."

Angeline could not tell whether she wanted to laugh or cry. "Don't play dumb with me. Back when I was still studying, you gave me even more than that for my living expenses every month."

Jay grabbed Angeline's shoulders and said, "You're different from them, Angeline. I'll rest easier if you have more money on you."

Angeline fumingly retorted, "That's gibberish."

Jay said, "The children have been in the military intelligence division for many years. Even though they've learned plenty from there, they're completely ignorant of worldly affairs. They're all so naive and innocent, so I'm merely afraid they'll reveal their wealth and be used by those unrighteous boys. You know very well that the Ares girls are all passionate about their feelings. So if they fall for some bad boys, you'll be heartbroken for them."

Angeline pouted her lips, saying, "But the school that our children go to is an aristocratic school attended by children of Imperial Capital's noble families. If the other children can live such extravagant lives, wouldn't ours feel inferior to them?"

Jay replied, "I'll guide them well."

Angeline had no choice but to give it up.

As soon as Jay breathed a sigh of relief, Angeline suddenly thought of something and asked again," How about our Baby Zetty?"

Jay said, "Don't worry, I don't give Baby Zetty preferential treatment, nor would I treat the other children any differently. They're all our daughters, so they're treated equally."

Angeline smiled and said, "You sure are attentive, Jaybie."

Jay replied, "As I should. They're all my wife's darling babies, so I have to support her all the way."

Angeline smiled in relief.

"What about Jenson and Robbie?" Angeline asked unexpectedly.

Jay almost went limp.

He thought that his one act of indiscrimination would help him achieve his aim by underhanded means.

Angeline halted her footsteps and earnestly looked at Jay, waiting for his response.

"Jens and Robbie are boys, and you know how boys are; they're more shameless. So it doesn't matter if they suffer through life a little," Jay said with a guilty conscience.

Angeline continued to pursue answers relentlessly. "I'd like to know how much their living expenses are."

Jay gave it a thought for quite some time. If he let Angeline find out that Jenson and Baby Robbie's allowances were about ordinary people's standards, she would probably feel utterly distressed for them. He simply quoted their living expenses for a whole semester and said, "I believe theirs is about 4,000."

Angeline merely thought that this figure was their monthly allowance and complained, "You're so harsh toward Jens and Baby Robbie."

However, Angeline quickly felt more relieved and said, "But it's alright. Some boys become unruly when they have money, so it's fine to control their budgets."

The children hiding behind the door panel were eavesdropping on their parents, and the girls were all moved to tears.

Meanwhile, Jenson and Baby Robbie looked at them rather bitterly while scoffing. "Stop crying. We're the ones who should be bawling our eyes out."

Chapter 1955

Chapter 1955

It was getting somewhat late, so Angeline and the children merely conversed for a while more before she told the children to head to bed earlier.

Baby Zetty returned to her room and tore off the mask she had put on all day, letting all of her tears flow down.

Brother Finn and Sis Tammy were getting married, and the last bit of hope inside Baby Zetty's heart had completely shattered.

She knew that once Brother Finn and Sis Tammy got married, there would be zero possibility for her and Finn.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Baby Zetty wiped off her tears in a panic.

Angeline entered the room and saw the moment when Baby Zetty was frantically controlling her sobs in a hurry. Her body immediately stiffened by the door. "What's the matter, Zetty?"

Could it be that Jenson and Baby Robbie had only been reporting nothing but pleasant news yet were sweeping the bad news under the carpet?

Zetty obviously had gotten a lot thinner now, and she was smiling more frequently as well. However, it

seemed clear that it was a mask she had put in front of them.

Angeline dragged her heavy footsteps over and walked toward Baby Zetty. She gently probed, asking, "Are you still unable to forget about Brother Finn, Baby Zetty?"

Baby Zetty plunged into Mommy's arms and wailed while apologizing, "I'm sorry for worrying you, Mommy."

Angeline knew that after she became pregnant, Baby Zetty had become more reluctant to share her feelings with her. The child was too filial and wanted to show care toward the baby in Angelina's belly. However, Angeline felt even more sorry for this child after seeing how sensible and kind she was. She very gently coaxed her, saying, "Zetty, you can share whatever that's on your mind with me. Mommy is your most loyal listener, so let's work out a solution to all your confusion. You don't have to worry about the baby in my belly. I think your little brother or sister will be thrilled to share all of your emotions with you."

Baby Zetty stretched her hands out and gently touched Mommy's belly. Then, she suddenly asked," How about having another sister, Mommy?"

Angelina's face suddenly turned dark. Was Baby Zetty giving up on herself? Was that the reason why she needed a sister to take her place instead?

Angeline said to her, "Regardless of its gender, you have to know that all of my children are my most precious treasures. No one would be able to replace anyone."

A shadow flickered across Baby Zetty's eyes. She was at a loss when she said, "I'm not a good daughter, Mommy. I always make you worry about me. I only hope that you'll be able to give birth to another beautiful sister, and she could be someone strong, sharp, and omnipotent like my brothers. Perhaps you'll become happier this way."

Angeline was stunned by her words. A sense of helplessness rushed to her limbs.

"Baby Zetty, my daughters don't have to be strong, sharp, or omnipotent. They just have to be healthy, safe, and happy," said Angeline as she choked up. "Mommy," Baby Zetty cried out in grief.

"What on earth stirred you up like this, Baby Zetty?" Angeline could faintly feel that Baby Zetty was having thoughts of giving up on her life once more. "Mommy..." Baby Zetty looked at her guiltily. Ultimately, she could not help but ask after holding it in for quite some time.

"Is Brother Finn getting married?"

Angeline was dumbstruck by her question.

It turned out all of Baby Zetty's abnormalities today were related to her finding out about Finn's marriage.

Angeline was furious as she asked, "Who told you

this?"

Baby Zetty said with a bitter smile on her face, "I bumped into Sis Tammy at the mall today. She was choosing a wedding dress for herself."

Angeline closed her eyes in despair. She sighed as she said, "Why on earth did you run into her of all people?"

Then, she opened her eyes and explained to Baby Zetty, "Baby Zetty, did you know that to prevent news of Brother Finn's marriage from affecting you, Daddy had personally gone over and begged Finn to cancel his wedding? Moreover, since Brother Finn was also concerned about your health, he agreed to Daddy's request."

Angeline sighed. "But I never expected that after all of that, a mishap like this would happen. And the news was leaked to you by Tammy..."

As soon as Angeline said this, her expression suddenly became grim.

Chapter 1956

Chapter 1956

If they were not getting married, then why was Tammy choosing a wedding dress?

Angeline could only think of two possibilities for this. Firstly, since Tammy could not have a wedding, she felt at a loss and wanted to try on some wedding dresses alone to experience the joy of being a bride. If that were the case, then it would be such a tragic case for her.

However, there was the other possibility that Tammy had deliberately tried on wedding dresses in front of Baby Zetty to reveal the news of her marriage to Finn.

If this was indeed the case, then this woman might seem silly and sweet, but in reality, she was a shrewd and cunning woman. Of course, to accomplish such a task, she would have to ask around for Baby Zetty's whereabouts and familiarize herself with the routes she took after school...

Angeline was a good-natured person, so she refused to believe that Finn's taste would be that bad. As such, she convinced herself that Tammy was a nice girl.

She should not be suspicious of her.

Then, Baby Zetty asked her sorrowfully, "Mommy, does Brother Finn really like Sis Tammy?"

Angeline said, "It's one of Brother Finn's wishes to have a family of his own, so after meeting the right girl, he has no reason to give up on that dream. But as for whether or not what he's feeling is love, I'm afraid even Finn himself wouldn't be able to answer this question."

Baby Zetty's expression turned dark. "Then why couldn't he try accepting my love instead?"

"It's because you're still young, and Brother Finn is a man with moral limitations. He won't have feelings for underaged girls, and this is the gentlemen's way. Whether or not he truly likes you, I'm afraid we won' know until you're all grown up."

Baby Zetty nodded at her explanation.

Angeline kissed Baby Zetty on the cheek and said, "It's late, baby. Have a good rest."

"Good night, Mommy."

When Angeline returned to the bedroom, the wall lamps in the room were still on and Jay was sitting on the bed, reading a book to leisurely pass the time.

Seeing Angeline entering the room, he placed his book down to the side.

Angeline was looking a little listless as she walked straight to him. Then, she lifted the blanket and lay on the bed.

Jay asked in surprise, "You're not removing your makeup?"

"Don't feel like it," said Angeline weakly.

Jay stared at Angeline in a daze. He could sense how depressed she was, so Jay lay down as well and slowly stroked her face. Then, he asked in a pampered manner, "What's wrong now?"

Baby Zetty's lonesome and helpless face emerged inside Angeline's mind. Her words of asking Angeline to give birth to another younger sister were also lingering in her ears. Angeline abruptly said, "Jaybie, why don't we abort the baby?"

Jay was dumbstruck as he sat up in a panic. His handsome face turned entirely pale.

"I don't care what provoked you, Angeline, but I'll not agree to you getting rid of our child."

Angeline looked at him, and her eyes were wet with tears.

Jay pulled her up and placed her in his arms before gently soothing her. "Angeline, we'll face all of the difficulties together, and this is our child. Are you truly willing to get rid of it?"

Angeline shook her head while crying out, "I'm not."

Jay asked, "Then, can you tell Jaybie what on earth happened?"

Angeline sobbed and said, "I keep feeling that I have no energy to care about Baby Zetty's well-being because of this baby... I owe her too much. And the scariest part is that Baby Zetty is trying to entrust everything t

o her unborn little sibling."

Jay could feel his body getting invaded by icy currents.

Angeline pushed Jay away and said with a stern expression, "Tammy told Baby Zetty that she and Finn are getting married. I keep feeling like she has an ulterior motive for doing this."

Jay looked at Angeline who was being overly protective of her children and suddenly smiled softly.

"Angeline, girls always look forward to a grand wedding. Tammy merely wanted to share her joy with Baby Zetty, so it's inevitable for her to have lost her senses a little..."

Chapter 1957

Chapter 1957

Angeline indignantly retorted, "You're trying to justify Tammy Sue's actions."

"I'm not." Jay did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"You're trying to shove false information down my throat."

Jay,"..."

Angeline said in a huff, "I'm sleeping with Baby Zetty tonight."

Then, she pushed him away and got out of the bed to walk out.

Jay's long legs landed on the ground, and he caught up with Angeline in just a few steps. He quickly hugged Angeline tightly into his embrace and apologized in a low voice, "Don't be angry, okay? I'm not excusing Tammy's behavior, but I merely think that as parents, we shouldn't be meddling with the children's affairs."

Angeline was protective of them, so hearing Jay's words, not only did her anger remain, but he even made it worse.

She snarled at him. "What are you trying to say? Are you saying I'm meddling too much?"

Then, she jabbed Jay's chest in a rage while scoffing."

I didn't say anything about your lack of care toward our children, yet you mind that I care about them?"

It was Jay's first time experiencing Angeline's capricious hard-headedness, and it was as if whatever he said or did at the moment would not be able to satisfy her wishes.

Jay was baffled as he said, "Okay, okay. Don't be angry. You're still pregnant with a child, and being mad is not good for the baby. How about this? Jaybie will listen to all your instructions in the future. Whatever you say goes. Okay?"

He thought that his humbleness would be exchanged with Angeline's sympathy. Unexpectedly, Angeline was able to find a flaw in his words and fumingly said, "So you're only obedient to me because of the baby in my stomach? Are you saying if I weren't pregnant, you wouldn't listen to any of my words?"

Jay was dumbfounded.

He could not fathom the situation. Was Angeline perhaps emotionally irritable because of her pregnancy? Or perhaps mommies who were upholding their children's interest were usually akin to a hedgehog itself? In any case, Angeline's current demeanor was making him feel utterly at a loss.

Ultimately, he gave up preaching logic to Angeline and merely said in an immensely affectionate manner, "I love you, Angeline."

Then, he hugged her from behind and extended his hand to gently pinch her chin. His soft movements were finally able to calm Angeline down slowly.

She sighed sorrowfully. "Don't you know how much pain Baby Zetty must be in right now?"

Jay proceeded to murmur emotionally, "I do, Angeline. I often think that perhaps Baby Zetty loves Finn as deeply as I love you. If that's the case, then Baby Zetty's current tribulations are no different from the grief I felt when I had to say goodbye to you."

Angeline looked at him with hidden bitterness. "Then how can you willingly allow Zetty to live through her days so painfully?"

Jay replied, "There are some ordeals that you simply cannot escape from."

Angeline was somewhat curious as she asked, "Then how'd you escape your sufferings back then?" She felt that perhaps Baby Zetty could learn from Jay. Since Jay could walk out of that catastrophe unscathed, he certainly had a lot of experience in that area.

Jay's mind returned to the time when Angeline had gotten into that car accident, and his pupils abruptly shrunk from the stab of pain it brought him.

Angeline could feel that his whole body had started quivering and looked up to meet his gaze. By lucky coincidence, she was able to witness the gloomy shadow in his eyes.

Angeline felt shocked by this. He was merely recalling that period, yet he was able to feel this much pain?

She could not begin to imagine how he managed to spend his days all those years ago.

"I want to know, Jaybie." Angeline's voice became softer. All her anger and hostility had disappeared.

"I kept feeling like your spirit was still by my side, and I imagined that you were still with me every day... You were eating with me, sleeping with me, and going to work with me." Angeline stared at him blankly...

Jay laughed at himself mockingly. "I was quite certain that I had gone completely insane, but I wished that I would never return to normal."

Angeline felt utterly heartbroken for him and replied," I'm sorry it was so hard for you, Jaybie."

Chapter 1958

Chapter 1958

Jay said to her with great gratitude, "Thank you, Angeline. Thank you for coming back. Otherwise, I can't begin to imagine how many stupid things I would've done in my lifetime."

Angeline turned around and hugged him tightly.

"I won't ever leave you again, Jaybie."

Jay nodded gently. "Yeah, I know. I know that you won't leave me."

Angeline was even more melancholic when she said," Even a strong-willed person like you has done so many preposterous and foolish things for a love that you couldn't obtain, let alone our darling Baby Zetty."

Jay said, "Just wait, Angeline. A few years later, our Baby Zetty will break out of her cocoon and become a butterfly. She'll soon be reborn."

Angeline aggrievedly looked at him. Sometimes, she honestly wondered where Jay's confidence came from that he was so determined about Baby Zetty being able to find herself again instead of losing herself completely.

Jay continued, "She's our daughter. You have to have faith in her."

Angeline could only sigh weakly.

Then, Jay said, "It's getting late, Angeline. Let's get some rest. Tomorrow is the day Jenson will be taking over Ares Group. I'm afraid it'll be another exhausting day for you."

Being parents came with inexhaustible worries, after all.

Angeline was worried about Baby Zetty's emotional wounds, and she was also concerned about Jenson embarking on a path to unpeaceful and unstable life after taking over Ares Group.

Angeline sighed in a lonesome manner. "Why can't my children live happy and carefree lives like other ordinary children?"

Jay replied, "They were born into the Ares family.

They have riches and wealth that ordinary children don't possess. So naturally, they have to bear the hardships that come with the glory." Angeline understood the concept of interdependence between good and bad things, but she could not stop worrying about Jenson.

That night, Jenson had a hard time falling asleep as well.

He stood quietly in front of the French window, looking up at the beautiful yet incomplete crescent moon in the sky.

Jenson knew that he needed to be cautious every second from now on because there would be others waiting to go after him. Sure enough, when it was the dead of night...

Jenson saw a figure hurrying over right downstairs. Then, he smiled maliciously and jumped out of the window with a rope.

In a blink of an eye, Jenson arrived right in front of the dark figure.

"Why is my favorite Grandpa Jacob inside Chateau de Selene in the middle of the night? What are your intentions?" Jenson's voice was cold.

Jacob was so enraged when he saw Jenson and glared at him fumingly, asking, "You came right on time, Jenson. You're exactly who I'm looking for. Unfortunately, at this moment, assassins are infiltrating the other castles, so I'd like to know what's going on."

Jenson pretended to be surprised. "Oh no, Grandpa Jacob. Then I think you should be asking yourself, what kind of shameful deeds have you done recently?"

A sense of panic flashed across Jacob's eyes, but he quickly recovered his calmness. "You're about to become the person in charge of the entire Ares family, so you're not going to care about the other branches' matters anymore?"

Jenson said, "I remember now. When I was in the mall shopping this afternoon, I stumbled into some assassins as well. But those dunces were too stupid, so I easily caught one of them."

Then, Jenson cast him a hostile glance and grimly said, "I told him that if he wanted to survive, he has to make a move against those instigators behind the scenes who sent those assassins to me and do the same to all their children and grandchildren. Those people wanted to cripple me, so I'm merely retaliating. I think it's what they call scaring your opponents into hiding?"

Jacob swallowed his saliva. He finally understood that they were the cause of the disaster that befell them tonight.

They had shot themselves in the foot from trying to shoot a rock. Moreover, they had only wanted Jenson to suffer a slight disability, yet they never expected Jenson's retaliation to be so cruel.

Chapter 1959

Chapter 1959

He was going as far as to harm their children and grandchildren.

"Jens, the Ares family is charitable. Even if someone plotted something against the Areses, at best, we should deal with them following the principle of an eye for an eye. Taking revenge on their entire family is too cruel."

Jenson stared at Jacob coldly and said, "Grandpa Jacob, don't you know that if you don't pluck the weed from its root, it'll certainly grow back?"

After saying his piece, Jenson decided to take his leave.

Jacob panicked and immediately staggered forward. He pleaded with him anxiously, "Jens, if anything unfortunate were to happen to the other branches tonight, do you think you can attend the Ares family's inheritance ceremony tomorrow in a calm and composed manner? I'm telling you, if you don't save them today, your morality and conduct will be tainted. You won't be able to convince the masses with your words once you're the person in charge of the Ares family."

Jenson stopped and turned his head to look at Jacob, appearing calm and collected as always.

"Do you think I wanted to be the Ares family's heir?"

Jacob swallowed his saliva again. He never expected that Jenson would be so indifferent toward vanity at such a young age. Unfortunately, his indifferent state of mind toward all aspects of life had made it impossible for them to grasp his shortcomings.

Jenson stepped closer to him again, and his voice became even colder when he said, "Also, even if something happens to the other family branches tonight, do you think they'll speak up about it? They'll merely quietly hide their missing fingertips.

Otherwise, I'll find out who were the murderers who planned to have me killed."

Jacob trembled and immediately fell to the ground.

Jenson squatted down and stared at Jacob while saying, "What's the matter with you, Grandpa Jacob?"

Jacob tried to calm his mind before looking up. Then, he pleaded with Jenson, "Jens, all of the Ares family members from the other branches are people with capabilities as well. But your great-grandpa made you the successor, so they're surely somewhat sullen about it. They merely didn't want you to become the next heir and didn't plan on harming you. Is there a need for you to get rid of every last one of them? Rest assured, I'll certainly help you find out who was the one plotting to harm you behind your back and have them give you an explanation."

Jenson gave it a thought and said, "Since Grandpa is begging me so sincerely, then there's no reason for a junior like me to be disrespectful. Okay then, I'll follow you and we'll go take a look." Jacob's eyes immediately flashed with a cunning light.

Meanwhile, Jenson could see his sly expression from the corner of his eyes. A sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.

Jacob walked ahead to lead the way while Jenson was waving his hand toward the person hiding behind him in the dark. A few dark shadows were flashing on the surface of his wristwatch. Jacob took Jenson to the third Ares branch family's house which was also James' house in Rose Garden. At this moment, a group of assassins wearing black masks were in the courtyard with all of James' family members tied up. They all had blades in their hands, but they were barely budging.

When Jenson walked in, he said in a cold tone," Hmm? So you guys were waiting for me to come to begin the show?"

When the assassins saw Jenson, they immediately surrounded both Jacob and Jenson.

Jacob pretended to panic. "What are you people doing? Jens, quick, think of a way to get rid of them."

Jenson was not at all in a hurry and scoffed. "Grandpa Jacob, weren't you just trying to lure me out here with your acting so they could get me instead?"

Jacob pretended to be righteous and said, "What are you saying, Jens? Grandpa's a victim as well."

Jenson replied, "Oh, is that so? Since that's the case, then let's wait for them to cut off your finger first."

The assassin said, "Stop talking nonsense. We'll cut yours first." Then, he lifted the sharp blade and waved it toward Jenson.

It was a battle between a dozen assassins and Jenson.

Jenson was getting somewhat tired of dealing with all of them.

Then, Jacob hid at the side, and one of the assassins went over to pretend to seize him.

Jacob and James were shedding crocodile tears as they pretended to cheer Jenson on, "You must be careful, Jens! You can't get disabled because of them as you know very well an Ares heir cannot have any disability."

Jenson spat out the words, "I think both you grandpas should take care of yourselves."

Jacob and James glanced and smiled at each other. They were both ecstatic about their perfectly executed plan.

However, the situation began to take a turn.

One of the assassins suddenly began to turn on them and dashed toward Jacob. A blade was lifted into the air and slashed down, making Jacob's fingertips fall to the ground with blood oozing out of it. "Ahhh!" A terrifying shriek instantly sounded from Rose Manor.

James' facial expression turned horrified at the scene. "Why is this happening?"

Jenson scoffed. "Hmph. Grandpa Jacob, perhaps you didn't anticipate this. But you've neglected a greater danger when you were pursuing something feudal."

Chapter 1960

James looked at Jenson with a horrified look, and his eyes were filled with questions and doubts. Jacob was already severely distressed, and he was about to lose his voice from shouting. "How did this

happen?!"

It was evident for Jacob and James at this moment that Jenson had instigated their men to turn on them. It was just that they felt exceptionally startled by the turn of events. How did Jenson do it? When did he gain the opportunity to instigate their unswerving assassins in such a short period?

They started to think that Jenson was genuinely terrifying.

At this moment, Baby Robbie and the military intelligence division sisters arrived at the scene.

Baby Robbie shouted before he even approached them, "Get them!"

The arrival of Baby Robbie made James and Jacob feel a little cautious. They were afraid of Baby Robbie catching the assassins as they were likely to confess under torture or temptations of fame and fortune. Hence, they wanted the assassins to quickly escape.

As for Jenson, his eyes appeared dark and gloomy. He cast a secretive glance at the assassin who had hurt

Jacob, and the guy immediately turned around to jump above the high wall.

The other assassins fled along with him.

By the time Baby Bobbie appeared, all the assassins had vanished into thin air. "Where are the assassins?" Baby Robbie asked when he saw the empty courtyard. Jenson mocked him, "Did you think you'd get them with that snail-like pace of yours?" Baby Robbie checked Jenson's whole body and said," It's fine as long as you're safe."

Then, Jenson walked toward Jacob and asked, "How's your injury?"

The fingertips of Jacob's left hand had been sliced off, and he was in so much pain that his whole body was quivering.

Jenson looked at his missing fingers, and his eyes turned gloomy at the sight.

Harming others would only ultimately harm oneself!

"Someone take Second Old Master to the hospital," Jenson said somewhat calmly, "It seems like Grandpa Jacob won't be able to attend my inheritance ceremony tomorrow."

Jacob appeared utterly distressed upon hearing this. The inheritance ceremony was always related to the distribution of benefits for each family branch. If he failed to show up, the second family branch would lose its chance to speak up.

"It's just a minor injury," said Jacob.

Then, Jenson said, "Don't you want your fingers anymore, Grandpa Jacob? If you head to the hospital now, perhaps they'll be able to salvage them."

Jacob instantly became very hesitant.

If he wanted to keep his fingers, then he could not participate in tomorrow's inheritance ceremony.

If he planned on attending, then he had to delay the surgery of reattaching his fingertips.

After weighing all the pros and cons again and again, Jacob toughened his tone. He bargained with Jenson, saying, "Jens, if I can't participate in tomorrow's inheritance ceremony, how do you plan on allocating the benefits for each of the family's branches?"

Jenson replied, "I'm tired, so I'm heading back to rest."

After saying this, he walked out of the garden.

Jacob was so enraged that he started stomping on his feet.

Then, Jenson's voice could be heard saying, "Grandpa Jacob, even if I give you mountains of gold, you'd have to feel blessed to be able to enjoy it."

One sentence from him was able to choke Jacob up into feeling mournful.

After Jenson and Baby Robbie left, James and Jacob

began to whisper.

"What on earth happened, Jacob? Why did the assassins we hired injure you instead?" James was immensely puzzled.

Jacob looked at Jenson's back view, and his eyes seemingly ignited with a burst of fire.

"He's the devil himself. He must've instigated our men to turn their backs on us at a critical time like this.
