Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1969

Jasper was first to understand his mother. "Mom, we won't wait idly for opportunities since Dad is being so ruthless toward us. We'll have to think of a method to get the assets that belong to us." Second Madam said, "The second branch family's assets should rightfully belong to the three of you. So you'll have to work hard now and concentrate fully on dealing with your dad's illegitimate children. The president has stated that they'll have to start from the bottom if they want to join Ares Group, so all of you must not give them a chance to stand out."

"I know what to do from here, Mom," said Jasper.

"You may head downstairs."

In the third branch family's Rose Manor.

Third Old Master, James, had learned his lesson from the past and did not accept all of his mistresses into Tourmaline Estate. However, he still tried to have a pleasant conversation with Third Madam about it. "Don't worry, Madam. I'll not bring the other women into our household. But the children are still my flesh and blood, so I cannot turn a blind eye to them. Hence, I'll prepare to give them posts in TV Station." Third Madam had slight concerns over her son, Jean.

He failed to attend to his duties and had no ambition in life. If those illegitimate children were to enter TV Station, she was afraid it would not be long before they squeezed Jean out of his position. However, Third Madam had a weak character and she indecisively asked, "Then what will happen to our Jean, Old Master?"

James said, "It's not like you're not aware of Jean's character. He'll never turn out to be a competent person. So if we hand TV Station over to him, he'll just squander the whole business sooner or later. It's better to let the other children have a chance at it. We'll just have to leave him a huge pension."

James hardly tried to conceal his discontent for Jeans. This made Third Madam's complexion become unsightly.

"If you don't like Jean, Old Master, then I naturally have nothing to say as well," said Third Madam sorrowfully.

James saw the gloomy look on Third Madam's face and comforted her with sweet words once more, "Rest easy. I'll leave a lot of money for Jean, and even this house in Tourmaline Estate will be given to him." Third Madam said, "You should go and talk to Jean about this."

Afterward, Third Madam left somewhat dejectedly.

James came to Jean's bedroom, and when he saw Jean, he did not try to beat around the bush. He spoke bluntly, "Jean, I'm sure you know that the Ares children who were born out of wedlock are now allowed to enter Ares Group. Since you don't like working anyway, I wonder if it might be better for you to hand TV Station over to your other brothers and sisters to manage. To make it up to you, I'll leave Rose Manor and a huge sum of pension for you..."

Jean looked at James in disbelief. He always knew that his father was not fond of him. In the past few years, he had shown great malice for his father as the man had been rather unfaithful to his mother with few other women, making her highly distressed. Since then, the relationship between the two had drastically changed.

However, Jean never expected that his father's affections for him were so shallow.

"I don't want TV Station, and keep the money for your retirement," Jean said while walking to his closet. Then, he very simply packed his luggage and walked out with the suitcase. James was dumbfounded at this scene. "What are you doing?"

Jean smiled bitterly. "Since you cannot tolerate me, then there's no reason for me to stay here. So from now on, I'll be living outside."

James' face was ashen and turning pale due to anger.

"You don't even have money, so how do you plan to live?"

"I'll beg Big Brother to find me a way to make a living."

Jean merely waved at him and turned to leave abruptly.

James was so enraged by Jeans that he almost fainted on the spot. His own son would rather beg outsiders for help than admit defeat to him. Was he such a failure as a father? It was a cold and cheerless night filled with somber rain.

Many people's hearts were destined to be as sorrowful as the bleak wind and cold rain.

Baby Zetty was lying on her bed as she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Ultimately, she got up and lay near the window, looking at the figures below Chateau de Selene.

Finn was guarding right downstairs. Of course, as Jenson's newly promoted assistant, he had to deal with all matters for Jenson, regardless of their importance.

Tonight was the day Jenson took office, so Finn chose to personally protect Jens in the event an unexpected accident arose.

He had no clue that his hard work would make Baby Zetty so distressed that she could barely breathe.
