Chapter 296

Frederick stepped forward, standing between Jane and Ares Kai, speaking coldly, "No need!" Jane furrowed her eyebrows into wave-like creases and looked at Auntie Kai. This woman, ever since she found out that the Fuller's family she was living with was at the pinnacle of the pyramid in Bannon city, her eyes kept shifting unpredictably. It was apparent that she was not there with good intentions. Jane didn't believe that this woman was sincerely accompanying Andrew and Ares Kai back to their rural hometown, but instead, she must be planning something sneaky. Chances are, she's planning to hand Ares Kai over to her swindling father. Jane's eyes shifted, determined to not let this cruel woman take away Andrew and Ares Kai. Taking tiny steps, Jane ran towards Auntie Kai, looked up with her chubby little face, and said in a childish voice, "Auntie, it's getting late. How about you, Andrew, and Ares Kai stay at Brother Frederick's house tonight and leave tomorrow! Jane is inviting you to dinner tonight!" After finishing, Jane added on purpose, "My house is next door to Brother Frederick's, it's very close!" Sure enough, Auntie Kai's eyes brightened. Anyone who can be neighbors with the Fuller is probably not any less prestigious. Since there's no suitable match for her in the Fuller’s house, then this little girl's family... Considering this little girl is probably the same age as Ares Kai, then her father... Auntie Kai’s mind was spinning with plans, but not a trace leaked on her face, she looked at Andrew, "Dad, it indeed is getting late, and the road home is through the mountains. As a woman, driving with you and Ares Kai, one old and one young, would not be safe. How about we listen to this little girl, and we go back home tomorrow, alright?" With a gentle touch on Jane’s soft hair, Andrew, looked at the little girl. A faint glimmer of sorrow clouded the depths of Jane's wise eyes. Andrew warmly said, "Jane, thank you!" "No worries." Jane put her tiny hands behind her back adorably, looking up at Andrew with a sweet smile, "Jane and Ares are best friends!" Frederick took a step forward, stood next to Jane, and offered, "Then I will join you for dinner at your place tonight." "Sure, that's great!" Jane agreed, nodding her head like a pecking chick. —— When Jane was leading the grand parade back home — Frederick, Andrew, Auntie Kai, and Ares Kai... They ran into John’s car pulling up at the house. Jane's obsidian-like eyes instantly lit up. She excitedly scampered over and clung to John’s leg, "Big brother, you're home!" John gently picked up the little one. He held her firmly with one arm, "So, you've been playing next door again?" While saying these words, his deep eyes fell on Frederick. Frederick followed the classic idiom: eyes watching the nose, nose watching the heart, and pretended not to see the warning in his gaze. "Big brother, Ares Kai's mom came to see him and Andrew. They are going to return to their hometown. Jane wants to invite them over for a meal at our place as a farewell treat. Can we do that?" Jane asked in her childlike voice. "Alright, not a problem. I'll let William cook some extra dishes." As John suggested this, he shifted his gaze to Andrew and politely greeted, "Andrew." The moment John stepped out of the car, Auntie Kai, who'd been struggling to contain her excitement, quickly pulled her figure-hugging dress a bit lower. She moved forward and initiated an introduction, "Hello, Mr. Wallace. My name is Auntie Kai, I'm Ares Kai's mother. You've offered my father and Ares Kai a great deal of help recently." To her utmost surprise, the notorious underworld kingpin of the business world was her daughter's brother! Moreover, the real John was even more handsome than the candid shots captured by journalists on magazines. Such a handsome man, not to mention his wealth, even if he were stone-broke, she'd be his in a heartbeat! Then she looked at the Wallace family's impressively broad, European style iron gate stretching dozens of meters. The delicate and luxurious hollow-out carvings on the gate, through which the inner view was even more breathtaking. She could already fantasize if she became the owner of this villa... Then what would she need Ares Kai for? When the time comes, not to mention begging her, Jordan would not even be worthy of handing her her shoes! John glanced at Ares Kai but ignored her flattery. Instead, he furrowed his brows and said, "Miss Kai, your dress is not worn properly." Auntie Kai: "..." Embarrassed, Auntie Kai pulled up the part of her dress that she had just let down. In her mind, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. What kind of straight man was this guy? But on her face, she wore a shy smile and said, "Mr. Wallace, I apologize, I... The place here is too vast, my dress doesn't fit well, I didn't notice just now." As she spoke, she even pointed at her chest; the hint was especially obvious. However, John didn't even spare her a glance and walked into the villa, holding Jane. Ares Kai followed by Andrew's side, his little face already flushed. A child from a poor family has to mature early, plus when he didn't go to kindergarten and was still in the village, people always talked about his parents' idle gossip. Therefore, he understands more than ordinary things. Seeing his mother acting as she did, he only felt embarrassed and wished he could hide in the ground. Although Auntie Kai was slightly upset by John's puzzlement, there was no sign of anger on her face. Instead, she began to persuade Andrew: "Dad, I think it's quite good for Ares Kai to attend Kindergarten. He gets along well with his classmates. I've saved some money over the years, why don't we just stay in Bannon instead of going back to our hometown? It would be more convenient for Ares Kai to receive a better education. Won't that be why you agreed to let Ares Kai go to kindergarten in the first place?" Andrew stared at her. He knew what his daughter was up to, and quietly but sternly said: "Drop your little schemes, my life was saved by Jane. I have decided to visit their house for dinner, I want to thank her and her brothers in person!" Having said that, he turned to look at Ares Kai, "Ares, remember, Jane and her brothers, and also Frederick are our great beneficiaries. We owe them for the rest of our lives, even if we have to work like bulls and horses to repay them." Upon hearing this, Auntie Kai rolled her eyes. What kind of gratitude would families like the Fuller and Wallace accept? The only repayment they could offer is... to devote themselves to them!
