novelxo Chapter 217
Zayne Severe and Francis Greene let down their guards.
Even if it was Jay Ares, he was just Rose Foyle's ex-husband. It was all in Rose' past. At least it would prove that Rose and Sir Ares' relationship was fractured.
However, this idea was quickly overturned.
When the three of them walked out after their meal, they saw Jay's Rolls-Royce parked by the road outside the hotel. Jay opened the car door and stepped out, walking toward them loftily.
Zayne clenched his fists. The blood strands in his eyes seemed to be dyed red, shining with a demonic glint.
"Jay Ares." He gritted his teeth.
Jay walked over, his cold gaze meeting Zayne's vicious one. He drawled, "It has been a while, Zayne Ares." 1
After greeting Zayne, Jay turned to Rose and said, "I'm here to bring you home."
Rose was flattered. "I can go home myself."
Zayne suddenly lost his mind. He threw the drink in his hand onto the ground and roared at Rose. "Didn't you say that he's your ex-husband? Why are you still living together? I understand, you're a spy sent to Eminent Honor by Jay Ares, right? No wonder you rejected the raise."
Rose did not think that Jay and Zayne's relationship had deteriorated so much.
Rose explained. "President Severe, you're mistaken. We're not in a relationship. I'm living in the Ares house because my son is there. I'm just a nanny at their house."
Zayne restrained himself slightly. "Is that true?"
Just as Rose was about to answer, Jay interrupted her and announced strongly, "You're not a nanny." 1
As Jay and Rose were saying different things, Zayne lost his trust in Rose. "You don't have to show up at work at Eminent Honor ever again."
Jay watched the conflict between Zayne and Rose calmly, his fox-like eyes glinting with a hint of glee.
He watched Rose quietly, anticipating her reaction.
How could Rose be willing to leave Zayne?
That was an affiliate business of the Severe family.
She had already guessed that the Severe family business was facing a financial crisis. That was why Zayne would start another company.
No matter what, she had to help her brother's business succeed.
"President Severe, I forgot to tell you that I've already deciphered the identity of the hacker that infiltrated
Eminent Honor. The opponent is very skilled. I hope I can stay so that we can face this future risk together," Rose said earnestly.
Zayne was still angry and he fumed. "Go, there's no need for you. I don't believe that we at Eminent Honor can't deal with this risk on our own."
"President Severe." Rose suddenly reached out and grabbed Zayne's hand.
Jay watched Rose's natural movements, a knowing look flashing across his gaze.
It seemed like he made a good choice rushing here. Otherwise, he would have missed a good show.
"I've signed a two-year contract. I still owe you money. If you fire me, it'll be a huge loss," Rose said.
Zayne shook his hand free of her grip and roared angrily, "Get lost. Do you know that this guy caused my sister's death? I will never forgive him! Since your relationship with him is not clear, we shouldn't interact. I don't want to accidentally hurt you."
Rose felt as if her heart had been stabbed, and her eyes started welling up with tears.
Her brother was in pain because of her.
She suddenly made up her mind, and said with determination, "President Severe, I truly do not have any kind of relationship with him. If you don't believe it, I can move out of the Ares family home. I can live in a company building."
Jay frowned. He had predicted the beginning, but he did not predict the end.
