Boye smiled and said, "How are you feeling today?""I’ve recovered," Jay replied stiffly.Boye said, “How could you have recovered so quickly? You need to undergo treatment for at least half a month more. Thank God I came earlier so your treatment didn’t get delayed. If I came late and things spiraled out of control, then it’s only going to spell trouble.”Jay said, "Aren't you a genius doctor? Why are you afraid of trouble?”Boye snapped. “You’re making things difficult for me on purpose, are you? Listen up, JJ. Grandma is old now and I will die at any time. You’d better take care of yourself in the future. Think about Angeline. She’ll only be healthy when you’re healthy.”Jay fell silent.He thought of Angeline and her recurring somatization disorder. Her heart was so fragile and her body was so weak. What would happen to her if he was not around to take care of her?“Okay,” he muttered.Boye’s features eased up and then she said with a smile, “You want to see Angeline, right
Angeline was in poor health, though.How long more would Jay need to keep being worried about her?Boye was afraid that Jay would go too deep into his emotions and end up shortening his lifespan because of that.However, Boye was different from Chloe. Chloe was probably afraid that Angeline's weak and ill physique would drag Jay down, so she deliberately tried to separate them. However, that only made Angeline and Jay's health deteriorate further.Boye would not take her anger out on Angeline because she knew that there was no other woman in this world who loved Jay more than Angeline. In fact, Jay was also the reason why Angeline was ill. If there had not been so many ups and downs in Angeline’s life that were triggered by Jay, things would not have gotten so serious either."When will Angeline wake up, Grandma?" Jay asked suddenly.Boye looked as though she was asked a very difficult question… After a long time, she said somewhat perfunctorily, “She’s doing much better than the
When Chloe saw Jordan walking toward her, she thought that Jordan was no longer mad at her and was finally willing to talk to her.Who would have thought, however, that Jordan would throw a document at her the moment he walked up to her. He said indifferently, “Chloe Yorks, this is our divorce agreement. Take a look, and if you have no objections, then put down your signature.”Chloe instantly went berserk, shoving the divorce agreement back to Jordan. She took his hand, begging bitterly, “I don’t want to divorce, Jordan. I don’t want to divorce.”Jordan pulled Chloe’s hand away and looked at her hideous face, saying purposefully, "Chloe Yorks, I fell in love with you without a single hesitation back then because of your beauty. Now, I will leave you without a single hesitation because of your ugliness.“Just look at yourself. Not only do you have an ugly face, but you also have an ugly heart. I don't know what reason I have anymore to love a woman who’s ugly both inside and out.”
Jordan sneered, “That’s just a lie I’ve been telling myself all these years.”Jordan turned around and left in a desolate state.Chloe fell to the ground, wailing her heart out.“Argh, how did things turn out this way?!”Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Chloe with a stabbing pain in his heart.Spencer, Sandra, Judy, and Cole had gathered around. All of them were staring at her, unsmiling and without a word.In the end, it was Cole who broke the stifling atmosphere.“Aunt Chloe, there’s a philosophical saying that goes like this, ‘your character determines your destiny. Your tough life is determined by your character.’ In a nutshell, you can only blame yourself for the things that have happened to you today.”Chloe stared at Cole, finding it impossible to refute the things he said.Sandra carefully spoke on Chloe’s behalf, “Cole, your aunt knows she was wrong. Stop adding insult to her injury.”Cole looked at Sandra as a wicked sneer formed on his dashing face. “Alright, she k
Sandra's dreams turned into dust. Jay arrived at Tourmaline Estate with an imperious aura. When Grand Old Master Ares saw Jay, he did not even have the time to be surprised. Rather, he was taken back by how threatening Jay appeared. Grand Old Master Ares was an old man who had experienced various vicissitudes in his lifetime. His temperament became calmer as he got older. He knew when he should take a step back to keep peace in the family. Grand Old Master Ares did not want Jay to keep killing people. That was because he knew that when there was killing, there would be hatred. An eye for an eye made the whole world blind. Grand Old Master Ares secretly told his servant, "Go to Fragrant Vessel Court now and tell Grand Old Master Yorks that Young Master Jay is back."After the servant left, Grand Old Master Ares said to Jay, "JJ, Grandpa knows you’re feeling terrible, but now that you’ve returned safely, put aside your hatred." Jay kept quiet, his handsome face shrouded b
"Quickly, take me to Fragrant Vessel Court,” Grand Old Master Ares said anxiously. Fragrant Vessel Court. When Grand Old Master Ares’ servant shared the news of Jay's arrival at Tourmaline Estate, everyone in Fragrant Vessel Court was overjoyed. Grand Old Master Yorks was ecstatic and said, "JJ has healed?" Chloe and Sandra were surprised! Chloe said excitedly, "That’s great! JJ is okay, I don't have to blame myself anymore." While everyone was thrilled, the servant looked extremely solemn. He said, "Grand Old Master Ares asked me to tell you about Young Master Jay's return in advance so that you can be prepared." Grand Old Master Yorks was dumbfounded. He knew that something was unusual. Grand Old Master Yorks immediately shifted his gaze to Chloe, Sandra, and Judy. "The three of you, if you don't want to die, hurry up and hide." Chloe and Sandra were not fully aware of the impending danger. They looked at each other. Chloe was relaxed as she said, "Dad,
Grand Old Master Yorks had a lump in his throat. "I know you hate your mother, you hate her for hurting you and Angeline endlessly. Your mother went too far this time. It’s more than fair that you’re angry at her. She’s getting the punishment that she deserves. Your father wants to leave her and I’ve been ignoring her. She has had a very difficult life during this period. It’s what she deserves and she can’t blame anyone." Jay sneered and said, "Punishment that she deserves?" His slender body approached Grand Old Master Yorks as he said in a harsh voice, "It’s not you who decides what punishment she should receive. That’s up for me to decide." "What do you want to do to her?" Grand Old Master Yorks asked fearfully. Grand Old Master Yorks was a giant who once set off destruction in the underworld. He was one who disregarded human life. At that moment, however, as he faced the irreconcilable clash between his beloved grandson and his daughter, he felt a great sense of powerle
One of the young men took out a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid. He unscrewed the lid and intended to pour it on Judy's face. Judy shuddered in horror. Jay was about to destroy her beautiful face that she had always taken pride in. "Please, don’t!" She was a martial artist. Suddenly, she jumped, and the concentrated sulfuric acid went down her back. "Help!" Judy cried out tragically. Sandra and Chloe were frightened out of their minds when they saw what happened to Judy. "No!" Sandra's ribs were broken. She lay down on the ground, suffering heart-piercing pain. One of the mercenaries stepped on Chloe’s hand. Her hand became bloody and mangled. Grand Old Master Yorks looked at the violent scene, his face as pale as a ghost. He tried to stop it but was not sure how. "It’s karma. The Yorks family have sinned far too much and this is payback!" he screamed. Grand Old Master Yorks, Spencer Yorks, and Jordan Ares looked at the tragedy unfold… but they could
