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
Only then did Jay know that Angeline had woken up. He was very surprised and immediately took Angeline over from Jens. Angeline nestled her head limply on his shoulder. Jay was moved and said, "Angeline, I'm fine." After giving Jenson a sideways glance, Jay left in a hurry with Angeline. Jenson walked into Fragrant Vessel Court. When he saw Chloe, Sandra, and Judy lying in a pool of blood and trying to catch their breaths, he said indifferently, "It seems that I arrived a little too early." They thought that they would be liberated with Jay gone. However, when they heard Jenson's cold and merciless words, their hearts fell into despair once again. Jenson was clear-headed and more ruthless than Jay. How would he let them off so easily? Jenson thought about it for a moment and said, "Lock them up. Get a doctor to attend to their injuries." Everyone was surprised and heaved sighs of relief. Jenson continued, "If they die, they can no longer serve as Daddy's punc
“Madam Angeline, do you have any last words?” The man showed Angeline mercy and gave her the chance to breathe in some air. Angeline pondered upon it for a while and said, “In the past, I only wished for my family’s peace and my children’s health. Right now, I hope that my children will be able to achieve all of their dreams. I hope that Jens will be able to revitalize our family’s business. I hope that Baby Zetty’s wish for there to be no more pain and suffering in the world comes true. I hope that Baby Robbie’s wish for there to be no more separations in families comes true as well.” The man was stunned. The gun in his hands tilted slightly. “Madam Angeline, wealthy people like you live luxurious lives that are free of worries. How would you ever understand the suffering of ordinary people like us? You didn’t mean anything you said to me just now, right?” Angeline said, “I’m about to die. Why would I lie to you? Although I’m from a wealthy family, I’m also a mother. I love
Angeline said, “Although Jens is young, Whitty isn’t at a ripe age anymore. Whitty has waited for Jens for so many years. She should get something in return.” Sir Ares remained silent. However, there was still an unpleasant expression on his face.Upon catching sight of the expression on Sir Ares’ face, Whitty immediately said, “Daddy, Mommy, Jens and I aren’t in a rush to get married. Jens has decided to get married after having a stable career.”Sir Ares seemed to calm down. Jenson stood up and told Sir Ares, “Daddy, I’d like to marry Whitty.” Sir Ares cast a sideway glance at him and asked, “What’s the reason behind your decision to do so?” Jenson said, “I love her.” Sir Ares’ lips upturned slightly. Not only did Jens’ personality resemble that of his, but his outlook on love was similar to his as well.Upon recalling how persistent he was while pursuing Angeline when he was young, Sir Ares knew that he could not stop Jenson.The relationship between father and son w
Sir Ares stared at Angeline speechlessly. At this moment, their memorable love flashed across his mind. He had once loved someone so deeply. He could go against his parents for her as well. Sir Ares sighed and said, “You really can’t keep your children by your side once they’re all grown up.” Angeline stared at the dispirited man before her. Her heart hurt for him. She reached out to hold his hand. Sir Ares smiled at her as she warmed up his hands. He said in an understanding tone, “Angeline, you’re still the best.” Angeline smiled and said, “Of course, I’m the best. That’s because I’m the only person who will stay by your side till the very end. Gale is such an existence for Angel, and Finn is such an existence for Baby Zetty as well.” Sir Ares said, “Alright, stop teasing me. I got it.” Yes, love was above anything else in the world. That was the tradition of the Ares family. Sir Ares was madly in love with Angeline. However, when it came to others, he felt that
However, when Angeline found out about Grayson and Andy’s marriage, she insisted on holding a grand wedding for them.Angeline and Sir Ares called Andy before them. Angeline spoke up in a touched voice, “Andy, I’ve always treated you like my biological daughter. Now that you’re getting married, I’ll marry you off just like you’re my daughter.” Angeline handed a set of jewelry, a bank card, and a key to Andy. She said, “Andy, although Baby Zetty is married, we didn’t hold a grand wedding for her. I don’t know how other families marry off their daughters. Since you’re a girl, you’ll feel secure after having your own property. You’ll have your own freedom after having your own car. You’ll take the effort to dress up after having your own jewelry.” Andy cried tearfully, “Thank you, Mommy.”Angeline hugged Andy and patted her back as she said, “Don’t cry. You must come back often to visit in the future.” “Alright.” After Angeline finished speaking, Sir Ares stared and Grayson an
Whitney handed the envelope over to Andy and said, “Miss Laurel asked me to hand this to you.” Andy slowly opened the envelope under the sisters’ curious gazes. A red spider lily specimen fell out of the envelope.Tears filled Andy’s eyes when she saw it.The sisters all burst into tears. Whitney said, “I don’t know what meaning it holds for you, but I guess Laurel wants to convey something to all of you since she wanted me to hand it to you. Have you understood what she wants to tell you?”Andy cried out loud, “This is the blood oath that we made at the military intelligence division. When we swore to be sisters, Sis Daisy mentioned that although our fates were predetermined in this lifetime and we don’t get to decide how long we’ll be able to live, we can wait for the sisters in the afterlife after death. We must wait for everyone to gather before reincarnation. We can then be reincarnated as sisters in our next life.” Whitney was touched by this beautiful oath. She teared
Jenson then ordered the servants to search every nook and cranny of Tourmaline Estate and Imperial Capital. Baby Robbie seemed to have vanished into thin air. There was no sign of him anywhere.Sir Ares sighed after hearing the news. Angeline gave up after the long search. She told Jenson, “Don’t look for him. He’s all grown up now. We can’t restrain him anymore. Don’t waste more human and physical resources searching for him. Manage Tourmaline Estate well. You and Whitty will have to take responsibility for this household in the future.” Jenson stared into his mommy’s calm eyes. Although he was curious as to why his mommy, who loved her son more than her own life, could react so calmly to his disappearance, he kept that question in his heart. “Yes, mommy.” After leaving Chateau de Selene, Jenson returned to his room in an upset mood. Whitty walked into his room with a cup of hot tea and placed it in his hands gently. “Jens, you’ve been busy every day lately. You must look af
Baby Robbie nodded sternly. After Angeline’s health recovered a little, Baby Robbie paid her a visit at once. His face no longer gave out a childish air. His handsome face exuded a sharpness that resembled that of his father’s.Angeline knew that Baby Robbie would be filled with guilt for the rest of his life after this incident. She also knew that he would change his habit of fooling around and not thinking before acting. “Mommy, it’s all my fault. If I didn’t blindly believe in her, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to damage Tourmaline Estate,” Baby Robbie said. He was filled with self-guilt. Angeline said, “Baby Robbie, I know what you’re thinking. I’m having the same thoughts right now.” ”Baby Robbie was stunned. He glanced evaluatively at the weak and exhausted expression on his mommy’s face. Somehow, Baby Robbie felt upset on behalf of his mommy. It turned out that he was not the only one who did not have a good eye for people. His mommy was in the same boat as we
Jenson decided to rebuild Tourmaline Estate with the underlying theme of ‘remembrance’. Baby Robbie fell silent after looking through the design plans.“Jens, do you think that I’ve committed a huge sin?” He suddenly voiced out his thoughts. Jenson shook his head and said, “Baby Robbie, you didn’t want any of this to happen. However, you should’ve learned your lesson by now. You can’t be kind to everyone at all times.” Baby Robbie nodded and said, “I didn’t understand the meaning behind these words in the past. I get it now.” Jenson was stunned. After Baby Robbie left Jenson’s place, he paid a visit to Angel’s courtyard. Angel was now around seven years old. She was extremely tall and mentally mature. Therefore, she did not seem like a child at all. “Brother, I heard that you haven’t been in a good mood lately. I wanted to look for you since some time ago. However, look at the state that I’m in. How can I go out?” She waved her sleeves slightly. The furniture within the
Sir Ares stared at Sis Thirteen coldly. His gaze was devoid of the fatherly love that he had always shown her.“I knew that you had a hidden motive when you moved into the Ares family back then. However, I didn’t expect you to be so evil and have such a cruel heart at such a young age. Angeline’s love and adoration toward you didn’t warm your heart at all. To me, you’re not just a traitor. You don’t have a heart at all.” Sis Thirteen stared at Sir Ares in shock. Sir Ares’ scoldings seemed to help her better perceive herself. “You hurt my father. You hurt my daddy. That’s why I steeled my heart and decided to take revenge on the Ares family,” she cried out loud. Sir Ares said in a harsh tone, “Karma exists in the world. Why would I hurt him if he didn’t abduct my children? You don’t have the ability to discern right and wrong. You’re just making excuses for yourself. Do you think you’re being reasonable right now?” Sis Thirteen shook her head in devastation. “I only know that
