Ch. 1791..1800

Chapter 1791

Grand Old Master Ares said, "Jens, all your father's hopes are dashed. Your mother is just avoiding him and doesn't want to see him for now, but she'll come back one day. If she learns that your father has died innocent and was grievously wronged just because she misunderstood him, wouldn't she live with regrets for the rest of her life too? I'm sure you don't want to see them-"

Jenson cut Grand Old Master Ares off straight away," Great-grandpa, so you also think that my mother will abandon my father?"

Grand Old Master Ares said, "Under normal circumstances, she won't. But things were different that day. Your mother saw something she shouldn't have seen and was momentarily exasperated. That's why it's understandable why she ran away from home."

Jenson took two steps forward and said, "Greatgrandpa, you know better than anyone how much my mother loves my father. Even if my mother misunderstood my father, she won't abandon him when his life is hanging by a thread."

Grand Old Master Ares' expression grew extremely unnatural.

Actually, he knew better than anyone that Angeline would not abandon Jay. Something bad must have happened to Angeline, and that was why she went missing.

However, Grand Old Master Ares refused to accept this hypothesis.

He would rather Angeline be a heartbreaker because a t least then she would be healthy and safe.

Jenson said, "Take them away, Great-grandpa."

At this moment, Chloe suddenly jumped forward and let out a heartbreaking cry. "Jens, please let Grandma g o in and see your father. I know I was wrong. I'll apologize to your father myself. Please give me a chance or I won't have peace of mind."

Jenson walked up to Chloe with a dark yet charming face. His already cold face turned even colder and icier. It was as if it had gone through the most brutal and coldest winter of the year.

"Chloe Yorks, what right do you, a heinous criminal, have to ask for my father's forgiveness? What right do you have to ask for peace of mind? Listen carefully, you deserve to spend your whole life in hell to repent for the things you did, to atone for the wrongs you've done to my mother." Jenson had never liked Chloe to begin with.

Chloe slumped to the ground while trembling.

Grand Old Master Yorks looked at her, and although he felt sorry for her, he did not reach out to help her up. He knew that Jay's hatred would not be dispelled if Chloe did not receive her punishment this time. His leniency toward Chloe would only do more harm than good.

Judy was the only one who remained loyal to Chloe. When she reached out to help Chloe up, Chloe pushed her away and chided, "It's all your fault! You colluded with Sandra to kill my son!" Judy cried...

Jenson said, "Get lost, don't stain my floor."

He then turned around and left without a word.

Chloe let out a heart-wrenching cry, "My son!"

Jenson rejected the doctors' treatment, so everyone thought Jay was dead for sure. This outcome was extremely hard for them to accept.

Grand Old Master Ares, however, eyed the top floor of Carefree Garden skeptically.

Although Jens was young, he was unflustered and would never make rash decisions by allowing Jay to die.

Grand Old Master Ares racked his brain yet still could not figure out what Jenson was up to.

Chloe cried her heart out, wailing, "I'm not leaving! I want to stay beside Jay. If anything happens to him, I'm willing to exchange his life for mine."

The Areses and Severes entered their cars consecutively. Jordan got in the car and glanced at Chloe, meeting her gaze at the same time.

Chloe was just about to beg Jordan to help her to get to Jay but Jordan's gaze lingered only for a fleeting moment before shifting away without a hint of longing.

Chapter 1792

Chapter 1792

Chloe's heart sank abruptly.

She had lost her son as well as her husband.

Jordan could not forgive her for hurting Jay.

Grand Old Master Yorks turned around and got in the car.

Like an abandoned dog, no one wanted to entertain Chloe.

Only Judy and Sandra, who have also been pushed aside like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, still hoped that Chloe would help them make a breakthrough. They continued to serve Chloe carefully.

"Let's go, Chloe," Sandra said bitterly, "No one will care whether you live or die if you stay here. Right now, all you can do is pester them and beg for their forgiveness."

Chloe looked desolated. She was in an extremely awkward state at the moment. The Areses and Severes regarded her as their enemy. Even Grand Old Master Yorks, the one who loved her the most, refused to talk to her right now.

They all treated her as an outsider. If she did not pester and follow them, she would no longer be a member of this family.

Chloe slowly got up and walked toward Grand Old Master Yorks' car.

When Chloe climbed into the car, she looked at Grand Old Master Yorks humbly, but he merely harrumphed and turned his face away. He refused to spare a single glance at her.

Sandra looked obsequiously at Spencer, but his gaze was cold and sinister. He said coldly, "Don't think that you've escaped this just because the Areses haven't punished you. Grand Old Master Ares hasn't punished you yet because he's worried about Jay. Once things have settled down, he'll definitely come back and teach you a lesson."

Sandra asked timidly, "How will he punish us, darling?"

Spencer said, "That depends on Angeline. You'd better pray that they're okay. Angeline is kind-hearted, so long as they're okay, Jay might let this matter drop because you treat him like your own after all. But if anything happens to Jay, then Grand Old Master Ares will definitely hand all of you over to the authorities. You murdered someone and will most probably need to pay with your lives."

When Sandra heard that she was going to pay with her life, she was so afraid that she started praying. "Oh God, Jay, you must make it out alive."

Actually, Spencer had simplified things tremendously.

He had given Chloe a ray of hope thinking that she

would be forgiven as long as Jay made it out alive.

In fact, it was the exact opposite. If Jay came back to life, then her good days would come to an end.

Three days later.

Jay looked forward to dawn with his eyes wide open. He then found the chance to ask Boye, "Is Angeline back yet?"

Boye performed hemodialysis twice and infused some biological agents to purify his blood. Jay's complexion was slowly recovering, and his slight organ failures were gradually repairing. He was more and more like a n ordinary man now.

Jenson was extremely grateful to Boye when he noticed the major improvement in his father's health.

Therefore, Jenson chose to forgive Boye for the catastrophe she brought upon the Areses, repaying injury with kindness.

Jenson looked at Boye. He decided to let the doctor make the decision on whether his father should know that his mother was just next door.

Boye helped Jay to be mentally prepared in advance." You're recovering from a serious illness, JJ. Be sure to keep in mind not to get too excited or too upset. When you see Angeline in a while, you must remain positive no matter what she looks like. Trust me, I will cure her."

Jay glared bitterly at her. What exactly happened to

Angeline?

Chapter 1793

Chapter 1793

Boye smiled and said, "How are you feeling today?"

"I've recovered," Jay replied stiffly.

Boye said, "How could you have recovered so quickly? You need to undergo treatment for at least half a month more. Thank God I came earlier so your treatment didn't get delayed. If I came late and things spiraled out of control, then it's only going to spell trouble."

Jay said, "Aren't you a genius doctor? Why are you afraid of trouble?"

Boye snapped. "You're making things difficult for me on purpose, are you? Listen up, JJ. Grandma is old now and I will die at any time. You'd better take care of yourself in the future. Think about Angeline. She'll only be healthy when you're healthy."

Jay fell silent.

He thought of Angeline and her recurring somatization disorder. Her heart was so fragile and her body was so weak. What would happen to her if he was not around to take care of her?

"Okay," he muttered.

Boye's features eased up and then she said with a smile, "You want to see Angeline, right? Go on then,

she's just next door."

Jay widened his eyes in shock. Anger and surprise were intertwined in his eyes. "She has been by my side these few days?" Boye nodded.

Jay jumped off the bed, and before he could even put on his shoes, he dashed out the door.

He pushed the door of the room next door, and when he saw the thin and silent woman lying on the bed, he felt his heart bleeding.

He dragged his heavy feet toward Angeline, then sat on the chair beside the bed. Tears were rolling down his face uncontrollably. "Angeline." He stroked her face gently.

Her eyes were closed so tightly, and she was so quiet that she resembled a lifeless puppet.

Jay buried his face on her chest, holding her hands and weeping in pain.

A seven-foot man who feared nothing on earth and shed no tears even when facing the tragedy that befell Tourmaline Estate back then was now crying like a child.

His heart that was harder than steel was completely melted by Angeline's kindness as well as gentle yet powerful protection over him.

"Silly, you could've just asked someone else to go to

Cloud City. Why did you go yourself when you're not feeling well?

"Do you know how worried I get when I can't see you when I wake up?

"You're always so kind to me. Why can't you love yourself more?"

Jay murmured many things but did not get the slightest response from Angeline.

The depths of his eyes turned colder and colder, eventually condensing into frost. The cold air seemed to have penetrated his entire body, encasing him in ice. "It's my fault for not protecting you well."

There was a cold, bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes. His dashing face became gloomy. He tightened his grip on Angeline's hand as an aura of destruction hovered over him.

Boye stood at the door, afraid that Jay would be overwhelmed with grief and end up harming his body that was in the midst of recovering. She walked up to him and reminded him softly, "Angeline can hear you, JJ. She can feel your touch. Don't be sad because this can affect her emotions. It won't be conducive for her recovery."

Shocked, Jay looked up at Angeline blankly only to see her eyes remaining firmly shut. Her palm-sized face was so quiet that she resembled a doll. There was no response from her at all.

Jay gently stroked Angeline's messy hair. The hostility around his body gradually dispersed, turning into tenderness as it blanketed Angeline.

Boye looked at Jay, every subtle expression on his face not escaping her eyes. Angeline was the source of his sorrow, his wrath, and his tranquil tenderness. Angeline was the source of all his emotions

Chapter 1794

Chapter 1794

Angeline was in poor health, though.

How long more would Jay need to keep being worried about her?

Boye was afraid that Jay would go too deep into his emotions and end up shortening his lifespan because of that.

However, Boye was different from Chloe. Chloe was probably afraid that Angeline's weak and ill physique would drag Jay down, so she deliberately tried to separate them. However, that only made Angeline and Jay's health deteriorate further.

Boye would not take her anger out on Angeline because she knew that there was no other woman in this world who loved Jay more than Angeline. In fact, Jay was also the reason why Angeline was ill. If there had not been so many ups and downs in Angeline's life that were triggered by Jay, things would not have gotten so serious either.

"When will Angeline wake up, Grandma?" Jay asked suddenly.

Boye looked as though she was asked a very difficult question... After a long time, she said somewhat perfunctorily, "She's doing much better than the last

few days. Her muscles aren't that tense anymore. I think she'll get better soon."

Jay gently squeezed Angeline's stiff arm, and huge teardrops flowed out of his eyes.

Grandma Boye was not completely sure about Angeline's illness.

"What can I do?" he asked.

Boye said, "Just make sure you and Angeline are in good moods. Who knows, Angeline might just recover all of a sudden because she's happy." Jay nodded. "What else?"

Boye mulled it over and said, "If you're willing, you can talk to her while giving her a massage."

"Mm."

Tourmaline Estate.

Fragrant Vessel Court.

Grand Old Master Yorks sat at the doorway, staring at the stone-paved road outside.

Chloe brought tea and walked over while trembling. She said obsequiously, "Have some water, Dad."

Grand Old Master Yorks turned around and looked at her blankly.

"Chloe, you've finally succeeded in separating Angeline and Jay. Are you happy now?"

Chloe cried out bitterly, "I know I was wrong, Dad."

Grand Old Master Yorks said weakly, "You've broken Angeline's heart completely and she has left your darling son for real this time. And because your darling son can't see Angeline, he refuses to receive treatment from Grand Asia's doctors. What awaits him right now is complete organ failure and ultimately, death. You must be really happy to see things turn out this way, huh?"

He grew even more furious as he spoke. He grabbed a teacup and hurled it at Chloe's face. "Are you happy now?"

Chloe knelt on the ground, hot water dripping down her forehead. However, she could not feel a thing apart from her heart that was stinging sharply.

"Dad, why don't you send your men to look for Angeline? As long as Angeline returns, JJ will listen to her and cooperate with the doctors to receive treatment."

Grand Old Master Yorks snapped. "What's the use of searching for her now? In her opinion, your son cheated on her with Judy. We still don't know if she'll forgive your son or even come home." Chloe said, "I'll explain things to her. I'll beg her to come back."

"Do you think she would want to see you?" Grand Old Master Yorks roared.

"Chloe Yorks, you still don't understand, do you? Let me tell you, everyone agrees that Angeline is a notable and eminent princess. Just because you're her mother-in-law, you attempted to pull her down from the throne and caused her to fall and break into pieces. You, however, will be the first one to be smashed to death."

At this moment, Jordan walked downstairs holding a document in his hand.

This was the first time since the incident that Jordan had taken the initiative to walk toward Chloe.

Chapter 1795

Chapter 1795

When Chloe saw Jordan walking toward her, she thought that Jordan was no longer mad at her and was finally willing to talk to her.

Who would have thought, however, that Jordan would throw a document at her the moment he walked up to her. He said indifferently, "Chloe Yorks, this is our divorce agreement. Take a look, and if you have no objections, then put down your signature."

Chloe instantly went berserk, shoving the divorce agreement back to Jordan. She took his hand, begging bitterly, "I don't want to divorce, Jordan. I don't want to divorce."

Jordan pulled Chloe's hand away and looked at her hideous face, saying purposefully, "Chloe Yorks, I fell in love with you without a single hesitation back then because of your beauty. Now, I will leave you without a single hesitation because of your ugliness.

"Just look at yourself. Not only do you have an ugly face, but you also have an ugly heart. I don't know what reason I have anymore to love a woman who's ugly both inside and out."

Chloe pushed Jordan away and roared, "You're turning your back against me?"

Jordan said, "Yes, I'm turning my back against you. Chloe Yorks, I regret not seeing your ugly heart sooner, I regret bringing you back to Imperial Capital, and I regret giving you the opportunity to hurt my son. Chloe Yorks, in all fairness, is Jay really that bad?

"He loves Angeline so much, and though he clearly knows that we have hurt Angeline over and over again, he chose not to take Angeline's side because of his love for us. But you, you couldn't even see his forbearance and grievance when he made these concessions. You don't know how guilty Jay is toward Angeline.

"You made things difficult for Angeline so often, testing Jay's limits time and again. Not only have you destroyed your relationship with your son, but you're also trying to destroy his life. Tell me, what reason do have to spend the rest of my life with you? You're the executioner who killed my son. I don't want to see you..."

Chloe pulled at her hair in agony. "That was an accident! Jordan, I love my son too."

Jordan said, "It wasn't an accident. That's your retribution for not being able to tolerate Angeline."

Jordan recollected himself and said calmly, "Pack your things and get out of Tourmaline Estate."

He turned and left after saying those words.

Chloe broke down emotionally and pounced at Jordan, embracing him tightly from behind while wailing, "I don't want to leave you, Jordan. I beg you. Don't make me leave you. I know I was wrong. I really do. I'm willing to make amends for my sins, but please, don't leave me."

Chloe's mind was filled with scenes and images of her and Jordan when they were in love.

They had spent many agonizing days hand in hand. Even then, Jordan never once gave up on her no matter how depressed she was.

She knew that Jordan did not mind her ugly appearance at all. He was just disappointed in her because he had lost his son.

"I love you, Jordan. You can't leave me alone."

Jordan turned around and pushed her away.

He looked at Chloe indifferently, saying, "No, you don't love me. What you have for me isn't love but reliance."

Chloe widened her pupils in shock and looked at Jordan in disbelief. "I do love you."

Jordan wore a completely disheartened expression.

"Jay and Angeline's relationship is the model of love. Angeline is willing to give up her hatred toward us for Jay, even to the point of making compromises to please us.

"She tolerates Jay's relatives without boundaries.

Angeline's love encompasses all. Jay, on the other hand, shields Angeline. He keeps her company and stays by her side until death does them apart.

"Truly I must say that their love is out of this world. It's a sublime love that no ordinary people can learn from. Compared to their all-encompassing love, you've never cared about my feelings. You clearly know that I don't want you to hurt Angeline and give Jay trouble, but you ignore my words over and over again. You stubbornly insist on doing things your own way.

"Chloe, I used to think that you were just willful, but now, I know that it's not willfulness. You never loved me to begin with, am I right?"

"No, I love you," Chloe said weakly.

Chapter 1796

Chapter 1796

Jordan sneered, "That's just a lie I've been telling myself all these years."

Jordan turned around and left in a desolate state.

Chloe fell to the ground, wailing her heart out.

"Argh, how did things turn out this way?!"

Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Chloe with a stabbing pain in his heart.

Spencer, Sandra, Judy, and Cole had gathered around. All of them were staring at her, unsmiling and without a word.

In the end, it was Cole who broke the stifling atmosphere.

"Aunt Chloe, there's a philosophical saying that goes like this, 'your character determines your destiny.

Your tough life is determined by your character.' In a nutshell, you can only blame yourself for the things that have happened to you today."

Chloe stared at Cole, finding it impossible to refute the things he said.

Sandra carefully spoke on Chloe's behalf, "Cole, your aunt knows she was wrong. Stop adding insult to her injury."

Cole looked at Sandra as a wicked sneer formed on his dashing face. "Alright, she knows she was wrong.

What about you? Do you know that you're in the wrong too?"

Sandra's face paled slightly. "I... I... I was wrong too."

Cole said, "In the past few days, everyone has been pointing their fingers at Chloe Yorks as she's the culprit and because she deserves it. But do you think you're not at fault just because no one is making things difficult for you?"

Sandra's body was shaking violently.

"I may be wrong, Cole, but I was only following your aunt's orders. How could I not listen to her when she orders me to do something?"

Cole smiled and said, "You can go ahead and continue fooling my dad, but I'm not an idiot. I won't believe your nonsense."

Sandra glanced at Spencer in trepidation, but Spencer was glaring at Cole sullenly.

Sandra breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. Spencer was probably mad at Cole for being disrespectful.

Cole looked at Spencer speechlessly. "Why are you looking at me? I didn't say anything wrong. You believe everything Sandra says. It has been this way for many years, no?" Spencer clenched his fists before shifting his furious gaze to Sandra. "Sandra, how dare you persuade my sister to use Love Potion on Jay?! You deserve to be punished."

This was the first time Sandra saw Spencer showing her such a ferocious expression. She was so frightened that she shuddered and fell to the ground.

"No, I didn't. Old Master Yorks, Sis Chloe was the one who ordered me to do it..."

Spencer suppressed the anger in his heart and said," Don't even think that you can be lucky enough to escape this. The only reason I'm not punishing you right now is that we're in Tourmaline Estate, not because I still love you. You've made a mistake, and the Areses should be the ones to punish you."

Sandra breathed a sigh of relief slightly.

She had stayed in Mount Pearl all her life and had not met anyone outside of Mount Pearl. The handful she met in the outside world, such as Angelina and Madam Yorks, had left a cowardly and timid impression on her.

Therefore, she would rather Spencer hand her over to be punished by someone from outside the family because she firmly believed that the Areses were kind and would not punish her too severely.

Chapter 1796

Chapter 1797

Chapter 1797

Sandra's dreams turned into dust.

Jay arrived at Tourmaline Estate with an imperious aura. When Grand Old Master Ares saw Jay, he did not even have the time to be surprised. Rather, he was taken back by how threatening Jay appeared.

Grand Old Master Ares was an old man who had experienced various vicissitudes in his lifetime. His temperament became calmer as he got older. He knew when he should take a step back to keep peace in the family.

Grand Old Master Ares did not want Jay to keep killing people. That was because he knew that when there was killing, there would be hatred. An eye for an eye made the whole world blind.

Grand Old Master Ares secretly told his servant, "Go to Fragrant Vessel Court now and tell Grand Old Master Yorks that Young Master Jay is back."

After the servant left, Grand Old Master Ares said to Jay, "JJ, Grandpa knows you're feeling terrible, but now that you've returned safely, put aside your hatred, n

Jay kept quiet, his handsome face shrouded by eerie frost. He said to Grand Old Master Ares in an

indifferent tone, "No."

After he said that, he left with Grayson and the others.

Grand Old Master Ares was petrified by how cold and detached Jay was.

Jay's chilly attitude reminded him of how closed off Jay was when he was young.

At that time, he barely spoke and could not empathize with others.

He seemed to just be in his own world.

"JJ, how are you?" Grand Old Master Ares saw that his complexion was getting back to normal. Although he thought that Jay might be feeling better, he did not know exactly how Jay recovered, so he was not entirely sure if he was completely fine.

Jay kept walking and said, "I'm okay."

Immediately after, he headed to Fragrant Vessel Court.

Grand Old Master Ares' gaze fell on the group of people following Jay. They looked like righteous young people, but he was not sure who they were.

Grand Old Master Ares turned his head and asked the butler, "Do you know who these people are?"

The butler was uncertain and shook his head.

Grand Old Master Ares thought about it for a while. If Jay wanted to seek revenge, he would have brought along the Ghost members. Since they were not with him, he probably would not cause too much trouble.

However, he still felt flustered, so he told the butler," Bring my phone. I have to call Jens and ask him what's going on."

The butler quickly fetched his phone. After the call got through, he respectfully handed the phone to Grand Old Master Ares.

Grand Old Master Ares grabbed the phone and could not wait to ask Jens. "Jens, tell me, how did your daddy recover?"

Jenson said coldly, "My mommy came back."

Grand Old Master Ares had guessed that Jay's recovery had something to do with Angeline. He was relieved, but at the same time, he knew that something was wrong. As such, he asked Jens nervously, "How's your mommy?"

Jenson answered, "Not good. Not good at all."

Grand Old Master Ares instantly understood why Jay came to Tourmaline Estate looking so furious.

He came to avenge Angeline.

"What happened to your mommy?" Grand Old Master Ares was praying that Angeline was not in big trouble.

Jenson said coldly, "She's in a vegetative state. The doctor said she may never wake up."

Grand Old Master Ares was petrified.

No wonder Jay was so angry!

Grand Old Master Ares' heart fell into the bottomless abyss as he uttered, "How can this be?"

Angeline was a beam of light in Jay's dark world.

Jay's world would collapse the moment Angeline fell.

Jay was resentful, and it would be impossible for him to keep it in!

Chapter 1798

Chapter 1798

"Quickly, take me to Fragrant Vessel Court," Grand Old Master Ares said anxiously.

Fragrant Vessel Court.

When Grand Old Master Ares' servant shared the news of Jay's arrival at Tourmaline Estate, everyone in Fragrant Vessel Court was overjoyed.

Grand Old Master Yorks was ecstatic and said, "JJ has healed?"

Chloe and Sandra were surprised!

Chloe said excitedly, "That's great! JJ is okay, I don't have to blame myself anymore."

While everyone was thrilled, the servant looked extremely solemn. He said, "Grand Old Master Ares asked me to tell you about Young Master Jay's return in advance so that you can be prepared."

Grand Old Master Yorks was dumbfounded. He knew that something was unusual.

Grand Old Master Yorks immediately shifted his gaze to Chloe, Sandra, and Judy.

"The three of you, if you don't want to die, hurry up and hide."

Chloe and Sandra were not fully aware of the

impending danger. They looked at each other. Chloe was relaxed as she said, "Dad, he's my son after all. I did something wrong, and he got angry and scolded me. What else is he going to do?" Grand Old Master Yorks shouted, "Did you forget that he said he no longer wants to have anything to do with you? He no longer thinks of you as his mother!"

Chloe smiled and said, "He was just angry at the time. Now that he has recovered, maybe he's coming over to apologize to me."

Grand Old Master Yorks thought about it for a while. Her words made some sense.

In the end, Cole had to remind them, "The question that you should ask is whether Angeline is okay. If she's not, do you think Master Ares is here to apologize to you?" It was only then that they snapped out of their dreams.

Chloe's expression turned sour.

Grand Old Master Yorks said weakly, "Go, go and hide."

Sandra and Judy grabbed Chloe before heading in.

Soon, Jay, Grayson, and the others arrived at Fragrant Vessel Court. Their arrival instantly enveloped Fragrant Vessel Court with the looming feeling of death.

"Where's Chloe Yorks?"

Jay stood in the hall like an ice sculpture. His anger was on full display on his sullen face.

He did not bother to speak. Grayson was managing the situation on his behalf.

Chloe was hiding in the dark but had pricked her ears to listen to the movements in the living room.

When she heard Grayson calling her by her full name with disdain in his voice, Chloe's hopes disappeared.

She had to face the cruel truth again, which was that Jay no longer thought of her as his mother.

Grand Old Master Yorks walked to Jay tremblingly. Jay had recovered well, and his complexion was back to normal. That made Grand Old Master Yorks very happy. "JJ, how are you doing?"

"Don't worry about it," Jay said coldly.

Grand Old Master Yorks trembled. He endured the grief in his heart and said earnestly, "I'm your grandfather. How can I not care if you're not well?"

Jay sneered and said, "I'm no longer related to the Yorks family."

Grand Old Master Yorks almost fainted when he heard Jay's words.

Jay's anger had spread to every corner of the Yorks family.

Chloe shed tears of regret.

Chapter 1799

Chapter 1799

Grand Old Master Yorks had a lump in his throat. "I know you hate your mother, you hate her for hurting you and Angeline endlessly. Your mother went too far this time. It's more than fair that you're angry at her. She's getting the punishment that she deserves. Your father wants to leave her and I've been ignoring her. She has had a very difficult life during this period. It's what she deserves and she can't blame anyone."

Jay sneered and said, "Punishment that she deserves?"

His slender body approached Grand Old Master Yorks as he said in a harsh voice, "It's not you who decides what punishment she should receive. That's up for me to decide."

"What do you want to do to her?" Grand Old Master Yorks asked fearfully.

Grand Old Master Yorks was a giant who once set off destruction in the underworld. He was one who disregarded human life. At that moment, however, as he faced the irreconcilable clash between his beloved grandson and his daughter, he felt a great sense of powerlessness.

There was bloodthirst in Jay's eyes as he said, "I want her... to die. I want her to be out of Angeline's life forever."

When Chloe heard what Jay said, it felt like death itself. In just a short quiet moment, it choked the breath from her body and short-circuited her mind.

Grand Old Master Yorks looked at the resentful Jay. His once bright darling grandson with whom he could talk and laugh unscrupulously was now gone. Now, he thought that Jay was scarier than the devil. "JJ, although your mother has made many mistakes, she doesn't deserve to die. You're still angry now, so I can't hand her to you. When you calm down, come here and ask me for her again," Grand Old Master Yorks said with extreme sorrow.

Jay said coldly, "I've never been more clear-headed. My forgiving her for her past mistakes is the worst decision I've made."

After that, Jay motioned to Grayson and said, "Find them."

Grayson yelled at the people behind him, "Cover all grounds and make sure you find Chloe Yorks, Sandra, and Judy Moore." Immediately after, a group of young people searched the various rooms of Fragrant Vessel Court.

"They're here!"

Soon, they found Chloe, Sandra, and Judy in the utility room.

Jay clenched his fists. His joints made a creaking sound.

When Chloe was dragged out, she saw Jay staring at her with eyes full of contempt and hatred. Her heart was broken.

She panicked and begged for mercy, "JJ, I'm your mother. You can't kill me, you can't..." She burst into tears. "It'll ruin your reputation if other people hear about how you killed your mother."

Jay said furiously, "I don't care about anything else. I just want to clear all the obstacles for Angeline and make sure that she can live the rest of her life with peace of mind. It's worth any price I have to pay." 1 After all, everything that he did, he did it for Angeline.

Chloe was full of regret. She used to take advantage of her status as the mother-in-law and tried her best to separate Angeline and Jay.

She realized that she had been foolish to think that way.

If she had not hurt Angeline, Jay could still let her off. However, she had hurt Angeline time and again. Now, Jay was drawing the line.

"Is she really that great? So great that you're willing to kill your mother for her?" she wailed in mourning.

Jay said, "My life was taken away by you. Angeline gave me my life back in exchange for her health. So, what do you think?"

His speech thoroughly explained why Jay came for revenge.

Jay raised his hand domineeringly.

Grayson understood what he meant and ordered," Make sure they get what they deserve."

The group of people swarmed up to Chloe, Sandra, and Judy to viciously beat them up.

The three women screamed tragically, "Help!"

Judy looked at Jay in despair and shouted with heartbreak, "Brother Jay, please forgive me! I know what I did was wrong!"

Chapter 1800

Chapter 1800

One of the young men took out a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid. He unscrewed the lid and intended to pour it on Judy's face.

Judy shuddered in horror. Jay was about to destroy her beautiful face that she had always taken pride in.

"Please, don't!" She was a martial artist. Suddenly, she jumped, and the concentrated sulfuric acid went down her back. 1 "Help!" Judy cried out tragically.

Sandra and Chloe were frightened out of their minds when they saw what happened to Judy.

"No!"

Sandra's ribs were broken. She lay down on the ground, suffering heart-piercing pain.

One of the mercenaries stepped on Chloe's hand. Her hand became bloody and mangled.

Grand Old Master Yorks looked at the violent scene, his face as pale as a ghost. He tried to stop it but was not sure how.

"It's karma. The Yorks family have sinned far too much and this is payback!" he screamed.

Grand Old Master Yorks, Spencer Yorks, and Jordan

Ares looked at the tragedy unfold... but they could not do anything about it. That was because Jay's mercenaries stood right beside them.

If they dared to stop them, Jay would surely have them beaten up too.

When Grand Old Master Ares arrived, his face turned pale upon seeing the scene in front of him.

"JJ, stop it." He staggered over hurriedly.

Jay ordered the servant in a chilly tone, "Bring Grand Old Master Ares back home. No one is allowed to intervene."

Grand Old Master Ares had to pull out his trump card." JJ, I've asked Angeline to come over. She should be here soon. You know she has been timid since she was young. Do you want her to see such a bloody scene?" 1

Jay gritted his teeth and said, "You..."

Jay had been afraid to show Angeline his vicious side since they were young. He only showed Angeline his soft side.

That was because he was afraid that Angeline would be afraid of him if she knew that he was so cruel. At that time, he would lose his lovely bundle of joy.

"Stop," Jay gave his orders reluctantly.

The mercenaries stepped back.

Grand Old Master Ares looked at the three women

who were terribly beaten up. He then shook his head and sighed. "You're lucky that Angeline is here today. If Angeline wasn't coming, it would be the end for the three of you." What he said was not an exaggeration, because at that moment, the mercenaries removed their masks. It was then revealed that they were all Ghost members.

Storm, Tempest, and Finn Gallagher were among them.

Grand Old Master Yorks broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the line-up.

He had thought that they were in disguise so that if they were to commit murder, they could escape easily.

Chloe, Sandra, and Judy hugged each other. Besides the physical pain that they were feeling throughout their bodies, they were also panicking. 1

The boardwalk outside Fragrant Vessel Court.

Jenson, dressed in all white, was carrying Angeline on his back.

Jay glared at Jens as Jens said aggrievedly, "Daddy, Mommy was worried when she didn't see you when she woke up."

Angeline said faintly, "Jaybie."
