Angeline smacked her forehead. "Grandpa, I've already received the Yorks family's emblem, so I won't be accepting the Ares family's emblem too." Grand Old Master Ares said, "You're biased, Angeline. Why'd you accept Old Man Yorks' gift but not Grandpa's? What's the meaning of this?" Angeline,"..."

Grand Old Master Ares said, "Besides, Grandpa is so old now. Do you have the heart to let Grandpa continue working so hard?"

Angeline was not able to shake Grandpa off, so she reluctantly accepted it.

Chloe said, "The two of you old folks are being too much. You're bullying my Angeline since she's young and innocent."

Grand Old Master Ares and Grand Old Master Yorks had succeeded in their treacherous trickery and proceeded to chuckle out loud.

Grand Old Master Yorks said, "Goodness me, I guess the sun came out from the west today, hmm? Chloe, you probably never dreamed of the day that you'd feel sorry for Angeline, right? It seems that we've made the right decision after all."

Chloe fell into deep thought.

He was right. She had truly despised Angeline in the past, yet that was how distressed she was over her now.

"Where's JJ?" Chloe asked Angeline curiously.

She slandered them in her heart, 'If JJ were beside Angeline right now, these two old men's tricks would've surely been ruined.'

Grand Old Master Ares said, "He hasn't come down yet. H

Angeline's face started blushing, and she hurriedly walked inside while holding the two trays.

Grand Old Master Ares said, "Alright, we're done here. Let's go."

Jay had just put on his clothes and wore his slippers before running downstairs.

Angeline was sitting on the luxurious gray sofa, and her blue skirt complemented the color of the furniture. She was like a celebrity who was modeling for furniture in a grand mansion.

It was just that she had her hands placed on her cheeks as she stared at the two jade trays on the coffee table with a distressed expression.

Jay sat down next to her and embraced her in his arms. He asked gently, "What's the matter?"

Angeline used her chin to point at the jade trays on the coffee table and said sorrowfully, "I've received two burdensome gifts so early in the morning."

Jay smiled and said, "Aren't you supposed to be happy after receiving gifts?"

Angeline raised her shiny pair of obsidian pupils and looked at Jay pitifully, saying, "Darling, I've fallen into Grandpa Ares and Grandpa Yorks' traps."

Only then did Jay realize the unusualness of these two gifts. He comforted Angeline, saying, "There, there, there's no need to cry. Even if the sky falls, I'm here to hold it up for you."

He stretched out his other hand to uncover the cloth on the jade tray.

Seeing the jade emblem, Jay's face was instantly covered with haze. The animal totem on this jade emblem was a python!

Jay's gaze shifted to the black cloth that had a mountain map printed on it. He suddenly recalled that his master on the summit of Mount Pearl also had this map imprinted on his martial arts training ground. When he thought of his master's mysterious and profound martial arts skills, Jay's heart sank inexplicably.

He placed the jade emblem down and took off the cover on the second jade tray.

It was a token engraved with a scepter.

Angeline muttered, "These two emblems seem to be

rather ancient. Are they truly ancestral treasures?"

Jay did not want Angeline to live a life filled with worries, so he answered perfunctorily, "Those two old men randomly found pieces of good jade and carved a mess of patterns onto them. They lied to you when they told you they're heirlooms."

Angeline said shamefully, "Do I look foolish in their eyes?"

Jay packed up the two treasures and placed them into his pajama pockets. He said, "They're shrewd. They know that I'll outright reject them if they handed these things over to me directly. So they took a different approach and passed them to you since you don't know how to refuse them. However, your husband will not sit idly by regarding your matters."
