Jacob asked suspiciously, "Why is he here at this hour?”
Jacob had no choice but to greet Grand Old Master Ares at the door.
Mammoth Courtyard's front door.
Despite walking over with a smile, Jacob voiced out the doubts he had in his heart, "Father, JJ, why are you here?”
Grand Old Master Ares said, "Tourmaline Estate is in disharmony recently. I can't feel at ease, so I brought J J over to patrol. I just arrived at Mammoth Courtyard when I heard Julia's cries. My hearing isn't as good anymore but I heard Julia saying someone was transferring out the assets. What's going on?”
Jacob's back was drenched in sweat as he said, "Oh Dad, don't listen to the crap Julia says. Her mother is sick and has left her out in the cold. That’s why she's saying all these heartless things out of anger."
Julia muttered, "I'm not saying these things out of anger. I heard that Mom transferred out the assets..."
Grand Old Master Ares asked, "How's your wife feeling?"
Jacob sighed. "Sigh, her illness came like an
avalanche. It happened so abruptly. She doesn’t even have the strength to get out of bed."
Jay said, "If Aunt Charlotte is so sick, why didn't you inform us earlier? We could hire an expert to check on her."
Jacob replied, "Sigh, her illness isn’t treatable."
"Why?"
Jacob explained, “She's narrow-minded and extremely jealous. She refuses to live in harmony with the other women of mine, and it made her sick."
Grand Old Master Ares glanced at Angeline and said," Angelina, go and check on Aunt Charlotte. It's almost the new year now. Ask her to take care of herself and stop being angry."
Angeline responded obediently, "Yes, Grandpa."
Jacob tried to stop her but since Grand Old Master Ares had spoken up, he was in no position to say anything else.
