Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) -
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.
