Marilyn answered timidly, "Didn't I already tell you?""What about his injury? How are you going to explain that?""He accidentally fell, but it's just a small wound. It’s nothing major at all."Jay fumed. "He has a dysfunctioning blood coagulation system. Minor injuries can be fatal, don't you know that?"Marilyn replied, "I know now."Feeling helpless, Jay shook his head continuously. "You ignorant woman."He then flicked his sleeve and left.Marilyn squatted on the ground awkwardly. At this moment, all her disguise was torn off and the panic in her eyes was out in full view.She had not wanted to take Tiger out of the hospital in the middle of the night either.However, that b*stard Ken received news from somewhere and heard that Tiger was ill. He gave her a call to tell her that he was coming for a visit.How could she possibly allow Ken to show up in the hospital? If that happened, their affair would no doubt be exposed. She was driven into a corner and had no choice but
On the eighth day.Jay finally came to work.As soon as he entered the Grand Asia’s lobby on the ground floor, he ran into Angeline and Seth arguing."Ms. Severe, why did you allocate much less money to Grand Asia Titus Enterprise Department this month?" Seth was filled with righteous indignation when he questioned Angeline.With a stern look on her face, Angeline uttered coldly, "Because your department didn’t achieve the target goal. The bonus deducted from your department will be transferred to other departments that have exceeded their goals."Seth refused to take this lying down. "Ms. Severe, you’ve been trying to reduce Titus Enterprise’s scale for the past three years, and we know that. You just want Titus Enterprise to vanish completely, don’t you?”Angeline was at the end of her patience. "Your Titus Enterprise? Hehe, Seth, let me jog your memory for a bit. Titus Enterprise has already changed its name to Grand Asia three years ago. It’s now called Grand Asia Titus Enter
“Business is like a battlefield. Do you think you can solve problems with only your mouth?" Jay asked.Angeline stared at him in a daze. "Do you have any good ideas then?"Jay asked, "Did you turn many acquired companies out there like Titus Enterprise into departments in Grand Asia?"Angeline nodded. "50 percent."Jay mused. "Your current state of coexistence with these companies will not last very long. If they turn their coat collectively one day, coupled with the fact that they were once Grand Asia employees who are very familiar with Grand Asia's operations and technology, I’m afraid not even a lovesick woman like you can save such a huge company.”Angeline vowed, saying, "Don’t you worry. I won’t let Grand Asia fall as long as I live.”Jay's eyes turned cold abruptly. This woman was hopelessly in love with the founder of Grand Asia.Of course, it was necessary for Angeline to take Jay’s advice. She mulled it over on the spot and said, "I have to find a way to eliminate the
After Tiger was discharged from the hospital, Grayson immediately gathered the company's VIPs to visit Tiger at Lumino Garden.Angeline, however, chickened out at the last minute.At the thought of Jay’s indifference and aloofness toward her, she lost the courage to approach him and was afraid that she would only be jumping into a fire.Before he left, Grayson asked Angeline over and over again, "Are you really not going to go, Ms. Severe?"Angeline replied firmly, "No."When Grayson left, Angeline felt a deep sense of loss.Seeing that Angeline was in a bad mood, Grayson let out a heavy sigh and comforted her. "You’re still angry at him?"Angeline made no reply. It was considered that she had assented tacitly.Zayne said, “Though he sounded a little mean that day, he has his reasons. You know that he has no principles when it comes to protecting his family, don’t you? He treats Tiger as his own, so when something happens to Tiger, he feels heartbroken and sad too. If he doesn’
"She’ll kill you?" Jay frowned.Grayson explained. "Ms. Severe will force us to go on a blind date. We’re all celibates, so getting married is, for us, more terrifying than getting decapitated.”Jay was stupefied.After a very long time, he mocked. "She must have a lot of free time, huh?”With Grayson and the rest insisting on staying, Jay had no choice but to say to Marilyn, "Go buy some good wine and food to serve them."Marilyn responded, "Sure."Marilyn had just packed her things and was ready to go out when she bumped into Angeline and Zayne who arrived for a visit.Marilyn retreated a few steps in shock. "Darling?"When Jay heard how nervous and uneasy Marilyn sounded, he turned over to look in her direction.At the sight of Angeline clad in a smart suit and her long black hair hanging loosely down her waist, his eyes glistened with an imperceptible delight.As Jay walked to the door, Angeline looked calmly and indifferently at Marilyn. "We’re here to visit Tiger, Maril
Love was in the air.All the employees gawped at Jay and Angeline in astonishment.When Jay realized that he had failed to control his emotions, he put on his usual iceberg of a face and walked up to Tiger to play Legos with him.Angeline recalled what Zayne told her earlier, that she would irritate him if she approached him, but if she did not, then she would have no chance at all.She scratched her head in frustration, then summoned her courage before walking over.Jay was teaching Tiger how to pile up the Lego pieces. No matter how high he piled the Legos, Tiger would push them down in delight.Jay was slightly angry now. "Daddy is teaching you how to pile up the Legos, not how to cause trouble.”Tiger was already not close to him, hence he burst out crying at the top of his lungs, asking for his mommy.Jay tugged his hair in exhaustion.He had been accompanying Tiger in the hospital for the past few days, yet no matter how hard he tried, he still could not get his kindness
All of a sudden, he felt like he was drowning in sorrow. His once imperfect family had vanished like soap bubbles.He was now experiencing something worse than poverty and imperfections—having nothing at all.He truly did not have anything left, both material and spiritual.He suddenly felt dizzy.While waiting for the elevator, Marilyn caught up to Jay and held his hand shamelessly while begging him. "Please don't ignore me, darling. I really love you."Jay sneered, "If you love me, why are you having an affair with another man then?"Marilyn complained tearfully. "He forced me to do it. I didn’t want to."Jay's eyes were bloodshot. "Do you take me for a fool?"At the sight of his fierce and ruthless expression, Marilyn was so terrified that she did not know what to do.When the elevator door opened, Jay and Marilyn walked out one after another.When they got home, Angeline paled with fright when she noticed Jay's bulging veins. She rushed up to Jay anxiously and asked with
“As I was making my escape, I became a man’s target. When he was assaulting me, Ken came chasing after me and killed him. Although it was done in self-defense, Ken was suspected of using excessive force, hence he was sent to prison.”Marilyn sobbed. "I know I don’t deserve you because of my horrible past. Like an insect in hell, I tried so hard to struggle and free myself from this terrifying hell, but no one is willing to help me.”Jay closed his eyes, shutting out his sympathy for her and keeping it in the depths of his eyes. Even though she deserved pity, he found her detestable at the same time.Marilyn murmured, "When I finally met you, I thought that luck had come to me after all the hardships I’ve suffered. Though who would’ve thought? Ken is now released from prison and is even forcing me to go back with him…”At this point, Marilyn lost all control and tears started streaming down her face. "Do you think I want to leave with him after what happened? Just look at the scars
“Madam Angeline, do you have any last words?” The man showed Angeline mercy and gave her the chance to breathe in some air. Angeline pondered upon it for a while and said, “In the past, I only wished for my family’s peace and my children’s health. Right now, I hope that my children will be able to achieve all of their dreams. I hope that Jens will be able to revitalize our family’s business. I hope that Baby Zetty’s wish for there to be no more pain and suffering in the world comes true. I hope that Baby Robbie’s wish for there to be no more separations in families comes true as well.” The man was stunned. The gun in his hands tilted slightly. “Madam Angeline, wealthy people like you live luxurious lives that are free of worries. How would you ever understand the suffering of ordinary people like us? You didn’t mean anything you said to me just now, right?” Angeline said, “I’m about to die. Why would I lie to you? Although I’m from a wealthy family, I’m also a mother. I love
Angeline said, “Although Jens is young, Whitty isn’t at a ripe age anymore. Whitty has waited for Jens for so many years. She should get something in return.” Sir Ares remained silent. However, there was still an unpleasant expression on his face.Upon catching sight of the expression on Sir Ares’ face, Whitty immediately said, “Daddy, Mommy, Jens and I aren’t in a rush to get married. Jens has decided to get married after having a stable career.”Sir Ares seemed to calm down. Jenson stood up and told Sir Ares, “Daddy, I’d like to marry Whitty.” Sir Ares cast a sideway glance at him and asked, “What’s the reason behind your decision to do so?” Jenson said, “I love her.” Sir Ares’ lips upturned slightly. Not only did Jens’ personality resemble that of his, but his outlook on love was similar to his as well.Upon recalling how persistent he was while pursuing Angeline when he was young, Sir Ares knew that he could not stop Jenson.The relationship between father and son w
Sir Ares stared at Angeline speechlessly. At this moment, their memorable love flashed across his mind. He had once loved someone so deeply. He could go against his parents for her as well. Sir Ares sighed and said, “You really can’t keep your children by your side once they’re all grown up.” Angeline stared at the dispirited man before her. Her heart hurt for him. She reached out to hold his hand. Sir Ares smiled at her as she warmed up his hands. He said in an understanding tone, “Angeline, you’re still the best.” Angeline smiled and said, “Of course, I’m the best. That’s because I’m the only person who will stay by your side till the very end. Gale is such an existence for Angel, and Finn is such an existence for Baby Zetty as well.” Sir Ares said, “Alright, stop teasing me. I got it.” Yes, love was above anything else in the world. That was the tradition of the Ares family. Sir Ares was madly in love with Angeline. However, when it came to others, he felt that
However, when Angeline found out about Grayson and Andy’s marriage, she insisted on holding a grand wedding for them.Angeline and Sir Ares called Andy before them. Angeline spoke up in a touched voice, “Andy, I’ve always treated you like my biological daughter. Now that you’re getting married, I’ll marry you off just like you’re my daughter.” Angeline handed a set of jewelry, a bank card, and a key to Andy. She said, “Andy, although Baby Zetty is married, we didn’t hold a grand wedding for her. I don’t know how other families marry off their daughters. Since you’re a girl, you’ll feel secure after having your own property. You’ll have your own freedom after having your own car. You’ll take the effort to dress up after having your own jewelry.” Andy cried tearfully, “Thank you, Mommy.”Angeline hugged Andy and patted her back as she said, “Don’t cry. You must come back often to visit in the future.” “Alright.” After Angeline finished speaking, Sir Ares stared and Grayson an
Whitney handed the envelope over to Andy and said, “Miss Laurel asked me to hand this to you.” Andy slowly opened the envelope under the sisters’ curious gazes. A red spider lily specimen fell out of the envelope.Tears filled Andy’s eyes when she saw it.The sisters all burst into tears. Whitney said, “I don’t know what meaning it holds for you, but I guess Laurel wants to convey something to all of you since she wanted me to hand it to you. Have you understood what she wants to tell you?”Andy cried out loud, “This is the blood oath that we made at the military intelligence division. When we swore to be sisters, Sis Daisy mentioned that although our fates were predetermined in this lifetime and we don’t get to decide how long we’ll be able to live, we can wait for the sisters in the afterlife after death. We must wait for everyone to gather before reincarnation. We can then be reincarnated as sisters in our next life.” Whitney was touched by this beautiful oath. She teared
Jenson then ordered the servants to search every nook and cranny of Tourmaline Estate and Imperial Capital. Baby Robbie seemed to have vanished into thin air. There was no sign of him anywhere.Sir Ares sighed after hearing the news. Angeline gave up after the long search. She told Jenson, “Don’t look for him. He’s all grown up now. We can’t restrain him anymore. Don’t waste more human and physical resources searching for him. Manage Tourmaline Estate well. You and Whitty will have to take responsibility for this household in the future.” Jenson stared into his mommy’s calm eyes. Although he was curious as to why his mommy, who loved her son more than her own life, could react so calmly to his disappearance, he kept that question in his heart. “Yes, mommy.” After leaving Chateau de Selene, Jenson returned to his room in an upset mood. Whitty walked into his room with a cup of hot tea and placed it in his hands gently. “Jens, you’ve been busy every day lately. You must look af
Baby Robbie nodded sternly. After Angeline’s health recovered a little, Baby Robbie paid her a visit at once. His face no longer gave out a childish air. His handsome face exuded a sharpness that resembled that of his father’s.Angeline knew that Baby Robbie would be filled with guilt for the rest of his life after this incident. She also knew that he would change his habit of fooling around and not thinking before acting. “Mommy, it’s all my fault. If I didn’t blindly believe in her, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to damage Tourmaline Estate,” Baby Robbie said. He was filled with self-guilt. Angeline said, “Baby Robbie, I know what you’re thinking. I’m having the same thoughts right now.” ”Baby Robbie was stunned. He glanced evaluatively at the weak and exhausted expression on his mommy’s face. Somehow, Baby Robbie felt upset on behalf of his mommy. It turned out that he was not the only one who did not have a good eye for people. His mommy was in the same boat as we
Jenson decided to rebuild Tourmaline Estate with the underlying theme of ‘remembrance’. Baby Robbie fell silent after looking through the design plans.“Jens, do you think that I’ve committed a huge sin?” He suddenly voiced out his thoughts. Jenson shook his head and said, “Baby Robbie, you didn’t want any of this to happen. However, you should’ve learned your lesson by now. You can’t be kind to everyone at all times.” Baby Robbie nodded and said, “I didn’t understand the meaning behind these words in the past. I get it now.” Jenson was stunned. After Baby Robbie left Jenson’s place, he paid a visit to Angel’s courtyard. Angel was now around seven years old. She was extremely tall and mentally mature. Therefore, she did not seem like a child at all. “Brother, I heard that you haven’t been in a good mood lately. I wanted to look for you since some time ago. However, look at the state that I’m in. How can I go out?” She waved her sleeves slightly. The furniture within the
Sir Ares stared at Sis Thirteen coldly. His gaze was devoid of the fatherly love that he had always shown her.“I knew that you had a hidden motive when you moved into the Ares family back then. However, I didn’t expect you to be so evil and have such a cruel heart at such a young age. Angeline’s love and adoration toward you didn’t warm your heart at all. To me, you’re not just a traitor. You don’t have a heart at all.” Sis Thirteen stared at Sir Ares in shock. Sir Ares’ scoldings seemed to help her better perceive herself. “You hurt my father. You hurt my daddy. That’s why I steeled my heart and decided to take revenge on the Ares family,” she cried out loud. Sir Ares said in a harsh tone, “Karma exists in the world. Why would I hurt him if he didn’t abduct my children? You don’t have the ability to discern right and wrong. You’re just making excuses for yourself. Do you think you’re being reasonable right now?” Sis Thirteen shook her head in devastation. “I only know that
