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
It was four o’clock in the morning when Cole returned to the mountain villa. When he opened the door and entered, Carson was standing behind him like a ghost.“Are you heading out or are you just coming back, Young Master?” Carson rubbed his eyes sleepily. His voice was akin to a ghost that was crawling out of an ancient well.Cole shoved the coat in his hand into Carson’s arms. Then, he sat down on the sofa in the living room with a darkened face. He picked up the hip flask on the coffee table and began to gulp the contents down.Carson walked over. “Who made you this unhappy, Young Master?”Cole swallowed a mouthful of liquor, and the corners of his lips curled up in anger.“That damned woman, Angeline Severe, actually rejected me after I went all the way there to present myself!” Cole scoffed angrily.Carson’s jaw dropped in astonishment.Did he hear him right? His young master went out wanting to frolic with that woman in the dead of night but was rejected instead?Cole p
“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
