Yosemite looked at his sweet daughter and back at Seth, who was continuously nodding his head. He could somewhat believe his daughter’s words.“In that case, find a time to get married as soon as possible. You’re not young anymore, Yumi. You can’t afford to stall it.” Yosemite knew that if the scandal was spread, the Titus family’s honor would be destroyed.It did not matter whether Yumi liked this hothead. Marriage was the best way to protect the Titus family.Personal profit before everything else was a businessman’s way.Sometimes, even a daughter’s happiness had to be sacrificed.Yumi nodded, yet the smile on her face quickly dimmed. Yosemite wanted to suppress this matter resolutely. “Although I don’t particularly like your family, Seth, since you and Yumi are in love with each other, I won’t be a hindrance. My daughter should still get married in a grandeur manner. I know that the Severe family is not at their prime, but even if a rich family is not as rich as they were be
Angeline opened the door and stood there, saying to Old Master Severe, “I promise you. After breakfast, I’ll go to Imperial Capital and get Sera back.”The old man only went downstairs to eat after Angeline’s concession.After breakfast, Angeline tried to fulfill her promise and drove to Imperial Capital’s Grand Asia Hospital.Sera stayed in Grand Asia after giving birth to the baby for nursing care. Her discharge date was probably in just a few days.Angeline went straight to the front desk of the inpatient department and inquired about Sera’s ward number.Jack Ares was truly generous toward Sera. Despite everything, he had arranged for the best VIP ward in Grand Asia for her.Angeline felt puzzled. Jack and Jay clearly did not see eye to eye, so how could he be willing to offer such a profitable ward for Sera? He would not have asked his father back for the fee, right?Angeline started to get a little nervous after getting out of the elevator.She did not want to see Jay at a
Angeline chuckled goofily. “What are you saying, Sir Ares? Not a day has gone by where I don’t dream of meeting you again.” Her exuberant smile ran a shiver down Jay’s spine. “I’ve reminded you before, Angeline Severe. Don’t involve yourself with shady men.” Jay’s tone grew dark. Angeline’s eyes widened in indignation. “As if I need you to remind me that, Sir Ares. My mother’s never allowed me to spend time with shady people ever since I was a child. Forget shady men, she wouldn’t even let me be around shady women.” “Are you still playing dumb?” Jay’s tone was dark. Angeline’s mind clicked, and she knew that she could no longer keep the situation under wraps. Quietly, she murmured, “What’s youth without stupid decisions, Sir Ares?” Hidden in her words was a jab at how Jay too had done the same when he was young. Her words reminded Jay of the things he had done when he was young and head over heels in love. Kissing her when she was down with a fever because he could no
Regardless, Angeline wore an expression of ignorant courage and spoke, “He doesn’t have a say in this.” Jay responded with an ‘if you may’ gesture. “Tell me how it goes.” Angeline was stunned at how easily he was letting her off. Had she known he would be all bark and no bite, she would not have spent the last few days constantly looking over her shoulder. Exiting Jay’s hospital room, Angeline was shocked to realize that Sera’s was right next to his. “What a coincidence.” Angeline sighed. What she did not know was that it was Jay’s intention, just so he would have the chance to see her. In Sera’s hospital room sat Jack’s first wife next to her bed, caringly feeding Sera chicken soup. Mockery danced over Angeline’s expression as she leaned against the doorframe. “Thank you for taking so much care of my sister, Madam.” Both the madam’s and Sera’s gazes turned to the door. Seeing Angeline, their expressions instantly turned to shock. Angeline continued, “Although, I’m
The madam’s panic was not lost to Angeline’s eyes. Kneeling on the floor, the madam picked up the shattered shards of porcelain. Angeline sighed. “I’ll process the documents for your discharge.” However, when Angeline returned from completing the discharge paperwork, she was met with the sight of Jack and his henchmen at the hospital room door. “I’m here to bring you home, Sera.” Now that his dirty secrets had been thrown into the light, Jack decided to forego his gentlemanly facade to blatantly take hold of Sera from Angeline. Sera remained quiet as she sat on the bed in complete disregard of the fight between Jack and Angeline. Like an abandoned puppet, she would follow whoever won. Angeline, as far as Jack was concerned, was only arrogant because she had Jay backing her up. Now that the two had separated and were on horrible terms, Jack paid her no attention. What he did not know was that Angeline was the type of person who worked better the stronger the pressure.
It seemed like he had to clean up the mess she made after all. He motioned Finn to pass him his laptop.Outside, Jack’s sinister tone sounded again. “I almost forgot that you’re a hacker, Angeline. Still, I never expected you to be able to break through Ares Enterprises’ internal network.” Jack felt extremely lucky, for he had finally gotten hold of Angeline’s Achilles heel. After all, if she could steal Ares Enterprises’ funds, she could also steal their classified documents. That would put Ares Enterprises in a passive position. Jack was dead set on forcing Angeline to a corner. “Just wait for a demand letter of a lawsuit, Angeline. I’m suing you for endangering my company’s profits.”Angeline was only concerned about where Sera would end up. “As per our agreement, Jack, I’ve already transferred a billion to your account. Shouldn’t you honor your words and let me bring my sister home now?” Jack’s expression looked constipated. Despite standing at the edge of danger, all A
Angeline could not help but feel jealous of the female doctor as her gaze fell on Jay’s slender long legs. She too wanted to admire his legs up close and touch them from time to time. Jay’s eyes fell on the small figure by the doorframe, her lovestruck gaze tinting his eyes with mirth. “Why are you back?” He pulled a long face. Angeline entered the room. She had not dared to ask him straight up as there were outsiders in the room. Rooted in place, she did not know where to put her eyes. Jay turned to the doctor. “Please leave us alone.” Following the doctor’s exit, Jay stared at Angeline. “How can I help you?” he asked despite already knowing the answer.Angeline stuttered slowly, “I… I’m here… to… uh… ask you… if you were the person who helped me—” Impatient, Jay interrupted her with an answer, “It was me.” Afraid that doing so would lead her on and allow her to dream, his chiseled features reverted to their habitual expression of indifference and unfamiliarity. “The te
The woman dove straight into Jay’s arms with a coquettish proclamation, “I missed you, Jay.” To which Jay cupped her cheek and replied lovingly with mirth in his eyes, “What took you so long?” Angeline was stricken by his gentleness with her, such gentleness that once belonged to her and only her. Yet right then, he was giving it to this woman in front of her instead. Angeline’s eyes blurred as she stood dazedly in place. After a passionate round of hugging with Jay did the woman finally acknowledge Angeline. The tall woman walked over to Angeline. Her enchanting figure coupled with the energetic spirit in her eyes crushed Angeline’s short-statured presence. “Is this chick your little ex-girlfriend, Jay?” Jay nodded. “Yeah.” “Other than her face, I don’t see much else of her that’s of appeal.” Angeline’s emotions jumped between anger and humiliation. It was just that the boxy clothing she wore happened to hide her figure. “What interesting taste you used to have
