Chapter 1171

Sera and Sydney looked at each other with panic on their faces. However, they quickly recovered their calmness because they concluded that the boy knew nothing about the truth.

Jay fixed his gaze at the youngster. "Since you said that they're lying, then do you have any evidence?"

Sydney sneered and said, "Jay, he's just a child of unknown origin. How would he know anything about you and Rose?"

Jay looked at the suddenly silent young man, his sexy lips curling into a self-deprecating smile.

He wanted so badly to excuse Angeline from all the blame. Even if it was a vague remark, he tried to grab onto it and place all his hopes on it.

Just when Jay almost believed that the youngster was merely stirring up trouble, the boy continued, "It's true that Rose Loyle was an idiot. It's also true that you married Rose Loyle. However..." The young boy paused slightly.

Sera thought that the young man had no valuable information. She felt that he was merely around to cause a ruckus, so she unhappily exclaimed, "Kiddo, don't interrupt us if you can't say it out loud." Jay scoffed at Sera angrily. "You shut your mouth."

Sera was utterly shocked by his deterrence.

Jay dragged his weary body and walked toward the youngster. Then, he squatted and asked, "What do you know?"

The young man suddenly muttered, "Forget it. You wouldn't believe me even if I tell you."

Jay blurted out, "I'll believe you."

The boy was stunned for quite some time. He raised his gaze to look at Jay. "You want to believe that Angeline will never do anything to hurt you, right? Shouldn't you respect your own wishes?" Jay retorted, "I want evidence."

Sydney disrupted them, saying, "Kiddo, Angeline has destroyed three lives with her hands. How can you tell my brother-in-law to respect his intuition? One's intuition can also be wrong. Evidence is always the cold-hard truth."

The young man continued, "You weren't planning on marrying Rose back then. Who you really wanted to marry was your deceased lover, Angeline Severe. It was a posthumous marriage." Jay turned rock solid by the news.

Sera and Sydney immediately burst into laughter.

Sydney retorted, "That's really funny. Angeline is currently alive and well. When on earth did she die?"

Jay also felt that the boy's words were absurd, and a touch of disappointment appeared on his face.

The young man suddenly grabbed his hand and said," Trust me."

Jay looked at the youngster, and for some reason, this young man gave him a great sense of trust.

"If you want me to believe you, I'm going to need more evidence," Jay uttered.

These words seemed to be the key to opening the boy's conversation box. He muttered in a soft whisper, "12 years ago, Angeline and Rose died in a car accident."

The boy's words were limited, and his expression was obscure.

Jay turned his head to look at Mr. Loyle. Perhaps because he noticed that the women in this room were all great actresses and their words lacked credibility.

Mr. Loyle was so stunned that the teacup in his hand accidentally fell on the table.

Madam Loyle calmly responded, "The boy is only half right. Angeline and Rose were indeed involved in a car accident together. But a day later, my daughter Rose woke up." Jay asked, "Then, where was Angeline?"

Madam Loyle said in a panic, "God knows where she was? The Severes took her body away. How would we

know if she was alive or dead?"

The young man said with sorrow, "Angeline was dead."

A surprised expression appeared on Jay's handsome face.

Sera began to shout, "How on earth is that possible? If Angeline died, then her body would've rotted by now. There should be no more Angeline in this world, but she's obviously alive and well!" The youngster responded, "The currently living Angeline is not only Rose Loyle, but she's also Angeline Severe."

Chapter 1172

Chapter 1172

After a short pause, he added, "It's Rose's body, but Angeline's soul."

There was a slight confusion on Jay's handsome face." You mean... Angeline has transmigrated into Rose's body?"

The youngster nodded his head. "That's how the idiot Rose Loyle became an elite hacker."

Sera clapped her hands and mocked him. "Your theories are full of wonders, kiddo. I think you've been reading too many fantasy novels, which explains all these absurd ideas of yours. But you've missed a few points in your story because the car accident didn't kill Angeline, nor did it kill Rose. Both of them have appeared in front of us before."

The young man asked, "But have you ever seen both of them at the same time before?"

Sera could not answer his question.

The youngster continued, "In the first seven years after the accident, she was Rose Loyle. In the last five years, she's been Angeline Severe."

Jay was getting stirred up as he asked, "What else do you know?" "After Rose crashed and disfigured her face, she

commissioned a cosmetic surgeon to restore her face into Angeline's!"

The young man was able to connect the entire story clearly.

However, the completed plot was filled with fantasy, and it still felt somewhat unbelievable.

Sera and Sydney looked at Jay. They were firmly convinced that Jay, the atheist, would never believe such an absurd story.

Jay merely looked like he still needed time to digest the whole story.

The youngster suddenly walked over to the piano next to him. He lifted the piano cover and gently played Red Spider Lily for Jay.

He played Red Spider Lily in its saddest version. The tune made one think of someone who had gone through a devastating parting with their lover. It was utterly heartbreaking and mind-wrenching. Jay's state of mind was slowly getting soothed.

Sydney noticed something was amiss, so she walked toward the piano and slammed her hand on the keys. Then, she furiously exclaimed, "How dare you play my piano without my permission?" The youngster stood up and walked toward Jay gracefully. He gently supported him up as Jay looked slightly unwell.

"Are you feeling better?"

Jay looked at him in astonishment. "Where did you learn how to play Red Spider Lily? Who are you?" he asked tremblingly.

The boy reached up and took off his cap. A wave of black hair was exposed, and he proceeded to take off his sunglasses as well. Now, his charming and cold pupils were revealed.

"Huh?" Sera covered her mouth in horror when she noticed that the boy's features were exactly the same as Jenson's.

With tears flickering in Jay's eyes, he reached out his hand in a trembling manner to stroke the boy's face...

The youngster said, "I'm Jenson Ares."

Jay pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Jens."

"Daddy."

When Sydney and Sera saw Jenson, they hurriedly stepped forward to appease the situation. "So, it's you, Jens! You wretched child, you've surely fooled all of u s!"

Jenson lifted his gaze and looked at the two women coldly.

When he was still wearing his cap and sunglasses, Sera and the others merely treated him as an annoying kid. They even dared to raise their voices at him. Now that they finally saw his deep, icy black eyes, there was inexplicable awe in their hearts.

Sera and Sydney started trembling like a leaf.

Jenson was uninterested in dealing with these bunch of nobodies. Hence, he merely held onto Jay's hand tightly and said, "Let's go, Daddy."

"Okay," Jay answered.

The father and son got acquainted with one another once more.

Chapter 1173

Chapter 1173

When Jay and Jenson walked out of the villa, Sydney and Sera followed suit from behind, both harboring ulterior motives.

Sydney uttered, "Jay, there's no such thing as transmigration and rebirth in this world. That story is utterly ridiculous."

Sera added, "Jenson is young, so he'll naively believe those bizarre stories if Angeline brainwashed him with evil intentions. You cannot take Jenson's word for it." Jay gritted his teeth and scoffed. "I don't know if Jens is lying to me, but I do know that you people are lying. You've framed Angeline about hurting my sons, so get lost." Both Sera and Sydney were trembling with fear by the destructive temperament brought about by his rage.

Sydney shuddered. "Jens is indeed back, Jay. But, where's Baby Robbie?"

Jay paused slightly... For some unknown reason, he felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart when Baby Robbie was mentioned.

Sera immediately took advantage of the topic and exaggerated things. "Angeline and Cole are both

treacherous people, Jay. They brought disaster upon the Ares family and this is an indisputable fact.

Perhaps Baby Robbie's disappearance has something to do with Cole Yorks!"

Jay glared at her. "Save it. I'll never believe words that come out of a liar."

Sera looked somewhat embarrassed from this.

There was a minor bug in her lies due to Jenson's return, but Jay refused to let this little bug slide.

Jay had lost all of his trust in them.

When the cab arrived at the villa's entrance, Jay said to Jenson, "You can leave first, Jens. Daddy needs to resolve some of his doubts. I'll go back when I'm ready." Jenson asked, "Where are you going?"

Jay maliciously glared at Sera. "I don't want to hurt people who shouldn't get hurt, and I don't want to condone those who harbor evil intentions. Only by going to the funeral home to solve my doubts can I have the ability to judge what's right and wrong!"

Jenson was slightly startled as it seemed like his daddy believed his story. Otherwise, he would not be bothered to go this far to prove these absurdities.

Jens was very supportive of his decision. "Go ahead."

Jay sent Jenson off into the car and said, "Jens, let Angeline know that the truth will prevail itself."

Jenson proceeded to nod his head.

Sera was not at all interested in going to such a dire place. However, Steven had explicitly requested that she trail Jay around to prevent him from appearing at the shareholders' meeting. Hence, she braced herself and pleaded.

"I'll take you to the funeral home, Master Ares."

Jay looked at Sera with a sullen face. "Sera Severe, why on earth are you deliberately following me around?"

Sera swallowed her saliva. Jay's fierce and icy tone was making her feel squeamish. However, when she thought about the shift in power in Imperial Capital after the general shareholders' meeting, she decided to press her luck again.

Sera said, "You've truly misunderstood me. My mother is the one who's worried sick about you and requested that I take care of you more these days."

Jay needed a ride, and since Sera was actively providing assistance, he decided not to let it go to waste.

Sera told her driver, "Take Master Ares to the funeral home."

The funeral home was on the outskirts of the city.

Perhaps due to the continuous light rain, the roads were extraordinarily muddy and filled with pot-holes. The cars would shake tremendously now and then when driving on the road.

As the road's conditions worsened, the ride got bumpier and bumpier.

When Jay's body was shaking violently in such a confined space, it inexplicably made him feel like this terrible situation was familiar.

He tried hard to recall when this familiar scene happened before and many strange images started to appear in his mind. It was chaotic as if ten thousand horses were galloping and causing dust to fly about. Finally, the dust dissipated, and the images in his head became more apparent.

There was a sea of fire in his field of vision, and he was driving a special biochemical bulletproof vehicle in that said fire. There was also a young guard in a suit and sunglasses in the tank who seemed to be the guard left to him by the grand old master.

When the guard pulled his sunglasses down, his very handsome face was clearly revealed. He grinned at Jay and said, "Master Ares, Jens has specifically requested that I return to help you overcome this catastrophe."

"Dumb*ss, you're just throwing your life away now. There's no way to overcome this," Jay furiously rebuked.

Tempest chuckled happily. "It would be my life's honor to die with you, Master Ares."

Chapter 1174

Chapter 1174

The tank was continuously burning in the sea of fire, becoming extremely hot.

Jay and Tempest could no longer operate the steering wheel. Finally, the tank lost control and dashed out of the fire.

They tried their best to control it, but it was a naive attempt on their part.

It was because there was the sudden sound of a gunshot coming from behind. The bullets were hitting the car's exterior, making loud sounds. Fortunately, the windows of their tank were anti-ballistic, so most bullets were intercepted outside the windows.

At this moment, a man in a white suit holding a sniper rifle suddenly came out from behind. The bullet he fired was able to penetrate the tank...

Seeing that the bullet was about to hit Jay, Tempest suddenly rushed over and blocked the shot with his body.

The bullet had clearly hit him, but Tempest still smiled brightly. "Don't worry about me, Master Ares. I'm wearing a bulletproof vest."

Jay held onto Tempest who was losing consciousness and ordered him, "Don't die, Tempest. You have to stay

alive."

Jay had been injured as well due to the tremendous amount of bumps and was lying flat in the tank. When he was on the verge of death, he suddenly felt a panic in his heart. "I'm starting to have regrets now, Tempest."

"I only realized now when I'm already on the verge of death why her soul had returned to me back then. It was because she couldn't stop worrying about me.

"Just like how I am now as I can't stop worrying about her.

"Tempest, if I were able to choose again, I would never give up on her."

Tempest exhausted all his strength to protect Jay under his body. "I won't let you die, Master Ares."

Amidst all the bumping inside the car, Tempest's head and body were violently rammed onto the tank's wall time and time again.

Jay held onto Tempest's hand tightly, and amidst all the confusion, he called out, "Angeline... Angeline... I'm sorry... I was wrong..." Memories came flooding back, and it was becoming unstoppable.

Jay's head was in great disarray.

However, those clear images, the warmness, the

cruelness, the pain and the sweetness... They all came flooding back.

"Angeline, marry me when you grow up, okay?"

"Okay."

"I want to marry Angeline."

"Have you gone mad? She's dead."

"Then I'll hold an unprecedented posthumous wedding."

"It was weird for us too. My daughter, Rose, has always been rather dim-witted. But she seemed to have changed since the car accident."

"Angeline, why don't you listen to me? I've told you before not to get cosmetic surgery and not to leave me. Why don't you ever listen?"

"I just want to be the person that you like the most, Jaybie. You've gotten married twice, and you've written Angeline Severe's name on the marriage certificate for both times." Jay's pupils suddenly froze...

He finally remembered the past. The love and the sadistic romance he shared with Angeline... He remembered everything.

Chapter 1175

Chapter 1175

It turned out that his wife was Angeline Severe, and she was a transmigrator.

After coming to this conclusion, he made a puffing sound and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Master Ares?"

Sera looked at Jay who had suddenly passed out.

Then, a wicked smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"God is truly on my side. When you wake up after the shareholders' meeting tomorrow, everything would have been concluded."

Sera sent Jay to a private hospital under the Bell family's name and asked the doctor to inject him with tranquilizers. It was to ensure that he would not wake up within 24 hours.

It was slowly becoming nighttime!

The sun was gradually rising!

Grand Asia's annual shareholders' meeting was about to begin soon.

Swallow City in the Sycamore Annex.

Angeline was curled up on the bed. She looked at the brightening sky outside the window with her pair of

ethereally beautiful but somewhat blurred black pupils.

Suddenly, Angeline shouted weakly, "Zayne!"

Her voice was clearly still very faint, yet it was still able to reach Zayne's ears. Zayne was practically dashing toward his sister's room.

"Did you call for me, Angeline?" Zayne was ecstatic.

It turned out that she could still hear and speak. Furthermore, she could still see some light, so this was much better than he had imagined.

Angeline explained to him in a weak breath. "Bring me to Grand Asia."

Zayne was dumbfounded.

After a long pause, Zayne replied somewhat helplessly and resentfully, "Even after hurting you thousands of times, you're still treating him like he's your first love." Zayne loved his sister to death. He knew that if he sent Angeline to Grand Asia, the place surrounded by hungry wolves, it would be a devastating blow to Angelina's body.

However, when he looked at Angelina's hopeful eyes, Zayne could not help but fulfill her wishes.

"Fine," Zayne responded weakly.

Lady Severe felt sorrowful to hear that Angeline insisted on attending Grand Asia's shareholders' meeting.

Due to her maternal love and compassion, she still chose to respect Angeline and fulfill her daughter's meager wish.

Angeline was nearly blind, so the task of dressing her up fell on Lady Severe.

In Lady Severe's heart, Angeline would always be her charming and beautiful little princess.

She put on a white lacy dress on Angeline and used a diamond hair accessory to tie the top half of her hair into a bun. The remaining half of her long hair was left to naturally flow down to her waist.

Then, she put on a bit of light makeup on Angeline. Since her skin was as fair as snow, she looked even more bright and beautiful in her white attire.

When Zayne got into the car with his sister on his back, Lady Severe reminded him, "Remember, Zayne, n o matter what happens, protecting your sister's safety is the top priority."

Zayne solemnly promised her. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll bring Angel back safe and sound."

Then, Zayne's small vehicle slowly departed Swallow City and headed toward Imperial Capital.

The brilliance of the rising sun slowly covered the earth.

When the clock struck eight in Imperial Capital, the massive gates of Grand Asia Empire's building were slowly extended to two sides.

The shareholders of Grand Asia, including all the large and small who acquired the company three years ago, walked into the building's vast conference hall that faced the rising sun.

Chapter 1176

Chapter 1176

The shareholders of Grand Asia's Bell Enterprise attending the meeting today included the previous chairmen, Steven and Stanley Bell, and the next heirs, Sean Bell, Nancy Bell, and Sera Severe. As for the Titus Enterprise, the shareholders attending the meeting included the former chairman, Yosemite Titus, the current director, Hiroshi Titus, and the shareholder representative, Yumi Titus. The representative of the person-in-charge of Grand Asia's Ares Enterprise was Jean Ares. The major shareholders, Grand Old Master Ares, as well as Jack and his brothers, were also present. There were numerous representative shareholders of unknown companies as well.

It could be said that the number of participants this year was the largest in history.

When all of the shareholders were seated, someone deliberately tried to disrupt the atmosphere. "It's been five minutes. Why is President Severe not here? Could it be that the president hasn't recovered from her illness?"

Grayson stood on the podium with a solemn expression while the Ghost members were dressed in

suits and weapons as they stood in line on both sides of the stage.

Although Grand Asia had prepared this shareholder meeting with excellence in all the previous years, Grayson was still clueless whether President Severe would be attending this meeting.

In order to delay time, Grayson still presided over the shareholders' general meeting with a calm look as usual.

During his speech, he altered his tone into a traditionally concise and comprehensive style. He summarized the development history of Grand Asia, praised the performance indicators of various departments of Grand Asia, and gave a prospect for the future of Grand Asia...

He had described every element up to a tee.

When the speech was nearly halfway done, someone stood up and made sincere suggestions. "Mr. Grayson, your speech is very well written, and the presentation is also outstanding, but why do I feel like it's a tad too long? You've spoken for more than an hour now. How much time is left for President Severe?"

Grayson maintained a polite and elegant smile, but he knew that procrastination was no longer an option.

Then, an endless stream of questions was thrown at him.

Nancy directly questioned Grayson. "Mr. Grayson, there's been a piece of internal information being spread that President Severe has severe mental illness. It's said that her whole body is currently paralyzed and her senses are lost. Did her sickness get better? Will she be attending the shareholders' meeting today?"

Grayson retorted furiously, "Aren't you too impatient, Miss Bell? How do you know that President Severe won't come to today's shareholders' meeting?"

Nancy replied, "Everyone knows that Grand Asia cannot be without a president even for a single day. If the president is unwell and is unable to perform her duties as the president, she should take the initiative to step down."

All in all, President Severe's recent illnesses were exactly as described. Every word Grayson said today had to stay reliable and accurate.

"Which one of you were cursing our dear president about losing her senses?"

Suddenly, Zayne's voice rang across the hall.

Everyone followed the sound of the voice and turned around.

That was when they saw Zayne pushing Angeline through the door into the meeting hall.

Zayne took the liberty to push Angeline to the podium. All of the shareholders who were used to seeing the overweening President Severe were shocked to see Angeline without her heavy makeup. She was even wearing youthful attire. They abruptly realized that she was incomparably stunning and looked like an immortal fairy.

They could not associate this beautiful girl with a paralyzed body and dysfunctional senses.

Nancy felt like someone had heavily slapped her as she sat back down with a crimson red face.

Grayson was ecstatic as he walked to Angeline. Then, he respectfully said, "It's time for you to speak, President Severe."

Angeline took the microphone and stayed calm as usual. "Anything can be developed even during rugged times, and I believe that it's the same for us in Grand Asia. If we don't go through all of the thick and thin, how will we learn and grow?"

After a short pause, she continued, "To all of the shareholders here, if you still have confidence in Grand Asia, please stay with us as we go forward. However, if you're unwilling to go through this ordeal with us we, Grand Asia, will be more than willing to return your shares."

As soon as Angeline uttered these words, Grayson was utterly stunned.

President Severe's decision was nothing more than wanting to kick out all dissent shareholders in Grand Asia. If this was done, Grand Asia would inevitably suffer a heavy blow.

Chapter 1177

Chapter 1177

There was a cold sneer from the audience. "Hmph, with its intranet hacked and Ms. Severe ill, Grand Asia is now pressed hard from every side. Ms. Severe, are you just going to return us our shares? Shouldn't you hand over the companies you acquired three years ago as well?"

Although Angeline could not see, she could tell from the voice that it was Stanley.

Bell Enterprise was colluding with Titus Enterprise to lead several rebellious companies in an attempt to force Angeline to step down at this shareholders' meeting.

It was not easy for Angeline to acquire the companies from the same industry and eventually realize its status as a monopoly giant. Grand Asia might be in trouble now, but she intended to use money to remove these dissident shareholders. She had no intention to see Grand Asia disintegrate at all.

Angeline said angrily, "Grand Asia paid a lot of money when we acquired the companies three years ago. These companies belong to Grand Asia now. You're just a mere Grand Asia shareholder, Stanley Bell. Stop daydreaming about things that are no longer yours."

Stanley's hearty laughter was heard. "Haha, the companies that Grand Asia acquired were the hard work of all our ancestors present here, Ms. Severe. If Grand Asia can prosper with each passing day because you commanded it well, then we wouldn't make demands to have our enterprises returned to us either. Grand Asia has long lost its former glory. Its talents have atrophied."

Angeline was furious. "Talents atrophied? Stanley Bell, watch what you say. Belittling Grand Asia's employees is equal to looking down upon our talents and abilities."

Stanley said with a smile, "Did I say anything wrong? It has been so many days since Grand Asia's intranet was hacked, so why hasn't Grand Asia solved this problem yet? No one in Grand Asia can obtain the hacker IP. The talents you nurture are nothing but a bunch of useless junks."

Angeline clenched her fists with anger.

She attached great importance to talents and was eager for talents. She would not hesitate to spend a lot of money just to seek the best technical personnel from around the world. She thought highly of the talents in Grand Asia, yet Stanley insulted her hard work just like that. How could she not be angry?

Angeline was so furious that her hands started shaking uncontrollably.

Seeing how vulnerable Angeline was, Stanley cast his malicious gaze at Steven. When their gazes met, they arrived at an understanding and were even firmer at executing their plan to force Angeline to step down.

"If you think that I've said something wrong, Ms. Severe, then why don't you show us how capable Grand Asia's hackers are. If they can unlock Grand Asia's intranet today, then I, Stanley Bell, will take back everything I just said."

Angeline closed her eyes and regulated her breathing.

The more she tried to get her disordered body back to normal, the more she felt like she was losing control of her body.

"Open up our intranet, Grayson." In her perturbed mind, Angeline gave the wrong instructions.

Grayson was stunned. If someone at Grand Asia could actually unlock the intranet, then they would not have behaved so passively from the start.

However, now that Ms. Severe had issued the order, Grayson could only bite the bullet and play along.

Grayson was the second most powerful hacker in Grand Asia after Angeline. Unfortunately, Angeline was now ill. As she could only differentiate between brightness and darkness with no ability to distinguish the outline of objects at all, she was as good as blind. Naturally, Grayson dared not place any hope on Angeline.

Grayson went on his own, but after opening up Grand Asia's intranet, it was clear that he seemed a little powerless. He pretended to decode the intranet but made no substantial progress for a long time. At this time, Yumi stood up and said, "Mr. Grayson, our time is precious. You've spent half an hour making no progress at all. Can you do it or not? Stop wasting our time if you can't."

At this moment, many participants looked displeased. The esteemed and respected Steven suddenly stood up and said, "It stands to reason that we shouldn't be taking advantage of Grand Asia in times of misfortune. But when Ms. Severe acquired our companies back then, she did not take into account how important these companies are to all the major families out there. Now that Ms. Severe is ill and all kinds of problems are coming to surface in Grand Asia, then I, Steven Bell, have no choice but to step out and say something. Our companies are the hard work of our ancestors. I'm willing to return the acquisition funds to take my company back."

Chapter 1178

Chapter 1178

Angeline snapped. "I disagree."

Steven said, "You've signed the contract, Ms. Severe. There's no turning back."

Steven said to Sera, "Sera, take the documents over. Make sure Ms. Severe opens her eyes and takes a good look at them. She was the one who stamped the documents. I don't think Ms. Severe is a person who goes back on her words."

Sera said with a smile, "Sure."

She then walked to the podium with a stack of documents. "Please have a look, Ms. Severe."

Unwilling to fall behind, Hiroshi Titus from Titus Enterprise walked to the podium with a stack of documents as well. "The Titus family too. Ms. Severe, you were the one who stamped the documents. You can't go back on your words."

Seeing that Grand Asia had returned Bell Enterprise and Titus Enterprise, other shareholders were eager to have a piece of the action too. They stood up and forced Angeline to step down. "Since Ms. Severe has returned Titus and Bell Enterprises, then we here at Yash Enterprise would like to take our company back as well..."

Realizing how chaotic things were becoming, Angeline was so anxious that her breathing became impeded. When she opened her mouth to speak again, her voice sounded much lower and weaker. "Zayne, grab my stamp. Titus and Bell Enterprises' stamps are fake..." Before she could finish her sentence, she slumped into her chair.

Zayne squatted down. "I'll take you away, Angeline."

Angeline shook her head stubbornly. "No, listen to me. Go and grab my stamp."

Zayne turned back to look at Angeline repeatedly at every step before bolting out the door to grab the stamp.

Sera was standing on the podium. When she saw how powerless Angeline looked, she smirked triumphantly.

In order to embarrass Angeline, Sera deliberately reached out and shook her hand in front of her, muttering, "Do you feel weak and limp, Ms. Severe? Your eyes can't see and your ears can't hear, huh?" Angeline did not respond.

Sera fearlessly grabbed the microphone and said to the shareholders at the meeting, "I would like to share something really unfortunate to everyone here today. The Severe family has a genetic disorder. It has now passed down from my grandfather to Angeline. This is a severe case of mental illness. If the patient's condition is serious, the patient will become

paralyzed and will be unable to take care of or provide for herself. Even her five senses will go haywire. Look, when I tested Ms. Severe earlier, she did not respond at all. It looks like her condition has reached a point where she is incapable of doing anything anymore."

After Sera caused a stir, the chaos on the scene intensified.

Many people raised their fists to protest. "Since there's no longer a leader in Grand Asia, we demand that our companies be returned to us!"

Sera squatted in front of Angeline, the corners of her mouth tucked into a malicious sneer. "Oh, Angeline, your good days are finally over."

At this very moment, however, there was a miracle.

A young but sonorous voice echoed in the vast conference room.

Chapter 1179

Chapter 1179

"Shameless."

The words were deep and resonant after it was processed by the microphone, making the owner of the voice unrecognizable.

The tumultuous room sank into a strange silence.

"Who is that?"

"Who is speaking?"

At this moment, something strange happened. The huge screen projected by the computer on the podium was suddenly scrolling on its own.

Grand Asia's intranet was suddenly unlocked. Both the layout and department structure had undergone massive changes. The new web page looked much more influential and powerful now.

Angeline noticed the abnormality and whispered to Grayson, "What's going on, Grayson?"

Grayson walked up to Angeline and whispered back,1 Someone is helping us in secret by unlocking Grand Asia's intranet."

A touch of surprise emerged on Angeline's beautiful face.

Angeline then gave Grayson several instructions. He

grabbed the microphone and walked to the center of the podium, and with great momentum, he launched a counterattack by saying, "Like a mirror that reveals monsters, Grand Asia's intranet hacking incident has revealed the hideous and outrageous human nature of all our shareholders here. Hmph, there are those who took advantage of our misfortune, those who are just sitting around while waiting to see what will happen, and worst of all, those who are getting all these fancy ideas about trying to force Angeline to step down and rise up against Grand Asia."

Steven knew that Grayson was making insinuations about him, but he was determined to reach his goals in spite of setbacks and was determined to force Angeline to step down.

Steven said, "I'm not taking advantage of Grand Asia's misfortune to rise up against you, Mr. Grayson. We have negotiated with Ms. Severe and reached an agreement. She's willing to return Bell Enterprise to u s. We've brought the contract too. Feel free to check it yourself, Mr. Grayson."

Grayson walked up to Sera, drew out a document from her arms, and flipped through it casually before sneering. "How absurd. This stamp is obviously a fake. You sure have the audacity to lie through your teeth and claim that Ms. Severe was the one who signed the contract with you!"

With a firm belief that the stamp was authentic, Steven laughed. "Now, now, Mr. Grayson. Don't jump to conclusions so quickly and say that the stamp is fake."

Grayson sneered. "Let's wait and see then!"

In no time at all, Zayne returned with the stamp.

Grayson placed Grand Asia's stamp and Bell Enterprise's contract side by side, projecting the two on the screen. Then, it was zoomed in.

Finally, they discovered a flaw in the document stamp.

Grayson pointed at the flaw and said, "Do you see that, Steven? The stamp on your contract only has four petals whereas the actual stamp has five."

Facts spoke louder than words.

Feeling very much beaten down, Steven glared indignantly at Sera who was standing on the podium.

At this moment, Sera knew that she had been fooled by Jay and felt beyond embarrassed.

Now that his plan to force Angeline to step down had failed, Steven did not want to stay a minute longer and stood up abruptly. He was ready to walk away with other Bell Enterprises' shareholders. When Titus Enterprise noticed that something was amiss, they were ready to slip away as well.

However, when they walked to the door of the meeting room, a tall and mesmerizing figure stood in their way.

"Trying to escape? Do you think it's going to be that easy?"

Jenson's expression was icy while his body was just like a high-power refrigerant. All of a sudden, a gust of cold wind blew straight at them.

Steven and the rest found themselves shuddering uncontrollably, but they soon regained their composure.

Jenson was just a kid. What was there to be afraid of?

Jenson glanced at his weak and powerless mommy on the stage. At the thought of how his mommy was dragging her ill and weary body just to hold fast to her position, he felt as though a blade had sliced through his heart.

At the same time, he found it particularly hard to forgive these dissident shareholders. Jenson said," You have violated the law and been found guilty of forgery. Guys, send them to the police station."

Chapter 1180

The Ghost members subdued all Bell and Titus Enterprises' shareholders at lightning speed.

Steven let out a loud and hearty laugh all of a sudden." Jenson, do you think you can solve Grand Asia's fund shortage issue after arresting us?"

Afraid that Jenson might not understand what he was saying, he deliberately emphasized. "Would you like to see how much money is left in Grand Asia's account, Jenson? If you let us go, then I can provide Grand Asia with the funds to get through this crisis."

Steven was a wise man who submitted to circumstances. At this moment, he was trying to use money to save himself.

A contemptuous smile emanated from Jenson's ice-cold being. "You're not qualified enough to do business with me."

He then strode to the podium.

He sat in front of the computer and with his slender, beautiful fingers. He then pulled up Grand Asia Bell Enterprise's webpage.

Seeing that he was keying in Bell Enterprise's URL, a malicious sneer emerged on Steven's face. He knew that Bell Enterprise's webpage was infected with a

super virus and anyone who entered their webpage would have their computers black out immediately.

Unfortunately, Steven was bound to be disappointed.

Jenson had not only entered Bell Enterprise's intranet successfully, but he had also infected all family departments with a super virus in front of everyone's eyes. In the blink of an eye, each of those family departments' funds had flowed into Grand Asia's general account automatically.

Steven was so startled that he broke out into a cold sweat. It was only at this moment that he realized that this kiddo was actually the top-notch hacker controlling all enterprises behind the scenes. It was a miscalculation on his part.

By doing so, Jenson had put an end to the era of independence of those family departments' in Grand Asia.

Having done that, Jenson stood up and announced," From today onward, Grand Asia will no longer have family departments. There will be no separate accounts for each department, and all fund flow will need to be applied from the finance department."

Stanley protested strongly. "What do you mean by that, Jenson? Are you trying to get rid of all the family enterprises from Grand Asia completely?"

Jenson rolled his eyes at him and uttered coldly," When Grand Asia acquired each and every one of you three years ago, all of you should have been gone from

the start."

Stanley snapped. "Who gave you the right to do so?"

Jenson might be young, but his aura was extremely powerful. "This is a world dominated by the strong."

With that said, Jenson employed his superior hacking skills and wiped out all department web pages on the spot.

With Jenson's superb hacking skills unveiling before their eyes in mere minutes, it dawned upon the shareholders that Grand Asia was now rising stronger than ever.

Jean suddenly stood up and clapped his hands." You're amazing, Jens. The Ares family will always support you."

There was endless applause from the audience.

This served as an affirmation for Jenson.

Jenson's series of moves and actions had left Grayson completely stupefied. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"So you're the hacker who helped us in secret, Jens?"

Jenson rolled his eyes at him and said bitterly, "Why have you grown older yet not wiser after all these years?" Grayson,"..."

Steven had finally realized the reality of the situation. Bell Enterprise was over.

He was so flustered and exasperated that he spat out a mouthful of crimson blood before collapsing to the ground.

The Ghost members turned soft-hearted and asked Grayson, "Brother, um..."

Grayson looked perplexed.

Jenson's merciless voice then fell into their ears." Send him to the police. They will handle him."

As the audience marveled at Jenson's ruthlessness despite his young age, they saw Jenson walking to Angelina's side. He squatted down and rested his head on Angelina's knee. He then acted like a little child as he murmured, "I'm back, Mommy."
