Angeline stood on the construction site clad in a white suit, her long wavy hair draping down to her waist. She studied the construction site with one hand on her hip and started complaining, saying, "Why wasn’t the garbage on the construction site removed in time? Why isn’t the project being completed according to schedule? Who is the cause of this delay, Grayson? Find out and fire him."Angeline wore a stern look on her face, her voice sharp and cold. It sent everyone trembling with fear."Also, half a year has passed since Tourmaline Estate’s construction started, but I haven’t seen any significant progress at all. Can I know what the workers in charge of this construction project are doing? If they continue to move at this snail speed, maybe I’ll die first before the construction is complete!"The chief designer, project manager, and a group of engineers followed behind her with their heads hung low. They were afraid to even breathe after getting scolded by her.Ben looked at A
At this moment, Angeline, Grand Asia’s president, was sitting in the office. She had erupted with a thundering fury."I spent hundreds of billions building Tourmaline Estate, not for you to build some jerry-built building project. There was a storm last night and the wall collapsed just like that. Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on?"“Please calm down, Ms. Severe. This is the designer's fault. Something is wrong with the blueprint."“Where’s the designer? I want to see him immediately. Don't undertake a hard job if you don't have the necessary skills for it." Angeline was furious.Several fishermen rudely escorted Ben to the office where the president was giving the admonitory talk. From a distance, Ben could already hear the president's furious shouts. "What is the designer doing? Eating sh*t? How can you make mistakes on such a simple structure?”When Manager Hanes brought Ben inside, several fishermen kicked Ben behind his knees, causing him to crash to the gro
Angeline stepped on her stiletto heels and left.Grayson walked over and said reverently to Jay, "My president may look fierce, but she’s actually a warm person. Make a trip to Grand Asia. She won’t make things difficult for you."Jay nodded.Grayson sent Jay downstairs and opened the Ferrari door for him in a respectful manner. Jay was slightly startled when he saw Angeline sitting inside."I should take the car in the back, right?" Jay felt uneasy for some reason.Grayson wore a stern look on his face and said, "My president needs to deal with a host of problems every day. Take this car with her so it’ll be easier for her to ask you certain things about the blueprint."Jay glanced guiltily at Angeline. For some reason, he felt flustered when he saw this she-devil.It was as if he owed her in the past life.Angeline stared at him with a cold expression and said furiously, "What’s wrong? You think I’ll eat you up? I’m not interested even if you’re Prince Harry. Don't worry, I w
Angeline, “...” Damn it. How did he actually move her back then when he seduced her like that?Why was he so disgusted now when she was practically doing the same thing?The driver could hardly hold back his laughter.Thinking how embarrassing this was, Angeline threatened the driver viciously. "Laugh again and I’ll ask the doctor to inject you with two doses of Clostridium botulinum."The driver had no choice but to stifle his laughter.When the Ferrari pulled over at Garden Of A Diary, Angeline yanked Jay out of the car by pulling one end of the cotton cloth that bound Jay’s wrists. He walked toward the house.Jay's dashing face looked darker than ashes. He felt extremely humiliated for being treated like livestock by a she-devil.Angeline pulled him into the bedroom. She took out a pair of handcuffs from the drawer and handcuffed his left hand to the bedpost, then untied the cloth that was tied around his wrists.Jay tried to break free from the handcuffs, but it was to no
Despite that, a stubborn and obstinate voice rang out in her heart. "Angeline Severe, do you think you can give up on him?"Her answer was firm and solid. "No, I’ll never give up on him. Never—"Jay sat gloomily on the bed. His stomach problems had recurred. He covered his cramping stomach with one hand as cold sweat seeped out of his forehead. His face was turning abnormally pale.His mysophobia would be triggered almost every day in the past few years, causing him to vomit frequently and weakening his constitution even more. In addition to that, he was on the verge of collapsing as he had not been able to eat well, sleep well, and even had to do physical labor lately.Now that he had fallen into the hands of this she-devil, he knew that he was not going to last.After looking around this unfamiliar yet luxurious room, a self-deprecating smile lifted the corners of his mouth. This seemed to be a good place to die.Angeline pushed the door in and stood in front of him, staring at
Jay's gaze fell on the broken shards on the ground, and a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes. "How much is the bowl? I’ll pay you."Angeline blurted out, "831 bucks."Jay eyed her suspiciously. He could not help but think that this she-devil was teasing him for some unknown reasons.Angeline stretched out her fair and slender hand. "Pay up!"Jay felt embarrassed. He did not have a single penny with him, so how was he supposed to compensate her?"I’ll pay you once I have the money," he said.Angeline leaned forward, her smile exceedingly sly. "You don’t have any money? Give up your heart then."Jay stared speechlessly at her. "You think I’m only worth 831 dollars?" He deliberately stressed the word ‘dollars’.Angeline thought for a while. "831 bucks isn’t enough for your good looks indeed. Here, I’ll give you 831,224 dollars. How’s that?"Jay was quite sure that the she-devil was teasing him.He glared furiously at her, wearing a steely expression that seemed to say, ‘Ne
The moment she saw him, she knew that he had lost his memory.Otherwise, he would not be staring at her with such indifferent and distant eyes.The doctor said in a solemn tone, "Also, the blood clot is placed at a particularly unusual position. Make sure he isn’t stimulated or he’ll be at risk of suffering from a brain hemorrhage.”Angeline felt like a ticking time bomb had been placed on her body."Is there a cure for that?" Angeline asked uneasily.The doctor suggested, saying, "Perhaps over time, the blood clot might reduce in size and disappear on its own. If we perform a craniotomy procedure, then there might be a risk!"Angeline raised her hand immediately to stop him. "There’s no need for that."Angeline did not have the heart to put him through the suffering of placing his life on the line just to help him regain his memory.The next day, Jay slowly regained consciousness.Angeline was seen lying next to his bed while sleeping soundly. There were no words to describe
Angeline stared at him with an exceedingly smug look on her face. "So what’s it going to be? Want to work for me?""No," he said through gritted teeth.This woman did a background check on him?"I will pay back what I owe as soon as I can." Jay sat up from the hospital bed, pushed back the covers, and left.Angeline dropped her head, looking extremely defeated."What about the blueprint? Aren’t you going to take responsibility now that there’s something wrong with the blueprint?" Angeline yelled at his tall and straight back.Jay stood at the door, his tone carrying a trace of acerbity. "I’m sure you know that I didn’t make that mistake. Don't use those dirty tricks on me just to get me. This will only make me despise you more."Then, he flicked his sleeves and left.Angeline was so furious that she kicked the hospital bed. “What are you so proud of? How dare you look down on me, Jay Ares? Who was the one who pursued and coaxed me back then? Damn!"After Jay left Grand Asia Ho
“Madam Angeline, do you have any last words?” The man showed Angeline mercy and gave her the chance to breathe in some air. Angeline pondered upon it for a while and said, “In the past, I only wished for my family’s peace and my children’s health. Right now, I hope that my children will be able to achieve all of their dreams. I hope that Jens will be able to revitalize our family’s business. I hope that Baby Zetty’s wish for there to be no more pain and suffering in the world comes true. I hope that Baby Robbie’s wish for there to be no more separations in families comes true as well.” The man was stunned. The gun in his hands tilted slightly. “Madam Angeline, wealthy people like you live luxurious lives that are free of worries. How would you ever understand the suffering of ordinary people like us? You didn’t mean anything you said to me just now, right?” Angeline said, “I’m about to die. Why would I lie to you? Although I’m from a wealthy family, I’m also a mother. I love
Angeline said, “Although Jens is young, Whitty isn’t at a ripe age anymore. Whitty has waited for Jens for so many years. She should get something in return.” Sir Ares remained silent. However, there was still an unpleasant expression on his face.Upon catching sight of the expression on Sir Ares’ face, Whitty immediately said, “Daddy, Mommy, Jens and I aren’t in a rush to get married. Jens has decided to get married after having a stable career.”Sir Ares seemed to calm down. Jenson stood up and told Sir Ares, “Daddy, I’d like to marry Whitty.” Sir Ares cast a sideway glance at him and asked, “What’s the reason behind your decision to do so?” Jenson said, “I love her.” Sir Ares’ lips upturned slightly. Not only did Jens’ personality resemble that of his, but his outlook on love was similar to his as well.Upon recalling how persistent he was while pursuing Angeline when he was young, Sir Ares knew that he could not stop Jenson.The relationship between father and son w
Sir Ares stared at Angeline speechlessly. At this moment, their memorable love flashed across his mind. He had once loved someone so deeply. He could go against his parents for her as well. Sir Ares sighed and said, “You really can’t keep your children by your side once they’re all grown up.” Angeline stared at the dispirited man before her. Her heart hurt for him. She reached out to hold his hand. Sir Ares smiled at her as she warmed up his hands. He said in an understanding tone, “Angeline, you’re still the best.” Angeline smiled and said, “Of course, I’m the best. That’s because I’m the only person who will stay by your side till the very end. Gale is such an existence for Angel, and Finn is such an existence for Baby Zetty as well.” Sir Ares said, “Alright, stop teasing me. I got it.” Yes, love was above anything else in the world. That was the tradition of the Ares family. Sir Ares was madly in love with Angeline. However, when it came to others, he felt that
However, when Angeline found out about Grayson and Andy’s marriage, she insisted on holding a grand wedding for them.Angeline and Sir Ares called Andy before them. Angeline spoke up in a touched voice, “Andy, I’ve always treated you like my biological daughter. Now that you’re getting married, I’ll marry you off just like you’re my daughter.” Angeline handed a set of jewelry, a bank card, and a key to Andy. She said, “Andy, although Baby Zetty is married, we didn’t hold a grand wedding for her. I don’t know how other families marry off their daughters. Since you’re a girl, you’ll feel secure after having your own property. You’ll have your own freedom after having your own car. You’ll take the effort to dress up after having your own jewelry.” Andy cried tearfully, “Thank you, Mommy.”Angeline hugged Andy and patted her back as she said, “Don’t cry. You must come back often to visit in the future.” “Alright.” After Angeline finished speaking, Sir Ares stared and Grayson an
Whitney handed the envelope over to Andy and said, “Miss Laurel asked me to hand this to you.” Andy slowly opened the envelope under the sisters’ curious gazes. A red spider lily specimen fell out of the envelope.Tears filled Andy’s eyes when she saw it.The sisters all burst into tears. Whitney said, “I don’t know what meaning it holds for you, but I guess Laurel wants to convey something to all of you since she wanted me to hand it to you. Have you understood what she wants to tell you?”Andy cried out loud, “This is the blood oath that we made at the military intelligence division. When we swore to be sisters, Sis Daisy mentioned that although our fates were predetermined in this lifetime and we don’t get to decide how long we’ll be able to live, we can wait for the sisters in the afterlife after death. We must wait for everyone to gather before reincarnation. We can then be reincarnated as sisters in our next life.” Whitney was touched by this beautiful oath. She teared
Jenson then ordered the servants to search every nook and cranny of Tourmaline Estate and Imperial Capital. Baby Robbie seemed to have vanished into thin air. There was no sign of him anywhere.Sir Ares sighed after hearing the news. Angeline gave up after the long search. She told Jenson, “Don’t look for him. He’s all grown up now. We can’t restrain him anymore. Don’t waste more human and physical resources searching for him. Manage Tourmaline Estate well. You and Whitty will have to take responsibility for this household in the future.” Jenson stared into his mommy’s calm eyes. Although he was curious as to why his mommy, who loved her son more than her own life, could react so calmly to his disappearance, he kept that question in his heart. “Yes, mommy.” After leaving Chateau de Selene, Jenson returned to his room in an upset mood. Whitty walked into his room with a cup of hot tea and placed it in his hands gently. “Jens, you’ve been busy every day lately. You must look af
Baby Robbie nodded sternly. After Angeline’s health recovered a little, Baby Robbie paid her a visit at once. His face no longer gave out a childish air. His handsome face exuded a sharpness that resembled that of his father’s.Angeline knew that Baby Robbie would be filled with guilt for the rest of his life after this incident. She also knew that he would change his habit of fooling around and not thinking before acting. “Mommy, it’s all my fault. If I didn’t blindly believe in her, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to damage Tourmaline Estate,” Baby Robbie said. He was filled with self-guilt. Angeline said, “Baby Robbie, I know what you’re thinking. I’m having the same thoughts right now.” ”Baby Robbie was stunned. He glanced evaluatively at the weak and exhausted expression on his mommy’s face. Somehow, Baby Robbie felt upset on behalf of his mommy. It turned out that he was not the only one who did not have a good eye for people. His mommy was in the same boat as we
Jenson decided to rebuild Tourmaline Estate with the underlying theme of ‘remembrance’. Baby Robbie fell silent after looking through the design plans.“Jens, do you think that I’ve committed a huge sin?” He suddenly voiced out his thoughts. Jenson shook his head and said, “Baby Robbie, you didn’t want any of this to happen. However, you should’ve learned your lesson by now. You can’t be kind to everyone at all times.” Baby Robbie nodded and said, “I didn’t understand the meaning behind these words in the past. I get it now.” Jenson was stunned. After Baby Robbie left Jenson’s place, he paid a visit to Angel’s courtyard. Angel was now around seven years old. She was extremely tall and mentally mature. Therefore, she did not seem like a child at all. “Brother, I heard that you haven’t been in a good mood lately. I wanted to look for you since some time ago. However, look at the state that I’m in. How can I go out?” She waved her sleeves slightly. The furniture within the
Sir Ares stared at Sis Thirteen coldly. His gaze was devoid of the fatherly love that he had always shown her.“I knew that you had a hidden motive when you moved into the Ares family back then. However, I didn’t expect you to be so evil and have such a cruel heart at such a young age. Angeline’s love and adoration toward you didn’t warm your heart at all. To me, you’re not just a traitor. You don’t have a heart at all.” Sis Thirteen stared at Sir Ares in shock. Sir Ares’ scoldings seemed to help her better perceive herself. “You hurt my father. You hurt my daddy. That’s why I steeled my heart and decided to take revenge on the Ares family,” she cried out loud. Sir Ares said in a harsh tone, “Karma exists in the world. Why would I hurt him if he didn’t abduct my children? You don’t have the ability to discern right and wrong. You’re just making excuses for yourself. Do you think you’re being reasonable right now?” Sis Thirteen shook her head in devastation. “I only know that
