Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 237

After ending Jay's call, Sean pressed his hand against his forehead.

Nancy casually stepped into the office on her high heels. Sean lifted his head lazily and looked at his sister from another mother.

"I've heard that share prices have reached the limit down?" Nancy crossed her arms in front of her as she arrived in front of Sean's office table.

Sean straightened his back and nodded at her.

The corners of Nancy's lips curled upward mockingly. "That's a bold first move for our new company president, my elder brother."

Sean glared at Nancy coldly. "I've heard that you have been pestering Mr. Ares incessantly over the past few years?"

Nancy's overbearing expression took a sinister turn. ' That's none of your business," she huffed.

Sean smiled when he saw that she was angry. "Don't you know? Mr. Ares bought Cloudy Dreams from me earlier. Do you know the reason behind that?"

Nancy was surprised. "Why did Mr. Ares buy Cloudy Dreams? Isn't it just a normal four-room house? Isn't any of Mr. Ares's properties in his portfolio worth more?"

Sean felt like a lion toying with its prey. He slowly asked Nancy, "Do you know who's living in Cloudy Dreams now?"

Nancy furrowed her brows and her pupils shrunk. She felt as though she was walking into a trap.

"Who?" She asked angrily.

"Rose Doyle," Sean gently exhaled while appreciating Nancy's exasperation.

Nancy's body trembled, and her face turned pale as though she had suffered an electric shock. "That's impossible. Doesn't he hate her a lot?" She mumbled.

"A human's temperament is the most unreliable thing i n this world. Who can promise that one would love another for the rest of their life? Our father is the best example of that."

Nancy glared at him. "Are you still resentful that our father abandoned your mother to marry my mother?"

The past trauma flared in Sean's eyes like a phantom, but he smiled gently to hide his pain. He shrugged, pretending to be impassive. "I've already let it go. Otherwise, I wouldn't have returned to pick up the reins of Bell Enterprise."

Nancy evidently did not believe it. "That would be the best, Brother. You ought to hide your schemes well if you have any. It will be very unfortunate if I catch you doing anything silly."

Sean gestured toward the door. "You may leave now," h e said with a smile.

Nancy grunted coldly and left the scene.

As Sean watched Nancy's back, his gaze gradually turned cold.

Meanwhile, Rose returned from the department store. Her legs and back hurt when she finally settled on a new bed frame and mattress.

She thought that she could finally lie down and have a good rest. However, when she opened the door and saw that familiar tall and well-built figure inside the house, she suffered a huge shock and nearly fell sitting on the floor.

"Why are you here, Sir Ares?" Rose exclaimed.

The children were still in kindergarten. There was no reason for him to appear in Cloudy Dreams!

Jay raised an eyebrow. "I'm here to look at my new house. Is there a problem?"

Buying the house was a wise decision. Otherwise, he would not have a valid excuse to be there.

Rose changed into her slippers and slowly walked in." What do you mean?" She was confused. 1

Jay finally turned his head to look at her. "Did I not make myself clear, or are you lacking in comprehension?" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Rose bit her lip. "How did this house become yours?" 'Is that what he meant?'

A hint of a smile appeared in Jay's eyes. "Because I bought it," he said casually.

Rose's eyes widened. When she rented the house, it belonged to Sean, but how did it become Jay's?

"So, from today on, I'm your landlord," Jay said mischievously.
