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
Opposite the jacarandas was a pair of bombax ceiba.Grand Old Master Yorks looked at the tough and tall jacarandas and the trumpet vine creeping onto the jacarandas. He sighed. "This was Cole's Windy Courtyard at first, but after Jay came to Mount Pearl, he picked this courtyard specifically. After several months of renovation, it has become what you see today. This place was also given a new name—Green Plum Town! I suppose this is a gift from Jay to Angeline. He’s the blue jacaranda, whereas Angeline is the trumpet vine. Even if we don’t like the trumpet vine’s boneless and spineless nature, Jay does.”Chloe put on an icy expression without a word.In her opinion, Angeline was nothing but a dispensable item to Jay, similar to clothes and other things that one could do without. Yet who would have thought that Jay would so painstakingly transform Green Plum Town for Angeline?Her heart was instantly filled with jealousy. Jay had never even treated her like that before.Chloe's jeal
The Angeline who had always been meek and humble in front of Chloe suddenly looked as though she had been rubbed the wrong way. Every cell in her body was clamoring for her to fight Chloe.When she commanded Chloe in that overbearing tone, she was trampling on Chloe's dignity. How could the aloof Chloe possibly stand it?She was the mother-in-law while Angeline was only an insignificant daughter-in-law. If Angeline was bold enough to provoke her, then that would mean that she had failed as a mother-in-law.“How dare you order me around, Angeline Severe? I'm your mother-in-law! You’re supposed to respect your elders!" Chloe raged, gritting her teeth.Angeline was extremely furious. "Chloe Yorks, when I called you ‘Mom’ back then, I actually regarded you as my mother-in-law. I tried to get along with you, but you behaved nothing like a mother-in-law at all. You so cruelly and heartlessly tried to break up my marriage with Jaybie, and what I find most intolerable is that you even slin
Angeline could be really unreasonable when it came to defending her children.Five fingerprints emerged on Chloe’s face instantly. Grand Old Master Yorks was worried about his daughter, and Jordan his wife, hence they both yelled in unison, "Stop it, Angeline!”Chloe covered her face, gnashing her teeth in hatred. "Teach her a lesson, Judy."Judy stepped forward immediately.With a flash, Jenson and Baby Robbie stood next to each other in front of their mother.Baby Robbie rolled up his sleeves and said arrogantly, “I can teach this witless young girl a lesson myself.”Jenson stepped back.Chloe raged. "I’m your grandmother, Robbie. Have you forgotten who saved your life in the military intelligence division?”Baby Robbie bit his lip, turning to look at Mommy as he was in a dilemma. Mommy once taught him that a life-saving grace was greater than the heavens… Jenson said coldly, “Whose fault was it that Baby Robbie was forced to enter the military intelligence division? If you
