Angeline was fast asleep when a commotion was heard outside. Angeline jolted upright. Ripping the needle from the infusion bag out of her arm, she stumbled down the stairs. This was her first time out of the bedroom. The mansion was designed like a castle from Medieval times. The walls, made from majestic, natural marble, had numerous vintage drawings carved into them. One who was knowledgeable in the field would realize that there were many unique symbols incorporated within. The castle felt old and mysterious to Angeline. It was difficult for her to imagine that a man as young and regal as him would have such an old-fashioned taste in buildings. When she arrived at the lower floor, she pushed open the door to the back garden. There, in the middle of the pen where the small animals were raised, she saw the insufferable man battling against a bunch of chickens. He chased after the escaping chickens. Feathers scattered all over the pen, causing the dogs nearby to bark in exc
The man felt insulted. “Did you just call me useless?” His eyes turned hostile. Angeline nodded. “Aren’t you?” Her gaze met with his crowd of male servants. “You need so many servants to serve you. Isn’t that useless of you?” The man was shocked. Angeline took the chickens, which had been prepared according to instructions, to the kitchen and added them to the pot before seasoning them with spices. Then, she went upstairs to tend to her wounds. Although she had used her good arm to butcher the chickens, she had used her full-body strength to wield the knife. This had caused her wounds to open and bleed again. Soon, the aroma of chicken soup spread through the house. When Mrs. Zimmer was about to serve the soup to Angeline, the man said abruptly, “Let me try.” He did not believe that such a beautiful woman would be able to cook. Mrs. Zimmer passed him a small bowl of soup. When he took an elegant sip, the fragrance of the soup left him feeling refreshed and relaxed.
She wanted to forget about Jay Ares.Whenever she thought about him, her heart hurt so much that it felt difficult for her to breathe. Cole declared in a domineering way, “You’ve already died once because of him. Consider your life returned. Now, your life belongs to me because I’m the one who rescued you.”Angeline had become used to Cole’s self-asserting, bullying personality. At first, she would have argued with him, but she soon realized that even if she talked until she became dehydrated, he would still do as he pleased. She might as well let him be.Cole said, “I’ll bring you home once I’m done with my current affairs at hand.” Angeline was slightly panicked. This man acted like he was about to kidnap her. She was still weak, and her phone was lost. Without a penny on her, she did not know how she could sneak away. If the man was to take her and leave Imperial Capital, she was done for. Seeing how her expression had changed, he smiled gently and reached out to ruff
“I don’t want to.” Angeline did not want him to stalk her. Cole replied, “If you don’t use this phone, I have no choice but to have them shadow you tomorrow. It’s your choice.” An image of the guards downstairs surfaced in Angeline’s mind. Their faces were so stiff and unnatural as if they had all been injected with Botox. Angeline took the phone. She could throw the phone anywhere she liked, but it would be more difficult to get rid of the guards. Cole was elated to see her take the phone. Then, he began taking off his jacket. Angeline drew a shaky breath in and stopped him. “What are you doing?” Cole looked out of the window. “It’s dark. Time for bed.” Then, he sat down on the bed. Angeline fell off the bed in shock. Stunned, she sat on the floor and looked at Cole as she reprimanded him, “We’re not even married! No one said that I’d be sleeping with you.” Cole loosened his collar, exposing his sexy and attractive collarbones. “You won’t lose anything by sleeping
Angeline woke up early the next day. Her heart inexplicably leaped with joy when she remembered that Cole had promised to send her back to Imperial Capital today. When she thought hard about her source of joy, it seemed to be because Jay was in Imperial Capital. Angeline felt sad again. “He doesn’t like you anymore. You can’t think of him anymore. From today onward, you must forget about him. Even if he’s standing in front of you, you must pretend that he’s invisible. You can’t let him look down on you.” Kneeling by the fence, she used a finger to poke at the grass growing next to it. Cole saw her muttering to herself when he came out of the house. He had to listen for a while longer before he realized that she was forcing herself to draw boundaries between herself and the man. “Angeline, let’s go,” he called out while smiling. Angeline’s head drooped down as she walked toward him. “Why, are you afraid of seeing him?” He lit a cigarette and blew several clouds of smoke.
Angeline was dumbfounded. Cole laughed sheepishly. “You should know that I’m a perfectionist. I’m worried that I’ll be unable to kiss you if I know that you have any ugly scars on your body.” Angeline’s face grew red as she shifted aside. A warning expression on her face, she said, “You and I are impossible.” Cole sighed as he looked at the distance between them. “It has been hard for me, Cole Yorks, to find a woman I’m serious about. And yet, you dislike me.” The chauffeur’s face paled instantly as he began sweating profusely. Once in a while, he looked at Angeline through the back view mirror, in fear for her life. All women who rejected the young master did not have good things happen to them.Angeline did not realize that she had offended anyone and continued embarrassing Cole. “You can drop me off when we arrive at Imperial Capital. I’m familiar with the place and won’t get lost.” Cole stared at her speechlessly. “Are you that eager to get rid of me?”Angeline look
Half an hour later. Cole heard the alarm blaring from the tracking system in Angeline’s phone. However, when he found the phone that had been abandoned in a park, he could not see Angeline at all. He had no choice but to admit that Angeline had successfully escaped him. A bright smile surfaced on his handsome face. “Excellent, Angeline Severe. You have successfully attracted my attention. Don’t ever think of escaping me anymore in this life.” Angeline felt giddy with joy after she successfully escaped Cole Yorks. “I could even escape Jay Ares’ grasp. What are you compared to him?” Angeline hailed a taxi and returned to the Severe household in Swallow City. When the taxi driver pulled to a stop at the door, Angeline said, “Wait for me, I’ll go get money.” Then, she turned and ran toward the large courtyard in the Severe household. “Grandpa, Mom, I’m home.”Angeline stopped in her tracks, dumbfounded when she saw the regal man sitting on the couch in the living room.
Old Master Severe said angrily, “It’s not enough if you only have the ambition. You have to spend the time and effort in managing the Severe family’s company. Today, our biggest competitor is Bell Enterprise. They have severely reduced our market. You have to think of ways to attract our customers back to us and get the company back on track step by step.” Angeline knew that her bad track record was the reason her grandfather did not have faith in her ambition. As such, she straightened her back and asked for instructions from Old Master Severe. “Grandpa, give me a goal. I promise that I’ll achieve it.” When Old Master Severe realized that she was being serious, he said, “Two years. I want you to resume the production of smart chips within the Severe family. Also, dethrone Ares Enterprises as the leader in this field.” Angeline sneaked a look at Cole who was sitting relaxedly and thought to herself, ‘The chip in this man’s phone is so much more advanced than the one produced by A
“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
