Cole said, "With that head of yours, you may not recognize your niece even if she's standing in front of you."
Zayne felt that he had been severely humiliated for his IQ. He bluntly scoffed back, saying, "That’s my precious niece you're talking about. I can recognize her even if she has turned to ashes.”
Feeling that his words would bring about a bad omen, Zayne patted his mouth after saying it. He reprimanded himself, "What's with this mouth of yours?"
Hence, Jay decided to spare him.
Cole looked over at Jay and said, "Why don’t you tell this muddle-headed idiot the truth? Otherwise, when h e returns to Imperial Capital, he'll only add more unnecessary details to the story to twist the relationship between you and Winter. At that time, if Angeline hears his one-sided story, she’ll be somewhat uncomfortable with it."
Jay nodded.
Zayne was dumbfounded as he listened to these two i n front of him. Feeling utterly displeased, he muttered, "What truth? Why do all of you know something I
don't?”
Cole bluntly insulted Zayne, saying, "Because you’re stupid.”
Zane asked curiously, "What are all of you hiding from me?"
Only then did Cole tell him the truth, "Haven't you been extremely curious as to why Sir Ares is so good t o Granny Winter?"
Zayne still felt annoyed when this incident was mentioned. He stared at Jay in dissatisfaction and said, "I just find it strange, that's all. You're usually a cold, pure-hearted person with no desire. Yet you were overly considerate of Granny Winter."
Jay stared at him speechlessly and started demonstrating his eloquent, sharp tongue, "Your IQ is no different from a child's."
"You're still insulting me..." Zane was fuming.
At this moment, Cole immediately exposed the truth." It's because Granny Winter is Sir Ares’ little darling.”
Zayne’s face twitched violently. "His little darling?"
