Chapter 2028
Jenson eyed him skeptically. "Do you really not know about Madam Nephele''s identity?"
Jacob replied, "I don''t."
Jenson let out a slight smile. "You do look like you''re unaware of this, Grandpa Jacob. However..."
Jenson’s gaze shifted to the renovatedpartments i n the basement and asked, "Do you not
know about these renovatedpartments either, Grandpa Jacob?"
Jacob was startled for a moment before shaking his head hard.
"I don’t.”
Jenson said, "No one is allowed to renovate Tourmaline Estate in private. If you wanted to renovate
this ce, you’d need to get permission from the head of the household. Do you know what sort of
punishment you''ll receive if someone from Mammoth Courtyard breaks the rules?”
"I do. It''s just a punishment, isn’t it? If anyone renovates the basement, they''ll have to pay a
500,000 dor fine..."
Jenson sneered and teased, "Are you very familiar with the rules, Grandpa Jacob? I wonder if you
can
recite the other rules?"
There was a sh of panic in Jacob’s eyes.
Jenson shed a smile. "There''s many a slip between the cup and the lip, Grandpa Jacob."
Jacob was dumbfounded.
Had Jenson realized he was lying?
"To be honest with you, Jens, I was aware that Nephele renovated the basement and I gave her
permission to do it, but I didn’t know why she wanted t o renovate the basement. I overindulged her
and catered to her every whim..."
Jenson cut him off directly and said, "Can you take me to Grandma Charlotte, Grandpa Jacob?"
Jacob looked as though he was ced in a difficult situation. "Grandma Charlotte isn’t feeling so
well."
Jenson asked, "Oh? She was fine a few days ago, wasn''t she?"
Jacob said, "You know how bullheaded she is. Ever since I brought my mistresses back to
Tourmaline Estate, she’s been mad at me and ignored me for days."
Jenson said, "All the more reason for me to visit Grandma Charlotte."
Jacob had no choice but to lead Jenson to the front of Mammoth Courtyard, Madam Charlotte''s
residence.
There was a female servant standing at the door. Jacob said to the female servant, "Inform Madam
Charlotte that Jens is here to see her."
The female servant said reverently, "Yes, sir."
Jenson narrowed his eyes. The female servant was excessively reverent to Jacob, which raised his
suspicion.
The wives of the family would have several cronies. Now that Jacob and Madam Charlotte were
having a major disagreement, logically speaking, her servant should be treating Jacob with bitter
resentment.
Soon, the servant walked out and said submissively," Madam Charlotte said that she’s tired and
isn’t fit to see anyone. She promised to visit Young Master Jens herself when she feels better."
Jenson nodded. "Okay." He then turned around and left.
Jacob''s features eased up slightly.
Jenson left Mammoth Courtyard and came to an outbuilding in Mammoth Courtyard named Starry
Residence.

This was the residence of Julia Ares, the third missus of the second Ares family.
"Why are you here, Jens?" Julia was extremely surprised to see Jenson.
Jens walked over and stood in front of Julia. Upon scrutinizing her face, he realized that she looked
sad.
"Is something bothering you, Aunt Julia?" Julia nced resentfully at Jenson andined,"
Jens, because you insisted on taking in the Ares mistresses, there’s now chaos here in the second
family."
