The fishermen hesitated for a moment while analyzing the situation. They would probably be better off following Stan’s lead than Jay, that piece of refuse, just because Stan had been in the city for a longer period of time.Thus, they took their rage out on Jay, beating him with all their ferocity.“Kill him!”“He’s just an outsider in our village. Nobody would stand up for him if we beat him to death,” Stan said while growling.Finn turned back. He saw Jay becoming maddened with rage, taking on all the fishermen by himself.The fishermen were naturally more muscular and burly while Jay, on the other hand, had a weaker physique. Perhaps it had been too long since he lost his memory, so he forgot that he practiced martial arts before. He simply pummeled at his opponents with all the brutality within him.Flames rose from within Finn’s eyes as he gritted his teeth and growled. “You’re asking for it.”He bounded over like a jaguar. A roundhouse kick swung at Stan, launching him t
Angeline suddenly confessed to him, saying, “I like you.”Jay’s expression was full of rejection. “I can’t be bothered.”Angeline’s mouth gaped a little… The feeling of failure was hitting her like never before.“You won’t give it some thought?”Jay looked at her as if he was silently telling her, ‘Why waste time on something like this?’Angeline pouted but still persisted and started to boast. “I’m a nice person, you know. I’m nerdy, rich, and I know how to pamper someone. There are countless men in Imperial Capital who fancy me.”The corners of Jay’s mouth twitched hard!“Are you sure that those men aren’t after you just for your money?”Angeline replied, “Impossible. I’m the number one attractive woman in the whole of Imperial Capital.”Jay looked at the brand new ‘Ultimate Book of Famous People’ he had just bought that was on the study table, his lips twitching. “That’s because you’re the number one alpha on the list.”Angeline, “...”The conversation had stopped dead in
At that moment, Grayson hurried inside the room and was anxious. “President, Tempest’s condition is worsening.”Angeline said furiously to Jay, “You don’t have to drive me out, I’ll do it myself.” She walked out and left Jay standing there.Jay was completely flabbergasted while his mind went completely blank.Tempest was in danger?He quickly ran outside. “Ms. Severe?”Angeline looked back at him. “What now?”“Can you take me with you?”“Are you refusing to beg me?” Her cheeks puffed like bread in a baker’s shop. She looked kind of cute.It was clear that she was still angry at him.Jay, “...”Just then, he heard Angeline’s exasperated voice call out to him. “Get in the car.”Jay walked over and sat beside her.Grayson drove.Angeline’s gaze was fixated on the sunflowers in the car. She muttered to herself, “Why give me sunflowers? There’s no such thing as eternal happiness in this world, is there?”Jay thought that she was talking about him, but he could not figure out
After she and Jay came out of the ICU, Jay expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart. "Thank you."Angeline said, "If you want to thank someone, you should at least show your sincerity by treating me to a meal.""What do you want to eat?" Jay looked extremely reluctant as if he was going to the execution ground.Angeline pondered for a very long time. "Let me take you to a place."Angeline took Jay to a five-star hotel in Imperial Capital and picked a private dining room meant for couples.When Jay caught sight of the romantic flowery room, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes. However, since he was going to express his gratitude for Angeline, he had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction.Angeline sat across the table, and when the waiter brought over the menu, Jay handed it to Angeline like a gentleman."Why don’t you order?"Therefore, Angeline ordered all his favorite dishes.Jay was still hesitating about whether he should order something light for
Was he trying to imply that she looked ugly?Angeline refused to fall into his trap and said proudly, "When I look at my bare face, it makes me wonder where this goddess has descended from.”Jay's lips twitched violently. "What a boast."Angeline said, "I'm just telling the truth."Jay looked at Angeline as she smiled sweetly, and for some inexplicable reasons, he thought that this she-devil did not seem so annoying after all.On the contrary, her innocence actually made her seem quite cute."Why are you in business?" he asked curiously.He always thought that Angeline had a soft and adorable personality instead of the manly and tough personality that she pretended to have.Doing business did not fit her character at all.Angeline let out a forlorn sigh. "This is a promise I made to him."Jay listened attentively.Angeline said, "I once promised him that I can be both a creeper plant that needs support or a sturdy tree that can stand independently.”She paused before contin
Jay strode forward with his long legs and was about to leave.Angeline stood rooted to the spot in a daze.The expression on her dark face looked like that of an aggrieved and resentful woman. "Hey, aren't you supposed to send me home after treating me to a meal? Wouldn’t it be dangerous for me to go back alone?"Jay's tall and sturdy back stiffened. He then turned around and said, "Almighty Ms. Severe, you’re just like a high and mighty queen in Imperial Capital. Who would have the nerve to beard the lion in his den?”Angeline immediately put on a pitiful and helpless look like she was a little lamb. She shamelessly grabbed onto his sleeves with her tiny hands. "There are too many men who covet a peerless and natural beauty like me. My bodyguards will normally be by my side, but none of them are around to protect me today. I’m scared to go back alone.”Jay's lips twitched violently. "I’d believe you if you say that they covet your money. Unless the man is blind, who would covet y
Angeline’s eyes were misted with tears. She uttered in an exceedingly aggrieved manner, "Why are you scolding me?"It was obviously his fault. When she was a child, she would hold his hand wherever she went, and that was the cause of her terrible sense of direction.Now he was blaming her instead?Jay was slightly dumbfounded. Why was she crying again?"Tell me where we’re supposed to go right now?" His tone softened inexplicably.Angeline said guiltily, "If I tell you that I'm lost, would you believe me?"Of course, Jay would not believe her. Though after seeing Angeline’s blank and adorable face, he found it hard not to believe her either.To explain herself, she muttered under her breath, "Women, in general, have a terrible sense of direction."Jay retorted furiously, "But you’re no ordinary woman!"Angeline’s face broke out in a delightful grin. "I knew it, Brother Ben. I’m an extraordinary woman in your eyes."Jay said, "To me, you’re an all-powerful and omnipotent fight
Angeline put on a straight face and answered, "I don't have any other valuables aside from you."Jay, "...""Give them the handbag."Hence, Angeline tossed the handbag to the group of robbers.The robbers turned the handbag upside down and flew into a rage when they could not find any valuables in it."This woman has a pretty face. Maybe we can have some fun with her.""Sure."Jay dragged Angeline behind him. "Step back," he commanded with a grim aura.His aura had the power to intimidate anyone out of their wits.Angeline thought she was looking at the awe-inspiring Jay Ares she once knew.She stood behind him. With his back against the light, he looked like a lofty and sturdy green mountain.It gave her peace of mind.When the group of robbers came up waving their knives, Jay ordered Angeline, "Hurry up and run."Meanwhile, he approached the sharp cold blades and began fighting the group of robbers.How could Angeline possibly leave him behind? Her hawk-like gaze fell s
“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
