Angeline walked straight to Sera with bloodshot eyes. She suddenly reached out and started choking Sera viciously."Big Sis is on the verge of death because of you. I want you dead, Sera!"A life for a life.Master Severe and Zayne refused to let Angeline act on impulse and commit a mistake, so Zayne pulled Angeline away. "It’s not worth it to put your life on the line for someone like that, Angeline. I should be the one to avenge Shirley instead.”Angeline regained a trace of rationality and released Sera, saying furiously, "Take her away, Zayne."Angeline then led her family to the hospital conference room. Here, the Severe family held a major meeting that would determine the Severe family’s fate.Angeline presided over the meeting with Master Severe and Anne sitting on the left, and Zayne and Sera on the right. Zayne was on his guards making sure that Sera was not trying to escape.Angeline said with great distress and anger, "I need to tell you a secret today, Dad. I need yo
The moment Sera injured Shirley, the last bit of pity and affection the Severe family had for her had crumbled completely.Master Severe wore a pained expression. "Since your heart no longer belongs to the Severe family, you should return to where you belong. Our relationship as father and daughter ends here.”Sera bit her lip, feeling inexplicably flustered at that moment. Like duckweed that was thrown into the sea, she came up to the shore only to be thrown back in mercilessly as she continued her voyage without an anchor.This feeling lasted only for a fleeting moment. Sera was stubborn and would go through hell for the sake of keeping up appearances. Even if she was chased out of the Severe family, she was going to leave with class and unflinching righteousness."Since you already know my identity and are unwilling to accept me, then I might as well be frank with you. Yes, I’m now the Bell family’s daughter. Angeline Severe, our sisterhood ends here. From today onward, you and
Angeline smiled. "That’s all she’s capable of doing."Sera blushed with shame when she heard the siblings’ conversation and knew for sure that they were talking about her.There were times when she had to admit that Angeline was really smart indeed.After she was expelled from the Severe family, Sera went straight back to the Bells’ residence.After reporting all the incidents in the Severe family to Steven, he looked very pleased. "Angeline and Shirley share a really close relationship. Now that Shirley is on the verge of death, she will definitely spend more time in the hospital. When Grand Asia is vacant, it’ll be our time to take action.” Steven ordered his personal attendant, "Go and give Uncle Andy a call. It’s time for the undercover who we’ve placed in Grand Asia for so many years to do his part.”"Okay." The personal attendant left.Steven looked at Sera with eyes full of admiration. "You did a sterling job, Sera, and I will reward you for that. From now on, you’ll sta
Angeline walked up to Uncle Andy with a sullen expression and questioned him, "Tell me, Uncle Andy. How much did they pay you to betray Grand Asia?”The old man looked a little distraught. "What are you talking about, Ms. Severe? No one told me to do this!"A sneer flashed across Angeline's eyes. "Oh, Uncle Andy. Any Grand Asia employee has the right to accuse me, only you don’t.”Uncle Andy was puzzled.Angeline continued, "Ever since you became severely ill two years ago, Uncle Andy, you’ve lost your ability to work. Grand Asia terminated your employment contract two years ago. Have you forgotten about this?"Uncle Andy shook his head. "You’re lying. I’ve never signed any employment termination contract."Angeline glanced at Grayson. With that, Grayson immediately turned around and went upstairs.Not long after that, Grayson came back downstairs with Uncle Andy’s employment termination contract and handed it over to Angeline reverently.Angeline tossed it to Uncle Andy. "Take
Jean darted a glance at Angeline who was standing not far away and a hint of guilt emerged on his mesmerizing face.Then, he turned around and fled.Jay chased after him immediately.At this moment, Angeline walked up to the reporters. Using the carrot-and-stick approach, she said, "Well, well, aren’t you just a bunch of insignificant news media companies that only know how to cover groundless scandals? Although none of you are worthy to cover Grand Asia’s story, I have no reason to drive you out since you’re already here today. Why don’t we do this? Grayson, note down these media companies. If any of them cover news that harms Grand Asia’s reputation in any way, then make sure you sue them to bankruptcy.”Grayson stepped out and said with a smile, "Sure."Angeline then laughed. "As for the collective resignation of these employees, make sure you get a nice shot of their faces and do a proper write-up on these ungrateful insects. From now on, all Grand Asia branches, as well as co
"Name?" Jay asked suddenly.Jean smiled and said, "Hehe, Brother, you’re trying to trick me into revealing your name, eh? No way. If I tell you your name, you’ll then discover a lot of things, won’t you?”Jay said, "I’m not asking you to tell me my name. I’m asking for your name.”Jean blurted out, "Jean Ares!"Realizing that he had made a mistake as soon as he said his name, Jean covered his mouth and stared at Jay in great horror.There was a crack on Jay's dashing face… "Your name is Jean Ares," he repeated nonchalantly.However, a tempestuous storm was surging in his heart."My surname is Ares too, right?”Jean shook his head, but the look in his eyes had failed to conceal his lie.Jay guided him slowly. "They call me Jaybie, right?"Jean's horrified eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets."We are of the same generation, so my name is Jay Ares, right?"Jean shook his head vigorously.A trace of bewilderment emitted from Jay’s eyes. "I am Jay Ares, Grand Asi
Jean said, "If I tell you the truth, Sis Angeline will make me die an even more horrible death.”Jay could tell that he did not have as much authority and prestige as the she-devil.This dealt a heavy blow to his self-esteem. "Why are you so afraid of her?" he asked furiously.Jean said, "I’m not the only one. Back then, you were afraid of her yourself, weren’t you, Brother?""I was afraid of her?" Jay sounded as if he had just heard a fantastical story.Jean said, "Don’t speak too soon, Brother. Make sure you leave a way out for yourself or I’m afraid that the durians in the market aren’t enough for you to kneel on.”Jay looked grim. Why did he have a feeling like he was the most useless son-in-law out there?When Jean saw the defeated look on Jay's face, he patted him on the shoulder and consoled him, saying, "You should just go along with Sis Angeline’s arrangement, Brother. Everyone in this world may hurt you but Sis Angeline will not.”"What benefit did she give you for yo
As soon as Jay stepped into the lobby, he saw his foster mother and Sera huddled together while crying aloud.Sera’s beautiful face was bruised and swollen while her lips were busted and bloody.Jay frowned. "Who hit you?"When they heard Jay’s voice, they abruptly raised their heads. When they saw Jay, a glint of delight emitted from their eyes.Shortly after that, Madam Ares started choking with sobs. "Forget it, my child. What can you do even if we tell you? Now that the Ares family has lost its former glory and prestige, we’re subjugated and wronged all the time.”A cold glint of jealousy emitted from Sera’s eyes, yet even so, she put on an act as though she had suffered terribly. She wailed, saying, "You were right, Mom. As Grand Asia’s president, Angeline is simply too powerful and dominant in Imperial Capital. We can’t afford to offend her. My injury and grievances are nothing. As long as she’s willing to spare the Ares family, my suffering will be worth it.”Jay's falcon-
