Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 193

Jay became attentive, staring at Madam Loyle with keen eagle eyes. "Which part in particular was strange?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Madam Loyle recalled the scene of the accident seven years ago very seriously. She was looking more and more uneasy.

"I have no idea how Angeline and Rose ended up together in that car accident. The two lay on the grass together. Angeline died tragically, whereas Rose was shielded in Angeline's arms. Although her body wasn't dismembered or mutilated nor looked as gruesome as Angeline's, she was no longer breathing after the fall.

"When we rushed to the scene of the car accident, even the doctor had pronounced Rose dead. Who would've thought that after she was placed in the morgue for a day and night, she suddenly came back t o life?! We were so terrified because we thought that w e had seen a ghost!

Old Master Loyle continued, "Now that you mentioned it, after that car accident, Rose seemed to have changed for some strange reasons. She no longer asked the Loyles for money and even moved out to live alone, turning us into complete strangers."

Jay's slender fingers were digging into the chair's armrest and turning white from the force.

His countenance might seem calm as usual, but he was having heart palpitations at the moment. He was feeling like he was choking even when he breathed.

"After the car accident, what other unusual behaviors did Rose display?" He suppressed the roaring emotions in his heart and asked as calmly as he could.

Old Master Loyle looked embarrassed. "She has been living alone outside all these years and barely contacts us. That's everything I know."

At this time, in order to please Jay, Sydney racked her brain to reveal information about her and Rose’s encounters.

"Rose has changed a lot. Whenever she saw me back then, she would always drop her head obsequiously. Now, she's all high and lofty in front of me.

"Also, she went abroad to seek fortune for several years. Her character has changed drastically. She's all elegant and noble now. She's no longer the country bumpkin we knew. She has become beautiful and proud. It’s as though she has turned into a completely different person."

Jay listened to Sydney quietly as she summarized this conversation. He replayed the shocking similarities between Rose and Angeline in his mind over and over again.

Was this a coincidence?

Angeline was gone but had turned Rose into a girl who was as brilliant and extraordinary as her?

When they walked out of Loyle's residence, Grayson opened the car door for Jay. Jay seemed to be lost in his thoughts as he continued to frown and ponder even after he had climbed into the back seat.

Grayson stepped on the accelerator. When the car started moving, Jay suddenly ordered, "Go back to Horizon Villa."

"Okay."

On the way, Grayson took several peeks at Mr. Ares through the rearview mirror.

When he noticed the perplexed look on Mr. Ares’ face, Grayson took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere.

"Mr. Ares, the Loyle family said that Rose seemed to have turned into a completely different person after the car accident. This reminded me of an interesting web article I read some time ago because I was bored... Would you like to hear about it, Mr. Ares?"

Jay raised his head. He had tried very hard to mull over the reason for the startling changes in Rose, yet even though he was wise and sagacious, his wisdom simply could not offer him a perfect explanation.

Therefore, he stopped thinking and listened to Grayson's story instead.

"Let’s hear it."

Grayson said, "It was about the transmigration of a person's soul..."

Jay cut him off with a frown. "What's transmigration?"

Mr. Ares had never read online articles, hence he did not have a clue about these popular online terminologies.

Grayson said proudly, "Transmigration refers to a person's soul entering another person’s body whose original soul has departed. They take over the previous soul's consciousness and thoughts as they continue to live on."

Jay snorted. "Ridiculous!"

Grayson breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mr. Ares finally showing a trace of anger.

When Jay uttered the word 'ridiculous', there was a smidge of uncertainty in his tone.

If his emotions could be described as fluctuating greatly when he heard the Loyle family members giving an account of Rose's complete transformation after the car accident...
