His mind recalled that fateful thunderstorm five years ago. Josephine had looked disheveled and pathetic. She was covered in blood...
Soon, Jay received a call from Grayson to report on Josephine's movements.
"President, after Ms. Ares left Grand Asia, she went to the real estate office opposite Grand Asia to look at some property. Subsequently, she visited a few malls and bought many children's items. Now, Ms. Ares is heading in the direction of Exuberant City.’
"Exuberant City?"
Jay frowned. Exuberant City was a middle-class apartment. However, Jay had heard about it because it was located in one of the expensive real estates within City South, and it was near Horizon Colors as well.
'Why is Josephine heading to Exuberant City?'
"Alright, noted." Jay hung up the call, raised his wrist, and took a look at his watch. He switched off his computer and left the office.
'Exuberant City is just a stone's throw away from Grand Asia. Let me personally find out what tricks are up Josephine's sleeves.'
On the ground floor of Exuberant City.
Josephine happily drove her car that was filled with children’s items into the entrance of Exuberant City and headed for the underground car park.
However, Jay’s slender and tall figure suddenly appeared within her visual field. She immediately floored the brakes in shock.
Josephine lowered the car window and frightenedly looked at Jay. "Big Brother, why are you here?"
Jay's sharp gaze landed on the colorful pile of things a t the back seat.
"What are these?"
Josephine had always feared Jay.
Many years ago, their parents had relegated the responsibility of disciplining the rebellious Josephine to Jay.
At first, she was rejoicing that her parents had given u p on controlling her. Unfortunately, Jay used the same ruthless ways he used in his business on her. She was soon trained into an obedient child.
He had sent her overseas because of her crush on Zayne Severe. Not only that, but Jay even threatened Zayne that if he dared to get in touch with Josephine, he would only have two options-marry Josephine or wait for his family to go bankrupt.
Since then, Zayne saw Josephine as his number one enemy and blacklisted her contact, avoiding her as much as he could.
As time went, Zayne seemed to have disappeared from her world, leaving her with unrequited feelings.
Josephine then transformed from a young lady who lived and breathed love into a headstrong woman.
"Big Brother, can't you see? These are children's items." Josephine acted like she was doing nothing wrong as she tried to brush him off.
Jay's expression turned icy. "Who are they for?"
Josephine noticed the cold and strict expression on Jay's face. She suddenly realized why he was anxiously angry.
Tears covered Josephine’s eyes. When she spoke, her voice was low. "Big Brother, you can't be thinking that I'm keeping that child from five years ago, can you? Don’t worry, I’ve aborted it.”
Jay’s expression remained icy. "So who did you buy these for?"
"Of course they are for my Jenson.” Josephine quickly resealed that painful memory and resumed her frivolous behavior. "Big Brother, I used the money you gave me to buy some clothes and items for Jenson. You can't blame me for this, can you?"
"Josephine, you're buying girl's clothes and toys for Jenson as well?" Jay was fuming from Josephine's uncooperative behavior.
