Chloe was incredulous by Cole’s audacity to chase her away. Taking advantage of her noble status, she said unscrupulously, “I am Doomsday’s admiral. I have a higher position than you, and I am your elder in terms of status. How dare you chase me away, Cole Yorks?”Cole said, "Aunt Chloe, a hero is silent about their past glories. You being Doomsday’s admiral is now a thing of the past. Do you think that you still deserve the title of admiral with the current state of your health?”Upon returning to Doomsday, Chloe had been held in high esteem, and she enjoyed the sense of honor brought to her by this title.Cole, however, touched her raw nerve, crushing the last bit of vanity she had left. Chloe broke down emotionally and flew into a rage.“Are you itching for a beating, Cole Yorks? I will make sure your father strikes you 30 times. I’d like to see how you’ll keep being so arrogant after that.”Cole said, “Angeline is my guest. I’m willing to take 100 strikes without a single comp
At that moment, Angeline finally realized an unchangeable fact—Chloe was Jay's mother. This was a blood relation no one could change.If she wanted Jay to cut off ties with his mother, her hope would not only seem cruel but it would also be wishful thinking.“Angeline!” Cole rushed over like a whirlwind, picking up the soft and limp Angeline.Therefore, Angeline stayed in Time Villa, resting in Sis Shirley’s room as she waited for her body to recover.Meanwhile, Jay rushed to the clinic holding Chloe in his arms. Jordan and Grand Old Master Yorks rushed over after hearing news that Chloe was hurt.Chloe entered the ER. Jordan and Grand Old Master Yorks waited outside anxiously, darting glances at the solemn-looking Jay from time to time.Grand Old Master Yorks could not stand it anymore. Perhaps it was out of his love for his daughter that he started criticizing the culprit harshly.“Jay, you really need to control your wife. Your mother is lucky to be alive after all the suffer
“We can't go back. I don't have the strength to go back anymore. Take care of our children, Jaybie. Treat Sis Thirteen well. I promised to send them to school and let them lead normal lives. Please fulfill this wish for me.”Jay felt his blood run cold. Angeline did not seem to be engaging in normal conversation with him. It sounded more like she was leaving a will.Jay broke down completely, his tears rolling in his eyes. Even his speech became slurred. "No… Angeline, you can’t say these things. Rest, don’t speak anymore. You can say anything you want when you recover and I’ll listen to them all, not now…”However, Angeline’s next words frightened Jay even more. She began muttering weird and absurd things, "Rose, thank you for allowing me to occupy your body for so long. I will now return her to you…”Jay roared hysterically. "No, Angeline! Don't go, don't go!"Sis Shirley paled in fright when she heard Jay's hysterical screams and rushed over while staggering.In the courtyard,
Angeline had a long dream.In her dream, she had fallen into a bottomless abyss. It was pitch-black everywhere. She floated in the dark with no direction and no purpose.Suddenly, a beam of holy light sprinkled on the east, and she flew to that beam of light with great ecstasy.In the world where she saw light, Rose was beckoning to her.“You’re finally here, Angeline. I’ve been waiting so long for you," Rose complained.Angeline felt apologetic. "Rose, thank you for lending me your body. It has given me an additional of more than ten years of life. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, it’s time I return her to you.”Angeline felt feather-light when her soul left her body.It was at this moment she suddenly heard Jay's heart-piercing cry.Rose said to her, "You must never look back, Angeline, because if you do, you’ll fall into the mortal world again and will continue to experience the hardships of the world."When Angeline heard what she said, she followed Rose and slowly str
“Is Angeline alright?" Grand Old Master Yorks asked.Jay's voice was hoarse. It was clear that his vocal cords had suffered some damage. He replied, “She’s okay.”Chloe started boasting, “See? I told you she’s just pretending. None of you believed me when I said that Angeline is really conniving!”Jay looked at Chloe expressionlessly. His heart was clenched tightly when he saw Chloe's exultant face.He walked up to Chloe, his voice carrying no trace of warmth but boundless exhaustion instead. “Mom, you’ve suffered many hardships in life. I know it wasn’t easy for you to return to Doomsday, so perhaps you should be spending your remaining days being carefree instead of worrying so much.”Chloe laughed. “You’re my son. It’s my duty to worry about you.”Grand Old Master Yorks frowned. Chloe had probably misunderstood Jay.Jay was clearly condemning her for being nosy.Jay said again, "Let me be the one to worry about Angeline’s affairs because I’m the one who indulged her spoiled
Jay brought Angeline back to Green Plum Town after her fever had gone down.Angeline was curled up on the couch blankly. She took off her shoes, hugged her knees, and rested her slender chin on her knees, allowing her thoughts to run wild.She had never liked Chloe to begin with. Chloe not only killed Mr. Boye but also killed her in a car accident. Angeline hated the heartless Chloe from the bottom of her heart.However, Angeline had been forcing herself to accept Chloe for Jay’s sake. She deliberately tried to please Chloe, but the woman did not appreciate it at all. Instead, she called her trash, broke her marriage, and ruined her reputation. What she did crossed the line.Angeline refused to be the bigger person anymore. She was faced with a desperate choice at the moment. She did not want to see Chloe again nor force a smile at her. If Chloe ever provoked her again, Angeline would go all out to fight her. She refused to be a doormat any longer and would beat her up hard.She
Angeline's eyes that looked like pools of stagnant water suddenly rolled in their sockets. She turned her head and looked indifferently at him. As her lips parted, her delicate and feeble voice rang out, “In my world, we simply can’t coexist. It’s either me or her. You need to make a choice.”Her voice might be soft and weak, but her eyes were firm and determined.Jay’s eagle eyes contracted abruptly as fine beads of cold sweat seeped out of his back. Angeline was trying to make him choose between giving up his mother or her?“Angeline, I won’t give up on my mother, nor will I give up on you. Trust me, there will be a solution to this problem."All of a sudden, Angeline’s face broke into a smile—a cold yet coquettish smile.She shook Jay’s hand away hard and said coldly, “No, I already have the answer.”Jay felt as though a basin of cold water had just poured down on him from head to toe. "What are you trying to do?" he asked anxiously.Angeline hugged her knees again and fell s
Chloe sneered, “Jay is a filial son. If he was able to leave Angeline to die alone for the Ares family back then, then he will not abandon his own mother for Angeline now. Rest assured, Dad.”Grand Old Master Yorks pondered for a while and said, “Speaking of which, Angeline is in really poor health, so Jay does need a more physically tough wife to assist him. If you insist on giving him a second wife, then we need to give this matter further thought and discuss it later. You need to at least convince Jay to accept Judy.”The moment Chloe recalled how she ended up hospitalized after Angeline infuriated her, she started to rage. “Just because Jay loves and pampers her, Angeline thinks she doesn’t need to respect her mother-in-law anymore. If Jay marries Judy, she’ll know what it feels like to be treated coldly by her husband. I’d like to see how she’ll keep being so arrogant when that happens.”Chloe gloated in her heart. She was Doomsday’s admiral, someone who could command the Tiger
