Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 654

Jack glared at Josephine. "Josie, what's going on?"

Josephine cried out frantically, "How am I supposed to know? This accident just happened while I was at home, but it has nothing to do with me."

When Jay and Ares arrived at Flying Moon Cottage, Josephine launched herself into Angelina's arms.

"Sis Angeline, they think I'm the one who tried to kill Hiroshi Titus."

Angeline said solemnly, "It's okay to eat like a pig, but not to talk like one. You're responsible for the words you utter."

Jay's gaze was steely. "Is there any evidence?"

Yumi said, "The surveillance footage shows that my brother entered Flying Moon Cottage at 6:50 pm last night. Miss Severe arrived not long after. This morning, we found my wounded brother at Flying Moon Cottage after Miss Severe left. Only Miss Ares and Miss Josephine were present last night. If it weren't them who injured my brother, who could it be?"

Jack suddenly said thoughtfully, "Josie can't even truss up a chicken, so how could she have injured Hiroshi who's so strong and resilient? However, Angeline Severe has had martial arts training. I'm sure it was her."

Although Josephine was Jack's unpopular, adopted daughter, she was still of use to him. Thus, Jack would naturally think of ways to protect her.

He successfully provoked Jay with his words. The only hint of father-son love Jay had for him immediately shriveled into dust.

Jay directed his frosty gaze toward Jack, and their gazes clashed together like waves. Jack had never seen Jay look at him so coldly before. His gaze was as sharp as a frozen blade, cutting through everything and anything in the world.

Jack finally realized that by dragging Angeline into this mess, Jay would have lost all respect for him.

Jay laughed coldly. "Father, you're not a three-year-old child. You should know that the law requires ironclad evidence. By spewing facts not backed up by evidence, you're merely wasting everyone's time." His sharp criticisms embarrassed Jack greatly.

"Where are the leftovers from last night?" Jay's alternative methods of investigating caused Jack to panic slightly.

Sycamore Annex had prepared the dinner for Flying Moon Cottage.

To get Hiroshi and Josephine together, he had ordered several drugs to be added to the dishes.

However, his men had already gotten rid of the food.

The bottle of wine had disappeared too.

At the mention of dinner, Josephine immediately said, "Big Brother, there was something wrong with dinner last night. My entire body went limp after eating."

Jack grasped at the opportunity to attack Angelina further. "If Josephine was unwell, then there's an even lower chance that she could have attacked Hiroshi!"

Jay directed his chilling gaze toward Jack, who had already angered him by constantly attacking and framing Angeline.

"Dad, what sort of disgusting thing did you put in my little sister's dinner?"

Jack was furious. "Jay, you're accusing me."

Jay replied, "Were you not the one who taught me this method of inferring cases with logic?"

Jack would not have thought that it would be so difficult to fight back against Jay the moment he decided to attack.

"Hmmph," Jack said angrily, "Don't say anything without evidence."

"Right back at you," Jay retorted coldly.

Jack,

The police soon arrived. After they took the evidence, they wanted to take Angeline and Josephine to the station for questioning.

Angeline did not want to drag Josephine into this mess, thus she stepped forward and said, "Officer, Josephine slept the whole night away after eating dinner last night. She doesn't know anything. I can go alone."

"Sis Angeline?" Josephine's eyes grew teary.

Angeline said quietly, "Josie, there's no need for the both of us to get involved."

Jay's heart hurt.

He had not expected Angeline to shoulder all the blame.

Angeline walked to him and said quietly in a comforting tone, "My love, don't worry about me."

Heartbroken, Jay asked, "Why?"

Angeline had not defended herself once in the entire process. There was no doubt that she wanted to shield Josephine from danger.

He could not understand. Why would she choose to help Josephine and ignore his suffering?

Angeline saw the red streaks in Jay's eyes and understood that he was in a great deal of pain.
