Ch. 1051..1060

Chapter 1051

It was only when Angeline took his hand away like a breeze and bit him on the lip did he realize that it was too late for regrets. His enchanting falcon-like eyes widened substantially. Did Angeline just... force a kiss on him?

The most horrifying thing of all was that he clearly had the ability to resist her, yet he willingly chose to sink into her tenderness. Their lips and teeth were pressed together, binding and entangling with each other.

"Jaybie!" Angeline whined all of a sudden.

Jay pushed her away abruptly as though he was soaked in an ice current.

He felt like his feelings were being toyed with, and it was followed by a sense of humiliation that assaulted his entire being.

It turned out that the deep and passionate love that this woman had been expressing to him all this while was nothing but fake.

Jaybie?

Grand Asia's founder, Jay?

That should be him, right?

Jay did not even realize that he was jealous of himself. He staggered to his feet and sprinted to the main gate.

He hailed a cab and rushed to Grand Asia Medical Department.

Marilyn had dozed off in Tiger's ward.

Jay looked at both mother and son who were asleep and felt tremendously disgusted with himself. As a married man whose son was still lying in the hospital, he had failed to resist Angeline's temptation and went to attend a stupid wrap party. He even almost... did something unspeakable with her.

What a disgrace!

An error like that could never happen again.

He walked over and called out softly, "You should go home and rest, Marilyn."

Marilyn woke up with drowsy eyes. Her face broke into a grin when she saw Jay.

"It's not easy for you to work in the day, darling. You should go back and rest instead," Marilyn said.

Tiger's eyes shot open as he clutched tightly onto Marilyn's hand, pleading, "I want Mommy to stay with me."

There was self-blame in his eyes. He had failed as a father.

As he had not shown Tiger enough care and concern in the past few years, it resulted in the child distancing himself from him.

Jay stroked Tiger's cheek gently. "I'll cook something delicious for you tomorrow."

"Mm." Tiger nodded.

With that, Jay left the Grand Asia Hospital.

It was already eleven-thirty at night when he returned to Lumino Garden. When Jay took the elevator to the seventh floor and the door opened, he saw a man in his 30s with a sloppy beard and unkempt curly hair. He smelled strongly of cigarette smoke.

Jay frowned in disgust and strode off.

When he walked to the door of his house and found a cigarette butt lying on the ground, Jay's expression sank. He turned his sharp and stern gaze toward the elevator door only to find the man staring back at him.

When they gazed into each other's eyes, flames started to rise. Jay caught sight of a malicious glint in the man's eyes.

Jay's falcon-like eyes froze into ice at once as he stared back at him with a kingly aura. Stunned, the man shut the elevator door in a haste and left.

Jay pulled out a tissue paper and picked up the cigarette butts from the ground. He suppressed the nauseating feeling in his stomach. When he took a whiff, the pungent cigarette smell made him frown. The smell of smoke was exactly the same as the scent on the man's body just now.

Was the man here to see Marilyn then?

Jay could not sleep that night.

For a moment, he recalled the man lingering in front of his house, and the next moment, the sound of Angeline passionately calling out to Jaybie echoed in his head!

The former had set off a fire in him for some reason, and the latter had put him in a state of distress. Both emotions were screaming in his head, and all he wanted to do was set himself ablaze. Jake woke up very early the next morning.

Chapter 1052

Chapter 1052

After cooking soup for Marilyn and Tiger, Jay quickly made his way to the hospital.

Angeline stood at the door of the hospital elevator with her arms crossed and watched with deep resentment in her eyes as Jay approached her.

She was completely wasted last night, but he had left her behind even when she was in such a wasted state.

In the middle of the night, Angeline had even bawled her eyes out because he was not there.

How indifferent was he to be so stingy that he could not even show her a tiny bit of concern and care?

Jay walked up to her, glanced at her with a mild gaze, and walked past her into the elevator.

The ice enveloping his entire being, as well as the distant look in his eyes, left Angeline puzzled.

Things were clearly looking better for them both, but how did it suddenly drop to a freezing point all of a sudden?

In the elevator, neither of them spoke a word. The air felt extremely stifling.

"Hey, don't you know how to greet your boss when you see her?" Angeline had no choice but to break the

silence first.

Jay wore an unsmiling face and darted her an ambiguous glance without saying a word.

"That was very ungentlemanly of you last night. How could you leave your drunk female boss alone at home? Not to mention a really beautiful female boss too. Weren't you worried at all that I'd be in danger?" Angeline questioned.

"I'd have been in greater danger if I stayed there with you," Jay said.

Angeline,

"Don't you know that you get really wild when you're drunk? You really need to stop drinking next time," he said coldly.

After giving her his two cents, he proceeded to put on his ever-unsmiling face and did not speak a word again.

"You're not... mad at me, are you?" Had she not known him so well, Angeline would never have guessed that this guy was actually sulking.

Back then, she took a picture with a girl with short hair and a gender-neutral appearance. She thought that he would be able to tell that it was a girl, yet who would have thought, as soon as he saw that photo, he started sulking right away.

He ignored her for three days.

She was still young back then, hence she thought it was normal for a reticent man to not say anything because he was under too much pressure at work.

After three days, he could not stand the cold war himself and ran over to embrace her, spilling out his grievances. "I'm jealous, can't you tell?"

She was dumbfounded. After asking about the details, she learned that the King of Jealousy was actually jealous of her female friend.

After explaining to him with a smile, he fixed his bad habit of having a cold war with her whenever he started sulking.

He realized that she was a slow-witted girl, hence whenever he grew mad and started a cold war with her, he could forget about gaining any sort of consolation from her. Now that he had lost his memory, this bad habit of his returned as well.

Why was he mad at her this time, though?

Why was she never able to figure out why he was mad every single time?

"Why are you mad?" She reached out and tugged at his sleeve.

He retracted his hand and ignored her.

How could he possibly tell her?

It was extremely absurd for a married man like him to get jealous over another woman.

Jay was quite puzzled actually. How was it possible that this she-devil could tell at one glance that he was mad at her?

Where did she cultivate those sharp and discerning eyes?

Since he refused to speak, Angeline had no choice but to make wild guesses.

"I know. You must be jealous, right?"

Apart from being jealous, she had never seen him behaving like this for anything else.

Jay's straight and tall back froze a little as a trace of astonishment slid across his heart. How... How did she guess it right again?

"Ben, you're the only one I have a crush on." Angeline confessed shamelessly. 1

Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053

Jay's eyes dimmed. If it was not for the fact that he knew she was in love with another man, perhaps not even an indifferent and uncaring man like him could resist her high-level teasing, right? "Shut up." He turned around and glared viciously at her.

Angeline cowered in fright.

Jay turned around and stormed off with a steely resolve.

Angeline followed behind him with a gloomy expression.

As soon as the two got out of the elevator, they ran into Tiger's surgeon. As soon as the doctor saw Angeline, he reported to her quickly.

"Ms. Severe, Tiger's condition has suddenly deteriorated. He's now in an extremely critical condition..."

Jay was extremely anxious. "What happened to Tiger?"

Angeline stared at Jay with a look of concern and consoled him. "Don't worry too much. Relapse can sometimes happen when the child's immune system hasn't fully recovered yet..." Jay stared coldly at her. "Are you making excuses for your incompetence?"

Angeline,

"Oh, my son."

Marilyn's wailing could be heard booming out on the corridor.

Jay sprinted to Marilyn's side.

"Marilyn."

Marilyn threw herself into Jay's arms, bawling her eyes out.

"The doctor said that our son isn't going to make it, darling." Marilyn complained tearfully.

"How could it be? He was still doing okay yesterday, wasn't he?"

Jay patted her on the back and consoled her, saying," It's alright. Nothing will happen to him."

"Darling, I doubt the skills of the doctors here. Maybe we should transfer Tiger to another hospital. Someone told me that it's better to go to a public hospital to seek treatment-"

Angeline stifled the surging rage that was threatening to spurt out of her heart. She reasoned with Marilyn and said, "Although Grand Asia is a private hospital, it has the best technology in the country. This is not a good time to transfer the child to another hospital, but if you insist, then you have to first wait until his

condition stabilizes."

Marilyn screamed hysterically, "Best hospital? When Tiger started crying in the middle of the night last night, I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't find a single doctor in the doctor's office..."

Jay glared at Angeline furiously. "Ms. Severe, do you have an explanation for your employees' neglect of duty?"

When Angeline saw the inexplicable trace of anger in Jay's eyes, an anger that was directed at her, her heart went cold.

She had witnessed all kinds of medical disputes and seen many heartbroken relatives taking their anger out on the hospital employees. She understood where they were coming from.

However, when Jay took his anger out on her, she could not help feeling inexplicably aggrieved.

Anger was brewing in Angeline's heart. "Until we get to the bottom of this, I have nothing to say to you."

When Jay heard what she said, he suspected that she was trying to shirk responsibility.

"If anything happens to Tiger, I want all of you to be buried with him." Jay roared furiously. Angeline's face paled instantly...

Her graceful body staggered a little and she nearly fell to the ground.

Never in her wildest dreams did she expect Jay to say such ruthless words to her.

"You want me to be buried with him?" she muttered.

A trace of irritation flowed out of Jay's eyes. What sort of nonsense was coming out of his mouth?

Zayne happened to be in the hospital to retrieve medicine, and as soon as he walked out of the elevator, he saw Angelina struggling to stand still after getting hit by Jay's cold-blooded and merciless words. In an instant, Zayne was bursting with anger.

"You b*stard." He rushed over to punch Jay.

However, Angeline hugged him tightly.

She buried her face in Zayne's arms, tears streaming down her face.

"Forget it, Brother. Don't make things difficult for him."

Zayne could tell that his sister was heartbroken. Since he could not bash Jay up, he yelled in his face instead.

Chapter 1054

Chapter 1054

"Have you no heart at all, Ben? My sister is fully devoted to you. Ask yourself if there's anyone else in this world who treats you better than her?

"When your son was sick, my sister donated her blood to him. She's Grand Asia's president, one who has a net worth of trillions of dollars. Do you think she just casually shows kindness to just about anyone? Had it not been for your sake, she wouldn't be helping your family at all... And this is how you repay her unfaltering devotion?"

Zayne was driven mad.

Afraid that Zayne would fight with Jay, Angeline quickly pulled Zayne away.

"Let's go, Brother."

Zayne roared exasperatedly. "Why are you pulling me away? Won't it be good if I could just punch him and teach him a lesson for you?

"It's your fault for spoiling and encouraging his revolting behavior. Who the hell dares to climb all over you in Imperial Capital?"

Zayne's cursing and yelling gradually dropped to a whisper.

At this moment, Jay was slowly calming down as well.

Actually, he regretted it immediately after saying those words.

When he saw Angeline weeping like a child, he felt disconcerted.

In fact, he did not blame her for Tiger's deteriorating condition, but there was no denying that he was indeed in a towering rage. Ever since he heard her calling out the name 'Jaybie' last night, he had been holding back the wave of anger in his heart with nowhere to vent it out.

Earlier, his pent up rage and anger finally exploded.

He knew that he was using Tiger's condition as a pretext to make a fuss.

Marilyn was so afraid that she could not even cry out anymore.

"Let's go," Jay said with a dark and gloomy countenance.

He then took Marilyn to the intensive care unit, but the doctor stopped them from going inside to visit the child.

"The child is in a critical condition. It's best that you go in and visit him after his condition stabilizes."

Marilyn refused to obey and started yelling, "Who knows what you'll do to him if we can't see him?"

Angeline walked out and informed the nurse next to her straight away. "Take her away. No one is allowed t

o talk loudly outside the intensive care unit."

Jay felt particularly awful when he saw Angeline's pink eyes.

He wanted to say something to placate her, but Angeline ignored him completely and turned around to enter the control room.

Angeline's imposing voice soon rang out from the room. "I want you to check the tape and see where the f*ck did the doctor on duty go last night."

Jay had no intention of holding the hospital responsible at all and was surprised that she insisted to get to the bottom of this matter.

In the control room, Angeline sat in front of the computer screen herself, trying to find out what exactly happened last night.

Ultimately, she noticed something amiss.

Marilyn had slipped out of the hospital with the child in her arms in the middle of the night.

An hour later, she brought the child back in a state of panic, and it was exactly at this time that the doctor on duty went to the bathroom.

Angeline stood up with a sullen countenance. When she walked out of the control room, she looked like she had been possessed by a demon, looking ruthless and violent. When Angeline appeared in front of Jay and Marilyn, Marilyn was so terrified by the look in her eyes that

she kept retreating behind Jay.

"Darling!"

She held Jay's hand firmly for protection.

Jay frowned and looked at Angeline with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Was she here to get back at him after what happened?

As long as she could vent out her anger, he would let her beat him and scold him as she liked.

Though who knew, Angeline walked up to him and commanded coldly, "Get out of my way."

It was only then did Jay realize that her anger was directed at Marilyn.

Marilyn was innocent, though...

Angeline pushed him away without warning and reached out to grab Marilyn's hand. She did so in an extremely rough manner.

"What are you doing, Angeline?" Jay reprimanded her loudly.

Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055

Angeline glared at him before dragging Marilyn in a rough manner to the side of the wall with several hospital rules pasted on it.

"Can you read?" Angeline chided sternly.

Marilyn was shuddering all over due to this woman's imposing aura and stammered, "Some of it."

"Hospital rule number five. Read it."

Marilyn stammered, "During... During the patient's stay in the hospital, the patient is not allowed to leave the hospital without permission. The hospital will not be held responsible if anything happens to the patients who leave the hospital against medical advice."

"Do you know what this means?" Angeline roared.

Marilyn contracted her neck, afraid to utter a single word.

Jay narrowed his falcon-like eyes. There was a deeper meaning to why Angeline was doing this.

Angeline dragged Marilyn to Jay. Perhaps it was because she was still mad at him, hence she was still keeping a distance from him.

"Your wife snuck the child out of the hospital at three i

n the morning last night before rushing her way back to the hospital in a state of panic an hour later with the injured child in her arms to look for a doctor. The doctor had gone to the bathroom for a moment and she made a hue and cry about the doctor neglecting his duty."

At the end of the sentence, she added angrily, "If you have any doubts about what I say, then feel free to go in the control room to check the surveillance tapes."

Jay stared at Marilyn in disbelief and reprimanded her furiously, "Why did you take the child out in the middle of the night?"

Marilyn stuttered, "Tiger said he was bored, so I took him out to get some fresh air."

Jay was so furious that he did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

"Hah!" he sneered weakly.

Angeline snapped. "Go and complete the discharge procedure for your child. Grand Asia can't treat your child anymore."

Marilyn slumped to the ground in shock. She pulled Angeline's hand wretchedly and pleaded piteously, "I was wrong, Ms. Severe. Please don't make Tiger leave. I beg you." Marilyn grabbed her feet and started knocking her head on the ground.

Over and over again, she smashed her head to the ground viciously. In no time at all, her forehead was bloodied and badly injured. Angeline remained indifferent.

Jay stared at Angeline, realizing at this moment that she was not someone who would treat just about anyone nicely for no reason. "Get up, Marilyn." Jay could tell that even if Marilyn knocked her head to death, there was still no way she could soften Angeline's heart. What she wanted was for him to apologize.

Marilyn clambered to her feet and tottered. "What should we do, darling?"

When Angeline saw how much he cared about Marilyn, she was so furious that she turned around to walk away.

Jay chased after her with his long legs and suddenly reached out to hold Angeline's hand. "What exactly do you want, Angeline?"

Angeline turned around, her face still cold. "You want me to be buried with your child if he dies, right? I, the president of Grand Asia, am supporting millions of people across the country. I can't afford to die. In order to protect myself, I have no choice but to send your precious baby away."

"Don't be angry." His voice sounded a little hoarse and there was a hint of annoyance in his voice.

Initially, Angeline had already made up her mind to ignore him so he would know that she had a temper too. Otherwise, he would think of her as a doormat and trample on her as he liked!

However...

Her heart softened at once when she heard the once-powerful young master pleading with her in an almost ingratiating tone.

"Hmph." She snorted to express her dissatisfaction.

She then compromised hopelessly and said, "Don't worry, I won't take it out on an innocent child."

The frost in Jay's voice vanished completely. "I know."

Angeline explained to him furiously. "The reason why Tiger's condition deteriorated this time is that he got injured outside of the hospital. There's dysfunction to his blood coagulation system, hence his critical condition."

With that said, she walked away and left him there.

Frost lingered in Jay's eyes as he cast his falcon-like gaze at Marilyn.

Marilyn was trembling all over from his sharp gaze. Jay walked up to her with a grim and sullen expression, then held back the rage in his heart as he questioned, "Aren't you going to explain to me why you took Tiger out of the hospital?"

Chapter 1056

Chapter 1056

Marilyn answered timidly, "Didn't I already tell you?"

"What about his injury? How are you going to explain that?"

"He accidentally fell, but it's just a small wound. It's nothing major at all."

Jay fumed. "He has a dysfunctioning blood coagulation system. Minor injuries can be fatal, don't you know that?"

Marilyn replied, "I know now."

Feeling helpless, Jay shook his head continuously." You ignorant woman."

He then flicked his sleeve and left.

Marilyn squatted on the ground awkwardly. At this moment, all her disguise was torn off and the panic in her eyes was out in full view.

She had not wanted to take Tiger out of the hospital in the middle of the night either.

However, that b*stard Ken received news from somewhere and heard that Tiger was ill. He gave her a call to tell her that he was coming for a visit. How could she possibly allow Ken to show up in the hospital? If that happened, their affair would no doubt

be exposed. She was driven into a corner and had no choice but to agree to allow Ken to see Tiger.

She thought that Tiger's condition was stable and that Ken would leave after he saw Tiger, yet who would have expected Tiger to scrape his knee... Hence, Marilyn had no choice but to lie to everyone.

Fortunately, she managed to get away with it.

At the thought of this, Marilyn felt relieved.

After eight hours of emergency treatment, Tiger was finally out of danger.

Through the thick glass wall, Angeline stared fixedly a t Jay who was sitting outside of the intensive care unit.

When she saw how worried and anxious he was about Tiger, Angeline felt like a knife was slicing across her heart.

She sighed heavily, and her desire to punish him vanished completely.

He was tired enough, so how could she possibly have the heart to aggravate the situation?

She walked around the glass wall and came to Jay's side, saying, "You should stay here and take care of Tiger for a few days. Don't worry about the company." Jay nodded. "Thank you."

Angeline said, "There's no need to say these two words between us."

Jay was slightly stunned.

"Take care of yourself." With that said, Angeline turned around and walked toward the elevator.

When Jay stared at her elegant back, Zayne's voice suddenly rang out in his head. 'My sister is fully devoted to you. How can you do this to her?

'It's your fault for spoiling and encouraging his revolting behavior. Who the hell dares to climb all over you in Imperial Capital?'

A trace of doubt flowed out of Jay's falcon-like eyes.

"Why are you so nice to me, Angeline Severe?"

A week later, Tiger recovered.

Perhaps it was because he was worried about Marilyn taking care of the child, or maybe he was subconsciously trying to avoid Angeline, so Jay ended up staying in the hospital to look after his son for seven days.

Just as he wished, Angeline did not appear in front of him as well.

Initially, Jay did not like it when she made a lot of noise in front of him every day. However, now that she had suddenly vanished from his life, he felt inexplicably disappointed instead.

He knew now that she had crept into his heart unknowingly.

Missing someone was painful.

Angeline cared neither for food nor drinks lately, looking very much wan and sallow.

Even though she missed him, she would grit her teeth and force herself to endure it whenever she recalled how cold and ruthless he treated her. Her approach of pursuing men with warm feelings was only me with cold rebukes. It was not only ineffective, but it also made her look as if she had no self-dignity.

Chapter 1057

Chapter 1057

On the eighth day.

Jay finally came to work.

As soon as he entered the Grand Asia's lobby on the ground floor, he ran into Angeline and Seth arguing.

"Ms. Severe, why did you allocate much less money to Grand Asia Titus Enterprise Department this month?" Seth was filled with righteous indignation when he questioned Angeline.

With a stern look on her face, Angeline uttered coldly," Because your department didn't achieve the target goal. The bonus deducted from your department will be transferred to other departments that have exceeded their goals."

Seth refused to take this lying down. "Ms. Severe, you've been trying to reduce Titus Enterprise's scale for the past three years, and we know that. You just want Titus Enterprise to vanish completely, don't you?"

Angeline was at the end of her patience. "Your Titus Enterprise? Hehe, Seth, let me jog your memory for a bit. Titus Enterprise has already changed its name to Grand Asia three years ago. It's now called Grand Asia Titus Enterprise."

"That's because you snatched it by fair means or foul." Seth roared.

Angeline was infuriated by Seth's attitude of siding with outsiders instead of his own family and yelled at him, "Seth Severe, I will forgive you for being disrespectful to me this time because you're my halfbrother. If you raise a hue and cry like that in front of me next time, I certainly won't let you off so easily!"

Seth was slightly startled by Angeline's powerful and invincible aura but soon held his head high again.

He knew Angeline very well. She was nothing but a paper tiger.

Seth darted a glance at Jay who was standing on the opposite side and a wicked light emitted out of his eyes.

Unwilling to admit that he was outdone, he yelled, "Do you even think of me as your brother? All you ever care about is that man. Since childhood, you've only listened to him. Just because he asked you to annex other companies, you then started a reign of terror. Ask yourself, how many families are broken and unemployed because of this?"

Jay's thin and charming lips curled into a self-deprecating sneer. He had indeed turned into that man's replacement.

He strode with his long legs toward the elevator.

Smack!

All of a sudden, an ear-splitting sound was heard.

Even a calm man like Jay could not help but turn to look at the source of the sound.

Angeline was glaring at Seth. "Seth Severe, you have no right to comment on our merits and faults. I want you to go back this instant and hand in your resignation. I don't want to see your face in Grand Asia ever again."

Seth started sneering. "I've touched a raw nerve, didn't I? You've committed too many crimes and that's why both of you have gone from being a match made in heaven to an ill-matched couple!" Angeline launched a kick that landed directly on Seth's chest.

"You have a death wish, don't you, Seth Severe? No one in Imperial Capital has the guts to mock him in front of me, so how dare you?" Angeline's beautiful face turned ferocious at once. When Seth realized that he had crossed the line and thought of the unimaginable consequences waiting for him, he grumpily shut his foul mouth.

After smoothing out her slightly disheveled suit, Angeline walked toward the elevator with a sullen look on her face.

Jay stared at Angeline's dark and sullen expression while thinking, 'If that man is her taboo subject...

'What about me?'

He was nothing but a clown.

When Angeline walked up to him, Jay remarked cynically, "Siblings killing each other? No dramas out there can be more exciting than this!"

Angeline stared speechlessly at him. "He married a black-hearted wife who founded a tiny company outside of Grand Asia whereas he snuck into Grand Asia as a lurker. Both vile characters have been cooperating perfectly and all they ever think about is how to bully me."

At this point, she snickered and said, "What they don't know, though, is that this lady right here is a reincarnation of a wild mythical beast who only attacks and doesn't retreat. Anyone who wants to move my cheese can dream on."

Jay could not help but laugh. He was a far-sighted and calm man who knew how to make a clear distinction between business and personal affairs.

Chapter 1058

Chapter 1058

"Business is like a battlefield. Do you think you can solve problems with only your mouth?" Jay asked.

Angeline stared at him in a daze. "Do you have any good ideas then?"

Jay asked, "Did you turn many acquired companies out there like Titus Enterprise into departments in Grand Asia?"

Angeline nodded. "50 percent."

Jay mused. "Your current state of coexistence with these companies will not last very long. If they turn their coat collectively one day, coupled with the fact that they were once Grand Asia employees who are very familiar with Grand Asia's operations and technology, I'm afraid not even a lovesick woman like you can save such a huge company."

Angeline vowed, saying, "Don't you worry. I won't let Grand Asia fall as long as I live."

Jay's eyes turned cold abruptly. This woman was hopelessly in love with the founder of Grand Asia.

Of course, it was necessary for Angeline to take Jay's advice. She mulled it over on the spot and said, "I have to find a way to eliminate these bad apples." "I'm afraid they're already staging an uprising because

you're too slow."

The elevator door opened and Jay strode away after saying those words.

As Angeline stared at his back, she felt uneasy. Jay seemed to be looking forward to Grand Asia's downfall.

"What kind of mentality is that?" Angeline sighed gloomily.

When she returned to the president's office, Grayson was already waiting for her there.

As soon as he saw Angeline, he walked up to her immediately and handed her two folders. "Ms. Severe, here are two plans that I drew up for you to get closer to Marilyn. Please choose the most suitable one."

Angeline opened the folders and started reading carefully.

One of the plans was to enter Marilyn's house using housewarming as an excuse.

The other was to visit Tiger in an open and grand manner after he was discharged from the hospital.

Angeline closed the file and mulled it over before saying, "If we go to Lumino Garden to congratulate him on his new house, I'm afraid we'll only end up annoying him. However, if we're there to visit his son, then I'm sure he'll be pleased."

A thankful smile emerged on Grayson's good-looking face. "He loves children by nature. He educated us with love and respect when he was just a teenager and later put his heart and soul into nurturing the young masters and young mistress. Now, he's doing the same for Tiger."

Angeline nodded. "Yeah. Prepare more gifts for Tiger."

Grayson hesitated. "I'm afraid I can't be of any help in this regard, Ms. Severe."

Grayson was a 30-year-old man who never had a girlfriend before. Hence, a male chauvinist like him had no idea how to please a child.

Angeline thought for a moment and listed out a series of toys on a blank A4 paper.

There were various large-scale Legos, a branded wooden piano, Ocean World, and a clothing brand for boys.

Angeline listed all of Jenson and Baby Robbie's favorite toys and clothing brands when they were young.

She then handed the list to Grayson. "Go and buy them."

Grayson frowned slightly. These were toys bought specifically for Jens and the rest when they were young, but since Tiger was not his biological son...

Did he deserve to enjoy the same treatment as Jens and the rest?

As though she was able to read Grayson's thoughts, Angeline said, "Whether Tiger is his biological child or not, he has been treating him as his own. If he can be that big-hearted, then how can we take Tiger lightly ourselves?"

A hint of shame flashed across Grayson's eyes. "I was wrong, Ms. Severe."

 

Chapter 1059

Chapter 1059

After Tiger was discharged from the hospital, Grayson immediately gathered the company's VIPs to visit Tiger at Lumino Garden.

Angeline, however, chickened out at the last minute.

At the thought of Jay's indifference and aloofness toward her, she lost the courage to approach him and was afraid that she would only be jumping into a fire.

Before he left, Grayson asked Angeline over and over again, "Are you really not going to go, Ms. Severe?"

Angeline replied firmly, "No."

When Grayson left, Angeline felt a deep sense of loss.

Seeing that Angeline was in a bad mood, Grayson let out a heavy sigh and comforted her. "You're still angry at him?"

Angeline made no reply. It was considered that she had assented tacitly.

Zayne said, "Though he sounded a little mean that day, he has his reasons. You know that he has no principles when it comes to protecting his family, don't you? He treats Tiger as his own, so when something happens to Tiger, he feels heartbroken and sad too. If he doesn't take it out on the president, which is you, then who is he going to take it out on?"

Angeline stared at Zayne in a daze. "Why are you speaking nice things about him?"

Zayne sighed. "The moment I think about how he has sacrificed himself three years ago in exchange for so many other lives, I think that he's worthy of forgiveness no matter the mistakes he makes right now. "If not for his amnesia, Angeline, then he'll still be the man who is willing to risk his life for you! Are you really not going to forgive him?"

Angeline feared up.

"I'm not mad at him. I just think it's useless for me to turn up in front of him every day," Angeline said helplessly.

"He's a married man with amnesia. If you approach him like that, you'll only end up irking him."

Zayne sighed helplessly. "But if you don't approach him, then you'll have no chance at all."

Angeline recalled how Jaybie used to treat her as his treasure. He cared for her, loved her, and never made her feel unloved or omitted. He tolerated all her shortcomings.

Her voice when she flattered him when she was young started echoing in her mind.

"Jaybie, if I ever run into any problems at all, you must never give up on me, okay?"

"Why would I give up a treasure that I so greatly cherish?" He stroked her hair and flashed a pampering smile.

"Unless I die, I will never give up on you," he had vowed resolutely.

Angeline stood up without warning and said, "Let's go."

Zayne's face broke into a grin. "I'll drive you."

Lumino Garden.

Grayson and the rest rang Jay's rental house's doorbell, and Marilyn rushed to open the door.

"We're here to visit Tiger, Marilyn," Grayson said.

Marilyn looked at the enormous gift bags each of them was holding and grinned from ear to ear." Please, come in." Jay was sitting in front of the piano holding Tiger in his arms, teaching him how to play the piano.

Tiger clearly had no talent in playing the piano.

The mixed-up keys he played had produced a shrill noise instead.

"Go and play." After putting the child on the ground, Jay sauntered over gracefully to greet Grayson and the rest.

"What brings you here?" he asked with a sullen expression.

What was supposed to be a lively and cheerful occasion dropped to a freezing point because of what he said.

No one was brave enough to answer his question.

Jay swept his gaze across everyone's face, and when he could not find the face that he longed to see, a trace o f disappointment flashed in his heart.

She had probably given up on him after he said those cruel words to her that day, right?

He was suddenly in a bad mood and spoke to Grayson and the rest in a harsh, bitter tone, "You can leave the toys here and leave. The child still needs his rest."

Grayson gulped. He mustered up his courage and said, "Ben, we received orders from Ms. Severe to come and visit the child. At least let us see the child so it'll be easier for us to explain it to her when we get back."

"Yes, Her Majesty will kill us if we don't complete the task," the rest echoed.

Chapter 1060

"She'll kill you?" Jay frowned.

Grayson explained. "Ms. Severe will force us to go on a blind date. We're all celibates, so getting married is, for us, more terrifying than getting decapitated." Jay was stupefied.

After a very long time, he mocked. "She must have a lot of free time, huh?"

With Grayson and the rest insisting on staying, Jay had no choice but to say to Marilyn, "Go buy some good wine and food to serve them."

Marilyn responded, "Sure."

Marilyn had just packed her things and was ready to go out when she bumped into Angeline and Zayne who arrived for a visit.

Marilyn retreated a few steps in shock. "Darling?"

When Jay heard how nervous and uneasy Marilyn sounded, he turned over to look in her direction.

At the sight of Angeline clad in a smart suit and her long black hair hanging loosely down her waist, his eyes glistened with an imperceptible delight.

As Jay walked to the door, Angeline looked calmly and indifferently at Marilyn. "We're here to visit Tiger,

Marilyn."

Marilyn held Angeline in awe and veneration. When she heard that she was here to see Tiger, she quickly shouted at Tiger, "Come here, Tiger."

When Tiger scurried over with his short legs, Angeline bent down to meet him. This was her first time meeting Tiger. He had slender eyebrows, a flat nose, bony ears, and thick lips.

Though he was considered to be quite good-looking, there was still a huge disparity between his and Jaybie's genes.

Angeline pinched Tiger's face and stood up, making a left-handed joke. "The child looks nothing like you, Ben. It's a pity that your good looks have gone to waste."

Marilyn dismissed Tiger with a guilty conscience. "Go and play."

Jay's falcon-like eyes contracted abruptly as he stared at Angeline meaningfully.

Was she insinuating that Tiger was not his own?

"A child's genes are a combination of both parents. Besides, genetic mutations can also happen. I'm sure your physical education teacher was the one who taught you lessons on genetics, right?" Angeline,"..."

He would know just how powerful his genes were when he saw Jenson and Baby Robbie.

They were an exact copy of him.

Angeline teased, saying, "Are all your genes recessive genes? Why didn't Tiger inherit one good trait of yours?"

Jay replied, "Although there's a minuscule chance of this happening, you can't rule out such probability either."

Angeline,

She tried to plant a seed of doubt in his heart so as to slowly reveal the fact that Tiger was not his son, yet did not expect him to show so much trust in Marilyn...

Angeline did not want to argue with him anymore and took off her shoes, walking in barefooted.

Zayne handed a gift card to Marilyn and said, "Please accept it, Marilyn. This is just a small gift from us."

Marilyn glanced timidly at Jay, but Jay was looking at Angeline.

He frowned deeply at the sight of her bare feet which were adorned with anklets.

Marilyn took the gift card and grinned. "Thank you."

Zayne looked at his now empty hands and said with a dry smile, "Don't mention it."

Marilyn then went out shopping for groceries.

Jay grabbed a pair of disposable wool slippers from the shoe cabinet and walked over to Angeline. "Put

them on," he spoke in an almost commanding tone.

Angeline stared blankly at him...

The stern tone in his voice sounded exactly the same as many years ago.

"The floor is clean. There's no need to wear any indoor slippers." She gave the exact same answer just like many years ago.

The temperature around Jay dropped abruptly.

Angeline then quickly put on the slippers obediently.
