Zayne gaped. “My goodness, that brain of Angel’s really is something different. Why didn’t I think of that in the first place?”Shirley smiled and teased him, saying, “If you were able to think of a perfect plan like that, then you would already have a grown-up child with Josephine.”Zayne looked at Shirley. “You… You don’t feel bad about this at all?”Shirley shook her head. “I can’t be happier.”Zayne’s face suddenly became ashen. “Sigh, why do I feel like a failure?”He glanced at Shirley, still feeling somewhat adamant. “So I’m not attractive anymore? You don’t feel the slightest bit reluctant to leave me?”Shirley replied, “If you’re not attractive, then how could you have charmed Josephine? Zayne, I like you too. It’s just that my feelings for you would never be as strong as Josephine’s. I don’t want to get in the way of your happiness as well as Josephine’s. That will only make me feel guilty.”Zayne’s tears welled up in his eyes. He held Shirley’s hands tightly in his. “
Angeline lay on the hospital bed, her delicate face looking old and tired because of her illness.Grayson walked over to Angeline and said, “President, I’ve announced the news of you falling sick, and I’ve postponed the shareholder’s meeting to five days later.”Angeline thought for a while and said weakly, “You did well. That way, it would mean a chance at surviving together both for us and our enemies.”Grayson’s expression became solemn. “We only have five days’ time, but now that you’re very ill, I’m afraid that…”Angeline weakly raised her hand and said, “Although my limbs are not working right now, my eyes and brain are just fine. I’m far from being hopeless. Find a way to tell President Ares the truth and force him to take his position.”Grayson said with seriousness, “I have one more piece of news. I don’t know whether it’s considered good or bad news.”“Just say it.”Grayson hesitated before saying, “Grand Asia’s internal servers were locked by an unknown hacker.”Ange
A voice suddenly rang in his head. “Jaybie, you have to hold my hand tightly. Don’t lose me.”“I’ll have to work hard and earn more money for my little wife.”Jay’s head began to hurt again as he hugged his head and squatted on the floor.The little girl gently put the auspicious necklace in his hand and said, “Brother, I’m giving you this necklace. I hope that it can bring you good luck.”“Thank you, “ Jay said in agony.He pulled at his hair, his head hurting. It felt like it was about to explode.The people around him weaved in and out, various noises continuously ringing in his ears.“Screen protectors, screen protectors, phone screen protectors!”“Miss, do you want a screen protector?“President, you’re good at applying screen protectors.” A joyful voice was heard chirping.Jay was utterly shocked. Why would such weird noises ring in his head?What kind of president would put himself in such a lowly position to apply screen protectors?The next conversation in his head
When the boss saw Jay, his eyes were sparkling. “What a rare guest. The crown prince of Imperial Capital is an extraordinary person, yet he has come to our humble company. I feel very honored.”“Cut the crap.” Jay pulled the chair in front of the boss and sat down on it with elegance.“I’ve heard that The Pepperazzi specializes in taking pictures of the higher echelons’ daily life. I came here today to propose a deal.”“Tell me, Master Ares.” The boss nodded as he bowed.“I want to know everything about my past. Tell me everything you know.”The boss felt troubled. “Master Ares, you should know that those in our industry would have a lot of expenses just to get one piece of information. If you know too much, then who should I collect the money from?”Jay blurted, “Go ask Grand Asia.”He felt distressed the moment he said that. Since he wanted to keep a distance from Angeline, then why was he thinking about her all the time?The boss was overjoyed. “Just ask away, Master Ares. I
It was five days to the shareholder’s meeting and two days had passed.However, Grand Asia had yet to find a solution to their problem.The members of Ghost had been searching everywhere for Jay, but it was as if he vanished into thin air. They could not find him anywhere.He was a smart man. If he would not want anyone to find him, then who could?Angeline sighed helplessly and flipped her covers open as she tried to move her legs. She gritted her teeth as she inched her legs to the side of the bed and let them hang.She wanted to will herself against her illness and enable herself to stand up once again in the shortest time possible.However, when she finally managed to get down from the bed, she realized her body was like jelly as she fell and sat on the ground.“Angeline,” Zayne cried out as he brought in a pot of water. When he saw Angeline on the floor, he threw the pot aside and walked over to Angeline, carrying her.Angeline stopped him. “Don’t carry me. Brother, close
The boss was still talking all sorts of nonsense to insult and frame Angeline. “Master Ares, we just suddenly knew about Angeline getting together with Cole Yorks and betraying you. Tourmaline Estate, which belonged to the Areses, was indeed destroyed because of Cole. You and your assistant, Tempest, on the other hand, were also involved in a mishap because of Cole.”The boss paused and sighed. “We just can’t understand one thing, which is how you and Angeline started to hate each other after being in love for such a long time? It’s a shame indeed.”The look in Jay’s eyes turned from dismay into hopelessness, and in the end, it became a furious rage.“You’re talking nonsense!”The office door was suddenly kicked open.Jay looked at Grayson who was mad with rage and roared at him. “What are you doing here?”Grayson’s face turned from rage into respect when he saw Jay. “Master Ares, don’t listen to his nonsense. He simply wants to ruin your relationship with Ms. Severe.”Jay retor
He slowly let go of her throat. He spoke again, and his voice had a hint of bewilderment to it, “Angeline, there is only one truth and no one can hide it. Don’t you try to stop me from trying to find the truth, and don’t you try to interfere by making things up. I won’t believe everything that easily.”Angeline opened her eyes, but her gaze looked misty and dispirited. After that violent shock he gave her, she lost her eyesight completely.Her vision was dark and she could not see Jay’s face.She was so sad that she cried on the spot.Why were the heavens so cruel to her, torturing her from the mind to the flesh?She did not know that Jay had left her sight until she heard Zayne holler in agony, “Jay Ares, you’re a b*stard! My sister’s biggest misfortune in life is loving you!”Jay suddenly felt a cold chill running down his spine. His heart suddenly hurt, but he did not feel remorse, so he dragged his lethargic self away from there.After Jay left, Zayne wanted to send Angeline
After Old Master Severe recovered from his shock, he suddenly became irritated when he heard Lady Severe say those discouraging words. “I know that you all love Angeline and you’re not willing to let her fall sick. But you have to understand that the life you want for Angeline might not be what she likes. Should a person live just to have food in their mouth?“Angeline is not someone who gets beaten that easily, believe me. She will stand up again. Didn’t I get back on my feet too?” said the old master.Lady Severe protested against the old master for the first time. “Father, you’re not Angeline, so you don’t know her pain. Angeline is such an excellent girl. She has great values and such good looks. Being sick at such an age would be the cruelest thing that could happen to her. You got back on your feet because Angeline built up Severe Group and made you realize that there was hope. But now, where is hope for Angeline?”Old Master Severe sank into silence.Zayne’s voice was choked
