Chapter 499
It dawned on Jay that Rose was allergic to pollen. She only threw his roses away as she had no
other choice but to do so.
At that, the anger in his chest simmered to a small flicker.
He redressed Rose and finally put her to sleep after dealing with quite the fuss she put up.
In her dreams, Rose muttered unstoppably, "Let''s get married, Josie. Both Zayne Severe and Jay
Ares can go to hell!"
Jay''s eyes grew cold as the corners of his lips tugged into a sneer. “Going to pretend nothing
happened after provoking me, Zayne Severe?"
Josephine fell with a sudden thud off the sofa.
He stared at the woman who continued to sleep even after somersaulting onto the floor. He had
always taken her as an innocent idiot he needed to protect, but it never crossed his mind that this
moron would one day be the biggest threat of his life.
Indeed, one should never judge a book by its cover!
Jay felt the need to call for extraordinary measures before this pair of best friends further developed
their '' tonic soulmate'' rtionship!
"People."
Grayson pushed open the door. "Yes, Mr. President?" "Drag the seconddy away."
Grayson froze in shock!
Did he hear it wrong? Did the president just use the word ''drag''?
"Yes, Sir."
Grayson beckoned the bodyguards over with a gesture and they immediately followed per the
president''s orders.
They truly dragged her away this time, with one of them tugging her out of the room by her waist.
Feeling her lungs give at the pressure, Josie was startled from her deep sleep and shouted with her
eyes still shut, "What the hell? I''m still a youngdy. Would it kill you to carry me instead?"
Unimpressed, Jay picked up a teacup from the table and sshed ice-cold water on Josephine.
Instantly, Josie''s eyes shot open. The sight of her cold brother, Jay, sobered her up immediately.
"Jay." Pushing the bodyguard away, she shrunk into herself as she stood in front of her brother.
Jay''s sharp gaze cut into Josephine. "Getting bold now, are you? Hitting on your brother’s woman.”
Confuddled, Josephine stared nkly at Jay.
"It was Sister-inw’s idea to go drinking, Jay. Not m
e!" Shepletely missed Jay’s point.
"Why go drinking?” Jay went with her flow.

"Sister-inw wasn''t in a good mood."
He continued to stare viciously at Josephine as she shrunk even deeper into herself.
She may be dumb, but the decades she spent in Jay’s vicinity gave her the ability to grasp the
meaning behind his res.
As for this moment in time, the passive answers she gave him were starting to frustrate and piss
him off.
"Sister-inw said you''re willing to spend so much on an insignificant care worker yet not a cent on
your actual wife. Disheartened as she was, she invited me t o go drinking.”
"I thought I prohibited both of you from drinking?”
Jay could not understand. Sure, Rose was good at acting pliant in front of him before throwing his
words out the window, but Josephine feared him and treated his words like they were imperial
edicts. Why would she ignore his words and go drinking?
Josephine''s reply was soft. "I didn’t want to go at first, but Sister-inw said that life is too short to
wallow in self-pity. You know how I am with persuasion... I can''t hold my ground. So I went with her.''
Hearing this, he was infuriated. "If she jumped off a bridge, would you follow too?"
She quickly straightened herself and held her head high. Her expression was one of detachment to
life''s pleasures and fearlessness of death. "If that''s what Sister-inw wishes, then I shall... Do my
best to follow!"
Jay’s sharp eyes squinted as coldness began to seep from around him.
He felt a tinge of a threat at Josephine''s rtionship with Rose.
His head throbbed for that split moment.
"From today onward, you''re not allowed to see her anymore." A dangerous tone sounded from the
light movement of Jay''s lips.
Josie promptly protested, saying, "Why won’t you let m e see Sister-inw, Jay?"
He merely left with a dark look on his face.
