Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 1285

The Corvettes searched all night, but the assassin was nowhere to be found. They had seemingly evaporated into thin air.

The next day, Spencer came to 48 Stronghold.

He summoned Cole into a secret room and asked with a solemn expression, "Cole, the assassin last night was able to get through the various barriers we've set up in Mount Pearl. He's clearly a well-trained martial artist. I've been thinking about it. The assassin appeared immediately after Angeline did. Could they be working together from the inside out?"

Cole remained silent...

Spencer looked puzzled. "Angeline is nothing but a strong businesswoman in Imperial Capital, but her bodyguard was capable of catching my darts. I don’t understand. Why does she have such an extraordinary man by her side?"

Cole was still silent...

When Spencer saw how Cole did not utter a word, the doubt in his eyes started overflowing. "Are you keeping something from me, Cole?"

There was a hint of weariness in Cole's voice. "I've said what needs to be said."

Spencer stared at Cole with displeasure. "What do you mean by you've said what needs to be said? You spent half a year in Imperial Capital, and when you came home, you only said three things. You told me you destroyed the Ares family as well as Tourmaline Estate and your unforgettable bone-etching love story. Tell me, how did you meet Angeline?"

Cole was extremely speechless by his father's gossipy behavior. "Why didn't you ask me how I destroyed the Ares family?"

Spencer gulped. "I trust your ability to complete your task."

An obscure look flashed across Cole's eyes. It was precisely because his father and grandfather did not question much about it that he felt guiltier.

He had destroyed the Ares family and Tourmaline Estate, but he had also destroyed Jay.

Fortunately, Grandpa and Dad had not asked anything about the Ares family's affairs for the past few years.

Spencer narrowed his eyes and stared straight at Cole. Cole looked like he was struggling and somewhat in pain, which caused Spencer to frown.

"Don't tell me that Angelina has relations with the Ares family?" Spencer finally realized that something was wrong from the look on his son's face.

Cole lifted his severed pinkie and said, "The Ares family’s daughter-in-law was supposed to be killed, but I spared her in exchange for my pinkie."

Spencer's complexion darkened. His dark pupils overflowed with a touch of coldness.

"Why are you so muddle-headed, Cole? Do you know that if you don’t tackle the root of a problem and solve the problem completely, the problem will resurface?"
