Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2028

Jenson eyed him skeptically. "Do you really not know about Madam Nephele's identity?"

Jacob replied, "I don't."

Jenson let out a slight smile. "You do look like you're unaware of this, Grandpa Jacob. However..."

Jenson's gaze shifted to the renovated compartments in the basement and asked, "Do you not know about these renovated compartments either, Grandpa Jacob?"

Jacob was startled for a moment before shaking his head hard.

"I don't."

Jenson said, "No one is allowed to renovate Tourmaline Estate in private. If you wanted to renovate this place, you'd need to get permission from the head of the household. Do you know what sort of punishment you'll receive if someone from Mammoth Courtyard breaks the rules?"

"I do. It's just a punishment, isn't it? If anyone renovates the basement, they'll have to pay a 500,000 dollar fine..."

Jenson sneered and teased, "Are you very familiar with the rules, Grandpa Jacob? I wonder if you can

recite the other rules?"

There was a flash of panic in Jacob's eyes.

Jenson flashed a smile. "There's many a slip between the cup and the lip, Grandpa Jacob."

Jacob was dumbfounded.

Had Jenson realized he was lying?

"To be honest with you, Jens, I was aware that Nephele renovated the basement and I gave her permission to do it, but I didn't know why she wanted to renovate the basement. I overindulged her and catered to her every whim..."

Jenson cut him off directly and said, "Can you take me to Grandma Charlotte, Grandpa Jacob?"

Jacob looked as though he was placed in a difficult situation. "Grandma Charlotte isn't feeling so well."

Jenson asked, "Oh? She was fine a few days ago, wasn't she?"

Jacob said, "You know how bullheaded she is. Ever since I brought my mistresses back to Tourmaline Estate, she's been mad at me and ignored me for days."

Jenson said, "All the more reason for me to visit Grandma Charlotte."

Jacob had no choice but to lead Jenson to the front of Mammoth Courtyard, Madam Charlotte's residence.

There was a female servant standing at the door. Jacob said to the female servant, "Inform Madam

Charlotte that Jens is here to see her."

The female servant said reverently, "Yes, sir."

Jenson narrowed his eyes. The female servant was excessively reverent to Jacob, which raised his suspicion.

The wives of the family would have several cronies. Now that Jacob and Madam Charlotte were having a major disagreement, logically speaking, her servant should be treating Jacob with bitter resentment. Soon, the servant walked out and said submissively," Madam Charlotte said that she's tired and isn't fit to see anyone. She promised to visit Young Master Jens herself when she feels better."

Jenson nodded. "Okay." He then turned around and left.

Jacob's features eased up slightly.

Jenson left Mammoth Courtyard and came to an outbuilding in Mammoth Courtyard named Starry Residence.

This was the residence of Julia Ares, the third missus of the second Ares family.

"Why are you here, Jens?" Julia was extremely surprised to see Jenson.

Jens walked over and stood in front of Julia. Upon scrutinizing her face, he realized that she looked sad.

"Is something bothering you, Aunt Julia?" Julia glanced resentfully at Jenson and complained," Jens, because you insisted on taking in the Ares mistresses, there's now chaos here in the second family."
