Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1287

The b*stard Cole had sent his men to monitor the place under the pretext of guarding Refreshing Breeze Courtyard.

Jay started thinking of ways to escape Refreshing Breeze Courtyard so that he could go out to look for the Yorks' stronghold's register.

Angeline called out to him softly, "Ben." Her voice sounded gentle and affectionate.

Jay turned around and walked in.

"Angeline."

Angeline traced the source of the voice and walked up to him.

Jay quickened his pace and took her hand, whispering, "From what I can see right now, Old Master Yorks suspects that we're colluding with the assassin from last night. He has sent his men to surround Refreshing Breeze Courtyard this morning."

Angeline analyzed the situation and said, "Old Master Yorks is in charge of the front area of the Yorks' stronghold and has no time to guard 48 Stronghold, so Cole is still the person-in-charge here. Why don't we lure him away? I'll figure out a way to keep Cole occupied while you go out under the pretext of

gathering herbs for me..."

Jay squeezed Angeline's red cheek gently. "You're getting smarter and smarter, aren't you?"

Though in his heart, she was still a little lamb that knew nothing about the world.

Angeline let out a mischievous smile. "You taught me well."

Jay took Angeline in his arms, his love for her intensifying.

At breakfast, Jay laid out his plans to several other people and finalized the details. Grayson, Josephine, and Sis Shirley would stay and take care of Angeline. Zayne and he would go and gather the herbs. When Jay and Zayne opened Refreshing Breeze Courtyard's gate, Carson popped out of nowhere and asked in an exceedingly arrogant tone, "Where are you going?"

Jay explained, "I need to gather some herbs for my missus' eyes. We're going to the mountain to dig out some cassia seeds for her..."

Carson cut him off straight away. "Write down the herbs you need. Our men will gather it for you."

Jay replied, "No way. Anyone can tell that the men in the Yorks' stronghold are all black-hearted people with just one look. I won't feel at ease leaving the missus' affairs to you and your men." Carson bared his fangs...

He then smirked maliciously. "Oh? Do you practice physiognomy?"

Jay nodded. His eagle eyes then fell on Carson's face." Should I take a look for you? I won't charge you a dime if I'm wrong."

Carson was a man who was crazy about money and had always been eager for free things.

"Sure."

Jay pretended to lift his chin and studied Carson's facial features carefully, then said, "Short-sighted like a rat, ape-like chin, and the face of a yes-man. Anyone can tell that you're destined to be a slave. You have to rely on this crafty mouth of yours to flatter your master your whole life."

Carson was furious. "You tricked me?"

Jay pushed him away and walked uphill as if nobody else was there.

Carson roared at his back. "Stop there! Don't blame me for what I'm about to do next if you don't stop."

At this moment, Josephine and Sis Shirley led Angeline outside. Angeline called out, "Carson."

When Carson saw Angeline, he immediately went from looking haughty to humble, bowing and scraping to her. "What can I do for you, Ms. Severe?"

Angeline asked, "Where is your young master?"

Carson was stunned. He replied, "Young Master has

gone to the Yorks' stronghold."

Angeline rejoiced inwardly. Both Cole and Spencer were not in 48 Stronghold. Only Carson, the shrewd lackey, was here. She could buy Jaybie some time if she could stall him.

Angeline said, "Grayson, keep watch at Young Master Yorks' place and ask him to come over immediately when he returns. Tell him that I have something to tell him." Grayson replied, "Yes, Ms. Severe."
