Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1967

Inside the lobby of the second branch's annex.

Jacob was sitting on the sofa majestically. He was now over 66-years-old and his hair had started to turn white. In contrast to the black hair on his head, the white hair was making him appear a little old. Fortunately, he was still in good health, and the pair of gold-rimmed reading glasses he wore made him seem a little more refined.

Several women were standing in the hall at the moment. His first partner, the second madam, looked cold as she stared at Jacob resentfully.

"What are your plans, Old Master? Are you trying to let all of them in?"

Jacob looked at his first partner. Although he did not have much love for her, his first partner was brilliant, elegant, and a decent person. She had been with him for decades and had kept their house well organized throughout the years.

Jacob's face revealed his guilty conscience when he was faced with Second Madam's criticism. However, he still honestly confessed his inner thoughts, saying," You can see how old I'm getting now, Madam. They've been with me for so many years and they're all my

women. The children they've given birth to are all my flesh and blood, and they're connected to my heart. So if I continue to show no interest in them, I'll always have a guilty conscience."

Second Madam's attitude was extremely tough and she snarled. "What if I don't agree to this?"

A layer of frost immediately covered Jacob's elegant face. He said somewhat dimly, "The matter has been decided, Madam. This is something you cannot change. Moreover, this was the decision made by Ares Enterprises' person in charge, so you don't have the power to interfere."

Second Madam started chuckling out of anger. "Heh, Jens is just a child. Perhaps he made such a decision because he doesn't want to show interest in our family's sordid and messy affairs."

At this moment, Jacob and the mistresses hugged each other and went up against the first wife. "We've been with Old Master for so many years now, Sis. Our contribution to this family is no lesser than yours. We've let you take all of the advantages so far, and now that we're finally allowed to see the light of day, stop making things difficult for us already. Why is a woman trying to make things hard for other women?'

Smack!

Second Madam raised her hand and slapped the arrogant mistress.

"This is no place for a b*tch like you to speak."

The mistress' name was Elsa Coast. She was over 50 years old this year, but she was still attractive for an aged woman.

After receiving the slap, she immediately tearfully grumbled to Jacob, saying, "Sis Charlotte is too temperamental, Old Master. If she can't tolerate us, then I think we should take the children to live outside." Several other mistresses nodded their heads and said aggrievedly, "Sis Elsa is right. We won't belong in Tourmaline Estate anyway."

Afterward, all of them pretended to leave the place.

Jacob's greatest wish in life was to have his home crowded with his women and children. He wanted to enjoy the life of having several partners and for all his children to enjoy their blessed lives under the same roof. When he saw how Second Madam's stubbornness had almost ruined his years of efforts, he was immediately enraged by her.

He stood up and pointed angrily at Second Madam, scowling and yelling, "Charlotte Chambers, don't overstep your boundaries. If you still want to stay in this house, then I advise you to behave yourself. Don't be rude to the other women in the future, or else don't blame me for what I'll do to you."

Second Madam had a fierce temperament. She immediately puffed her chest and walked forward to roar back at him, "Jacob Ares, don't forget that I own half of the second branch family's assets. If you have the audacity to keep them in Tourmaline Estate, then let's get a divorce. We'll get a divorce tomorrow!"

"Why you..." Jacob was fuming with rage.

Then, Jacob recalled something that Grand Old Master Ares had done so that his offspring would have favorable public images. He had meticulously increased the first wives' authority, so each of the branch family's assets were jointly owned between the husband and wife.

If he and Second Madam were to divorce, then that would imply half of the second branch family's assets would be taken away by Second Madam.

Second Madam looked at Jacob arrogantly and threatened him, "What is it? You can't afford to divorce me, Old Master?"
