Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2027

"Grandpa Jacob, weren't you the one who hired Madam Nephele as your tool to deal with me?" Jenson asked gloomily.

Jacob looked extremely wronged. "How could you question me, Jens? I swear I had no idea about Nephele's real identity. If I had known about her secret, I wouldn't have been bold enough to bring her back to Tourmaline Estate from the start!"

Jenson asked, "Can you tell me how you met each other?"

Jacob answered, "19 years ago, she came to my office to apply for the secretary position. She was not only beautiful but was also an efficient and quick-witted worker, so I chose her as my private assistant. After spending a long time together, we grew fond of each other and that was when I made her my woman. It was only until you became the head of the Ares family and announced that all Ares family's mistresses could move into Tourmaline Estate that she came here and started living in Mammoth Courtyard."

Jacob led Jenson to Mammoth Courtyard.

Madam Nephele was nowhere to be seen, but her courtyard was crowded with people.

The women who stayed in front of the courtyard had come to the back to watch what was happening. When Jenson entered the courtyard, he heard some women lamenting. "Who knows if Sis Nephele is actually missing or if she's in danger? When mistresses like us enter Tourmaline Estate, it feels like we're treading on thin ice."

When Jacob sauntered over, the women started wiping their tears sorrowfully. They gathered around Jacob and spoke in coquettish voices, "Old Master Jacob, you must find Sis Nephele." The mistresses seemed to share a really close bond.

Jacob comforted them and said, "Don't worry, Nephele will be fine. The Areses will definitely find her."

Jenson did not see Mammoth Courtyard's hostess and Jacob's wife, Madam Charlotte, anywhere. He asked, "Where's Grandma Charlotte?"

Jacob and the other women's complexions dulled abruptly,

Jacob said in a cold voice, "Hmph, Grandma Charlotte is a narrow-minded person who can't tolerate the other women of mine. She certainly won't stoop to staying in the same space as them." Jenson asked once more, "Where's Grandma Charlotte now?"

Jacob replied, "Who knows?"

Seeing Jacob's unconcerned attitude toward his wife,

Jenson felt great disdain surging from the bottom of his heart.

Jenson walked toward Madam Nephele's room.

Jacob followed.

Madam Nephele was nowhere to be seen, and the odd and strange things she owned seemed to have vanished into thin air as well. Jenson was extremely puzzled. "Was it really necessary for Madam Nephele to move her massive den of snake pets away?"

Jenson searched the entire upstairs but did not notice anything strange.

In the end, Jenson turned around and asked Jacob, "Is there a basement here?"

Jacob said sarcastically, "Not in the past, but your mother rebuilt Tourmaline Estate, so I have no idea if there's one right now."

Jenson then texted his mother: [Mommy, can I have Mammoth Courtyard's blueprint plan?]

Angeline replied: [Hold on.]

In the study, Angeline pulled up Tourmaline Estate's reconstruction file from the computer. After locating Mammoth Courtyard's blueprint plan, she took a screenshot and sent it to Jenson. After studying the blueprint plan, Jenson realized that the reconstructed Tourmaline Estate had a basement.

The entrance was extremely hidden and connected all the way downstairs to the basement.

Sure enough, since Madam Nephele had left in a hurry, the basement was in a mess. Many traces were left behind here.

There were snake eggs that were packed densely in a haystack, as well as some baby snakes that had just hatched. However, as no one was there to take care of them, many of the baby snakes had died as soon as they hatched.

Jacob was so terrified that he screamed, "Argh, what are these?!"

Jenson replied, "Madam Nephele is a medical practitioner. She can create snake eggs through artificial means and control the snakes to cause harm."

Jacob gulped. "Who... Who... exactly is she?"

Jenson said, "Nephele Davis, a descendant of the Davis clan."

Jacob said in trepidation, "Oh, okay."
