Chapter 157


    Jay had never felt so much agony in his life.


    It was so agonizing that he, a usually courageous man, dared not identify her body, nor did he


    attend her funeral or visit her grave...


    He dared not go near anything that would remind him of her, and he had carefully repressed all his


    feelings.


    He hid away the feelings of agony that were disyed in his eyes and resumed his usual calm and


    aloof manner. "You are not me, so how would you know what I feel?" He said in a low voice.


    Rose pouted her luscious, beautiful lips slightly. ''If you knew what love was, why would you let


    Angeline Severe, my past self, to live in such oppressive conditions and die unreconciled?'' She


    whispered in her heart.


    The rest of the journey back to the mansion was done s o in silence. From a distance, they could


    see Josephine standing at the doorway dressed in a bright red low-cut dress and adorned in jewelry


    and essories. Her elegant and noble demeanor crumbled when she saw Jay and Rose walking


    one in front of the other. She waved at them with both her arms and shouted excitedly.


    "Brother! Sister-inw!"


    Jay''s face suddenly became dangerously sullen. He


    walked over to his sister with big strides and said with a darkened expression, "How many times I


    have t o tell you that she is not your sister-inw?"


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Josephine''s mischievous gaze darted between the two people. She could visibly feel that for some


    reason, her brother was less rejective of Sister-inw. Otherwise, he would not have willingly


    allowed Rose to appear within a ten-mile radius of him.


    "Brother, Sister-inw, why are both of you together?" Josephine asked with a curious smile.


    Jay knew that his imaginative sister would conjure up some cliched urban rom story and


    therefore nipped it in the bud. "Rose is now working as a nanny at my house. When Robbie is


    closer to me, she will automatically leave."


    Josephine pouted. That was the modus operand! of the Jay she knew: The ends justify the means!


    Rose was hurt when Jay divulged his true intentions." You''re despicable, Sir Ares," she said


    incredulously.


    Jay nced condescendingly at Rose and said nonchntly, "You''re the one who''s too stupid,


    Rose Toyle. I''ve said it before that Baby Robbie carries the bloodline of the Ares family. I will


    definitely win over his custody rights." He nced at Rose provocatively. 1


    Rose was stunned speechless. ''Can''t you show a little mercy, Sir Ares?''


    Jay said nothing but smiled at how Rose was hurt. " Why are you here, Josephine?" Jay shifted the


    conversation topic.


    Josephine took out two invitation cards from her designer handbag. She handed one to Jay and the


    other one to Rose. "This is the invitation to my birthday party. I hope that both of you cane."


    Jay nced at the time and venue of the party on the invitation card, then handed it back to


    Josephine. "I know. I will be punctual to the party. I don''t need the card."


    Josephine waited eagerly for Rose''s reply. Rose held the invitation card closely to her chest. She


    was caught in a major dilemma.


    Her boss had assigned her a lot of work!


    Jay nced at Rose. "You don''t have to go if you don''t want to. Those events aren''t suitable for you


    anyway."


    Rose lifted her head and stared at him. "Why would they be unsuitable?"


    Jay towered over her and looked at her. His gaze was full of condescension and mockery. "Aren''t


    you hesitating because you don''t have any clothes suitable for the party? I don''t think you have the


    money to buy any suitable clothes either."
