After recomposing himself, Jay raised his eyelids. At this moment, intense hostility enveloped his eagle eyes. "Tell me everything you know, Sydney."Sydney wiped her tears wearing a blank look on her face. "What's the use of telling you now? She’s never going to come back anymore.”"Tell me." Jay roared like a hibernating lion that had just awoken.Sydney shuddered, saying, "I don’t know what happened either. All I know is that Angeline appeared as soon as my sister disappeared. Angeline is the Severe family’s beloved daughter, whereas my sister is just the Loyle family’s illegitimate daughter. How could she compete with Angeline? Everyone knew that my sister would lose, but we naively thought that Angeline would be magnanimous enough to at least let my sister come home. It never occurred to me that my sister would disappear just like that.”At this point, Sydney seemed to have lost control of herself and questioned Jay with tears in her eyes, "Have you ever protected your wife an
Madam Ares was a little stunned when she saw Angeline. There was a crack in her meek and gentle image as a touch of hatred was revealed in her eyes."Oh, Angeline is here?" Madam Ares let out an insincere smile.After the polite greeting, she reprimanded Angeline like a wolf in sheep's clothing, "Jay has returned to Imperial Capital for so long yet you refused to let us see him. Don’t you think that’s too much? We’re Jay’s family. Do you have any idea how much we miss him?"Angeline looked uneasy.Grand Old Master Ares interrupted her and spoke up for Angeline, saying, "You can’t blame Angeline for this. Angeline notified me the moment she found Jay. I was the one who didn’t want him to return to this family. Jay has made too many sacrifices for this family. Until he recovers his memory, I don’t want him to come home for fear that the Doomsday Organization will return…”A hint of panic flashed across Madam Ares’ eyes after hearing what he said.Angeline glared at Madam Ares and s
Madam Ares shook her head violently, her voice quivering as she said, "Don't look, Old Master Jack."Jack looked at Angeline. "Tell me, Angeline. What photos are those?”Angeline said, "Grand Asia is in dire straits lately. We’ve not only been attacked by an anonymous hacker but what’s more terrifying than that was my personal stamps being stolen and used. After thinking about it, I realized that Jaybie is the only one who can steal my personal stamps, and the only person who can instigate Jaybie to do this is Madam Ares. Therefore, I turned my attention to Madam Ares and hired someone to investigate her. I didn’t expect myself to discover her dirty little secret instead."Madam Ares has frequented the Bells’ residence a lot lately and is pretty close to Steven. I figured that the Ares and Bell family probably wouldn’t go so far as to join hands to attack Grand Asia, so Madam Ares must’ve acted on her own accord when she helped Bell Enterprise.”As she said those words, Angeline’s
His impulse was the cause of the Ares family’s tragedy in the past. If he could just control his emotions back then, he would not have brought fear and misfortune upon the Ares family."Jack, stop." Grand Old Master Ares roared.Jack tossed the broom away. With his bloodshot eyes, he glared fiercely at Madam Ares like a bloodthirsty demon. "Ask yourself honestly, do you think what you did is right?"Now badly mangled and disfigured, Madam Ares wailed and begged for mercy. "I may have made a mistake, Old Master Jack, but I’ve raised Jay and Josephine for you, both of who are not of my own. Don’t I deserve a bit of credit for my hard work too? For all the things I’ve done and the pain I’ve suffered, I beg you to please spare me.”Jack roared. "You want to be spared after you betrayed me? Do you think I’m a hotel where you can come and go as you like? Well, let me tell you, the hatred in my heart will never be rid of until I torture you to death.”Jack then started screaming at his s
Jay's pupils darkened. This girl was pretty good at catching people off guard with her tricks.Then, he remembered Rose… The weak and harmless girl.Jay suddenly pushed Angeline away.Angeline stared blankly at him, her deer-like eyes looking wounded. "What’s wrong?"Jay stood up irritably. When he saw her wounded eyes, his heart ached even more."I bought you clothes. I'll go get them." He made an excuse to leave.Angeline nodded with a dull look on her face. "Mm."How could she not sense his resistance?He was a temperamental man. He would sometimes grow close to her and other times distance himself from her, just like a puppet that was being manipulated by others.Angeline sighed weakly. "When is your memory going to recover?"Soon, Jay returned with a few shopping bags. It was clear that he was suppressing his irritability.He handed the bags to Angeline and said softly, "See if you like them?"There was a glimmer in Angeline’s eyes when she took out a dress. "What a
Jay was a little stunned. He then said with a deeper meaning, "Oh, really? You miss the past?”In the past, she was not Grand Asia’s president and wielded no power over other people’s life and property as she pleased, yet she liked it?Angeline leaned on his shoulder and lamented, "I miss the old days when worries were the least of our concerns and I only had eyes for you. There’s just so much helplessness now..."Jay listened to her and hugged her tighter involuntarily.How he hoped that everything Sydney said was fake.He would rather believe that he and Angeline used to love and hold each other, that their love was unsophisticated and pure.After dinner.Jay washed the dishes whereas Angeline and Baby Zetty went to the back garden to admire the flowers.Jay’s mobile phone suddenly vibrated. He took out his phone and saw a text message from his mother displayed on top of the screen. Feeling a little puzzled, he slid to unlock his phone.Madam Ares: [Angeline set me up, Son.
"Mom," he cried out anxiously.Madam Ares crawled up to him weakly and complained about her tragic experience with indignance. "I’m sorry, Son. Your mother has brought shame to the Ares family"Madam Ares attempted to win Jay’s favor by acknowledging her mistake first.Madam Ares then complained tearfully. "But I have my sorrows too, Son. Steven and I were childhood sweethearts. We even won our parents’ full support. With their support, I gave up everything to love him. But who would’ve thought that my family would go bankrupt? The Bells are a bunch of snobs and forced me to break off the engagement. Steven and I tried to elope, but our plan failed as we were caught and brought back here. They broke one of his legs, and in order to save him, I had no choice but to promise the Bell family to marry into the Ares family."I was left with no choice but to marry your father. Your father treats me kindly, but a thorn is always there pricking my heart. I cannot bring myself to love him wi
Jay had no idea how he got back to Garden Of A Diary. Although he desired to run away from this suffocating place, he still found himself back here for some reason.No matter how incompetent his wife was, he knew it in his subconscious mind that he still cared and loved her, wanting nothing to happen to her.Like a calling, love brought him back to Angeline. Despite that, he put on a confrontational expression on his face once again.When he opened the door of the villa, he saw Angeline sitting quietly on the couch. As their gazes met, his eyes were filled with a trace of anger, and she, a touch of guilt.He walked up to her, holding his white blouse in his hand that was now stained with crimson blood. He looked down at her from above.Angeline was forced to raise her head to look at his face. His mesmerizing face was shrouded in anger.Angeline’s countenance dimmed as she asked, "You went to the Ares family?"Jay was slightly taken aback before a self-deprecating sneer emerged
