Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 249

Jay Ares came and left like a cyclone, leaving traces of shame and embarrassment in his wake. Throwing Bell Enterprises into new heights of frantic frenzy.

As per the given orders, Grayson stayed behind to investigate the cause of Rose’s injuries, the youth a physical embodiment of Grand Asia’s hegemonic spirit.

"Chairman Bell, my President would like to enquire the identity of the persons behind Rose Boyle’s injuries —" Grayson supplemented, in case he was not clear enough, "That is to say, all the persons involved in either directly or indirectly causing Rose Loyle harm. I would greatly appreciate it if Mr. Chairman could be s o kind to give their names, as per my President’s orders." 1

Chairman Bell was at a loss. Just because Jay Ares was an invincible businessman, it did not mean he would fear Jay’s closer subordinates.

"Grand Asia and Bell Enterprises have always been close friends, Grayson. I'm pretty sure Master Ares told you to find the culprit because he was clouded momentarily with rage, so how about I find you a scapegoat to hand over? You might as well take everyone from Bell Enterprises if you're going to investigate it like that."

Grayson replied with an elegant smile, "What are you

saying, Mr. Chairman? I'm simply doing my job.”

Chairman Bell glared. "Master Ares trusts you the most, does he not? As long as you promise not to give u p Nancy's name, I'll pay you any sum you request. Within a reasonable range, of course.”

Tilting his head downwards, Grayson chuckled.

For a smile so warm and gentle, it ran shivers up people's spines.

"Bribing me, are you, Chairman Bell?" Grayson lifted his gaze to beam at Chairman Bell.

The Chairman squinted slightly. For a reason unbeknownst to him, this young man was hardly an open book to read, despite his glowing smile and an attitude of dispatch to worldly matters. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

The youth’s complexity and shrewdness making him difficult to predict and understand.

"What? Is it not enough?" He asked, in an attempt to close the gap between them.

Grayson's gaze fell and lingered on Nancy Bell like the setting sun as he spoke casually, "The fact that Miss Bell was the one who harmed Rose Boyle is a judgment the President himself concluded after investigating. There's not much I can do to help her."

Nancy's face paled in fear as she shakily crawled her way to Chairman Bell, wailing, "Save me, Daddy!”

Chairman Bell spoke, "Despite knowing early on about Nancy tricking Rose Boyle, Master Ares had yet to retaliate on Nancy, perhaps because he still cared for her. Live and let live, Grayson-"

Grayson shook his head. “I'm afraid that is not the case. Rather than my President still caring for Miss Nancy, I'm more inclined to believe that the reason behind the lack of retaliation was that he was still thinking of the best way to take revenge. Today's incident had only added to the existing hatred. I wish you the best, Miss Nancy."

At that, the expressions of both father and daughter Bell soured.

"What do you want, Grayson?" Knowing he could not b e bribed, the Chairman had no other option but to face reality.

"Rose Loyle was gravely injured, with half a breath left, in your very office, Mr. Chairman. As to the person who actually did the hitting, the hand used is as good a s broken. However, as there is no

reason for bodyguards to cause harm without an order, I can promise you that the President will not simply forgive the person behind all this."

Despite the sweat beads that formed on Chairman Bell's forehead, he still sounded relaxed when he spoke next. "His father and I are friends. Does he have to be so serious about this?"

Grayson replied, "As the President likes to say, there are no eternal allies or perpetual enemies in business.”

Grayson continued, "I believe it is in your best interest to cooperate with me, Mr. Chairman, and answer the questions I have, for it may be your only chance at making out of this unscathed."

Chairman bell nodded dejectedly. "Ask away, then."

At the same time, Jay Ares had run the whole way to Grand Asia’s Medical Department with Rose Doyle in his arms. 1

Quickly, Rose was pushed into the Intensive Care Unit leaving Jay Ares to sit alone in the empty corridor outside. Blood drained from his face, the veins on the back of his hand spoke clearly of his anxiety and anger at that moment.

His world seemed to have turned into a dull shade of grey as he waited for the doctors’ analysis of her condition.

"Please be okay, Angelina." He prayed, i

"You have to be okay."

"You promised you'd marry me. Don’t go back on your words." 1

Jay Ares had never feared anything, not before this moment right now.

Now that he had finally found Angelina Severe, he was afraid he would lose her again.
