Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 1968

Jacob glared at Second Madam. He was filled with resentment toward her as she was creating such difficulties, but he still kept a rather elegant appearance.

"It's getting late today, Madam. Why don't we let them stay the night? I'll send them away tomorrow."

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that this was Jacob's strategy to stall her.

However, Second Madam still accepted the kind offer. She scorned and loathed these strangers standing inside her annex and suddenly chuckled smugly.

"Heh, when I wake up tomorrow morning, I hope I won't see the house still filled with all this trash. Or else, we’ll head to the town hall at eight o'clock tomorrow."

After getting married to Jacob, Second Madam had never quit her job. Not only did she have her own newspaper office, but she had also helped Jacob out i n the business world.

She was well-versed in the cruel fights that occurred within the rich and powerful families. To prevent Jacob from plotting anything against her, she had never given him the opportunity and time to transfer

the assets to his name.

Jacob's heart was fuming with anger, yet he tried to compromise while saying, "Aren't you being too forceful, Madam? How can I help them settle down in such a short period?

Second Madam's pupils immediately shrunk, and she faintly examined the look in Jacob's eyes. Her own eyes were filled with nothing but disappointment in him.

"It's not easy for you to settle them down in such a short period of time?"

Perhaps he was more afraid that the transferring of assets would not be so easy, right?

Jacob was somewhat uncomfortable from Second Madam's serene and unpredictable stare. He was secretly plotting to transfer their assets these few days so that Second Madam would not profit from their divorce and perhaps would not push him for one. When the time came, maybe she would even obediently be fully convinced by him to accept the new arrangement?

"Do all of you know about your father bringing all of his mistresses home?" Second Madam asked in a dark tone.

Jasper, Joanna, and Julia nodded sorrowfully. Then, Jasper complained, "Dad’s truly gone senile. Why can’t he remember that Third Uncle's legs were crippled because of his mistresses all those years ago?"

Second Madam looked at her children's pitiful faces that made them look like abandoned dogs and sternly criticized, "All of you cheer up. You cannot be discouraged, especially during times like this.”

The three siblings looked at their mother in unison. "D o you have a plan, Mom?"

Second Madam said, "Your dad is having thoughts of trying to transfer the assets to him due to my threat of divorcing him. I'll never allow all of you to gain nothing from this."

Afterward, Second Madam stared at her three children fiercely. "Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"
