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
Old Master Severe rubbed his forehead after Cole left. “Does this mean that you and Jay Ares are done?” he asked tentatively. Angeline nodded. “Yes.” Old Master Severe was shocked. He understood what his granddaughter’s virtues were. Ever since she was a child, she had been crazy over Jay. Jay had pampered her so much and carefully taken care of her infatuation for him, which was why she had not become a running joke. They had been so deeply in love. How could they just split apart? “Can you really let him go?” Old Master Severe felt uncomfortable. Angeline and Jay were a perfect match for each other. If it were not for the current situation, he secretly hoped that they could end up together. Angeline said with conviction, “I gave him my life, but he only trampled on my dignity and decency. I can’t let him hurt me like this, no matter how much I love him.” She smiled brightly at Old Master Severe. “Don’t worry Grandpa. From today onward, I won’t waste my time on datin
Jay had never experienced such emotions. “Do you know who he is?” he asked. Finn became much more talkative when the man’s identity was mentioned. “It’s odd, the man seems to be a foreigner. We couldn’t get his information no matter how we tried. However, judging from his appearance, he must be well to do.” Jay raised his eyes to meet Finn’s gaze, his eyes shining profoundly. Finn had always been a meticulous person. If even he could not find out who the man was, that meant he was a suspicious figure. “Did Old Master Severe reject his proposal?” Jay asked gloomily. Finn replied honestly, “For some reason, Old Master Severe didn’t give him an outright rejection. He merely said that Miss Severe should think it through herself.” Jay’s eyes bulged in shock as he stared at Finn. He said in disbelief, “What did you say?” Old Master Severe knew that he had not given up on Angeline. Why had he not given the man’s proposal an outright rejection? Grayson was furious. “What does
The expression on Jay’s handsome face immediately turned into a furious one. How dare she worship celebrities behind his back? Jay looked at how his son was dressed and no longer thought that he looked dashingly adorable. Instead, he seemed to be in the way. He did not give his two sons any mercy as he said, “Ugly.” Jenson rolled his eyes in frustration at Baby Robbie. In an accusatory tone, he said, “No one asked you to talk so much.” Baby Robbie felt aggrieved. How was he to know that Daddy was so against Mommy’s idols? Then, angered, Baby Robbie teased his dad. “No manners at all.” Jay was ready to slap his sons. With a ferocious expression on his face, he ordered, “All of you stay at home. Daddy will bring Mommy home.” “I bet that Mommy won’t come home if you don’t bring us along,” Baby Robbie said. “Don’t jinx it,” Jenson said, before taking his leave discreetly. Baby Robbie continued giving suggestions. “Daddy, there’s only one way to get Mommy’s forgiveness. Yo
Angeline packed up the documents on the desk, then held the folder with her left hand and walked toward the door.Jay's wheelchair was blocking the door.His eyes never moved away from her figure while Angeline remained indifferent. "Please move,” she said to Jay politely.Jay looked at her directly. His dark eyes were filled with intense unwillingness.How did Angeline and he get to this point?They were worse than strangers.His gaze then fell on her bandaged arm, and no emotions could be heard in his tone of voice when he asked, "Is your arm okay?”Angeline smiled calmly and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Sir Ares. It's not a big problem for me.”She was calling him ‘Sir Ares’ again.She called him that way when their relationship was at its worst.Angeline's face was stern and cold, but she was not as calm as she looked.After Jay got his haircut, he had a fresher look. His flowy black hair fit well with his palm-sized face. It made his star and moon-like eyes
“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
