Jay looked at Grand Old Master Ares in a genuinely apologetic manner and said, “I’m sorry, Grandpa. I didn’t tell you about Grandma Boye’s return to Imperial Capital.”
Grand Old Master Ares sighed and said, “You didn’t have to tell me. I already knew.”
Jay was stunned. “If you know that she’s back, why didn’t you go see her?”
Grand Old Master Ares said, “She’s been back for so long but has never taken the initiative to visit me. Perhaps in her heart, I’m merely a person of her past. So why should I bother her?”
Jay heaved a weak sigh.
Grandpa and Grandma’s love was something he could never understand.
In Jay’s point of view, as long as he was still alive, he would never let go of his beloved woman. He would be entangled with her until the day they died.
Grand Old Master Ares said, “Alright, leave my matters alone now. Let’s talk about what’s happening right now. Why did snakes suddenly appear in Tourmaline Estate?”
Jay shifted his gaze toward Jenson, and Jenson’s handsome face was highly stern and solemn when he said, “I’m afraid the battle to the death between the two factions of witch doctors in Mount Pearl has been brought to the Ares family’s Tourmaline Estate.”
As soon as he said this, a sense of panic filled the air.
Jenson continued, “I found out that the second branch’s Madam Nephele is well versed in the art of healing and can command snakes. Her surname is Davis too. Robbie and I have fought against her before, and if it weren’t for the family seal, I’m afraid we would’ve been powerless against her. After we wounded her, she ran away while getting treatment in Grand Asia Hospital.
“I can confirm that she’s a descendant of the Davis clan.”
Grand Old Master Ares was utterly worried while wondering aloud, “How could this happen?”
Jay said guiltily, “I suppose I triggered this matter.”
“What does this have to do with you, Jay?”
Jay said, “When Angeline was suffering from severe depression, I brought her over to Cloud City so she could relax. That’s where we met Grandma Boye. We got along well, and Angeline put her guard down, revealing our identities to Grandma Boye. Later, I was poisoned by Judy’s Love Potion, and Angeline personally invited Grandma Boye back here from Cloud City. I think since the day Grandma Boye returned to the Ares household, it became a ticking time bomb to the current calamity we’re facing.”
“Alright.”
Coming out of Château de Selene, Jenson began to think about who he should send to Cloud City to pick up Grandma Boye.
Baby Robbie thought that his beloved sister must be missing her Brother Finn very much at the moment, so he said without hesitation, “What’s so difficult about that? Just send Brother Finn over.”
Jenson said, “I think you know very well why Great-grandma has been living in hiding for so many years, right?”
Baby Robbie’s smile slowly dissipated. “I understand. Are you worried that Brother Finn’s journey to pick up Great-grandma Boye will not be as smooth as we think?”
Jenson nodded, saying, “Daddy and I made a mistake. We thought that the most dangerous place in the world is our Tourmaline Estate. But the truth is that the most dangerous place to be right now is wherever Boye is.”
Baby Robbie said, “Doesn’t that imply it’s dangerous for Zetty to be with Great-grandma Boye right now?”
Jens said, “Therefore, shouldn’t we be sending our strongest team to welcome Boye back?”
