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-
Jay stared at her. Her thin shoulders made her look very frail, but her eyes were very bright—so bright that they revealed determination and persistence."Where did you go?" Angeline questioned, looking down at him from above.Jay cushioned his head with his hands and stared dispiritedly at Angeline. "Home."Angeline was slightly stunned. "You met the Areses?"“Mm.”"What did they say to you?" A trace of anxiety emerged in Angeline’s eyes.Jay’s eagle eyes emitted a hint of frost. When he spoke, his voice had lost its warmth."Return Ares Enterprise to the Ares family, Angeline."Angeline stared blankly at Jay. "Who suggested this to you?"Jay put on an imposing aura. "I am Grand Asia’s founder and I have the right to decide whether Ares Enterprise goes or stays.”Angeline's tender features looked ruthless and tyrannical in an instant. "If you want to make a decision for Grand Asia, then wait until your memory has fully recovered. Not now."Jay put on a grim expression. "Tha
Angeline grabbed her pajamas and walked to the bathroom. When she reached the bathroom door, she suddenly looked back and smiled.Jay always felt that her smile carried a deeper meaning to it. However, the smile he returned to her carried an even deeper meaning.After Angeline entered the bathroom, Jay unlocked the handcuffs and quickly jumped up from the bed.He rummaged through the boxes in the bedroom and under the guidance of his subconscious mind, found a safe embedded in the wall. He located Angeline’s stamp box, which contained two different stamps. Jay took them out but ended up staring blankly at them.Did he really want to do this?Angeline lay in the bathtub, the thick makeup on her face already washed off by the water to reveal her pure bare face.Her smooth egg-shell skin looked as if it could crack under the slightest blow. Without her smokey eye makeup, her eyes now looked alive and innocent.Angeline put on a white nightdress after her shower, her long wet black
After seeing her harmless childlike bare face, however, Jay was so stunned that he could not speak for a very long time.Angeline raised her eyes and looked at him. "Jaybie," she called out coyly.Jay looked dazedly at her. At this moment, he was unable to associate Angeline with the savage and outrageous she-devil at all.He had to admit that her makeup skills were really amazing.After he was done feeling astonished, he then felt immensely delighted.It turned out that the woman of his dreams, the woman who was imprinted in his mind, was Angeline.How lucky was he that the girl he liked liked him back.However, this girl had tortured him so badly by lying to him."Well don’t you look just like your cousin, Angeline?" He joked in an angry tone.Angeline took his hand and apologized sincerely. "I don't have a cousin. Sera and I are the only women in the Severe family.”Like rain in spring, her docile demeanor extinguished the raging flames in his heart.His dignity and pride
