Chapter 413


    Jay was the eldest grandson, so he pulled Rose over to wish Old Master Ares.


    "Your grandson wishes you a happy birthday, Grandpa. I hope theing years will bring you more


    happiness and health."


    Rose bit the bullet and said, "I wish you a blessed birthday, Old Master Ares. May you and your


    family be blessed with good health all year long!"


    When the emcee walked down to receive the gift, Rose hesitated to hand it over.


    Jay gave her a look while Rose stared back at him vengefully, whispering, "Didn''t you say that Old


    Master Ares wouldn’t open gifts?"


    "Mm, I meant gifts from outsiders," Jay said proudly.


    She wanted to cry but found no tears.


    God damn it, this b*stard was too good at dismissing people.


    Under the ring eyes of onlookers, Rose had no choice but to present her gift.


    Hanging her head low, she anticipated the voices of mockery.


    Old Master Ares opened up the gift box and unfurled the scroll.


    The ink was not dry yet, so his hand was identally stained with a ck streak of ink.


    The onlooking friends and rtives sighed amongst themselves. "This calligraphy was made at the


    last minute?"


    "How could you do that? If you don’t wish to give a present, then don''t!"


    Rose felt heat searing her face.


    Jay’s cold gaze swept across the people, and the bickering lot immediately fell silent.


    Old Master Ares held up the calligraphy, a look of astonishment slowly appearing on his expression


    the more he looked at it.


    Jay had told him before that Rose Loyle was Angeline Severe. However, he had doubted that fact.


    Today, he doubted no more.


    On this piece of calligraphy, the birthday wish was written in a grandiose manner with a hint of


    humor in it. The handwriting was intense, intricate, and extraordinary.


    That really was Angelina''s handwriting.


    Old Master Ares looked at Rose and smiled warmly," Rose, your gift warms my heart."


    At hisment, she was dumbstruck. Old Master Ares said that he liked her gift?


    Old Master Ares said, "I''m old, so I''ve lost the love that I once had for material things. Instead, I''ve


    taken a liking to simple yet sincere gifts. The fact that I could receive a heartfelt and thoughtful gift


    from someone makes me very happy.”


    He paused for a moment, then added, "Rose, what reward would you like?"


    Rose went into deep thought. Since Old Master Ares was a generous man, this meant that she was


    about to get rich!


    Jay responded instead, "Grandpa, I’ll reward her in kind."


    Old Master Ares replied, "You’d better reward her nicely."


    Looking at Jay glumly, she wondered this b*stard was stopping her from getting rich!


    After Jay pulled her away, he asked her, "Tell me, what do you want?"


    Rose said casually, "What can a stingy man like you give me!"


    Jay,"..."


    Gritting his teeth, he asked again, "You don''t want anything? Are you sure you won’t regret itter?"


    Rose gave it some thought. "I do want something."


    Even getting a simple embroidery needle meant something at least!


    Jay thought of what women would like...


    "Why don’t I give you flowers..."

    She shook her head. "Flowers are no good. I can''t eat them!"


    Following her train of thought, he then asked, "You want a feast?"


    Rose shook her head again. "If I eat more, I’ll be a s fat as a pig."


    "What do you want, then?"


    "Sir Ares, why don’t you give me some money instead?" asked Rose.


    Jay looked at her, speechless. "Giving you money would be too condescending."
