Jay looked at the slightly old wooden box, his gaze falling on the delicate combination lock. The combination lock adopted the strongest encryption technology from 30 years ago, so there was probably a shocking secret hidden within it.
"Open it.”
Finn easily deciphered the combination lock and opened the wooden box without damaging it.
Placed within it was a golden baby lock with the three characters 'riches’, 'honor', and 'peace' engraved on it. There was also a line of small characters engraved on the back of the lock, a date that wrote: September 9th, * * year.
Engraved in front was a location and name: Imperial Capital, Grace Bell. There were two other lines of small characters written in vertical: Father, Stanley Bell. Mother, Andrea Christopher.
A trace of surprise emanated from Finn's eyes!
"Tell me, what's the secret hidden inside?" Jay asked, looking at Finn who seemed to be lost in thoughts.
Finn handed the golden lock to Jay carefully and exclaimed, "President Ares, so it's true that the Severe family's second missus isn’t really Anne and George's biological daughter."
When Jay caught sight of the child’s lock, a trace of a sneer emerged in his eyes. "And here I was wondering why my foster mother loves Sera so much. Turns out that she’s her biological daughter. If my foster father learns that my foster mother shares an unbelievable cliche scandal with Stanley, he probably won't tolerate her for another second. After all, how can an egotistical person like my foster father allow his wife t o betray him with his best friend?"
A gleeful sneer emanated from Finn's eyes. "Now that we hold this secret, President Ares, we can bring ruin upon Jack and Stanley and discredit them at any time. They were acting all haughty and have been making things difficult for Grand Asia lately, haven’t they? Should we throw in a reminder so that they’ll show us more respect?"
Jay said, "This secret is the best weapon to handicap Jack and Stanley. Give this secret to Angeline as a gift so they won’t have the nerve to bully her as they like anymore."
Finn let out a gentle smile. "You always consider the missus in everything you do, President Ares. She's truly blessed."
Jay corrected him, "You're wrong. I’m blessed to have her love me for two lifetimes."
Finn was slightly startled. Although he did not participate in this affair and was merely an outsider, h e could not help but think how sweet President Ares and Miss Severe’s love was even though it was a
miserable and tough one.
Jay stared at the wooden box in a daze and suddenly thought of something. A dark and obscure spark filled his eyes.
