Ch. 1771..1780

Chapter 1771

"That's not necessarily the case. From what I know about your mother, she'll either drive you crazy or kill Angeline one of these days. She won't rest easy until she breaks the two of you up," said Cole. Jay's straight back was slightly stiffening up. Thinking of his mother's constant attacks that had caused Angeline's illness, his heart became inexplicably flustered.

Since Jay was not talking, Cole gloated and asked, "What? Are you afraid now?"

"What an alarmist talk," Jay scoffed coldly.

With his head resting on his arms, Cole leaned leisurely on the back of the chair. He narrowed his eyes at Jay and said in a relaxed manner, "I'm not an alarmist. If you knew how your mother drove my mother into despair one step at a time, I think you wouldn't be underestimating your mother's ability."

Jay's heart tightened up. He looked at Cole suspiciously. "What does my mother have anything to do with your dad getting mistresses left and right?"

Cole teased, asking, "Do you really want to know?"

"Spit it out."

Cole cleared his throat and said, "She used Love

Potion on my dad, making my dad mistake other women for my mother. Once my mother saw my dad under such circumstances, she moved into the parish hall and became an anchorite. She started ignoring my dad from then on. This incident was considered a scandal, after all. But since my grandfather dotes on his daughter, he forbade my dad from speaking up about it. That's why the misunderstanding between my dad and my mom wasn't resolved after a long time. Even after it was out in the open, my dad had already married Aunt Sandra then and the blunder grew bigger. Before this, my mom didn't resist as fiercely as she is now. It was only when she met Angeline that she found the courage to resist. It was because she saw the way Angeline stood up to your mother."

Jay only felt that his heart was spiraling into a panic.

He was thinking about the time he had mistaken Judy as Angeline the day before yesterday, causing Angeline to misunderstand and cry terribly. He had a sudden premonition as if it was the end of the world. "What are the symptoms of taking Love Potion?" Jay asked.

Cole said, "I've never taken it. How should I know?"

"Is there an antidote?" Jay asked again.

"If one takes a small dose of Love Potion, it'll cause mental illusions at most. However, this potion has a fatal key. That is, it cannot be removed after entering the body. It's like they say, a concentration of one thing is never good. More and more, it'll remain inside your body for life. However, your mother probably didn't know the fatal side effects of Love Potion. It's what my dad said to me some time ago." Cole's expression turned resentful.

Jay looked at Cole in bewilderment. "Does your dad still mistake Aunt Sandra for your mother?"

Cole nodded. "My dad said that every time he has sex with Sandra, he would think that the person was my mother. He was embarrassed to share this with his son in the past. It was mentioned by accident to me some time ago. After going around getting in touch with others, I'm beginning to think that Love Potion has done something wacky to him."

Jay's face grew paler.

Cole looked at the restless Jay and smiled. "What's the matter with you? Don't tell me you've taken Love Potion as well?"

Jay glared at him. "What are you smiling at?"

Cole said, "I'm just happy."

"Why on earth are you happy?"

"Think about it. If you've consumed Love Potion, you'll probably make the same mistake as my dad. When the time comes, Angeline will decisively leave you as my mother did. Then I'll have the opportunity to pursue Angeline again," Cole said openly.

Jay gritted his teeth in anger. "Is that why you're refusing to be with Sis Shirley?"

Cole nodded after a long time. "Yes. In my subconscious mind, I believe that your mother will find ways to tear you guys apart. So I still have a chance to snatch Angeline away."

Jay said indignantly, "Do you believe that I'll kill you right this second?"

Cole smiled and said, "Why? Do you wish for Angeline to end up like my mother then, living a miserable life relying on someone else's charity after leaving you?"

Jay did not dare to even think about it. An affluent daughter like Angeline lodging under someone else's roof, she would not be happy ever again.

"I won't let her leave me. I'll take care of her forever." H e untied his tie irritably.

Cole looked at such an abnormal Jay. "Did you really take Love Potion?" 1

"No."

Cole stopped talking, but a wicked smile appeared on that handsome face. Several cars from Swallow City were parked at the gates of Tourmaline Estate.

Shirley hugged Dawn and walked out of the car with Mrs. Yorks.

Meanwhile, Zayne helped Josie get out of the second car.

Chapter 1772

Chapter 1772

Grand Old Master Severe, George, and Madam Severe got out of the third car.

Angeline ecstatically greeted them with her pet rabbit in her hand.

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom.

"Sis Shirley, Aunt Crystal.

"Zayne, Josie.

Zayne looked at the pet rabbit in Angelina's arms, and his expression turned into one of intrigue.

He never understood those people who kept pets around. He believed that it was a strange hobby for lonely people in search of solace.

However, now that his baby sister was keeping a pet rabbit, Zayne somewhat panicked.

"Angeline, where's Master Ares? Why isn't he here to greet us?" He had a faint feeling that his sister was keeping a pet rabbit because her relationship with Jay was having issues. Angeline replied, "He went to pick up Cousin Cole."

As soon as Cole got out of the car, he heard Angeline calling him her cousin, and his expression turned baffled.

Jay was showing a pleased smile.

It seemed that his wife was indeed someone who could be taught.

The unexpected encounter between the two parties was seemingly pleasant yet embarrassing.

Cole stared blankly at the child in Shirley's arms.

Dawn was already six months old, and he looked lively and adorable. He waved around his chubby pair of arms while letting out a squeaky voice. It was utterly cute.

It was as if Cole's feet were poured over with molten lead. He stood there motionlessly.

Carson said, "Little Young Master is so cute."

Jay took the initiative to greet the Severes' elders and walked quickly toward Angeline. Then, he naturally held Angeline's hand.

Cole finally moved his eyes away from Dawn and then shifted them to Angeline.

Angeline was akin to an orchid in her white dress. She was smiling like a flower while holding onto Jay's hand.

She was like an elf left behind in this mundane world.

She had lost a lot of weight, but she was even more beautiful than ever.

Cole had heard of the dreadful news about Angeline's severe weight loss. He once secretly thought that if Jay were to despise her over it, he would take Angeline away. However, Jay did not give him such an opportunity.

He even cured Angeline's depression.

Now, seeing them standing together so in love, Cole felt that his previous thoughts were naive.

Jay would never take the initiative to leave Angeline.

Zayne looked at the rabbit in Angelina's arms. After quite some time, he finally asked, "Angel, what are you doing with the rabbit?"

Angeline smiled and said, "I want to officially introduce her to you guys. This is my daughter I recently adopted. Her name is Jac, short for Jacaranda."

Zayne showed a gagging gesture.

"Tell me honestly now, is Master Ares neglecting you? Is that why you got a pet rabbit?" Zayne inquired.

Angeline shook her head. "No, that's not it."

Jay was lost in thought.

Perhaps it was because he had stayed in the hospital some time ago and went to Fragrant Vessel Court too frequently, which was why Angeline got lonely and had the idea of keeping a pet.

Chapter 1773

Chapter 1773

They took the guests to Chateau de Selene.

Once Grand Old Master Ares learned that his old comrade, Grand Old Master Severe, had come to visit, h e immediately ordered his servants to Fragrant Vessel Court to invite Grand Old Master Yorks over. The three older men then sat in Chateau de Selene's backyard and happily reminisced about the olden days.

Of course, when Grand Old Master Severe and Grand Old Master Yorks saw each other again, they were bound to have a little spat.

"Chief Yorks, my granddaughter is willing to let go of past enmity and has decided to stay in Tourmaline Estate. You'll have to protect her from now on. Don't let that daughter of yours bully her again. If I find out Chloe is still making things difficult for my baby granddaughter again, I'll never let you get away with it," said Grand Old Master Severe.

Grand Old Master Yorks was now well aware of how precious Angeline's life was, and he knew it was not something he should be taking lightly. Under the Severe family, the Ares family, and Jay's protection, if he dared to touch a hair on Angeline's body, he would surely end up utterly isolated from all his relatives.

Grand Old Master Yorks said, "Don't worry. With my

Jay around, Angelina's mother-in-law can't even get close to her."

Grand Old Master Severe breathed a sigh of relief.

Grand Old Master Ares said, "My dear Scott, don't worry anymore. You still have me around. I'll never let anyone else harm Angeline. She's done so many things for the Ares family. I'll be protecting her as long as I'm still breathing."

At this point, Grand Old Master Ares took Grand Old Master Yorks' hand again and said, "Chief Yorks, just listen to me. Angeline is a good woman. As long as you treat her well, she'll never be hostile toward you. Look at today's little reunion between families. Angeline was the one who made it all possible."

Grand Old Master Yorks was startled. He had thought the reunion he dreamt of was nearly impossible for him to achieve in this life. He never expected that Angeline had let go of past grudges and helped him realize his wish.

Grand Old Master Yorks was moved to tears." Angeline is such an open-minded child. I truly do admire her."

Grand Old Master Severe snorted. "My dear Angeline is our princess, and our lives revolve around hers.

She's been charming ever since she was a child. But after marrying Jay, she's been ground to ashes by your family's mess."

He continued, "She's not open-minded. She merely

wants to give Jay a perfect home because she likes him."

Grand Old Master Ares nodded. "Angeline's way of love is by fulfilling Jay while suffering grievances by herself. Perhaps this is the reason why Jay pampers her."

Grand Old Master Yorks said, "I'll have to truly thank Angeline for all of this."

When Spencer learned that Mrs. Yorks had come to visit Tourmaline Estate, he hurried over to Chateau de Selene. He used the excuse of wanting to visit his grandson, but he actually wanted to see Mrs. Yorks instead.

However, Mrs. Yorks did not give him such a chance and sneaked into the courtyard to hide.

Spencer went after her in a thick-skinned manner." Crys."

When they reached the Atrium Garden, Spencer blocked Mrs. Yorks into a corner and snarled. "Why are you hiding from me? It's not like I'll attack you or anything. I just want to talk to you." "There's nothing else to talk about between the two of us!" Mrs. Yorks exclaimed indifferently.

"Do you hate me that much?" Spencer was getting desperate.

Mrs. Yorks said, "I don't hate you. I merely don't want

anything to do with the Yorks for the rest of my life."

"Are you determined to leave me?" Spencer felt nothing but sorrow.

Mrs. Yorks calmly replied, "Yes."

Spencer said, "Alright, I understand. But before you leave, there are some things I want to tell you. If you still have the heart to leave after listening to me, I'll fulfill your wishes."

Mrs. Yorks stared at him blankly, "What is it? Do tell."

Spencer looked around and replied, "There are too many people around. It's inappropriate to talk about this private matter here. After all, news spread quickly, and this matter cannot be heard by anyone else. Come to my room in the evening."

A look of confusion appeared in Mrs. Yorks' eyes.

Spencer turned around and walked forward dejectedly.

Mrs. Yorks looked at Spencer and noticed how weak his steps had gotten as well as the strands of gray hair on his temples. Her heart became somewhat heavy for some reason.

In Chateau de Selene's living room.

Jay and Angeline squeezed into a single sofa.

Meanwhile, Zayne and Josie sat across them. Cole, Shirley, and their son sat on the other side.

The three couples said nothing to each other.

Chapter 1774

Chapter 1774

Jay looked at the pet rabbit in Angeline's arms, and her beautiful fingers were gently combing over the rabbit's fur. The light in Jay's eyes became more profound and grew more dangerous. He was secretly slandering the rabbit in his heart. He had to find a way to turn this little thing into a dish.

Zayne was cutting Josie's nails, but his mind had wandered somewhere else, causing Josie to cry out tragically, "Ow! That's my flesh!"

The couple hurriedly went upstairs to look for cotton swabs and disinfectant.

Angelina looked at Cole and Sis Shirley with a meaningful glance before suddenly jumping off the sofa. She then took Jay's hand and walked out.

"Jaybie, our daughter is hungry. Let's go look for some grass for her."

Jay, "."

He glanced with bitter hatred at the innocent pet rabbit in Angeline's arms. He would never accept this beast as his own, let alone give an ounce of paternal love to this so-called 'daughter' of theirs. Angeline did not really want to get some grass for her rabbit. It was merely an excuse to go out and make

space for Sis Shirley and Cole to get along.

Inside the living room.

Only Cole, Shirley, and their son were left behind.

Dawn was crawling about on the sofa and accidentally landed in front of Cole. He extended his chubby hands and yanked the delicate button on Cole's cuff.

"Ah... Ah..."

Cole looked at Dawn struggling earnestly with the button, and the child's cuteness amused him.

He suddenly pulled the button off and handed it to Dawn.

Shirley was slightly taken aback and said, "Don't spoil him."

Cole smiled and said, "He's my son. If I don't spoil him, who will?"

Shirley condemned Cole and said, "Even if you want to, this is not the way to do it. What if he swallows the button?"

As soon as she said this, Dawn stuffed the button into his mouth.

Sis Shirley hurriedly snatched the button from the child and said to Cole, "Look after him for a second."

Sis Shirley then went upstairs to look for a needle and thread.

When she went downstairs, she saw Cole lifting Dawn high into the air, and the child was laughing hysterically.

The father and son were having a great time.

Seeing Shirley coming down, Cole placed the child back on the sofa as a touch of embarrassment flashed across his face. Shirley sat beside him somewhat sorrowfully and said, "If you like him, you should hold him more often."

Cole replied, "I'm sorry for not being able to give you and Dawn a warm home."

Sis Shirley smiled bitterly. "I understand."

She lifted his hand and started sewing on the button for him skillfully.

Cole looked at her in a daze. "Do you resent me?"

Shirley said, "What right do I have to resent you for anything? It was an accident. Perhaps this is my fate."

Now, Shirley had begun to take charge of the Severe family's company, so she had a shadow of a resilient woman.

She never blamed the gods or anyone else. She never wallowed in self-pity either.

There was a sense of stubbornness in her humility.

Afterward, she smiled dimly. "Don't worry, I'll still be able to live well without you. In this world, it's not always a loss if someone were to leave us."

 

Chapter 1775

Chapter 1775

Shirley's open-mindedness was making Cole feel more relieved.

"If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, I'll do my best to help you as long as you're willing to share your problems with me," said Cole.

Sis Shirley nodded with a smile. "Alright."

In Chateau de Selene, Cole, Shirley, and Dawn, as well as Mrs. Yorks and Spencer, had reunited after quite some time. It was making the women in Fragrant Vessel Court be filled with resentment and anger. Sandra stood by Fragrant Vessel Court's entrance, looking in the direction of Chateau de Selene. A faint o f sadness was hanging on her charming face.

Judy added fuel to her jealousy and said, "Aunt Sandra, the patriarch can't seem to forget about Mrs. Yorks, and this is an indisputable fact. You have to ask the patriarch to stay away from her if you want to get rid of that troublesome Mrs. Yorks completely."

Sandra clenched her fists as her eyes became filled with ruthless light. "I've worked so hard to get to where I am today. I can't let her destroy all my efforts in vain. Judy, listen to me. If women aren't fierce, their status will always remain unstable."

Judy stared at Sandra in a daze. She was terrified from looking at the harsh cold light in Sandra's eyes.

Sandra closed her eyes and restrained her hostility. Then, she turned to walk inside.

She went into Chloe's room and saw her sitting in her wheelchair with her eyes closed. The servant was busy massaging her legs.

Sandra dismissed the servant. "You may head downstairs."

Chloe opened her eyes and saw Sandra who had an unusual expression on her face. She waved toward the servant, saying, "Go now."

Once the servant left, Sandra sat beside Chloe and began massaging her legs for her.

Meanwhile, she started driving a wedge between the family. "Chloe, Chateau de Selene sure is lively today. The Severe family is visiting as guests today, and your father and Spencer have gone over there ecstatically. Only a few of us women are left all alone in Fragrant Vessel Court."

Chloe said, "My dad wants to see his great-grandson, so let him be."

Sandra then stated her concern, "Oh, Chloe, how are you so clueless? Do you not understand your own father? He wants to pair Cole with Shirley. Think about it, if Shirley officially enters the Yorks family, it'll be a huge advantage for Angeline. Afterward, those sisters will trample in glory in the Yorks household. Who'll be able to control them then?"

Chloe's expression became stern again.

Sandra added, "If Shirley returns to the Yorks family, Sis Crystal will probably come back as well for her grandson's sake. It's not like you're not well aware of how much she dotes on those Severe sisters. When the time comes, Angeline's foundation will be unshakable, and we'll only be able to live our days in the dark."

Chloe retorted, "I'll not sit still here and wait for my doom."

Sandra had succeeded in provoking Chloe, and a bloodthirsty sneer appeared in her eyes.

"This is why we must take measures to prevent Shirley and Sis Crystal from returning to the Yorks household, Chloe."

Chloe felt like she was in a difficult position. "That's..."

It was Grand Old Master Yorks' wish to get Shirley and Mrs. Yorks home. Even though Chloe hated Angeline, she still would not have the heart to disobey Grand Old Master Yorks. After all, Grand Old Master Yorks doted on her so much.

"Do you have a plan?" Chloe decided to find out about Sandra's strategy in advance. If it would not inflict dreadful consequences, perhaps she could turn a blind eye to it. However, if the damage was catastrophic, she could reject her proposal.

Sandra said, "We'll just have to pair Jay up with Judy, and Angeline will naturally leave him. Shirley will take their sisterly affection into account and will no longer step foot inside the Yorks household."

Her idea matched Chloe's.

Chloe was already determined to betroth Judy to Jay. She would not even think twice about the consequences.

What could be better than Judy marrying Jay?

"Don't you think I want that as well? But Jay's willpower is too strong. Even after taking two doses of Love Potion, he's not at all tempted by Judy."

Judy felt completely ashamed when it came to this.

Chapter 1776

Chapter 1776

She was initially extremely confident in snatching Jay for herself. However, even though Jay had taken many doses of Love Potion, he would only have mental hallucinations at most. His words and actions were still very upright.

Sandra glanced at Judy, her gaze filling with resentment. "Come to my room later, and I'll coach you on how to confuse men. How could you still fail to enchant a man with that beauty of yours?" Judy nodded. "Yes."

Sandra said to Chloe again, "While Fragrant Vessel Court is deserted today, find a way to lure Jay over. We'll have to make sure he and Judy consummate their relationship."

Chloe nodded. "I'll find a way."

After discussing the countermeasures, Chloe lay in bed while pretending to be sick. Sandra called the servant over anxiously, "Go to Chateau de Selene and ask Young Master Jay to come over quickly. Tell him that Eldest Madam is suddenly unwell."

The servant glanced at Chloe, who was on the bed, with a puzzled expression on her face. "Wasn't she alright earlier?"

Sandra took off the gold bracelet on her wrist and stuffed it into the servant's hand. "Find a way to get Young Master Jay over."

Then, the servant left happily.

Chateau de Selene.

Atrium Garden.

Angelina and the rabbit were chasing each other around, playing. At times, there was a peal of clear laughter coming from Angeline. "Jac, why are you following me?"

Jay, who was sitting on the bench, looked at the pet rabbit with envy and pure hatred.

At this moment, Zayne and Josie walked over. Josie was also entranced by the rabbit and joined in on the fun.

Zayne sat next to Jay, teasing him. "Hey, where'd you guys pick up your new daughter?"

Zayne originally wanted to ask where they picked up the bloody rabbit, but now that Angeline had acknowledged the little thing as her own, he abruptly changed his words. Jay gave him a death glare.

Zayne stifled back a burst of laughter. "What is it? You don't acknowledge her as your daughter?"

Zayne had certainly not thought about the consequences of joking with a vengeful person like

Jay.

Jay abruptly had an idea and said, "Do you know what kind of rabbit that is?"

Zayne said, "It doesn't really matter. It's just a rabbit anyway."

"This breed of rabbit is very rare. It looks like a Dwarf Hotot, but it's not. This rabbit can be used as medicine for the body-especially for fetal protection, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and blood diseases. It also has other miraculous effects."

When Zayne heard the words 'fetal protection', his eyes shot out a greedy light. He started to scratch himself restlessly.

Jay looked at Zayne's currently restless arms, and his thin charming lips curled into a wicked, arrogant smile.

"This daughter was bought at a very high price," said Jay.

Zayne said, "Why did you buy it? So that it'll be your rival?"

Jay replied, "Angeline is preparing herself to give me sons. I'm rather afraid that the fetus will be in an unstable condition when she becomes pregnant, so I bought it in advance in case of an emergency." Zayne touched his chin with his hand and said menacingly, "So it's bought for fetal protection."

Suddenly, Zayne realized the words Jay had just said and stared at him angrily. "What did you say? Are you still asking my sister to give you more sons?"

Jay said very proudly, "This was her promise to my grandfather when she was a child. She said she'd give birth to a platoon of sons to play football with me."

Chapter 1777

Chapter 1777

Zayne was so shocked that he slipped off the chair and fell to the ground. "What do you take her for? A breeding machine?" Zayne roared. He was so loud that he attracted Angeline and Josephine's attention.

Jay beckoned to Angeline. "Come, Angeline. Come and keep Jaybie company."

Zayne rolled his eyes at him. "Don't you feel disgusted when a big man like you behaves like a spoiled child in front of a woman?"

Jay glanced at Zayne nonchalantly, a wicked sneer tugging one side of his mouth.

Angeline walked over with the pet rabbit, and Zayne's eyes fell greedily on the rabbit. He then stretched out his hand and said, "Can I hold the rabbit, Sis?" Angeline was slightly taken aback, feeling a little surprised. Zayne had never liked tiny animals since he was a child.

Maybe he liked it because she liked it?

She then handed Jac to Zayne without hesitation.

Jay pulled Angeline onto his lap, embracing her tightly with both arms. He was seemingly trying to

merge her into his own body.

"You've been ignoring me lately," Jay complained to Angeline.

Angeline's gaze fell on Jac, then she smiled and said," We have a new baby in the house. I need to spend a portion of my energy to take care of it." Zayne got goosebumps and looked at Angeline speechlessly. "Can you take out a fraction of the love you give to this little creature for your brother?" Jay glared at Zayne and thought, 'I haven't even gotten a fraction for myself, who do you think you are trying to get yourself involved?'

Jay complained even more. "Is Jac more important or me?"

Zayne almost vomited. "F*ck, Master Ares, I can't believe you've lowered yourself to the point where you're even competing with pets now? Ahaha!"

It was only then did Angeline realize she had neglected Jay. She smiled sheepishly.

Who would have thought, however, that Jay the cunning wolf was having ulterior motives in mind? He first told Zayne about the miraculous effects of the Dwarf Hotot at preventing miscarriages, then deliberately put on an envious and disappointed expression before unexpectedly launching his ultimate move.

"Angeline, Josephine likes Jac too. Why not let Jac keep her company while you spend a few days with me?" Jay said.

Angeline hesitated for a moment, then nodded freely and said, "Okay."

Zayne was so excited by the sudden good news that he was left stunned.

He had been plotting in secret ways to get his hands on the rabbit but did not expect Jay to stuff the rabbit to him just like that. What an incredible show of support!

Angeline reminded Zayne over and over again, "Zayne, you must take care of your niece properly. Remember to feed her carrots. Make sure the grass is fresh."

When Zayne heard the word 'niece', his expression sank immediately. He held one of the rabbit's legs and lifted it upside down, turning it left and right to study i t. "How is this creature my niece?" Angeline was just about to let out a shrewish roar at Zayne for mistreating Jac when Jay quickly changed the subject upon noticing something amiss.

"Where's Sis Shirley and Cole, Angeline?"

Angeline was particularly concerned when it came to Sis Shirley and Cole. "We gave them some privacy. I wonder if their conversation is going okay? "Should we go and check it out?" Angeline suggested.

Knowing that Cole still harbored inappropriate intentions toward Angeline, Jay eliminated all

opportunities for them to meet.

"Let's not disturb them."

"Okay."

Suddenly, a servant from Fragrant Vessel Court anxiously ran in and cried out, Master Ares, Madam Chloe passed out. Go and take a look, hurry." Jay stood up abruptly when he heard what the servant said.

Chapter 1778

Chapter 1778

He had just started walking when he hesitated and stopped in his tracks.

He suddenly recalled how his mother had broken up Spencer and Madam Yorks using Love Potion, then remembered the time he mistook Judy for Angeline.

He then sat back down and said to the servant, "Does my dad know about this?"

The servant said, "Master Jordan doesn't know about this yet. Today, the masters have all gathered at Chateau de Selene. Madam Chloe is upset about this, that's why she suddenly fell ill. Master Ares, hurry up and go."

Jay was in a dilemma.

Should he go? He was worried that this was all just Chloe's crafty plot.

If he did not go, however, he was worried that it would turn out to be a misunderstanding.

In the end, Jay turned and stared at Angeline, pleading in a gentle voice, "Come with me, Angeline."

Angeline figured that he was apprehensive about having illusions again and did not want to commit unspeakable crimes because of them, hence she nodded and agreed.

For double insurance, Jay said to the servant again, "Go to the backyard immediately and ask Master Jordan to come home."

"Yes, sir."

When Josephine noticed Jay's solemn expression and anxiety, she knew at once that her brother was worried about Sis Angeline.

Josephine knew that Chloe was a person who liked stirring up trouble, hence she took the initiative to propose, "Brother, Zayne and I will go with Sis

Angeline."

Jay nodded. "Mm."

When Jay and Angeline came to Fragrant Vessel Court, they saw Judy standing at the door eagerly waiting. When she saw Jay walking over with Angeline, Josephine, and Zayne, her gaze turned hazy. "You're finally here, Brother Jay." Judy pretended to sound anxious. "Come in with me. Aunt Chloe is really ill."

Jay ignored her and walked inside.

Judy stopped Angeline, who was walking behind Jay, and said as though she was put in a difficult position," I don't think you should go in, Sis Angeline. I'm afraid Aunt Chloe will get mad when she sees you and it'll aggravate her condition."

Jay chided Judy, "Shut up! Who gave you the right to stop the head of Tourmaline Estate? You're just

someone who lives under other people's roof. Know your place."

Judy shuddered at the sound of Jay's righteous roar, her face burning with humiliation at his warning.

Angeline thought for a while and said to Jay, "I don't think I'll go, Jaybie. Your mother's condition will only get worse if she sees me."

Jay reached out his hand and dragged Angeline inside, saying domineeringly, "That's still no reason for you to stand at the door. Come in and take a seat."

He then ordered the servant at Fragrant Vessel Court," You'd better serve your young madam well."

"Yes," the servant replied, bowing her head.

Angeline, Josephine, and Zayne stayed in the living room on the first floor, whereas Jay went to the second floor alone. Judy followed Jay and sneaked up to the second floor.

Angeline's sharp gaze followed Judy. Worried that Judy was up to no good, she followed her secretly.

Second floor.

Jay walked into Chloe's bedroom and saw Chloe lying on the bed with her eyes closed and her face pale.

Sandra was standing next to her bed. She said anxiously, "You're here at last, Jay. Hurry up and take a look at your mother. Is she having high blood pressure again? Hurry up and take her to the hospital." Jay thought his mother's complexion looked somewhat strange and a little blue, hence he asked," What did you eat today?"

He suspected that Chloe had food poisoning.

Sandra glanced secretly at the burning sandalwood. This was no ordinary sandalwood. It contained strong medicinal properties, and anyone who took in the smell would quickly have muddled consciousness and may even lose their consciousness.

She, on the other hand, had taken the antidote in advance.

Chapter 1779

Chapter 1779

The sandalwood had burned to the end, and the strong scent permeated the entire room. Sandra's eyes revealed a determined smile.

"Sis Chloe's appetite has been really bad lately so she drank half a bowl of chicken soup and ate some tidbits," Sandra replied.

At this moment, Sandra shouted at the top of her lungs, "Where the hell are you, Judy? Where's the glass of water I told you to bring to Aunt Chloe?"

Judy walked in with a glass of warm water. Sandra then said, "Hurry up and give Aunt Chloe some water to moisten her lips."

"Yes." Judy walked toward Chloe.

She scooped a spoonful of water and wet Chloe's lips.

Sandra pretended to sound anxious and cried out, "Oh dear, why hasn't Jordan come back? I'll go and check it out."

She walked outside as she spoke.

When she left the room, she shut the door behind her.

Angeline was standing at the door, and when she saw the malicious smile on Sandra's face, she knew that something was wrong.

Sandra did not expect to see Angeline outside the door and was a little flustered, but she quickly composed herself, asking, "Why are you here, Angeline..." Angeline said coldly, "What are you plotting at?"

Sandra crossed her arms and smiled wickedly. "Are you even listening to yourself, Angeline? What can I possibly do? I'm afraid only those who hold power in Tourmaline Estate are the ones who can actually stir up trouble."

Angeline's almond eyes opened wide. "What do you mean?"

Sandra sowed dissension, saying, "You silly girl, you've been kept in the dark. Let me ask you a question, did Master Ares ask you to come with him today?"

Angeline did not answer.

Sandra smiled and said, "Do you really believe his nonsense and think that he's a man who keeps his hands clean? That he'll remain unmoved even in front of an attractive woman?" Angeline's eyes widened.

Sandra took her mind games up a notch. "If my guess is right, when you caught Master Ares and Judy flirting last time, Master Ares must've gone down on his knees and vowed solemnly that he's innocent, that he only loves you, right?"

Angeline was greatly surprised.

Sandra said again, "In actual fact, he and Judy have gotten together a long time ago. They slept together every day when they were in the hospital. Why else do you think Master Ares was wandering around Fragrant Vessel Court a few days ago? It's because he missed Judy's youthful and alluring body."

"I don't believe it." Angeline forced herself to calm down.

"If Jaybie is really as bad as you said he is, he wouldn't have brought me to Fragrant Vessel Court..."

Sandra looked at Angeline like she was staring at a fool. "You're really naive. If he doesn't do that, how is he supposed to dispel your doubts about him?"

Sandra looked at the door panel. "Do you have the guts to push this door open to seek the truth yourself?"

Angeline raised her hand, but it began to tremble.

Josephine, who was hiding at the staircase, walked out with a look of horror.

"Don't believe her nonsense, Sis Angeline. You know just how much Brother Jay loves you."

Sandra harrumphed and opened a crack in the door for Angeline.

Angeline saw Jay stretching out his hands to take off Judy's clothes, and she felt as though she was struck by lightning at that moment.

Josephine was so shocked that she covered her mouth with both hands. "How could it be?"

Angeline ran away with tears in her eyes.

An evil sneer filled Sandra's eyes.

'Want to fight with me, Angeline Severe? Not a chance.'

Angeline ran to the staircase. There was a mess of thoughts in her head at the moment that was making her go crazy. Jay had betrayed her, lied to her, and made her feel like the world was falling apart. However, her footsteps stopped abruptly and she suddenly recalled Jay's words. "Don't leave me during this time, Angeline. Stay with me..."

She felt as though a basin of cold water had poured down on her from head to toes, waking her up completely. 3

She ran upstairs again.

Chapter 1780

When Josephine saw her running up and down, she cried out, "Zayne, hurry up and come."

Zayne was still sitting on the couch in the living room downstairs, playing with his mobile phone. As soon as he heard Josephine's anxious cries, he left the couch and ran up the stairs. Chloe's bedroom door was locked at some point, and Angelina could not open it no matter how hard she slammed on the door.

"What are you doing, Angelina?" Zayne asked.

Josephine said angrily, "Brother and Judy are having an affair."

Zayne exploded that instant he heard what she said.

Angelina had seemingly gone mad. She slammed the door over and over again with her thin and frail frame. Zayne raged, yelling, "What are you doing? Is it worth it for you to do this for a scumbag?" Angelina only wanted to save Jay. In her opinion, Jay was not a scumbag.

In the house.

Jay's consciousness was muddled. What was worse, Love Potion's chemical reaction was taking place in

his body, and that made him extremely weak, dizzy, and nauseous.

When faced with Angeline's request, he was unwilling to refuse.

"Angeline..." he muttered.

Judy gritted her teeth and gave herself to Jay.

As soon as she got close to Jay, however, she was pushed away. "Go away, you're not Angeline."

Judy gritted her teeth. "Yes, I'm not Angeline. I'm Judy, the one who loves you."

Jay slumped to the ground when all his energy was drained.

Judy threw herself forward. "I love you, Brother Jay. I'm sorry, I love you."

"Go away, go away..." Jay released an outburst of energy once again, viciously grabbing Judy by the hair and smashing her head to the side.

At this moment, he was still slightly rational and needed to use a fast and accurate way to overpower Judy or he would do something that would hurt Angeline's heart.

He heard Angeline crying and screaming outside the door, as well as the offensive words and curses Zayne was hurling at him.

He was extremely anxious, and maybe it was because he was under too much stress that he started spitting

out blood.

"Ah?" Judy was frightened out of her wits. "What's wrong with you, Brother Jay?"

Chloe slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw Jay sitting on the ground with crimson blood on his lips, she was instantly dumbfounded.

"JJ."

The door panel suddenly fell to the ground with a loud crash.

When Angeline saw the blood on Jay's mouth, her legs started trembling so hard that she nearly fell to the ground on her knees.

She staggered and threw herself forward. Jay held Angeline's flustered face and said three words with all his might, "Angeline, be strong."

"

He did not know if he could get through this because a t that very moment, he just felt so exhausted. He was so scared that he would not be able to make it and leave Angeline alone in this world. What was she going to do then?

What he did not know, however, was that his words had left Angeline completely dumbfounded.

Angeline suddenly left him there and ran out.

When Jay saw Angelina's reaction, life slowly turned bleak and lifeless. Then, he passed out completely.

The incident at Fragrant Vessel Court shocked the entire Tourmaline Estate.

Grand Old Master Ares sent Jay to Grand Asia as quickly as he could.

Then...

Jay was unconscious, and Angeline was missing.

Grand Old Master Ares, Grand Old Master Yorks, and Grand Old Master Severe looked into the source of today's tragedy with incomparable grief and indignation.

Josephine let out a heartbreaking cry, accusing the criminal in Fragrant Vessel Court who committed the heinous crime.
