Chapter 13
As he spoke, the door was pushed open and an attractive secretary poked her head through.
The secretary respectfully said, "Mr. Ares, there is a prettydy here for you." She sounded rather
excited and gossipy.
Grayson told her off, "Don''t you know that Mr. Ares''s office prohibits females from entering
arbitrarily? Send her away."
Jay actually wondered momentarily if it was the ursed woman, Rose. However, when he heard
the secretary describing the woman as pretty, he dismissed the thought.
''That mundane and shapeless Rose with her dated style could never be described with that word.''
The secretary closed the door and returned to the reception desk. She said demurely, "I''m sorry,
Miss. M r. Ares isn''t epting guests now."
Rose lifted her chestnut curls and took a deep breath t o suppress her anger. Then she huffed,
"Your president invited me himself. What''s the meaning of him turning me away now? I''ve already
done my part and surrendered. Why is he treating me like I’m less than a human being?" 2
The secretary was stunned. In all her years of working in Grand Asia, that was the first time she had
ever
heard someone insult Mr. Ares so courageously.
Jay and Grayson walked out of the office and headed t o the elevator. On the way, they heard
Rose''s raised voice and turned around to see what was happening a t the secretary''s desk.
When the secretary noticed the annoyed and bloodthirsty look in Mr. Ares''s eyes, she quickly
pretended to organize her desk.
Jay stood directly behind Rose as she remorselessly continued to list out his wrongdoings. "The
customer i s always right. If it wasn’t for our money paying him, how would he run his business?" 2
"Oh, Rose..." Jay growled her name from behind through gritted teeth.
Rose almost fell to the ground from the sudden voice. She whirled around to see Jay with his hands
in his pockets, ring daggers at her. The only thing Rose could do was smile sheepishly at him.
''F*ck.'' She had been full of resentment and needed to vent. The thought of Jay not allowing any
women near him made her so exasperated that she could not help but ridicule everything about Jay
to the sweet secretary of his. Much to her surprise and dismay, Mr. Ares caught her in the act. 2
She wondered if the misfortunes were piling up on her because she did not pray to the gods before
leaving the house.
"Sir Ares!" Rose changed her demeanor instantly.
However, her nervousness caused her to touch her bag uncontrobly.
"Come in with me." Jay turned and walked into the office.
Rose remembered the atrocities that urred in the office yesterday and hesitated. "Sir Ares, how
about w e have our chat outside here? I''m really busy today, can you just tell me-"
Jay stopped in his tracks and turned to re at her.
"How busy are you?"
Rose quickly took back what she said. "No, no, no. I mean, you’re the Sir Ares. You probably have a
million things to do today. I don''t want to take up too much time of yours. Why don’t you just say
what you wanted to tell me here?"
Jay stared at his watch intently. He finally gritted his teeth and asked, "Rose, do you want to see
Jenson?"
In a trice, Rose flew like the wind and rushed up to Jay.
Jay spared her a contemptuous look and walked into the office.
Rose did not hesitate this time and obediently followed Jay into the room.
Jay sat down on his ck swivel chair and stared at the pretentious woman in front of him.
He was honestly a little surprised to find that she looked like an actual human being when she was
dressed up!
He proceeded to toss a contract in front of Rose. With a n overbearing tone, he said, "Sign it.”
Rose took the contract warily and quickly scanned the relevant details in the contract. As she
reached the end, she could not help but protest, "This is a typical use of a capitalist tyrant. I won''t
ept it." She threw the contract back to Jay. 2
It was a medical exemption contract that asked for Grand Asia to be given permission to use her
mother a s a guinea pig for new technology. If her mother died from it, Grand Asia would only have
to pay a meagerpensation. On top of that, family members could not appeal against them on
any grounds.
If she were to sign the contract, she would basically be selling her mother off to Grand Asia
Hospital.
Rose was not stupid. She sneered at Jay, "I see you just love threatening me with my mother. Sir
Ares, I know you want revenge. So give it to me straight!
Don’t take it out on a dying olddy. Aren’t you afraid 0 f retribution?" 3
Jay looked at Rose and raised an eyebrow. "You yourself just said that I''m a capitalist. Does it make
sense for a capitalist to willingly suffer a loss when dealing with business?"
Rose straightened her neck and said, "As long as I don''t sign the contract, it won’t take effect. I
would
never do business with you!"
Rose had a stubborn look on her face.
Jay''s next words sounded like a death sentence. "Do you think I can’t afford to pay for medical
negligence i f your mother died in Grand Asia?"
Hic-
Rose was jolted awake.

Her mother''s life was in Jay''s hands the moment she was transferred into the hospital.
Whether she signed the contract or not, her mother''s fate could not be changed. The only thing that
could change was how much that capitalist was willing topensate.
He wanted to be free frompensation.
The stingy, evil tycoon.
Jay turned the contract to thest page which Rose had not read and handed it back to her. He
whispered haughtily, "You should decide whether or not to agree after reading this."
Rose took it suspiciously, read the contents of the contract page, and found herself stuck on the
paragraph.
ording to the contract, Jay was using her mother a s a hostage to force her to be Jenson’s
nanny.
''Haha!’ Rose nearly snorted at that moment.
She considered that a wonderful opportunity. She would likely agree even if Jay did not threaten her
mother.
She missed her first baby so much!
However-Rose was unnerved when she looked at Jay.
Why would this guy give her such a wonderful thing without a catch?
Jay looked at Rose''s doubtful face, unsure if she would follow along with his n.
"Are you really going to let me see our son?" Rose asked skeptically.
"Rose, watch your words," Jay said testily. "He’s my son, not yours." He spelled it out word by word.
"I’ll allow you to see him, but with one condition-"
"And that is?"
"Without my permission, you can never tell him that you''re his mother."
