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
Sera walked up to Angeline in a soft and gentle manner, flashing a humble, polite smile. "Thank you, Angeline."Angeline ignored her, then turned around and left.The sharp contrast in their attitudes made George dote on Sera more.Shirley and Lady Severe cooked lunch at noon. Anne and the rest had already sat on the table a long time ago, and when they saw the ordinary-looking delicacies, Anne started acting up again.“Quinella, the Severe family is different now. You should be frugal whenever you can when it comes to food. I’m afraid George won’t be able to pay your alimony in the future if you keep being so extravagant and wasteful."Angeline, who was helping Old Master Severe down the stairs, was infuriated when she heard what Anne said."My mother is very frugal normally. She prepared such a big feast only because you’re here today. Don't be so ungrateful." Angeline snapped."Besides, the food on this table isn’t bought using my dad’s money but mine. It’s alright if you’re
When the three munchkins got home from school, the first thing they did was to go to Mommy's room to let her know that they were home. However, when they came to Mommy's room, they did not see Mommy and instead saw Sera unpacking her luggage in the bedroom.Jenson's face turned ice-cold at once. "Why are you in my mommy's room?" Jenson questioned coldly.Sera glanced at the three children standing at the door and said, "This room will be mine from now on. Your mommy’s room will be on the top floor.""Who gave you the right to do so?" Baby Robbie asked grumpily.Sera walked to the door. When she saw Jens’ and Baby Robbie’s faces bearing a strong resemblance to Jay, her emotions were momentarily obscure. She said, "Because I’m the true missus of the Severe family. Your mommy doesn't deserve to stay in this room."Sera had always thought that eight-year-old children were not the least bit aggressive and that she would not be in any trouble even if she told them the truth.What she d
"I can't stay in this house anymore, George. None of the juniors are showing me any respect. I’m too embarrassed to live."George chided Angeline, "Hurry up and apologize to Aunt Anne."Baby Zetty yelled, "Why should Mommy apologize when she didn’t do anything wrong? Grandpa only cares about seniority and ranking instead of rights and wrongs. We, the juniors, should be the ones to say that we can no longer stay in this house anymore because we’ll only end up getting slapped by unreasonable seniors. We can’t even fight back even when we’re wronged. Sob, sob, sob, I don’t want to stay in this house. I want to go back to Imperial Capital. I want to go to Daddy."As Baby Zetty spoke, she covered her face and started crying.George glared at Angeline. "Is this how you educate your children?"Angeline said with a deadpan look on her face, "Baby Zetty is right."George was furious. "Angeline Severe, take your children and get out of here at once."Without saying anything further, Angel
