After he sent the message, Grayson ran over anxiously.Before he said anything, he started to wonder.Should he call her ‘Madam’ or ‘Miss Severe’?“Why are you here?” In the end, he left out her title.Angeline smiled courteously and said, “Grayson, I want to talk to you about your company’s patented technology and the continuation of the contract with Severe Group.”Grayson was in a difficult position. “Only the president can decide this.”Jay was the one who stopped this collaboration, but Angeline was not confident that she could make him change his mind.She figured another shortcut would be signing the contract with Grayson without Jay interfering.“Grayson, this is just a very small contract. You have the right to handle all the contracts with a set price when the president isn’t around. I don’t think you need to trouble your extremely busy president.” Angeline stopped Grayson from leaving.Grayson said, “Miss Severe, the president will be here soon. Why don’t you wait f
Angeline handed the contract she prepared beforehand to Jay. “Sir Ares, look at this contract. I hope you can continue to support Severe Group’s project of developing high-end smart appliances. Of course, as a reward, we can give Grand Asia a patent fee higher than the market price.”Jay looked at the huge stack of documents. It had been a long time since he saw this girl being so serious. It seemed that she had taken over Severe Group that was riddled with problems.“Angeline, do you think you can bring Severe Group back to life?” Jay asked lightly. There were no emotions in his voice. However, there was a flash of ridicule in his charming eyes.Angeline knew Severe Group was on the brink of death. However, in order to fulfill her grandfather’s wishes, she could only bear this weight on her shoulders.“I think you’ve heard about the quote ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way’?” Angeline asked.Jay smirked. His thin lips were pressed together and it was as if he was smiling. “Anyo
Jay turned around, and Angeline smiled at him sheepishly.“Hehe, they’re new, so they don’t fit me.”Jay suddenly thought of something. There was a tinge of humor in his eyes.Angeline took off her heels and limped out.Finn saw the concern on Jay’s face and asked on his behalf, “Miss Severe, are you okay? Do you need to go to the clinic?”Angeline said, “It’s fine. I have my own remedy.”Jay frowned. “Remedy?”Then, he remembered Cole just as his face turned dark.Jay sat in front of the french window on the ninth floor. He looked at the entrance of Grand Asia quietly.When he saw Angeline limping out, a surge of complicated emotions rose within him.“Angeline, you don’t have to work so hard. Jaybie will create a Grand Asia empire and I’ll hand it to you myself.”…After Angeline got out of Grand Asia, she felt dispirited.Jay breaking up with her was enough to devastate her. However, he even refused to give her this harmless collaboration for the sake of their past relat
Cole was hurt. “A lot of women want to have scandals with me, but I don’t want to. I’m giving you the opportunity now and you’re rejecting me? Angeline, am I that horrible in your eyes?”Angeline peered at Cole. She saw the moisture in his clear eyes that came from the hurt she gave him and eventually, she could not take this anymore.“Cole, you’re not horrible, but you and I are just not meant to be together. Do you know that fate and luck will determine the outcome of a relationship? You came too late and I’ve already had someone else’s name tattooed on my heart. That’s why I can’t accept other people,” Angeline said.Cole complained, “Can you blame me? I was ten years younger than Jay when my mom gave birth to me. That love guru swept you away when you were 18 and I was still playing in the dirt in diapers. How can I compare to him?”Cole sighed. “Angeline, this isn’t fair to me.”Angeline was sad too. “There’s no fairness in love.”It was just like her and Jay. He was always
She did not get any results after seeking help outside, so that was why she came back to him. She did not have another choice.Angeline looked at him stupidly. Perhaps she was now more domineering because she was riding the high after drinking alcohol.“Jay Ares, tell me. What should I do to make you let Severe Group off the hook?”“Is this how you beg someone?” Hehe, how dare she call him by his full name? Who gave her the courage to do this?Angeline straightened her back. She stood in front of Jay like a student who had done something wrong.This was how she stood when she made a mistake when she was younger. Now, she was standing in this position reflexively.“If you agree to let Severe Group off the hook, you can take my life if you want to,” Angeline said firmly.Jay’s face was frigid. “Why would I want your life?”He just wanted her to live a good life. He wanted her to live a happy and carefree life.Angeline did not understand him. “Um… How do you want me to beg you?”
She crawled toward him and helped him with his clothes.Jay saw that her hands were trembling furiously. It was evident that she was nervous and scared.His evil tendencies toward her vanished instantly. “Angeline, do you think it’s worth selling your body for your company?”Angeline was stunned. She said, “The company is broke and more than 100 employees of Severe Group will lose their jobs. Plus, I don’t have money to pay the debt. When that happens, I can only apologize for my mistakes with my death.”Suddenly, Jay grabbed her wrist rudely. “What did you say?”Apologize for her mistakes with her death? He did not work so hard for her so that she could kill herself.Angeline looked into his angry eyes bravely. “Sir Ares, you’re ambitious and you don’t want to give other companies a way out. Aren’t you scared that karma will get back at you for doing so many bad things?”Jay increased his force on her wrist as the evil glint in his eyes became more intense. “I’m not scared.”‘
It was a party to celebrate Sean’s son for being one month oldAngeline recalled that Sean used to be a friend who had collaborated with her before. There was no reason for her to not send him a gift.Perhaps she would be able to work together with Sean again.As usual, after Angeline got dressed up, she drove to Imperial Capital from Swallow City.The Bells’ party was held in a five-star hotel.When Angeline stepped into the hall, she immediately attracted everyone’s attention.She was a stunning woman, and she even dolled up for this occasion.She was wearing a backless lace dress that accentuated her perfect curves. There was a blood ruby necklace on her slender neck and a pair of dangling earrings on her ears. Her lipstick matched her necklace while her short hair was gathered on the top of her head, creating a messy yet pleasant-looking bun that was secured with a jacinth clip. She looked flawless yet alluring.“Sir.”In the corner, Jay was chatting with Sean when Finn in
Jay said coldly, “You don’t have to worry about Grand Asia.”Sean did not have any comebacks for Jay. He said in distress, “Please help yourself, Master Ares.” Then, he walked away while feeling dispirited.Angeline looked at Jay. This guy came as a guest, yet he embarrassed the host. He was still able to stay and savor his wine carefreely.Angeline could not watch this anymore. She reminded him out of kindness and said, “Sir Ares, don’t forget. You have to reserve some dignity for other people so that you won’t feel awkward meeting them in the future.”Jay lifted his head to look at her. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes that she was unable to hide. He knew she was worried about him.Jay said, “I won’t be seeing him in the future. So, of course, I don’t have to save his dignity.”Angeline knew Jay was not amenable to reason. However, she did not expect that he would turn out to be so unreasonable.“Just take care of yourself, Sir Ares.” She sounded helpless.When she was
