Grayson followed them out the corridor in dejection. Among the blind, the one-eyed man was king! Jack immediately dropped his facade to order the administrator. “Administrator, give me the documents to discharge my child. I want to move hospitals!” Grayson closed his eyes hopelessly. However, right at that moment, the elevator doors suddenly opened. Rose-scented perfume permeated the air, attracting all eyes around the place. A black stiletto took the first step out with an oppressive aura, followed by a beautiful figure in a red one-piece dress. Despite the enchanting outfit and the black tulle that covered her face mysteriously, the overpowering aura she gave off had not been deterred as it cut through the atmosphere anyway. Members of law enforcement made an unconscious move to the walls, allowing her a wide road to strut upon. However, she stopped right in front of Grayson and shook her head disappointingly as she took in his ashen appearance. Then, she lifted the c
“She can’t be Angeline Severe, though?” Jack howled suddenly. “Angeline Severe died nine years ago.” The law enforcement officers shared a suspicious look, their gazes fleeting between Jack and Angeline. “One of the two of you are lying.” Jack pointed at Angeline. “It’s her. She’s the liar. She’s not Angeline Severe. You can check her files, officer.” Right as the law enforcement officer took out his phone to enlist the help of another department, Angeline quickly stepped up to interrupt. Approaching Mr. Carter who stood next to Jack, Angeline reached for the transparent file in his hands. She took out a marriage certificate and handed it to the officer. “I’ll cut you some trouble. Take a look at the date on my husband and I’s marriage certificate. That should tell you if I’m the Ares family’s daughter-in-law or not.” Then, she opened to show the first page of the certificate where the law enforcement officers could see the beautiful smile of a lady with bright eyes. She
Seeing Old Master Severe, Jack immediately approached with a fake smile plastered on his face. “Quick, Uncle Severe, look at this woman who’s pretending to be your precious granddaughter. Just look at her. How could she be your granddaughter?” Old Master Severe lifted his head to look at Angeline who was in front of him. Angeline could not help but weep tears of joy as she watched her grandfather move his head freely by himself while both his hands held the handrests of the wheelchair. “Grandfather.” She approached slowly to kneel before Old Master Severe with tears in her eyes. Old Master Severe reached out a shaky hand to caress her restored cheek as old tears began to trickle from his eyes. “Does it hurt?” Perhaps for a man such as Old Master Severe who had experienced so much of life, it took more than appearance alone for him to identify a person, for a person’s eyes told much more. Angeline’s appearance had been hideous two years ago. She may have spent every day smil
What was once unparalleled elegance was left a rebellious mess. Angeline stared at him in shock as tears continued to fall freely. She was so overwhelmed by her emotions that she ended up needing to muffle her mouth with her hand so that her sobs were no longer audible. She ended up spending 18 hours with him, watching him quietly without a sip of water or a bite of food. The doctor had urged her numerous times, but he always received the same uneasy reply from Angeline. “Let me stay with him for a little longer.” She had never thought to listen to him in this lifetime. He would think of plans to tie her to him, while she would come up with excuse after excuse to leave him. Perhaps he would not have had to suffer such an ambush if it were not for her stubborn and impulsive behavior. Even if there was no escaping the ambush, she would at least have been by his side, and he would not have to walk this path alone. The effects of the anesthetic began to wear off, and Jay fel
“I want to see Grayson.” Jay was not one to waste his energy on something so pointless. If his legs would not heal, then he would accept it as it is. There were more important things to do at that moment. The doctor relayed the president’s message to Grayson, who quickly entered the hospital room in question. “I want to be discharged.” Grayson’s eyes widened at the president’s request. “Right now, Mr. President? The doctor says your legs still need to be treated. You’re also due for a long period of physical therapy post-treatment.” Jay may be physically weak that moment, but the sharp glint in his eyes had not dulled at all as he fired a death glare at Grayson. “Why do you find the need to waste such priceless time on something that would potentially give no results?” Grayson replied, “We’ve got to at least try, Mr. President.” “Grayson!” Jay shouted fiercely, “Are you defying orders now?” Grayson sighed in frustration. “No, Sir. That’s not what I meant.”“Then get to
Angeline Severe began to persuade Grayson through both logical and emotional means. “You see, Grayson, this boss of yours might look unapproachable with his indifferent expression and all, but I understand him the most. He’s not as unfeeling as he looks. In fact, he cares greatly and worries a lot for all of you.” Angeline’s words reached the deeper ends of Grayson’s heart. The president may be extremely stern with them, but he was respectful and they had learned much from him. While he appeared cold-blooded to outsiders, the untouchable expression had always just been a facade he kept up when it came to his subordinates.Angeline even added just for good measure, “I do wonder sometimes if the reason behind his reticence is due to an undeveloped mentality since a young age. He may give you the illusion that he’s very fierce, but I promise you it’s all bark and no bite. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Have courage and go in, Grayson.” Grayson’s eyes widened. He was internall
“I don’t care who it is. I want to discharge and no one will stop me.” A pair of angry bloodshot eyes glared sharply at Grayson. “You’ll sign the documents for a discharge if you want to keep your job.” Utterly shocked, Grayson quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, of course, Mr. President. I’ll get right to it.” Grayson scrambled out of the room and was met face-to-face with Angeline. “How’d it go? Did the president change his mind?” Shock remained on Grayson’s face as he shook his head dazedly. “The president has made his choice, Missus. There’s nothing I can do.” Looking at Angeline, Grayson pleaded pitifully, “The president has always listened to you, Missus. I’m sure he’ll change his mind if you’re the one persuading him.”Angeline felt herself waver. “What a stubborn mule. Why won’t he listen to reason? Maybe I should persuade him instead?” Grayson exhaled a sigh of relief. Slowly, Angeline approached the hospital room’s door. Despite it only being a few steps’ worth of dis
The hospital door began to creak, sounding almost as if someone had taken a constipated fart. It was one with stagnation. Jay frowned in distaste. The agitation he felt was increasing by the moment. Sending a cold and impatient glare at the room’s door, he watched the finger-wide gap screech as it slowly opened up. After a long while only did it finally widen to a palm’s width. Jay felt his mood slowly worsen with the torturous creaks of the door. Forcibly, he suppressed the rage boiling within and waited with an ungodly amount of patience for the person opening the door. He was going to repay the person for their torment. At that moment, an unexpected hand in white surgical gloves appeared in the gap. Its small size suggested its feminine gender. Jay immediately confirmed that it was a care worker. He moved his eyes to stare at the ceiling, his more defined side profile shining with despondence. Entering the room softly, Angeline found Jay lying on the bed with bot
“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
