"Sis, have you ever thought about Cole’s feelings when he finds out that you want to leave?” Chloe persuaded.Mrs. Yorks chuckled. "Well, if Angeline can give up on the man she loved for two lifetimes, then what does that prove? It proves that Yorks Stronghold is a place where hatred is greater than love. It means that this is our living hell, and we won’t hesitate to pay the price to escape from the rotten system here."The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the thin backs of three women. They walked on the long path and moved forward step by step.Suddenly, a car pulled up next to them.Carson jumped out of the car door and opened the door to the backseat like a gentleman.Mrs. Yorks and Angeline got into the car. When it was Shirley's turn, Carson said a few words to Sis Shirley stiffly, "Sis Shirley, Young Master asked me to pass you a message.”Shirley stared suspiciously at Carson and then saw him dropping his head before saying, "I’m sorry."Tears welled up in Sis Shir
Chloe defended Judy, saying, "No, no, Jay, you’ve misunderstood Judy. Judy is actually really innocent and harmless..."Jay retorted furiously, "Innocent and harmless? If she’s really innocent and harmless, she wouldn’t have sent Angeline out to be a hostage. She’s selfish and narrow-minded, and you admire her simply because birds of a feather flock together.”Chloe's face turned pale. She did not know that she was such an eyesore to Jay.Unwilling to resign to her fate, she began defending herself. "No, I had no idea Judy did this. How can you say that your mother is selfish and prejudiced?”Jay said with bloodshot eyes, “I’m being lenient by merely calling you selfish and prejudiced. I tolerated you because you’re my mother. Today, I finally realized how much my tolerance and empathy toward you has hurt Angeline.”Chloe broke down and cried. "You’re always standing on her side. Has she not made a mistake before? She, a junior, has hit me twice. Am I not without dignity?”Jay wa
Jay said, “Give me one reason why I should stay.”“Your mother is here!” Chloe cried aloud.Jay lifted his leg gently and shook off Chloe's hand, saying with a dull expression, “Wherever you go, that’s where Father will be. That’s the love between both of you. But for me, wherever Angeline goes, that’s where home is. That’s what love means to me.”Chloe shed tears of despair and regret. “I was wrong, Jay. I was terribly wrong. Stay and keep me company, please?”"Angeline isn’t in good health to start with, and after being bullied by you today, who knows how terribly her health will deteriorate? I can’t leave her behind,” Jay said.“If that’s the case… I’ll send someone to get her back." Chloe compromised reluctantly.If it was not for the fact that Jay was about to leave her behind, would she even stoop to compromise with Angeline?Jay looked at Chloe's wretched appearance and felt as though his heart had been sliced open.Josephine knew that Jay was a man who valued his family
Like a beam of light, Jay had brought the light of dawn to Yorks Stronghold, but after dark, he retreated without a trace.The once lively Yorks Stronghold had gone back to being silent and dull.Grand Old Master Yorks swayed and staggered on the mountain path, recalling every moment he and Jay shared. The child was cunning and wise and knew how to make him smile.However, he could not enjoy such bliss and warmth anymore.His heart was filled with regrets, but he had only himself to blame.On the other hand, Chloe was crying in Jordan's arms. Up until now, she still could not wrap her head around it and kept on mumbling, “Why is Jay so cruel? How can he abandon his mother?”Jordan had always been accommodating to Chloe. Firstly because of love, and secondly because of guilt. Back then, the Areses had imprisoned Chloe in the underground palace, which was why she contracted a strange disease. She had muscle atrophy and lost her mobility, and because of this guilt, he chose to be ki
Jordan could only sigh.Immediately after Jay set foot in Imperial Capital, he rushed to Angeline’s house in Swallow City.At the sight of Lady Severe and Mr. Severe, Jay asked anxiously, "Did Angeline come home, Mom and Dad?”Lady Severe was stunned. “Angeline is with you, isn’t she?”A hint of uneasiness flashed across Jay’s heart. Angeline did not come home. Where could she have gone?Josephine consoled Jay. “Brother, Angeline may have gone to Imperial Capital first.”Jay nodded, and before he could exchange greetings with the elders from the Severe family, he drove to Imperial Capital in a hurry.He went to Carefree Garden, Grand Asia, and even the newly built Tourmaline Estate… He went everywhere he could possibly think of, yet Angeline was still nowhere to be found.Jay grew extremely uneasy.Had Angeline made up her mind to part ways with him?After what Angeline had gone through this time, her health must have suffered a heavy blow. Thinking about this, Jay grew anxio
Baby Robbie lay on the sofa with his arms folded and said calmly, "You can help us cheat when we have exams!" Jenson was speechless. Jenson rolled his eyes at them and said, "Don't worry, Daddy will not give up until each of you become outstanding students." Baby Robbie and the girls almost fainted. Grand Old Master Ares found out that Jay had returned to Imperial Capital, so for the entire day, he waited by the door for his children and grandchildren to come and see him. However, after waiting for several days, Grand Old Master Ares lost his patience. He took the initiative to call Jay.Grand Old Master Ares questioned unhappily, "Jay, I know you’ve been back to Imperial Capital for a few days now. Why haven’t you visited me? Also, I heard that Baby Robbie is back. Come over with the kids." Jay said in a low voice, "Grandpa, I lost Angeline." Grand Old Master Ares kept silent for a long while. He finally understood why Jay had not visited since he came back. Without
Jay brought the children to Tourmaline Estate to visit Grand Old Master Ares. The estate was especially lively with the gathering of a few of the Ares family branches. Jean was a self-claimed pick-up artist. When Jean saw that Jay was holding onto his phone and texting the entire night, he could not stand it anymore. He snatched Jay's phone, threw it aside, and said, "Brother, is Sister-in-law answering any of your calls? Is she replying to any of your texts?" Jay glared at Jean with an angry expression. How dare this kid try to teach him a lesson?! When Jean saw Jay's expression, he knew he had hit his sore spot. Jean smiled and said, "She’s not answering your calls or returning your text messages, is that right? Let me tell you, there are only two reasons for this."Jay straightened up and listened carefully to what Jean had to say next. Jean said, "The first reason is that your writing is sub-par and your words can't move her." Jay gave a scowl. How dare this kid
Jay's icy expression instantly softened. He nodded and said, "Be safe." The children giggled. After Daddy adopted them, he regarded them as his own daughters and cared about their safety. If they were out in public, the people there should be the ones worried. Finally, it was Baby Robbie and Jenson’s turn to walk up to Grand Old Master Ares. Jenson's face was sullen, but Baby Robbie plunged into the arms of Grand Old Master Ares. He greeted him affectionately, "Great-grandpa." Grand Old Master Ares' tears filled his eyes. "Baby Robbie, I’m so happy that you’re back."When Grand Old Master Ares handed some money to Baby Robbie and Jenson, Baby Robbie took it and kept it like the others. However, Jenson kept his hands in his pants pockets and said coolly, "Great-grandpa, I’m not a child, so I don't need any allowance." Grand Old Master Ares held the money in his hand as he said, "Jens, in Great-grandpa's heart, you’ll always be my baby grandson." Jenson reluctantly too
