Ch. 2051..2060

Chapter 2051

"Grandpa Jacob, there's no rush. I'm sure you'll have time to cry later." Jenson's beautiful eyes carried a hint of viciousness as he said that.

"What do you mean? Jenson, Charlotte was fine when she was still in Mammoth Courtyard. However, she died shortly after you took off with her. What did you do to her?!" Jacob shouted.

Soon, all three of Madam Charlotte's children arrived a t Mammoth Courtyard. When they saw Madam Charlotte's corpse, a great tremor overtook them.

Jacob pointed to Jenson and said, "He's the one who killed your mother!"

Jasper, Jo, and Julia stared at Jenson indignantly." Jenson, it's all your fault! It was you who invited the mistresses into Tourmaline, that's why my mother became depressed..."

Jenson gritted his teeth and said coldly, "We're unsure if it was depression that led to your mom's death. Why would you blindly trust your dad? If you had paid more attention to your mom, maybe she wouldn't have died such a painful death."

"How dare you put the blame on me?!" Jasper said angrily.

Grand Old Master Ares slammed his walking stick on the ground, making a loud bang. Then, he walked to Jasper and said, "Go and take the cloth off your mother and you'll see if Jenson is lying to you." Jasper looked at Grand Old Master Ares suspiciously and then walked toward Madam Charlotte's corpse with some confusion. He carefully pulled off the cloth and saw Madam Charlotte's bloated appearance. The living creatures in her body were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah!" Jasper was terrified.

"How could this happen?" Jacob could not believe what he was seeing.

Jenson scolded Jacob, "Grandpa Jacob, you used witchcraft on Grandma Charlotte and planted the Witchbugs in her body! But you told everyone that she had depression. A vicious man like you doesn't deserve her love."

Jasper, Jo, and Julia were so frightened that they went limp. Once they snapped out of it, tears raced down their faces.

Jacob said, "No... It's not like that... I didn't plant any Witchbugs on her. I just gave her... a drug that would make her absent-minded. It wouldn't kill her."

Jenson said, "Did Madam Nephele give you the drug? Do you know Madam Nephele's true identity? She's a descendant of the infamous Poison Doctor and is an expert in putting others in harm's way. I can't believe that you're on her side!"

Jacob fell to the ground.

At that moment, the Witchbugs in Madam Charlotte's body bit through her skin and crawled out.

Baby Robbie noticed it immediately and yelled, "The Witchbugs are out. Let's hurry up and dispose of the corpse. Otherwise, there'll be endless troubles for all of us."

The servants poured the fuel that had been prepared in advance and then sprinkled a type of chemical that was capable of destroying and decomposing the living things around the corpse.

Grand Old Master Ares raised his hand, and Jay tossed the burning lighter over. The raging flames sprang up immediately.

At that point, almost everyone in the Ares family received the news and gathered in Mammoth Courtyard to see Madam Charlotte off.

A sense of hopelessness filled the air as bitter tears were shed.

Madam Charlotte's corpse, along with the Witchbugs, was burned to ashes.

Madam Charlotte's tragic death caused the second family to be consumed by grief and anger. Jasper and his siblings threatened Jacob, "Dad, I want an explanation!"

Jacob was like a bereaved dog at the moment while seemingly looking for something.

Jenson said, "Grandpa Jacob, are you looking for Madam Nephele, your favorite mistress?"

Jacob panicked and said, "I want to question her on why she lied to me."

Jenson said, "I've made sure that she won't be here now. If she were here, how could these Witchbugs be destroyed so easily? Grandpa Jacob, have you ever thought about why Madam Nephele is raising Witchbugs?"

Jacob's expression was blank, and he said in hysteria, "I don't know!"

Jenson shot him a fierce look and said, "You've known her for a long time, I'm sure you know something. It's best for you to tell the truth."

After he said that, Jenson gave the Ghost members a look and said, "Escort Grandpa Jacob inside. I want to talk to him alone."

Chapter 2052

Chapter 2052

The Ghost members came forward to detain Jacob.

Jasper walked toward Jenson and asked, "I've been meaning to ask you something. Jens, now that my mother is dead, how do you plan on distributing her shares to the Ares family?"

Jenson looked at the look of urgency on Jasper's face. It was as though his mother's death no longer meant anything to him, and this only made Jenson's heart colder.

"Uncle Jasper, your mother's ashes are still here. Are you not even thinking of giving her a proper burial before you mention her assets? I'm sure she'll be bitterly disappointed in you."

A touch of shame flashed across Jasper's face, but he quickly forced out the words, "You don't get it. My mother's greatest wish in her life was to protect the second branch's assets. She'll never allow the assets she had worked so hard on to fall into the hands of those who seek to reap without sowing anything."

Jenson said, "The second branch's assets have been transferred abroad by your father, so there's not much left behind for you and your siblings."

Jasper felt like he had just been struck by lightning. H

e was unwilling to accept this.

Jenson proceeded to turn around and walked into Mammoth Courtyard's house.

Jacob was sitting devastatingly on the sofa, akin to a dog that was abandoned by its family.

"What do you plan on asking, Jens?" Jacob asked in a displeased manner.

Jenson said, "Grandpa Jacob, there's a homicide case in the Ares household. Do you think we should hand this over to the police or deal with it internally?"

"What do you think?" Jacob asked, remaining calm and collected.

Jenson said, "Why don't we hand this case over to the police?"

Jacob secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Madam Charlotte's body had been destroyed, the evidence of him having poisoned her was gone as well.

It was as if Jenson had seen through his relief, and his sexy lips showed a smile of determination to get whatever he wanted. He secretly glanced at Grayson, giving him a look. Grayson tacitly understood him. Then, he took out a phone and turned on the recording function.

Jenson took out the Variety Pendant and looked at it in scrutiny.

Jacob became impatient with him and urged, "Since you've decided to call the police, then there's no need for me to cooperate with you."

Jenson said, "Don't be nervous, Grandpa Jacob. Just answer a couple of my questions first."

"Ask then."

"Why does Madam Nephele keep snakes and Witchbugs? Who does she plan on using them with?"

"I don't know," said Jacob impatiently.

"Madam Nephele has been hiding within the Ares family for more than ten years. What are her true intentions?"

"I don't know. I do not know!"

Jenson said again, "So what's the relationship between the two of you?"

Jacob was startled and hesitated for a moment before saying, "What else could it be? I like her, and she's my lover."

Jenson said, "Since you're not cooperating with me, Grandpa Jacob, don't blame me for being impolite."

After Jenson said this, he dropped the pendant in front of Jacob's eyes.

"What are you planning on doing?"

"I'm going to hypnotize you." "Heh. I know that you're well versed in the art of hypnotism, but it's useless against me. Your silly little toy won't hypnotize me..."

Chapter 2053

Chapter 2053

"Oh, is that so?" Jenson chuckled.

His hypnotism would only be ineffective on one type of people, the ones who had no worldly desires and those with unyielding willpower. People like Jacob, who was blinded by greed, would never have the capability of resisting hypnotism.

"Grandpa Jacob, is Faith your daughter?" Jenson went straight to the topic.

Jacob nodded first... before ultimately shaking his head.

Jenson suddenly plucked a few strands of Jacob's hair and said, "It doesn't matter whether or not you admit it. A simple paternity test can tell me the answer."

Jacob huffed angrily as he said, "Jenson, you-"

"You and Madam Nephele started as the domineering president and gentle assistant. But the two of you must've been in cahoots from the beginning. After Madam Nephele gave birth to a daughter for you, she must've sincerely done everything to help you, right?"

A touch of resistance flashed across Jacob's eyes. However, with Jenson's jade pendant dangling in front of him, he soon became dizzy and his eyes

turned dim. Even his consciousness was becoming lax and unclear.

"Since you already know everything, why bother questioning me?" Jacob spat out the words.

Jenson said, "I was merely curious about something. Grandpa Jacob, for Madam Nephele alone, you deserted your first wife and ended up getting spurned by your children. Is it all worth it?"

"What do you know? You don't know anything!" Jacob roared. "I wasn't planning on hurting Charlotte. But she became a hindrance to me...."

"A hindrance to what?" Jenson was aware that Jacob was hiding an unspeakable truth inside his heart.

However, it seemed like the secret he was hiding was s o deep that Jacob was unwilling to spit it out even under hypnotism. It was evident that this secret had a profound and long-lasting effect on him.

The only thing Jenson could do now was systematically guide Jacob into telling him the truth based on his own speculation. "Grandpa Jacob, Faith is the daughter of you and Nephele Davis, yet you made her the Ares family's maid. Don't you think you're too cruel? As the child of the Ares family, even if she's an illegitimate daughter, she should have a brighter life."

"That was Nephele's decision. She couldn't let Faith's identity be revealed, or it'll cause her an even bigger issue."

"She's a healer of the Davis descendant and isn't allowed to marry a man outside. Is this the reason?"

"Yes. I love her, and she loves me as well. If it weren't because of Nephele's reluctance to reveal her identity, I think I would've divorced your Grandma Charlotte and married Nephele instead. Then we would truly become husband and wife out in the open."

Jacob abruptly thought of something, and his pupils suddenly turned scarlet. He gritted his teeth and said, " That way, your Grandma Charlotte wouldn't have had the right to hinder my relationship with Nephele. She's just a jealous and manipulative mad woman. She caused the death of our child and took control of my fortune. The woman should have died a long time n ago.

When Jenson listened to Jacob's intention to inflict suffering upon others, he felt nothing but a terrifying chill. "I understand now. Grandma Charlotte hindered you from living your life in debauchery, stopped you from having children with other women, and disallowed you from using the Ares family's money outside. She took full control of your spending power, and this action of hers made you feel nothing but resentment toward her. Hence, after bottling up all of your contempt and hatred for a long time, you finally decided to get rid of her, right?"

"No. I've built up a tolerance for her after so many years. Although I was by no means happy, I've never thought of killing her. It's because she overheard a secret that shouldn't have been heard..." "What secret?" Jenson asked vigilantly.

Jacob was silent once more.

Jenson took another indirect approach and inquired for ages again. Jacob would answer all of Jenson's questions very cooperatively, but once they circled back to that secret, Jacob became mute once again. Jenson stopped the hypnotism, and Jacob proceeded to fall asleep.

When Jenson returned to Chateau de Selene, he informed Jay of the results from hypnotizing Grandpa Jacob.

"Daddy, what secret do you think Grandpa Jacob is hiding?"

Chapter 2054

Chapter 2054

Jay's face was solemn. "It seems like the Ares family is simply overwhelmed with secrets. When your greatgrandfather imprisoned your grandfather in the underground palace back then, I only heard of this secret when I reached adulthood. And the price for exposing this secret cost me my wife and children."

Jenson was slightly stunned.

"So Grandpa Jacob's tight-lipped secret is surely another shocking news."

Jay nodded. "It seems like I have to have a talk with your great-grandpa."

In the evening, Jay went to the backyard to have some tea with Grand Old Master Ares.

Josie and Zayne had arrived at Chateau de Selene's front yard to chat with Angeline.

Their kid was eight months old now and had grown into a cute little toddler.

Seeing the adorable Joseph, Angeline could not help but want to reach out and hug him. However, she was immediately rejected by Zayne.

"Don't carry the baby, Angeline. Otherwise, your wifespoiling demon husband will come home and go on and on about me torturing you."

Angeline was caught in between laughter and tears.

Zayne glanced at Angelina's slightly bulging belly. Although she was already several months pregnant, Angelina's figure was still slender, and the only difference was her bulging belly. From her back view, i t would be impossible to tell that she was pregnant.

Zayne was envious of his sister, saying, "It's so weird. Why aren't you getting fleshier even when you're pregnant? Look at my Josie; she gained 20 kilograms from her pregnancy and five more after giving birth. She hasn't lost any weight, and it's still increasing too."

Zayne glanced at Josie disdainfully and mocked, "You should be taking notes from Angeline. If you continue to gain more weight, won't you turn into a beach ball when you're pregnant with our second?" Josie swung a kick at him, yelling, "Who told you I'd like a second child with you?!"

Zayne hugged Joseph over and eagerly coaxed Josie, saying, "Let's have another one, Josie. A daughter, perhaps? Think about it. You have so many of those unworn old clothes and so many luxury bags in your closet. It'll be a pity to throw them all away. Once we have a daughter, we don't have to get her clothes, bags, or cosmetics because she could use yours.

Raising a daughter will save us so much money, and you can go ahead and keep getting new things."

Josie laughed out of anger, saying, "Did you hear him, Sis Angeline? Do you think your big brother is

speaking a language decent people should be speaking?"

Angeline replied impartially and fairly, "Zayne, even if you want to have a second child, you'll have to wait for Josie's figure to return to the ideal state."

Zayne shot a glance at Josie's body and said, "There's no need to lose weight. You'll gain it back after pregnancy anyway, so your efforts to go on a diet will all be in vain."

Josie cried out, "Sis Angeline..."

Angeline also felt that Zayne's joke was crude and excessive. She used a trump card against him, saying, "Then you can go ahead and satisfy his wishes, Josie. Have another child. But this time, not with him..."

Zayne shrieked aloud, "Angeline Severe, I'm your brother! Are you trying to instigate your sister-in-law t o cheat on me?"

Angeline smirked at him, saying, "Josie's not my sister-in-law. She's my darling husband's little sister..."

Josie smiled and nodded. "Exactly!"

Zayne was huffing and pointed at Angeline furiously." So you're disregarding your brother after getting yourself a husband, is that it?!"

Angeline laughed heartily as if her husband was indeed everything to her and answered, "So what if I a m?"

Jenson had caught up on his sleep by now. When he walked out of the house, his hair looked a little fluffy akin to an unruly lion.

Chapter 2055

Chapter 2055

Zayne had enough insults from Angeline and Josie, so he went over to Jenson to seek solace.

"Jens, I heard that you used hypnotism on your Grandpa Jacob today and made him confess to a lot of secrets that shouldn't be told. Is this true?"

Jenson replied, "It's true."

"Is hypnotism that magical? How about trying it out on your uncle here? Let me feel the magic too," said Zayne impatiently.

Jenson walked toward Angeline and sat down next to his mommy. Then, he carefully placed his head on his mommy's knee and acted coyly. "Is the baby nice to you lately, Mommy?"

Jenson might be a ruthless tyrant in front of outsiders, but he was still a child when in front of his mommy.

Angeline stroked the dark circles under Jenson's eyes and said distressingly, "Your little sister has been very good. But have you been getting enough sleep lately?"

Jenson sat up in amazement, and his eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "So it's a little sister, Mommy?"

Angeline smiled and nodded. "I found out after doing the ultrasound the day before yesterday. Are you

happy that it's a sister?"

Jenson said, "Yeah. She'll be as cute and kind as Baby Zetty."

Angeline said, "For me and your daddy, sons and daughters are the same."

Zayne had wholeheartedly asked for a daughter, but they gave birth to a son instead. Hearing that Angeline was pregnant with a daughter, he became extremely jealous of Jay.

However, at this moment, Zayne was thoroughly intrigued by Jenson's hypnotism. He grabbed Jenson and pleaded with him to the best of his ability, "Jens, come one. Just perform it on me this one time." Jens said, "Would you like to know what Grandpa Jacob said after being hypnotized?"

It was as if Zayne was possessed by a nosy meddling woman as he gossiped, "What? What'd he say?"

"He explained the reason why he killed Grandma Charlotte."

"So what was the reason?"

"Because Grandma Charlotte was controlling his money."

As soon as Jens said this, Angeline and Josie's faces turned pale.

Both of them patted their chests with a guilty conscience. Josie said almost in a whisper, "Zayne,

once we get back, I'll return all of your cards to you."

Angeline murmured, "I used to hear that men who have money would become bad men, but I never imagined that men without money were even scarier"

Jenson abruptly recovered his senses. Why on earth was he gossiping about this with Uncle Zayne?" Hypnotism arouses the evil side of the human brain. Are you sure you want to get hypnotized?" Zayne said with righteousness, "I'm a pure and innocent man. There's nothing I fear, so come on."

Jenson asked, "Do you have a secret stash of money hidden from your wife?"

A guilty look flashed through Zayne's eyes. "Well..."

Jenson asked again, "Have you watched movies that aren't suitable for children?"

Zayne was in a huff, saying, "Why, you little... Just don't ask these questions, okay? Ask something else..."

While it was lively in Chateau de Selene's front yard, the backyard, however, was shrouded in a treacherous atmosphere.

Jay and Grand Old Master Ares were sitting on opposite sides of the courtyard table, looking at one another with extraordinarily solemn expressions on their faces.

Grand Old Master Ares was puzzled as he asked, "You mean your second uncle is hiding a huge secret, and because of this secret, he didn't hesitate to harm his first wife?"

Jay nodded. "Although Jens used hypnotism to force out a confession, you know very well that hypnotism can't force out a confession out of thin air."

Grand Old Master Ares looked at Jay, giving him a scrutinizing gaze. He was becoming somewhat stirred up. "Jay, I really don't know what other kinds of secrets the Ares family is keeping, especially one that's enough to drive your second uncle to kill your second aunt."

Jay took a sip of his coffee, clearly showing his disbelief toward Grand Old Master Ares. He said," When you hid the secrets about my mom and dad, didn't you also frankly tell me that Tourmaline Estate had no secrets too? And what came out of that?"

Grand Old Master Ares said, "I didn't tell you the secrets about your mom and dad to protect you."

Chapter 2056

Chapter 2056

Jay said dubiously, "Do you truly not know Second Uncle's secret?"

Grand Old Master Ares shook his head decisively and said, "I don't."

"Do you swear on your grave?" Jay asked again.

Grand Old Master Ares huffed at his words.

When he was about to raise his hand to swear it, Jay stopped him and said, "Forget it. I believe you."

Hence, Jay returned to the front yard with a heavy heart.

At this time, Jenson was occupied with hypnotizing Zayne while Josie was interrogating Zayne enthusiastically. "Who's the woman you love the most, Zayne?"

"Josie."

Josephine was having a great time questioning him, so she continued without stopping.

"So if your sister and your wife fell into the river at the same time, who'd you save first?"

"I won't save either of them. Both of them can swim anyway so they can save themselves. Plus, I can't swim."

Josie,

Angeline was startled and laughed out loud.

"What if your wife can't swim?"

"That's not possible. I won't change my wife."

With that, Josie smiled contentedly and happily.

When Jay walked in, Angeline greeted him with joy and smiled while saying, "Zayne is getting hypnotized by Jens."

Jay furrowed his brows and looked at Zayne who was lying on the table, seemingly deep in slumber. He shook his head in disgust and said, "That's the extent of his concentration? How disgraceful." Angeline suddenly cast Jay aside and went upstairs. However, it did not take long before Angeline came over with her purse. She handed it to Jay, saying," You'll be in charge of our money in the future, Jaybie."

Jay looked dumbfounded.

Josie explained, "Angeline and I have decided to return the power of authority to our husbands so that we won't meet the same demise that befell poor Second Aunt in the future."

Jay came to realize what she was doing and shoved the purse back into Angeline's hand while saying," Money is my second uncle's lifeline, so whoever touches his money, he'd fight them as though his life depended on it. But my lifeline isn't money, it's my

wife..."

Angeline murmured, "You're truly letting everything slip out of your mouth nowadays..."

Josie lamented, "I truly despise coming to Chateau de Selene. It feels like I'm always forced to watch a public display of affection."

Jay pulled Angeline over to the bench and stroked her belly, asking, "How's little baby?"

Angeline said, "She's been tossing and turning inside my stomach the whole day now. You said that a girl would be a little doll, but she's getting fussier than her brothers and sister. I'm afraid she'll come out to be another devil incarnation."

Jay laughed and said, "It's good that she's rowdy. A few years later, once Jens and Robbie go off to college, we'll be less lonely if the little baby is so active."

"That's true."

Once Jay and Angeline talked a little more, he called Jens to the study.

"Jens, it seems like your great-grandfather doesn't know anything about Grandpa Jacob's secret."

Jenson was stunned. "How's that possible?"

He perplexedly paced back and forth inside the room, pondering the solution for this challenging problem.

All of a sudden, Jenson seemed to have thought of something and excitedly said, "Can you tell me the Ares family's genealogy? I want to know more about the family tree in Great-grandpa's generation..."

Jay gave it a moment's thought before saying, "Your great-grandfather was married twice before. Boye was his first partner, and she gave the Ares family one child, which is your grandfather. Your greatgrandfather's second wife is the one currently written on the family tree-Lottie Shaw. So other than your Grandpa Jordan, your granduncles were birthed by Great-grandmother Lottie."

Chapter 2057

Chapter 2057

Jenson's grave and stern pupils shot a wise and distant cold gaze.

Jay looked at his son and asked, "What'd you discover?"

Jenson told him his deduction, "Daddy, Faith is Grandpa Jacob and Nephele's child. But I simply don't understand why Grandpa Jacob would allow his own daughter to be the Ares family's servant instead of letting her become one of the Areses? Although Nephele's identity is exceptional, Grandpa Jacob could've arranged for another one of his mistresses to be Fatih's mother to cover up the fact since he has plenty of mistresses anyway."

Jay was a wise and farsighted man himself. He could instantly understand Jacob's motive now. However, he stayed quiet without exposing the truth, waiting for Jenson to find the answer on his own. Jenson said, "Obviously, it's because Grandpa Jacob doesn't want Faith to become an Ares. I've been thinking about this reason for a long time now, but I haven't figured it out. However, I seem to have a rough idea of everything. Before the Ares family's illegitimate children can enter the Ares family tree, they'll need to undergo genetic testing. Grandpa Jacob

doesn't want everyone to see Faith's test result..."

Jay looked at Jenson in admiration and complimented, "You're wise. Keep talking."

Jenson's face became solemn as he said, "There's only one reason for this. Faith's genetic results would show the discrepancy between her and the Ares family... which would infer that Grandpa Jacob is also not the Ares family's son."

The result was beyond anyone's expectations.

Jay said, "Jens, your speculation is reasonable but very bold. So now the only thing to do is verify whether your speculation is true."

"I understand."

When Jenson was leaving, Jay suddenly stopped him. "Jens?"

Jenson stopped and turned around. "Is there anything else, Daddy?"

A gloomy expression appeared on Jay's handsome face. "What are you going to do to your Grandpa Jacob?"

Jenson was slightly startled. He noticed that Daddy still cared about Grandpa Jacob, and Daddy felt aggrieved over the crime Grandpa Jacob had gotten himself involved in.

Jenson said, "I'll collect evidence and hand it to the police for processing, Daddy."

Jay looked at Jenson's staunch face. He suddenly felt that Jenson was more suitable to be the head of the household than him or Grand Old Master Ares. The reason was that Jens was sensible enough that family bonds would not fetter him.

He did not try to dissuade Jenson. On the contrary, he supported Jens' decision, saying, "Just do in accordance with what you've planned. But try to plead for leniency in court for the sake of your greatgrandfather."

Jenson nodded. "I got it."

In order to verify Jacob and Grand Old Master Ares' blood relationship, Jenson commissioned the grand old master's personal servant to get his hair. Then, he sent it over to the genetic testing center together with Jacob's hair.

Very quickly, the results of Jacob and Grand Old Master Ares' genetic test were out.

Once Jenson saw the test results, he was still too stumped for words for quite some time although he had already expected it.

He then took the test results with him and came to Mammoth Courtyard.

Jacob had been living in fear and trepidation for the past few days, so he was on guard as soon as he laid eyes on Jenson.

"Why are you here?" Jacob asked Jenson coldly.

It was as if Jenson was walking into his own house. He sat on the sofa in the living room and crossed his legs over the other. At such a young age, he was already so experienced and knowledgeable that he had such a profound tyrannical temperament.

Chapter 2058

Chapter 2058

Even the Ghost members who came with him, Grayson and Storm, were secretly pondering upon seeing Jenson acting in such a way. 'Perhaps when this little devil grows up, he'll have an even more

aweinspiring presence than Sir Ares? Will he be oozing with deterrence?'

"I know you don't welcome me, Grandpa Jacob. Because to you, I'm your worst nightmare," said Jenson as he picked up the cup of coffee in front of him and drank it unceremoniously. His movements were extremely elegant.

Jacob was furious at Jenson's arrogance. After all, he was still his grandfather while Jenson was his grandson. The lad was two generations behind him, but for some reason, this boy gave him an extreme sense of coercion. He was able to make Jacob feel his blood go cold. Jacob was also creeped out as if their ranking in terms of seniority had been reversed.

"What are you trying to say?" Jacob asked with a guilty conscience.

Jenson said, "I know that you have a secret you've hidden for decades. And this secret makes you feel extremely uneasy. Hence, you've also been walking on very thin ice every day in the Ares household, afraid o

f being discovered by others."

Jacob's face turned pale as he said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Jenson threw the genetic test results in front of Jacob and said, "It's time to fess up, Grandpa Jacob."

When Jacob saw the genetic test report stating that the parent-child relationship between Jacob Ares and Dylan Ares could not be established, his whole body turned limp. He fell onto the sofa. "How'd you find out?" Jacob asked in a murmur.

Jenson said, "Faith is your daughter, but you refused to let her enter the Ares family. That's because illegitimate children must undergo genetic testing to enter the Ares family. Since our family's genetic testing is very comprehensive, it'd be clear at a single glance whether the child is an Ares descendant."

After a pause, he continued, "You were afraid that when Faith did her genetic test, it'd reveal that you're not an Ares. So you'd rather sacrifice your daughter."

Jacob looked at Jenson in horror. He had been utterly unconvinced before and wondered why the grand old master gave up on so many experienced sons as well as his youthful, wise, and farsighted grandsons to select this underaged great-grandson Jenson to be the head of Ares household. Jacob had never truly accepted him and even despised Jenson very much. Yet he never expected that in just a month after Jenson took charge, he had suffered a crushing

defeat."

"You're much more formidable than your dad, Jenson," said Jacob.

Jenson corrected him, "You're wrong, Grandpa Jacob. I don't have my daddy's wisdom. It's just that I'm much crueler than my dad."

Jacob looked at Jenson dubiously and asked, "Why do you say so?"

Jenson said, "My daddy knew that once the mistresses and illegitimate children entered Tourmaline Estate, it'll inevitably cause turbulence and a perilous situation to arise. Being fully aware of this, he drove the Yorks family out of the Ares household and sent my sister and Grandma Boye away in advance. My daddy's planning strategies are truly unmatched.”

Jacob was so shocked that he could not say a word for quite some time.

It turned out that Jay had always known that the family members from the other branches were by no means kind. However, he merely took defensive measures and did not take the initiative to attack them. It was not that he was foolish but that he was giving them a chance.

Jenson said, "Grandpa Jacob, you conspired to murder Grandma Charlotte and turned it into a homicide case. Even my daddy can't stand watching it anymore."

Jenson stood up and said, "You weren't an Ares from the start, but you bathed in the glory and wealth of the Ares family. However, not only were you discontented, but you even became greedy for more. This is the evil that you've brought upon yourself."

After Jenson said this, he walked out of the house.

Grayson and Storm naturally followed Jenson out.

Jacob howled after losing control of his emotions," Arghhh!"

As Jenson walked out of Mammoth Courtyard, he said to the policemen who had been waiting outside, "He's a little old now, so please watch out."

However, when the police rushed in, Jacob picked up a sharp knife and placed it on his neck.

 

Chapter 2059

Chapter 2059

"Put down the knife, Grandpa Jacob."

Suddenly, there was a commotion coming from the living room.

Jenson glanced back at him with a deep, profound gaze.

"Since you knew that this day would come, why'd you do it anyway?" Jenson asked.

Jacob made the last effort to struggle, saying, "I want to see the grand old master."

"Put the knife down first, Old Master. Then we'll convey your wishes."

Very soon, Grand Old Master Ares found out about the matters happening in Mammoth Courtyard.

However, Grand Old Master Ares was very disappointed with Jacob's conduct and deeds, so he was unwilling to see him. He simply entrusted Jay to step forth and make arrangements for Jacob in his stead. Hence, Jay came to Mammoth Courtyard instead of the grand old master.

When Jacob noticed that Jay had come alone, he was thoroughly dejected and asked, "Where's my dad? Why

aren't you letting him come see me?" Jacob roared hysterically.

Jay said, "It's not that we didn't let him come, Second Uncle Jacob, but he didn't want to. Grandpa said that your conduct and deeds have truly bitterly disappointed him. Even though you're not his biological child, the Ares family still supported you for so many years in extreme benevolence. However, this is the end of your ties with the Ares family."

Jacob was begging to see the grand old master for one purpose alone to beg the grand old master not to discriminate against his children because of his own affairs. However, listening to Jay's speech, he gave up on all hope.

He shed tears of repentance and despair, saying," What does he mean by that? He doesn't want me anymore? Is that it? Then... what about all my shares in the Ares family? Will he confiscate all of them? And how about my children? How will he deal with them?"

Jay said resentfully, "What's the matter with you? Are you still asking about the Ares family's assets at such a time? Do you know what Grandpa said to me earlier? He said that if you truly repented and turned over a new leaf, he'd surely treat you and your children with lenience. But if you failed to repent until the very end, then you shouldn't blame him for getting rid of every single one of you."

Jacob's old body started trembling.

When he planned out his life, he merely wanted nothing more than to seek a bright future for his offspring. However, he never expected that all of his plots would fall through and he would stand exposed when he was already old and frail.

The Ares family's glory and welfare that he had benefited from and wanted to protect suddenly came down, collapsing like a huge building.

"Jay, for the sake of our uncle and nephew relationship all these years, please give my child a decent life," said Jacob as he tumbled down and knelt i n front of Jay.

Jay's handsome face was cold as he asked, "Your child? Which one?"

Jacob replied, "Faith."

Jay's face turned utterly dark as he scoffed. "Second Uncle, have you not thought of Jasper and his siblings?"

Jacob retorted, "Their mother has accumulated a lot of assets during her lifetime and she must have made many plans for them, but Faith is different. If the Ares family stops caring for her, she'll have nothing." Jay said with a cold smile, "Did you say Faith has nothing? At least she has a mother who's still alive. Jasper and his siblings have lost their mother and now their father as well. Aren't you worried about them?' Jay became angrier by the second. "Second Uncle, you're heartless toward your first wife and legitimate children, yet you have no problem playing favorites with Madam Nephele. You're clearly provoking the Ares family's moral limits..."

Jacob replied, "Jasper and Jo have both established themselves well, and Julia has a good boyfriend.

There's no need for me to worry about them."

Jay said, "You've transferred all of Second Aunt's assets abroad and left nothing for Jasper and his siblings. How do you expect them to survive with their families in the future?" Jacob was dumbfounded.

He thought that everything he had done was so well hidden, yet he never expected that Jay was one bit deceived.

"How do you know about this?"

Chapter 2060

Jay said to him, "Don't forget that I'm a hacker. The channels for the outflow of the Ares family's funds have long been monitored."

Jacob started to panic. "Then the second branch's assets..."

Jay said, "Were you not transferring them out for Madam Nephele? Unfortunately, I intercepted them all. Grandpa said that Second Aunt has worked hard in the Ares family for many years, so she deserves credit for her efforts. Her share was left intact and will be rationed to her three children. As for yours, they'll be confiscated."

All of Jacob's efforts had vanished into thin air.

"Jay, please. Give Faith something to survive on as well."

"Faith is not an Ares. So my apologies, I can't lend her a hand." After saying this, Jay decided to leave.

Jacob sat devastatingly on the ground.

Then, the police came in to take Jacob away.

At this moment, Chateau de Selene was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

When Jay returned to debrief Grand Old Master Ares,

the grand old master asked him, "Did he have hints of repentance?"

A trace of resentment flashed across Jay's eyes, yet he said, "The man spoke kindly toward the end."

Grand Old Master Ares snorted furiously. "Stop lying to me. Don't you think I know what kind of person he is?"

Jay uttered, "Grandpa, even adoptive sons are considered one's true son. In the eyes of the law, he also has the right to inherit the Ares family's assets. Second Uncle was worried about his illegitimate daughter, Faith, so why don't we..."

Grand Old Master Ares interrupted in anger, "He knew from the start that he's not an Ares, yet he continued to deceive me for so many years. I can't forgive him for his lies. I know that you treasure family relationships, JJ, but this is your second uncle's fault for courting disaster. Stop putting in good words for that man."

Jay smiled and said, "I wasn't trying to help him, Grandpa. But in my view, the children are innocent here. There's no need to eradicate them and evict all of them out of the Ares household."

Grand Old Master Ares grew slight compassion for them and asked, "Then how do you propose we handle the children from the second family?"

Jay said, "It'll depend on you, Grandpa. If you're determined to sever your relationship with Second Uncle, then Jasper and the others can only work in

Ares Group as normal employees. But if you're-"

Before Jay could finish his sentence, the grand old master raised his hand and beckoned Jay to stop. He said, "Stop. How could I, Dylan Ares, tolerate my own wife cheating on me?" Hence, Jay knew that the grand old master was determined to sever the relationship between him and Jacob.

"No matter what kind of choices you'll make, I'll respect you for it, Grandpa."

Grand Old Master Ares nodded at him.

He was also mentally tormented from this, so he looked as though he had grown a lot older in a single night. However, the matter was not over just yet.

When Jasper and his siblings found out that the only assets they could allocate were the shares left by Madam Charlotte and that their father's shares had been confiscated, all of them were huffing in anger.

As such, they clamored to see the grand old master, hoping that he would be fair toward them.

After Jay found out about this incident, he merely said, "Idiot troublemakers."

Jay came over to stop them from making a scene and said, "Grandpa isn't in good health so stop stirring up problems for him."

Jasper scoffed. "What right do you have to confiscate all of my dad's assets, Big Brother? He went to jail, so it should be allocated to us instead."

Jay walked toward Jasper, gritting his teeth while saying, "Because, in your father's will, he didn't distribute any of his assets to you three siblings."
