“Let me be blunt with you, Mr. Severe. Angeline is the woman that I, Cole Yorks, like. I’ll take her away from Swallow City when I’m done handling my affairs. Before then, I want you to ensure that she remains unscathed. If anything happens to her, I’ll make sure that none of the Severe family members will die a natural death." Cole gritted his teeth, his clear and melodious voice shrouded in a trace of coolness. His voice did not sound furious nor sullen, yet it was able to make anyone feel terrified as if a devil was here to claim somebody’s life."Of course, if you treat my Angeline kindly, then I won’t treat the Severe family unfairly. Fame or fortune, I’ll give it to you."George did not know who Cole was, but at the sight of his haughtiness, he decided against provoking him. "Mr. Yorks, come in and have a cup of tea."He wanted to know more about Cole.Angeline glared at Cole hard and threatened him soundlessly. ‘Take one step into the house and you’ll see!’Cole hesitated.
“Why was he holding me when he left?" Angeline suppressed her excitement and pretended to ask calmly.Cole recalled the incident that day, and there was still a lingering fear in his heart. "You were unconscious that day and blood was oozing out of every opening on your head. Everyone thought you were dead for sure. When Josephine carried you on her back and took you downstairs, you were already covered in blood. Jay took you into his arms straight away. I thought he was going to give you emergency treatment, but he ended up running away with you in his arms instead—“Angeline, I was scared out of my wits that day. That was why I couldn’t react in time to save you. After the incident, I regretted it terribly. Why did I hand my beloved woman to another man just like that?"Angeline murmured, "I don't blame you, you’re timid—"Cole disagreed. He wanted to compete with Jay in everything. "Angeline, I wasn’t the only one who was struck dumb. Jay was also stupefied by the sight of your
Jay looked at the slightly old wooden box, his gaze falling on the delicate combination lock. The combination lock adopted the strongest encryption technology from 30 years ago, so there was probably a shocking secret hidden within it.“Open it.”Finn easily deciphered the combination lock and opened the wooden box without damaging it.Placed within it was a golden baby lock with the three characters ‘riches’, ‘honor’, and ‘peace’ engraved on it. There was also a line of small characters engraved on the back of the lock, a date that wrote: September 9th, ** year.Engraved in front was a location and name: Imperial Capital, Grace Bell. There were two other lines of small characters written in vertical: Father, Stanley Bell. Mother, Andrea Christopher.A trace of surprise emanated from Finn’s eyes!"Tell me, what’s the secret hidden inside?" Jay asked, looking at Finn who seemed to be lost in thoughts.Finn handed the golden lock to Jay carefully and exclaimed, "President Ares, so
President Ares must have thought of his biological parents. The poor couple had a car accident as soon as they reunited with their son.Nothing in this world could surpass such pain.Imperial Capital, Mount Villa.When a tiger was not around, the monkey would proclaim himself the king.Carson was throwing a champagne party with a group of disreputable friends."Young Master went on a date with Miss Severe tonight. Do you think he’ll get the girl?" Carson said and laughed, pouring the champagne into his mouth as soon as he raised his glass.The door was suddenly pushed open.Carson had his back turned to the door and continued to talk freely. "When Young Master and Miss Severe successfully tie the knot, there’ll be someone to discipline Young Master in the future. Miss Severe is a tigress, she is. I won’t call myself Carson if the young master isn’t punished every other day."The rest kept a straight face and was afraid to utter a word. They dropped their heads and drank their c
“Young Master, everyone is saying that women love bad guys… In my opinion, Miss Severe doesn’t like a gentleman like you!"Cole frowned. "You think I'm not bad enough?"Uh. Carson clammed up sulkily.After a long pause, Carson reluctantly added, "You’re plain evil, Young Master, but you’re cloaked in a sheep’s skin, so how is Miss Severe supposed to see your true colors?”Cole said, "So you want me to show her my true colors? What if I frighten her?"This plan would not work!Carson pondered for a very long time. "Could Miss Severe be a face-judger?"Cole touched his face, then asked with a faint smile, "Do I look that bad?"When Cole caught a glimpse of Carson's subtle ‘inexpressible’ gaze, he lamented and expressed his indignation on why heaven had made Jay after making Cole.Carson said carefully, "You look good, Young Master, but you’re just a teensy-weensy bit worse than that otherworldly beauty Jay.”Cole asked grimly, "Are you sure?"Uh.Carson choked on his words su
“How much?”Perhaps the Yorks were too rich, so every time the juniors asked for money, the old master would not ask the reason why.Carson looked at Cole. “Young Master, the old master’s asking you how much you need.”Cole replied, “Unlimited.”Carson rephrased what Cole said, “The young master said the more the better.”The old master felt annoyed. “Does Silly Goose finally know how to spend money?”Carson was speechless. Then, he looked at Cole carefully.The old master was always complaining that the young master did not know how to spend money, but the young master was always on missions, so he did not have time to spend money.Therefore, the old master gave Cole the nickname of ‘Silly Goose’.The old master felt that something was amiss, so he asked, “Why does he need so much money?”Carson replied excitedly, “Old Master, the young master is in love.”Cole glared at Carson angrily. “Shut up.”Over there, the old master slammed his hand down on the table in excitement.
Anne exclaimed, “It didn’t just work. It’s like magic! The wound on my Sera healed in just one night.”Angeline was astonished. She did not expect Cole’s ridiculous statements to be true.Angeline rejected indirectly. “Aunty Connors, I’m still using the healing cream, so I can’t give it to you.”She was thinking of Jay. A person with a status like him would always have people coming up and threatening him, so it would be inevitable for him to get hurt. She had to save some of the creams for him.However, she was worried that Anne would be unhappy, so Angeline grabbed another medication next to her and stuffed it into her hand. “This is for you.”For Anne, it was like getting back what one lost on the swings but got back on the roundabouts. She left happily.Angeline looked at the medicine and supplements as she remembered what Cole said, “These are all medicines that you can’t find on the market.”Suddenly, she realized she needed to hide these gems. Some day, she would bring th
George’s tone softened. However, he still sounded firm when he said, “The Severes and the Tituses are completely incompatible. The Severe kids are not allowed to marry any of the Tituses!”Angeline sat at one side and watched as this happened indifferently.Seth’s words felt like thorns on her back.In order to steal the other party’s trade secrets, he even went as far as to turn this fake drama into reality with Yumi.Was it worth it to sacrifice his marriage to get some fame and profit?Seth decided to take out his trump card. “Dad, Yumi has my child. I’m going to marry her no matter what.”George was so shocked by this news that he could not stand still. “What did you say?”Seth said, “Yumi and I are already together. Yosemite knows about this too. He even agreed to let Yumi marry me.”George roared. “No! I don’t have money!”Seth thought George was purposely making things difficult for him, so he stared at him with his red eyes.“I knew it. You only have one son in your h
