Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) -
Chapter 414
Rose said hurriedly, "I don't mind being humiliated, just give me money and shame me! The more the better!"
Jay burst out laughing. "Little miser."
He removed a credit card from his suit pocket and handed it to Rose. "Take this!"
"Sir Ares, does this even have money in it?" She thought that cash was more substantial.
Jay's face darkened. All of his liquidated assets were in there and here she was, suspecting that it was empty.
"Go replace out yourself," he said coldly.
Then, Rose happily put it away.
Glancing over to her, he asked, "When I gave you money back then, why'd you refuse?"
She replied proudly, "That was different. Back then, you wanted me to trade my kids, so of course I wouldn't do that. Today, I'm selling off my calligraphy. Moreover, that calligraphy is worthless, so why won't I sell it?"
Smiling, he said, "Not bad. At least clean money is important to you." "Of course."
Suddenly, a shriek of horror came echoing from outside the doors!
"My son died a horrible death, Old Master Ares. You have to do me justice!"
They heard that person's voice before they could see who they were.
Old Master Ares already had a frown across his face.
"Grandpa, it must be the family of the victim who was caught in the fire. They're seeking for justice," said Jay calmly.
As he said that, they saw a woman clad in a black dress and had a black veil across her face with a white flower on her head intrude the scene. She threw herself down before Old Master Ares' feet. Jay and Rose could only step aside to make room for her.
The woman wailed woefully, "Old Master Ares, my Little Xavier was a poor little kid. He was shunned by others since he was little, so I didn't place much hope in him. All I wanted was for him to live his life in peace. Who knew that he'd be destroyed by the fire? Why is my Xavier's life so bitter?"
Rose's eyes turned red.
She could understand this young mother's pain of losing her child. Back then when she missed Jens while she was away from home, it was torture. This mother, however, was faced with the pain of losing her beloved child forever.
There was a hoarseness in Old Master Ares' voice. "I'm deeply saddened by Xavier's death. Don't you worry, the Ares family will give you an answer that you'll be satisfied with."
The lady almost passed out from all that crying, but she continued to sob. "Old Master Ares, it's easier to travel to hell and back than to meet with you. If it wasn't for your birthday today, what right would I have to step into Tourmaline Estate? I request of you, Old Master Ares, to give me your statement!"
The air in the room became tense.
It was obvious that the woman had intentions of pressing Old Master Ares.
Cameras were aimed at the woman, clicking away endlessly.
Jay's cold and sharp voice rang across the room, "All other people unrelated to this matter, leave. Now."
The people in the room scattered like a flock of startled birds.
Jay sent everyone out, then he turned over to Rose who was still there. "You should leave too."
Rose replied, "Old Master Ares opened my gift, so I'm not an outsider."
Jay,"..."
The ones left in the room were relatives of the Ares family.
At that moment, James mustered his courage to walk forward. He embraced his second wife and consoled her, "Cassandra, don't be sad-"
The woman forcefully pushed him away and scolded, "Don't you touch me. When our son died, all you did was hide. Were you afraid our relationship would spoil your public image? Now that the media has gone away, you're pretending to show me what little love you have for me?"
Hearing this, James was upset.
The third lady's tone was sharp. "If only you knew what would've happened today. When you chose to become the third wheel, didn't you think for a moment that you'd end up like this today?"
The woman was furious. "You can't feed your man and you couldn't control him either. You let him mess around and hurt girls outside, but now you have the guts to blame us?"
Both women made a hot mess of a scene. The verbal abuses were bloody, to say the least.
Jay whispered to Rose, "What's nice to see about this? Wait for me outside?"
"No, let me learn some experience from this."
"You'd never need this sort of experience."
Rose looked at him with puppy eyes. Jay gave up, completely.
