Angeline opened her eyes and saw Jay glaring at her, rays of cold light emanating from his pupils.“What are you doing?” he chided her with a gloomy tone.Angeline was shocked and looked at him with puppy eyes. She had a pitiful look on her face.Jay did not want to look at her for even a second more for fear that he would be entrapped in that soft and gentle gaze of hers.He promptly opened the door. “Finn.”Finn dragged the man over, kicked his stomach, and commanded, “Kneel.”Jay interrogated the man with an ashen expression on his face. “Who sent you here?”The man was stumped. He looked at the man in the wheelchair. He had thought that he was nothing more than a cripple. He would never have thought that he had an aura of a noble and was unlike any ordinary man.Not to mention that his aide looked like a mere bookworm. He was surprised that he was that skilled in martial arts.Perhaps they had messed with the wrong people today.“Who are you guys?” he asked Finn.“The cr
Angeline let out a weak sigh.“Although I hate the Titus family a lot, you shouldn’t involve innocent people, Sir Ares–” Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed Jay glaring at her with a sharp gaze.She went silent.Jay sighed weakly too. Angeline was so naive. How could he not be worried about her?Finn saw that the air around them both was getting cold and awkward, so he interrupted and said, “Miss Severe, does your wound need attention?”Jay replied, “Go and get her wounds wrapped up.”Angeline refused. “No need. It’s not serious. It’s just a little flesh wound.”Jay glanced over to her arm which was already red and roared. “Just do as I say and stop babbling.”Was he worried about her?Angeline muttered, “I’ll go then. No need to get that angry.”After an hour, Finn returned to the car alone. Jay looked at Finn, his handsome face ashen. “Where’s Angeline?”Finn shrugged. “Miss Severe doesn’t want to anger you anymore, so she called a cab and left.”Jay’s g
It was unexpected for George. Jay and Angeline had such a deep and profound relationship with one another. How could they have broken up?The young couple was perhaps throwing tantrums.George said in a pained tone, “You kept repeating that you want to revitalize the Severe family’s name, yet take a look at what you’ve done? Even if Sera was wrong, the family’s dirty laundry shouldn’t be publicized. You didn’t prevent Mr. Ares from taking revenge on her, and now the Severe family’s honor is ruined. How do we win back the trust we’ve lost in the future?”Angeline smiled sourly. “It was her fault. Why should I help her pretend that everything’s going swell?”George was at the end of his tether. “You… She’s your little sister.”Angeline looked at her silent mother on the side and glanced at Anne and her father, who was sitting overbearingly on the sofa.She suddenly sneered, “Is she my sister? Dad, you abandoned Mom and built a whole new family with another woman. All your clothes i
Old Master Severe had made the final decision. Hence, George and Anne had nothing to say in retort.Angeline thought to herself, ‘Jack Ares is now the person in charge of Ares Enterprises, so he’s acting arrogant and domineering. He doesn’t even care about Jay, not to mention the Severe family.‘What can Grandfather do to force Jack Ares to let Sera go?’Once George and Anne left, Old Master Severe called Angeline into the study.He said somewhat bluntly, “I know that you hate her, Angeline. But the family’s dirty laundry truly shouldn’t be publicized. If our Severe family wants to regain its strength and glory, the family’s nobility and honor cannot be destroyed. Otherwise, how would we win back people’s hearts in the future?”Angeline felt like she had a déjà vu. “Grandfather, do you want me to go forth and negotiate with the Ares family?”Old Master Severe nodded. “You’re the only one who can do this.”Angeline refused. “I can’t.”The old man stared at her, while Angeline fo
Cole moved to the study. This room of his did not have many books, but it displayed all sorts of weird weapons.Cole sat on the revolving high chair, and his eyes fell on the sculpture on the desk. It was a plaster sculpture that he got up and kneaded last night after failing to fall asleep.Then, Carson came in and saw that his young master was staring at the plaster sculpture in a daze. When he looked at the statue again, he noticed that it was a beautiful woman with long hair, a big pair of eyes, and a high nose bridge. Carson was stunned. He admitted that the girl portrayed in this sculpture was indeed beautiful, but the young master had seen thousands if not tens of thousands of stunning women. The facts had proven that the young master was always a cold man.He absolutely had no feelings for any woman.However...Carson rubbed his eyes. ‘Did I see it wrong? The young master’s eyes when he’s looking at this sculpture are clearly different from when he looks at any other wom
Carson screamed in agony. “Did you run into a con woman, Young Master? 100 billion! That’s the financial resources that the top giants of Imperial Capital have. Even a wealthy family like the Ares family and Grand Asia’s owner is only worth a few hundred billion.”Cole said nonchalantly, “The Yorks are trillionaires. Why should we care about this small change?”Carson beat his chest, suffocated. “Still, money shouldn’t be spent this way, Young Master. If you have to go out and look for girls, tell them that a kiss is worth 100 million. Think of how many girls would line up just for you.”Cole thought about the scene and suddenly felt sick to his stomach once more.“How can Angeline even be compared to those other vulgar fans?” Cole scoffed.Carson could not fathom the feeling of love and asked, “I do wonder how stunning this woman truly is that you’re willing to spend this much money on her?”Cole patted him on the shoulder. “I’ll take you to see her on another day. First, you ha
The night was quiet.Angeline lay on the bed as she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.Her grandfather’s words to her during the day made her fall into entanglement and conflict.Grandfather hoped that she would put aside her resentment and accept Anne as her family to expand the Severe family’s social status. The old man’s heart was actually in the right place.However, she could not come to terms with it since she despised Anne for stealing her father. Now, her mother had to be all alone. She also detested Sera for fawning over Jay. Subconsciously, she always felt that Jay belonged to her. It was a disgraceful behavior on Sera’s part to covet her brother-in-law. It was simply impossible for her to bear no ill-feelings and accept them into the family whole-heartedly.Then, she heard a sigh amidst the night.Angeline heard the sound and got up as she sat in shock.She focused her ears to make sure that she had not heard it wrong. Did someone heave a sigh outside the window?
Angeline absent-mindedly answered, “Because there’s a feral kitty in Mommy’s room.”“A feral kitty?”Angeline dozed off and slowly closed her eyes.Jenson’s eagle-like eyes shot a sharp cold light. He got up and put his shoes on, then went into the next room.Cole looked at the little bun who walked in and asked disappointedly, “Where’s your mommy, little guy?”Jenson ignored him, simply going straight to the bed and laying down.Cole, “...”“Daddy just asked you something. Why didn’t you answer?”“Are you planning to be our stepfather?” Jenson started to talk languidly. There was stiffness in his tone. Cole lay beside Jenson. “Yes. When I marry your mommy, you’ll be my son.”Jenson said, “Don’t blame me for being straight, but if you become my stepfather, we won’t use your money. Henceforth, when you’re older, we won’t be providing you any support as well.”Cole, “...”“Well, aren’t you being heartless?”“It’s already very polite of me for not bringing you into the fores
