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
“What’s going on, Miss?”The servant opened the bedroom door and was dumbstruck when she saw the exquisite scene in the room.“Get out.” Yumi scoffed at the servant furiously.The servant proceeded to cover her eyes and hurried out.However, more and more people, including Yosemite and his wife, rushed to Yumi’s room upon being alarmed by her scream.Soon enough, Yumi’s room was surrounded by a crowd of people.The room’s door was locked, and the two people inside the room were fully clothed.Yumi glared at the man in front of her. “Who said you could come in here?”The man knelt in front of her and bowed his head, not daring to impose.“I’m sorry, Miss. It seems like I was confused last night.”Yumi trampled on his good-mannered heart. “Were you plotting to do something to me?”The man raised his head, stupefied. “I didn’t, Miss. Please believe me. I was obviously sleeping in my own room last night, but I don’t know what happened. When I woke up, I was already in Miss’ room
