Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2029

Jens sat elegantly on a chair next to Julia and picked up the cup of coffee that the servant served. He took in the aroma of the light coffee and felt refreshed. He then took a sip, tasting the premium coffee as it left a lingering fragrance in his mouth.

"This is good coffee, Aunt Julia. Chateau de Selene's coffee could never compare to yours," Jenson said meaningfully.

Julia flushed a little and stuttered, "Your parents lead a frugal life. You know that my father loves these things."

Jenson smiled lightly. "Don't be nervous. Everyone knows that the second family is wealthy."

Julia could sense Jenson's ulterior motives for coming to Starry Residence and looked vigilantly at him. "What are you doing here in Starry Residence, Jens?" Jenson said, "I'm here to tell you that your mother is sick. Do you know about that?"

Julia replied, "I do. Thanks to those mistresses."

Having said that, Julia glared resentfully at Jenson again. "I don't understand. Why didn't you learn from your father and keep those mistresses away from Tourmaline Estate so that we could have some peace and harmony here?"

Jenson sneered. After all, she was just a woman with long hair but short wit. He said, "Have you visited your mother?"

Julia nodded. "I have."

A hint of suspicion flashed in Jenson's eyes. "How's her mental state?"

Julia's eyes dulled. "I only spoke a few words to her and left."

"Oh?" Jenson grew alert. "So you're saying that you didn't see her in person?"

Julia shook her head.

Jenson's deep and profound eyes revealed a glow of wisdom. "Aunt Julia, I suspect that your mother is being controlled."

The cup of coffee in Julia's hands fell to the ground." That's impossible," she cried out emotionally.

Jenson knew that Aunt Julia had led a comfortable life since childhood, and under the protection of her strong and shrewd mother, she had never experienced any storms in her life. In the face of emergencies, she lacked the ability to think calmly and the ability to think before acting.

Jenson said, "Think about it. Your mother is sick, and it just so happens that the assets under her name have been transferred out these few days. How could there be such a coincidence?"

Julia widened her eyes in horror and asked incredulously, "Who's doing all these things behind our backs?"

Jenson shrugged. "I don't know either."

Julia was shaking vigorously now. "You're the head of the Ares family. You must think of a way to save my mother."

Jenson consoled her, saying, "You need to cooperate with me, then. Otherwise, I can't even step foot into Mammoth Courtyard."

Julia nodded eagerly. "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Jenson moved his mouth closer to Julia and said a few words to her before leaving Starry Residence.

Jenson returned to Chateau de Selene, went to Jay, and told him about the situation in Mammoth Courtyard as well as his speculations.

"Daddy, Mammoth Courtyard's basement has been turned into Madam Nephele's lab and research base. Also, Grandpa Jacob stopped me from seeing Grandma Charlotte using every possible means. I suspect that Grandma Charlotte is being controlled by them."

Jay pondered for a moment and said knowingly, "You suspect that Madam Nephele has taken control of her?"

Jenson was slightly stunned. He thought he had gone overboard in his speculations at first and decided not to say it out as there was no evidence.

He was surprised that Daddy could guess what he was thinking about.

Jenson said, "This is just my speculation. Since Madam Nephele is here for Boye, she won't have left Tourmaline Estate so easily before her task is complete. She has all sorts of tricks up her sleeve, and if I'm not mistaken, she's great at disguising herself too."
