Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2053

"Oh, is that so?" Jenson chuckled.

His hypnotism would only be ineffective on one type of people, the ones who had no worldly desires and those with unyielding willpower. People like Jacob, who was blinded by greed, would never have the capability of resisting hypnotism.

"Grandpa Jacob, is Faith your daughter?" Jenson went straight to the topic.

Jacob nodded first... before ultimately shaking his head.

Jenson suddenly plucked a few strands of Jacob's hair and said, "It doesn't matter whether or not you admit it. A simple paternity test can tell me the answer."

Jacob huffed angrily as he said, "Jenson, you-"

"You and Madam Nephele started as the domineering president and gentle assistant. But the two of you must've been in cahoots from the beginning. After Madam Nephele gave birth to a daughter for you, she must've sincerely done everything to help you, right?"

A touch of resistance flashed across Jacob's eyes. However, with Jenson's jade pendant dangling in front of him, he soon became dizzy and his eyes

turned dim. Even his consciousness was becoming lax and unclear.

"Since you already know everything, why bother questioning me?" Jacob spat out the words.

Jenson said, "I was merely curious about something. Grandpa Jacob, for Madam Nephele alone, you deserted your first wife and ended up getting spurned by your children. Is it all worth it?"

"What do you know? You don't know anything!" Jacob roared. "I wasn't planning on hurting Charlotte. But she became a hindrance to me...."

"A hindrance to what?" Jenson was aware that Jacob was hiding an unspeakable truth inside his heart.

However, it seemed like the secret he was hiding was s o deep that Jacob was unwilling to spit it out even under hypnotism. It was evident that this secret had a profound and long-lasting effect on him.

The only thing Jenson could do now was systematically guide Jacob into telling him the truth based on his own speculation. "Grandpa Jacob, Faith is the daughter of you and Nephele Davis, yet you made her the Ares family's maid. Don't you think you're too cruel? As the child of the Ares family, even if she's an illegitimate daughter, she should have a brighter life."

"That was Nephele's decision. She couldn't let Faith's identity be revealed, or it'll cause her an even bigger issue."

"She's a healer of the Davis descendant and isn't allowed to marry a man outside. Is this the reason?"

"Yes. I love her, and she loves me as well. If it weren't because of Nephele's reluctance to reveal her identity, I think I would've divorced your Grandma Charlotte and married Nephele instead. Then we would truly become husband and wife out in the open."

Jacob abruptly thought of something, and his pupils suddenly turned scarlet. He gritted his teeth and said, " That way, your Grandma Charlotte wouldn't have had the right to hinder my relationship with Nephele. She's just a jealous and manipulative mad woman. She caused the death of our child and took control of my fortune. The woman should have died a long time n ago.

When Jenson listened to Jacob's intention to inflict suffering upon others, he felt nothing but a terrifying chill. "I understand now. Grandma Charlotte hindered you from living your life in debauchery, stopped you from having children with other women, and disallowed you from using the Ares family's money outside. She took full control of your spending power, and this action of hers made you feel nothing but resentment toward her. Hence, after bottling up all of your contempt and hatred for a long time, you finally decided to get rid of her, right?"

"No. I've built up a tolerance for her after so many years. Although I was by no means happy, I've never thought of killing her. It's because she overheard a secret that shouldn't have been heard..." "What secret?" Jenson asked vigilantly.

Jacob was silent once more.

Jenson took another indirect approach and inquired for ages again. Jacob would answer all of Jenson's questions very cooperatively, but once they circled back to that secret, Jacob became mute once again. Jenson stopped the hypnotism, and Jacob proceeded to fall asleep.

When Jenson returned to Chateau de Selene, he informed Jay of the results from hypnotizing Grandpa Jacob.

"Daddy, what secret do you think Grandpa Jacob is hiding?"
