Chapter 2501
Jay said, "Just treat it as a dream. When you wake up, everything will go back to the way it was."
Angeline took the tea that Jay handed her and drank it with a smile. Then, she put the teacup on the coffee table and stared at Jay. "In my dream, you were someone who could control the past and the future." Jay touched Angeline's head. "Angeline, I'll strive to create the life you want for you."
Angeline buried her head in his arms. "I want to have a family full of children and grandchildren. I wish to enjoy the happiness of having a big family."
Jay almost spat out the tea in his mouth. "We're still young, Angeline. That's still too early for us."
Angeline heard the insinuation. "Do you mean there'll still be disasters befalling us? Ah. When will we be able to enjoy the joy of having a family full of children and grandchildren after going through so much hardship?"
The look in Jay's handsome eyes was dim.
"Such a day will come."
Zayne came down from the upstairs and sat listlessly between Angeline and Jay.
"Sis Angeline, Jay, when can we go home? My dear Josie misses Joseph."
He had always called Jay 'Big Brother' before this, so the way he addressed him today was deemed impolite.
Jay rolled his eyes at him. "Call me Big Brother!"
Zayne pointed at Jay and complained to Angeline, "Look at him... Sis Angeline... He's been married to you for so long, and I've called him Big Brother for half of my life. Am I still not good enough to call him by his name?"
Angeline simply chuckled.
From the day she and Jay got married, Zayne was very dissatisfied that he had to call Jay 'Big Brother'. He had been brooding about this for half his life.
Jay said shrewdly, "I can call you Big Brother, but you have to actually become the big brother. Hence, you'll have to support me in the future." Zayne was dumbfounded.
He was not adept in business one bit and could not make any money. It was thanks to Jay who would lend them money from time to time over the years. When he brought up money, Zayne instantly lost.
"Fine. I'll call you Big Brother, is that enough?"
Jay smiled complacently.
Zayne shook his head and sighed. "You're such a dimwit."
It was rare for them to have such a leisurely afternoon tea time. Angeline, Zayne, and her husband joked around. Jay would tease Angeline from time to time. He said, "You don't have to ask for a house full of children and grandchildren, Angeline. Don't you already feel very happy to have Jaybie with you during your free time like today?"
Angeline nodded.
Zayne liked to dampen the atmosphere the most. "You have so many sons and daughters, so you'l worry about them all your life. During afternoon tea time, if you see those lads and lassies vying around from jealousy, how could you still drink tea so comfortably?"
"Who's vying around from jealousy?" Angeline was actually becoming worried now.
Jay said, "Our children and grandchildren will have their own happiness."
Zayne said, "Your Andy there is incredibly cool, and she's stolen Grayson's heart.
Nonetheless, she doesn't want to be with Grayson. In the past few days, Grayson has been looking wan and sallow. Haven't you noticed that he's getting thinner?"
Angeline was truly becoming
anxious." Those two are obviously a
good match. Why can't they be together openly?" Zayne said, "I heard that Andy is reluctant to be forced to separate from her sisters if
she were to get married."
Angeline instantly understood Andy's concerns.
She had been with the other sisters for more than ten years. She got along well with them, so it was only normal that she did not want to be separated from them However, would everyone not be separated sooner or later?
Angeline said to Jay, "Jaybie, Grayson is one of yours. You should try to advise him.'
Chapter 2502
Chapter 2502
Jay adhered to the principle that children and grandchildren would have their own happiness from the depths of his heart, and he was also extremely unwilling to deal with the juniors' emotional entanglements. However, he did not want Angeline to worry about the little ones, so he reluctantly agreed. "Alright, I'll deal with it."
Zayne pretended not to believe him and jokingly said to Jay, "Your own love history is so rich, and you can't handle your own relationship well. I want to see how you'll handle the relationships of the younger generation."
Jay glanced at Angeline in a hurry, for fear that Angeline would be misled by Zayne. He glared at Zayne with a gloomy expression. "You'd better set your facts straight before you speak. I'm loyal to my Angelina. How could my love history be rich?"
Zayne raised his fingers and counted." Excluding the time you and Angeline were not married, I remember there was Nancy Bell, my stepmother's daughter, Sera, and Judy. Now, there's another one-Prajna. How can you be worthy of my sister, Jay?"
Jay explained to the aggrieved Angeline," Don't listen to your brother's nonsense, Angeline. I can't even remember what those women look like. Your brother's the one who remembers them."
Zayne said, "You're a straight-A student, Jay. How could you forget them? You're just bullying Angeline for being simple and easy to deceive."
When he mentioned those past events, the images of those sad memories surfaced in Angeline's mind, and her face sank.
Jay kept begging Angeline for mercy." Angeline, I truly don't remember those women. You know this. Other than you, I can't recognize the faces of other women."
Angeline said while huffing, "You might not remember them, but I do."
Angeline looked as if she was unwilling to let this slide.
Jay could only use his trump card. He raised his voice and shouted, "Cole, come out here!"
Angeline understood what he was doing within seconds.
Jay was trying to insinuate to her that even she had a past.
She guiltily kept silent.
Zayne pointed at Jay and scolded, "Jay Ares, you're the pettiest man I've ever met."
Cole came out in a daze. "Are you looking for me?"
Jay said calmly, "Oh. The thing your wife bought for Zayne some time ago..." He pretended to pause.
Cole's and Zayne's expressions were the same. Cole cast a glance at Zayne. His look of scrutiny was full of meaning.
Zayne hurriedly knelt in front of Jay and hurriedly lowered his head to beg for mercy. "I yield. Big Brother won't talk about your exes again. Really Who doesn't have an exin this world? Just let those exes remain in the past."
Jay looked at Zayne with contempt and was secretly proud of himself.
'You petty bug. How dare you try to trap me?
Seeing that Jay had frightened Zayne, Angeline hurriedly dragged him out." Jaybie, you should go and see your little assistant."
After Jay left the living room, Zayne got up from the floor and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Cole did not sympathize with him at all." You asked for it. Knowing that he's not your opponent, you still went ahead and messed with him. You were overestimating yourself." Zayne said in trepidation, "Luckily for me, Josie isn't by my side."
Jay and Angeline came to the outer courtyard where the children had gathered. It was supposed to be a lively and noisy atmosphere, but for some reason, it was extraordinarily quiet.
Even the lively and cheerful Robbie had become more solemn upon his return.
Jay walked over, sat on the wooden chair, and crossed his legs. Acting as their parent, he said to his juniors, "I heard that you lot are all troubled by love, Why don't you tell me what's wrong and I'll find a way to solve your problems for you?"
Chapter 2503
Chapter 2503
Everyone was surprised that Sir Ares, who had always disliked meddling, would take the initiative to care about their romantic affairs for the first time in history.
After a moment of silence, Sir Ares took the lead in calling Grayson out. "Grayson, what's going on between you and Andy?"
Angeline tugged on Jay's sleeve, signaling him to be more subtle. "Jaybie, the kids are shy, so you should be a little more reserved."
Jay's expression was sullen. He was impatient when dealing with these things. He was eager to cut straight to the chase.
"They have to be more brazen for these sorts of things. They should pester whoever they like again and again. Of course, they also need to have tactics when pursuing someone. Each of you is a top student from famous schools, but do you know how to pursue someone you love?"
It was dead silent. However, all of them drooped their heads. They seemed frustrated.
Jay said gloomily, "If you don't know how to do it, get some references. Each of you will give me a love essay tomorrow." Jay exposed his domineering side, and the young ones were shivering.
They had written plenty of academic papers when they were in school and wrote a lot of work reports after working. They were all skilled at writing, but when it came to love letters, their IQ seemed to have short-circuited.
Jay stood up and said to Angeline, "That's all for today. After they hand in their
homework tomorrow, I'll teach them according to their aptitude."
Angeline could clearly sense Jay's evasion, but she could only wait and see what would happen.
After Jay and Angeline had left, the youngsters became overly anxious.
"What should we do? Daddy wants us to write a paper about love? How on earth should we write it?"
At this moment, Robbie turned his attention to Jenson. "Jens, you have a successful experience in this area. Why don't you help me write it?"
Jenson refused. "Daddy wants to know the reason why you can't find a girlfriend so he can help you solve the root of your problem. My experience won't be of help to you."
"Could you tell us your strategy in pursuing Whitney then, Jens? Perhaps give Grayson some advice too?" Storm said.
Jenson raised his head and thought about it. He finally said proudly, "I didn't use any strategies. It's because Whitney was the one who pursued me."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
It was like throwing salt on those who were wounded from not succeeding at love.
Ultimately, Whitney was the one who generously shared her own experience." You won't be able to get any insight if you ask him. You should be asking me. After all, Jens is someone I spent a tremendous amount of effort to get a hold of."
The girls excitedly surrounded Whitney. "Tell us, Whitty. How'd you get someone as cold and lofty as Jens?"
Whitney recalled vividly, "First of all,
you have to be shameless. The first time I saw Jens, it was love at first sight. Although he barely batted an eyelid toward me, I persisted in appearing in front of him every day to help him relieve all his worries.
"Secondly, you have to adapt to his taste. Jens likes gentle girls and girls who know feminine arts. I was a martial artist, but I learned to brew tea for Jens' sake and picked up embroidery needles... to do embroidery."
Jens could not help but laugh. He chimed in, "And what did you learn to do with the embroidery needles You learned how to let them fly from all directions in the sky. Your
method of adapting to my taste is by blazing yourself a new trail.
Whitney playfully covered Jens'
mouth to prevent him from exposing her. "You're a man of character, Jens, so don't bother yourself with such trivial matters. Ignore what I ultimately learned. In any case,
listened to you and stayed
the
féminine arts class for so many years."
"Whitty's so humble in her love." Lil Ten was moved by this.
Chapter 2504
Chapter 2504
Whitney patted Lil Ten on the shoulders and instilled in them her view of love with the demeanor of someone who was experienced. "There are two kinds of love, Lil Ten. One's the sort of love where you go for someone above you. That's where you look for someone who's better-looking and more capable than you. Of course, you'll be destined to constantly chase after their footsteps. That's the humbleness you described.
"Another kind of love is based on equality. The couple will have the same level of appearance and abilities, or they complement each other. This is the kind of love that many people pursue. When they're in love, others will compliment them and say they're a match made in heaven. However, this kind of love is also the most dangerous kind of love, because you don't know when one of them will progress leaps and bounds through their hard work while the other remains stagnant or move slowly. At this time, their love will change. From standing on equal ground, it'll transform into the first type of love. However, a proud person would be reluctant to look up to their partners, so the gap between them will increase. The person who has improved in life would despise their partner for not being ambitious, while the stagnant one would blame their partner for changing their mind."
Whitney summed it up in one sentence," It's better to learn from me and learn how to go for someone who's above you from the beginning. That way, you can follow in their footsteps to make progress in life.' The crowd's jaws dropped, and they were stunned.
They did not expect Whitney to have such a deep understanding of the matter.
Lil Ten was full of praise for Whitney's explanation. "Listening to Whitty's words alone is even better than ten years of study."
Whitney's lecture reminded the always proud Ghost members and military intelligence division sisters that life was impermanent. They should not look at the person in front of them with a still eye. Therefore, when looking for a partner, they should learn to respect and tolerate each other.
Jenson, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said, "Whitty, I don't need you to look up to me. You don't have to work so hard to chase after me either. You're the one who found me, which implies that you can be a couch potato and I still wouldn't despise you."
Their public display of affection caught the rest of them off guard.
However, when they were envying Whitney, they were even more curious about how Jenson asked her out. Hence, they did not interrupt him and merely listened to Jens' voice attentively.
"I was forced to put you into that
feminine arts class back then. The Areses were in a predicament, and my focus was on saving my couldn't deal with your
Emily. I
entanglement, so I trapped you to lock you in there," said Jens.
Whitney said in excitement, "So, you're saying that you didn't dislike me at the time, right?"
Jens looked at the bright and
beautiful Whitney. Her beauty was simply heroic. In fact, the first time he saw her, he liked her appearance very much. It was just that he was young at that time and did not even think about love.
Jenson nodded at her.
Whitney responded with a grin.
Jenson and Whitney generously shared their emotional experiences, which provided guidelines for Grayson and the others who were trapped in terms of love.
Grayson glanced over at Andy and
tried to test things out, "Did you hear that, Andy? Love means accommodating one other. You can't just sit on a high pedestal all the time. Occasionally, you have to be grounded. Love means. sacrifices."
Andy felt that she was put in a difficult position. "I just don't want to be separated from my sisters."
Grayson sighed.
He could not leave Sir Ares either, and Andy was reluctant to leave the military intelligence division sisters. It would be difficult for them to fall in love with each other. Jenson walked up to Robbie and said," Andy might listen to you. Why don't you make a decision for her, Robbie?"
Chapter 2505
Chapter 2505
Reluctance and nostalgia appeared in Robbie's eyes, but after a moment of hesitation, the dust settled and he stood up. He walked in front of Andy.
"Andy, all good things must come to an end somehow. I know that separation is very painful for the military intelligence division sisters. After all, you used to fight together and were each other's comrades through life or death. However, the division no longer exists, and this revolutionary friendship is also a thing of the past. All of us have to look toward the future rather than live in the past and be unable to step out." When Robbie said this, the sisters' expressions seemed to have cracked. They never expected Robbie to come to such a conclusion.
After all, Robbie was the warmest light in their eyes.
Nonetheless, this ray of light was no longer shining on them. This left them with a sense of uncertainty about the future.
"Big Brother Robbie, I won't ever leave you." Lil Ten took the lead and made a firm statement.
The other sisters also expressed impassionedly, "That's right, Robbie. We grew up together. We're not only comrades but family. There's no reason for you to separate family members," said Roxie. Robbie sighed helplessly, "We'll only be separated, dear sisters. It's not a farewell. Just like me, Jens, and Zetty. Even though we're triplets, we have our own paths to walk on in the end. It's because our ideals are different. We have to realize our own
values. Do you girls understand?'
The sisters were all dumbfounded.
They looked at each other in dismay as if they found it hard to understand him.
Robbie added, "Even if we siblings are separated, it doesn't affect our family affection at all. No matter where we are, we'll always be thinking of each other, our dearest loved ones."
When he put it that way, the sisters understood. After all, they were still intelligent people.
They also realized that the sisters' longterm relationship was just an idealistic mirage.
When they were young, they hugged each other for warmth. Now that they had grown up, they should learn to be independent. They would grow older sooner or later. If they did not separate when they were in their prime, they would still be forcibly separated by death when they were old.
Hence, they forced themselves to accept the idea of separation in their hearts.
Robbie said to Andy earnestly, "Since you and Brother Grayson are in love, Andy, you should overcome all obstacles to be together."
Andy lowered her head, and her eyelashes drooped. She fell into deep contemplation.
When she raised her head again,
tears were already in her eyes. She said with a bit of guilt, "I'm your eldest sister, Robbie. I should be taking care of you guys. In the end I'm the first one to fall. I'm ashamed of being your big sister. I should take care of each of you and not think about myself until you're all well and have a place to return to Andy remembered Daisy, who died in the division. At the time, Daisy would always put their safety first at all times. Even at her last moment, she sacrificed her life to protect the sisters.
When compared with her, Andy felt that she was selfish and narrow-minded.
Robbie and the sisters immediately gathered around Andy. Roxie comforted her while saying, "Andy,
it's easy to seek priceless treasurest
but it's hard to find the perfect partner Since you and Grayson are in love with each other, it's the rarest kind of love. You should seize the opportunity to be with him. If you give up your feelings for us, then we'll only feel guiltier."
Andy said with reddened eyes, "Stop persuading me. Your futures have not yet been settled. Lil Ten and the others are still so young. I'm like their mother. How can I be selfish and prioritize my own happiness and disregard you girls? Only when all of you are happy can I pursue my own happiness without any scruples.'
Chapter 2506
Chapter 2506
Robbie could not persuade Andy, so he turned his attention to Roxie instead. Roxie said to him, "Don't look at me. I'll never leave the sisters my whole life. I'll never get married." Robbie sighed weakly.
Then, Jenson smiled and said, "In that case, you should head back and finish up Daddy's homework."
Everyone started to disperse.
Jenson walked toward Robbie who was in a daze. He put a hand on his shoulder lightly. He said, "You're persuading them to pursue their love, but what about you, Robbie?"
An obscure look flashed across Robbie's
eyes.
His love?
It seemed to have sprouted before but was buried in that damn cruel farewell.
Jenson looked at Robbie's face without pausing to blink. "Robbie, before Tenzel took off, he once said that he wanted to fulfill two wishes. One wish has been fulfilled, while the other wish... Do you know what i was?"
A look of anticipation appeared on Robbie's handsome face. Nonetheless, it was a look of uncertain expectation, which made him particularly hesitant.
Robbie said to Jens in a melancholic way,' He's fulfilled half of my wish for me, Jens.'
Jens was quite surprised. "Others would finish a good deed until the very end. He's quite a peculiar one. Why'd he only fulfill half of your wish?"
Robbie answered, "When the military intelligence division was badly attacked by Monster, Sis Daisy, Sis Five, and Sis Nine, unfortunately, lost their lives. I think since Mommy was able to transmigrate, she begged Tenzel that the three sisters could also transmigrate.
"But Tenzel said that she could let them reincarnate. It's just that only one person can come back to meet me. And this person is the one who loves me the most."
Jens thought for a moment, then realized the deeper meaning behind this. "Robbie, transmigrating may seem simple, but it's actually rather complex. In order to stay together, Mommy and Daddy have experienced many pains of separation. I think Tenzel's right. The person who can come back to you must be someone who's desperately in love with you. That's how she'll be able to strengthen her belief and break through the obstructions to come back to you."
Robbie sighed at him weakly.
Jenson saw through his mind and said," Are you afraid that the person who'll come back is not the person you're longing for?"
There was a flash of panic in Robbie's eyes. He was lacking in confidence.
Jenson analyzed, "Sis Daisy protected you until her death, so there's no doubt about her feelings for you.
"As for Sis Five, she's the most loyal of them all, but it's not out of love.
"As for Sis Nine..."
Jenson did not know much about Sis Nine, so he could only look at Robbie.
Robbie said, "Nine's the most innocent and pure. She created the most joy for me."
Jenson smiled, "But you merely treat her as a confidant!"
Robbie lowered his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I truly can't deceive you."
Jenson patted him on the shoulder "Stop being distressed about it. I
you have to find her first before you worry further. It's not easy to find someone in this sea of people." en.swhovels.net
Robbie nodded silently.
After staying in Yorks Stronghold for a few days, they were preparing to return to Imperial Capital. After all, as parents, the adults had been out for a while. They clearly missed their children very much.
As soon as Robbie and Jens returned to Imperial Capital, they could not wait to go to Angel's kindergarten and pick her up from school.
Imperial Capital.
าวน์
When the older seniors in the kindergarten saw the handsome Robbie and Jens, they could not help but take a couple more glances at them.
Then, one old man could not help being driven by curiosity. He asked, "Who are you boys picking up? Why have I never seen you before?"
Chapter 2507
Chapter 2507
Jens was someone who barely spoke in front of strangers. As for Robbie, he chatted with the old man in a pleasant manner," I'm here to pick up my sister. Gramps. Her name's Angel, and she's in the senior class."
The old man was long-winded. He looked at Jens and Robbie. He was filled with compliments. "Oh? You boys don't seem very young either. Have you gone to college? What were your parents thinking? Why'd they give birth to another sister for you? Other families prefer sons over daughters, and they'd fight for a son when they have none. Your parents must be quite old now, but they still gave birth to another daughter? When they get older in the future, the responsibility of raising your sister will fall on your shoulders. By then, you'll have such tough times."
Robbie was speechless.
The old man was being too rude.
Jens rolled his eyes at him and snorted. "You shouldn't worry too much, old man. Stop prying into other people's business to refrain yourself from overworking."
The old man was at a loss for words from Jens' resentful remarks. Ultimately, he sighed and said, "Child, I was just helping you seek some justice."
The look on Jens' face was extremely gloomy.
Robbie hurriedly said, "Grandpa, only the parents of poor families would pass on the responsibility of raising younger siblings to the older siblings. Our dad's Jay Ares, the richest man in Imperial Capital. You can look into him if you want. He's in his 40s and still in his prime. He can still raise an entire football team if he wants to, not to mention one daughter. My father loves all of his children very much, so we don't need anyone's concern."
The old man was dumbfounded when he heard that they were the young masters of the richest man in Imperial Capital.
Only then did he realize how ridiculous his worries were.
Just after the chattering grandpa was suppressed, the grandma next to the old man interjected again.
"Are you Angel's big brothers?" The grandmother's eyes flickered with a questioning look. "But I often see a beautiful young boy coming to pick Angel home. He also claims to be her brother. Are there other brothers in your family?" Such an important piece of news made Jens and Robbie look at each other in shock. The vigilance of the two boys suddenly rose.
"Do you know our Angel, Grandma?"
"I do. She's in the same class as my grandson. She looks like a fairy. I've never seen such a beautiful girl in my entire life."
Judging from the image described by the grandmother, Robbie and Jens were convinced that she was talking about Angel.
However, they had not picked Angel up for a long time. Who else would pretend to be Angel's brother and pick her up from school every day?
Jens thought for a moment and pulled Robbie to the side. He discussed with Robbie, "Why don't we hide somewhere and secretly observe who's the boy who picks Angel up from school?"
Robbie agreed with him. "Then we should find a good place to hide."
Very soon, the kindergarten bell rang.
All of the parents and grandparents came to pick up their kids one after another. Meanwhile, Angel and Joseph were standing at the gate of the school, eagerly waiting.
"Where's Aunt Shirley?" Joseph stomped on his feet anxiously.
Recently, since Sir Ares and
Angelina were not in Imperial Capital, the task of picking up the kids fell on Shirley. However, Shirley had to take care of her own baby, so she often did not pick up the kids from school on time.
Joseph grew anxious from this.
Angel started reprimanding Joseph, "Can't you be a little patient? Aunt Shirley must have her reasons for being late. Maybe the traffic is congested, or she needs to take care of her baby."
Joseph sat listlessly in the waiting area
After Robbie and Jens waited for a while, they did not notice anyone suspicious. Jens said, 'That's strange. Maybe that person knew we were coming so he hid?'
Chapter 2508
Chapter 2508
All of the little kids left one after another. Only the two children, Angel and Joseph, were left in the waiting area. They looked lonesome but were filled with anticipation.
Jens thought that the mysterious young man would not be coming over to pick up Angel, so he and Robbie gave up their plan to wait for him.
"Let's go, Robbie. He's not coming."
Robbie and Jens walked toward the kids.
When Angel and Joseph saw Jens and Robbie, they were incredibly excited.
"Jens! Robbie!" Angel dashed toward the two.
Robbie walked over and took the lead in picking up Angel.
Jens then went over to hug Joseph. The few people returned to the low-key yet luxurious Mercedes-Benz.
After placing Angel and Joseph in the backseat, Robbie started chatting with Angel.
"Did you miss your big brother, Lil Sis?" Robbie asked with a smile.
He had a warm smile on his face, and his tone was gentle.
Angel looked at Robbie curiously. She held his face in her little hands. She observed something in scrutiny.
Joseph timidly shrank into Jenson's arms and looked at Angel with fearful eyes.
Angel finally asked, "Robbie, they all said you were dead. So, you're not dead after all? Your body is warm and your skin is soft.
You didn't die? I knew that you would live a long life and not die so easily."
Robbie pinched Angel's cute and delicate face. He smiled. "Your big brother was jinxed in the face of disaster. Haven't you heard before that someone who's jinxed will never die?" Angel smiled at him joyfully.
She did not care that Robbie was a jinx.
She merely wanted him to be healthy and have a long life.
At this moment, Jens shot Robbie a meaningful glance. Robbie understood that Jens wanted him to ask Angel about the mysterious young man.
Robbie adjusted his mood, then asked Angel seriously, "Lil Sis, when we weren't at home, who would usually pick you up from school?"
Angel's eyes froze for a moment. After the gloomy look disappeared, she raised her innocent face and said with a smile," There's no need to worry about me, Robbie. Daddy and Mommy would pick me up. If Daddy and Mommy aren't around, they'll arrange for someone to pick us up
from school and send us there."
Her answer was flawless.
Robbie patted Angel's head and said, "Our family's the wealthiest family in the entire Imperial Capital, Lil Sis. You know how taller trees would attract more wind. If someone you don't know.
approaches you, you must tell
us. If
the other party is a bad guy, I can help you to chase the bad guy away."
Angel nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Robbie. I got it."
Jens looked at Angel with an unfathomable gaze. For a moment when the little girl was talking to Robbie, her eyes seemed incredibly deep. It was completely out of line with her age.
Jens concluded that his little sister must be keeping a secret.
However, for such a small child, could there be any secrets that she was keeping from her closest big brother?
Jens sent Angel and Joseph home in a solemn mood.
Little did they know, on their way back to Tourmaline Estate in their Mercedes-Benz, there was a pair of bright eyes that was continuously looking at them.
"Jenson, being too smart is not a good thing." A low voice resounded in the air.
Tourmaline Estate.
When Angel got home, she immediately ran toward Angeline and Jay. She rejoiced happily, saying, "Daddy, Mommy, you're finally home! I missed the two of you so much!" Jens followed her from behind and looked at his sister without blinking.
Chapter 2509
Chapter 2509
Angel's innocence had always come with an imperceptible sense of disobedience. Jens frowned slightly. If only he had been more sensitive.
Jay brought his sons and adopted daughters back to Imperial Capital, which was considered a small reunion for the Ares family. Hence, Grand Old Master Ares specially invited the descendants of the Yorks family as well to reunite for dinner.
During the banquet, the two older men, Grand Old Master Ares and Grand Old Master Yorks, were still in a love-hate relationship with each other. Grand Old Master Yorks said arrogantly, "Ares, Jay's ability to complete such an arduous and complex task this time is enough to show his excellence. You have to thank the Yorks for this. If it weren't for my daughter's genetics, we wouldn't have such an outstanding child."
Grand Old Master Ares shot him an angry look. "Your daughter might be excellent, but she has a lot of shortcomings.
Fortunately, my Jay didn't inherit those shortcomings but inherited his grandmother's love and broadmindedness. Otherwise, just relying on those monsters produced by the Yorks, you'd be better off wishing you had a grandson like him in your next life instead!"
The two showed zero sensitivity to each other's feelings and continuously listed down each other's shortcomings like three-year-old children.
They were divided into factions, so the
Ares and Yorks families soon formed their own camps. The Areses were criticizing Chloe for being out of her mind back then, as well as for breaking Jay and Angeline up so ruthlessly. As for the Yorks, they scolded the Areses for all those years of internal strife, which caused Jay to end up in a wheelchair.
Angeline started flushing when she saw both sides quarreling. She tugged on Jay's sleeve and said, "Darling, shouldn't we stop them?"
Jay sipped on his wine in contentment. ' Let them argue. It's good for the elderly to exercise their brains."
It was just that as they argued, they brought up things from the past to the present time. Grand Old Master Ares snorted. "If it weren't for all of the troubles you Yorks had to face, why would my Jay have to go to Yorks Stronghold to suffer again and again?"
Grand Old Master Yorks argued, "You have to be reasonable here, Ares. It's clear that the Areses and Yorks are closely related. Otherwise, why was the python emblem unresponsive even after being in the Yorks family for generations? As soon as it reached Robbie's hand, it was activated."
Grand Old Master Yorks was at a loss. "Well, that..."
Grand Old Master Yorks forcefully said, "Let's not take it too far back. This time around, why were Jay and his sons the only people who could ss into the ancient tomb of the Oolong Mountain? We lived in Yorks Stronghold all our lives, but no one could get close to that place."

Grand Old Master Ares was dumbfounded again. "That's..." "You can't give me an excuse, can you? Then you should admit defeat. In the future, you'll admit that I defeated yout," said Grand Old Master Yorks.
Grand Old Master Ares was not willing to let it go. He turned to Jay and asked, "Be the judge of this, Jay. All of those disorderly things in Yorks Stronghold, do they have something to do with you?
Jay grabbed his grandpa's hand and said," Although I truly would like to help you out, Grandfather, I can't lie. Everything that happened in Yorks Stronghold was strongly related to us." Grand Old Master Ares showed a surprised expression. "What's the relation?"
Jay said, "There was an ancient tomb in Yorks Stronghold, Grandpa, and there was a mysterious figure buried inside. He looks very much like Jens, Robbie, and me."
Grand Old Master Ares was completely shocked.
Grand Old Master Yorks slapped his thigh and said, "I say! I told you that Robbie and Jens were specially brought together by fate."
Grand Old Master Ares asked suspiciously, "What happened, Jay?"
Jay said perfunctorily, "I don't know either." Then, he nudged Jens with his elbow.
Jens thought that they had taken the topic too far and hurriedly interjected, "Greatgrandfathers, who was in charge of picking up Angel while we were in Yorks Stronghold?" Angel's small body trembled suddenly. This move of hers was seen by Jenson.

Angel's anxiety and insecurity made Jenson sense that that mysterious young man must treat Angel extremely well.
Grand Old Master Ares said, "After both of you left Imperial Capital, Dawn fell sick. Shirley was busy looking after him, so she didn't have time to look after Angel and Joseph. That's why I asked the butler to look for a trustworthy servant to fetch Angel and Joseph to school and back every day."
Jenson continued asking questions," Grandfather, who's that servant?"
Everyone was sensitive and suspicious. Jenson's unusual concern made them aware that something was unusual about this incident.
Grand Old Master Ares replied honestly," The servant is my previous chauffeur, Uncle Fernando."
"I got it," Jenson said.
After having his meal, Jenson went to look for Uncle Fernando.
Uncle Fernando had always been by Grand Old Master Ares' side when he dominated the industry in the past. Now that Grand Old Master Ares was at an old age, he started managing the operations instead. He stayed in the logistics department of Tourmaline Estate all day long and would help Grand Old Master Ares handle some chores.
Jens and the others respected him a lot since he demonstrated extremely high work capabilities. He also adored all of Grand Old Master Ares' children and
grandchildren.
After finding Uncle Fernando, Jens asked straight away, "Uncle Fernando, I'd like to confirm something with you. I hope that you can tell me everything honestly." "Young Master Jens, ask me anything you want. You're the head of the Ares household now. Of course, I'll tell you everything I know."
Jens nodded firmly and said, "Uncle Fernando, have you been fetching Angel to school and back home lately?"
"Miss Shirley would sometimes fetch the kids. She's a really responsible person.
She's been busy looking after Young Master Dawn, but she's still worried about
Little Young Lady Angel."
Jens laughed and said, "My aunt is a reliable person."
He then went back to the main topic." Uncle Fernando, did you notice anyone mysterious approaching Angel when you fetched her to school?" Uncle Fernando immediately shook his head and said, "No."
However, after instinctively replying to Jens' question, he started to seriously contemplate Angel's behavior lately.
He seemed to suddenly think of something. A shocked look flashed across his eyes. His gaze was filled with suspicion and even fear.
"Jens, initially, I really didn't sense anything unusual. However, since you came over just to ask me about this, you must've gotten some clues. I've seriously thought about it more. There's an incident that isn't related to Miss Angel. However, I think that it was rather outrageous. I don't know if these two incidents are related."
Jens said emotionally, "Uncle Fernando, tell me everything."
Uncle Fernando said, "I've always been extremely healthy. You guys know that my body has always been in good health.
However, I passed out in my own car
when I was about to go fetch Angel. I recall passing out when I was
about to get out of the car after parking it in front of the school entrance. This has happened a few times."
After mentioning this, Uncle Fernando cast a purposeful gaze at Jens and said, "Jens, I thought that was in poor health because of my age. Recently, I've been wondering if I should request to retire from Grand Old Master Ares and return to my hometown. I'm unsure now that you've asked me about
नि
this. Could I have passed out due to other reasons?"
Jens said, "Uncle Fernando, have you gone for a medical examination lately?"
"Not yet."
"Go for an examination at once," Jens said. "We must find out the reason you passed out. Is it because of a health problem or were you being manipulated by someone else? This is extremely important."
