Chapter 218
To help Zayne Severe, Rose Loyle was willing to cut off her ties with Jay Ares.
"Rose, you have to think this through. If you leave the Ares house, you'll never be able to see your son again." Jay threatened her.
Rose tried her hardest to stop her tears from overflowing. She felt very conflicted.
She felt sorry for her brother and grandfather. At that moment, Rose could only think about repenting for the hurt that she had brought upon the Severe family.
She said pitifully, "Is this not what you want?"
Jay, who had initially come here in high spirits just to join the ruckus, became enraged upon hearing her words. He said angrily, "You're willing to abandon your son for this useless job? Is that it?"
Rose looked at him, her tears now streaming down her face. "If I wanted my son, would you give him to me? If I fought with you, wouldn't it still be pointless? I might as well just give up now and do something useful."
Her troubled expression made Jay swallow all his bitterness.
He understood her pain. She blamed herself for the Severe family's downfall.
She wanted to help the Severe family.
However, Zayne did not show mercy for Rose's plight. Francis was even adding fuel to fire. "Hear that, Rose? You've been fired by President Severe. As for your two-year salary, according to the laws of the contract, we can only pay you three months' worth of salary. Please return the balance to us as soon as you can."
Jay said stiffly, "Don't worry, I'll pay you back by tenfold."
Francis smiled happily and said, "Sir Ares, never mind by a tenfold. Even if it's by a hundred or a thousand times more, we'll still be laughing."
He was slandering Jay, implying that there was no way that they would pass up on such easy money.
Jay reached out his hand toward Rose. "Come with me.'
"
Rose glared at him furiously, a look of resentment flashing across her red eyes.
At that moment, she hated him.
However, she hated herself more.
If she was not so obsessed with him, she would never have gone to look for him in Imperial Capital, and that accident would never have happened.
If she had not died, her grandfather would still be healthy and the Severe family would not be in such a sorry state.
Zayne would not be having such a hard time starting a
business.
Jay stared at Rose. It was rare to see her look so childish. In the past, no matter how much he bullied her, she had never shown such a resentful expression. However, today, he had crossed a line.
Due to his appearance, Zayne, that single-celled organism, wanted to dismiss her, and that made her upset.
"You want to stay that badly?" Jay asked Rose glumly.
Jay, who had never backed down for anyone, felt his heart melt when he looked at her tearful expression. Suddenly, he was willing to give up on his ego just to fulfill her wishes. Rose nodded.
Jay lowered his mannerism and spoke to Zayne politely, "Keep her, you won't regret it."
Zayne gritted his teeth and snapped at Jay. "I don't need her!"
Jay closed his eyes. These siblings were so hard to please.
"What if I acquire Eminent Honor tomorrow and make you the president?" It was too obvious that Jay was trying to bribe Zayne.
This made Zayne explode with rage. "I'd rather Eminent Honor go bankrupt than agree to let it be acquired by you."
