Chapter 2351

Joseph nodded at Zayne obediently. "Okay."

A touch of disappointment flashed across Zayne's eyes. He initially thought that he could make use of his son by making him feel reluctant to part with him. Perhaps Josie would feel moved and allow him to stay by their side.

It was just that Joseph was not particularly close to him.

Zayne suddenly felt sorrowful as he was not a responsible and patient father. He seemed to be someone dispensable in his son's eyes.

Tears welled up in Zayne's eyes. He placed Joseph down before leaving in despair.

Angeline looked over at Zayne's desolated back. It would be a lie to say that she did not feel sorry for him. However, she knew that he must accept the punishment for having an affair. He needed to have a readjustment period from having done such a thing.

Jay looked at Josie's stiff expression and Angelina's sorrowed look. He sighed weakly in his heart.

It seemed like he had to end this situation soon enough. Otherwise, both Josie and Angeline would not live well.

Jay soon devised a strategy. He elegantly sat on the

sofa in the living room and said to Josie, "Jose, is there any chance that you and Zayne will get back together?"

Josie shook his head and said chokingly, "How do we get back together after that? Jay, whenever I think of him betraying my belief in being with one person for the rest of our lives, I simply think that he's not worthy of my love. I can't accept such a vulgar person."

Jay nodded and said, "Since it's impossible for you and Zayne, then you don't have to indulge yourself in pain, unable to extricate yourself. I'll introduce you to a new man. How about it?" Zayne, who was standing outside the door, happened to hear Jay's words and his complexion grew pale.

Josie shook her head and refused, "Can't I live the rest of my life alone, Jay? Men can't be trusted, so I won't be relying on any more men. Believe me when I say that I can live a good life alone."

Jay had an ulterior motive for doing this. He wanted to give Josie and Zayne potent medicine. Then, he coerced her by saying, "The other party is a young talented man who just came to Imperial Capital. His ability and appearance are all top-notch. He's extremely worthy of you. Pull yourself together. I'll take you over to see him tomorrow."

Jay's words sounded somewhat threatening.

Josie was immensely dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Angeline looked at Jay suspiciously. She was about to intercede for Josie, but when she caught a glimpse of the smirk on Jay's lips, everything became clear to Angeline.

Angeline played along with Jay and

said, "Jose, your brother is doing this for your own good. You should find a good man to get married to while you're still young. At least you'l have someone close by your side when you're older."

Although Josie was being compelled by her sister-in-law, she still felt incredibly upset. The two were overbearing, and Josie felt that she was unable to hold her ground. "I'll think about it," said Josie in a low voice.

At this moment, Zayne was collapsing on the wall outside the door.

He was severely lacking in the past. He thought that since he was handsome and rich, and there were many women who liked him, he had the right to be proud and arrogant.

Now, after Jay and Angeline had taught him a lesson, it turned out that he was actually nothing in their eyes. At the very least, he was not comparable to those young talents who started their own businesses.

When Jay walked out, he cast a profound glance at Zayne's ashen face.

"You haven't left?" He pretended to be startled.

Zayne glared at him with slight hostility. "Why do you

want to separate me and Josie?"

Jay replied, "Did I do that? Zayne, you and Josie have already split."

In order to teach the arrogant Zayne a lesson, Jay said viciously, "Zayne, if it weren't because Josie liked you do you think I would have agreed to your marriage? Take a good look at yourself. You're irresponsible toward your family and are unwilling to share any workload with Josie. All in all, you're utterly useless."

Chapter 2352

Chapter 2352

"Zayne, you're not content with being mediocre, but you're not a person meant to do big things. You've wasted most of your life and to put it bluntly, you're just a burden to others."

Jay's words hit Zayne like a heavy hammer. He was the young master of the Severe family. The majority of the time, he would be receiving flattery from others. He had never truly known how to position himself.

Jay's short sentence seemed to have woken Zayne up from a dream.

He drooped his head and reflected on himself very seriously. "I know that I was in the wrong, and I'll change. From now on, I'll try my best to split the housework with Josie. I'll start with small things and won't bite off more than I can chew. Please, Jay, give me a chance. Don't introduce Josie to a new boyfriend."

Hearing Zayne's remorse, Jay thought it did sound somewhat genuine. The guy seemed like he was serious about turning over a new leaf. He just needed more experience.

Jay said with a cold face, "You've always been good with words, Zayne. You can fool others, but you can't fool Josie. I'll be watching your progress. If I'm not satisfied with you after a month, Josie will remarry someone else."

Zayne suddenly became more anxious.

He thought about how he had to behave well now.

It was up to the extent that he actually set up a tent at the courtyard of Josie's Flying Moon Cottage, preparing to provide 24-hour service to Josie.

Every morning, Josie would wake up with a steaming hot breakfast.

Zayne would also wash her and their child's dirty laundry and dry them out.

When Josie was sending Joseph to school, Zayne would tag along like a piece of chewing gum, trailing right behind her.

Josie still hated and resented him, so she did not talk to Zayne.

Hence, Zayne remained silent while looking for a chance to talk to Josie.

When Josie was on her way back, Zayne dashed forward while pestering her over and over again. He was trying to express his true feelings to Josie. "I know that you don't want to look at me, Jose. You can just treat me like your pet now. I can do all of the chores for you and Joseph. Just think of it as atonement for my crime."

When he was being so humble, Josie could feel that her heart was softening up slightly. However, whenever she thought of Zayne's unforgivable mistake, she continued to sternly ignore him.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Jens

would go to school during the day and take Whitney out in the evening. Ultimately, they finally bumped into Savannah.

Savannah saw Jenson and Whitney standing side by side in front of her. With Whitney's incredibly beautiful; appearance, the layer of frost on Jens' face seemed to have melted due to Whitney's smile. He looked so gentle that it made Savannah's heart feel like it was being stabbed.

"Who is she, Jens?" Savannah pointed at Whitney and asked.

Whitney took the initiative to link her arm around Jens' and asserted her dominance. "I'm Jens' girlfriend." Savannah's eyes turned red in an instant.

"I don't believe you."

Then, Whitney held Jens' cheeks and kissed him on the lips.

Savannah was dumbfounded. In the past, Jenson would often let a lot of girls impersonate his girlfriends, but they only kissed him on the cheek and forehead.

Whitney was the first to actually kiss him on the lips.

"I'd like a fair competition," Savannah challenged Whitney with reddened eyes and a choking voice.

Whitney laughed and said, "Why bother competing with me? Jens has a twin brother who looks exactly

like him. Why don't you go after him instead?"

Savannah's eyes were filled with astonishment.

"Twin brother?"

Whitney nodded. "That's right. The one with the sweetest smile?"

Jens watched on as Whitney sold Robbie out. He was actually not planning on stopping her.

Chapter 2353

Chapter 2353

Savannah looked at Jens suspiciously as an inexplicable sense of anxiety filled her eyes. She muttered, "I only remember that my master said that my true destiny is someone cold and who never smiles. Since Jens' brother has a cheerful and lively personality, he's clearly not the one I'm looking for."

Whitney smiled and said, "Little girl, you've never even met Jens before this, nor have you seen Baby Robbie. You merely heard from your master that your prince charming is a cold, harsh man. Have you ever thought that perhaps your master is wrong? After all, destiny is not something static. It may change over time."

Savannah said confidently, "My master has high morality and is virtuous. He'd never lie to me."

Jens stood aside looking helpless.

Whitney decided to pull Jens aside and whispered, "Do you believe her words, Jens?"

Jenson merely told her as it was, "Truthfully, it's somewhat bizarre. She was right several times."

Whitney would never believe in Savannah's little fortune-telling predestined affinity argument. In her opinion, she and Jens were childhood sweethearts, so they were the ones meant for each other. Savannah was trying to tear them apart, but Whitney

would never let her succeed.

There was a flash in Whitney's intelligent eyes as she said to Jens, "Well I don't believe it. I have to go looking for Savannah's master and find out how sacred that old fortune-teller truly is. He's clearly out there scamming people."

Whitney went back to Savannah and folded her arms together before asking, "Little girl, since your master is oh-so amazing, I wonder if you can refer me to him? I have a difficult question plaguing me and I was hoping that your master can solve it for me."

Savannah's face appeared distressed. "My master has taken refuge in religious life. He won't see anyone under normal circumstances."

Whitney began taunting her instead. "Hmph. Since your master is such a religious person, he should save those of us who are confused. If he's so unwilling to meet visitors, perhaps he's just a quack who's deliberately mystifying himself."

Savannah was furious as she yelled, "You're not to speak ill of my master! If you want to see my master s o badly, I'll ask my master's advice beforehand and give you an answer soon enough!" After saying her piece, Savannah turned to walk away while fuming.

Looking at Savannah's angry expression, Jenson's eyes darkened slightly. He said, "It's rare for her to get so angry, Whitty. You sure are something else to be

able to drive her away so quickly."

Whitney patted on Jens' shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Jens. Even though I'm great at infuriating someone, they won't die from it Plus, I'll never try to anger you want you to live happily every day. I want you to live a long life."

Jens began to smile brightly again.

Jay and Angeline had hired many doctors for Roxie, but after these doctors did a check-up on her, they all showed helpless expressions.

"Sir Ares, Miss Roxie's legs were eroded by the poison. I'm afraid there isn't a possibility of her standing up again."

When Angeline heard the grievous news, she immediately slumped into Sir Ares' arms. She could not help but sob in a low voice.

Roxie was lying on the hospital bed. Seeing Angeline feeling so distressed for her, she inexplicably felt warm in her heart. "Mommy..." she whispered.

Angeline walked over to Roxie with her flushed eyes.

Roxie wiped Angeline's tears away and said gently," Don't be sad, Mommy. This is my life and there's no one to blame for it."

Angeline hugged her, patted her frail

back, and consoled her. "Roxie, Mommy will not give up trying to find a way to treat you, so you must promise me that you'll never give up on yourself."

Roxie nodded. "Don't worry, Mommy. I've experienced a lot of suffering in this life. In comparison to the first half of my life, I'm incredibly happy now. I've never given up on living before, and I'll definitely not give up now."

Chapter 2354

Chapter 2354

Angeline was truly moved by Roxie's strength.

Meanwhile, Roxie's face was filled with happiness at being able to lie in Mommy's arms. Perhaps because of the fear of death, Roxie opened up her heart and told Mommy about her childhood.

"Mommy, I have a secret that I've been keeping in the bottom of my heart. I was planning on taking it with me to the grave, but I suddenly changed my mind."

Angeline said softly, "Are you going to tell me about it?"

"Yeah."

"I'll listen, Roxie. Take it easy."

Hence, Roxie started telling Angeline about it.

"I was actually over five years old when I was abducted by human traffickers. However, since I was small and frail due to being malnourished for a long time, traffickers mistakenly thought I was just a three or four-year-old child. They firmly believed that when I grew up, I would forget about my parents and would not cause trouble to the organization, so they never put their guards up against me.

"After entering the organization, I was finally able to fill my stomach up and wear warm clothes, so I naturally preferred to forget about my bitter past.

When I was in the military intelligence division, our foster father might've thought that I had established a true father-daughter relationship with him, so he trusted me.

"However, I had never forgotten about the part where I was abducted and sold off, so I knew he was a two-faced person. As a result, I remained obedient while still keeping my guard up against him." Angeline felt her heart getting sore as she listened to the child's story about her life.

A five-year-old child being so clever meant that she must have seen quite a lot to have the ability to discern what someone was thinking about based on their body language. She quietly waited for Roxie's next sentence.

Then, Roxie's soft voice dug into Angeline's heart little by little.

"I will always remember my real name, my home, and my biological parents. Although I remember them, I don't want to look for them because I know they don't love me."

As Roxie was saying these words, tears could not stop streaming down her face.

Angeline knew very well that Roxie was a strong girl. For her to cry in this manner merely showed that her biological family had done a great deal of harm to her. Angeline became a silent listener and never once tried

to chime in.

Roxie continued, "I think it was when

I was three that my father brought back a young and beautiful lady one day. He told me that she would be my new mother from now on. In my memory, my mother had always been on her sickbed, but on that day, she struggled to get up and began waving her fists to beat my dad up.

"She cursed at my dad with the worst possible words one could hear, and my dad did not hold back either. He slapped her fiercely a couple of times. Then, he left with the woman and never came back.

"My mother and I depended on each other. Since my mother couldn't get out of bed, our neighbors would give us something every day. Sometimes, my mother would get so hungry that she would ask me to go from house to house to beg for food."

When Roxie was talking about this, her eyes were completely flushed and her voice sounded choked up.

"In the beginning, there were kind uncles and aunties who would give us food, but sometimes, the things they gave me weren't suitable for my sick mother. So my mom would insult me and make me kneel down, saying that I'm not filial. She said I was only taking food that suited my palate.

"At that time, I was too young and didn't know what my mother liked to eat, so I was often beaten up by her. Over time, our neighbors started resenting my mother. They would only invite me into their house fo dinner and not give me any food to bring back home.

Whenever my mother found out, she would make me take my clothes off and kneel on the ground. When it was cold in winter, I would often get sick.

"I still remember that I got fever

once and it was exceptionally horrible. I cried and wanted my mother to hug me but she would push me away. I would crawl over again without giving up. Even after I crawled to her over and over again, my mother would push me away all the same. Finally, my heart became cold and I lost consciousness."

Chapter 2355

Chapter 2355

Angeline's heart became tighter listening to Roxie's story about her childhood. It was the kind of numbing pain that pierced into her soul, heart, liver, and even her lungs. Angeline held onto Roxie tightly as if she was holding a newborn baby. She pressed her weak head into her arms. Roxie's tears were pouring like heavy rain that kept on flowing.

Angeline looked at Roxie, who was getting weaker and weaker because of her illness. She felt even more sorry for her. "You have to listen to Mommy, Roxie. You have to be strong and survive this hurdle. Then you'll have endless happiness in the future."

Roxie suddenly said softly, "I'd like to see them, Mommy."

Angeline knew that Roxie was referring to her parents. Although she hated her heartless parents who had no sense of responsibility, it was still Roxie's wish. Hence, Angeline said to Roxie, "Alright, sure. Mommy will look for them."

After settling Roxie down, Angeline walked out with red eyes.

When Jay saw Angeline's expression, he knew that she had just been done crying. He wiped her tears away in distress. After Roxie got hurt, Angeline's heart

was always on the brink of a breakdown. She would feel the same way toward any of her children.

Jay was deeply moved by Angeline's great and boundless love, but he felt distressed over Angeline's health. He tactfully persuaded Angeline by saying, "Leave Roxie's matter to me, Angeline. You're not in good health and shouldn't be so emotional. Think about it, if your anxiety relapses and triggers your somatization disorder, who'll take care of Roxie and the others? Before you show love to your children, you must first love yourself."

Angeline plunged into Jay's arms and sobbed uncontrollably. She said in a choked up manner, "Our Roxie lived such a terrible life in the past, darling."

Jay said, "I know, I heard it all from out here. Don't worry. I'll find a way to look for Baby Zetty and she'll know of a way to cure Roxie's disease. I'll make sure Roxie stands up again. She'll be happy and healthy for the rest of her life."

With Jay's solemn vow, Angeline's pain from earlier was slightly more relieved.

Inside the ward, after listening to Jay and Angeline's conversation, Roxie stopped crying and started laughing again.

She thought to herself that God was quite fair to her. Although her biological parents treated her badly, God bestowed her such great adoptive parents.

She was already satisfied with this.

Jay actually found out information.

about Roxie's past years ago. It was just that she was a little resistant to acknowledging her parents back then, so Jay wanted to wait as she slowly accepted them.

At the time, Jay merely thought that the sisters were young when they were abducted and perhaps they could not remember their biological parents. Plus, they were unwilling to be separated from each other He had always respected the children's decision, so he did not forcefully

send them away.

He never expected that Roxie refused to see her biological parents because they did not love her at all. She did not have the confidence and was unwilling to bother them.

It was also no wonder that the parents of several other sisters would contact their children on holidays but Roxie's parents never showed.

Jay called Jenson over and said, "Head over to the Banners family's house and invite Charles Banners to visit Tourmaline Estate."

Jens was astonished by this. For these sorts of tasks, Daddy could ask any one of his men to make the trip. Since Daddy was asking him to go, this only showed that this person might not be cooperative.

Charles Banners?

Howard Banners' cousin!

He had a past with the Ares family. Many years ago, when Jay's whereabouts were unknown and

Angeline was suffering from

somatization disorder, the Banne

attempted to seize the Ares family's property. The entire family was then uprooted by Jenson.

Chapter 2356

Chapter 2356

However, Charles' position in the Banners household was not that high up because his father was merely the illegitimate son of the Banners family. The son of a n illegitimate child simply had no rankings in the Banners family.

Hence, Charles, who lacked status from birth, lived a life of poverty even though he was born in a wealthy family. Every time he witnessed the other Banners children eating well, dressing well, and attending the best schools, his heart grew distorted.

When he grew up, because of his poor financial background and self-consciousness, he made the decision to marry a woman from a small family. Unexpectedly, not long after his marriage, he had a realization that in terms of his career, he could rely on the title of being a young master from the Banners family to find himself a good job.

He gradually became wealthier, then turned a blind eye to his sickly wife. Furthermore, Charles looked rather handsome and was soon taken a liking to by a lady from a rich family. After the two started hooking up, he ruthlessly abandoned his sickly wife and young daughter.

Although karma should be real, Charles received no retribution at all. He made a fortune by relying on his wife, and his life merely got better. Now, he was a civil

servant with a public position.

This was Charles Banners' entire life, and Jens had read about it a few years back. It was just that he had no clue how Charles was doing now.

Jens accepted the task and said, "Okay, Daddy. I'll definitely bring him here."

Jay added, "Other than Charles Banners, there's someone else you need to get.'

Jens had already guessed that these people were Roxie's parents.

"Lumia Towle, right?"

Jay showed Jens an expression filled with admiration. "Not bad. Yes, she's your Sis Roxie's mother."

Jenson grew a little curious. Sis Roxie had never mentioned her parents before. Why did she suddenly want to see them?

"Is Roxie alright, Daddy?"

Jay said, "Don't overthink it. Roxie's fine. It's just that in the past two days, she's become ill. When your mommy was staying with her and chatting with her, Six told your mommy that she wants to see her parents."

Jenson nodded at this. "I see."

Hence, Jenson came to Charles' house while accompanied by Whitney.

It was a detached villa that was decorated particularly gorgeously. The value of the house would perhaps not be less than 15 million dollars. This made Jenson sigh sorrowfully. Charles was truly an unkind person. How could he live his life so extravagantly without longing for his daughter who was cast away?

Jenson still had no idea how bizarre, cold-hearted, and cruel Roxie's parents were. At this moment, he merely had a slight resentment toward Charles.

Since it was an abrupt visit, Jenson endured his resentment and

to the door to ring the doorbeer quite some time, the butler came out to open the door.

The butler was startled to see Jens through the hollowed-out metal door. It was perhaps because their family usually did not entertain any guests.

However, seeing how well-dressed

Jens and Whitney were, along with their grand temperaments, the butler did not dare to send them away so quickly. He asked Jens politely, "Who are you looking for?"

"Charles Banner," said Jenson coldly.

With that cold tone of his, no one would ever suspect that he was a child who just reached puberty.

The old butler asked again, "And who might you be?"

Jenson pondered. Since he overturned the Banners, they should hate him very much. Fearing that Charles would refuse to see him, he turned to Whitney instead.

Whitney tacitly understood him and replied, "Tell him that Whitney Cornelius from the North Capital Military Academy would like to see him."

The butler eagerly went back into the house.

Not long after, the butler came out again. He opened the door for Jens and Whitney.

Hence, Jens and Whitney strutted in.

Chapter 2357

Chapter 2357

When Jenson and Whitney entered the hall, they heard the gloomy voice of Charles' wife saying, "What military academy is she talking about? Charles Banners, don't you try to fool me. In my opinion, she's

clearly a vixen you're having an affair with..."

Before she could finish her words, a silver needle flew over and pricked her lips.

Madam Banners collapsed to the floor in fright, her eyes looking straight at the silver needle.

Then, Whitney's sharp and clear voice sounded." Madam, don't start assuming that this rotten old husband of yours is a treasure that everyone will fancy. Your taste and preferences don't represent the masses, Madam. I only like a man like this one."

Then, Whitney held Jenson's hand affectionately. Jenson usually disliked it when a girl approached him or touched him. Yet, he was not at all repulsed by Whitney's physical touches.

Madam Banners looked over at Whitney. She thought that although the girl was stunning, she was simply aggressive and not the type a man could easily tame.

Afterward, she looked at Jens beside Whitney and was immensely taken aback. Madam Banners instantly knew that her conjecture earlier was a humiliation to the other party.

Although she felt sorry in her heart, it was still her house. Since the visitors were not kind, she was still upset over it.

She pulled the silver needle out with a gloomy face and then said coldly, "So who are you people?"

She was just a woman who had zero clue about the business world, but it was impossible for Charles not to know Jenson. After all, it was Jenson who destroyed the Banners family back then. Charles explained to his wife, "He's Jenson Ares, the person who brought my uncles down in the past. He turned the entire Banners household upside down."

Madam Banners looked at Jens from head to toe. The lad was so young, and he was clearly a small child a few years ago. She suddenly admired Jenson very much for his outstanding capabilities. Then, she thought to herself, 'If I can make this boy m y son-in-law, I'll be set forever.'

"To what do I owe the pleasure of Young Master Jens' visit?" Charles felt nothing toward the Banners who abandoned him, but he still harbored a little bit of hatred for Jens who ruined the Banners household. Hence, his tone was particularly cold.

Jens was still standing upright at the moment as the couple did not invite him to sit down.

Whitney felt sorry for Jens, so she pulled the tallest custom-made chair in the hall over and smiled as she

said, "Sit here, Jens."

Jens glanced at her and smiled.

Then, he sat down without asking for permission.

Jenson crossed his legs over

elegantly and looked at Charles in an imposing manner. Then, he slowly saido Do you remember how many marriages you had, Mr. Banners?"

Charles narrowed his sharp eyes, feeling a little annoyed at Jens' question.

"Young Master Ares, you're not here to interrogate me in my own house, are you?"

Madam Banners tugged at Charles' arm, suggesting that he should show some respect to Jens.

"Of course, this is the only marriage I've been in," said Charles impatiently.

"Oh? An eminent person sure has a short memory. Mr. Banners, I can't believe you've forgotten all about your first wife and the daughter you had with her."

Charles stood up suddenly and yelled in anger, "Why on earth are you here today, Jenson Ares?"

Seeing how stirred up the man was upon hearing about his first wife and their daughter, Jenson could not help but sympathize with Sis Six more and more.

Jenson stared intently at the animal-like father who abandoned his child.

"Why are you so stirred up from hearing about your wife and child, Mr. Banners?" Jens curled his lips and said sarcastically.

Charles sullenly said, "What kind of

society are we living in here? There are so many others who remarry after a divorce. Why don't you go and interrogate them, Young Master Ares? You chose to come to my house and question my past instead. What exactly is your intention?"

Chapter 2358

Chapter 2358

Jens' handsome eyes instantly froze. "Mr. Banners, even if other people get a divorce and remarry, they're able to mention and face their past wives and children calmly. Yet you're flying into a rage out of humiliation from just hearing about your former wife and the child you had together. What's the reason for this?"

"What does it have anything to do with you?" Charles angrily asked again.

"Me? Well, I'm bored and I like being nosy nowadays. For those who abandon young children like that, I just want to redress the grievances on behalf of those innocent children," said Jenson casually. Charles was fuming.

At this point in his life, he was someone who had power and respect. If a scandal about him abandoning his child was exposed, his future would be ruined.

"Who the f*ck told you that I abandoned my child?" Charles quibbled. "Back when I divorced her mother, her mother was the one who forcefully took her away. I was helplessly separated from the child as well.' Facing Charles' refute, Jenson remained composed and countered all of his words, "I heard that you hit your former wife and cheated on her with another woman?"

Charles' eyes that were looking at Jenson almost burst into flames. "Just tell me why on earth are you here?!"

Jenson raised his eyes and looked at Whitney. She understood and took out the evidence prepared in advance about Charles abandoning his wife and child. She threw it in front of Charles.

Jenson said condescendingly, "Say, Mr. Banners, if the evidence were to go public, would you end up the same as your ex-wife? Will you be devastated, develop a violent temper, and ultimately jump off a building from depression?"

Charles finally knew how cunning, wise, and farsighted the boy in front of him was. He had planned ahead and was able to plan victory from a thousand miles away.

"So your reason for coming today isn't because you're sticking your nose up in everyone's business, am I right? You're just concerned over my family matters." Charles was still bright, after all.

Jenson finally stated his purpose for coming. "Your daughter, Roxie Banners, is the Ares family's Sis Six. She has a good personality. My daddy and mommy have always regarded her as their own." Charles' sharp eyes were shining brightly and seemed to be plotting something.

Madam Banners did not mince her words either Goodness me! Our

Roxie actually has such a prospect now? Didn't you always plan on taking Roxie home, darling? Over the years Roxie has always been a source of remorse in your heart

Now that we've found her, we should

bring her back, right?"

Charles was a little dumbfounded, but soon, he knew the reason for his wife's change of heart. She wanted to borrow this opportunity to gain connections with the Ares family. This was indeed a shortcut for their family to quickly obtain riches and honor.

Charles eased his expression and said with a smile," Since Roxie is now in the Ares household and so near to her biological father, there's no reason for me to abandon my daughter. I have to go and get her back. In the future, I'll take good care of my daughter and make up for the regret I've been facing all these years."

Jenson was not convinced that such a superficial and despicable man who took advantage of others could be the father of the upright, selfless, brave, and kind-hearted Sis Six.

Jenson immediately set him straight

by saying, "Don't think that I'm

unaware of your little plan, Charles Banners. I'll put it bluntly, Six is the Ares family's Sis Six. The Banners e have nothing to do with the Areses s o don't expect to take advantage of Sis Six's influence to achieve your selfish desires. Also, if you people dare to covet the wealth that the Ares family gave to Sis Six, I'll definitely make you live a life worse than death."

This sentence immediately made the couple's complexions turn ugly.

In order to prevent the couple from treating Roxie coldly in the face of zero benefits, Jenson added a meaningful sentence, "However, what Sis Six does with her assets is entirely up to her."

Chapter 2359

Chapter 2359

Jens' words rekindled the hope inside the estranged parents' hearts.

They thought that as long as they treated Roxie a little better, they might be able to change her mind about them. If Roxie was willing to listen to them, she would become a chess piece in their hands and would be entirely up to their disposal.

Charles immediately smiled and said to Jens, "Young Master Ares, Roxie is my daughter. All of the wrongs I did to her in the past were merely because I didn't know her whereabouts. Now that I know she's still alive, as her father, I'll do everything to make up for my mistakes. I'd like to take my child back now. I'll treat her well in the future."

Jenson looked at him coldly and said, "How about going back to the Ares family's house for now to visit her? As for whether she wants to go home with you or not, that's an entirely different matter." "Alright, of course," Charles responded quickly.

Madam Banners and Charles quickly got a few of their things and rode in their own car while following Jenson's from behind. They soon came to Chateau de Selene in Tourmaline Estate.

Baby Robbie and the other sisters were standing at the gate. The few had been chatting and laughing at

first, but they were immediately stumped for words when they noticed the low-cost luxury car behind Jenson's car.

"Who's visiting?"

"Well, I've never seen such a cheap car in Tourmaline Estate before."

Jenson parked his car in front of Baby Robbie and slid the window down. Then, Jenson said to Baby Robbie," Tell Six that her father's here."

Baby Robbie was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, the other sisters looked at each other in dismay.

Their expressions were very stiff. After all these years of spending all their time with Roxie, the sisters had naturally talked about their parents. Several of the sisters had forgotten what their parents looked like while some were still yearning to be loved by their parents. Only Roxie alone would sit aside with a sorrowful expression whenever parents were mentioned.

She had also kept a tight lip about her parents.

Now that Jens had brought her parents back, Baby Robbie and the sisters thought that the matter seemed rather fishy.

Then, they began to think whether it

was because Roxie's condition had gotten more severe so she began to have pessimistic thoughts? Perhaps that was the reason why she wanted to meet her unreliable parents before she passed away?

Baby Robbie was scared witless when he thought of this.

He ran upstairs into the house like a whirlwind, even forgetting to knock on the door before barging into Roxie's room.

Roxie was sitting on her bed with a pale face. When she saw Baby Robbie, she squeezed out a soft smile.

Baby Robbie dashed toward her and held her hand. He asked her in a stirred up manner, "Six, has the poison spread across your body? Do you feel any different?"

Roxie smiled and said, "Although Whitney's medicine can't cure the poison, it's been able to control the poison rather well. I'm alright."

Baby Robbie asked suspiciously, "Then why do you want to see those unkind parents of yours?"

Roxie said, "Don't worry. I was just worried that some unforeseen mishaps were going to happen to me, so I plan on resolving the load on my mind."

Only then did Baby Robbie feel more relieved.

Then, Roxie realized the hints and asked excitedly," Are they here?"

Baby Robbie explained, "Only your biological father is here."

Roxie became more agitated and said, "Quick, Robbie, look for some nicer clothes for me and help me up. I have to put on some makeup. I can't see him while looking so haggard." Baby Robbie smiled and said, "You're always beautiful, Six."

Roxie said You don't know this, but

he has always preferred a boy over a girl. If he sees me in such a devastating state, I'm just afraid he'd feel more grateful for having abandoned me back then.

Baby Robbie angrily scoffed. "If he so much as shows any contempt toward you, I won't let him off easily."

However, even though he said these

words, Baby Robbie still obeyed

Roxie's wishes and looked for a

grand dress for her to put on. Then, he carried her over to her wheelchair and pushed her to the dressing room.

Chapter 2360

Roxie had never put on makeup so seriously before. She already had exquisite features, so when paired with her delicate makeup, she looked particularly beautiful. Just like an elf left behind in this mortal world, she looked pure and cold as if she was placed way above the common populace.

When she finished applying her makeup, a servant was already outside her door, urging, "Ms. Roxie, your father, Charles Banners, has already arrived at the hall." Baby Robbie said, "We got it. Let him wait."

However, Roxie suddenly grew more nervous. She was holding the wheelchair tightly with both hands with an uneasy expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Baby Robbie asked attentively.

Roxie suppressed the tension in her heart and nodded at Baby Robbie. "I don't know what's going on but my heart is beating wildly for no reason." Baby Robbie's handsome face sank. He was afraid that this was a sign of a bad premonition.

Baby Robbie pushed Roxie and took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor.

Roxie could see a middle-aged couple sitting next to

Sir Ares and Angeline from a distance away. They had their waists hunched over. They were trying their best to flatter the Areses.

A glint of shame flashed past Roxie's eyes.

Her father abandoned her sick mother back then. He was a snob who married a rich lady who could offer him a higher position and more wealth.

It seemed like he had not changed even after so many years. The guy was still as snobbish as ever.

Charles and Madam Banners raised their gazes. Upon seeing Roxie, both of them were extremely stunned. It was not that they were surprised to see her but they were dumbfounded to see Baby Robbie, who was pushing her wheelchair.

Baby Robbie looked exactly like Jenson, except that the corners of his eyes were raised slightly higher. He appeared more gentle and harmless. However, he still had the same elegant temperament as Jens. For someone as noble as Robbie to personally help Roxie, the couple immediately re-examined the weight of Roxie's value.

If Roxie was able to become the Ares family's in-law, the Banners family's wealth would be bottomless.

"Roxie," said Charles as he stood up tremblingly.

He walked toward Roxie and looked

at her like a father who had repented as he said, I've come to see you. You've suffered for so many years Roxie. It's all my fault. When they said that you were missing all those years ago, I searched all over fr you. I thought that you were no longer in this world with us. I shouldn't have given up looking for you..."

As he spoke, he wiped his tears away and looked very sincere.

However, the people inside the house, including Roxie and the others who had crawled out of the ruthless military intelligence division, were mature beyond their age.

They all felt awkward and embarrassed from witnessing Charles' little act.

It was just that Roxie was kind-hearted and longed for paternal love. Hence, she chose not to expose his act.

Charles continued acting for quite

some time. When he saw that no one tried to comfort him, he started feeling embarrassed and stopped trying to gain sympathy. Instead, he quickly explained his intention for coming today. "Roxie, I'm here today to take you home."

Roxie was slightly startled. She was not mentally prepared to go back with her father at all.

She looked at Sir Ares and Angeline helplessly.

At this moment, Angeline noticed the fear of facing the unknown from the child's eyes and walked over to say to Roxie gently, "Lil Six, Mommy wants you to stay here. It'll take some time before your body fully recovers, so Mommy will be worried if you go back to

the Banners now."

Madam Banners replied gloomily, "Rest assured, Madam. Roxie is her father's biological daughter. Her father is the person who loves her the most. He'll definitely be able to take good care of her."

These words were undoubtedly said to put pressure o n Angeline using Charles' blood ties with Roxie.

Angeline was upset, but she did not want to give them a hard time in front of Roxie. She merely stood aside quietly.

Then, Charles said again, "Come home with us, Roxie. I'll make everything right again."
