Chapter 173
Jay expressed his opinion on the matter on behalf of the Ares family. "I’ll investigate this matter, Mr. Bell. I promise to give you an explanation."
He looked askance at Rose and gnashed his teeth. "I'll deal with Rose too."
The head of the Bell family said, "Please do, Master Ares! Just give her a small punishment as a warning will do. I don't want anyone killed." He was gone as soon as his voice fell.
Petrified, Rose yelled at the Bell family who was leaving, "Old Master Bell, I'm willing to accept any punishment from you." 'I'll go down on my knees. I beg you, please don't leave me to Jay, this demon king!'
Jay gazed at Rose and said eerily, "Come with me."
Rose hugged the European-styled wooden pillar next t o her firmly as though she was trying to mould herself on it and be a part of it.
After taking a few steps, Jay turned around to find Rose still standing on the same spot. Frost enshrouded his eyes at once.
"Rose?" His voice carried the high pressure of a volcanic eruption.
Rose glanced at Jay pitifully. "Sir Ares, this has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to trouble
yourself with this. I'll go to Bell's residence to ask for forgiveness and accept my punishment."
If she fell into Jay’s hands, she would not escape unscathed even if she survived.
Jay stood rooted to the same spot. He crossed his arms and stared at Rose with a smug look on his face." Weren't you really arrogant when you were beating Sean up just now?"
Rose was about to burst into tears. "Sir Ares, I was wrong. If I had known that this would cause you trouble, I wouldn't have the guts to bash him up, okay?"
Rose was actually afraid of Jay. In her past life, she both loved and feared him. When he was in a good temper, she could act like a pet cat and lie on his body acting like a spoiled child. When he lost his temper, the whole world would fall apart in an instant and he could turn his back on just about anyone.
"Guys, saw the pillar," Jay said with a solemn look on his face.
Not long after that, two workers sauntered over with saws in their hands.
Rose stared at the magnificent-looking European-styled pillar. She would be committing a sin if it was sawed off because of her.
Therefore, in order to protect this costly European-styled pillar, Rose separated herself from it as slowly a s she could and followed Jay to another luxurious room dejectedly. Jay slumped on a chair leisurely and gazed at Rose.
Rose did not know where to look as she stood in front of him obediently like a prisoner being interrogated.
"Why were you in Sean's room?" Jay’s voice came like a devil's voice in a chilly wind, causing anyone to tremble with fear.
"Someone invited me over," Rose answered his question with fear and trepidation.
"Who?" C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
"I don't know that person."
"Did you not know how to refuse when a stranger invited you over?"
Jay opened up a cigarette pack and lit a cigarette for himself. After taking a puff, he spat out circles of white smoke, saying, "You know what, Rose? I think m y IQ drops whenever I talk to you."
He struck Rose with a cruel blow that left her feeling despondent. With nothing more to lose, she protested i n a whisper, "Sir Ares, I didn't even beg you to speak to me. You’re the one who insists on interrogating me. Why don't you hand me over to the Bell family lest you become mentally retarded?"
Jay might be mean, but Rose could sometimes spit spiteful words out of her mouth as well and was nowhere inferior to Jay when it came to verbal retaliation.
Jay's complexion turned dark at once. His voice dropped a few decibels. "Rose, do you remember what the person who invited you over looked like?"
"It was a woman. She was very tall, very sexy..."
"Get straight to the point." Jay was in a towering rage.
Rose sounded aggrieved. "I’m talking about the main point!"
"Her face!" Jay reminded her weakly.
Rose said, "Her facial features looked very abstract. It was like she had been run over twice by a car tire."
Jay stifled the anger in his heart. "Describe the details."
