Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2001

Imperial Capital.

Late at night.

Jenson and Baby Robbie secretly left the rented house and sneaked back to Mammoth Courtyard.

When they were close to Madam Nephele's backyard, Jenson suddenly grabbed Baby Robbie's hand and solemnly said, "Baby Robbie, there's something off about Madam Nephele. You have to be careful." Baby Robbie smiled and placed his hand on Jenson's shoulder. "Jens, how can we catch the tiger cub without entering the tiger's lair? I'll break in to distract her, and you'll sneak into her room to find out more about her."

Jenson stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Baby Robbie's eyes.

Baby Robbie wondered out loud and said, "Why? What's wrong with my idea?"

Jenson replied, "It's a good idea, but our roles should be reversed. I'll deal with Madam Nephele while you inspect her room. If we're in danger, you should run."

Baby Robbie rolled his eyes at Jenson. "Do you think of me as a coward? You're my brother, how can I abandon you?"

Jenson said, "I'm not asking you to abandon me. What I mean is for you to go get help if anything happens. If something happens to us, what will Daddy and Mommy do?"

Baby Robbie's expression turned serious. Jens was the bravest person he knew but he could sense the awe he had for Madam Nephele. It was clear that Madam Nephele was someone difficult to deal with. "Okay, let's go with your plan."

Jens and Baby Robbie parted ways. Jenson walked straight to the front door while Baby Robbie sneaked into the backyard.

After half an hour...

Madam Nephele heard steady knocks on the door of her backyard.

"Who's there?"

Madam Nephele wore black pajamas where even the buttons and the stitching were black. She appeared to blend into the night.

She then heard Jenson's clear and sultry voice. "It's m e, Jenson."

Madam Nephele opened the wooden door for Jens. The courtyard had not been maintained for a long time, so even the wooden door was covered with moss.

Jenson thought that her place reminded him of the great outdoors.

"Young Master Jenson, why are you here?" Madam Nephele asked in surprise.

Jenson stood with his hands behind his back at the doorway. His cold expression and deep eyes gave Madam Nephele chills.

"I assume that you've already heard about Judy Moore's car accident, Madam Nephele?" Jenson phrased it as a question, but he sounded firm.

Madam Nephele smiled lightly as she said, "Everyone has heard about what happened to Judy Moore."

Her reply was so casual as if she was an outsider.

Jenson said, "Then, you must also know that the death of Judy Moore was the work of Faith, a maid serving the Ares family."

Madam Nephele acted surprised and then shook her head while laughing. "How is this possible? Faith is a maid and is not allowed to leave Tourmaline Estate on weekdays. However, Judy's car accident happened outside of Tourmaline Estate. What's the connection between the two?"
