Zayne had enough insults from Angeline and Josie, so he went over to Jenson to seek solace.
"Jens, I heard that you used hypnotism on your Grandpa Jacob today and made him confess to a lot of secrets that shouldn't be told. Is this true?"
Jenson replied, "It's true."
"Is hypnotism that magical? How about trying it out o n your uncle here? Let me feel the magic too," said Zayne impatiently.
Jenson walked toward Angeline and sat down next to his mommy. Then, he carefully placed his head on his mommy's knee and acted coyly. "Is the baby nice to you lately, Mommy?"
Jenson might be a ruthless tyrant in front of outsiders, but he was still a child when in front of his mommy.
Angeline stroked the dark circles under Jenson's eyes and said distressingly, "Your little sister has been very good. But have you been getting enough sleep lately?"
Jenson sat up in amazement, and his eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "So it's a little sister, Mommy?"
Angeline smiled and nodded. “I found out after doing the ultrasound the day before yesterday. Are you
happy that it's a sister?"
Jenson said, "Yeah. She'll be as cute and kind as Baby Zetty."
Angeline said, "For me and your daddy, sons and daughters are the same."
Zayne had wholeheartedly asked for a daughter, but they gave birth to a son instead. Hearing that Angeline was pregnant with a daughter, he became extremely jealous of Jay.
However, at this moment, Zayne was thoroughly intrigued by Jenson's hypnotism. He grabbed Jenson and pleaded with him to the best of his ability, "Jens, come one. Just perform it on me this one time."
Jens said, "Would you like to know what Grandpa Jacob said after being hypnotized?"
It was as if Zayne was possessed by a nosy meddling woman as he gossiped, "What? What'd he say?"
"He explained the reason why he killed Grandma Charlotte.”
"So what was the reason?"
Zayne was in a huff, saying, "Why, you little... Just don't ask these questions, okay? Ask something else..."
While it was lively in Chateau de Selene's front yard, the backyard, however, was shrouded in a treacherous atmosphere.
Jay and Grand Old Master Ares were sitting on opposite sides of the courtyard table, looking at one another with extraordinarily solemn expressions on their faces.
Grand Old Master Ares was puzzled as he asked, "You mean your second uncle is hiding a huge secret, and because of this secret, he didn't hesitate to harm his first wife?"
Jay nodded. "Although Jens used hypnotism to force out a confession, you know very well that hypnotism can't force out a confession out of thin air."
Grand Old Master Ares looked at Jay, giving him a scrutinizing gaze. He was becoming somewhat stirred up. "Jay, I really don’t know what other kinds of secrets the Ares family is keeping, especially one that's enough to drive your second uncle to kill your second aunt."
Jay took a sip of his coffee, clearly showing his disbelief toward Grand Old Master Ares. He said," When you hid the secrets about my mom and dad, didn't you also frankly tell me that Tourmaline Estate had no secrets too? And what came out of that?"
Grand Old Master Ares said, "I didn't tell you the secrets about your mom and dad to protect you."
