Chapter 2361

Roxie was silent for a long time before she nodded at Charles lightly.

Hence, Charles and Madam Banners were ecstatic about her response.

Sir Ares abruptly chimed in, "Charles Banners, Roxie is the legally adopted daughter of the Ares family. My wife and I treat her as our own, and she'll always be an Ares wherever she ends up going. You have to keep in mind that if you take her back, you'll have to take good care of her. If she gets hurt under your care, I won't let you off the hook so easily."

Charles was so frightened that his back was drenched in cold sweat. He nodded at Jay quickly. "Yes, yes, of course. Don't worry, Sir Ares. I'll certainly take good care of my daughter."

At this time, Whitney stepped forward and took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket to hand it to Roxie. "Six, this is the antidote that I've been preparing for you in the past couple of days. Take this with you It'll last for five to six days. Afterward, I'll come over to send you a new one."

Roxie looked at Whitney gratefully. During this time, Whitney had been staying up late just to concoct the antidote for her.

"You've worked so hard for me, Sis Whitty."

Whitney let out a charming smile and said, "You've been calling me 'Sis-in-law' so I have to protect you for the rest of my life now."

Jenson immediately rubbed on his forehead.

Meanwhile, all of the sisters started giggling.

Whitney secretly glanced at Sir Ares and Angeline. Her ears flushed red in embarrassment. Afterward, she hurriedly stepped aside.

Although Baby Robbie and the sisters had acknowledged her as their sister-in-law from the bottom of their hearts, Sir Ares and Angeline had yet to agree to make her the daughter-in-law of the Ares family. Angelina's gaze fell on the bottle of medicine. Just because Roxie was Jens' adopted sister, Whitney willingly made medicine for Roxie without complaining about her hardship. Angeline was feeling moved ove Whitney's love for Jens.

She believed that Whitney's love for Jens and everyone around him would become the pillar of the Ares family in the future.

Nonetheless, Jens and Whitney were still young. If she were to be lax about this, she was afraid of them doing things that did not conform to normal etiquette.

Moreover, Angeline was obsessed with making their relationship start on a cleaner slate. She hoped that Jens could resolve Savannah's obsession with him before making an official announcement that he was with Whitney.

Otherwise, Savannah could end up getting hurt by this.

Since Roxie had agreed to go home with Charles, he and Madam Banners hurriedly urged her, "Then hurry up and pack your things, Roxie. Put them in the car and I'll take you back today."

Angeline's facial expression immediately fell as she grew incredibly upset.

Charles was deliberately asking Roxie to pack all of her belongings. Was this not a hint stating that he was no longer allowing Roxie to come back home?

Upon discerning Charles' body language, Sir Ares certainly knew of Charles' petty thoughts as well.

The guy clearly wanted to gain benefits from Roxie.

Sir Ares despised people like Charles

the most. He was an insatiably greedy person. However, in order let Roxie Have a better life after. returning home with Charles, Jay pointed his finger at Baby Robbie and whispered a few words to him.

Then, Baby Robbie personally packed Roxie's belongings for her. Roxie was stunned when he began pushing out a couple of large suitcases.

Baby Robbie nodded and went upstairs.

She was really worried that Baby

для

Robbie had emptied all of her things. Subconsciously, she knew that the Ares household was her home. She merely wanted to go back with the Banners to look at her father's living environment.

Charles and Madam Banners exuded a greedy light in their eyes.

Baby Robbie started explaining the contents of the suitcases to Roxie one at a time. "Six, this one contains jewelry, and this one contains all the clothes that Mommy has bought for you. This one has gifts from the sisters. And this one contains my gift for you. This contains the

fn

presents Jens and Whitty have prepared for you... They're all new. As for the clothes that you used to wear and your jewelry, Mommy said. that those should stay in the Ares household since you'll be coming back anytime."

Chapter 2362

Chapter 2362

When Charles and Madam Banners saw that many were rare treasures, their eyes immediately lit up.

Sir Ares' cold, sharp eyes were locked onto Charles and Madam Banners' expressions. His heart subconsciously sank. Perhaps Roxie, who grew up in the military intelligence division, could deal with sinister and vicious villains. However, she might not be able to go up against these people with malicious intentions.

Sir Ares walked toward Roxie and said, "Six, Daddy doesn't mean anything else by this. I just wanted to give you a little bit more materialistic assets.

Although they seem tacky, these things can still protect you from money-hungry wolves during crucial moments. However, you must always remember that treasures are also some sort of touchstone. The people who can be bribed by them are all greedy, money and power-hungry wolves."

Roxie was a smart person, so she instantly understood what Daddy was implying.

"I'll remember your words, Daddy."

"Mm. Go ahead now."

Roxie looked over at Angeline reluctantly, only to realize that Angeline's eyes were incredibly red. She smiled at her mommy and said in a choked up

manner, "Mommy, I'll come home to visit you often."

Angeline nodded at her in response.

Charles and Madam Banners hurriedly waved at someone to move the suitcases while Baby Robbie and the sisters took Roxie to the car.

Before the car was about to drive away, Baby Robbie walked up to Charles and warned him. "Be nice to my Sis Six."

Charles replied, "Yes. Of course. Certainly."

Then, the car set off.

Charles and Madam Banners' tense nerves finally eased up. At this moment, Madam Banners finally had the courage to examine Roxie's appearance carefully. She said, "I noticed that all of the girls in that household are charming and gorgeous. Roxie's not that outstanding. I presume that when the other girls get to go home, the Ares family will be even more generous toward them."

Charles was stunned for a moment and abruptly felt a sense of loss in his heart. It was as if he had missed out on plenty more treasures.

"Sigh. That's just Roxie's luck," said Charles while sighing.

Then, he asked Roxie tentatively, "Rox, how do Sir Ares and Madam Ares treat you? Good?"

Although Roxie's appearance was not as gorgeous as the other sisters', she was smart and meticulous. The

other sisters could not beat her in this aspect.

She could feel that Daddy and Mommy were kind to her because they loved her from the bottom of their hearts. Mommy had always loved children and since Daddy loved Mommy, he would naturally love all of them too. Moreover, the Areses were grateful that she had saved Jens and Robbie's lives before, so they treated her somewhat differently.

However, Daddy and Mommy would never be biased toward them.

"Couldn't you tell whether or not that's the case just by looking at the scene earlier on?" Roxie replied to them lightly.

There was a sense of alienation in her voice.

Charles and Madam Banners were slightly stunned. They had a pair of kids as well, but their children were extremely respectful toward them and would obey their every word. Roxie's rather cold temperament made them feel as if their authority as parents were being challenged. The two immediately pulled long faces at the same time Madam Banners immediately established some rules for Roxie by saying, "Roxie, in our household, all of the children need to be respectful when speaking to their parents."

Roxie shot a cold stare at her.

This woman did not give birth to her, nor did she ever raise her. Why should she be respectful to her?

Madam Banners felt uncomfortable

from being stared at by Roxie's terrifying eyes. However, thinking that the girl was still young, perhaps she could still scare her witless. Hence, she glared back at Roxie.

Roxie's eyes grew a little colder before Madam Banners eventually gave in.

Madam Banners began complaining

to Charles: "Look at this wonderful daughter of yours. She's already treating us this way right after we're taking her home. You have to teach her a proper lesson, darling."

Charles said, "Roxie has just returned to us, so you should bear with it for a while."

Madam Banners was fuming from his response.

When the car arrived at the Banners household, Charles and Madam Banners hurriedly ordered the servants to unload the goods. They forgot all about Roxie inside the car.

Chapter 2363

Chapter 2363

When they were done unloading the goods, Charles and Madam Banners remembered that Roxie was still inside the vehicle. Charles then ordered his servant to carry Roxie down.

Roxie sat in her wheelchair that was specially made for her by Sir Ares. Thinking of Roxie's special identity, there was even a hidden compartment designed to launch secret weapons from her wheelchair. Roxie looked over at the empty trunk of the car and stared at Charles coldly. "Where are my presents?"

Charles was stunned. He smiled at her embarrassedly while saying, "They're in Daddy's room, Roxie."

Roxie firmly said to him, "Those gifts were given to me by my dearest family members and they're very important to me. You'd better move them back to my room, Daddy."

Madam Banners was furious.

Then, she said somewhat gloomily, "Why, you're just a little child. Why do you need so many materialistic things? Besides, now that you've come to my house, our expenses will be higher. Those assets should be used as your food and accommodation expenses."

Charles agreed while echoing, "That's right, Roxie. We have to spend money on you too now."

Roxie scoffed coldly, "Bring them out."

She was surging with a threatening and imposing aura.

Charles and Madam Banners were dumbfounded.

They never expected the girl to have such formidable power.

Nonetheless, how could they be willing to return the gold mine?

Madam Banners looked at Roxie's legs and sneered," We're your guardians, so we'll be safekeeping these belongings for the time being."

Roxie reminded her by saying, "Robbie has recorded all of those assets in a list. If you dare touch any of my things, then I'm going to make you two pay like this tree..."

Once Roxie finished her sentence, a small black ball was shot out from the wheelchair and hit the tree in front, causing the tree to collapse immediately.

Charles and Madam Banners immediately shrank in fright.

Roxie asked once more, "I'm going to ask you one more time. Will you or will you not return the presents to me?"

Charles was sweating profusely. "Yes, yes, yes."

Meanwhile, Madam Banners was angrily grabbing onto him.

Charles ordered someone to carry the suitcases back into Roxie's room.

When Roxie was resting, she could hear Charles and Madam Banners arguing from downstairs.

Madam Banners said in exasperation, "She's nothing but a scrooge. We should've never taken her back here."

Charles said, "Come on now. We must be patient.

Being hasty will only ruin things. Just you wait, I'll make her hand those treasures over obediently. When the time comes and the Ares family asks us about it, we can just say that she gave them to us herself."

Roxie smirked.

She truly wanted to see how this scumbag father of hers was going to scam her of her treasures.

During lunchtime, the maid pushed her wheelchair downstairs.

Charles' expression looked quite pleasant, but Madam Banners was still pulling a long face.

It was not until their own daughter came downstairs dressed up in a punk rock outfit that there was finally a smile on Madam Banners' face.

The girl looked about the same age

as Roxie. When she saw her, suspicions arose in Roxie's eyes. She started to understand that perhaps her father had betrayed her mother from the very beginning. His first wife and his mistress both got pregnant around the same time. That was why her scumbag father could leave her and her mother without the slightest hesitation.

"So, should I be calling her 'Big Sis' or 'Lil Sis'?" Roxie deliberately asked them to prove her speculation.

Charles' expression grew ugly, while Madam Banners grew ashamed.

She nearly forgot about her action of shamelessly robbing another woman of her husband back then. She never expected Roxie to push her back to that shameful period of her life.

"I'm your big sister. My name's Bebe," the girl said languidly.

Roxie stared at Charles and said, "So you were cheating all along."

Madam Banners and Charles felt utterly defeated. This girl was deliberately touching their sore spot. What a truly annoying character.

Chapter 2364

Chapter 2364

Charles and Madam Banners were still terrified of the Ares family, so even if they were discontented with Roxie's behavior, they would not dare to put Roxie on the spot. However, Bebe was the spoiled young lady of the household. She thought that she would have her parents backing her up while Roxie was just the wild little sister of an unknown origin. She got angry at Roxie's words and raised her hand to slap Roxie fiercely.

"This is my house, Roxie Banners. You should drill this fact into your head. If you don't like it here, get out. If you want to stay in this family, you have to learn to respect us." Bebe arrogantly reprimanded Roxie. Roxie looked at her with an extremely cold gaze.

Charles and Madam Banners tried to turn a blind eye toward what their daughter had done. It was up until Roxie shot her icy gaze toward them that Charles could no longer try to dismiss it. Then, he said to Bebe somewhat perfunctorily, "Bebe, your sister just got home. You should be more considerate of her in the future."

Bebe sat in front of Roxie and said arrogantly, "Well, that'll depend on her attitude."

Roxie was clearly dissatisfied with Charles' response and she continued to look at him coldly. "She laid her

hand on me, so where should I repay this slap?"

Charles was furious, but he was still afraid that the Areses would make things difficult for him. He could only retort with a gloomy expression, "I'll apologize to you on her behalf."

Roxie raised her hand and landed a slap across Charles' old face.

"Since you want to apologize on her behalf, then you'll be punished on her behalf."

After the loud crisp sound was heard, Madam Banners and Bebe's jaws were wide open in shock.

Bebe slammed her hands on the table while standing u p. "You've gone insane! How dare you hit my father?!"

Then, she was about to dash over to tear Roxie apart.

Charles was quick-witted and quickly tried to hold her down.

"Stop stirring up trouble, Bebe."

Bebe began to lift her legs to kick Roxie while cursing, "Who do you think you are, you b*tch?! How dare you be this arrogant in my house?!"

Roxie glared at her fiercely. She reached over to grab a fork before angrily flinging it at Bebe.

The fork swiped across Bebe's face and she could feel a burning pain on her cheek. After the fork flew across her face, it flew toward the opposite marble wall and penetrated it. It was stuck in the wall. It showed how strong Roxie's strength truly was.

Bebe instantly grew silent.

However, when her hand touched her face, she realized there was blood all over.

"Ahh!" Bebe shouted in horror.

Madam Banners loved her daughter to bits, so she furiously cursed at Roxie, "You lunatic! How dare you hurt my daughter?! I'll rip you apart!"

However, when she dashed over and saw the butter knife in Roxie's hand, she immediately felt frightened.

Roxie's sharp gaze fell on Madam

Banners as she said, "I still remember how you took my father away and bullied my mother in the past. If you truly think that I'm still the same little girl who couldn't protect her family back then, then you're wrong."

Madam Banners yelled with reddened eyes, "So you're here for revenge!"

Roxie said, "If you guys had been kind to me, would've been here to repay my father's kindness for giving birth to me. Since you've been. horrible, then yes, I'm here to seek vengeance. It seems that your old patterns haven't changed one bit."

Bebe was hiding in her mother's arms while trembling in anger.

She was afraid that her face would be disfigured, and her hatred toward Roxie deepened even further in her

heart.

Roxie took out a medicine bottle

from her pocket and threw it to her. "Apply this and it won't leave a scar Next time, try not to yell around and bully me. You're not a well-matched opponent for me. You should go around and ask who I am beforehand."

Afterward, Roxie started to have her meal oh-so casually.

Charles' heart began to grow panicked.

At this moment, he was somewhat regretting it. It seemed like he made the wrong decision in bringing Roxie back.

Chapter 2365

Chapter 2365

Madam Banners and Bebe glared at Roxie resentfully. They had always been arrogant in this household, and the entire family would have to act according to their wishes. Now that Roxie had broken this status quo, they were clearly upset about it.

Bebe stood up angrily and said, "I'm not eating. I no longer have an appetite." Then, she went upstairs.

When Madam Banners saw that her beloved daughter was going on strike and refusing to eat, she immediately felt upset at Charles as well. She roared a t him. "So your daughter came back and now my daughter can't eat her meals at ease! Tell me how you're planning to solve this?"

Charles looked at Roxie, hoping that she would give in.

However, Roxie looked at him in a relaxed manner. She was much more curious to know what her father would do to her in this situation.

Charles finally said to Roxie with a long face, "Roxie, you hurt your sister. Don't you know that it's illegal? Since this is your first time, I'll let it slide. But this won't be the case the next time."

Madam Banners shouted at him, "What?! Are you saying there's going to be a next time?! You have to punish her now, dear. Let her remember the lesson well. Otherwise, my daughter's safety in this house won't be guaranteed!"

Charles looked at Madam Banners. He was at a loss and asked, "How do you plan on punishing her, dear?"

Madam Banners grabbed Roxie's plate and threw it on the floor, saying, "Those who are in the wrong shouldn't be eating."

Roxie merely managed to eat a few mouthfuls earlier, s o her stomach was still rumbling in hunger. However, she did not bicker when Madam Banners took her plate away.

Madam Banners took it a step further and ordered the servant, "Send the young miss back into her room and lock her up."

Roxie glared at her angrily. "You dare?"

Madam Banners looked at her contemptuously and instructed the servant again, "And take her cell phone away."

Was this her way to stop her from asking for help?

Nonetheless, Roxie would not be asking for help anyway. She did not want Angeline to worry about her.

When several of the servants rushed over, Roxie weighed the situation and did not resist.

Just like that, she was locked inside her room by Madam Banners, while the family ate happily afterward.

Roxie sat on the bed and curled her body up while looking at the ceiling.

Warm tears were welling up in her eyes.

It seemed that even if she spent her lifetime trying to find a cure, there was nothing that could heal her tragic childhood.

Every night, she would dream about

her tragic experience when she was younger. She thought that in the future, she would return and

establish a new relationship with her parents to heal the wounds in her heart.

to her

However, her father was still the same as before. He was afraid of her stepmother and would only obey her stepmother alone.

She only had a little to eat at noon, but they did not give Roxie any food at night.

Roxie was famished but she could only force herself to fall asleep hungry.

Meanwhile, at Tourmaline Estate.

After Angeline and Sir Ares sent Roxie off, they finally voiced the doubts that they had been suppressing in their hearts.

Angeline called all of the military intelligence division children over and scrupulously questioned the reason behind Roxie's injury. "She was just fine earlier, so how on earth did Roxie get injured? Plus, where's Lil Thirteen? Why didn't she come home with you girls?"

The sisters looked upset, and they lowered their heads, not daring to say anything.

They were worried that Angeline would not be able to accept Thirteen's betrayal.

Seeing the heavy look on their faces, Angeline grew more anxious. "Well? Say something. Where's Thirteen? "Robbie, spit it out."

Baby Robbie looked at his mommy and said frankly," Mommy, I think Thirteen may not come back ever again."

Angeline's face turned pale. This sentence truly made her assume the worst-case scenario. "What do you mean she won't be coming back?"

Chapter 2366

Chapter 2366

When Angeline thought of the injured Roxie, she naturally thought that Lil Thirteen was hurt in the worst possible way as well.

Baby Robbie quickly comforted her. "It's not what you think, Mommy. Thirteen's not in any danger. It's just that she... She went back to the military intelligence division."

Angeline looked at Baby Robbie in disbelief. She simply could not fathom this situation as Thirteen used to be eager to leave the military intelligence division and longed for maternal love. She finally got the life she wanted, so how could Thirteen return to the military intelligence division?

However, all of the other children nodded one after another, indicating that Baby Robbie's words were the truth.

Jay started to notice the cruel twist behind the truth." Robbie, who poisoned Sis Six?"

Baby Robbie did not want to tell his parents that there had been a betrayal among the military intelligence division sisters. He was afraid that his mother, who was not in good health, would grow worried. Nonetheless, under Daddy's fierce gaze, Baby Robbie knew that there was no way out of this so he explained to them truthfully, "Thirteen was the one

who poisoned Roxie."

Angeline trembled slightly upon hearing this. She could not accept such a huge blow.

Sir Ares held onto her and comforted her. "Don't be too upset, Angeline. The kids are grown up, and they each have their own thoughts and plans. As parents, we can no longer choose their paths for them." Lil Ten and Lil Eleven suddenly stepped forward and hugged Angeline gently while saying gently, "Don't worry, Mommy. We won't leave you for the rest of our lives."

Angeline stroked their heads and softly said, "Good girls."

Thirteen's betrayal made it feel like a dark cloud was shrouding over Angelina's head.

She asked Jay, "Darling, do you have any idea why Thirteen would even want to return to the military intelligence division?"

Jay accepted this conclusion rather calmly and said to Angeline, "Thirteen is Monster's biological daughter. She was instilled with ideas of revenge and hatred by him since she was a child, so she's certainly the military intelligence division's most loyal minion. Her martial arts skills are superb and her thoughts are shrewd. These are the results of Monster's personal upbringing. The other sisters are different. They go on missions and spend a lot of time together, so they cherish each other and seek one another for warmth.

Hence, they have deeper bonds.

"It's just that there must be a reason for Thirteen's sudden betrayal." Jay tried to analyze it. "The remaining members of the military intelligence division have been quiet for a

years. I'm afraid that there's

few

someone evil behind the scenes

who are responsible for the sudden attack."

Angeline asked anxiously, "Who could it be?"

Sir Ares said, "I've sent someone to Yorks Stronghold to inquire about Monster. We'll know the reason soon enough." Angeline began to feel uneasy, and she pleaded with Sir Ares sincerely, "We must protect the children at all cost, darling."

Sir Ares nodded. "I know."

Angeline thought of Roxie once more and felt uneasy." Will it be safe for Roxie to stay at the Banners' house?"

Jay replied, "She's no longer a useful chess piece to the military intelligence division, so they won't be messing with her anymore." That night, Savannah paid an abrupt visit to Tourmaline Estate.

Angeline and Josie were both extremely fond of Savannah. They completely believed in the girl's fortune-telling capabilities.

Since Angeline's thoughts were in turmoil at the moment, when she heard that Savannah had come to

visit, she immediately let her in.

Savannah entered the hall and

immediately said to Angeline, "I was

doing a reading on you, Aunt

Angeline. I saw that you're grieving from losing your loved ones. I was worried and rushed over to inform you of this."

"Grieving from losing a loved one?" Angeline's heart felt heavier from hearing these words.

Roxie was now back at the Banners

while Lil Thirteen had also returned to the military intelligence division These two children were no longer by her side now, so was this what Savannah meant by grieving from losing her loved ones?

Chapter 2367

Chapter 2367

Angeline asked Savannah anxiously, "Can you elaborate on that, Savannah?"

Savannah was slightly hesitating and stopped talking altogether.

Angeline became more and more anxious. "Do you mean that my loved ones have left my side?"

Savannah shook her head.

Angelina's hand trembled violently.

If that was not what she meant, that could only mean... death?

Angeline could not bring herself to think of that. It would be upsetting to her if any of her children left her.

"Is there a way to undo it?" Angeline asked in a stirred up manner.

Savannah murmured, "I suppose it's a life for a life."

Angeline found that extremely unsettling. There was n o distinction between a noble and a lowly life in this world, so to replace her child's life with someone else's was extremely cruel. After Savannah spoke to Angeline, she quickly left.

When she was walking out of Chateau de Selene, she happened to bump into Jens and Whitney.

She was stunned for a moment. Looking at Jens' eyes that were filled with bewilderment, she lowered her head and left in silence.

It was her first time being this quiet, which made Jenson feel a sense of uneasiness in his heart. He abruptly stopped Savannah, asking, "What are you doing here?"

Savannah did not turn around. She merely halted her footsteps and said, "I did a reading and saw that the Ares family is in trouble, so I came over to warn Aunt Angeline." Whitney asked, "What kind of trouble?"

Savannah ignored Whitney and continued to walk forward.

Whitney questioned Jens, "Do you believe her, Jens?"

Jens' eyes appeared deep as he said, "She was accurate the first few times."

Whitney said, "How can you believe in her nonsense, Jens? There's no such mumbo-jumbo in this world."

Jenson fixed his gaze on Whitney as he said, "Even if it's all a lie, there must be someone else behind this for so many accidental coincidences to occur." Whitney suddenly understood what Jenson meant. No matter what the basis of Savannah's fortune-reading skills was, there was someone making them come true. Jens hurried into the house and asked Angeline, "What did Savannah say to you, Mommy?"

Angeline was still immersed in her sadness as she said, "Savannah said that our family will be grieving from losing a loved one."

Jenson comforted Angeline by saying, "Don't worry, Mommy. I won't let those sorts of things happen."

Angeline believed in Savannah's words because her soul transmigrated into someone else's body back then. She believed Savannah firmly without a single doubt. Jenson's words had zero effect in giving her any comfort.

Sir Ares came back, and upon

hearing Savannah's prediction, he squatted in front of Angeline and squeezed her chin with his hand. He calmed her by saying, "Cheer up, Angeline. Human wisdom can

prevail over nature. I won't let these

things happen to our family."

Angeline was pessimistic. She looked at Jay in distress and said, "Do you have a solution, Jaybie?"

Jay said, "From now on, Baby Robbie and the children will stay put at Tourmaline Estate for the time being. I'll send the Ghost members to look for Thirteen." Angeline said, "What about Roxie? After that girl left

Tourmaline Estate yesterday, I've been feeling uneasy in my heart."

Whitney volunteered. "I can go over and keep Roxie safe, Aunt Angeline."

Angeline glanced over at Whitney and said, "It's better for you to stay home as well so that Jens won't be worried."

Jens' ears became slightly red.

Seeing Whitney's dazzling smile, Jens chimed in, "Mommy, Whitty is incredibly skilled in martial arts. She might be able to defeat ten Ghost members on her own. Allow her to go and protect Roxie."

Angeline was dumbfounded. "You silly child. You should be pampering your

silly Cher. She's not here for you

to simply share all your worries with and solve all of your issues.

Chapter 2368

Chapter 2368

When Jenson was being reprimanded by his mother, h e immediately lowered his head.

Whitney immediately stepped forward to help Jens." It's a blessing of mine to be able to share sorrows with Jens and solve problems for him, Aunt Angeline."

Angeline looked at Whitney, who was smiling brightly. She recalled that whenever she laid eyes on this girl, she would always look very cheerful. Even at first glance, Angeline could tell that the girl grew up in a carefree environment.

Angeline liked Whitney's innocence and her unreserved courage when it came to love. However, she was also worried that such an innocent girl would suffer a lot of grievances when faced with Jens' sullen and indifferent temperament.

Angeline wanted Jens and Whitney to spend more time together, so she said, "If that's the case, then you and Jens should go over to the Banners' household and deliver some presents to Roxie." "Sure thing, Aunt Angeline," Whitney responded swiftly.

After coming out of Chateau de Selene, Whitney and Jens went straight to the Banners household. Whitney was just happy to be able to do things together with Jens. However, Jens had a solemn expression on his face as if something was weighing down heavily on his mind.

Whitney asked him, "What are you thinking about, Jens?"

Jens sighed and responded, "I'm just wondering why Mommy asked me to visit Roxie instead of Robbie? Mommy knows very well that Roxie and Robbie share a deeper bond, and Sis Roxie would really want to see Robbie. Plus, Robbie is extremely worried about Roxie but Mommy is intentionally keeping Robbie away from her."

Although Whitney was simple-minded, she was still a few years older than Jens. Hence, she was naturally more sensitive about the feelings between a man and a woman than Jens.

Whitney said, "Aunt Angeline's arrangement is the most appropriate."

Jens looked at Whitney in astonishment. "Oh? How s o?"

Whitney said, "Think about it. Among all of the military intelligence division sisters, who wouldn't like the handsome and romantic Baby Robbie? Their feelings toward Baby Robbie are probably not as simple as affection toward siblings. They're mixed with seemingly complex affection between a man and a woman. Aunt Angeline is probably intending on keeping Baby Robbie away from Roxie because she's afraid that the other sisters will think much into it and it'll affect their relationship."

Jenson was utterly stunned.

At this moment, Jens could not help but sympathize with Baby Robbie.

It was as if Baby Robbie had fallen into an inescapable hole.

"Say, who do you think Baby Robbie likes among them, Jens?" Whitney suddenly started to gossip.

Jens lamented, "When they were in the military intelligence division, their missions were extremely dangerous so Robbie and the other sisters relied on each other to keep themselves warm. They sincerely care about one another. This sort of relationship is more like the love between compatriots instead of the love between men and women."

Whitney shook her head and said,

"Perhaps Baby Robbie might feel

nothing but comradeship for the

sisters, but the feelings the girls have for Robbie aren't that pure and simple. At the very least, we can tell that Roxie is in love with Robbie. Roxie's love is extremely open and candid. She loves him, but she

doesn't want to selfishly snatch him

all to herself. She merely wants

Robbie to be happy."

It was Jenson's first time hearing about Roxie's feelings for Robbie, so he was slightly shocked by it." Did Sis Roxie say this herself?" Whitney nodded.

Jenson's heart was brimming with emotion.

"If that's the case, Robbie's in huge trouble."

Whitney said, "Yeah. Robbie was still

a child when he entered the military intelligence division. He probably didn't quite understand the differences between men and

women, so he got along very weet

with the sisters. Now that he's older, be it his appearance or his

personality, he's simply attractive. It's no wonder that the sisters have other kinds of feelings for him. It's just that I'm afraid he'll have a hard time making a choice. Don't you think so?"

Jenson gave it a thought for a while and sighed.

"Mm."

Whitney looked over at Jens' young yet mature-looking face, pinching it in distress. "Smile, Jens. It's not like there's no solution to Baby Robbie's matter." "How can it be solved?"

Chapter 2369

Chapter 2369

"That's to quickly find Baby Robbie a girlfriend before the sisters even mention anything. This way, none of the sisters will get hurt," Whitney suggested. Jenson shook his head. "Even if this is a good idea, I'm afraid Baby Robbie won't agree to it."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived a t Charles' place.

Just as Whitney was about to open the car door, Jens stopped her instead. "Whitty, let's sneak over."

Whitney instantly understood him and stealthily opened the car door. She leaped and jumped across the villa's courtyard wall.

Jenson followed closely from behind.

The two crept around the courtyard and hid in the corner. At this moment, they heard the voice of an exasperated young girl in the living room.

"Take a good look in the mirror, Roxie. How much longer do you think you can live anyway? If you even have the slightest bit of wit, take your jewelry out and hand it over as the family's additional expenses. Perhaps we'll consider you one of the Banners then and allow you to die with dignity."

Jenson and Whitney's faces were ashen with anger.

Whitney impulsively wanted to dash forward but Jens

grabbed onto her and said, "Let's continue listening."

This time around, Jens looked for his phone and started recording.

Then, they could hear Roxie's slightly weaker voice." Heh, none of you deserve to have my things."

Madam Banners roared at her. "Do you think that just because you have the Areses' support, you can get carried away, Roxie Banners?! I'll have you know that the Areses have sent a couple of servants over a few times but they were all sent away by us. I'm telling you now that if you continue being this way, your life will only become more and more unbearable."

Roxie sneered at them bleakly. "Do you think that the Areses won't want me anymore? That's your biggest mistake. My foster parents treat me as if I'm their own. The reason they got the servants to come for a visit is that they're certain you people won't dare to mistreat me and they believe I can protect myself.

"And I'm unwilling to let my foster parents be worried about me, so 'm refusing to contact them. However, if something were to happen to me, my foster parents will never forgive you so easily."

Madam Banners scoffed. "Just keep bragging, then. Don't forget that you're still Charles Banners' biological daughter. Now that you're home, the Areses can't care less about your life or death. Just give us the passcode to your luggage, Roxie Banners. If you do that, I'll give you something to eat."

Whitney simply could not stand idly by and listen any further.

She angrily kicked the door open.

Inside the house, Roxie was sitting in her wheelchair i n despair. Her hair appeared disheveled.

Madam Banners and her daughter, Bebe, widened their eyes in fury. "Who do you think you are? Why are you breaking into private property?!"

Whitney glared at Madam Banners and Bebe resentfully. She questioned, "How dare you treat Roxie in this manner?"

Madam Banners asked, "Who the hell are you? I'm disciplining my own daughter, so how is it any of your business?"

Roxie smiled lightly while saying, "That girl is my future sister-in-law."

Whitney smiled at Roxie gracefully and said, "Silly girl, I'll protect you with all my might today just because you called me that. Tell me, how do you want me to punish them?" Madam Banners sneered and said, "Sister-in-law?

That's not even certain yet. The Ares family has plenty of adopted daughters and all of them are as beautiful a s wildflowers. It's still uncertain who'll be their daughter-in-law."

Whitney hated it the most when

others said she could not be Jens'

wife, and she loved it when the

sisters called her their sister-in-law. Hence, hearing Madam Banners' words, she immediately became furious.

She took a silver needle and shot it at Madam Banners' mouth.

"Since your mouth is so dreadful, I can assume it's useless."

Madam Banners immediately became silent out of fright.

Bebe said angrily, "Let my mother go! I can sue you for breaking and entering!"

Whitney sneered. "You're planning on suing me? Then go on, call the cops on me. It just so happens that I was about to sue you people for illegally imprisoning our Roxie and abusing her!" When all was said and done, Bebe was just a young lady from a rich family who had never experienced life in the real world before. She was shocked upon hearing Whitney's words.

Whitney walked up to Roxie, and seeing that she looked to be on her last breath, Whitney shook her head and sighed. "Come home with us, Roxie."

Roxie shook her head and smiled as she said, "I still can't go home with you yet, Sis-in-law."

Whitney was puzzled. "Why's that, Roxie? They don't even treat you as if you're their family." Roxie said, "I know. That's why I can't go home."

Madam Banners was stunned for a moment. Roxie's words sent a chill down her spine. She initially thought that Roxie returned home merely because she was longing for her father's love. Now, she knew that things were not as simple as they seemed.

After all, Charles was not at all kind toward Roxie since all of his love was given to Bebe. Madam Banners could not fathom why Roxie insisted on staying in the Banners' house.

They did not treat her kindly either. They starved her and had been cursing at her for the past two days. It was up to the point that Roxie was almost starving to death. Now that her savior was here, she barely cried nor complained about her grievances. Instead, she still calmly insisted on staying.

Roxie's abnormal behavior made Madam Banners feel uneasy.

"Go with her, then!" she yelled at Roxie.

In the beginning, Madam Banners expected Roxie to bring their family fortune. However, seeing how much of a scrooge Roxie was and how she guarded the wealth given to her by the Ares family, she knew that it would be difficult to gain any benefits from Roxie.

Now, she actually felt that Roxie was nothing but a burden. She wished Roxie would leave the Banners household.

Roxie looked at her with a smile and reminded

Madam Banners, "If I go back to the Areses and my parents see me in this state, do you truly think they'll let you off the hook?"

Madam Banners was startled.

She was right. Roxie has only been back in the Banners household for two days but she was already being driven to the point of being more dead than alive. How could Sir Ares let her go for this? Madam Banners suddenly stopped bantering.

Bebe, the immature girl, looked unafraid and said, "It's not like you're really dead. You're just a little hungry. Can the Areses even disregard the law and want our heads just because of that?" Whitney was rather amazed by Bebe's ignorance.

"Roxie, was your sister's brain thrown into the trash?"

Bebe was exasperated. "How dare you talk bad about me?"

"Saying that is already considered flattery for the likes of you. With that IQ of yours, it's not even an exaggeration to say that you're a single-celled creature," said Roxie. en.swhovels.net

Bebe gritted her teeth in anger.

"Guards! Take her out of here for me!"

When the guards came dashing in, Whitney waved her hand once. The group of people immediately dashed over.

Roxie said, "Don't worry about me, Sis-in-law. Hurry up and report to Daddy and Mommy that I'm alright."

Whitney looked at Roxie

suspiciously. Although it was clear that Roxie was suffering, her eyes

were firm and bright. Seeing this t

Whitney knew that Roxie had her own plans, so she chose to no longer make things difficult for Madam Banners.

Instead, she merely warned Madam Banners. "You'd better be nice to my Roxie. If you abuse her again, I

won't hesitate to stab you in the mouth the next time."

Whitney walked out of the living room and rejoined Jens.

Whitney asked Jens curiously, "Why didn't you show yourself?"

Jens pretended to act all mysterious and said, "I went for a short trip

the

backyard and arranged a surprise for Six. Let's go.".

"What sort of surprise?"

"A surprise that can save her life."

After getting into the car, Whitney was still puzzled." Why is Roxie adamant about staying in the Banners household?"

Jens said, "Why were you adamant about coming to look for me?"

"That's because I like you. You're my life's biggest obsession, Jens."

Jens replied, "As for Roxie, the Banners are her biggest obsession." Whitney seemed to have half-understood it now.
