Chapter 3


    As Rose began hailing a cab by the roadside, Jay walked over with the enchanting young woman


    by his side.


    "Step aside."-


    He spoke with his deep and mellow cello-like voice which could cause a woman''s ovaries to


    explode.


    Even so, it also contained a trace of superiority that the wealthy possessed.


    Rose suddenly realized that she and her kids were indeed blocking their way-they were standing


    right i n front of a Rolls-Royce with a Spirit of Ecstasy ornament on its bo.


    Rose dragged her suitcase with one hand and her children with the other. Upon seeing Jay, she felt


    rather panicky, and was slow to move aside-


    The voluptuous woman said in a sardonic voice, "You must be in some deep sh*t to have to wrap


    yourself up like that. Fine, wear your sunsses if you want, but why force your children to wear


    them while walking? Isn’t that a health hazard, you''re not worried they might trip or something?"


    Rose felt sick to her stomach. ''I wouldn''t be dressing like this if I didn''t have to avoid gues like


    you.’


    The woman''s words upset Zetty-Mommy was always right in her books.


    Anyone who bad-mouthed Mommy would draw Zetty''s ire as she would quickly change from a baby


    angel into a little devil.


    At that moment, Zetty mmed herself into the woman.


    The collision knocked her sunsses off onto the ground.


    The woman hastily stepped back, and Zetty''s tiny body then bumped into Jay.


    Zetty began assaulting Jay with her tiny fists, screeching in her adorable but malicious voice,"


    Mommy is just worried about us getting kidnapped by human traffickers like you. That''s why she


    made us wear sunsses to protect ourselves. I won''t let baddies like you talk bad about Mommy,


    she is the best mommy in the world."


    Jay turned his cold gaze onto Rose. "Did you tell her I''m a human trafficker?"


    Faced with Jay’s usatory question, Rose''s brain was instantly depleted of oxygen.


    Of course, the answer was yes. By all means, she thought that he was more terrifying than any


    human trafficker.


    If Jay found out that Zetty was his daughter, he would likely make a big scene right there and then,


    demanding for the child''s custody.


    Rose did not dare to speak up as she feared that Jay would recognize her voice.


    Her silence did nothing but confirm his assumption.


    Jay''s expression turned dark. Did this woman justbel him as a human trafficker?


    "Is this how you teach your kids?" he spat.


    Rose''s head sank into her neck like a quail but she could not muster the power to confront Jay as


    her mind waspletely disoriented.


    Zetty resembled her mother, so Jay might not make the connection.


    However, Robbie was practically a mini version of Jay. Robbie must not show his face to Jay at all


    costs.


    Rose wrapped her arms around Robbie and clutched him tightly; she was worried that he would


    lose control like Zetty.


    Jay shoved Zetty away and patted down the spot where Zetty had touched, looking disgusted. He


    then opened the rear seat door for the dame, and the two of them boarded the car and drove off


    without another word.


    Robbie, still wrapped in Rose''s arms, looked at the Rolls-Royce''s license te number and made a


    mental note of it.


    That man looked exactly like him.


    ''''Mommyyy, why didn''t you say anything just now?"


    Zetty was so aggrieved that tears were filling up her eyes.


    Every time she was bullied in the past, Mommy would run up to teach those bullies a lesson.


    "Mommy, you''re like a wimp today." Her baby Robbie took off his sunsses and rolled his eyes at


    his mother who still had not said anything.


    Rose was speechless. Did her two children just renounce her?


    Jay was her nemesis in every sense of the word. As soon as he appeared, her kids stopped looking


    up to her.


    It seemed that the pestilence was inevitable.


    Disturbed, Rose hailed a cab and the trio headed off to Splendid Town district in City North’s Third


    Ring Road, which was where her mother was currently staying.


    Inside the luxurious Rolls-Royce.


    Josephine Ares crossed her arms as she peered through the window to observe the curious


    sunsses -wearing family until they boarded their cab and left.


    She did not read much into the earlier confrontation.


    However, when she saw the little girl, a familiar face shed in her mind.


    "Jay, don’t you think that little girl looks familiar? Her


    eyes looked just like... just like my sister-inw''s!"


    Her older brother Jay held the steering wheel as he replied airily, "Sister-inw? What sister-in-


    law?"


    "Jay, you were married once, remember?" Josephine reminded him.


    The image of Rose shed through Jay''s head, and he mentallypared the little girl''s face with


    Rose''s.


    Screech! The Rolls-Royce came to an abrupt stop.


    Rose? That woman, the person who made him grind his teeth at the mere thought of her?


    "Ouch!" Josephine jerked forward from the momentum and her forehead bumped the back of the


    car seat.


    "Jay, how could you hurt your darling sister like that? What if I got hurt? Are you going to take care


    of me for the rest of your life?"


    The Rolls-Royce stopped by the roadside. Jay rushed out of the car and nced at the direction of


    the airport.


    Josephine rolled down the window and said weakly," Don''t bother. I saw them getting into a cab just


    now. We’re heading south and they''re heading north. You won''t be able to catch up to her even if


    you turned around."


    Jay slowly returned to the driver''s seat and closed the door.


    Josephine chattered excitedly, "Jay, was the woman just now really Rose?"


    Jay shifted the rearview mirror so that he was looking directly at Josephine. From the mirror,


    Josephine could clearly see the frigid look on her brother''s face.


    Josephine could not help butugh. "Yup, only Rose can drive you this crazy. Oh yeah, she even


    called you a human trafficker."


    Jay pondered about it and realized that it was indeed something that a person like Rose would do.


    After all, the rational thinking of men and the emotional thinking of women were essentially two


    distinct things. Jay frowned and wondered how likely it was for Rose to appear on this side of town.


    "It can''t be her, she''s been dead for five years." Although that was what he was told, he could find


    no exnation for the hint of anxiety that he felt.


    "Jay, don''t you feel that the way Rose died was very fishy?" said Josephine. "None of us saw a


    photo of her actually dead. A memorial portrait is not enough to prove that she died. Think about it.


    Photoshopping technology is improving every day."


    "I''ve already sent people to search for her. If she''s not dead, why couldn''t anyone find her?" Jay


    stepped on the elerator, revved the engine, and sped away.


    Josephine raised her eyebrows and thought about it for a long time. "The Ares Family''s tracking


    system is pretty impressive and all, but maybe she found a way t o slip through the."

    Jay said coldly, "You''re overestimating that b*stard of a countryside bum."


    Josephine shrugged. "Even though Rose came from the countryside, you gotta admit the way she


    managed to y you was pretty impressive."


    Jay was gripping the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles were turning pale.
