Rose said hurriedly, "I don’t mind being humiliated, just give me money and shame me! The more the better!"
Jay burst out laughing. "Little miser."
He removed a credit card from his suit pocket and handed it to Rose. "Take this!"
"Sir Ares, does this even have money in it?" She thought that cash was more substantial.
Jay’s face darkened. All of his liquidated assets were i n there and here she was, suspecting that it was empty.
"Go find out yourself," he said coldly.
Then, Rose happily put it away.
Glancing over to her, he asked, "When I gave you money back then, why’d you refuse?"
She replied proudly, "That was different. Back then, you wanted me to trade my kids, so of course I wouldn't do that. Today, I'm selling off my calligraphy. Moreover, that calligraphy is worthless, so why won't I sell it?”
Smiling, he said, "Not bad. At least clean money is important to you." "Of course."
Suddenly, a shriek of horror came echoing from outside the doors!
"My son died a horrible death, Old Master Ares. You have to do me justice!"
They heard that person's voice before they could see who they were.
Old Master Ares already had a frown across his face.
"Grandpa, it must be the family of the victim who was caught in the fire. They're seeking for justice," said Jay calmly.
As he said that, they saw a woman clad in a black dress and had a black veil across her face with a white flower on her head intrude the scene. She threw herself down before Old Master Ares' feet.
Jay and Rose could only step aside to make room for her.
The woman wailed woefully, "Old Master Ares, my Little Xavier was a poor little kid. He was shunned by others since he was little, so I didn’t place much hope i n him. All I wanted was for him to live his life in peace. Who knew that he’d be destroyed by the fire? Why is my Xavier's life so bitter?”
Rose's eyes turned red.
She could understand this young mother’s pain of losing her child. Back then when she missed Jens while she was away from home, it was torture. This mother, however, was faced with the pain of losing her beloved child forever.
