Chapter 1146


    "Mom," he cried out anxiously.


    Madam Ares crawled up to him weakly andined about her tragic experience with


    indignance. "I’m sorry, Son. Your mother has brought shame to the Ares family"


    Madam Ares attempted to win Jay’s favor by acknowledging her mistake first.


    Madam Ares thenined tearfully. "But I have m y sorrows too, Son. Steven and I were


    childhood sweethearts. We even won our parents’ full support. With their support, I gave up


    everything to love him. But who would''ve thought that my family would go bankrupt? The Bells are a


    bunch of snobs and forced m e to break off the engagement. Steven and I tried to elope, but our


    n failed as we were caught and brought back here. They broke one of his legs, and in order to


    save him, I had no choice but to promise the Bell family to marry into the Ares family.


    "I was left with no choice but to marry your father. Your father treats me kindly, but a thorn is always


    there pricking my heart. I cannot bring myself to love him with all my heart because this marriage


    was forced upon me.”


    At this point, a touch of anger shed in Madam Ares''


    eyes. "When Angeline found out that Steven and I were still in touch, she told the Ares family that


    we''re having an affair and exaggerated the details. I know what she''s plotting at. She''s afraid that


    both Ares and Bell families will work together to destroy Grand Asia. She''ll stop at nothing to protect


    Grand Asia. She doesn''t care how helpless I am, nor my identity as a mother and her elder."


    Jay asked Madam Ares in an indifferent tone, "Have you ever told Angeline that you and Steven are


    just normal friends?"


    Madam Ares said, "She knows. She knows everything."


    Jay asked again, "Have you ever told her, clearly and inly, that even though you''re still keeping in


    touch with Bell Enterprise, you have no intention of harming Grand Asia at all?"


    Madam Ares said emotionally, "You trust her way too much, my child. No matter what she said or


    did in the past, you would indulge her nheless. Look at what''s happening now. You''ve indulged


    her into this spoiled and domineering person, harming others and yourself. Now you''re the one who


    ends up suffering, isn''t it?"


    Jay’s long eyshes quivered. He did not doubt a word Madam Ares said because every time he


    saw Angeline, he would have an inexplicable urge to protect and believe her.

    Madam Aresughed bitterly all of a sudden. "You’re infatuated with her, but does she feel the


    same? She reduced the Ares family, Imperial Capital''s most wealthy aristocratic family, to a mere


    commoner. She turned you, an almighty and all-powerful young master, into a patient with amnesia.


    Worst of all, she lost my grandsons..."


    Jay''s pupils contracted. His vision turned dark as he felt as though he was about to pass out. He


    held the wall for support so he would not copse to the ground.


    He stood up slowly. "How do you want me to help you?"


    Madam Ares said, "Your father is still angry right now and forbids anyone from visiting me. He''s


    going to starve me to death. Son, I have spent half of my life raising you and have never asked for


    anything in return. All I''m asking right now is for you to let me out."


    Jay was having a splitting headache from the impact she brought him earlier, yet when he spoke


    again, he made sure to speak his mind. "You brought this misfortune upon yourself. I can’t trust you


    fully because you worked with Sera to deceive me. I will let you go today to repay your grace for


    raising and nurturing me all those years. After this, I won’t get involved in any of your affairs


    anymore!"


    When he unlocked the dark room, Madam Ares struggled to her feet and staggered out.


    Before she left, she seemed to remember something and said to Jay, "Son, whether you believe me


    or not, I still need to warn you lest you end up like your sons."


    After saying those words, Madam Ares endured the agonizing pain in her body and hurried away in


    panic.


    Two children''s innocent voices rang out in Jay''s mind. "Daddy!"


    Another voice was much deeper and calmer. "Daddy!"


    Colors had drained from Jay’s face. He dragged his heavy body and moved forward one step at a


    time, each step an agony.


    When Baby Zetty gave him a call, Jay stared at the screen and slowly swiped to unlock his phone.


    "Where are you, Daddy?" Baby Zetty seemed to be sobbing. "Hurry up ande home. Mommy''s


    hands won''t stop shaking. I’m scared, Daddy!" Silently, Jay hung up the call.
