As soon as Jay stepped into the lobby, he saw his foster mother and Sera huddled together while crying aloud.

Sera's beautiful face was bruised and swollen while her lips were busted and bloody.

Jay frowned. "Who hit you?"

When they heard Jay's voice, they abruptly raised their heads. When they saw Jay, a glint of delight emitted from their eyes.

Shortly after that, Madam Ares started choking with sobs. "Forget it, my child. What can you do even if we tell you? Now that the Ares family has lost its former glory and prestige, we're subjugated and wronged all the time."

A cold glint of jealousy emitted from Sera's eyes, yet even so, she put on an act as though she had suffered terribly. She wailed, saying, "You were right, Mom. As Grand Asia's president, Angeline is simply too powerful and dominant in Imperial Capital. We can't afford to offend her. My injury and grievances are nothing. As long as she's willing to spare the Ares family, my suffering will be worth it."

Jay's falcon-like pupils emitted grim and cold frost.

"Why did she hit you?" Jay asked.

Sera said with tears in her eyes, "Ever since Grand Asia annexed Ares Enterprise three years ago, the Ares family members have been struggling to make ends meet. Since Mom and I have reunited now, I thought Angeline would still respect me as her sister and return the shares belonging to Ares Enterprises if I ask her to. Not only did she not give it to me, but she has also beaten me up."

Sera touched her red and swollen face, tears streaming down her face. "Ever since she became Grand Asia's president, she acknowledges no one in the family."

Madam Ares said with righteous indignation, "You were the one who founded Grand Asia, my child.

Although I have no idea why you gave Grand Asia to her, I believe that this was never your intention and you certainly won't let her make enemies with Ares Enterprise. After your accident, she pushed the Ares family around unscrupulously and annexed the Areses ' family business. We're all bitterly disappointed by her actions."

Jay frowned.

Although the words that his adoptive mother and Sera said were not exactly credible, Jay believed that by founding Grand Asia, he would only expand his business based on his own ability. He would certainly not punish his own family so boldly.

It was probably never his intention to annex Ares Enterprise either.

"Where's Father?" Jay looked around and asked curiously when he did not see anyone else in the Ares family.

"Your dad used to be Ares Enterprise's chairman. He led a fulfilling life and would usually go out early in the day and return very late at night. Ever since Angeline annexed Ares Enterprise, she has turned your dad into a mere figurehead. Now he has nothing to do and loiters out there every day." Madam Ares sighed.

Jay's expression sank. "If Father wants to keep running Ares Enterprise, then I'll ask the she-devil to return the Areses' family business to him."

Madam Ares was delighted inwardly. To be on the safer side, Madam Ares made a suggestion with ulterior motives. "Angeline may be a girl, but she's extremely clever. If you ask her blatantly, I'm sure she won't comply with your request. Why don't you try and sneak her stamp out? As long as we can stamp the contract that we draft out, she won't be able to do anything anymore." Jay nodded. "Okay."

He said mildly, "Wait for my news." Then, he turned around and left.

Madam Ares and Sera exchanged glances. The ecstasy in their eyes was impossible to conceal. Sera said, "As long as he's willing to help us obtain Angeline's private stamp, it will be the end for Angeline." Madam Ares nodded.

Jay took a cab back to the Garden Of A Diary and put on the handcuffs. He lay on the bed in silence as he awaited Angeline's return.

In the evening, Angeline dragged her exhausted body home.

When Jay heard her footsteps gradually approaching, he closed his eyes to sleep.

When Angeline pushed the door in and saw Jay, she was stunned.

Like she had found a lost treasure, a look of delight broke out on her beautiful face. She walked up to him and removed the pillow that was covering his face. "Stop pretending."

Jay opened his eyes and stared bitterly at Angeline.

He realized that he could keep no secrets in front of her because she would always able to guess his thoughts at one glance.
