Ch. 1981..1990

Chapter 1981

Jay turned his sharp gaze to Spencer's face. Spencer shuddered and had a sudden premonition. "JJ, why... Why are you looking at me like that?" "Uncle Spencer, I want you to find a way to take Sandra home," Jay said.

Spencer shook his head vigorously. "Are you trying to kill me? I've finally reunited with your aunt and promised her to cut off all ties with other women.

She's definitely going to ignore me forever if I don't keep my word."

Jay said, "Don't worry, I'll explain it to Aunt Crystal after that."

Spencer continued to shake his head. "No way, no way."

Though when he noticed Jay's firm and resolute gaze as well as his unstirred expression, Spencer knew that it was useless to fight.

Spencer said rather helplessly, "Have pity on me, JJ. I've lived half of my life and am finally experiencing love again, so how can you bring yourself to end my relationship?"

"Uncle, just help me this one time. I'll return the favor next time," Jay promised.

Spencer suddenly realized the severity of the situation. Jay would never beg someone for help, and seeing how he had stooped to begging him for help now made him realize that this was a situation that Jay could not easily deal with.

"Why do you want me to take Sandra home?" Spencer asked curiously.

Jay replied, "To attract the snake from its nest."

Spencer put the interests of others above his own and agreed reluctantly.

"Alright then."

Spencer studied Jay's solemn expression and then glanced at Judy's body before coming to a sudden realization. "Judy's death has something to do with the Areses?"

Jay explained, "I suspect that someone wanted to use them as tools by secretly releasing them."

Spencer said, "The Ares family's mistresses and children have just moved in for a day and there's already disharmony in the family. Now I know why you're resorting to every possible means to drive us out of the Ares family."

Jay let out a wry smile. "This must seem like a joke to you."

Spencer only reminded him, "Be careful." "Mm." When Jay and Spencer walked over to Judy's coffin, Jay hinted at Spencer with his eyes. Spencer mustered up his courage and stepped forward. "Sandra, the dead won't rise from the grave. I'm so sorry for your loss." Spencer reached out to hold Sandra.

Sandra looked slightly incredulous and surprised when Spencer took the initiative to approach her. After all, Spencer had been ignoring her for a very long time after the previous incident.

Sandra held Spencer's hand and wept emotionally. "I knew it. I knew you couldn't bring yourself to leave me behind, Old Master Spencer."

Spencer withdrew his hand and patted Sandra's shoulder, comforting her. "Cheer up. I've thought about it and maybe you should come home with me when we're done sending Judy off." Sandra nodded excitedly. "Mm."

Their interaction looked so much like a scene of old flames being rekindled and it left everyone completely stupefied.

Mrs. Yorks was especially nonplussed by it.

She looked incredulously at Spencer, and from the weary look on her face, she seemed to have taken a hard hit. Then, she broke down.

Mrs. Yorks shuddered, looking as though she was about to fall to the ground at any time. Angeline quickly supported her and glanced meaningfully at Jay.

Jay gave her a stare that could only be sensed but not explained, saying, "Take Aunt Crystal out to get some fresh air, Angelina."

Angelina took the hint and said, "Okay."

Chapter 1982

Chapter 1982

Angeline walked out of the funeral parlor with the heavy-hearted Mrs. Yorks. Feeling both embarrassed and furious, she gritted her teeth and snarled. "I lived to this age for nothing. I can't believe I was fooled by Spencer's honeyed words and actually believed his nonsense... I must be blind..."

Feeling uneasy, Angeline said, "I think Jaybie was the one who ordered Uncle Spencer to do this."

Mrs. Yorks was startled. "Why would he do that?"

Angeline replied, "Someone from Fragrant Vessel Court died as soon as the Ares family's mistresses and children moved into Tourmaline Estate. Jay is an extremely meticulous person. He must have noticed the unusual cause behind the car accident. Therefore, he wants to send Sandra home to look for a clue."

After a pause, Angeline said with a firm and determined gaze, "Aunt Crystal, why don't you work with Jaybie to outwit the culprit with their own trick by pretending like you're running away from home in a fit of pique? If you can fool Sandra, I believe she'll unmask her true nature very quickly."

Mrs. Yorks had always had faith in Jay's noble character, hence she would gladly cooperate with Jay.

However, Mrs. Yorks felt guilty and ashamed when she recalled her lack of faith in Spencer and how she nearly misunderstood him.

In comparison, Angeline would give Jay her complete trust even without an explanation. She could analyze his behavior and words to find out what he was thinking about. The understanding that Angeline had for Jay was a tacit one.

"You can always read Jay's mind." Mrs. Yorks sighed.

Angeline said, "Aunt Crystal, I'll ask Grayson to send you to a safe place."

"Mm."

After Angeline summoned Grayson and said a few things to him in a low voice, Mrs. Yorks got into his car and left.

When Angeline returned to the funeral parlor, Spencer's legs had turned to jelly when he did not see Mrs. Yorks. He asked in a quivering tone, "Where's Aunt Crystal, Angeline?"

Angeline pretended to be mad and stood up for Mrs. Yorks, saying, "Aunt Crystal wants me to tell you that since you've so insatiably and so unfaithfully ruined your vows, she has no reason to stay by your side anymore."

Spencer nearly fell to the floor butt first when he heard what she said.

Sandra supported him and said, "Old Master Spencer."

At this moment, the funeral parlor workers walked over and said to them, "It's time for the cremation." Sandra burst into tears. "Oh Judy, why did you leave by yourself and leave me here all alone?"

Angeline's eyes turned pink. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced back the tears.

Angeline had always been a woman with a gentle disposition and a pure heart. Partings and reunions were especially difficult for her to go through. She would even be moved to tears out of sympathy when watching a TV series. Amid Sandra's ear-piercing and hysterical cries, her cheeks were streaming with tears.

When Jay noticed Angeline's sorrow, he went to her side and comforted her. "I'll bring you out, Angeline."

Angeline said, "I want to say goodbye."

"If that's the case, don't cry."

Angeline cried even harder.

Jay lifted her up and carried her away domineeringly.

"Put me down, Jaybie. What are you doing? We couldn't be friends when she was alive, but I should at least say goodbye now that she's dead. We were once acquainted, after all."

"I will not allow you to cry for her," Jay ordered in a domineering tone and put Angeline down.

"If you're not going to think for yourself, you should at least think for the child in your belly," Jay said.

Angeline watched as Cole, Grand Old Master Yorks, and the rest walked out... She knew that it was useless to continue debating because Judy had completed her final journey. "Forget it," Angeline said.

As everyone else was caught up in bidding farewell to Judy, Jay's mind had wandered elsewhere.

Chapter 1983

Chapter 1983

"Angeline, I think we need to take Grandma Boye and Baby Zetty away as soon as possible," he whispered.

Angeline could sense the urgency in his voice.

"Okay. We'll do as you say."

Jay looked at Angeline. Perhaps Angeline would only act up when it involved the trivial things in life, but during crucial moments, she would still choose to trust him no matter what. This dispelled his worries, making him feel at ease.

Jay returned to Chateau de Selene and came straight to Jenson. They both had a private discussion for a very long time.

"Have you found the culprit who released Sandra and Judy, Jens?"

Before going to the funeral parlor, Jay realized that Sandra and Judy had escaped at an odd timing, hence he ordered Jenson to go to Fragrant Vessel Court to find the culprit who released Judy and Sandra. Jenson said, "I checked all the surveillance footage and found that one of the surveillance cameras in Fragrant Vessel Court was broken. It's located at Fragrant Vessel Court's secret exit, which I think was where Sandra and Judy escaped from."

Jay was slightly stunned. "The front door's security devices weren't damaged?"

"No."

"Did the surveillance footage pick up any suspicious person entering Fragrant Vessel Court?"

Jenson shook his head.

Jay was a little stunned. His expression chilled and sank. "If that's the case, the person who released Judy and Sandra is someone from Fragrant Vessel Court?"

Jenson nodded. "This is the only plausible explanation."

Jay asked curiously, "I asked Spencer. He said that he didn't release Sandra and Judy."

Jenson asked, "Could it be Chloe?"

Jay was petrified.

He willed himself not to accept the answer.

Jenson said, "I've always wondered why it was so easy for Mommy to persuade her when she used to be so wicked and did so many terrible things. She also had a n extremely stubborn and suspicious character."

All color drained from Jay's dashing face.

If Chloe ever betrayed him again, he had no idea how he was going to confront his mother.

He would have no choice but to kill Chloe then.

"Jens, what you're doing is called routine analysis. But don't forget that she's my mother and your grandmother. The love that a mother has for her children is great and profound. Maybe she has really turned over a new leaf for my sake?"

Jenson said, "This is a grave situation, Daddy. We can't rule out the possibility of her involvement."

"I know."

"Keep investigating. I want everyone in Fragrant Vessel Court to be investigated regardless if they're a master of a servant."

"Mm."

That afternoon, Angeline and Jay sent Baby Zetty to Carefree Garden.

In order to avoid attracting attention, Jay hid the fact that Baby Zetty was about to leave.

There would be no sorrow that came with farewell.

Sitting in the Rolls-Royce, Angeline could not stop feeling heavy-hearted, and her eyes turned crimson.

Baby Zetty noticed how cheerless her mother was and quickly comforted her. "What's wrong, Mommy?"

Angeline looked up with a pair of tearful eyes and stared at Baby Zetty with an adoring gaze before she began weeping.

"Baby Zetty, Great-grandma Boye will leave Imperial Capital for some time, and since you're Grandma

Boye's last disciple, you will need to leave Imperial

Capital with her..."

Chapter 1984

Chapter 1984

Baby Zetty was first stunned before she smiled and comforted her mother, saying, "Cheer up, Mommy, it's not exactly a bad thing for me to leave Imperial Capital, actually."

Angeline thought that the weak and delicate Baby Zetty would cry her heart out when she learned that she was leaving. She did not expect Baby Zetty to accept the arrangement readily and that made her feel extremely surprised.

Baby Zetty turned around and looked out the car window, staring at the passing view of Imperial Capital with a heavy heart. She muttered the words in her heart, "Goodbye, Imperial Capital. Goodbye, Brother Finn."

"Don't you feel sad, Baby Zetty?" Angeline asked.

Baby Zetty sounded extremely indifferent. "Yes, I feel sad to leave you, Daddy, and my brothers and sisters, but leaving Imperial Capital means that I don't have to rack my brain every day to ask others about what Brother Finn is doing or to think of ways to steal a glance at him from afar... I can finally free myself from this torture and pain."

After a long pause, Baby Zetty said gloomily, "I think only by leaving Imperial Capital would I be able to

heal from the wounds of my heartbreak."

Angeline did not know if she should be happy or worried.

The pain that Finn had given Baby Zetty was so deep.

Angeline gathered herself together and said, "You must be good and listen to your great-grandmother. Put more effort into learning medicine from her. If anything upsets you, don't forget to give me a call." Baby Zetty nodded. "Mm."

Jay sat in the front with a dark and profound gaze, his heart laden with worries.

When the Rolls-Royce arrived at Carefree Garden, Grandma Boye hopped out in delight.

Upon seeing Baby Zetty, surprise flowed out of Grandma Boye's eyes.

Baby Zetty was extremely chubby the last time they met. Her facial features had swollen up like a balloon while her figure was round and bulky. She was extremely disappointed back then because the heir she picked was ruined by a binge eating disorder.

She had even said to her husband in great disappointment, "Looks like there's no need to pass on my medical secrets to Baby Zetty anymore. How can a child who can barely manage her own body weight work hard or endure hardships?"

Learning medicine with them would be an arduous journey. They had endless experiments to do every day and too many dead bodies waiting to be studied.

When she looked at Baby Zetty now, she noticed that she had gone back to her healthy weight with only a bit of baby fat now, looking as adorable and gorgeous a s she was before.

Boye was beyond amazed. "How did you lose weight, Baby Zetty?"

Baby Zetty said shyly, "I went on a diet."

Boye was greatly surprised.

Of all the different ways to lose weight, going on a diet was definitely the most challenging one in terms of perseverance. What was more, Baby Zetty had a binge eating disorder, hence one could imagine how difficult it must have been for her to lose weight by dieting.

Grandma Boye was over the moon and thought that she had picked up a precious gem. With her painstaking and arduous polishing, Baby Zetty would no doubt shine bright like a diamond.

"I have something to say to you, Grandma," Jay said.

Boye led Jay into the house.

They both talked in private for two hours before coming out again.

Baby Zetty would glance at the tightly shut door upstairs from time to time with a hint of guilt flowing out of her eyes.

Daddy must be worried about her, and that was why he was giving so many instructions to Great-grandma, right?

When Jay and Grandma Boye walked out, Baby Zetty noticed that the smile in Grandma Boye's eyes had vanished and was now replaced by solemnity.

Jay walked up to Baby Zetty and opened his arms, saying in a pampering voice, "Give Daddy a hug."

Baby Zetty hugged Daddy tightly.

Jay patted Baby Zetty's head adoringly and reminded her with a tender voice, "Remember, Baby Zetty, you're the apple of Daddy and Mommy's eye. No one has the right to harm our baby. Not Finn, not yourself."

Baby Zetty shed tears of repentance and said, "Don't worry, Daddy. I'll love myself from now on and will not do anything to harm myself anymore."

"Baby Zetty, you must remember that you're Jay Ares and Angeline Severe's daughter."

Chapter 1985

Chapter 1985

Baby Zetty was slightly stunned. Daddy's exhortations sounded extremely profound to her. It was as though his words carried a lot of weight. "Mm." She nodded obediently.

Jay finally eased up his taut expression and smiled at Baby Zetty. "Daddy and Mommy believe that you'll break out of your cocoon and grow into a beautiful butterfly."

Baby Zetty was stunned once more...

This was the first time she had ever felt Daddy's expectations for her and sensed the hopes he was placing on her. She thought Daddy had long given up on her because she was not as outstanding and talented as her brothers.

It turned out that she had failed Daddy and let him down after he placed his hopes on her.

"Mm." Baby Zetty nodded solemnly.

Upon Jay and Angeline's return to Chateau de Selene, the children began questioning their parents curiously when they did not see Baby Zetty.

"Where's Sis Zetty?"

Angeline forcibly sealed the pain and sorrow of

separation in her heart to say to the children with a smile, "Great-grandmother needs her to stay over for a few days to heal her broken heart."

"Wow, she can cure broken hearts too?" the children exclaimed.

Angeline blurted out without thinking, "That's the subject of Great-grandma's new research."

"Oh."

Innocent children might be easy to deceive, but Jenson was scrutinizing his parents without a word. From the gloom lingering on their faces, he could tell that something was off.

A questioning look exuded from the depths of Jenson's eyes.

Jay seemed to be in a bad mood as he returned to the study without a word.

At this moment, Finn arrived at Chateau de Selene and reported to Jenson, "Sir, it's done."

Jenson replied, "We'll leave at once." He walked out the door after saying those words.

Baby Robbie tossed the apple in his hands that had been bitten in half and said excitedly, "I'll go and join in the fun too."

Sis Andy looked at the half-eaten apple lying in the trash can and ordered Baby Robbie sternly, "Pick it up and eat it!"

Baby Robbie responded with a cheeky grin. "Sis Andy, I don't-"

"I'll tell Daddy that you're wasting food, then?"

Baby Robbie's smile froze on his face before he helplessly picked out the apple from the trash can and bolted outside.

After catching up to Jenson, Baby Robbie handed the apple to him. "Want a bite?"

He very slyly exposed the good part of the apple.

Jenson took it subconsciously and realized that Baby Robbie had already taken a bite of it. He frowned slightly but still picked it up and bit on it.

"You look so cool when you eat an apple, Jens."

Jens rolled his eyes at him. "Can I make a living by being cool?" Jenson asked.

Suddenly realizing that Baby Robbie was bootlicking for no reason, Jenson stuffed the apple into Baby Robbie's mouth.

Baby Robbie spat it out immediately.

He then chuckled at Jenson. "It fell into the trash can but Sis Andy, that she-tiger, insisted that I eat it."

Jenson was so sickened that he felt the urge to vomit.

Afraid that Jenson would settle scores with him, Baby Robbie quickly changed the subject. "Of course, you can make a living by being cool. I heard about a type of charm technique. Natural Charm, they call it. One glance and the opposite sex will become fully limp. Say, if I cultivate Natural Charm, don't you think it'll be really convenient and easy when I encounter a formidable opponent in the future?"

Jenson stared at him with a startled and puzzled expression. He thought that Baby Robbie would lose himself in indulging in the life of luxury after returning to Imperial Capital. He was surprised to know that he still remembered his mission.

"Can you learn something proper?" Jenson said.

Baby Robbie responded, "All roads lead to Rome. Take, for example, you Jens, love to bully others with your wit, whereas I like to trap my enemy with my charm."

Jenson said, "Okay then. I'll leave the interrogation to you later."

Baby Robbie nodded. "Sure. I love to interrogate my enemies the most. Who are we interrogating, though?"

Chapter 1986

Chapter 1986

When Jenson brought Baby Robbie to Grand Old Master Yorks, Baby Robbie was immediately stumped.

Jenson made a 'go ahead' gesture to his little brother." Go on then, use your charm."

Baby Robbie then scrunched up his face as though he was having constipation. How could he possibly use his charm on an old man, one that was even his greatgrandfather? "What am I supposed to ask him about?" Baby Robbie asked.

Jenson whispered a few things to him, and Baby Robbie walked up to Grand Old Master Yorks.

"It's been a while, Great-grandpa. You're getting more and more sprightly."

Grand Old Master Yorks let out a hearty laugh." Hahaha, you brat. I'm sure you wouldn't be visiting me for no reason. Spit it out then, what's your reason for visiting?"

Baby Robbie winked at Grand Old Master Yorks and said in a spoiled manner, "Great-grandpa, we're here especially to visit you, and... while we're at it, can we also know who were there in Fragrant Vessel Court the day Sandra and Judy escaped?"

Grand Old Master Yorks counted with his fingers. "Me, Spencer, Spencer's wife, Jordan, Chloe, and a servant."

Baby Robbie asked nonchalantly, "Huh? Why wasn't Uncle Cole at home?"

"He had gone out with Carson early in the morning."

"Oh." Baby Robbie's interrogation came to an abrupt end.

Grand Old Master Yorks was puzzled. "That's all?"

Baby Robbie thought about it and added, "Among the ones in Fragrant Vessel Court that day, did anyone leave at noon? Even if it was just for half an hour?"

Grand Old Master Yorks began to recall, then as though he had thought of something, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

Baby Robbie noticed his fingers trembling a little because he was flustered. However, Grand Old Master Yorks recollected himself very quickly.

Without waiting for him to answer, Baby Robbie continued asking, "Who were you with at that time?"

Grand Old Master Yorks blurted out, "Spencer and his wife."

Baby Robbie snapped his fingers. "I got it now."

"What do you know?"

"Either Chloe, Jordan, or the servant was the one who released Sandra and Judy."

Grand Old Master Yorks said, "Chloe and Jordan would never do that."

Baby Robbie said, "We only trust the evidence, Greatgrandpa."

Baby Robbie ended the interrogation and said to Jenson, "Take me to Chloe."

Jenson nodded.

They came to Chloe's room, and when she saw the children, there was a look of unease on her face.

"You're here, huh?"

Jenson said, "You seem to be expecting us."

Chloe nodded.

Baby Robbie questioned her without warning, "So you're really the one who released Sandra and Judy?"

Chloe put on a troubled look. "Actually, I don't know if I was the one who released them. But I knew you'd suspect me as I have the strongest motive to do so in Fragrant Vessel Court." Jenson and Baby Robbie sat down next to Chloe.

Jenson said in a cold and deep voice, "Don't worry, we will only look at the evidence and will not jump to an unfounded conclusion."

Chloe's features eased up slightly.

Jenson asked again, "You said that you don't know if you were the one who released Sandra and Judy.

What did you mean by that?"

Chloe tried her best to think back on her itinerary that afternoon, only to realize that she could not recall anything. She shook her head painfully and weakly.

She said to Jenson and Baby Robbie, "To be honest with you, I think I lost two hours of my memory. I think someone gave me drugs to control my mental state and made me do something that I shouldn't have done."

Chapter 1987

Chapter 1987

Jenson and Baby Robbie exchanged glances with each other with a startled look on their faces.

Chloe looked at them and laughed helplessly. "I know you won't believe me no matter what I say. Go on then, how do you plan to punish me?"

Jenson said, "I'm certain that you released Sandra and Judy, but I don't currently have evidence on whether you did it intentionally or if you were controlled by someone. Therefore, Grandma, we will probably need your help."

Chloe looked at the upright and plainspoken Jenson, calmly accepting his arrangements. "What would you like me to do? I'll give you my full cooperation."

Upon walking out of the Yorks' villa, Jenson and Baby Robbie began chatting casually.

Baby Robbie said, "I think only Yorks Stronghold has psychotropic drugs like that.

"From what I know at the moment, Chloe is the greatest suspect for releasing Sandra and Judy."

Clues had led them to believe that Sandra and Judy's escape was done by someone from Yorks Stronghold.

Jenson furrowed his charming brows. "I have a feeling that something is off."

Baby Robbie said something spot-on, "Time. Why didn't Sandra and Judy escape earlier? Why did they wait until the Ares family's mistresses and children moved into Tourmaline Estate?"

Jenson nodded. "If it's true that the Ares family's mistresses and children were the ones who did it, the culprit would use Chloe's past grudges with us to make an issue out of it. This person is someone who has experience scheming and plotting. We must be careful."

"Who could this person be?"

Standing next to them, Finn answered, "Perhaps we've overcomplicated things, or perhaps you refuse to believe the investigation result that has been laid out before your eyes. From what I can see, Chloe was the one who released Sandra and Judy. She hasn't turned over a new leaf at all. She was only putting on a show for us to see when she claimed to have repented. Maybe she even released Sandra and Judy deliberately? They were a team back then, after all."

Jenson and Baby Robbie exchanged glances with each other, both looking equally solemn.

If Chloe was really the one who did it, how heartbroken would Mommy be? Daddy would fly into a thunderous rage too, right?

Jenson and Baby Robbie did not wish for this to happen, therefore they must investigate this matter with great caution.

When they were about to arrive at Tourmaline Estate, Jenson suddenly said to Finn, "Finn, Baby Zetty is leaving Imperial Capital." Finn was petrified as though he had heard a piece of devastating news.

"Why?"

"Although my sister didn't say anything, we can see that it has been really hard for her these days. She's living in pain. Her body can barely take the rapid weight gain and dieting. My parents are probably worried about her, that's why they sent her out of Imperial Capital for treatment."

Finn's fingers were clenched tightly together, his fingernails digging into his flesh. Blood was seeping out of his wounds. Even so, he felt no pain.

At this moment, he was overwhelmed by the thought of Baby Zetty's agony. It was as though he could feel Baby Zetty's bone-etching agony coursing through every fiber of his body. It was as if he was in a stormy sea where he was drowning amidst the waves.

"When's her flight?" His weak and faint voice seemed to carry no weight.

"I don't know. You can go and check it out yourself."

As soon as Jenson said those words, Finn bolted off like a madman.

Jenson watched Finn as he tottered clumsily and muttered, "That's all I can do to help you, Baby Zetty."

After turning around, he saw Baby Robbie staring at him as though he had been put under a spell.

Baby Robbie asked dejectedly, "How long will Baby Zetty be gone for?"

Jenson replied, "I don't know."

Baby Robbie's tears began flowing out of his eyes." Why didn't Daddy and Mommy ask us to send her off?" "Look at your tearful face. Do you think Baby Zetty would want to leave when she sees you like that? After she leaves, I'm afraid she'll cry at night when she recalls your tearful face."

Baby Robbie wiped his tears away. "I can send her off with a smile."

Jenson ordered, "Show me a smile at once."

Baby Robbie squeezed out a smile.

Jenson ridiculed, "You look better when you cry."

Baby Zetty, Grandma Boye, and the old man left Tourmaline Estate at night, rushing to the airport.

Baby Zetty, who was unperturbed at first, could not stop herself from looking back to search for something when she arrived at the airport and was waiting to check in with her boarding pass.

Chapter 1988

Chapter 1988

Boye sighed. "Stop looking, child. They're not coming anymore. They don't want to make you even gloomier than you already are." Baby Zetty nodded, accepting her fate.

When she entered the hoarding gate, she heard an anxious voice letting out an ear-piercing roar. It was a s though a lion had awakened from a deep slumber that had lasted for thousands of years. "Baby Zetty!"

Baby Zetty turned around and saw Brother Finn holding his coat. He was clad in a plain and clean T-shirt, searching everywhere for her.

When Finn finally located Baby Zetty from the crowd, he stood rooted to the same spot as though he had been struck by an electric current. He stared at Baby Zetty who had a tearful face. "Don't cry, Zetty." Finn's charming face was contorted out of grief.

There was a huge distance between them, and the hubbub in the airport made it hard for Baby Zetty to hear what Finn was saying,

This was the first time Finn so vividly sensed Baby Zetty's pain-the pain he had inflicted upon her.

Finn slapped himself hard across the face.

Baby Zetty burst into tears.

"I don't blame you, Brother Finn. I don't blame you at all."

An endless stream of people.

The flight announcements played like a loop in the airport.

Finn felt a stabbing pain in his heart when he saw Baby Zetty crying her heart out.

He lifted his hands without warning and began making gestures in front of his chest. He was doing sign language.

When Baby Zetty saw it, she cried even harder.

"Why are you doing this, Brother Finn?

"Why?"

Finn, however, looked determined. This was his promise to Baby Zetty. This was their agreement.

He thought this was probably the best way to lessen Baby Zetty's pain.

Boye and the old man checked their wrist watches and urged Baby Zetty, saying, "It's time to go, child."

Baby Zetty waved at Finn and left but still constantly turned back to take a look.

As though his soul had been sucked out of him, Finn stood rooted to the ground in a daze.

Finn did not remember how he got home. Baby Zetty's heartbreaking cries played in his head on his way home. He was immersed in guilt, and his concern for Baby Zetty weighed like several mountains. It bore down on him to the point where he struggled to breathe.

Baby Zetty was gone, and she brought the love she had for him away.

It felt as though she had brought Finn's happiness away as well.

When Finn entered the house, Tammy came forward and asked with unconcealable excitement in her voice, "Grayson and the rest said that Baby Zetty has left Imperial Capital?"

Finn nodded listlessly.

"Can we have our wedding now, then?" Tammy's eyes glinted with anticipation.

Finn shook his head apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Tammy. The wedding can't go on for now."

Tammy widened her eyes in shock and cried out agitatedly, "Why?"

Finn said, "I promised Baby Zetty to let her make the decisions regarding my marriage."

Tammy said, "So you're saying that you need to get her permission no matter who you date or who you marry?"

Finn nodded. "Yes."

Chapter 1989

Chapter 1989

Tammy flew into a rage. "Are you crazy? This is your wedding. Why are you letting Baby Zetty make the decisions for you? Has it never crossed your mind how unfair this is to me?"

Finn said, "You probably don't know this, but Baby Zetty saved my life. My life was hanging by a thread back then from getting injured by the Yorks at Yorks Stronghold. I thought I would die right then and there but Baby Zetty carried me to the hospital with her tiny and delicate frame.

"I'm an orphan and have no siblings, but my foster father treats me as his own while Baby Zetty treats me with all her heart. For so many years, I've treated them as my closest and most reliable family members. I can let anyone down but not the Areses."

Finn sounded extremely firm and sonorous, his words carrying a crushing force.

Tammy was slightly startled, suddenly realizing how foolish it was of her to compete with the Areses for his favor.

"If Baby Zetty says that you're not allowed to marry m e, are you going to give up on me, then?" Tammy was in tears.

Finn explained, "Baby Zetty won't do that. She'll let me do what I intend to do because why would she make such a tough decision of leaving her beloved parents behind to seek treatment for her broken heart otherwise?"

Finn felt a pang in his heart at this point.

"The reason why I'm letting her make the decisions about my marriage is that I hope she will stop being in so much pain, that she will remember that I'm still waiting for her to return if she's in desperate straits. believe she will have the courage to face the unknown."

Tammy sniffed. Finn and Baby Zetty were clearly in love with each other but Finn, the male chauvinist, foolishly thought that his and Baby Zetty's relationship was one of siblings.

Tammy did not want to lose Finn, hence she was apprehensive about bringing him to his senses. She feigned ignorance and said generously, "Okay. Don't worry, I'll treat Sis Zetty nicely." She stressed the word 'Sis'.

Finn smiled. "Thanks for understanding."

Tammy protested coquettishly, "Blame me for falling in love with you."

In her heart, however, she began plotting what she could do to capture Finn's heart before Baby Zetty returned.

One day later.

Jenson received a call from Grand Asia's laboratory.

The other party reverently gave him a report of Chloe's blood test, "Sir, the test results show that Madam Chloe's blood does contain a form of drug that could cause hallucination." Jenson asked, "Have you compared it to the medicinal properties I gave you?"

"Yes, they're 85% similar in structure, but certainly not the same."

Jenson breathed a sigh of relief. "I understand."

After hanging up the call, Baby Robbie rushed forward immediately. "Whose phone call was it?"

Jenson replied, "Grand Asia's laboratory."

"Do they have the result?" Baby Robbie asked with great interest.

Jenson nodded. "Not Chloe."

Baby Robbie patted his chest. "I was almost scared to death. But if it's not Chloe, who else could it be?"

Jenson stood up. "Someone drugged Chloe. This person is really familiar with Yorks Stronghold's drugs, but since he couldn't get his hands on them, he replaced them with similar drugs instead."

Baby Robbie's eyes shone sharply. "There were only a handful of them in Fragrant Vessel Court. The Yorks wouldn't hurt Chloe, and Jordan wouldn't either. The only person who would have had the chance to drug Chloe was that servant."

Jenson teased Baby Robbie, "Chloe and Jordan are your grandparents. Why are you calling them by their names so rudely?"

Robbie explained, "I learned it from you. Chloe hurt Mommy..."

"Daddy's here."

Baby Robbie quickly corrected himself, "Ahem, Grandma... Grandma and Mommy are like sisters..."

Jenson sneered maliciously, "Why are you such a hypocrite?"

Baby Robbie turned around only to realize that Jens had lied to him.

Baby Robbie let out a sharp smile. "How am I a hypocrite?"

Jens approached Baby Robbie and interrogated him," Deep down inside, you hate Chloe too, don't you?"

Baby Robbie,"..."

Jens crossed his arms and scrutinized the docile and harmless Baby Robbie, saying, "You're eager to strike her 1,000 times but are all smiles on the surface.

You're a really cunning fox, aren't you? Even I was nearly fooled."

Baby Robbie said humbly, "I can't fool you, after all."

Jenson analyzed it and said, "You conceal your identity and pretend to be a nice person so others won't be vigilant around you."

Jenson suddenly yanked Baby Robbie by the collar and lifted him. "I'm suddenly really curious about the true character of my little brother."

Baby Robbie answered, "Cold-blooded, ruthless, and bloodthirsty. Would you believe it?"

Jenson looked at the hint of calmness that flashed

across Baby Robbie's face and nodded. "I would."

Baby Robbie cracked up. He broke into a wide grin, making him look extremely adorable.

"Stop studying me. The most important thing we need to do at the moment is going to the Yorks and interrogate that weird servant. We mustn't let her escape." Jenson replied, "Mm."

They then went to the Yorks' villa.

When the Yorks first moved in, their mountain villa had no signboard. Now, there was a carved wooden signboard with two huge words written on it- Refreshing Breeze.

Baby Robbie pointed at the signage and asked the clever Jenson, "Why is Cole, that boorish fellow, giving his mountain villa such a cultured name? What is he trying to prove?"

Jenson explained, "Cole once named Mommy's courtyard as Windy Courtyard, so Refreshing Breeze is probably referring to our mother. The word 'refreshing ' is clearly saying that he refuses to give up on our mother. If Daddy sees this sign, I think he's going to be so mad that he'll vomit out blood, don't you think?"

Baby Robbie said, "I'll go and pull it down."

Jenson said, "No, I have ways to make him change the signboard."

The duo walked into the villa. Cole and Carson were sitting in the pavilion, sipping on English tea contentedly.

"Tea?" When Cole saw Jenson and Baby Robbie, he insincerely invited them for a cup of tea.

Jenson glanced at the two teacups on the stone table and let out a nonchalant smile. "Sure."

Baby Robbie and Jenson sat down directly.

Jenson said, "Ask the servant to fill our cups."

Cole said, "Do you not have hands and feet? The teapot is there, get it yourself!"

Baby Robbie pulled out the Yorks family's seal and swayed it before Cole's eyes with dubious motives.

Cole scrunched up his face, asking, "Are you abusing your power?"

Baby Robbie said, "I want to meet your servant."

Cole nodded at Carson and ordered him by pointing with his chin, saying, "Carson, go and get Faith."

Baby Robbie put away the Yorks family's seal.

Cole rolled his eyes and teased, "You should keep the seal in a safe place. If you keep waving it around like you're afraid that others won't know you're one of the Yorks, you're going to land yourself in trouble." Baby Robbie looked dauntless, saying, "I've got too much f*cking time and am currently fretting about having no one to spend my free time with."
