"Xavier Ares!”
Jay asked casually, "Who is he?"
Furious, John scolded, "You have no heart! How many brothers and sisters in the Ares family can you actually name?"
He replied coldly, "Can you not leave me hanging like this?"
John then said, "He's the son of your third uncle's second wife. He had polio when he was a kid, has a bad leg, and was mentally challenged since birth. As for yesterday’s fire, every normal person would have escaped immediately. It was only that poor cripple who died in the flames."
After hearing this piece of news, Jay sank into deep thought. "Mm, he'll make a good chess piece."
"Chess piece?"
"Regarding his death, someone will seek justice for him. If it was an outsider, then the Ares family will have to pay a fortune in compensation. However, since he's a member of the Ares family, there'll be a specific way to go about that compensation."
John was confused by what Jay just said.
Looking heartbroken, Jay continued, "These interloping women would actually use an innocent
child just to get affiliated. This is preposterous.”
John looked at Jay's dark expression, shuddering before his aura of fury.
He pushed a dumbfounded John aside and walked toward Rose.
John snapped to his senses and smacked his forehead. "I thought it was a simple case of arson, but now you see this as a conspiracy.”
Donned in a snow-white dress, Rose sat in the corner quietly. Her aura stood out like a flower in an empty chasm.
She was still observing and listening to everything around her, sweeping and scanning the guests who were walking back and forth.
Sydney Doyle just entered the clubhouse with a beautifully wrapped gift box in her hand. She saw Rose from the corner of her eye and walked toward her.
