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
Jay's face was suddenly shrouded in ice. "Angeline, let’s put the blood clot in my head aside. Even if I have a malignant tumor, I’m still not that vulnerable to the point where I can't deal with pressure. If you’re still keeping something from me, then you’d better spill everything all at once.”Angeline chuckled dryly. "What else can I keep from you? You’ve lost your memory, so there are many things you don’t know. I have so many things to tell you yet I don’t know where to start.”A blatant excuse!Jay lay on the bed in despair. "We’re husband and wife, Angeline. We should be honest with each other.”Angeline felt a pang in her heart. She had said the same thing when she interrogated him back then, yet he still chose to carry all the burdens alone.Angeline was, after all, trained and guided by him. Hence, both of them shared similar personalities.There were two things that she chose to keep to herself.One was Baby Robbie’s disappearance and Jenson's return date, which was
“It's time for breakfast, Jaybie.” Angeline smiled brightly, wearing a blissful look on her face.Jay sat up, his upper body bare.Angeline stared at his handsome upper body that looked like a Greek sculpture and licked her lips.Jay, "...""Where are you looking at? Don’t you feel ashamed at all?"Angeline stuck out her tongue and muttered, "It's not like I’ve never seen it before."Jay suddenly felt like he was at a disadvantage.She still remembered how his body looked like but he could not remember how hers looked like. He clearly had the chance to get to know her last night, but he chose to spare her when he saw her sleeping so soundly.Jay turned to look at Angeline’s face. "Come here. Let me take a good look at you."Angeline clutched her chest and made her escape.When Jay came to the kitchen after getting dressed, Angeline was peeling an egg and carefully putting it on his plate for him.She then handed him the mushroom soup that she had just stirred to the right te
As she was in a hurry to go to work, Angeline tried to call the driver only to have Jay disconnect her call."I’ll take you to work."When Angeline went out, Jay looked at her bare face and frowned. "Aren't you wearing any makeup today?"Angeline touched her face and said with a puzzled expression, “Why do I still need to put on makeup now that you’re back? No one will bully me when you’re around, so I don’t need to be the terrifying tigress anymore.”At the thought of his petite and delicate wife exposing her ethereal beauty in front of those men in broad daylight, Jay felt particularly uncomfortable and uneasy."No way. As long as you’re still Grand Asia’s president, you have to put on makeup, or else… you won’t look intimidating at all."Angeline surrendered and went upstairs to put on her makeup.When Angeline came out after putting on her makeup, Jay criticized her for no reason, saying, "Your makeup doesn’t look good today!""Which part?" Angeline was puzzled. She followe
“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
