Chapter 1041

"Uh, I'm pretty sure lamb, beef, and pork liver will give you high cholesterol levels when you eat too much of them." The nurse laughed.

Jay,

Marilyn whispered to him, "She's the hospital's president, darling. Why are you only serving her liver? Why don't you go and buy a few more side dishes?"

Eager to send this light bulb away, Angeline said to Marilyn, "Mm, Mrs, a male chauvinist like him can never get simple things like that right. Why don't you go and buy a few more side dishes for me?" Marilyn stood up with delight. "Okay."

When Marilyn was gone, Angeline started stuffing herself with food.

Although it was just a dish, there was just too much food.

Angeline's stomach was almost exploding from eating too much. She teased Jay, saying, "Do you actually take me for a pig?"

Jay made no reply.

When he noticed her pale complexion earlier, he was too anxious and suddenly thought about how eating

liver could help the body produce red blood cells. How could he possibly have the energy to think about anything else?

When Jay noticed how she had almost finished several boxes of liver like a whirlwind, he quickly stopped her. "Stop eating."

Angeline let out a dazzling smile. "Since It's rare for you to do something for me, I have to appreciate it, don't I?"

Angeline had really hit a raw nerve when she said those words.

She cherished his contribution because she cared.

He would only feel such honor when he was with Angeline.

After eating, Angeline stroked her round belly and stood up. Suddenly, she let out a scream and stood frozen in place, unable to move a single step.

Jay looked at her with apprehension. "What's wrong?"

Angeline wanted to weep but had no tears. "I think I've stuffed myself too full."

Jay was rendered speechless.

"How old are you? Don't you know how much food your stomach can take?"

He then pressed her back down on the bench and went to the nurse station for help.

Soon, Marilyn came back with several lunch boxes in

her hand.

"Ms. President, I bought you a few warm side dishes. Why don't you try and see if you like them?"

At the sight of the cheap dishes in front of her, Angeline's gaze turned obscure.

She had already paid Jaybie an advance salary, so it stood to reason that her family was no longer short of money, right? However, she was actually serving dishes like that to her son's savior? Sigh!

Angeline sighed.

Both Marilyn and Jaybie were from two completely different worlds. Jaybie was born in one of the wealthiest families. Although he had a sharp tongue and a cold temperament, he was pure and kind in nature, devoid of all pretenses. He knew how to feel grateful and repay an act of kindness.

Marilyn was born in a poor family. Being poor was nothing, but she loved money as much as her life. She flattered her superiors yet trampled the weak. She was two-faced and vulgar to her core. Unfortunately, heaven did not do him any justice when he paired the flawless Jaybie with the vulgar Marilyn.

Jaybie had to love Marilyn a lot to tolerate her vulgar shortcomings, right?

She felt irritated all of a sudden and crossed her arms, pinching them. Only pain could suppress her desire to feel envy.

As she had used too much force, she accidentally grabbed the wound left by the needle when her blood was drawn. Suddenly, crimson blood started flowing out.

Marilyn exclaimed, "Oh my, you're bleeding, Ms. President."

She took out a tissue and quickly wiped her blood for her.

Angeline stared at her in shock. "Don't you have blood phobia?"

Marilyn's eyes flickered, "Yeah, I feel uncomfortable when I see blood."

She stuffed the tissue in Angeline's hand sheepishly." Maybe you should do it yourself, Ms. President. I need to use the bathroom."

A hint of suspicion flashed across Angeline's pupils. How could a person who had blood phobia react as calmly as her at the sight of blood? She was clearly lying!

There had to be a secret as to why she refused to have her blood taken for a blood test.

Could it be...

It seemed like there was a need for her to study Tiger's case.

Chapter 1042

Chapter 1042

Soon.

Jay returned to Angeline's side quickly and anxiously with a glass of water in one hand and a medication strip in the other.

"These drugs are good for digestion, take them!" His charming face was stony while his complexion looked awful.

After taking the medicine, Angeline looked at Jay's slightly anxious face and laughed. "Are you worried about me, Brother Ben?"

She sounded extremely natural when she called him Brother Ben.

Jay wore a deadpan look on his face as he stared fixedly at her.

"I will, very reluctantly, serve you just this once because you donated blood to my son," he said coldly.

Angeline pouted!

She felt a pang in her heart when Jay spoke about his son.

"It must be great to be your son," she said sourly.

How could Jay possibly know what she was thinking about? He could not help but tease her, saying, "You

can be my son too if you want to. I will shower you with lots of love as well."

Angeline, "..."

At that very moment, she was actually very seriously considering calling him 'Dad' if she could not be his wife. However, at the sight of the malicious sneer hanging at the corner of his lips, she quickly put away this ridiculous idea.

Soon, the result of the child's diagnosis was out.

The doctor handed the child's medical record to Jay and he started reading his son's case carefully.

Acute thrombocytopenia.

His illness might return in the next few days, so blood transfusion was needed to provide treatment at any time.

Jay could not help feeling worried when he read the diagnosis.

When Angeline noticed how pale he looked, she leaned over to look before flashing him a malicious smile. "If you cook pork liver for me, then I'll supply all the blood that Tiger needs." Jay stared at her slightly pale complexion. "Are you sure you can do it?"

"I can do it," she answered like a breeze.

Jay's gaze fell on Marilyn who was standing by the window, seemingly lost in thoughts. "Excuse me for a moment."

Angeline grabbed his hand suddenly. "Can you show me the child's medical history, Ben?"

Jay handed her the medical record unsuspectingly. Angeline studied every column in the checklist. Suddenly, her pupils dilated abruptly as if she had seen something wrong. In the column that stated Tiger's age, the remark' three years old' flared up at her.

Three years old...

Jaybie went missing for three years and three months.

Even if he and Marilyn had quickly started a new relationship after that, Marilyn would have to first conceive for ten months and their child would be a little over two years old at most. Angeline was extremely emotional.

Could this be an error log or...

Perhaps Tiger was never Jaybie's son to start with?

All of a sudden, she started sprinting toward Tiger's ward.

"Doctor Walter."

Angeline found Tiger's attending physician.

"How can I help you, Ms. Severe?" Dr. Walter raised his head and looked respectfully at Angeline.

"I need to find out about Tiger's date of birth!"

Dr. Walter pulled out Tiger's file and said with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry, Ms. Severe, I didn't have the time to record it because we were busy saving the child's life earlier, so we didn't really follow the procedure."

Angeline said, "Get the child's mother in here and fill out the child's information at once."

Doctor Walter nodded and gave Marilyn a call at once.

"Mrs. Marilyn, can you please make your way to the Pediatric Hematology Department for a moment? We need to complete the child's record immediately." "Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

Angeline darted Dr. Walter a meaningful glance before hiding herself behind the office's partition wall.

Chapter 1043

Chapter 1043

Not long after that, Marilyn arrived at the doctor's office.

Dr. Walter asked her methodically, "What's the child's name?

"Tiger!"

The doctor raised his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face. "The child has no surname?"

Marilyn was first taken aback, then she explained. 'The child doesn't have a formal personal name. The people in the fishing village are named Tom, Dick, Harry and so on. They will only have a formal name when they grow up."

"What's the child's father's surname?"

Marilyn stuttered, "Ben."

"The child's father doesn't have a formal name too?" The doctor eyed her suspiciously.

Marilyn answered vaguely, "Mm."

"What about the child's birthday?"

Marilyn knew the answer to that question this time and blurted out, "26th July 2017."

Behind the partition wall, when Angeline heard the

child's date of birth, her clenched fists gradually loosened as a hint of delight shot out of her eyes.

Tiger was not Jaybie's son.

After learning that Jaybie and Marilyn did not have a child together, Angeline felt like her heart was full of sunshine and rainbows.

When she finally recovered from her excitement, she realized that Marilyn had already left at some point.

Angeline walked out of the partitioned area and gave Dr. Walter a thumbs up. "Well done."

In the evening, Tiger's fever went down and he had also regained consciousness.

Jay breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to Marilyn, "I'll stay here to watch over Tiger tonight. You should go home and have a good rest."

Marilyn nodded and left.

When Angeline came to Tiger's ward, she saw Jay sitting next to the bed reading a fairy tale to his child in a voice that was comparable to a radio announcer. Angeline felt a pang in her heart.

She could see how devoted Jaybie was to his son.

However, what Jaybie did not know yet was that Tiger was not his son at all.

She needed to find a chance to tell him instead of letting him raise a son for a despicable woman like

Marilyn without knowing what was going on at all.

"Ben."

Angeline walked in.

Jay turned to look at her in silence as he waited for her to continue.

Angeline's lips parted. She was about to ask him to go home and rest when she saw the helpless look on the child's face as he lay on the hospital bed. Therefore, she swallowed the words at the tip of her mouth.

She knew that she was being selfish because all she cared about was Jay's health and that he might fall sick if he stayed up all night to take care of the patient. She did not think about how sad or afraid the child would be when his parents were not around to take care of him.

"Nothing. I'm just here to visit the child." Ultimately, she managed to stop herself from making the selfish and narrow-minded suggestion.

"Thank you," Jay said, "My family can never repay you for the kindness you've shown Tiger."

Angeline had helped him out so many times, and no matter how hard Jay's heart was, he still found himself moved by her kindness.

Angeline became playful. "If you're unable to repay m e, give your heart to me then."

Jay glared helplessly at her.

"You're always teasing me so heartlessly. Don't you know that..." Exasperated, he spoke halfway before he stopped abruptly.

Angeline stared at his humorless and serious face, then put away her unruly smile. "Don't know what?"

Jay's deep and profound eyes flashed a hint of an obscure, cold gleam.

When she so shamelessly teased him back then, he simply regarded her as a vulgar woman who had some stinking money yet no moral integrity. That was also the reason why he despised her greatly. When he got to know her on a deeper level though, he realized that she had only been teasing him alone.

Most importantly, she was merely teasing him yet had done nothing that crossed the line. She even showed him more respect than anyone.

Chapter 1044

Chapter 1044

As time passed, he could not guarantee that he would not fall in love with her at all.

Take just now for example, when her complexion turned pale after her blood was drawn. He felt his heart aching terribly for some reason, and it was the sort of pain that could make him lose his mind. "Nothing," he said, sounding a little irritated.

"It's getting late. You should go back and rest." His voice went back to sounding indifferent and withdrawn.

Angeline said, "I'll just take a look at what you need here and I'll ask the nurse to prepare it for you. I'll go back now."

She walked around in the ward before leaving reluctantly.

Not long after that, the nurse came to the ward and changed all the items on the chaperone bed according to Angelina's instructions.

The colorful sheets and duvet covers were now replaced with different shades of silver and grey.

Jay eyed the nurse suspiciously. "Did Ms. Severe ask you to change them?"

The nurse nodded. "Yes. Ms. Severe is worried that you can't sleep well because you may not like colorful things. She specifically asked us to change new ones for you."

When Jay's gaze fell on the silver-gray quilt, he was perplexed. How did she read his mind? How did she know about his quirks?

Before the nurse left, she smiled and said to Jay," Sweet dreams."

Jay nodded mildly.

Angeline received a call from Grayson as soon as she left Grand Asia Medical Department. Grayson was speaking in an extremely solemn tone on the phone, hence Angeline said, "Let's meet up and talk." When Angeline rushed to Grand Asia, Grayson was already waiting for her at the president's office.

"Ms. Severe."

Grayson handed Angeline a card. When she took a look at the card, her pupils lit up abruptly. "Isn't this the bank card that Marilyn lost?" Grayson nodded.

"Our men found it in a trash can on the street near Sunshine Court housing estate."

Angeline asked, "Did you catch the thief?"

Grayson shook his head. "The other party is really vigilant for some reason. As soon as our men

approached him, he took off instantly."

Angeline sneered. "A habitual criminal who's experienced in running away from the cops."

Grayson's face remained grave and solemn.

Angeline noticed something amiss and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find something about this thief's identity?"

Grayson nodded solemnly.

"Spit it out." Angeline was eager to hear the answer.

After learning that Tiger was not Jay's biological son, Angeline had become very sensitive and suspicious of anything that was related to Marilyn.

Grayson said, "We checked the surveillance tape and saw the face of the man who threw this card away. After doing an identity check on him, we found out that his name is Ken. He's a fisherman." Angelina's pupil dilated. "A fisherman?"

Grayson said, "He might be acquainted with Marilyn. If he did steal Marilyn's bank card, Marilyn wouldn't have realized it at all. After all, he's adept at stealing."

Angeline raised her hand to stop Grayson from speaking and interrupting her thoughts.

When Grayson noticed anxiety and unease filling Angeline's usually calm face, he was a little surprised.

Although his president was a woman, she had always been undaunted in whatever trials and tribulations

she faced in the past few years.

The only person she was afraid of was Master Ares.

After a long time, the messy thoughts in Angeline's head cleared up and several plain and distinct clues emerged.

Tiger was not Jaybie's biological son.

Ken was found holding Marilyn's card.

Who was Tiger's biological father then?

Could it be Ken?

If it was Ken, then was Marilyn stealing the money that was entrusted to her?

At the thought of the possibility of Marilyn stealing Jay's hard-earned money to support another man, Angeline clenched her fists tightly.

Chapter 1045

Chapter 1045

"Grayson, this matter is not to be taken lightly. I want you to catch Ken as soon as possible. I need to confront him about something."

"Sure."

"Also..." Angeline's eyes emitted a cold flash. "I need to test Marilyn and find out if she's really that unbearably vulgar, sweet, and naive young woman we know, or if she's just a scheming and conniving woman. I want you to create opportunities for me so I can approach her."

Grayson replied, "Okay."

The next day.

When Marilyn came to the ward with a lunch box and saw Jay sitting in front of Tiger stroking the child's head gently, she could not help but laugh.

"You should go to work after you take your lunch, darling. Although the female president sounds a little mean sometimes, she's actually an unbiased good person. It won't be good for you to be absent from work like that when she has offered us so much help."

Marilyn was even more worried that Jay would be dismissed because he skipped work to take care of their child. If that happened, her good days would be

over.

Jay nodded. "Mm."

After taking a few quick bites, he left the hospital and arrived at Grand Asia.

Cyber Security Department.

Today, all employees seemed to be really well-coordinated as they all prepared an extra coat for themselves.

The moment Jay stepped inside the office, they could feel the cooling power of the huge refrigerator and silently put on their coat that they hung on the back of their chairs. Jay's falcon-like eyes contracted abruptly.

He eyed Grayson suspiciously only to realize that Grayson had prepared an even thicker jacket.

Grayson was standing nearest to him, hence he needed to keep warm the most.

When he saw Jay looking closely at him with a sharp gaze, Grayson took off the jacket he was wearing silently.

He then explained ruefully. "The weather forecast predicted a drop in temperature today."

It was only then did Jay's ice-cold pupils slowly warm up.

However, this lie was quickly exposed by Zayne when he barged into the Cyber Security Department.

Zayne was actually looking for Grayson. When he came to the Cyber Security Department and saw all the employees wearing coats over their professional attire, he started talking at the top of his lungs, "Why are the employees in the Cyber Security Department s o afraid of the cold? Do you all have weak kidneys because you're always staying up late at night?

"I'll ask the cafeteria to prepare some chicken soup for all of you to replenish your lost nutrients."

"Mr. Severe!" An employee hinted at Zayne with his eyes, motioning him to look at the window.

Zayne followed his gaze and looked over. The moment he saw Jay, he was so shocked that his eyes nearly slipped out of their sockets.

Iceberg Jay had come to work in the Cyber Security Department?

Zayne sniggered. "I feel so sorry for you guys."

Jay could still hear what he said even though he had spoken in an extremely soft voice.

Jay raised his eyelids to look at Zayne with a puzzled look in his eyes. Why were they so afraid of him? It was not like he was a tiger or something.

Grayson quickly stood up to smooth things out. "What are you doing here in the Cyber Security Department?

Zayne hugged his cold arms and shivered a little. "I...

I'm just here to ask you if Ms. Severe has anything scheduled for tonight."

Grayson knew Angeline's work schedule like the back of his hand. "She'll be free after six o'clock this evening." Zayne replied, "That's... That's great."

"Did you arrange something for Ms. Severe?" Grayson asked vigilantly.

Zayne had been given the nickname 'Mr. Unreliable' throughout the three years he was working with the company.

That explained why Grayson was always keeping a close eye on him in case he tripped Ms. Severe up.

Zayne said, "Nothing, I'm just planning to invite her to a star-studded banquet."

Jay furrowed his eyebrows. For some reason, a hint of disrelish flashed across his heart.

Chapter 1046

Chapter 1046

Why did all rich people like to lead dissipated lives like that?

He had just made a subtle criticism about Angeline when Grayson was heard reprimanding Zayne, "Don't you know that Ms. Severe never participates in social activities outside of work?" Zayne said, "It's different this time. I'm positive she'll attend because one of the superstars there is her idol."

Zayne tossed the invitation card on Grayson's desk.

Jay cast an icy glance at him.

She was a star chaser too?

How childish!

Zayne shuddered. He then hugged himself and went out quickly.

"It really is cold. I need to put on a down jacket when I get back."

Grayson picked up the invitation card. When he saw the name of the inviter, he dared not let his guard down anymore.

He quickly got up and walked toward the president's office.

Grayson came to the president's office and handed Angeline the invitation card.

"Ms. Severe, Ms. Josephine has invited you to the wrap party for the film 'The Mad Mistress And National Doctor'. Do you want to go?" Angeline was wild with joy, saying, "This is Josephine's first movie as the female lead. I must go and show her my support no matter what."

All of a sudden, her complexion darkened. "But I lack a dance partner though."

Grayson reminded her in a low voice. "Don't you already have a ready-made one downstairs?"

Angeline said with a smile, "Go and bring him up to me."

"Sure."

Soon, Grayson brought Jay to Angeline.

Angeline eyed Jay suspiciously. "Can you be my dance partner, Ben?"

Jay's voice was cold. "This social activity isn't compulsory anyway. You can always refuse if you don't have a dance partner."

Angeline was almost pleading with him now. "I've never attended other banquets organized by other aristocratic families, but Josephine is different. She's my best friend."

Jay was taken aback a little. It turned out she was actually attending the banquet for a girl.

The jealousy he felt somewhere in his heart diminished inexplicably.

Angeline pleaded piteously, "We share an extremely close bond. Please go with me, Ben."

"Okay then," he answered reluctantly.

Angeline was overjoyed. "That's great, Ben!"

Jay's cold gaze fell on her handsome suit. "You're attending the banquet wearing this? Do you think men or women are more likely to invite you to a dance when you're there?" Angeline looked awkward. "Let me go to the dressing room next door to put on some makeup. Please give me a moment."

Soon, Grayson brought a suit over.

He had prepared an haute couture hand-made branded suit, an azure blouse, and a black tie for Jay.

Jay declined firmly. "I'm not changing into that."

Grayson pleaded humbly, "You are now the president's assistant, Mr. Ben, and you represent Grand Asia.

Therefore, your attire will be provided by a specific company from now on. In addition to wearing limited edition clothing made by international haute-couture clothing brands on major occasions, you are also expected to wear the attire tailored for you by the clothing companies under Grand Asia. Of course, if you have any specific requests with regards to your attire, you can always let us know so we can always pass on your feedback..."

Jay stared at Grayson's mouth. He was eloquent and would never stop talking. If he did not agree to it, then he might just go on and on until the end of time.

"Just do whatever you want!" he said mildly.

After changing his attire, he stepped out. The well-tailored clothes had set off his cold and charming aura that intermingled with a trace of noble elegance, and because of that, his every gesture made him seem a tad intimidating.

Grayson looked at Jay, his eyes a little misty.

As though he was put in a trance, he thought that the bold and inspiring young master had returned.

Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047

"Mr. Ben, Ms. Severe just called to inform you that she has already put on her makeup and is now waiting for you downstairs," Grayson said. "Mm." Jay nodded and walked outside.

Grand Asia main entrance.

A red Ferrari was parked at the entrance. The window rolled down and Angelina was seen sitting quietly in the back seat.

She was wearing a green fishtail lace dress and her tube top was a translucent cutout design, which added a touch of charm to her overall beauty.

When Jay gradually approached her, he saw her sitting quietly in the back seat. Her side profile looked distant yet gentle. After washing off the exaggerated dark makeup base, her skin now looked fair. Although she had applied smokey eye makeup and heavycolored lipstick, they were still not enough to conceal her beauty.

Why did the way Angeline dress herself up look so familiar, though?

When Jay got into the back seat, he turned his head to the side to look at Angeline, saying harshly, "Fine clothes do make the man indeed."

Angeline pouted. "I'm clearly a born beauty."

Now that he was looking at her calm and quiet side profile from a close range, Jay was inwardly surprised. "You look a lot like a friend of mine." Angeline gasped in secret.

The friend he was referring to was probably her when she was blind and did not have any makeup on, right?

Angeline had told an unintentional lie, but such was life. When you tell a big lie, you had to cover it up with endless lies.

Jay particularly hated it when others lied to him. If she told him that she had lied to him right now, he would no doubt be furious.

Angeline massaged her glabella. It would be better to wait until his memory recovered because at least at that time, he would still forgive her despite his anger.

"You must be talking about my cousin, right? We do look a lot like each other, but she's more into the pure and adorable style, whereas I'm more into the wild, enchanting, and manly style." Angeline explained sheepishly.

Grayson's handsome face twitched violently.

As it turned out, Ms. Severe did know her two completely different personalities like the back of her hand, huh?

"Oh, so you're relatives," Jay said, looking like he was enlightened.

Maybe it was because there were two presidents sitting in the back, so Grayson could feel a surge of pressure rolling over to him. After sending the two big bosses to their destination, he drove off at the speed of light.

Angeline took Jay's arm and walked into the venue.

Those who attended the wrap party were all celebrities. As soon as Angeline and Jay entered the venue, however, all the celebrities were instantly overshadowed by their presence.

Josephine was weaving her way between other famous directors and male celebrities, giving each one a toast while talking and laughing with them.

Angeline pointed at Josephine and said to Jay, "The most beautiful girl here and the one in a white dress is my friend, Josephine. She played the role of a princess before and was widely praised for it, and therefore, she won the title 'Goddess of the People'."

During the conversation, she showered Josephine with praises. A look of great admiration was plastered on her face.

Jay peered into Angeline's glistening eyes. "Do you like acting too?"

Angeline was slightly startled, then she wore a look of yearning on her face.

She had been trapped by her own romantic relationship her whole life and had never really lived the life she wanted.

"I just envy her because she can do the things she likes to do." She could not hide the disappointment in her eyes.

"Is it not good to be a president?"

Angeline shook her head and looked fixedly at him. "I want to be a wife and a mother. To be a president is the last thing I want." Jay was stunned.

After going around socializing with others, Josephine came to Angeline and Jay with two glasses of drinks in her hands-milk and red wine.

"Angeline." Josephine handed the red wine to Angeline. She then flashed a tender smile and stared at Jay brazenly, teasing him. "Is this your boyfriend? Wow, you guys are really a match made in heaven." As Josephine spoke, she could not help leaning toward Jay.

Jay stepped away indifferently and Josephine nearly fell to the ground.

Jay glared at Josephine with a trace of warning in his eyes. "Are you a mollusk?"

Josephine wanted to weep but had no tears." Angeline, he..."

Chapter 1048

Chapter 1048

Angelina's lips parted but she was hesitant to speak.

Jay must have thought of Josephine as a woman with no self-respect.

Josephine, however, merely regarded him as her brother!

"Ben, Josephine is just joking with you," Angeline said in embarrassment.

Jay uttered coldly, "Birds of a feather do flock together."

Angeline,"..."

Did he just classify her as a woman who had no self-respect?

Seeing that she had screwed up, Josephine quickly made her escape. "You guys make yourselves comfortable. I'm going to give my friends a toast."

Angeline really wanted to give a toast to a few directors to thank them for the support and guidance they had shown Josephine.

Though when she saw Jay sitting in the corner like an ice sculpture, she did not want to leave him alone, hence she had no choice but to sacrifice herself and sit in front of the gentleman like a wilted flower.

At this time, several female celebrities noticed Jay sitting in the corner and were attracted by his otherworldly charm.

"That man right there is so handsome. Is anyone here going to invite him to dance?" someone asked.

"I'll go." A female celebrity wearing a low-cut spaghetti strap sashayed to Jay with a glass of cocktail in her hand.

Other female celebrities held their breath in anticipation. They were all eager to know how the gorgeous female celebrity Kate was going to make the handsome ice-sculptured man surrender to her. Kate walked up to Jay and handed the cocktail in her hand to Jay.

Jay stared coldly at her without reaching out to take the glass.

As Angelina did not want to make too many enemies for Josephine, she had treated other celebrities in the film crew warmly thus far. When she noticed how uncomfortable Kate looked, she quickly took the cocktail on behalf of Jay.

Jay glanced sharply at her, but Angeline let out an extremely ingratiating smile. "I'll drink on his behalf."

Kate probably did not know who Angeline was since she rarely made appearances in public as Grand Asia's president.

At the sight of Angeline's soft and cute demeanor, she thought she was a pushover, hence she snatched the cocktailback and said with a dark countenance, "This cocktail isn't for you, Miss. It's for this gentleman right here."

When Jay noticed the defeated look on Angeline's face, a smile crept onto his face.

Angeline said, "I'm sorry, but he doesn't drink."

She then snatched the cocktail back, raised her head, and drained the glass.

When she finished the cocktail in the glass, she returned the empty glass to Kate. "It was amazing.

Thank you."

Kate gave Angeline a sullen look and stormed off.

Jay looked at Angeline. His voice cold when he gave her a left-handed compliment, "You can handle alcohol quite well, huh?"

Angeline chuckled dryly.

Kate returned to the group of women who were up to n o good and whispered something to them.

Then, those women started coming up in an endless stream to give Angeline a toast. With that, Angeline drank all kinds of cocktails and wine they handed to her.

She did not refuse any one of them.

Jay's countenance started looking grimmer and grimmer.

Ultimately, even male celebrities began to join in the fun.

"Hey gorgeous, would you do me the honor of a dance?"

Angeline was slightly tipsy from all the drinking and turned her head to look at Jay.

Jay sulked. "This is your business, so you figure it out yourself."

When the male celebrity saw how tipsy she was and the man did not really care about her, he put on a lecherous look at once. He reached out and pulled Angeline, barely concealing the perverted tone in his voice when he said, "Let's go, Missy."

There was a dark and sullen look in Jay's falcon-like eyes.

Chapter 1049

Chapter 1049

He was just about to step in and help Angeline when the male celebrity groped Angeline's waist, causing her to slap him hard across the face. An ear-deafening noise was heard.

The noise attracted everyone's attention.

Then, the crowd was seen turning their heads as several women could be heard shrieking. "Oh dear, did someone just slap Big B?"

The hottest male celebrity, Blake Leonard, who was younger than 30 years old, had won the best actor award three times now. Therefore, all his fans would call him by his nickname, Big B. Usually, a hot and popular superstar like that would be lauded to the skies wherever he went. It took the director major efforts to invite him over today to liven up this wrap party. He even paid the star a handsome fee just so he could turn up.

Who would have thought that Big B would be slapped by a nobody?

Big B touched his blazing face immediately and pointed at Angeline, roaring furiously. "Who do you think you are? How dare you slap me? Do you know who I am?"

Questions from the crowd erupted. "Who invited this ignorant woman?"

Josephine covered her face, refusing to look at the scene in front of her eyes.

All she ever wanted was to use her own ability to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry. She did not want others to know that she shared a special relationship with the renowned president of Grand Asia Of course, when Angeline saw how Josephine tried to wriggle out of this situation, she staggered to Big B and apologized humbly. "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person. You're my idol, Big B. I'm a fan.” Jay's lips twitched. This woman's love knows no bounds indeed.

After getting slapped in public, Big B felt humiliated at first, though at the sight of Angeline's beautiful and alluring face, coupled with the fact that she was also his fan, his anger dissipated considerably. "So you're my fan?"

"Yes, I watched every movie you starred in. I know how to sing your songs too."

The initially embarrassing scene had now turned into a live fan meeting. This left the crowd a little dumbfounded.

"If that's the case, which of my roles do you like?"

Angeline racked her brain. "Um... Emperor Augustus? Kevin? Or Nero?"

Big B's face was turning grimmer by the minute. "I didn't star in 'The Mad Mistress And National Doctor'."

Angeline felt a little defeated. "I had a little too much to drink and can't remember clearly. I'll tell you next time and memorize all the lines of every character you've ever played. You must believe me. I really am your fan."

"Can't you tell, Big B? She's toying with you." A woman reminded him viciously.

Big B said with a sullen expression, "Who invited her?"

Josephine stepped out reluctantly. "It's me."

"Hmph, just because you're a new female lead you think you can act all arrogant and haughty with me? Get lost." Big B hinted at his bodyguards with his eyes.

The bodyguards immediately surrounded Josephine and Angeline.

Jay sprung up from his seat and swept his cold gaze across the crowd. "Don't you dare!"

The bodyguards were taken aback by his fierce and stern aura. Jay said, "No matter how popular you are, you're still just an actor. Before you start exercising your power, why don't you first find out the identity of this person standing in front of you? If you want to lose your job, then that's fine, but don't drag everybody here down with you."

His string of words made all other directors, who had nothing to do with this affair at all, nervous.

"Who exactly are they, Josephine?" They finally remembered the need to ask about Angeline's identity.

Josephine sighed helplessly. "Angeline Severe, president of Grand Asia."

When her identity was exposed, it felt like a demon king had descended to teach all other unruly demons a lesson.

The venue was enveloped in pin-drop silence.

Angeline slurred, saying, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you as long as you treat Josephine well."

Everyone sighed in relief. For a moment, they thought that this female president was not as scary as the rumors said she was.

Unexpectedly, in the second half of her sentence, Angeline hissed bitterly. "If anyone deliberately makes things difficult for her, I will make sure that that person will never see the sun in Imperial Capital ever again."

Josephine smacked her own head and begged Jay, saying, "Will you please take her away, Big Brother?"

Jay uttered coldly, "If you already know that she's a terrible drinker, then don't invite her to messed up parties like this next time." Josephine apologized. "I was wrong."

In a slightly rough and aggressive manner, Jay grabbed Angeline's hand and stormed outside.

Having no idea where Grayson had driven the car to, Jay was left with no choice but to hail a cab.

After stuffing the wasted Angeline into the car, he asked her, "Where to?"

Angeline slouched gently on his shoulder and replied," I'll go wherever you go."

Jay massaged his sore and painful forehead before saying to the driver, "To Garden Of A Diary."

Along the way, she slumped limply on him as if someone had removed all the bones in her body. He straightened her body again and again but eventually gave up.

He allowed her to rest on his shoulder, but she rolled down to his lap and she soon fell asleep on his knees.

The look on his face was ghastly.

He had just made up his mind to wake this drunkard when he caught sight of her tiny and fair face. She looked as innocent as an infant when she was asleep, melting his steely and cold heart with her adorable and lovable face.

In the end, he took off his jacket and placed it over her.

When the driver pulled over at Garden Of A Diary, Jay patted her on the face. "Hey, you're home. You need to get off."

Angeline turned over and continued to sleep.

He got out of the car helplessly and dragged her out of the car.

His actions were clearly very rough, yet she continued to sleep soundly.

When Jay had dragged her into the house and tossed her on the bed, her hands suddenly reached out to wrap him around his neck.

With that, he was forced to look at her face up close.

He had just attended a wrap party and saw many well-dressed and beautiful celebrities, though none of them looked as stunning as Angeline did right now.

Angeline's hand slipped down to his waist as she embraced him tightly, unwilling to part with him.

He pulled her fingers away from him one by one, but a s soon as he removed one hand, her other hand would snake its way to him stubbornly.

In the end, he gave up and lay next to her, allowing her to embrace him at will.

Despite that, she started snuggling her way into his arms.

Jay looked helplessly at the woman in his arms." Angeline Severe, do you know how wild you are when you're drunk?"

His body was about to go up in flames from the heat of her body.

Jay was both terrified and astonished. He had been experiencing low sexual drive for the past few years, especially when he was in front of his wife. He was simply uninterested. He thought that something had to be wrong with him down there.

Though now that Angeline was in front of him, he knew that there was nothing wrong with him at all.

He needed extremely strong willpower to stop himself from harboring wicked intentions against her.

Angeline turned around without warning. Jay stared at the crazy girl and noticed that her eyes were closed. Could she be sleepwalking?

Though suddenly, Angeline crashed down against him, her lips falling on top of his.

Jay could feel like he was about to lose control

completely.

He reached out and put his hand between Angeline and his lips.

Angeline, however, had the strength of an ox. He was surprised because he did not know that he needed to use that much strength to handle her.
