Chapter 297

At dinnertime. Samuel, Lucas, and Jordan had all returned home. When Lucy Kai saw John for the first time, she was already overwhelmed with amazement. Now, seeing the other three, especially Jordan, the love-struck look in her eyes, rimmed with thick eyeliner, was remarkably conspicuous. While her mood was elated, she also made up her mind to stay at the Wallace family's house that night, no matter what. As long as she could stay at the Wallace house, she could knock on any of the brothers' doors and charm them with her attractiveness. That's why during dinner, she took the initiative in opening the wine bottle and, predictably, pretended to be drunk, collapsed on the Wallace family's dining table. Andrew, feeling embarrassed, nudged her gently, "Lucy Kai, Lucy Kai, wake up. How about we go find a hotel for you to sleep?" Pretending to be asleep, Lucy Kai rolled her eyes. Leave the Wallace family’s luxury mansion to stay in a small hotel? She would have to be crazy to do that! Jane said sweetly, "Andrew, it's okay, let Aunt Kai stay with us tonight. We have plenty of spare rooms!" "Well, I feel bad imposing on you like this..." Andrew said, his face full of embarrassment and guilt. Jane waved her little hand dismissively, "It's no bother at all!" If Lucy Kai didn't make a shifty move to stay tonight, taking Andrew and Ares Kai with her, she wouldn’t have had the chance to deal with her! But now, well, Ares Kai was under her, Jane's, protection. Anyone who wanted to push her towards the fire pit would have to see if she agreed to it first! However… Jane cast a glance toward Ares Kai. After thinking about it, she felt she should tell him about the matter in advance. It would be better to respect his opinion. So she slipped down from the dining chair and beckoned to Ares Kai, "Ares Kai, come here. I've got something to whisper to you." The previously gentle and amiable Frederick instantly grew cold upon hearing this. The chill he exuded was enough to freeze the people around him. The Wallace brothers all looked at him, their eyes filled with schadenfreude. With a 'snapping' sound, Frederick broke his chopstick and said to John with a furrowed brow, "Mr. Wallace, the quality of your chopsticks is not up to standard. You should get a new batch." After that, he left the dining table and walked straight towards the outside. Mina was instantly amused and took a large prawn to peel herself with a good mood. "Seeing the fox spirit grumble, it feels so good!" Jane brought Ares Kai to the wall outside the hall. She squatted down in the corner and quietly said to him, "Ares Kai, I think you can't go with your mom with Andrew. Your mom definitely has no good intention. She wants to sell you to that wicked dad of yours!" Ares Kai drooped his head and replied, "I know~~~" Jane widened her eyes at him. "Knowing that, you are still excited to pack up and leave with her. Isn’t it that you are four times more silly?" Jane was so anxious that she started to babble words. It turned out that she was racking her brains to save Ares Kai from the dire straits, while he was so willing to jump into the pit! Ares Kai, with his head drooped, replied, "Actually, I know it. Even though Grandpa doesn’t speak up, he has always wanted her to come back. Several times when Grandpa was so ill that he was delirious, he'd call her name." "I think as long as she goes back to our hometown with us, I can persuade her, let her live a good life with me and grandpa. She only really wants money, and I can earn it for her, I can support her." "Ah!" Jane sighed with an air of weariness, shaking her head, "Naïve young man!" Ares Kai looked at Jane's contrasting cute demeanor, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. He was not naïve. And what he was saying was the truth as well. He could make money to support Lucy Kai, and his money was sufficient to ensure a good life for him and his grandpa. Moreover, the money that went into Lucy Kai's account was also from him. Just that Lucy Kai thought it was from the men she was hanging out with. And every time he took out money for grandpa, grandpa also thought it was Ares Kai's money, so he was reluctant to use it. The day Jordan caused trouble in their bridge-cave home, he himself could have handled it even if Jane hadn't shown up. But Jane's presence was fortuitous, so he took the chance to show some weakness. Relying on Jane seemed not a bad idea. After all, the act of playing the hero had already been done by Frederick, doing the same might not necessarily culminate in doing it better than Frederick, and garner Jane's attention! Ares Kai raised his head, looking pitiful at Jane, asking, "Jane, will you dislike me because of my mom?" Jane patted his shoulder with righteousness, "Relax, your mom is your mom, you are you!" "But..." Jane squinted his eyes in a cute manner and laughed a bit, "I think I want to teach your mom a lesson tonight, you don't mind, right?" "Well... I don't really have any objection to that." After all, he also felt that his mother needed a lesson, but he couldn't help but ask, "Jane, what do you plan to do?" Jane leaned towards his ear, about to speak, when a hand grabbed her up. Jane turned her head to see Frederick's dark face, his obsidian-like glittering eyes were blinking, "Brother Frederick, how did you get out?" Frederick ignored her and dragged her back into the house, "Go back and eat!" Jane: "..." She obediently sat back down at the dining table, neatly scooping food into her mouth with a spoon. Frederick glanced at Lucy Kai who was still lying on the table, "Should she stay at your house, or should I have someone carry her to mine?" Before John and the others could respond, Jane quickly interjected, "Auntie can stay at our house tonight, we have so many empty rooms!" "I'll stay and take care of mom!" Ares Kai suggests, matter-of-factly. Frederick gave him a look, "Take her to my place!" Jane swiftly offered a sweet smile towards Ares Kai, "Ares Kai, why don't you and Andrew go back with Brother Frederick? We have plenty of aunts at our place who can take care of Auntie!" "Alright then, thank you Jane, brothers, and aunts." Ares Kai politely thanks and bows to everyone. After Frederick left with Andrew and Ares Kai, only then did John have someone assist Lucy Kai back to her room. Once inside, Lucy Kai, who was unconscious just now, immediately woke up. She began to apply makeup, taken from her small purse. After finishing, she looked at herself contentedly in the mirror, got up, then looked at her dress. She tugged her dress down a bit to reveal part of the top half, looked at the bottom half which covered half of her thighs, and tore a high slit up to her waist! Only then did she twirl in front of the mirror to appreciate her perfect figure, ultimately giving the mirror what she felt was a perfect smile!
