Grayson's proposal would not only fulfill Jay's filialness, but it would also avoid upsetting Angeline even further.
However, when Jay gave it further thought, he felt somewhat unsettled. Jay replied to him in anguish, "M y mother might’ve made a lot of mistakes, but she’s still my mother. She doesn't treat Angeline kindly, but she has been good to me. If I avoid her this way, she'll only be disappointed. But if I go and see her, it'll be unfair to Angeline."
Grayson said, "Mr. Ares, Madam isn't in Imperial Capital at the moment. If you go over to Imperial Capital Hotel to welcome your parents, Madam would not find out about it. As for those media outlets, I'll deal with them for you."
Jay hesitated... Ultimately, he stood up from his chair and ordered Grayson, "Deal with them. We must never let Angeline know about the things that are happening around here."
Grayson replied, "Yes."
Grand Asia was only one street away from Imperial Capital Hotel. To hide from the public eye, Jay asked Grayson to call a cab.
When the cab was on its way, it was stuck in traffic because of the Areses' welcoming wagon.
Grayson looked at Jay's expression that was getting darker by the second and cautiously suggested, "Why don’t you walk over, Mr. Ares?"
Jay looked at Imperial Capital Hotel at the end of the road, which was a few minutes' walk away. If he continued to sit in the car, it might take a few hours.
Jay decided to push the car door open.
Standing by the side of the road, his unparalleled handsome face and perfectly straight, refined stature was instantly the focus of the crowd.
"Look, that's Imperial Capital's crown prince, Master Ares... He's even more handsome in real life, way better than those boyband members."
At this moment, Angeline was hugging Shirley's baby as she dashed out of the private cab hurriedly.
Hearing the passersby's clamors, she also looked over curiously.
Seeing Jay hurrying over toward Imperial Capital Hotel while hiding his face, Angeline was slightly astonished. She asked the reporter next to her, "Miss, what’s Master Ares doing in Imperial Capital Hotel?"
The reporter replied, "There’s a rumor going around that Master Ares' long-lost parents have returned, so Master Ares is personally going over to Imperial Capital Hotel to welcome them..."
