Chapter 2041

"What?" Grand Old Master Yorks stood up abruptly.

However, when he noticed Baby Robbie sitting calmly on the couch, he realized that he, an old man, was not even remotely as calm and unruffled as a child.

Hence, he forced himself to sit back down again.

"Do you have an antidote for the poison, Baby Robbie?" Grand Old Master Yorks asked.

"No," Baby Robbie answered.

Grand Old Master Yorks looked dumbfoundedly at him. "Why aren't you anxious at all, then?"

Baby Robbie chuckled. "That's your son, not mine. Of course, I can't feel the same pain as you when you lose your son."

Grand Old Master Yorks was dumbfounded once more. He stood up and rushed to the back courtyard this time.

Jordan and Baby Robbie were the only ones left in the living room. They both stared at each other.

Jordan knew that Baby Robbie was once a Rank 5s secret agent in the military intelligence division and could retreat completely amid hails of bullets in crisis. He was certainly not a pure and innocent child as the facade he put up.

Baby Robbie stared at the clock on the wall, stretched out five fingers, and began counting. "Five, four, three, two..."

When he counted to one, Grand Old Master Yorks rushed in in a flurry and asked Baby Robbie, "Why are there two Sandras? There's one in both the front and back courtyards. Which one is real and which is fake?"

Baby Robbie responded, "One is the real Sandra while the other is Nephele. I don't know which one of them is real and which isn't. Why don't you explain to me the combat skills of both Sandras?" Grand Old Master Yorks said, "The Sandra in the front courtyard is agile. Her moves are so swift that it's hard to catch. The Sandra in the back courtyard is great at using poison."

Baby Robbie mulled it over. "The one in the front courtyard is Nephele and the one in the back is Sandra."

Grand Old Master Yorks was astounded. "How do you know?"

Grand Old Master Yorks thought that Baby Robbie's conclusion was merely idle theorizing and not the least bit convincing because he was only sitting in the living room eating fruits without taking a single look at the battlefield.

Baby Robbie answered, "It's just my guess."

Grand Old Master Yorks was speechless. "You brat.

Answer me properly."

Baby Robbie replied, "Only those who don't know martial arts or are weak in martial arts would use external means to restrain the enemy."

Grand Old Master Yorks came to a sudden realization. "Yes, Sandra isn't good at martial arts."

Baby Robbie continued, "She used to be good at it, but her skills have probably been neglected after she entered Yorks Stronghold incognito."

Baby Robbie would counter everything Grand Old Master Yorks said, and the servants could hardly contain their laughter.

Grand Old Master Yorks looked extremely awkward. "Robbie, can you please show me some respect and not pull the rug from under my feet?"

Everyone knew that Grand Old Master Yorks was a man who was concerned about his image.

Baby Robbie let out a mischievous smile. "Okay, okay."

At this moment, Andy and Roxie took Sandra inside. Several servants lifted Spencer inside as well.

Just as the crowd waited for Baby Robbie to interrogate Sandra, Baby Robbie smacked his thigh dejectedly and said with great pity, "Darn it, I should have brought Sis Seven with me today. She's great at interrogations."

Andy echoed, "Out of the 18 Torture Methods that Lil Seven has invented, peeling out someone's scalp is the most effortless of all. If she's in charge, how long do you think this old hag Sandra can last?" Roxie replied, "Who cares how long she can last?

Prisoners who don't come clean will always end up being destroyed and completely obliterated by Lil Seven."

Sandra was so frightened that she began shuddering.

Baby Robbie stood up and said, "If that's the case, interrogate her first in place of Sis Seven. I'll go check out the situation in the front courtyard."

Chapter 2042

Chapter 2042

"Okay," Andy and Roxie replied.

Baby Robbie came to the front courtyard with his hands behind his back. Almost all of the Yorks' forces were gathered here. Cole and Carson had joined the battle as well, but 'Sandra' was simply too cunning. Escaping was her master skill, hence Cole and Carson struggled to seize her in a short period of time.

Grand Old Master Yorks walked out with Baby Robbie, and at the sight of the tension, he asked Baby Robbie," Who do you think will win?"

Baby Robbie replied, "That's hard to say."

Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Baby Robbie with a puzzled gaze. "Why don't you have any confidence in your uncle? He once inflicted serious damage on your father."

Baby Robbie said arrogantly, "He was outnumbered then."

He then muttered with great disdain, "That victory isn't remotely glorious. Don't you feel embarrassed at all to even mention it?"

Grand Old Master Yorks was dumbfounded. "You brat. You should be like your brother and learn how to speak less."

Baby Robbie rolled his eyes at him. "You'd better go and help your baby grandson. I won't guarantee that he'll not die here."

"What do you mean?" Grand Old Master Yorks looked at the fierce battle. Although many of Yorks Stronghold's guards had fallen to the ground and were moaning, this group of people were unskilled guards. The guards who were great at combat were still fighting strong.

Baby Robbie explained, "When Nephele is driven over the edge by Uncle Cole, that's when she will make a counterattack. Just wait and see. Uncle Cole will either be injured by a secret weapon or he'll be poisoned."

Grand Old Master Yorks thought that Baby Robbie's analysis was completely unfounded and could not help but tease Baby Robbie, "You're merely guessing again?" Baby Robbie nodded.

Grand Old Master Yorks laughed. "Okay then. I'll wait for this martial arts match to be over and see the look on your face when you realize you're wrong."

Baby Robbie rolled his eyes at Grand Old Master Yorks. "Believe it or not, I can fast forward this fierce battle to check the end results."

Grand Old Master Yorks said, "Everyone knows how to boast-"

Before he finished speaking, Baby Robbie spoke on top of his lungs to 'Sandra', saying, "Just give up, Nephele. Sandra has already been captured."

When Nephele heard that Sandra had been captured, no one knew what she was thinking when she tore her garments off and took off her coat, throwing them to the sky.

In a split second, golden powder fell, gathering and forming on Madam Nephele. Cole, Carson, and the rest looked at the gold-covered beauty and were momentarily spellbound. It was also at this time that Nephele suddenly jumped out of the courtyard wall.

At the most crucial moment, Baby Robbie suddenly pulled out a custom-made crossbow and shot it, hitting Madam Nephele's right palm.

Baby Robbie put his crossbow away and smiled smugly.

Grand Old Master Yorks was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

"Nice shot."

Although shooting Madam Nephele's hand was not enough to harm her fatally, it was enough to make it difficult for her to hide because it was impossible to conceal an injured hand.

Baby Robbie said, "You can ask the Yorks to chase after her now."

Cole and Carson led their men to chase after Nephele.

Baby Robbie returned to the living room and asked Andy and Roxie, "How'd the interrogation go?"

Andy and Roxie looked miserably at Baby Robbie.

Baby Robbie walked over and saw Sandra and Spencer gazing at each other affectionately. Sandra was teary as she said sorrowfully, "Spencer, I thought I could forget about my identity and start anew after marrying you.

"I dressed excessively all these years because only by doing so could I conceal my past identity. I'm actually the sixth generation of the Davis family. Nephele is my sister.

"I was sick of the endless pursuit of medical skills by doctors. In order to improve our medical skills, there will always be exclusions and struggles going on between doctors. I was tired of living like that, so I chose to withdraw from the world."

Chapter 2043

Chapter 2043

"I married you with the intention of growing old with you. Little did I know that the relationship I seized using underhanded means wouldn't last long. You didn't fall in love with me even after you grew old." Sandra was drenched in tears.

In a flash of realization, Spencer asked, "You're a medical practitioner? You were the one who invented Love Potion?"

Sandra closed her eyes and nodded." Love Potion brought our relationship to fruition but it also ended i t. All my life, my success and failure in my romantic relationship are all due to Love Potion." Spencer looked surprised. "Who are you?"

Sandra said, "Do you remember the time you were injured in Mount Pearl? When your life was hanging by a thread, there was a barefooted doctor with a veil over her head who saved your life."

Spencer looked astonished. "You're the barefooted doctor who saved my life back then?"

Sandra nodded.

Spencer held her hand emotionally. "Do you know how long I've been searching for you?" Sandra nodded, and tears streamed down Spencer's

face. "I know. I know it all. But you know what? It was at that time that I fell in love with you."

Spencer said with great heartache, "Why didn't you tell me your identity even after so many years? If you had told me you're the barefooted doctor who saved my life, I don't think you'd even need Love Potion... because I had already fallen for you at the time."

Sandra cried her heart out. "As stipulated in the Davis family's rules, we aren't allowed to use our family name once we've made the decision to leave the family. That's why I removed my family name when I entered the Yorks."

Tears streamed down Spencer's face...

A wry smile emerged on Sandra's wan and sallow face. "You know what? In order to be with you, I fought fiercely with the feudal patriarchs in the Davis family. When they agreed to set me free after I finally convinced them, do you know how happy I was?"

Sandra's smile turned sad and miserable. "But when I arrived in Yorks Stronghold and saw you getting married to Mrs. Yorks, do you know how much pain I was in at the time?"

At the mention of her sore point, Sandra suddenly roared hysterically. "I paid a huge price in order to be with you but you ended up marrying someone else! Do you think I would resign myself to accepting that? Therefore, I remained in Yorks Stronghold. Judy's father took me in and I'm deeply grateful to them. This is also why I was willing to help Judy."

Sandra continued to sob, saying, "I racked my brains to get close to your sister Chloe, and it was only then did I have the chance to use Love Potion on you. And I succeeded. I succeeded in separating you and Mrs. Yorks. Those years we spent as husband and wife were the best years of my life."

As he was poisoned, Spencer lay on the stretcher on the ground, unable to move a single hair. However, he was so emotional that his face was twitching violently. His tears were falling uncontrollably, turning his dashing face moist.

"You're really silly..." There were many things he wanted to say but they all summed up to only one sentence in the end.

Sandra muttered, "It was a mistake for me to have fallen in love with you from the start."

Spencer muttered in agony, "It's neither of our fault, Sandra. You were just late."

After hearing the touching love story, Grand Old Master Yorks sighed in disappointment and said," Thanks for saving Spencer's life back then, Sandra. You probably don't know this but Spencer couldn't get you out of his mind after you saved him. He made a lot of fuss every single day in order to see you. I couldn't help him, so I simply allowed him to lead the Yorks' guards to search Mount Pearl for a whole year. He searched high and low in Mount Pearl yet still failed to find you. He hadn't seen your face but you could recognize him, so I figured the reason why he couldn't find you for so long was perhaps you didn't like him anymore. I didn't know that you were both in love with each other so I tried to get Spencer to give up and took him outside to travel. Later, he met Mrs. Yorks... And when you appeared before his eyes again, he was already a married man."

Sandra said, "After learning the truth, I don't feel so bitter about this anymore. We were destined to meet but not fated to be together."

Sandra pulled out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Roxie, saying, "This is the antidote. Give it to him."

Chapter 2044

Chapter 2044

Roxie was a cautious girl. She wondered if there was something in the antidote.

Spencer said, "Give it to me. If she wants my life, then I'll give it to her. She was the one who saved my life anyway."

Roxie looked up to seek Baby Robbie's permission. Baby Robbie was touched by Sandra and Spencer's love story. He believed that Sandra would not hurt Spencer, hence he said, "Since Grand-uncle Spencer isn't afraid of dying, give him the antidote, then."

Roxie opened up the bottle of antidote, poured out the pills, and put one in Spencer's mouth.

Strangely, Spencer's poison came and went like the wind. As soon as the pill entered his body, he felt his entire body warm up. His complexion was ruddy again and his strength returned.

Spencer sat up and looked at Sandra. There was a conflicted and complicated look on his face.

Sandra asked him, "So how do you plan to punish me?"

Spencer pleaded with Baby Robbie, "Baby Robbie, can you give Sandra a chance to turn over a new leaf for my sake?"

Baby Robbie twitched his mouth, looking as though he

was put in a difficult spot. "Uh, I need to discuss this with Daddy."

Everyone knew that Sandra had once harmed Angeline, so Jay hated her to the core. If Baby Robbie sought Jay's opinion, then Sandra would only have a slim chance of survival.

Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Baby Robbie. "Baby Robbie, I'm old now. Logically speaking, I'm old enough to tell right from wrong. But I think that Sandra has... lived a hard life. Can you do it for my sake and spare her this one time?"

Baby Robbie sighed. "Argh, I'll go and discuss this with my mother."

Spencer was relieved now.

Angeline had a kind heart. She would definitely become soft-hearted if she learned about Sandra and Spencer's touching love story. If Baby Robbie sought Angeline's opinion, then Sandra would have a huge chance of survival.

Sandra was grateful for the warmth that the Yorks were showing her. She suddenly smiled in relief." Thank you for giving me another chance at life."

Though as she said those words, she began spitting out crimson blood.

Spencer cried out, "Sandra!"

He rushed over and held Sandra as she wobbled unsteadily. "What's going on, Sandra?"

Sandra's vitality was seemingly sucked out of her. Her complexion turned pale, and her energy was seeping out of her body as she nestled in Spencer's arms limply.

She spoke in a weak voice, "I can't hold on any longer, Old Master Spencer. Nephele poisoned me. I don't have the antidote for it and am bound to die. It's more than enough, though. I have lived long enough and don't want more. Don't hate me for all my wrongdoings. I just love you too much."

Spencer choked with sobs. "Stop saying these things, Sandra. I was the one who let you down. I should be sorry."

"Old Master Spencer, please treat Mrs. Yorks well. She's as pitiful as I am. After marrying you, not only was she unable to return to her family, but her husband's family also treated her unfairly. I understand the pain she's going through."

Chapter 2045

Chapter 2045

Sandra then looked at Baby Robbie, saying, "Baby... Robbie, I was born in a cursed family but it was never my intention to harm anyone. Harming your mother is the only mistake I've made in this lifetime. Please tell her I'm sorry."

Baby Robbie nodded. "Okay."

Sandra beckoned to Baby Robbie. "Come here, I have something to say to you in private."

Baby Robbie wanted to go over but Andy and Roxie held him and shook their heads hard, afraid that he would be attacked by Sandra once he walked over.

Baby Robbie said, "Words of a person on their deathbed always come from the heart."

He then pushed Andy and Roxie away before walking over to Sandra. He bent down and moved his ear closer to Sandra's mouth.

Sandra's life was hanging by a thread, and she spoke her last words in an extremely weak voice, "The cure for Nephele's poison is Blood Lily at the Sacred Land."

Having said that, Sandra shut her eyes forever.

Spencer let out a heart-wrenching cry, "Sandra!"

Cole returned empty-handed. It was obvious he did

not manage to catch Madam Nephele. Upon hearing his father's grievous wails, a cry that was so filled with affection, Cole was infuriated.

He stormed into the living room. When he saw Spencer sitting wretchedly on the ground, holding Sandra's body and wailing his heart out, he was seized with thundering fury.

"We should celebrate with fireworks now that she's dead. Why are you holding her and wailing for her death? Why are you so sad now that she's gone?"

Spencer roared at Cole, "You unfilial son! Get lost."

Cole was even more enraged. "Spencer Yorks, if my mother sees how affectionate you are toward Sandra, she will not return to your side ever again. Hmph!"

Cole stomped away after saying those words.

Baby Robbie walked out with Cole. "Uncle Cole."

Cole was still angry. "Tell me, how did Sandra die?"

"Sandra is Nephele's older sister. The sisters have not seen each other for a very long time. Nephele probably tried to test Sandra's medical skills, hence she poisoned her. Little did she know, Sandra intended to die and was unwilling to get an antidote for herself."

Cole stared at Baby Robbie in astonishment. "Did she tell you that?"

Baby Robbie said, "I made it up."

Cole laughed speechlessly. "You're great at making up stories. You should publish a book or it'd be a waste of your exaggerated storytelling talent."

Baby Robbie said, "You hate Sandra because you think she's a homewrecker who destroyed your father and mother's marriage, right?"

Cole gnashed his teeth bitterly. "Yes. I hate her. She's the reason why my parents have been in conflict for more than a decade."

Baby Robbie shook his head and sighed. "Sigh, you can't blame Sandra. Actually, your mother was the homewrecker who destroyed your father and Sandra's relationship."

Cole was stupefied.

Baby Robbie explained, "Before your father fell in love with your mother, he had a crush on someone else, and that person was Sandra. Unfortunately, Sandra's family members did now allow her to leave the Davis family, so they locked her up. Sandra struggled for many years and paid a huge price in the end by giving up on the Davis family. When she finally returned to your father's side, your father was already a married man."

This was Cole's first time hearing about how Spencer and Sandra had met each other. He was beyond astonished.

Chapter 2046

Chapter 2046

Baby Robbie smacked his lips. "Your father learned that Sandra was his first love who once saved his life a t her deathbed. Grief is inevitable."

Cole quivered. "She... She was the barefooted doctor who saved my father's life?"

Baby Robbie nodded. "Therefore, you can't just hate Sandra. You need to hate your father too. His fickle character of loving any woman he met had tortured two women greatly." The resentment on Cole's face was dissipating gradually. His hatred for Sandra was slowly fading as well.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Baby Robbie patted his shoulder and said, "Keep your father company. I have to go to Mammoth Courtyard to help Jens out."

After saying those words, Baby Robbie motioned to Andy and Roxie with his eyes. They walked out to see him.

"Time to go," Baby Robbie said.

On their way back to Mammoth Courtyard, Roxie asked Baby Robbie curiously, "Baby Robbie, what's the third type of relationship in this world?"

Baby Robbie knew that it was particularly difficult for

the sisters to understand sophisticated human relationships after spending most of their lives in the military intelligence division. Therefore, every time they had doubts, he would explain to them patiently. However, Roxie's question had baffled Baby Robbie today.

Baby Robbie had no choice but to spew some crazy nonsense. "The third type of relationship is kinship, friendship, and love relationship. Just like you and me. We're siblings, that's kinship, but we're not related by blood. Before we were siblings, what we shared was friendship. Therefore, the third type of relationship for us is a love relationship."

Once he was done making an irrelevant comparison, Baby Robbie felt so awkward himself that he laughed." Haha."

Roxie took it seriously. She recalled the words Patriarch Spencer said, "You'll experience the third type of relationship in the future." Roxie stole a glance at the good-looking and charming Baby Robbie, her ears secretly growing hot.

Mammoth Courtyard.

Jenson led the Ghost members to the front courtyard of Mammoth Courtyard.

Jacob saw Jenson barging in with great momentum and asked gloomily, "What's the meaning of this, Jens?"

Jenson replied, "Don't be mad, Grandpa Jacob. We're

here to save Grandma Charlotte."

Jacob glanced at Madam Charlotte's room, and his pupils grew darker.

The moment he found out that Madam Charlotte was disloyal to him, he deliberately asked Madam Nephele for some cartilage-weakening powder that could turn anyone weak all over in order to prevent Madam Charlotte from transferring out the second family's assets. Thus, Madam Charlotte had been confined in her room.

Every day, he would stop others from visiting Madam Charlotte. Other than the quick visit Angeline made that night, he was sure that Madam Charlotte had no chance of seeking help from anyone. "Think before you speak, Jens. Grandma Charlotte is just ill. Who would harm her? Besides, Grandma Charlotte hasn't met anyone lately. Who did she seek help from?"

Jacob was filled with so much righteous indignation and portrayed himself as a straightforward, upright man. His mistresses had also come to his aid. "Jens, just because you're the head of the Ares family doesn't mean you can bully and disrespect your elders."

At this moment, even Jacob and Madam Charlotte's son, Jo Ares, stepped forward to side with Jacob. They raged and yelled, "Why would my father harm my mother? From what I can see, Chateau de Selene is trying to dominate the entire family by pulling out the thorns in your side, right?"

Jenson looked at Jo speechlessly and said in a cold tone, "You overestimate yourself."

In other words, the second family was beneath contempt for him. Why would he even bother to rack his brain to eliminate them?

Jo was infuriated. Jenson was his junior, after all. However, the arrogance in Jenson's tone and his contemptuous expression made him feel as though his aura had been completely crushed by Jenson's arrogance. Jo was extremely displeased about this.

Jenson pulled out a chiffon cloth the size of a square from his sleeve and walked up to Jacob and Jo. He spread it open nimbly. The white chiffon cloth was stained with two crimson words-'Help me!'

Chapter 2047

Chapter 2047

Jenson said, "This is what Grandma gave to my mommy when she visited her last night."

Jacob's expression was unnatural.

Jo was terrified and stared at Jacob as he said, "Dad, what in the world is going on? What did you do to Mom?"

Jacob scolded Jo, "I'm your dad! How could you trust an outsider instead of me? He's gaslighting us, can't you tell?"

Jo was wavering. He stared at Jenson angrily and said, "Jenson, what are you trying to do?"

Jenson waved to the Ghost members and said, "Go, bring Madam Charlotte out."

Jo blocked the door and shouted, "No one is allowed i n! If you insist, it'll be over my dead body!"

There was a sly sneer in Jacob's eyes.

Jacob threatened Jenson, "Jens, Charlotte is seriously ill and should not be moved around. If you forcibly take her away, you'll be responsible if something happens to her."

Jenson replied, "Is that a threat?"

Jacob snorted and said, "This is what you get for being

reckless!"

Jenson answered in a chilly tone, "You poisoned her in hopes that she would die slowly and want to frame me for it. It's a great plan, but did you think about what would happen if Grandma wakes up?" Jacob panicked but soon regained his composure. After all, Madam Nephele's poison was incurable.

"That's all I have to say. Jens, make a choice."

Jenson flicked his sleeves and said, "I won't waste my time, then. Anyway, the life and death of Madam Charlotte have nothing to do with me." Jacob was overjoyed that his plan had worked.

Out of the blue, Jo suddenly acted out. He grabbed Jenson and said, "Jens, you're the person in charge of the Ares family. How can you say that?!"

Jenson questioned him, "You're standing guard like a watchdog, so what do you want me to do?"

Jo said, "I'll let you visit my mom on the condition that I will be present the entire time. Don't think of trying anything."

That worked out in Jenson's favor. "Okay."

Just like that, Jo walked upstairs with Jens and the Ghost members.

Jacob did not expect things to take a turn for the worse and shouted out in a panic, "Stop!"

Jenson stopped and said to Jo, "Do you see this? Your

dad is acting guilty."

Jo thought that his father and mother had always been respectful to each other. He rarely saw them fight, so he was convinced that his father would not hurt his mother. However, Jacob's panicked look made Jo question his father's intentions.

"Dad, I'll be there with them. They can't hurt Mom," Jo said.

Jacob answered, "Jens is known for being cunning..."

Jenson's face turned sour, and he glared at Jacob.

Jacob pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and corrected himself, "Let your mother have a good rest. How can she recover if so many people are bothering her?" "Okay. But I can go up alone, right?" Jo said.

Jacob relaxed a little when he heard that. Jo was not the brightest child and since Charlotte was in a coma, he concluded that Jo would not be able to figure anything out. He nodded and gave his permission.

"Go ahead."

When Jo turned and walked inside, Jenson noticed that Madam Charlotte's window had been opened.

Jens smiled and said, "No need. She's on her way down."

Jacob was stunned when he realized who Jenson was

referring to.

Jenson looked at Jacob with a big smile and said, Grandpa Jacob, are you alright? You don't look so well." Jacob asked, "What are you talking about?"

Chapter 2048

Chapter 2048

"Grandpa Jacob, are you afraid that Madam Charlotte will mention something she shouldn't when she wakes up?"

Jacob nervously replied, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Jo felt his father's panic.

He stared at Jacob, his gaze filled with bitterness. "Dad, did you hurt Mom?"

"I didn't!" Jacob growled in protest.

Just then, Sis Andy carried Madam Charlotte on her back and came out with Baby Robbie and Sis Roxie protecting them.

Jenson walked toward them. When he caught a glimpse of Madam Charlotte's abnormal complexion, he took off his trench coat and covered her tightly.

Jacob's eyes narrowed when he saw what Jenson did.

Madam Nephele had told him that Charlotte would be good as gone in the next few days. Jenson's reaction made Jacob think that Madam Charlotte might be dead.

"Mom!" Jo rushed over.

Sis Roxie extended her leg to trip Jo.

Sis Roxie said, "Madam Charlotte is in serious condition. We have to send her to another place for treatment."

Jacob knew something was wrong. Initially, he thought that Jenson and the others would send Madam Charlotte to an orthodox hospital, like Grand Asia, for treatment. If that was the case, Madam Charlotte would not survive.

However, based on what Sis Roxie just said, they were not planning to send Madam Charlotte to Grand Asia Hospital. Jacob's expression turned sour when he thought of the genius doctor, Mr. Boye, in the Ares family. He was afraid that Jenson would send Madam Charlotte to Boye.

Jacob tried to block their path. "You're not allowed to take my wife."

Sis Roxie was pissed! She lifted her hand and threatened him, "Whoever dares to stop us will have their leg broken."

Jacob had heard about Jay Ares' adopted daughters. They used to be merciless agents who killed without a second thought. He was smart enough to retreat. "Let's go!" Jenson said.

Jenson and Baby Robbie brought Madam Charlotte back to Chateau de Selene.

Jay and Angeline were relieved to see their children coming back with Madam Charlotte.

Soon enough, Jay and Angeline realized that something was wrong.

Their childrens' expressions were grave and they looked sad.

They had a bad feeling.

Suddenly, Jay picked Angeline up and walked upstairs.

Angeline struggled and said, "Jaybie, what are you doing?"

Jay took Angeline to their bedroom and then put her on the bed carefully. He coaxed her gently, saying," Angeline, our little treasure is timid, don't scare them." Angeline's face sank and she grabbed Jay. "Jaybie, Aunt Charlotte, is she..."

Jay said, "Don't worry about that. Focus on our child."

Angeline said with a jealous tone, "Nowadays, all you talk about is our baby. What about me?"

Jay looked at Angeline who was in his arms. She was rarely jealous, but when she was, her pout made her look adorable.

He could not help but kiss her lips and then said with a smile, "You're the apple of my eye."

Angeline held his face and said, "Do you listen to everything your wife says?"

Jay pinched her nose affectionately and replied, "I will unconditionally say yes to things that are good for you.

H

"Hmph." Angeline groaned.

Jay continued coaxing her, "Be a good girl and stay here. It won't do you any good being downstairs now."

Angeline surrendered and said, "Okay, I won't go.

Chapter 2049

Chapter 2049

Jay went back to the living room. Sis Andy had placed Madam Charlotte's corpse on the ground. They were not sure of Madam Charlotte's time of death but her corpse was stiff and her eyes were tightly closed. There was no doubt she was dead.

Jay sighed bitterly and said, "Madam Charlotte had always been a strong and capable woman. I didn't expect her to become the first victim of the Ares family's battle."

Jenson felt very guilty because it was he who had decided for the mistresses to move into Tourmaline Estate. He felt it was his reckless decision that led to Madam Charlotte's death. "Daddy, it's all my fault."

Jay patted Jenson on the shoulder and warned him," Jens, this is a lesson for you. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Every decision you make affects each member of the Ares family. If you're not able to protect them, you must think twice before making any decisions."

Jenson nodded gloomily. "I understand."

Jay said, "You don't have to blame yourself for this. You are much more courageous than I was at your

age. I believe that you can brave the waves and lead us to a harmonious outcome."

Jenson looked at Jay with a blank expression. That was the first time he doubted himself. He compared himself to Jay, who was a master strategist, and felt that he could have put more thought into it before making a decision.

However, he knew it was not the time to be emotional. Jenson quickly pulled himself together like a wounded lion that had a burst in power when cornered.

"Daddy, Grandpa Jacob doesn't seem to know that Madam Charlotte is dead, so we can keep the news of Madam Charlotte's death under wraps for now and use her as our pawn."

Jay said, "Notify your Great-grandpa. Also, secretly transport Madam Charlotte's corpse to Grand Asia and get someone to do an autopsy on her to find out the cause of death. You would need your Uncle Jasper to sign off on this."

"I know what to do."

Jenson turned around and gave an order to the Ghost members, "Divide into three groups and leave in cars with the same license plate number. Group A, head to Grand Asia. Group B, Carefree Garden. Group C, wander around in the outskirts of Imperial Capital."

Grayson said, "Got it!"

After the Ghost members set off, Jenson said to Sis

Andy, "Sis Andy, you and Sis Roxie drive to the airport."

Although Sis Andy was not sure of Jenson's intentions, she trusted him unconditionally and said,"

Okay."

"What about me?" Baby Robbie volunteered himself.

"Go and bring Great-grandpa over."

Finally, Jenson looked at Madam Charlotte who was on the ground. He said to Jay, "Daddy, is it time for Mommy to go for her check-up?"

Jay stared at him and said, "Are you planning to sneak Madam Charlotte into Grand Asia when your Mommy is going for a check-up?"

Jenson was apologetic and said, "Daddy, I'm sorry. I have no other choice. This is the least suspicious method."

Jay said, "You're getting more and more dependent on your Mommy. Aren't you worried that she'll be scared of having to ride in the car with the dead?" Angelina poked her head out from the second floor and said, "I'm not afraid. If Madam Charlotte knows that I'm helping her, she'll surely bless me." Jenson smiled at Angelina.

Jay slapped his forehead. "The two of you will be the end of me."

Angelina held the railing by the stairs and headed downstairs. She walked toward Madam Charlotte with heavy footsteps. She noticed that the clothes on Madam Charlotte's swollen body were barely holding o n. Angeline said compassionately, "Jaybie, go get one of my maternity dresses. I'll change Madam Charlotte into something more decent."

Jay was a germaphobe and was strongly against Angeline coming into contact with a corpse. As such, he said to Angeline without hesitation, "Don't worry about it, someone else will attend to it."

Angeline said, "This matter is supposed to be top secret, no?"

Jay was speechless.

Jay grabbed a maternity dress from upstairs and handed it to Angeline.

"Please leave the room. I need to change her clothes,"

Angeline said.

Chapter 2050

Jay and Jens turned around as Angeline unbuttoned Madam Charlotte's top. Suddenly, she took a step back and screamed, "Ah!" Angeline fell to the ground in shock. Jay immediately turned around and helped her get up.

"Angeline, what's the matter?"

"Mommy?" Jens also turned around.

Jay and Jens had their gazes focused on Angeline. Jay felt angry and pitiful when he saw Angeline trembling.

"I told you not to do this but you wouldn't listen to me."

Angeline tried to calm herself down and said, "Jaybie, something in Aunt Charlotte's body is alive."

Jay and Jenson were surprised with the latest revelation.

"Alive?"

Unless Charlotte was pregnant, how was it possible that something was alive in her body?

Jenson said, "Daddy, stand back with Mommy. I'll go take a look."

Jay pressed Angeline's head into his arms and coaxed

her, saying, "Listen to me, don't look."

Jenson walked up to the corpse. He was a germaphobe like his dad, so he took a paring knife from the coffee table and gently cut through Madam Charlotte's clothes. Even through the thin layer of clothing, it was clear that there were worms squirming inside the corpse.

"What is this?" Jenson wondered.

Just then, Grand Old Master Ares arrived with Baby Robbie by his side.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw Madam Charlotte's corpse in the living room and the creatures squirming inside her body.

"Witchcraft?!" Grand Old Master Ares said in shock.

"Grandpa, you came at the right time. I'm afraid that we must destroy Aunt Charlotte's body immediately. If the Witchbugs escape her body, the consequences would be disastrous," Jay said. Grand Old Master Ares trembled with anger as he uttered, "Jacob Ares, how could you do this to your wife?!"

Jay said, "Grandpa, take a breather. This is not the time to pick a fight with Uncle Jacob. There's something sinister behind why Nephele Davis planted the Witchbugs in Aunt Charlotte. Our top priority now i s to destroy the Witchbugs."

Grand Old Master Ares said furiously, "Take her back to where you took her and burn Mammoth Courtyard to the ground. Don't let her contaminate Angeline's Chateau de Selene. Angeline is pregnant and must be kept safe."

As long as it was good for Angeline, Jay would support it.

Jay got two servants to carry Madam Charlotte's body to Mammoth Courtyard.

Jacob saw that Jenson had returned. He glanced at the hearse behind him and knew in his heart that Madam Charlotte had passed.

At that moment, Jacob had mixed feelings.

When Madam Charlotte was alive, he blamed her and hated her.

Madam Charlotte was shrewd and capable. She overshone him in every way.

However, after he found out that Madam Charlotte was dead, he suddenly felt empty inside.

The servants placed Madam Charlotte's corpse on the courtyard's lawn. Jacob suddenly started crying and shouted, "Charlotte!"

He rushed forward but was stopped by Jenson.
