    "Oh, is that so?" Jenson chuckled.

    His hypnotism would only be ineffective on one type o f people, the ones who had no worldly


    desires and those with unyielding willpower. People like Jacob, who was blinded by greed, would


    never have the capability of resisting hypnotism.


    "Grandpa Jacob, is Faith your daughter?" Jenson went straight to the topic.


    Jacob nodded first... before ultimately shaking his head.


    Jenson suddenly plucked a few strands of Jacob''s hair and said, "It doesn''t matter whether or not


    you admit it. A simple paternity test can tell me the answer."


    Jacob huffed angrily as he said, "Jenson, you-"


    "You and Madam Nephele started as the domineering president and gentle assistant. But the two of


    you must’ve been in cahoots from the beginning. After Madam Nephele gave birth to a daughter for


    you, she must''ve sincerely done everything to help you, right?"


    A touch of resistance shed across Jacob’s eyes. However, with Jenson''s jade pendant dangling


    in front of him, he soon became dizzy and his eyes


    turned dim. Even his consciousness was bingx and unclear.


    "Since you already know everything, why bother questioning me?" Jacob spat out the words.


    Jenson said, "I was merely curious about something. Grandpa Jacob, for Madam Nephele alone,


    you deserted your first wife and ended up getting spurned by your children. Is it all worth it?"


    "What do you know? You don''t know anything!" Jacob roared. "I wasn''t nning on hurting


    Charlotte. But she became a hindrance to me...."


    "A hindrance to what?" Jenson was aware that Jacob was hiding an unspeakable truth inside his


    heart.


    However, it seemed like the secret he was hiding was s o deep that Jacob was unwilling to spit it


    out even under hypnotism. It was evident that this secret had a profound and longsting effect on


    him.


    The only thing Jenson could do now was systematically guide Jacob into telling him the truth based


    on his own spection. "Grandpa Jacob, Faith i s the daughter of you and Nephele Davis, yet you


    made her the Ares family''s maid. Don''t you think you''re too cruel? As the child of the Ares family,


    even i f she''s an illegitimate daughter, she should have a brighter life."


    "That was Nephele''s decision. She couldn''t let Faith’s identity be revealed, or it''ll cause her an even


    bigger issue.”


    "She’s a healer of the Davis descendant and isn''t allowed to marry a man outside. Is this the


    reason?"


    “Yes. I love her, and she loves me as well. If it weren’t because of Nephele’s reluctance to reveal


    her identity, I think I would''ve divorced your Grandma Charlotte and married Nephele instead. Then


    we would truly be husband and wife out in the open.”


    Jacob abruptly thought of something, and his pupils suddenly turned scarlet. He gritted his teeth


    and said, ” That way, your Grandma Charlotte wouldn''t have had the right to hinder my rtionship


    with Nephele. She''s just a jealous and maniptive mad woman. She caused the death of our child


    and took control of my fortune. The woman should have died a long time _ _ n ago.


    When Jenson listened to Jacob''s intention to inflict suffering upon others, he felt nothing but a


    terrifying chill. "I understand now. Grandma Charlotte hindered you from living your life in


    debauchery, stopped you from having children with other women, and disallowed you from using the


    Ares family''s money outside. She took full control of your spending power, and this action of hers


    made you feel nothing but resentment toward her. Hence, after bottling up all of your contempt and


    hatred for a long time, you finally decided to get rid of her, right?”


    "No. I''ve built up a tolerance for her after so many years. Although I was by no means happy, I’ve


    never thought of killing her. It''s because she overheard a secret that shouldn’t have been heard...”


    "What secret?" Jenson asked vigntly.


    Jacob was silent once more.


    Jenson took another indirect approach and inquired for ages again. Jacob would answer all of


    Jenson''s questions very cooperatively, but once they circled back to that secret, Jacob became


    mute once again.


    Jenson stopped the hypnotism, and Jacob proceeded t o fall asleep.


    When Jenson returned to Chateau de Selene, he informed Jay of the results from hypnotizing


    Grandpa Jacob.


    "Daddy, what secret do you think Grandpa Jacob is hiding?"
