At the time, Old Master Severe thought that Jay’s worries were unnecessary and vowed solemnly to him, "Don’t worry, Jay. Although George has another family out there, I won’t allow him to let them step into our family’s threshold as long as I live."His vow still rang in his ears.A shameful look emerged on Old Master Severe's face."Jay, Severe Enterprise is left with no choice but to make the decision to support Sera. Angeline is lovesick and has no intention of running the company. If we hand over Severe Enterprise to her, even I will be worried, let alone her father," Old Master Severe explained his current predicament.A charming sneer emerged in Jay’s hawk-like eyes. "Old Master Severe, we’re both wise folks, so there’s really no need to give all these high-sounding mendacious statements."After a pause, he continued, "I know that you’re in poor health and that there’s no use for me to discuss this with you now that your son is in power. I think I should just talk to your so
Jay stared at George and said faintly, "You seem very impatient don’t you, Mr. Severe?"Jay was clearly just a guest, but his proud and arrogant bearing made him look more like an emperor looking scornfully at all living beings. He was looking down at George as though George was nothing but an insect in his eyes.This upset the lofty and superior Severe family members greatly. Did Jay think that he was still the young master of Imperial Capital who ruled the whole world? Did he not see how terribly he had fallen off the pedestal lately due to the fall in his net worth?He no longer held power in Ares Enterprises, whereas Grand Asia was pressured and blacklisted by major tycoons. More importantly, he could no longer use both his legs.Here he was, refusing to accept the current predicament he was in. He was on the brink of ruin with no hopes of freeing himself from this impossible situation.… Nevertheless, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse. A wealthy man who had beco
His nose that was originally high up in the air had lowered greatly as well. When he spoke again, he sounded way more modest now. "Master Ares, as you know, ever since Angeline got into a car accident, my father was bedridden and the Severe family has been going downhill since then. Things haven’t been quite as efficient in recent years, so I won’t be able to take out so much money in such a short period of time. Can you please give me some time, Master Ares?"George might have ulterior motives for bringing up Angeline.He was trying to hint at Jay, asking him not to forget about the relationship he and Angeline shared.Even so, he was just a mediocre man. How could he possibly understand the sorrows in Jay's heart?Jay casually said, "I heard that Mr. Severe owns a villa on Apple Street that’s located at an auspicious location. Since we’ve been acquainted for so many years, I’ll be honest with you. I like your villa and am willing to purchase it at three times the market price. Wh
Jay's eyes chilled abruptly.Had he not witnessed it with his own eyes, so he never would have believed that George Severe would cast Angeline aside in front of so many people like old shoes and speak to her so harshly.Jay grasped the wheelchair's armrest firmly and a few cracks were heard.Old Master Severe's gaze fell on Jay's hands. Veins were seen popping out from the force, and a hint of worry filled his eyes.His worries were right. The next moment, Jay's gloomy voice was heard. "What do you expect Ms. Angeline to learn from Ms. Sera, Mr. Severe? To learn how to seduce me shamelessly like her? To learn how to fall into my dad’s embrace when she fails to seduce me? Ms. Sera alone is capable enough to make my father and I turn against each other, and now you’re asking Ms. Angeline to be a vixen too, Mr. Severe? Tsk."He shook his head slightly and sighed, criticizing the way Mr. Severe educated his children.Jay was someone who disliked talking about his scandal, but after s
The only reason he was being so uncompromising was that he no longer had any feelings for her. She shook her head, not wanting to continue to make wild guesses.She had decided to sever all ties with him after all.The decisions he made had nothing to do with her.Now that Anne had called out Angeline’s name and said so much to her, it would seem a tad rude if Angeline did not reply to her.What was more, everyone in the house was staring at her like she would feel very sorry if she did not voice out.Angeline said, her voice as soft as a mosquito, "I’ve resigned from my position as Severe Enterprise’s executive president. From now on, I have nothing to do with Severe Enterprise’s development."George was slightly startled.He did not mean to really expel Angeline from Severe Enterprise. Although he did intend to make Sera the executive president, he had already planned to assign a slightly lower position to Angeline.He was only trying to make her angry at first and let her kn
Jay's wheelchair had already been wheeled to the main entrance. His long and straight back paused slightly, but he did not turn around. A cold and unsympathetic voice fell into the old master’s ears. "I’m sure you know why I’m here today, Old Master Severe."He did not say anything else after that.Finn wheeled Jay away resolutely.After Jay left, Anne started yammering and whining, "Who does he think he is? He’s nothing but a lame man, isn’t he? Now that he has lost favor in the Ares family and lost his status as the head of the Ares family, his net worth has dropped to about the same level as Jack."Since Sera could not win Jay’s heart, what was left in her was only hatred. "Hmph, you’re already doing him a great favor for putting him on par with Jack. Ares Enterprises is now in a favorable and advantageous situation with allies such as the Bell Enterprise and Titus Enterprise. It’s at the height of its power. He, however, was forsaken by his friends and allies. Grand Asia will g
After Old Master Severe’s admonishment, Anne felt so guilty that she dropped her head so low that it was almost touching the ground.Old Master Severe said, "Master Ares is right. Ignorants know no fear indeed. How could you naively think that Master Ares would be defeated by the likes of Jack? Who do you think Master Ares is? He founded Grand Asia at the age of 15, using only five years to make Grand Asia the first giant monopoly company in Imperial Capital. This is something that Jack and his likes can never achieve, yet he did so in just five short years. What makes you think that Jack will win this time?”Old Master Severe added, "Ares Enterprises has stopped supplying chips to Grand Asia, but there’s been negligence on Jack’s part. Jay has been in charge of Ares Enterprises for so many years, hence there’s probably a seamless integration between Grand Asia and Ares Enterprises by now. At the very least, Grand Asia's patented technology is powerful enough to impose sanctions on A
As the villa in Apple Street was acquired by Jay, Anne and the family were forced to move into the Severe family’s residence instead.Lady Severe had already cleared the rooms on the third floor, but when Anne took a tour around the third floor, she started yammering and complaining with her hands on her hips."George, the third floor is too hot. Sera has just suffered a stillbirth and is still very weak. What are you going to do if she has a heat stroke?"George looked at Sera as she stood on one side obediently. He noticed that she did look quite pale and felt worried when he saw that the baby fat on her face had been shed off.Therefore, George approached Lady Severe and said earnestly, "Quinella, Sera has just suffered a stillbirth, and I’m sure you know that she’s at her weakest right now. Why don’t you talk to Angeline and ask her to exchange rooms with Sera?"Lady Severe's face clouded at once. "Angel is also in poor health lately. You only care about your youngest daughter
