Chapter 1309
Noel was absolutely stunned by that fact.
He said with remorse, "So Ben is my daughter''s son."
When he thought of how he had almost killed his own grandson, Noel felt a huge wave of regret
surge through him.
Cole walked to the grand old master and went down o n his knees. "Grandfather, please punish
me."
Grand Old Master Yorks and Spencer stared at Cole in disbelief. They always thought that Cole was
calm and collected, never making any mistakes.
"Cole, why are you saying such a thing?"

The grand old master had a feeling that Cole knew many things about Ben.
Thus, Cole started to tell the story about the rivalry between him and Jay.
"You might not know this, Grandpa, but Ben has another identity. He''s the eldest grandson of the
Ares family-Jay Ares."
Both the grand old master and Spencer were shocked till they could not quite stand straight.
The war between the Areses and Yorks went far back.
Cole continued, "Three and a half years ago, I wasmanded to massacre the entirety of
Tourmaline Estate. I burnt Jay''s tank. I saw him in that tank with my eyes, and I thought that he was
dead..."
Pain shed across Cole’s eyes as he remembered the incident from three and a half years ago. He
could still feel that agonizing pain when he thought of Angeline attempting to assassinate him.
Cole then continued, "Even Angeline thought he was dead, so Angeline revealed his true identity to
me to exact revenge. I know that she wanted me to live in regret forever, and she seeded in
doing so.
"The moment I knew that Jay was the son of Aunty and Jordan Ares, I was shocked to my core. I
knew that your biggest regret was someone as perfect as Aunt Chloe not leaving you with a
sessor. It was m e who killed thatst hope you wanted so much..."
Spencer finally realized why his son had such a huge change in personality after the trip to Imperial
Capital. He did not want to fight nor kill anymore because he had killed the wrong person, so he
was living every single day in remorse.
Spencer was also thankful that Jay had not died.
If Jay really did perish in Cole''s hands, then Cole might not be able to wipe off that regret in his life
forever.
Cole suddenlyughed at himself and said, "Looks like I’ve been yed by Jay. He must''ve
relocated the Ares family to a safe ce before setting Tourmaline Estate on fire, burning all of the
bodies there and disabling m e from tracing him. The way Angeline acted reassured me further that
Jay was dead.”
Cole held his head as the remorse in his heart turned into frustration. "We werepletely tricked."
Cole was his son, after all, so Spencer could not help butfort him. "Cole, it''s all in the past.”
Although he knew that Jay was a genius, he was still astonished by the fact that he single-handedly
ensured the safety of the Ares family while fooling Grand Old Master Yorks. The man''s rationale
made him speechless.
He then felt a sense of pride in his heart.
After a long while.
The grand old master looked at Cole with sadness in his eyes. "So Angeline is Jay''s wife?"
Cole nodded in guilt.
Noel suddenly threw the ashtray on the table toward his son, scolding him, "Look at what you''ve
done. If you hadn''t set Angeline up, then she wouldn''t have ended up like this. You made JJ lose his
beloved wife and lose his will to live as well.”
Spencer quickly apologized. "Dad, I''m very sorry."
Cole said, "No, Grandpa, I was wrong. If I hadn''t hidden the truth, then Father wouldn''t have made
the mistake of making me hurt... Cousin-inw..."
Noel watched Cole who was on the brink of death. His wrath was suddenly defused into a sense of
helplessness. "Forget it, you didn''t know the whole truth anyway."
Spencer then helped Cole up as the grand old master waved at them. "Leave."
Spencer and Cole slowly left the scene. The grand old master, on the other hand, anxiously wanted
to see his grandson.
Jay had woken up, looking awfully like a brilliant flower withering away.
