Chapter 220


    When Jay Ares did not seed in consoling her, he became surprisingly angry. "Rose Loyle, know


    your boundaries."


    Rose stared at him, gulped, and said timidly, "I didn''t beg you to help me though?"


    Jaypletely gave up on her. "I can''t be bothered with you."


    After that, the atmosphere in the car turned icy.


    The two of them did not speak. When Grayson saw that the president was unhappy, he quickly


    turned on the music, hoping to adjust the atmosphere.


    The song was from Angeline Severe’s concert. Jay and Rose were already giving each other the


    cold shoulder. When he suddenly heard Angelina''s voice, Jay felt a surge of anger rise within him.


    This ignorant fool. He barked at Grayson, "Turn it off."


    Rose stared at the grumpy Jay, thinking that she was infatuated with him, yet he could not even


    stand to hear the sound of her voice. She suddenly felt like they were standing on two opposite


    ends of the earth.


    "I want to hear it." She protested softly.


    Jay stared at her. After seeing the rebellious glint in her gaze, the corners of his lips quirked into a


    slight smile.


    "Do you know who the singer is?" he asked.


    Rose hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "N o!"


    As soon as she said that, Rose''s childishness appeared again. She widened her inky, ck eyes


    and stared straight at Jay. She started tooting her own horn. "But she has a lovely voice as if it can


    soothe all the worries that gue a person''s mind. Don''t you think s o?"


    Jay could not help himself. "Mm."


    What a boastful narcissist!


    Rose decided to take it one step further. "Grayson, Sir Ares likes that song too. Please turn on the


    volume." 1


    Without the president’s direct order, how would Grayson dare to turn on the music on his own?


    He was not dumb. It was obvious that it was Rose who wanted to listen to it.


    "y it!" Jay ordered.


    "Oh.” Grayson turned on the music, and the beautiful melody filled the space.


    Jay closed his eyes, silently listening to Angelina''s ferryman’s song in the film, ''Let Me Stay By Your


    Side''! 1


    The touching melody, together with her ethereal voice, told a tale of love and infatuation. Each note


    resonated deep within his soul.


    Rose teared up as she listened to the song. The lyrics '' the smallest me, the humblest dream’,


    made her feel emotional.


    "Turn it off,” she croaked hoarsely.


    Jay opened his eyes and stared at her nkly. He saw that her longshes were trembling like


    withered leaves in the autumn wind. That helpless, precarious life had no foundation.


    Jay reached out to hold her hand, but he paused midway before putting his hand down again.


    He still had some doubts in his heart that were not yet relieved, so he should not provoke her


    unscrupulously.


    If he could not respond to her, then all he could do was protect her silently.

    ''Angeline, if it’s you, please hold on a little longer,'' he thought to himself.


    The Rolls-Royce stopped at Horizon Colors.


    Jay opened the door and strode over to the other side. He wanted to open the door for her, but


    before he could, Rose had already opened the door and walked out on her own.


    She never expected him to be a gentleman to her.


    Jay was frozen in his spot. He watched as Rose walked toward the vi sullenly, sighing almost


    inaudibly.


    He suddenly recalled something and rolled down the driver seat’s window. Grayson gave him a


    puzzled look.


    "Do you have any orders, President?”


    "Go and investigate just what kind of crisis the Severe family business is facing."


    "Alright," Grayson replied.
