Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1285

The Corvettes searched all night, but the assassin was nowhere to be found. They had seemingly evaporated into thin air.

The next day, Spencer came to 48 Stronghold.

He summoned Cole into a secret room and asked with a solemn expression, "Cole, the assassin last night was able to get through the various barriers we've set up in Mount Pearl. He's clearly a well-trained martial artist. I've been thinking about it. The assassin appeared immediately after Angeline did. Could they be working together from the inside out?"

Cole remained silent....

Spencer looked puzzled. "Angeline is nothing but a strong businesswoman in Imperial Capital, but her bodyguard was capable of catching my darts. I don't understand. Why does she have such an extraordinary man by her side?"

Cole was still silent...

When Spencer saw how Cole did not utter a word, the doubt in his eyes started overflowing. "Are you keeping something from me, Cole?"

There was a hint of weariness in Cole's voice. "I've said what needs to be said."

Spencer stared at Cole with displeasure. "What do you mean by you've said what needs to be said? You spent half a year in Imperial Capital, and when you came home, you only said three things. You told me you destroyed the Ares family as well as Tourmaline Estate and your unforgettable bone-etching love story. Tell me, how did you meet Angeline?"

Cole was extremely speechless by his father's gossipy behavior. "Why didn't you ask me how I destroyed the Ares family?"

Spencer gulped. "I trust your ability to complete your task."

An obscure look flashed across Cole's eyes. It was precisely because his father and grandfather did not question much about it that he felt guiltier. He had destroyed the Ares family and Tourmaline Estate, but he had also destroyed Jay.

Perhaps he would not feel as guilty if Jay was just Angelina's husband. However, Angeline told him at the very end that Jay was Aunt Chloe's son. He had killed his own cousin.

Dad and Grandpa would be heartbroken if they learned about this.

Aunt Chloe was the Yorks family's brightest and most treasured pearl-the child who Grandpa valued the most. Grandpa had said to him more than once, "Your aunt was a brilliant woman and was no worse than a man. Her children will definitely be as outstanding as her. The only regret in my life is that I didn't get to see my grandson rise above the common herd and achieve great heights in life. Ron could do it, but time isn't on his side..."

Cole was afraid to tell Grandpa that he actually had an outstanding grandson like that, one who was not only insanely good-looking and extraordinarily intelligent but extremely courageous and who focused on love and justice.

If Grandpa knew about Jay's existence, he would be delighted for sure. However, once he was done feeling delighted, he would then fall from the heavenly bliss to the depths of the abyss.

If Grandpa knew that his grandson had died in the hands of Doomsday, he would probably find it hard to forgive himself.

Therefore, Cole kept this secret in the depths of his heart and suffered the repercussion of their evil deeds himself.

Fortunately, Grandpa and Dad had not asked anything about the Ares family's affairs for the past few years.

Spencer narrowed his eyes and stared straight at Cole. Cole looked like he was struggling and somewhat in pain, which caused Spencer to frown.

"Don't tell me that Angelina has relations with the Ares family?" Spencer finally realized that something was wrong from the look on his son's face. Cole lifted his severed pinkie and said, "The Ares family's daughter-in-law was supposed to be killed, but I spared her in exchange for my pinkie." Spencer's complexion darkened. His dark pupils overflowed with a touch of coldness.

"Why are you so muddle-headed, Cole? Do you know that if you don't tackle the root of a problem and solve the problem completely, the problem will resurface?"
