Chapter 248
The Chairman felt a little more at ease. "You're right. Master Ares is a businessman who cares deeply about profiting, it is unlikely that he will make an enemy out of Bell Enterprises for a woman." 1 Turning to look at Rose Boyle, he frowned at the unmoving body on the floor. "Women. What low endurance for pain. Throw her out."
The Chairman's bodyguards were walking toward Rose's body when suddenly, the doors to the Chairman's office were violently kicked open.
It was a loud sound that attracted everybody's attention, causing heads to turn in shock.
At the door were two men in black outfits with sunglasses on. Promising men, standing straight by the door frames.
Following behind was another figure with his head held high, stepping into the room with an air of prestige and well-wielded authority. 1
Seeing his face, the Chairman quickly stood with a beam.
Nancy Bell's delicate features bloomed into a charming smile as well, her eyes shining with hardly-concealed mirth. Perhaps Jay Ares' grand visit to Bell Enterprises was for her.
Nancy approached him attentively. "Why did you come, Master Ares?"
Jay Ares sent her a contemptuous glare as they brushed shoulders, one filled with so much killing intent and anger that Nancy's heart dropped instinctively in fear.
Bending over, a bodyguard was about to drag Rose Boyle out, only to receive a hard kick on his body from Jay Ares. Like autumn leaves, he flailed around for a moment before flopping-right before Chairman Bell's feet.
Ribs fractured, he laid limp on the floor. 1
"Master Ares, what-" Chairman Bell stared confusedly at Jay Ares. His heart was beating uncontrollably in fear that moment, for he had a glimpse of the reason Jay Ares was here for.
Jay Ares paid him no mind.
Instead, he lowered himself down and yelled distressed, "Rose!"
Reaching a hand to Rose Loyle's nose, he found that though she was still alive, her breaths were shallow. Carefully carrying Rose into his arms, his sharp eyes burned red with bloodthirst and rage. "Grayson. Find out who did this to Rose Loyle. I need every single detail, every hit, every injury accounted for. No one will find their body after I kill them."
Flabbergasted, Nancy fell to the floor.
Befalling a sinister gaze on her, Jay Ares turned to glare menacingly at Chairman Bell. "I suggest you teach your daughter some manners, Mr. Bell. Aren't you curious about why she sent Rose to Sean's room the other day? I wonder why she did it."
At that, Jay picked up his pace and quickly carried Rose away.
Grayson stayed, as per orders, though still in a daze.
So this was the reason behind his President's operation today? A knight in armor saving the damsel in distress?
Specifically, the woman he used to hate the most?
Jay Ares' words had left Nancy in quite the stupor, for she sat quite a while on the floor, too weak to stand.
Jay Ares had given Nancy a warning before he left, a small punishment to deter her from further aggression toward Rose. Now that her father knew of her conspiracy against Rose and Sean, he would surely be enraged.
"Nancy, how-how could you plot against your brother?" The Chairman trembled with wrath, "Not to mention how you've caused me such a mess today! You absolute-calamity!"
Having been spoiled rotten since young, Nancy burst into tears at this feeling of wrongness she had never felt before. "I've never intended to hurt Sean, Daddy! I—I just, Rose Doyle destroyed my chances with Master
Ares. I just wanted revenge!"
