Chapter 2571

After Gale performed acupuncture treatment on Jens, Jens' fingertips twitched slightly. Angeline shouted out in surprise, "Jens!"

Jens slowly opened his eyes. His body felt extremely heavy, and he was unable to move. He asked Sir Ares weakly, "Daddy, what happened to me?"

Sir Ares caressed Jens' head pitifully and said gently, "Jens, you were unconscious for a few days for no particular reason. Gale rescued you. How are you feeling right now?" Jens cast his gaze at Gale. When he saw him, a hint of shock flashed across his eyes. He had not seen Gale in almost half a year, yet his appearance and aura had completely changed.

Jens told Gale weakly, "Gale, thank you for saving my life. However, why can't I move?"

Gale said, "My medical skills are lacking. I can only help you regain consciousness. Baby Zetty is the only one who's capable of helping you after she gets back." "Baby Zetty?" Jens looked at Sir Ares in amazement. "Baby Zetty is back?"

Sir Ares said, "We've notified her about it, but we don't know if she has read our message. Jens, you must think of a way to get better with your strong mental power." Jens nodded and said, "I got it."

After coming out from Jens' room, Angeline quietly ordered her personal servant, "Prepare a huge gift for Gale."

The servant headed off to do as she said.

Sir Ares asked Gale to stay back. "Gale, you saved Jens' life. The Ares family will never forget what you did for us. If you need us to help you out in any way in the future, we'll definitely help you out as best as we can."

Gale smiled and said, "You're welcome, Sir Ares."

Just then, the servant returned with a wooden box in her hands. Angeline accepted it and walked in front of Gale. She smiled and said, "Gale, this is a small gift for you. I hope you accept it."

Gale stared at the wooden box. He did not reach out to accept it. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Madam Angeline, I think that there'll be many instances where I'll require help from the Ares family in the future. I'll leave this gift in the Ares household for now. If I encounter any trouble in the future, Pll definitely ask the

Ares family for help.'

Angeline handed the wooden box to him and said, "Keep this gift. It won't change the fact that you can always ask us for help in the future."

Gale glanced at Angeline. This beautiful woman looked extremely weak and frail, but she had a tough and generous personality.

"In that case, I'll gladly accept it." Gale had no choice but to accept the gift.

Gale was about to leave, but

Grayson and the others could not bear to watch him leave. They all said excitedly, "Gale, we still haven't seen the results of the duel between you and Baby Robbie. Why don't stay here for a few days and have a duel with Baby Robbie? That way, our curiosity will be placated."

Angeline was extremely eager for Gale to stay back as well. She had planned everything out thoughtfully If Gale stayed at the Ares household, he would be able to monitor Jens' condition, and she would be a lot less worried.

Therefore, Angeline secretly pinched Sir Ares' arm and hinted for him to ask Gale to stay back.

There was an awkward expression on Sir Ares' face. He glanced at the excited expression on Angeline's face, then looked at Gale's handsome face. He was extremely hesitant.

Angeline pinched him forcefully once again when she noticed that he was not doing anything. Sir Ares resisted the pain and teased Angeline softly, "Angeline, you're acting more like a tigress the older you get. Angeline glanced at him and asked, "Are you saying that I'm a fierce tigress?"

Sir Ares cowered at once. "I... I'm afraid of tigresses."

Angeline asked, "Are you still not going to listen to me?"

Sir Ares lowered his head and told Gale," Gale, look at how much they can't bear for you to leave. Why don't you stay the night today?"

It would be better if he left tomorrow.

Chapter 2572

Chapter 2572

Gale did not reject Sir Ares' offer. He said in a generous tone, "Since you asked me to stay back, there's no reason for me to reject your offer, Sir Ares."

Sir Ares then told Baby Robbie, "Baby Robbie, help Gale settle in well."

Baby Robbie said, "Yes."

Baby Robbie chuckled and told Gale, "I'll bring you to a room where you can rest first. We can hold the duel after you're done resting."

Gale said, "That's fine."

Baby Robbie led Gale in the opposite direction of Angel's courtyard.

Gale turned around to glance at Angel's courtyard, which was located in the far distance. A shocked gaze appeared in his eyes as he asked softly, "Baby Robbie, why are we heading in the direction opposite of Chateau de Selene?" His voice was extremely tentative.

Given Sir Ares' reaction just now, he must not want him to stay in Tourmaline Estate. Gale could not help but wonder if Sir Ares already knew about his identity.

Baby Robbie was extremely innocent. He did not suspect Gale's identity at all. He said honestly, "You don't know how much my daddy loves his daughters. His greatest wish is for his children to stay by his side for a long time, but Baby Zetty fell in love with one of his guards. My daddy is extremely upset due to her relationship. He's been feeling extremely regretful since he couldn't keep Baby Zetty by his side. Now that Angel is growing up, my daddy has learned from his past lesson and banned any young and handsome men from interacting with Angel to prevent her from falling for any men."

He glanced at Gale and said, "How can my daddy not keep an eye on someone like you?"

Gale smiled understanding^ and said, "I see."

He felt slightly distracted. Sir Ares wanted Angel to stay by his side for as long as possible. This was what all parents wished for. However, he could not grant him this wish.

As Angel grew up, the uniqueness of her identity would become increasingly obvious. By then, it would be extremely dangerous for her to stay here.

Baby Robbie noticed the distracted look on Gale's face. He smiled innocently and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Gale felt slightly awkward as he explained, Oh, I was just thinking that Sir Ares loves his daughters a lot. A father's love is boundless. It made me recall my own father. If he were still here, he would protect his own children like Sir Ares."

Gale feared up as he mentioned this.

Baby Robbie was stunned. "Your father must be an incredible person."

Gale sighed and said, "Yes, he's an extremely amazing person."

In the evening, the younger ones headed to Gale's room after having dinner.

"Gale, we're all waiting to watch the duel between Baby Robbie and you."

Gale and Baby Robbie smiled at each other as soon as they walked out. Baby Robbie clasped his hands together in front of him and said, "Gale, please go easy on me."

Gale nodded. Both of them then started fighting.

Baby Robbie already knew that Gale was extremely skilled in martial arts.

Therefore he unleashed all of his capabilities from the very start. He had been training himself hard for the past six months. His martial arts had improved greatly.

Gale was beyond shocked as soon as Baby Robbie attacked. Gale thought that Baby Robbie's talent in martial arts had exceeded his considering his young age.

However, Baby Robbie did not know

that given Gale's true age, his martial art skills were already at their greatest peak. He was just hiding his true abilities so that Baby Robbie would misunderstand things and assume that their skills were a match for each other.

Gale and Baby Robbie were neck-to-neck with each other. Baby Robbie attacked while Gale defended himself.

Gale blocked Baby Robbie's attacks. The battle went on heatedly.

Everyone watching the duel by the side was extremely excited. It was fascinating to watch a battle. between experts in martial arts whose skills were a match for each other.

Finally, Angel's sudden appearance ended this duel.

"Sob sob, Robbie! Joseph and Dawn are bullying me.

Chapter 2573

Chapter 2573

Angel usually faced everything in a headstrong manner and never feared anything. She was not afraid of any animals or poisonous bugs, let alone Joseph and Dawn. Nothing could make her feel any fear. However, Angel was acting extremely out of character right now. Her eyes were filled with shiny tears. She looked extremely pitiful.

Baby Robbie lost the mood to fight in the duel after seeing Angel in such a state. However, when he prepared to stop fighting Gale, he realized that Gale had stopped moving before he did.

Gale's shocked gaze landed on Angel. Baby Robbie noticed his gaze.

Baby Robbie was extremely shocked. He suddenly came to his sense. Gale and Angel

Angel might be acting this way because of Gale.

Baby Robbie turned around and walked toward Angel. "Sis Angel, how did Joseph and Dawn bully you?"

Angel wiped her tears with the back of her hand as she sobbed. "Both of them banded together to bully me. Joseph said that the adults call me a tiger because I'm a ferocious tigress. Dawn said that nobody will marry a ferocious tigress. Sob sob sob, no one will want to marry me."

Baby Robbie was stunned.

Everyone had their fatal flaw. Was this Sis Angel's fatal flaw?

Baby Robbie laughed out loud and said," Angel Sis, the Ares family has their own rules. If you can't resolve a problem, simply use your fists to resolve the conflict."

Angel said in an aggrieved tone, "But Uncle Cole loves Dawn. If I hit him, he'll tell Uncle. If I hit both of them, Uncle Cole might work together with Joseph's father to go against our daddy. That won't be worth it at all."

Baby Robbie caressed Angel's head and chuckled, "Sis Angel, don't worry, Even if a dozen of people like them appear, our daddy will still go against them without fear."

Angel nodded and clenched her hands into fists. "Robbie, I'd like to teach them a lesson. Can you help protect me?"

Baby Robbie said, "Alright."

It was Gale's turn to be stunned right now.

"Baby Robbie, our duel..."

"There's no need to resume the duel."

A smart glint appeared in Gale's eyes.

Baby Robbie knew a lot of moves, and he did not want to lose to Baby Robbie in battle. Therefore, both of them were at a draw. If Angel had not appeared, who knew how long the duel would have gone on?

Grayson and the others were overjoyed. Both of them were at t for several hundred rounds, but no one emerged as the winner. It

seems like both of them have similar levels of skills."

Baby Robbie brought Angel to Tourmaline Estate. When Joseph and Dawn saw Baby Robbie, they glared at Angel with angered looks in their eyes.

"Tattletale," they said at the same time.

Baby Robbie clenched his hands into fists furiously. "I'm not going to argue with you guys. If you're that capable, come fight me."

Joseph and Dawn looked at each other. Their martial art skills had been below that of Angel's for an extremely long time. Nevertheless new opportunities had opened up for them, and they had the important realization that a gentleman should always speak up instead of taking action.

"A good man won't go against girls," Dawn said.

"We'll go easy on you," Joseph said.

Angel was speechless due to rage. "Both of you won't be able to defeat me."

These words were extremely humiliating. "Alright, I'll take a step back. Both of you can come forward to hit me once. How's that?" Angel asked angrily.

Chapter 2574

Chapter 2574

Angel's words humiliated Joseph and Dawn. Joseph was used to being humiliated by Angel, so he remained expressionless. However, there was an unwilling gaze in Dawn's eyes. Dawn looked at Joseph and told him angrily, "Joseph, Angel is being way too reckless. We must teach her a lesson today. Otherwise, she'll take advantage of us and order us around in the future." Joseph said in a cowardly tone, "But my father is extremely tolerating of her. My father says that I'll just be a bully if I manage to win against Angel in battle. I won't be a heroic person."

Dawn's expression turned icier as he raised his fist and walked toward Angel.

He said, "My father said, 'You can kill someone, but not humiliate them.' Angel Ares, I'd like to challenge you to a duel."

Angel waved her hand at them playfully and said, "Come over if you dare to."

Dawn leaped up in the air and started fighting with Angel.

Baby Robbie and Gale watched the battle by the side. Dawn and Angel had yet to undergo formal martial arts training. They did not use any techniques while fighting. Dawn grabbed Angel's ponytail whereas Angel bit Dawn's arm. Both of them would not let the other go.

Initially, Angel had the upper hand.

However, Joseph joined the battle when he saw Dawn getting teary-eyed after Angel bit him. He pulled Angel's ponytail and wrapped his arm around her torso as he dragged her backward. Angel slowly lost the upper hand.

Her eyes reddened in anger as her hair fell out of her ponytail. She looked like a furious little leopard.

Angel had a fatal flaw, and that was her stubborn personality. She would never admit defeat. She would not admit that she had lost although she was at a disadvantage.

Dawn and Joseph wanted to teach her a lesson, so they would not go easy on her either.

"Stop fighting." Baby Robbie stopped the fight as he pitied Angel.

Angel said in a stubborn tone, "Robbie, just ignore me. I'll definitely be able to defeat them."

Baby Robbie retreated.

Gale stared at Angel, whose hair was in a mess. There was a speechless expression on his face Suddenly, he turned around to stare at Baby Robbie and teased him, "Did your sister inherit your mother's personality?"

Baby Robbie looked around him. He nodded silently when he realized that his father's subordinates were nowhere to be seen.

"Gale, you should just say these words in front of me in the future. My daddy can't find out about it. In my daddy's heart, my mommy is perfect." Gale burst out into laughter. "Your mommy is truly perfect."

Baby Robbie was rather speechless once again. "My mommy is good at everything. but she has a fair share of flaws as well. My grandmother told me that my mommy was extremely mischievous when she was young. She always fought with my uncle and beat him up till he bled. My uncle would always let her be as well..."

Gale stared at Baby Robbie in disbelief.

Baby Robbie added, "My mommy is extremely strict toward my daddy as well. She always says that even though my daddy is older than her, she won't allow him to die before her. Therefore, she monitors him every day and makes sure that he exercises..."

"Speaking of which, my mommy is actually extremely bossy. However, my uncle and daddy dote on her a lot. They always let her have her way."

Gale looked at Angel in fear. He wondered if Angel had inherited Madam Angelina's bossy and demanding personality.

Angel had turned the tide of the battle around. She flipped over and sat on Dawn's torso. Her hair was in a mess as she grabbed the back of Dawn's neck and asked angrily, "Do you admit defeat?" Joseph was so shocked that he started sobbing by the side.

Baby Robbie walked over and pulled Angel down.

Dawn got up and patted away the mud and dust on him. He then said angrily, "You're right. I won't deny it. Wait for me. I'll definitely take revenge on you."

Chapter 2575

Chapter 2575

Angel made a face at Dawn and teased him, "I'll be waiting for you."

Dawn glared at Angel, who was behaving extremely cheekily.

Joseph dragged Dawn to the side and comforted him. "Dawn, don't be angry.

Daddy said that it's always the hardest for one to deal with women and treacherous people. We should distance ourselves from clever girls." Dawn dragged Joseph away. "Let's go."

Angel, who was left alone, stared at Dawn and Joseph's silhouettes in a daze. Tears filled her eyes.

Baby Robbie felt extremely confused. Did Angel, who had always been extremely tough, have moments of weakness as well?

Gale seemed to understand Angel's misery. He walked over to her side and wiped her tears gently. He comforted her softly. "Angel, don't be upset. They're just jealous because you're way too strong. That's why they're angry at you. This isn't your fault." Angel sniffed and suddenly ran out. She chased after Dawn and Joseph and called out, "Dawn, Joseph!"

Baby Robbie's gaze was filled with shock, then confusion. "What's wrong with Sis Angel?"

Gale said, "She places too much importance on her interpersonal relationships."

Baby Robbie stared at Gale as a hint of sharpness glinted in his confused gaze. He elbowed Gale's arm lightly and smiled as he asked, "Why does it seem like you understand Sis Angel really well?" Gale was stunned. A look of regret flashed across his gaze.

If he really understood her, how could he have lost the woman he loved? How could he watch her go through the cycle of reincarnation repeatedly and experience the pain of losing her family in every lifetime? The pain and helplessness that he felt taught him how to love and protect his beloved woman.

However, he came to this realization way too late.

He simply wished that he would be able to save her from the cycle of reincarnation and change her fate as a Scorpio Lone Star in this lifetime.

Baby Robbie stared at Gale. He felt rather taken aback by the complex expression on his face. Gale was a man with a story.

Baby Robbie felt intrigued.

Baby Robbie suddenly had many curious thoughts about Gale.

He approached Baby Zetty intentionally, treated Jens' illness, and helped Angel resolve her troubles. Baby Robbie was extremely curious about who Gale's final target was.

On the way back to the courtyard. Baby Robbie asked Gale casually, "Gale, do you have a girl you like?"

Gale cast a sideways glance at Baby Robbie and said, "Why are you suddenly asking me about my personal affairs?"

After a momentary pause. Gale

pondered upon it for a while and said in a wistful tone, "I'm different

from you guys. I grew up on my own without my parents by my side. don't have a great family

background or any assets.

ven if I

like someone, nobody will be willing to let their daughters marry me."

Baby Robbie patted his shoulder and comforted him, saying, "I believe that you'll be able to build a huge castle full of riches for the girl you like with your own abilities."

Gale's eyes shone as he said, "Baby

Robbie, you're right. I'll grow

stronger on my own and build. beautiful castle for the girl I love just like how your daddy built Grand Asia Empire for your mummy."

Baby Robbie sighed, "I wonder which girl won your heart. She must have plenty of luck from her past life."

Gale smiled without saying anything. Baby Robbie sent Gale to the guest room and exchanged a few formalities with him before leaving.

A servant looked for Baby Robbie in a hurry and reported, "Young Master Robbie, Young Master Jens would like to see you."

Baby Robbie rushed over to Jens' ward.

Jens was still extremely weak. He

could not get up and could only lie on the bed, but he could move his eyes around. His fingers could twitch slightly as well. He was able to speak for a while after getting sufficient rest.

Chapter 2576

Chapter 2576

"Jens." Baby Robbie made his way in front of Jens' bed and sat down on the chair by the side of his bed. He then cast a warm gaze at Jens and said in a pitiful tone," You've always shown everyone your strongest side. It's my first time seeing you in such a weak state. Jens, if I manage to find out the culprit who schemed against you, I definitely won't let them go easily."

Jens showed him a genuine smile as he said, "Baby Robbie, I'm different from you. I'm the inheritor of the Grand Asia Empire. I bear a lot of responsibilities. Naturally, I'm in the way of the financial goals of many people. Since they can't stop me, they'll try employing those skilled in black magic to get rid of me." "Jens, it must be tough on you." Baby Robbie felt extremely guilty. "It's all my fault. I don't know anything about managing finances. I can't help you out at all."

Jens said, "Don't be guilty. You and I are both skilled in different things. You're destined to protect the country. Baby Robbie, I called you over today because I need your expertise. I need you to do me a favor." Baby Robbie was overjoyed. "I'm happy to help you out."

Jens said, "Actually, Daddy locked me in the secret room and forced me to reflect upon my actions because he wanted me to analyze the entire situation and find out who's the hidden culprit. I've pondered upon it for a long time, and I've developed some insights."

Baby Robbie stood up straight and listened to Jens intently.

"As the saying goes, money can work miracles. People skilled in magic have always been puppets who are easily manipulated by money and resources. Therefore, regardless of whether the culprit is Savannah Jones or the mysterious man who approached Angel, I think they're doing this just to get more resources.

"Meanwhile, there aren't many families that are able to compete against the Ares family in Imperial Capital. There are the Bells, but I defeated them a few years ago, the Collins, and the Hiltons. The descendants of the Collins and Hiltons families are extremely weak. They don't stand a chance to rebuild their empire after I defeated them back then. However, the Bells hold a deep hatred toward the Ares family. Besides, their descendants have developed their businesses extremely

rapidly. If they had contacted their ancestors' supporters back then and made use of the resources that their ancestors accumulated, it's certainly possible for them to rebuild their empire." "The Bells? Are you referring to Sara Severe's treacherous father?" Baby Robbie asked.

Jens nodded and said, "He got sent into prison back then. After that, he got severely ill and was released on medical parole. Mommy was always nice to Sara. That's why I kept him alive.

"I heard that he's been active in the dark these years. He has a motive to rebuild his business. He's one of the reasons why the Ares family is the most powerful in the industry. However, he might not be as simple as we assumed."

Baby Robbie clenched his hands into fists

furiously. "If he wants to make a comeback, he should openly go against the Åres family. Since he secretly harmed you with black magic he shouldn't blame us trying to stave off evil with constant vigilance."

Jens said, "These are just my hunches.

Baby Robbie, you must be cautious when dealing with things that haven't been proved."

Baby Robbie stared at Jens in confusion. You've always been extremely sturdy and reliable. You surely have evidence for what you just said. Jens, tell me. Do you know anything else?"

Jens smiled and said, "I have a roommate. His last name is Bell."

Baby Robbie's expression lit up as he said," The Bells have really taken plenty of precaution."

Baby Robbie got up and said firmly, "Jens, wait for me to bring you news."

"Yes."

When Baby Robbie walked to the entrance, he turned around and told Jens, "Brother, our sister-in-law is Sis Whitty, right?" Jens was slightly stunned.

Baby Robbie said, "Sis Whitty hasn't

slept for a few days. She's been trying to help you find the culprit who put you in this state for several

days." Content belongveral

A hurt look flashed across Jens' gaze as he said, "Tell her to rest well. She's my beautiful bride."

Baby Robbie smiled in joy. "I got it."

Chapter 2577

Chapter 2577

Baby Robbie decided to pay the Bell household a visit.

However, the Bells and Areses had been rivals for a long time. He was afraid that he would indirectly cause the Bells to be suspicious of him if he suddenly paid them a visit.

Finally, Baby Robbie decided to ask Rosie, who was born in the Bell family, to help him find some clues.

Baby Robbie looked for Rosie. He had not looked for the sisters and chatted with them for a long time. Rosie was extremely suspicious of his intentions as well.

"Baby Robbie, you wouldn't have come here for no reason, right? Tell me. Why are you looking for me?"

Baby Robbie sat down next to Rosie with a charming look on his face and helped her to massage her back. He said warmly," You're overthinking, Sis Rosie. Can't I come over to visit my beloved sister even if there aren't any pressing matters?"

"You're getting better at coming up with excuses the more you grow up," Rosie chastised Baby Robbie. However, there was a radiant smile on her face.

"Has your leg fully recovered?" Baby Robbie suddenly showed her his concern.

Rosie raised her leg up straight at said in a playful tone, "It recovered a long time ago. Baby Robbie, if you need me to beat up or kill anyone, I'll definitely help you."

Baby Robbie pulled her leg down and said,' Sis Rosie, Imperial Capital is a peaceful place. Don't try to beat up or kill people for no reason. That isn't good."

An angered expression suddenly appeared on Rosie's face as she said, "Baby Robbie, if you still treat me as your sister, tell me everything honestly."

Baby Robbie scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "Sis Rosie, you're really wise. You can read my mind so quickly. I'm not treating you like an outsider. I just find my next request extremely difficult and forceful. It's hard for me to bring it up to you."

Rosie thought about it for a while and guessed, "Does it have something to do with the Bells?"

Baby Robbie stared at Rosie in shock. "Sis Rosie, you're really a fortune teller. How could you guess that?"

Rosie laughed and said, "I'm not smart nor, did I guess it spot on at once. Actually, I was the most worried about my identity when I was living in the Ares household. Baby Robbie, I'll tell you the truth. I suppressed my feelings for you when I was in the military intelligence division because of my identity. However, after that, your kindness and Daddy and Mommy's generosity made me slowly put everything down. Therefore, when I noticed that you were in such a difficult position this time, I guessed that it's because we were both born in rival families."

Baby Robbie said honestly, "Sis Rosie, if you think that this is too difficult for you, I won't make you do it."

Rosie blurted out, "I don't find it difficult."

Baby Robbie was stunned.

He stared at Rosie silently. Rosie's gaze was filled with heated passion. His heart burned under her gaze. "Baby Robbie, I'm willing to do anything for you without asking for anything in return," Rosie said.

Baby Robbie said, "I regret coming here, Sis Rosie. I shouldn't take advantage of your feelings toward me." Rosie smiled and said, "Don't be pressured. This is my own choice."

Baby Robbie nodded.

The next day.

Rosie brought Baby Robbie, who was dressed up in disguise, to pay a visit to the elders of the Bell family.

Rosie came to the entrance of the

Bell household. After reporting to the family, someone informed her that the butler would bring her in the meet Old Master

Bell.

Rosie was finally meeting her grandfather. She was touched. After all, she had been wandering outside for many years. She still had a deep desire to experience some familial ties. How could she not feel touched after seeing her relative?

She choked and called out, "Grandfather."

However, Old Master Bell was not as

eager as she was. He asked Rosie a

few questions in a stern voice

elder.

Swno

"I heard that you were taken in by the Ares family."

Rosie nodded.

an

"Does Sir Ares know about you coming over to the Bell household to meet your relatives?"

Rosie shook her head and said, "I don't dare

to let him know."

Chapter 2578 Chapter 2578 Old Master Bell seemed to be extremely proud of Rosie's answer. His expression relaxed as the tone of his voice softened as well.

"Rosie, I heard about your incident a long time ago. I heard that you're helping out as an advisor in the military intelligence division. You're great at martial arts, and you're smarter than everyone else. You're really outstanding. It's a pity that your father lost you. This is his loss, and the Bell family's loss as well. Now that you're back, we're definitely happy to welcome you.

However, I wonder what are your plans for coming back this time around?"

Rosie started acting pitiful. She squeezed out a few tears and said wistfully." Grandfather, I don't have any other intentions. However, I'm all grown up now. When I see the other sisters uniting with their families, I start missing my own family a lot. That's why I want to return to my roots and reunite with my family. I met my biological father several years ago. I told him who I was with tears in my eyes, but he valued his personal benefits more and only wanted the Ares family to prepare dowry for me. He's a heartless man. Despite how much I value my familial relationships, I had no choice but to cut ties with him."

Old Master Bell nodded and said angrily," Your father is an animal. How dare he not recognize his own daughter? He's worse than farmstock."

While Rosie was chatting with Old Master Bell, Baby Robbie took the opportunity to scan the faces of the people in the Bell household.

These people all had unfamiliar faces.

He was stupefied by the only familiar face that he spotted.

It was Hecate.

Baby Robbie was secretly shocked. Why was Hecate over here?

Rosie had high emotional and overall intelligence. Soon after, she managed to coax Old Master Bell and make him extremely happy. Old Master Bell chatted away happily with Rosie. He lowered his guard and started introducing Rosie to all her relatives in the room.

When it was Hecate's turn to be introduced, Old Master Bell said, "She's your cousin."

He did not announce her name and simply introduced her as Rosie's cousin.

However, Rosie sensed Baby Robbie's heated gaze on Hecate. She could not help but cast a few more stares at her.

Chills crept up Rosie's back when she looked at her.

Hecate exuded a calm aura. She seemed cold and rather distant. However, the distant air that she gave off made people develop the urge to approach her.

Rosie naturally thought of someone when she noticed Hecate's mysterious aura, and that was their late Sis Shirley.

Baby Robbie was extremely close to Sis Shirley. Hecate's facial features and aura reminded her of Sis Shirley. Rosie was worried that Baby Robbie was finding it hard to stop obsessing over his past over relationships.

When Old Master Bell asked Rosie to stay back for a meal, she rejected his offer courteously and said, "Grandfather, there's still something that I need to do. I don't have the time to stay back for a meal today. I'll definitely come over to have a meal another day."

Old Master Bell did not put Rosie in a difficult situation. He simply nodded at Hecate and told her, "Send your cousin out."

Hecate walked over with a cold expression on her face. Rosie dragged Baby Robbie, who was in a daze, along with her, turned around, and left.

As they walked out of the villa, Rosie finally calmed down. She turned around and asked Hecate tentatively, "How old are you this year?"

"I'm 16 years old."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

Hecate's bright gaze landed on Rosie as she asked, "Are you going to introduce a boy to me, Cousin?"

"What do you think about the little young master of the Ares family?" Rosie asked tentatively.

Baby Robbie coughed.

Rosie was pulling his leg. Luckily, he was in disguise. Otherwise, he would not be able to face Hecate.

Hecate did not look at Baby Robbie in disgust like she usually did. There was a look of hatred and jealousy on her face as she spoke to Rosie in a sarcastic tone," Cousin, not everyone can be like you. Not only are you a foster daughter of the Ares family, but you're also a daughter of the Bell family."

Her voice was filled with exasperation.

 

Chapter 2579

Chapter 2579

Rosie could tell the implications behind Hecate's words. She chuckled and said, "Are you worried that the conflict between the Bell and Ares families will affect your relationship with Baby Robbie, Sis Hecate? Don't worry. My parents are understanding people. They always stand up for their own loved ones as well. Therefore, they support all of their children's relationships."

Hecate sneered and said, "Sis Rosie, you're extremely close to the Ares family. Mr. and Mrs. Ares are generous people as well.

They treat their foster children like their own children. I don't understand the motive behind your return to the Bell household." After that, she cast a sharp gaze at Rosie.

Rosie felt rather guilty. However, she remained calm and silent as she possessed a considerable amount of experience.

"Sis Hecate, didn't I tell everyone just now? I returned to the Bell household because I miss my blood relatives."

"Sis Rosie, you disregarded how the Ares family brought you up and came back here just because you miss your blood relatives? Hehe, if there comes a day when you develop a strong bond with the Bell family but the Ares and Bell families are unable to tolerate each other, I wonder what decision you'll make."

A cold glint flashed across Rosie's gaze.

This was a non-existential conflict for her.

She was at the Bell household as a spy right now.

She had cut ties with the Bell family a long time ago. How could she develop a strong bond with them? It was all the more impossible for her to cut ties with her foster parents just because of the Bell family. Rosie was not an ungrateful person.

"You're thinking way too far ahead, Sis Hecate. I just know that we should live in the present and think about future problems when they arrive. Why would you bother worrying so much?"

Hecate did not say anything else. She simply said, "I wish you all the best, Sis Rosie."

She then turned around to leave.

How could Rosie leave without any gains? She challenged Hecate on purpose, "Sis Hecate, given your pessimistic personality, it'll be hard for you to find happiness regardless of whether you're living in the Bell or Ares household. I'm different from you. I'm grateful for what I have, and I'm always blessed with happiness. That's why I'm loved by both families."

Rosie's words hurt Hecate's heart. There was a cold and sharp gaze in her eyes when she turned around., The ferocious look in her eyes made her seem like a demon that was about to drag Rosie into hell it was as if she wanted to burn Rosie to death.

"Sis Rosie, since you're intent on returning to the Bell household, I'll welcome you with open arms. Why don't we go out to have some fun on the weekend?" Rosie could tell that she was provoking her. However, she accepted her offer." Alright, let's do it."

Hecate then turned around arrogantly and left.

Rosie's gaze gradually darkened. She then glanced at Baby Robbie, who was watching them from the sidelines. "What do you like about her?" Baby Robbie was stunned.

He had watched the diplomatic fight between the women just now. He knew that Rosie was still angry right now. Naturally, he would not dare to take Hecate's side.

"Sis Rosie, you know that I always appreciate people with beautiful appearances. I developed a liking for her because of her beautiful looks," Baby Robbie said as he feigned a sense of nonchalance. Women were odd creatures. They could accept it if the man that they liked was a loving person, but they could not accept the fact that the man that they liked was devoted to someone other than them. Baby Robbie answered Rosie's question that way because he knew her well. Therefore, Rosie's rage was soon quelled.

Rosie chuckled and said,

"Technically, can't control who you like. However, Hecate is way too arrogant She doesn't respect you at all. I won't allow you to like her you must like a girl who loves, respects, and protects you. She can't behave haughtily in front of you.

Baby Robbie lowered his head.

He might never be able to find a girlfriend. His daddy and mommy wanted him to find someone who shared the same interests as him. Meanwhile, his sisters wanted him to find someone who loved him more than they did.

How could he find someone who could fulfill all these requirements?

Chapter 2580

Rosie noticed the dark expression on Baby Robbie's face. Suddenly, she sighed out loud in a wistful manner and told him seriously, "Baby Robbie, don't listen to the nonsense that I said. You can like anyone. That's your own business. As your sister, how can I interfere with your private matters?" She then left in a hurry after speaking.

Baby Robbie glanced at Rosie's upset silhouette. He let out a weak sigh as well.

The sisters were all grown up. All of them had started developing romantic feelings. Sis Rosie, who had matured at a young age, did not conceal her love for him at all. Although she respected Baby Robbie's choices, he still felt extremely pressured.

After returning to Tourmaline Estate, Baby Robbie lay on the bed. His mind was full of Hecate's beautiful face. He tossed and turned in bed but still could not fall asleep. He then sat upright and sat cross-legged on his bed.

Somehow, the conversation between Hecate and Rosie kept replaying in Baby Robbie's mind. It lingered in his mind for a long time.

Baby Robbie vaguely felt that Hecate seemed to be working for the Bell family for some reasons that she could not speak of.

Therefore, Baby Robbie, who felt extremely tormented as well, finally garnered the courage to send a text to Hecate's phone number.

[Hecate, it's Robert Ares.] This time, Hecate answered Baby Robbie's text message at once. [Are you finding it hard to sleep? Same here. Shall we chat?]

Baby Robbie was taken aback. However, he regained some of his logical senses after a short moment of distraction.

Hecate had always been arrogant. Suddenly, she was acting uncharacteristically by initiating a conversation with him. This might have something to do with Rosie. Rosie had shown off her happiness in front of Hecate in the morning. She might have triggered Hecate.

Although Baby Robbie knew that Hecate had ulterior motives, he still could not help but indulge in her.

Baby Robbie replied to her: [Sure, you can tell me anything. I'll listen to you.]

[Can I call you Baby Robbie like the other sisters?]

[Of course, you can ]

[I'll be going out with Sis Rosie on the weekend. You should come with us ]

Baby Robbie accepted her offer at once. [ Sure.]

He did not notice Hecate's hidden intentions due to his boyish carelessness. During the weekend.

Rosie headed off to where she had agreed to meet up with Hecate. She then realized that Hecate had brought a few other girls with her Hecate told her that those girls were her best friends. Rosie did not say anything about it either.

However, after that, a few boys arrived consecutively as well. They were the boyfriends of Hecate's best friends. Rosie felt rather awkward since she was single. Something even more awkward happened. When Baby Robbie arrived, Hecate told Rosie, "I invited him here." There was a proud expression on her face. Rosie's expression darkened at once.

Baby Robbie noticed the group of people that were standing in pairs. He cast a guilty glance at Rosie, who was standing alone. He felt extremely dazed and helpless.

However, Hecate linked arms with Baby Robbie boldly and said, "Baby Robbie, I'm really happy that you were able to make it today."

Baby Robbie noticed the pale expression on Rosie's face. He then said in an unnatural tone, "I thought that there would only be the three of us."

Hecate said, "I thought that it

wouldn't be fun with just the few of us, so I decided to hold a gathering with couples. I did tell Sis Rosie that it would be a gathering with couples, but it seems like she hasn't found herself a partner yet. Sis Rosie is the only one without a dance partner now..."

An unpleasant expression appeared on Rosie's face. Hecate was being a complete hypocrite and acting like a total b*tch. She could not bear it I b*tch.

anymore. She turned around and left angrily.

Baby Robbie attempted to chase after her. " Sis Rosie."

However, Hecate held him back and said," Baby Robbie, I invited you as my dance partner."

Baby Robbie looked at Hecate and cast a distracted gaze at her for some time. He then smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go."

Rosie returned to Tourmaline Estate. She was so angered that she started throwing things around.

The sisters questioned her at once, "Sis Rosie, weren't you supposed to go out with Hecate today?" Rosie said angrily, "She's a total b*tch."
