Chapter 333

His hooded eyes pierced frostily into Sean. Although Jay had yet to speak, Sean could already feel his soul shiver at the threat of impending death. Before he knew what came over him, Sean blurted. “You can have it, Master Ares. Be The Moonlit Sky’s screenplay or my gorgeous secretary… Take what you want.” Jay stared at Rose while deep in thought. Her entire expression screamed how against it she was. He would much have her somewhere he was familiar with than her constantly being on the run. At least then, he could still protect her from afar. “It’s alright.” He may have voiced his rejection, but that did not stop his mind from silently plotting how best to coax her back to his side. However, right then, Jean barged in. Assessing the awkward atmosphere in the room, Jean walked over to whisper by Jay’s side, “Jay, did you get the contract back yet?” Jay remained silent. Jean wailed, “Oh, come on, Jay! My admiration for you, my dearest brother, flows like an unending river surging to the sea. You can’t let me down now!” Jay’s unpredictable gaze fell on Rose. “Did Baby Zetty cry?” Jean was stunned. Jay was jumping a little too fast from topic to topic for him to catch up. “Well she didn’t cry, per se, but I wouldn’t say she’s in a great mood either.” At that, concern sparked in Rose’s eyes. In Jay Ares’, however, mirth grew. “Maybe she misses her mommy.” “Who knows.” Jean shook his head vigorously as if trying to rid his mind of the memory of the three little devils bullying him “I don’t like her.” The worry in Rose’s eyes grew... Surprisingly, Jay nodded in agreement instead of berating his brother. “Indeed, she’s not as easy to get along with as my Baby Robbie, and at the same time, she’s more of a troublemaker than Jens. Perhaps you should refrain from provoking her in the future.” Jean was shocked… Was Baby Zetty Jay’s biological child or not? Was his doting on Baby Zetty back at the Tourmaline Estate all a facade? “Relax, Jay. I’ll make sure to stay as far from her as possible in the future.” Jay let out a superficial smile. At the same time, he was coming up with a plethora of ways to punish Jean. ‘Nobody gets to dislike my darling daughter.’ Rose’s expression began to grow frantic. Afraid that she would break character, Sean faked a coughing fit. With her spiraling thoughts interrupted, Rose was able to quickly recollect them and straighten herself. Taking proud steps toward Jean, she beamed a smile of a person who had won a fight. “Is Master Jean here to confront us?” Jean choked at the sight of Rose’s attitude. “Don’t pretend you’re innocent when you’ve used dirty tricks to get what you want.” Then, he turned to act coquettishly with Jay. “Look at this, Jay. This woman’s being too arrogant. You have to stand up for me. Do something.” Jay did not know whether to laugh or cry. He might never have it in him to punish her, even if she caused Armageddon. “Jean, we’re leaving.” Jay turned around. Jean’s eyes widened in shock. “Just like that?” Rose waved joyously. “Bye-bye.” Despondence was written on Jean’s face. Jean fumed in frustration as they left the Central Building. “How could you allow the secretary to be so arrogant in front of us, Jay? Where did your imposing aura go? You could’ve finished her!” Jay glared at his brother. “Get in the car.” Pulling open the car door, Jean plopped himself in the back seat. Jay reprimanded, “Sit in the front.” Taking a good look at the luxurious interior of the car, Jay realized that there was no driver.
