Chapter 1151
Steven was a sly and cunning man after all. To make sure that the plan was foolproof, he reminded Sera in a particularly cautious manner. "Find a chance to approach Angeline, Sera. Try and find out how serious her illness really is. If my guess is right, Angeline is probably fully paralyzed this time. If that's really the case, then we'll join hands with Titus Enterprise in the shareholder meeting five days later and force her to stand down."
Sera glanced at Nancy smugly. It was as if being regarded highly by Steven was equaled to receiving a supreme honor. "Okay, Dad."
The next day, Sera disguised herself as a patient's family member and snuck into Grand Asia Hospital. When she came to the VIP ward, Sera waited for Zayne to visit Shirley before sneaking into Angelina's ward.
Angeline was lying on the bed, paralyzed. When she saw Sera, a hint of anger emitted from her eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
Sera took off her sunglasses and walked up to Angeline.
She had, after all, stayed in the Severe family for many years and personally took care of the fully paralyzed
Grand Old Master Severe. When she saw Angeline, she could tell that she was paralyzed.
Sera raised Angeline's weak arm and laughed sarcastically. "You resemble Grandpa in so many ways, Angeline. You're as clever as him, as talented as him, and even your anxiety disorder symptoms are exactly the same as him."
Angeline closed her eyes. "Get lost."
Sera smiled triumphantly. "The day I've been waiting for has come, Angeline. Say, what do you think Master Ares would do when he sees you in this half-dead state? I suppose he might give you a slap because you killed his wife and children. There's now bitter resentment existing between the two of you. Master Ares probably can't wait to kill you himself in order to relieve the hatred in his heart." Tears oozed out of Angeline's eyes. She finally knew why Jaybie was so furious and impulsive that day. They had portrayed her as such a vicious and cruel person in front of him.
She was clearly the person who loved him the most in this world, but in his heart, she had turned into a person who had hurt him the most instead.
Even when bitter hatred had pulled them apart, Jaybie still could not bring himself to punish her.
Angeline felt a gentle spring breeze in her heart." Thanks for telling me this, Sera."
Sera was taken aback. She was very disappointed because she did not see the exasperated look on Angeline's face. "You must be crazy, right? I can't wait to see you die and here you are thanking me instead?"
Angelina said, "You have helped me to see how he truly feels about me. Thank you." She let out a dazzling smile.
"You're crazy."
Angelina then showed her the door. "Zayne went to visit Shirley. She's not doing very well. If Zayne comes back and sees Shirley's murderer, what will he do to you, I wonder? If you don't want to be beaten to death by him, then hurry up and get lost! Goodbye, I won't see you out."
A hint of panic flashed across Sera's face. Despite that, she gritted her teeth and put on a brave front. "What are you so smug about now that you're paralyzed, Angeline?" Having said that, she left in a flurry.
Angeline chuckled contemptuously when she saw her scurrying away timidly.
Meanwhile in Shirley's ward.
Zayne sat by the bed and asked Shirley tenderly and carefully, "What would you like to eat?"
Shirley's illness was now contained. Her cheeks looked rosy and she was in high spirits.
"I'm fine with anything."
When Zayne picked up a pear from the fruit basket, Shirley stopped him and said, "Little Angeline said that pears signify separation. We don't want to separate, do we?" Zayne's hands suspended in the air before he took an apple instead. "Apples are fine, right?"
Chapter 1152
Chapter 1152
Shirley smiled brightly. "Apples are good. Little Angeline said that apples represent safety throughout the year!"
Zayne muttered as he peeled the apples, "Don't always listen to Angeline. All she thinks about is lovey-dovey stuff. I don't see how she's smarter than you."
He continued, "Besides, you're the bis sis and she's the little sister. I can't control her, so you have to help me. Use your authority as Big Sis when she does something wrong and teach her a lesson. She'll listen to you, but she won't listen to me."
Shirley replied, "Why would Little Angeline do something wrong? She's kind, and she treats bad people with amity. She gives everything she has to the people around her. How could I scold her?"
Zayne was surprised, so he spat the piece of apple out from his mouth and cringed. "Did you marry me or her? I've been with you for so long, but I've never seen you worship me like that."
Shirley smiled. "Zayne, Little Angeline wanted us to divorce. Did she mention that to you?"
Zayne stood up in shock. When he saw Shirley smiling so brightly, he thought that he was
overreacting.
However, he had heard her right. Angeline wanted to force him to divorce Shirley, so that should be something very serious.
"What right does she have to do that? She has so many other single people in Grand Asia to worry about, doesn't she? Why is she worried about us married people?"
Zayne got more worried as he thought about it. "That girl, she's worried about so much stuff. No wonder she has anxiety."
Zayne was worried that Angeline's suggestion would hurt Shirley, so he held his hand up and swore to her." Shirley, don't you worry. I'm not someone who won't see something to the end. Since I've promised to take care of you forever, forever it is."
Shirley nodded and said, "I believe that you'll take care of me for the rest of my life, whether I'm your wife or not."
Zayne shook his head profusely. "If you're not my wife, I won't take care of you. I'll only take care of my family. As long as I have enough to eat, why would I care about other people?"
Shirley smiled but did not say anything.
Zayne narrowed his eyes slightly. "You seem happy about Angeline wanting us to divorce. Shirley
Thomas, what... do you mean by this? Are you unsatisfied with me? Is that why you're more than happy to divorce me?"
Shirley motioned and said, "Zayne, you clearly like Josephine, so why did you hide that from me in the beginning and married me instead?"
"She loved me, so I owed her a piece of me. At least we don't owe each other anymore. But I owe you a piece of me and..."
"So you married me to give me a home, is that right?"
Zayne nodded reluctantly. "Shirley, I might not have done everything well, but I'm trying my best."
"You're dumb indeed."
II,,
Shirly continued, "Do you know that Little Angeline wanted me to return my love to you and give you back your freedom..."
Zayne was agitated, saying, "Just treat her words like the wind. You don't have to take her so seriously.
She's on the same side as Josephine. If Jay and I didn't exist, I think they would get together as a couple."
Shirley put her hand over Zayne's mouth and said," Zayne, let me finish. Little Angeline said that we have no love between us. Josephine loves you so much, and you love her too. If I give you your love back, then I'll have a burden off my chest as well. It would feel so much better.
"My dream, on the other hand, was always to have a warm and loving family. Little Angeline said that she'll suggest to Grandfather to let me become a daughter of the Severe family. So, I'll be your big sister from then on. You all will have to listen to me."
Shirley lifted her hand away from Zayne's mouth as she finished talking.
Chapter 1153
Chapter 1153
Zayne gaped. "My goodness, that brain of Angel's really is something different. Why didn't I think of that in the first place?"
Shirley smiled and teased him, saying, "If you were able to think of a perfect plan like that, then you would already have a grown-up child with Josephine."
Zayne looked at Shirley. "You... You don't feel bad about this at all?"
Shirley shook her head. "I can't be happier."
Zayne's face suddenly became ashen. "Sigh, why do I feel like a failure?"
He glanced at Shirley, still feeling somewhat adamant. "So I'm not attractive anymore? You don't feel the slightest bit reluctant to leave me?"
Shirley replied, "If you're not attractive, then how could you have charmed Josephine? Zayne, I like you too. It's just that my feelings for you would never be as strong as Josephine's. I don't want to get in the way of your happiness as well as Josephine's. That will only make me feel guilty."
Zayne's tears welled up in his eyes. He held Shirley's hands tightly in his. "Thank you, Shirley. Being able to know you have been the best thing that ever
happened to me."
Shirley was like a warm-hearted sister as she patted Zayne's head. "Go, go get Josephine back."
Zayne said authoritatively, "We're not divorced yet. An amazing man like me wouldn't do something like having two women at once."
Shirley could not help but laugh. "You and your mouth. Aren't you afraid of Josephine running away with someone else?"
Zayne said directly, "Who wants an all-chest-but-no-brain woman like her?!"
After blabbering about, Zayne became serious once more. "Shirley, when you're done with your surgery, I'll bring you back to your family, alright?"
Shirley smiled brightly. "Mm."
Zayne went out of Shirley's ward and into Angelina's.
At the door, Grayson was about to push it open when Zayne stepped forward and put his hand around Grayson's mouth from the back. He wanted to silently bring Grayson away from Angelina. He did not expect that Grayson would throw him over his shoulder and onto the ground.
Zayne gritted his teeth in pain. "Grayson, you..."
Grayson noticed that it was Zayne and roared. "Why were you sneaking up on me?"
Zayne clumsily got off the floor and said arrogantly,"
Angeline is sick right now, so I can't let you bother her with Grand Asia's matters. You're always talking about Grand Asia and nothing else."
Grayson looked at Zayne. "Do you hear yourself? The reason that the president is sick right now is that Grand Asia is in danger. As long as we don't resolve Grand Asia's problems, then the president will be worried every single day. Her illness will never get better."
Zayne replied, "Bullsh*t, you're pulling my leg. You think that I don't know that your life belongs to Young Master Ares? You're loyal only to him. Grand Asia is Young Master Ares', and you defend Grand Asia with your life because that is how you show him loyalty."
Grayson had a striking and sharp aura around him." You're right, I only listen to President Ares' orders. But do you know what was the last thing he told me three years ago?"
Zayne replied, "I don't know, and I don't care. You just can't disturb my sister from taking a good rest today."
Grayson said, "Three years ago, the day before President Ares got into danger, he told us personally that from then on, President Severe would be the new master of Ghost. So we should serve her for the rest of our lives."
Zayne was stunned.
Grayson's voice was choking at that point. "After
President Ares came back home from all that he went through, all of us from Ghost wanted to go back to his side so badly, but we didn't do that. Ghost remains loyal to President Severe, that's our promise to him.
"By obeying his orders, we show our greatest respect to him," Grayson muttered.
Zayne pushed the door open, his voice sounding somewhat deep. "Cut the crap and get inside."
Chapter 1154
Chapter 1154
Angeline lay on the hospital bed, her delicate face looking old and tired because of her illness.
Grayson walked over to Angeline and said, "President, I've announced the news of you falling sick, and I've postponed the shareholder's meeting to five days later."
Angeline thought for a while and said weakly, "You did well. That way, it would mean a chance at surviving together both for us and our enemies."
Grayson's expression became solemn. "We only have five days' time, but now that you're very ill, I'm afraid that..."
Angeline weakly raised her hand and said, "Although my limbs are not working right now, my eyes and brain are just fine. I'm far from being hopeless. Find a way to tell President Ares the truth and force him to take his position."
Grayson said with seriousness, "I have one more piece of news. I don't know whether it's considered good or bad news."
"Just say it."
Grayson hesitated before saying, "Grand Asia's internal servers were locked by an unknown hacker."
Angeline raised her brows. "Oh? Is that so?"
Grayson replied, "The hacker either did this to prevent us from using the internal servers so that they could disturb our businesses or to protect our internal servers from being broken by enemy hackers." Angeline thought about it and said, "If it's not someone from our side, who would be so nice to protect our internal servers?"
Angeline stared at Grayson and understood that Grayson's inferences were based on evidence. He would not just say anything on a whim.
Grayson continued, "I also heard some other news saying that Bell Group's internal servers are all down. In fact, the hacker planted viruses in their URLs, so Bell Group hasn't been able to activate their internal servers for many days now."
Angeline had a look of concern on her face." Compared to Bell Group, the hacker went soft on us. It looks like the hacker who managed to get into Grand Asia might not be our enemy. Who could it be?" "The only person who could manage this in the entirety of Imperial Capital is Master Ares, could it be him?" Grayson deduced.
Angeline thought about it for a while before shaking her head. "He has a great misunderstanding toward m e, so why would he help me?"
She continued, "No matter what, just find him for now.
We'll discuss later." "Very well," Grayson said as he walked away.
Imperial Capital.
A large and lavish international city.
It was a city with history yet was growing and developing with technology.
Every bridge, every river, and every building had its own personal labels.
Jay stood atop Rainbow Sky Bridge, looking over a canal with misty eyes.
Every single thing in this world had its own identity.
Yet, he had lost his own identity.
How he wished that he could be a bridge-guarding over one place and never losing its way.
"Brother, would you like to buy a necklace? An auspicious necklace for your loved one. She'll like it for sure." Suddenly, a little girl holding a basket full of jewels walked in front of Jay, selling him her goods with much enthusiasm. Jay's gaze fell upon that auspicious necklace as his eyes narrowed. That necklace was somewhat familiar to him.
Chapter 1155
Chapter 1155
A voice suddenly rang in his head. "Jaybie, you have to hold my hand tightly. Don't lose me."
"I'll have to work hard and earn more money for my little wife."
Jay's head began to hurt again as he hugged his head and squatted on the floor.
The little girl gently put the auspicious necklace in his hand and said, "Brother, I'm giving you this necklace. I hope that it can bring you good luck."
"Thank you," Jay said in agony.
He pulled at his hair, his head hurting. It felt like it was about to explode.
The people around him weaved in and out, various noises continuously ringing in his ears.
"Screen protectors, screen protectors, phone screen protectors!"
"Miss, do you want a screen protector?
"President, you're good at applying screen protectors." A joyful voice was heard chirping.
Jay was utterly shocked. Why would such weird noises ring in his head?
What kind of president would put himself in such a lowly position to apply screen protectors?
The next conversation in his head made him crumble completely.
"Rose Loyle, follow me home."
"I have my conditions!"
"Speak."
"In the future, you're not allowed to bully me, you're not allowed to lie to me, and much less show me that ice-cold look on your face. In your eyes, I'm forever the most beautiful, and when you think of me, you'l smile If
"Alright!"
Jay suddenly realized that these were the memories inside his head. These things had happened before in his life.
Rose Loyle?
It was really Rose Loyle?
The woman who he brought home was Rose and not Angelina.
How could that be?
Jay swayed as he tried to stand up. The auspicious necklace fell onto the ground and Jay picked it up, a grateful smile appearing beneath his eyes.
He wanted to look for those memories that he lost and find himself.
The Pepperazzi was the biggest hub in Imperial
Capital for the spiciest and ground-shattering news. It housed the most in number and the most experienced paparazzi. They managed to gather messages from the higher echelons of society. Their information was also the most complete and accurate.
Jay went to The Pepperazzi with so many questions in his head.
When he stepped into the office, the jaws of everyone there almost touched the ground.
What happened next was the staff bickering among themselves.
"It's the founder of Grand Asia, Master Ares!" someone exclaimed.
"Why would he come to this place? He did not care about this place in the past."
"He lost his memory."
Jay knew immediately that he had come to the right place.
"I want to see your boss," Jay said casually.
"Master Ares, this way please," said the receptionist as she brought Jay to her boss' office.
Chapter 1156
Chapter 1156
When the boss saw Jay, his eyes were sparkling." What a rare guest. The crown prince of Imperial Capital is an extraordinary person, yet he has come to our humble company. I feel very honored." "Cut the crap." Jay pulled the chair in front of the boss and sat down on it with elegance.
"I've heard that The Pepperazzi specializes in taking pictures of the higher echelons' daily life. I came here today to propose a deal."
"Tell me, Master Ares." The boss nodded as he bowed.
"I want to know everything about my past. Tell me everything you know."
The boss felt troubled. "Master Ares, you should know that those in our industry would have a lot of expenses just to get one piece of information. If you know too much, then who should I collect the money from?"
Jay blurted, "Go ask Grand Asia."
He felt distressed the moment he said that. Since he wanted to keep a distance from Angeline, then why was he thinking about her all the time?
The boss was overjoyed. "Just ask away, Master Ares. I'll tell you everything I know."
"Marriage history," said Jay.
The boss paused and looked somewhat confused." Your marriage history is somewhat befuddling to everyone."
Jay focused on him. He was all ears as he listened to him quietly.
"You were exceptional when you were young. You were handsome and talented and had great authority in Imperial Capital. You were the man who many women dreamed of marrying. But you married an illegitimate child of the Boyle family, Rose Boyle. Rose grew up in a village. Word has it that her studies were awful, so after the Boyle family got her to Imperial Capital, she could not get into a good school. As such, her nickname was, 'The useless one'."
Jay frowned. If that was so, then he should not have had feelings for Rose.
"After that?" Jay suppressed himself.
"A year later, you divorced Rose. This was something that everyone had expected. It was not surprising at first, but what was even more strange is that a short while after your divorce, you got a mysterious gift. which was your son Jenson. This baffled everyone. You had been abstinent for so many years, yet you got a child with Rose Boyle, so it's not clear whether you really loved her or if it was a one-time thing." Jay muttered, "Jenson?"
The boss continued, "Five years later, Rose brought another pair of twins-a brother and sister. Word was you've hunted her for a long time and made Rose and her daughter suffer. Just when we thought that Rose would not live for more than a few days, you suddenly changed. You put her on a pedestal and protected her so much. Now that was very interesting indeed."
Even Jay felt that there was something going on behind all that.
The boss explained, "Of course, we theorized that the reason you suddenly looked at Rose in another light was because of the twins. They were exceptionally smart and cute."
Jay denied that fact in his heart. If he liked the children, then why would he not just have snatched those kids over to his side instead of making himself suffer by marrying 'The useless one'? The boss stopped there.
Jay looked at him and prompted him. "Then, do you know about the story between Swallow City's Angeline Severe and me?"
The boss smiled. "Miss Severe and you were a heavenly match. It's a shame that your love vanished ever so quickly in this cruel world."
Jay's eyes sank into abyssal darkness. He started to sway very lightly. "Then, what do you know about what happened to me three years ago?"
"Which one are you talking about?"
"Why did the Ares family fall so low? Also, why was I in a car accident?"
The boss said, "It's a long story, so I'll just slowly explain it to you... Every tragedy that happened to you was because you pampered Angeline... But Angeline had feelings for someone else. She loved a devil... His name is Cole Yorks..."
The look on Jay's face became cold all of a sudden.
Behind the scenes, Sera was hiding behind the boss' office. Her face was full of delight.
'Angeline, Jay loved you so much before. In the future, however, he will hate you even more than he loved you.
'Your glory days are over.'
Grand Asia Medical Center.
Angeline felt that each passing day was like a year
Chapter 1157
Chapter 1157
It was five days to the shareholder's meeting and two days had passed.
However, Grand Asia had yet to find a solution to their problem.
The members of Ghost had been searching everywhere for Jay, but it was as if he vanished into thin air. They could not find him anywhere.
He was a smart man. If he would not want anyone to find him, then who could?
Angeline sighed helplessly and flipped her covers open as she tried to move her legs. She gritted her teeth as she inched her legs to the side of the bed and let them hang.
She wanted to will herself against her illness and enable herself to stand up once again in the shortest time possible.
However, when she finally managed to get down from the bed, she realized her body was like jelly as she fell and sat on the ground.
"Angeline," Zayne cried out as he brought in a pot of water. When he saw Angeline on the floor, he threw the pot aside and walked over to Angeline, carrying her.
Angeline stopped him. "Don't carry me. Brother, close the door. Even if I have to crawl, I'll keep crawling until I stand."
Zayne's eyes teared up. "Why are you doing this to yourself?"
Angeline said, "Brother, if you care for me, then go out now."
Zayne turned around as tears flowed from his eyes.
Behind him was the sound of things being knocked over and Angeline's agonizing groans.
Angeline struggled to suppress and prevent herself from mentally breaking down.
Grayson pushed the door open and saw Angeline lying on the floor while Zayne stood aside, not doing anything.
Grayson was livid. "Zayne Severe, are you still human? Can't you help the president up?"
Zayne stepped forward and pulled Grayson toward him. Both of them had their backs facing Angeline. Zayne said, "Don't look."
Grayson realized what was going on and his face showed nothing but respect.
He shoved Zayne's hand away as he said, "Ms. Severe, we've found Master Ares' location."
Angeline sat on the floor crestfallen, but she smiled when she heard the news. "Help me up, quick."
Grayson and Zayne quickly helped her up.
Angeline pointed at them both and warned them, saying, "Don't say a word about what you just saw."
Zayne and Grayson nodded.
Angeline breathed a sigh of relief and got straight to the point. "Grayson, where is he?"
Grayson replied, "He's roaming around in Imperial Capital. He must be looking for his past. Our men saw him pass by Rainbow Sky Bridge, then he went to The Pepperazzi." Angeline had tears in her eyes. "Rainbow Sky Bridge?"
Both of them had too many good memories at that place. Could visiting that place help him regain his memories?
However, Angeline quickly snapped out of it as a worried look appeared on her face. "The Pepperazzi?"
"That's right." Grayson was anxious as well. "The Pepperazzi is a paparazzi company without any moral values. All of the news that they exposed was driven by benefits and rewards. President Ares hated tha company in the past. Now that he's gone over there to ask about his past, I'm afraid he'll know of something which would harm us."
Angeline's face looked sunken. "There's something that you don't know, Grayson. The Pepperazzi is owned by Bell Group. Bring me there, quick."
"Yes."
The Pepperazzi.
Chapter 1158
Chapter 1158
The boss was still talking all sorts of nonsense to insult and frame Angeline. "Master Ares, we just suddenly knew about Angeline getting together with Cole Yorks and betraying you. Tourmaline Estate, which belonged to the Areses, was indeed destroyed because of Cole. You and your assistant, Tempest, on the other hand, were also involved in a mishap because of Cole."
The boss paused and sighed. "We just can't understand one thing, which is how you and Angeline started to hate each other after being in love for such a long time? It's a shame indeed."
The look in Jay's eyes turned from dismay into hopelessness, and in the end, it became a furious rage.
"You're talking nonsense!"
The office door was suddenly kicked open.
Jay looked at Grayson who was mad with rage and roared at him. "What are you doing here?"
Grayson's face turned from rage into respect when he saw Jay. "Master Ares, don't listen to his nonsense. He simply wants to ruin your relationship with Ms.
Severe."
Jay retorted, "It has nothing to do with you."
Grayson sighed weakly before he turned his body to one side. At that moment, Zayne wheeled Angeline into the room.
Jay noticed that Angeline was in a wheelchair and surprise flashed across his eyes. However, he quickly suppressed his concern for her.
Angeline had always been a sly and devious woman.
He could not let her appearance fool him.
"Jaybie, come home with me. If you want to know the truth, I'll tell you everything." Angeline pleaded.
Jay had a devilish smile on his face. "Can I still trust you?"
Angeline fell into dismay as she said, "Jaybie, believe me. I guarantee that I won't lie to you this time."
Jay stepped toward Angeline, a mocking smile appearing on his handsome face. "Angeline, tell me, who are Baby Zetty's parents?"
Angeline replied, "She's our daughter."
Jay closed his eyes in despondence. Perhaps it was because she had always lied to him which made him feel so hopeless. He let out all of his pent up anger and said, "Angeline Severe, you've lied to me again. Baby Zetty is my and Rose's daughter!"
His aura was so terrifying that it even shocked Angeline.
After he roared at her, he motioned to leave the room.
At that moment, Angeline said to Grayson, "Bring him home. I'll slowly explain everything to him then."
The moment she said that, Jay kicked at Grayson and said, "Don't you think of touching me."
Grayson was not prepared for him, so he fell onto the floor and looked at him helplessly. "Master Ares, just listen to what Ms. Severe says, alright?"
Jay was very sure that his wife was Rose Boyle and that his children were theirs. As for his family who suddenly vanished, he felt heartbroken as well.
The evidence that he had gathered and those fragments of memories in his mind all pointed to Angeline being the destroyer of his home.
Now that Angeline was so anxious about bringing him home, it was clear that she wanted to keep him locked down.
His hatred and fury burst forth as he clutched Angeline's throat while roaring at her. "Angeline, do not wipe clean the love that I had for you. When that day comes, I will not let you go that easily." Angeline struggled to breathe as he choked her, her brain becoming hypoxic as her face turned pale shortly after. 1
She panicked and rushed to grab his hand, but she was weak and could not do anything.
She could see the resentment in his eyes. It was at that moment she realized that their relationship was already hitting rock bottom. She shut her eyes in hopelessness, not daring to look at that hateful look in his eyes.
Her tears seeped out from the corners of her eyes, wetting her eyelashes.
It was only when Jay saw her tears did he slowly come back to his senses.
Chapter 1159
Chapter 1159
He slowly let go of her throat. He spoke again, and his voice had a hint of bewilderment to it, "Angeline, there is only one truth and no one can hide it. Don't you try to stop me from trying to find the truth, and don't you try to interfere by making things up. I won't believe everything that easily."
Angeline opened her eyes, but her gaze looked misty and dispirited. After that violent shock he gave her, she lost her eyesight completely.
Her vision was dark and she could not see Jay's face.
She was so sad that she cried on the spot.
Why were the heavens so cruel to her, torturing her from the mind to the flesh?
She did not know that Jay had left her sight until she heard Zayne holler in agony, "Jay Ares, you're a b* stard! My sister's biggest misfortune in life is loving you!"
Jay suddenly felt a cold chill running down his spine. His heart suddenly hurt, but he did not feel remorse, so he dragged his lethargic self away from there.
After Jay left, Zayne wanted to send Angeline back to the hospital. However, Angeline suddenly pleaded. " Brother, I beg you. Bring me back home."
Zayne's face blanched when he saw Angeline's helpless and pitiful face. "Little Sister, what's wrong?"
Angelina curled up in the wheelchair. "Brother, I want to go home."
Zayne's eyes were streaked with red as he said," Alright Angeline, don't be afraid. I'll bring you back home right now."
Zayne then hurriedly brought Angeline away from there.
Grayson got up from the floor, glared hatefully at the boss, and suddenly roared. "Destroy his office."
The guards came from outside the room and ransacked the entire place.
The boss was still arrogant and said, "Don't you know the law? If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police."
Grayson tidied his clothes before striking the boss repeatedly and ferociously.
Soon enough, the boss pleaded for mercy. "Sir, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was paid by Sera Severe to ruin the relationship between Master Ares and Miss Severe. I was blinded by money. I was wrong." Grayson roared at him, yelling, "I'll give you one day's time to close shop and get the hell out of Imperial Capital. If you dare to appear in front of me again, I'll do more than dislocate your arm." "Yes, yes, yes." "Let's go," said Grayson as he led the members of Ghost away from there.
Angeline was disabled from top to bottom. Now, she was blind too. In a fit of rage and heartbreak, Zayne decided to bring Angeline back to their old house in Swallow City.
He wanted to cut off Angeline from Jay completely.
When Old Master Severe saw his granddaughter in her current state, he could not help but go down on his knees and sob.
"Angeline, why? You're such a strong child, so how did you fall this low?"
Lady Severe held her daughter in her arms, crying profusely.
After that, the gentle sparkle in Lady Severe's eyes turned into an intense gaze. She announced with uncompromising, motherly love, "Angeline will not oversee that hell of a company. She will be in a better place by just being my daughter. As long as she lives happily, everything will be alright."
Old Master Severe and Master Severe tried to raise Angeline as the person who would make them proud, but Lady Severe rejected the idea of Angeline walking down that tough and agonizing road. Zayne's eyes were red as he nodded.
"Don't you worry, Mom. As long as I'm around, I won't let my little sister starve. I'll take good care of her for the rest of my life."
Chapter 1160
Chapter 1160
After Old Master Severe recovered from his shock, he suddenly became irritated when he heard Lady Severe say those discouraging words. "I know that you all love Angeline and you're not willing to let her fal sick. But you have to understand that the life you want for Angeline might not be what she likes. Should a person live just to have food in their mouth?
"Angeline is not someone who gets beaten that easily, believe me. She will stand up again. Didn't I get back on my feet too?" said the old master.
Lady Severe protested against the old master for the first time. "Father, you're not Angeline, so you don't know her pain. Angeline is such an excellent girl. She has great values and such good looks. Being sick at such an age would be the cruelest thing that could happen to her. You got back on your feet because Angeline built up Severe Group and made you realize that there was hope. But now, where is hope for Angeline?"
Old Master Severe sank into silence.
Zayne's voice was choked. "Grand Asia is in deep trouble now. Master Ares would not understand Little Sister. With all that pressure that Little Sister has on her shoulders, it would be a surprise if she didn't fall sick."
Lady Severe had an adamant look on her face as she insisted. "Zayne, carry your sister to my room. From now on, no one from the business world should disturb her without my permission." Zayne nodded. "Yes, Mother."
Angeline's illness came crashing down on her all of a sudden, but her recovery would not be easy.
The shareholder's meeting was just around the corner and Grayson felt useless. Miss Severe was sick, and Master Ares was nowhere to be found.
Grayson could predict what would happen at the meeting three days later. That would be the day when Grand Asia came apart.
The monopoly that Jay and Angeline had built together would dissolve just like that.
Legendary Youth Academy.
"Mommy." Jenson awoke from his nightmare.
He sat up and realized that he was sweating bullets on his back and forehead.
He had a very bad dream. He dreamt that his mommy had jumped from the ninth floor of Grand Asia, and behind her stood his daddy with no expression on his face. That dream was too scary.
Jenson hurried and turned on his computer. To facilitate learning, Legendary Youth Academy only restricted students from sending messages to the outside world. Yet the students could understand and know about what was going on out there.
Angeline used to oversee everything, so there was always fresh news about her personal life. Jenson thought that getting no news about his mom would be the best news.
Now, the entire Imperial Capital was reporting and spreading the word about how his mommy fell ill as well as the delay of Grand Asia's shareholders' meeting. Jenson was nervous when he saw the news. Although he was young, he was the same as his daddy. He had a knack for being super sensitive to business. Delaying the shareholders' meeting was a last-resort move.
His mommy, on the other hand, was probably sick to the point that she could not step out of the house.
Jenson gazed at the night sky, hoping that dawn would soon come.
There were only three days left until Grand Asia's shareholders' meeting, and he would have to get his certificate before that.
When daytime came, he would go up the arena of his martial arts class and strike the drums upon graduating.
When the first light of day appeared on the horizon, the sound of drums could be heard throughout the campus.
The thick and rumbling sound of drums came from the arena of the martial arts class.
It woke everyone up from their slumber. They were all still confused as to what was going on.
"What's happening?"
"It's just the first light of day. Who's drumming?"
"Looks like it's coming from the training ground?"
