Chapter 2018


    Angeline merely hoped that this child would get to be whoever they wanted to be.


    The atmosphere at the family event was akin to a wildfire that had been ignited. Even the Ares


    family''s mistresses began to flock around Angeline to give her their blessings.


    No one seemed to have noticed that at this moment, there was a faint scent of fragrant wood


    wafting through the air.


    When the smell of fragrant wood became stronger, someone fainted and fell to the ground.


    Someone else yelled, "Ahhh! snakes!"


    Very quickly, the entire scene became chaotic.

    Jay held Angeline in his arms and continuously looked over at the people who were toppling over


    one another. He said restlessly, "You must leave this ce immediately, Angeline."


    Angeline said, "What about you?"


    Angeline was holding Jay’s hand, reluctant to leave him. Her eyes were filled with concern at the


    moment. However, she could not bring herself to so selfishly ask Jay to go with her and have him


    disregard the others.


    After all, so many people had copsed. How could Jay, the eldest grandson of the Ares family, put


    his own safety first before matters of principle?


    Jay coaxed Angeline, saying, "I''ll be fine. I''ll ask the Ghost members to escort you. You’ll have to


    leave with Josie and the others. Listen to me and go right now."


    At this time, Josie and Zayne ran over to pull Angeline away with them.


    "Jaybie..." Angeline cried out.


    Jay felt immensely tormented. All he wanted to do at this very moment wasfort the worried and


    anxious Angeline.


    "There''s no need to worry about me, Angeline."


    "You have toe back safely."


    "Alright."


    When Angeline and the others had left with the wave o f people, only Jay and Cole, who was


    fighting alongside him, remained in the courtyard.


    "There are too many snakes!" Cole eximed. "What the hell is going on?"


    Jay said, "Perhaps the smell of fragrant wood attracted these snakes?"


    "What should we do now?"


    "Find a way to kill them."


    Cole looked at his empty hands. "With our bare


    hands?! How many snakes do you think we can kill?"


    Jay looked around for a useful weapon, and finally, he noticed a fruit knife on the table. Jay picked it


    up and threw it at Cole.


    "How about you?" Cole asked.


    Jay spat out, "I don''t need it."


    Cole sneered and said, "Are you trying to be a hero? Don''t forget that Angelina is currently pregnant


    with your child. If anything happens to you, Angelina will be a widow and she''ll have to bring


    up the kid on her own. Wouldn''t that be too pitiful for her?"


    "Shut it. I won’t let anything happen to me," Jay said with a snarl.


    Cole noticed the tiny beads of sweat forming on Jay’s forehead, letting him know of the man’s


    nervous state. Hence, he said nothing more to stir him up further.


    When the snakes were dashing toward them, Jay took off his shirt and set it on fire to use it as a


    shield. The snakes were somewhat terrified for a moment when they noticed the ze and did not


    continue to attack.


    "They''re afraid of fire," said Cole.


    Jay immediatelymanded, "Open all the bottles of wine and pour the contents on the ground!"


    Cole did as per his instruction...


    Then, Jay threw his burning shirt to the ground... Immediately, a huge fire was spreading on the


    floor.


    At this moment, Jens and Baby Robbie arrived right o n time.
