Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 393

Sean's smile dwindled, almost like sand in an hourglass. The more he tried to recollect himself, the more obvious his frenzy showed. Once again, he experienced the terror that was Jay Ares.

"Your ultimate goal is to make me hate you so that I'd destroy Bell Enterprise for you. That's why you used Rose Loyle, correct?" With every bit of his front ruthlessly dismantled by Jay, all that was left of Sean Bell was his riddled fragile self.

His handsome features were pale and drained of blood! His body began to shake and tremble.

Although, he quickly lifted his head in confusion and spoke suspiciously, "I don't know what you mean, Master Ares."

He refused to believe that Jay knew of his malicious intent.

There was no way Jay could find out his true intentions toward Bell Enterprise so quickly. Not when he had worn this facade for years and had minimal encounters with Jay. "Let's make a deal!" Jay closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they flared with a strong man's

desire to control.

Sean prodded. "What do you propose?"

"I'll avenge your mother for you. How's that for a bargaining chip?" Despite his light-hearted tone, Jay's words sunk deep into Sean's chest, leaving craters in its wake. Sean trembled like a caged animal. "My mother died through suicide, Master Ares. She jumped off a building. There's no enemy to avenge."

"Suicide or not, I'm sure you know better than I do." i

Sean's hands began to tremble vigorously.

The secret he had hidden away for years howled and threatened to burst from his body like a devil in its shackles.

He had been hiding in a closet when his mother jumped off, and from the gap between the closet doors, he became privy to something he should not have seen.

His father had brought his mistress home, and they were caught in bed by his mother. Mortified, she angrily urged for a divorce.

However, unwilling to let his mother leave with properties under her name, his father employed the help of his mistress and they pushed his mother off the building. Then, they faked evidence and made it seem like it was an accident caused by slipping.

Too young to do anything but protect himself, Sean hid the fact that he was a witness to the crime and enrolled in an academy overseas. He left the land of sorrowful memories as fast as he could.

Despite his sufferings overseas as a youth, he mustered up the determination to strive in his studies. It was all to grow stronger so that one day he could reclaim justice for his mother.

How did Jay see through him when he had done so well to disguise it all these years?

Sean shook as he asked, "How'd you know?"

For the first time, he feared the man before him.

Jay's chiseled features pulled into a bitter smile.

He had flipped through every business Severe Enterprise had partnered with seven years ago when he was investigating the death of Angeline Severe.

Instead of finding what he wanted, he was rewarded with a load of outrageous scandals from all sorts of affluent families.

Jay was silent, and Sean knew he had asked a question that he would receive no answer to.

"Then, Master Ares... What's my bargaining chip?"

Frost shone in Jay's eyes. "Stay away from Rose Doyle!'

Sean was stunned. That was it?

He felt like he had won the lottery with this deal.

A long while later.

Seeing the duo exit, Rose's inquisitive gaze fell on Sean. "Did he do anything to you, Sean?"

Sean shrugged and forced out a smile. "I'm sorry, Orchid. You've been dismissed from Bell Enterprise starting today."

Rose stared blankly. "What about our revolutionary friendship, Sean? The revolution has yet to succeed and we still have work to do! How could you so easily lose to the enemy's woos?" "I'm sorry, Orchid!"

Right as Rose was about to ask what had happened, Sean fled away quickly like a completely different man.

Devastated by the news, Rose felt as if her head had instantly exploded into pieces. Dazed, she staggered backward and flopped back into a chair.
