Chapter 2091
Angeline was stunned.
Then, tears welled up in her eyes. "Jaybie..."
Jay said, "I know you don't wish for this, Angeline, but this is really serious..." Jay had prepared a lengthy speech to persuade Angeline.
Angeline was a person who put the greater good above anything else. Even though she was filled with grief, she held back her sorrows and nodded firmly.
"Don't say anymore, Jaybie. I support you."
Jay was relieved to have Angeline's support. Though immediately after that, the thought of the farewell that was soon to come left his heart hollow as regret overwhelmed him.
"Angeline, once I'm gone, I'll leave Angel in your hands. That child is extremely mischievous and you may not be able to control her. If she's really disobedient and makes you upset, then hit her if you must." Angeline did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"That's your precious baby. Everyone in Tourmaline Estate knows that you pamper Angel. You're the good guy in her eyes and now you're asking me to hit her? Once I become the bad guy, Angel won't like me
anymore."
Jay said aggrievedly, "I'm just worried that she'll make you angry, that's why I'm giving you a tip."
Angelina's head hurt when she thought of how she was going to take care of Angel herself after this.
Jay asked her, "Be honest with me, Angeline. Is taking care of Angel more tiring or was it tougher to take care of Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty?"
Angeline said honestly, "You can't compare it like that. It's Angel versus three."
Jay let out a wry smile. "Looks like I've spoiled her."
After mulling it over, he continued, "Angeline, let's hire a few caretakers and get them to accompany Angel to bed so you can sleep peacefully." Angeline stared at Jay...
Jay had been taking care of Angel himself since she was born and had always been afraid to leave this task to anyone else. Now that he was leaving, he was actually enduring the pain in his heart to make this suggestion just because he was worried that she would be too tired?
Angeline smiled warmly. "Don't worry about me. You should worry about your own affairs. When are you leaving? Who are you taking with you? When are you coming back?"
Jay stared at Angelina's beautiful and clean face, saying firmly, "I'll come back early for you."
Angeline nodded. "Mm."
When Angeline and Jay came downstairs, they saw Joseph and Angel playing with toys together in the play area.
Jens, Baby Bodie, and Zayne were sitting on the couch, chatting and drinking coffee.
When they saw Jay and Angeline, Jens and Baby Bobbie stood up. "Mommy, Daddy."
Angeline could roughly guess why they were here and said straight away, "Baby Bobbie, go back and tell the sisters to prepare for the college entrance examination." Baby Bobbie stood up anxiously. "Who will go to Sacred Land to find Blood Lily, then?"
"I'll go," Jay said.
Jenson and Baby Bobbie exchanged glances, surprised by the unexpected result of Mommy and Daddy's discussion.
"Can you bear to part with Mommy, Daddy?" Jenson asked.
Jay fell into deep thought.
He was more than sad to part with Angeline.
He was worried about Angeline as well. It was not easy to take care of a child. He wondered if her thin and fragile body could take it?
He was even more worried that Angeline's somatization disorder would relapse again if she grew too worried about him after he was gone. Jenson and Baby Robbie noticed Daddy's pain and hesitation. They both felt equally heartbroken.
Chapter 2092
Chapter 2092
Baby Robbie said, "Let me go, Daddy."
Jay said, "Your mother's right. She hopes you will live an ordinary life. You shouldn't skip your college entrance examination."
Baby Robbie sighed.
Jenson had an idea and said with a smile, "I have an idea. Mommy, Daddy, there are still three months until the college entrance examination. Daddy can take the Ghost members to search for Sacred Land first, and when Baby Robbie and the sisters have completed their examination, they'll go and offer Daddy assistance. Daddy can then come home after that."
Baby Robbie said, "Okay. This is a good idea."
Jay looked at Angeline, and she muttered, "If your father still hasn't found Blood Lily in three months, then we'll do that."
Hearing that Daddy was going out on a vacation, Angel trotted over with her short legs and hugged Jay's thigh while saying in a spoiled manner, "Bring Angel with you, Daddy. Angel wants to go on an adventure with you."
Jay patted his daughter's little head. "It's dangerous to go on an adventure. You don't have to go."
Angel patted her chest like a tiny adult and said in a childish voice, "I don't want to go if it's not dangerous enough."
Baby Robbie pulled his sister to him and laughed." You can't even speak well and you're already hoping to go on an adventure?"
Zayne, who had remained silent the whole time, suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go with you, Brother Jay."
Jay looked askance at him with a complicated look in his eyes. Feeling both touched and angry, he said," Why do you want to go? To argue with me?"
Jay was under the impression that he and Zayne were always arguing whenever they were together.
Of course, Jay was not annoyed by Zayne. He simply thought that he would feel more at ease leaving Zayne to Josephine and Angeline.
Zayne assured repeatedly, saying, "I promise not to argue with you."
Jay said, "Stay and take care of Josephine and Angeline for me. Help me discipline Angel too."
Zayne glanced at Angel and saw her glaring at him, hinting at Zayne that if he was bold enough to accept Daddy's mission, she would not let him live in peace.
The corners of Zayne's mouth began twitching. He glared at Angel and asked, "Your father is the one who wants me to discipline you, not me. Why are you glaring at me? There's no debt without creditors. If you're that bold, why don't you go complain to your Daddy instead?"
Angel said with righteous indignation, "It's easier to bully a pushover."
Zayne was exasperated. "Are you saying that I'm a pushover?"
Angel nodded. "That's exactly what I mean."
Zayne was furious. He then hugged Jay and said," Brother Jay, I'll leave with you. I can't discipline your little devil."
Angeline exposed Zayne's scheme immediately. "Big Brother, you just don't want to stay back and take care of Joseph and Angel, right?"
Zayne laughed sheepishly.
Zayne had been a stay-at-home dad for three years. He received no rewards when he did a good job and was scolded terribly by his wife when he did not do a good job. He wanted so badly to leave this place.
Jay pushed Zayne away. "You've become the object of envy of many men but you don't know it."
Zayne cried out, "Do you think everyone wants to be around their wife and kids everyday?"
Jay had been doing business since his teenage years. Since young, he had been diligent and assiduous. It was exhausting to be in the business field. To be able to spend time with his beloved Angeline was the most blissful thing to him.
Zayne had fooled around when he was young. Now, he had a family and a career, but he had yet to find success in his career. This left him a little disappointed as he was afraid that he would not be able to become a hero in his son's heart.
Angeline was extremely understanding and knew all about Zayne's struggles, hence she said to him, "Big Brother, why don't you discuss it with Josephine and see what she says? If she agrees, then I have nothing to say."
Zayne left in delight.
At the thought of Jay's imminent departure, Angeline said to Jay, "Jaybie, take some time to go to the Yorks family's villa and spend some time with Mom, Dad, and Grandpa."
Chapter 2093
Chapter 2093
Jay understood Angeline's reasons for doing so. She wanted him to inform the Yorks family members. However, Angeline would leave it to him to decide on whether he wanted to break the news to them. Jay looked at Angeline with a loving gaze. Her open-mindedness and transparency helped him feel a sense of relief at such times.
Apart from marrying such a wife, what more could a man ask for?
"There's no need to choose another day. I'll go right now," Jay said.
Angeline nodded.
Jay suddenly took Angeline's hand and said tenderly," You'll come with me."
He wanted to keep Angeline company in the last few days.
Angeline knew that he could not bear to part with her and was worried about her, hence she gave in to his wishes.
Jenson and Baby Robbie said, "We'll go with Daddy too." "Okay," Jay said sourly.
Half an hour later, Jay arrived at the Yorks family's villa with his wife and sons.
Grand Old Master Yorks was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear. Besides, Grand Old Master Yorks was closer to his grandson than his own children. His love for Jay surpassed his love for his children, and his love for Angel surpassed his love for everyone else.
When he saw Angel, Grand Old Master Yorks tossed his cane aside and rushed up to Angel with featherlight steps to pick her up."
"Hahaha, you little brat, I've missed you so much!"
Angel's eyes were filled with tears as she began to complain, "Great-grandpa, Daddy is going somewhere really far for a vacation but he doesn't want to bring me along."
Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Jay and Angelina in a daze. He could already guess what was going on.
"I heard that something happened to Grayson and Andy. I knew something big would happen in Tourmaline Estate. I didn't know it would happen so soon," Grand Old Master Yorks said despondently. Jay initially wanted to hide the truth, but since Grand Old Master Yorks had brought up the topic, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
Jay said, "Grandpa, I'm here today to tell you that I'll be going away for a period of time. I hope you can move back to Tourmaline Estate during this time to take care of it for me."
He turned to look at Angeline, his eyes full of worry.
Chloe knew what his son was worried about and volunteered, saying, "JJ, I've lived all my life for myself and have no idea what boundless love is, nor do I understand what it means to put the country first. However, I love my child, and if this is a joint decision between you and Angeline, then I support you. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Angeline and Angel after you leave. I won't make you worry." Jay nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Mom."
Cole was sitting on one side drinking coffee without a word. Grand Old Master Yorks swept his gaze to Cole and said in a disgusted tone, "You brat. Since you have nothing to do at home, why don't you go with your cousin on an adventure? I get irritated when I look at you."
Cole placed the cup of coffee on the table and glared gloomily at Grand Old Master Yorks, saying, "Think about it carefully, Old Man. I'm your only grandson. It's dangerous out there. Besides, Brother Jay is going out to search for the Davises' secret antidote. If the Davises find out about it, do you think they'll let him succeed? They'll send people to hunt him down."
Cole was speaking the truth. However, that was how humans were. Before anything came true, humans would always look at things optimistically.
When Cole exposed the harsh and cruel reality, Angeline was so terrified that her legs went limp.
Grand Old Master Yorks said, "What's the point of sending you there if it isn't dangerous? The Yorks' grandson isn't a useless piece of trash that needs to be kept safe and sound."
Cole rolled his eyes at Grand Old Master Yorks. He was speechless. "Why do I have a grandpa like you? You don't know how to feel sorry for your children and grandson at all."
Grand Old Master Yorks raged, "I'm asking you to go with your cousin so you can take care of each other. With your ruthlessness and your cousin's wisdom, I believe you will both return home victorious." Grand Old Master Yorks was extremely thoughtful. Jay was kind-hearted by nature and grew up under the rule of law, hence he sometimes could not bring himself to be ruthless.
On the other hand, Cole grew up among bandits and could definitely make up for Jay's fatal weakness. 2
Chapter 2094
Chapter 2094
Cole looked at Jay who was exuding a kingly aura and twitched his mouth. "I don't want to hang out with him. He's a loud-mouth."
Jay's jaw dropped. "You're obviously retreating because you're not as good as me."
Cole was angered. "I'm not as good as you? What else are you good at aside from being loquacious?"
Jay smiled proudly. "I'm better than you in everything."
One should never compete with Jay in front of Angeline.
Angeline persuaded them and said, "Stop arguing. This isn't the time to argue. Are you going or not, Cole? If you're going, then at least say goodbye to Sis Shirley and Dawn."
As soon as she mentioned Dawn's name, Grand Old Master Yorks was infuriated.
Dawn was four years old now yet Cole and Shirley's relationship was still lukewarm. Like the boiling frog syndrome, they both had the same mentality of allowing nature to take its course. Grand Old Master Yorks was anxious. He feared that Dawn would not even acknowledge his biological
father on the day he died. If that happened, the Yorks family would not have any more descendants left. Grand Old Master Yorks said grumpily, "You're not family anyway. There's no need to say goodbye."
Everyone could tell that Grand Old Master Yorks was mad.
Cole said, "Fine. I won't see them, then."
Grand Old Master Yorks was infuriated. "You... You're a disappointment."
Noticing how fiercely both grandfather and grandson were arguing, Angeline quickly changed the subject." Where's Aunt Crystal?"
Cole put away his bad temper and answered Angeline with a much softer tone.
"My mother has been bedridden since she came back."
Having said those words, Cole darted a condemning gaze at Spencer indignantly.
Spencer and Sandra's love that came at the wrong time had moved many Yorks family members but not Mrs. Yorks.
When Mrs. Yorks learned about Spencer's infatuation for Sandra before he married her, her world collapsed.
Perhaps it was due to depression that her body could not take the huge blow. Now, she could no longer get out of bed. Angeline said to Jay, "I'll go and check out on Aunt
Crystal."
Jay knew that Angeline and Mrs. Yorks had once gone through thick and thin together. As they were very close to each other, he said, "Go on, then." Angeline came to Mrs. Yorks' room and saw how much weight she had lost. She looked so scrawny. As soon as she saw Angeline, she tried to get up. "Aunt Crystal." Angeline sat at the foot of the bed and looked at her in distress.
Mrs. Yorks let out a wry smile when she saw Angeline. "I like it when you call me Aunt Crystal, Angeline."
There was a bitter feeling in Angeline's heart. She knew that Aunt Crystal would never forgive Uncle Spencer.
Mrs. Yorks sighed and said, "I regret it. I shouldn't have come back."
Angeline held her hand and wept. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have persuaded you."
"You're not at fault. It's Spencer. It's fate." Mrs. Yorks looked up, her eyes already filled with tears.
"I thought I was always different. But in the end, I realized that Sandra is different to him too. He buried Sandra in the Yorks' parish hall and recorded her name in the Yorks' genealogical record. Just like that, there's no longer a future between him and I."
Chapter 2095
Chapter 2095
Mrs. Yorks looked extremely desolated. "Angeline, there's only one thing I ask of you. If I leave, I want you to scatter my ashes in a river. Famous rivers or mountains are fine, just don't place me in the Yorks'
land. I don't want to have anything to do with the Yorks."
Angeline let out a grievous cry. "Don't say things like that, Aunt Crystal. You'll be okay. You'll get better soon."
Angeline's cries drew Jay and Spencer's attention. When they entered the room, Angeline threw herself into Jay's arms and cried her heart out.
"Aunt Crystal is..."
Spencer staggered when he heard how Angeline was addressing Mrs. Yorks.
Spencer was a big old man, and in his opinion, now that Sandra had died, their once beautiful memories and grievances were also gone with the wind.
Spencer knew from the way Angeline addressed Mrs. Yorks as Aunt Crystal that the woman was mad at him again.
Spencer sighed and said sorrowfully, "Darling, Sandra i s dead. Why are you fussing over things with a dead
person?"
Mrs. Yorks closed her eyes and made no reply to Spencer's question.
Spencer had previously thought that she was just unwell so she was not in the mood to talk. Now, he realized that Mrs. Yorks was mad at him.
He felt greatly wronged. "What did I do wrong, darling?"
Mrs. Yorks said wearily, "You should go out. I'm tired."
However, she was only asking Spencer to go out, not everyone else. It was clear that she was against Spencer. Just like that, Spencer felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
"What did I do wrong, darling? Tell me. I know, are you blaming me for giving Sandra a grand burial ceremony? Or are you blaming me for recording Sandra in our genealogical record? Or perhaps... you're blaming me for burying her with the title as my wife?"
Spencer thought for a very long time. While feeling troubled, he said, "She cut off all ties with the Davises because of me. Now that she's dead, she'll turn into a lonely soul if the Yorks don't take her in. She saved my life and I can't bring myself to treat her like that..."
Mrs. Yorks finally looked up at Spencer, though her gaze was incomparably bleak and in despair.
"Spencer, if you can't bear having her turn into a lonely soul, let me take her place and become one."
She was clearly furious and intended to scream at his face. She wanted to ask him if he remembered that she had abandoned her parents and luxurious life as well.
However, Mrs. Yorks merely let out a bitter laugh weakly.
Spencer was dumbfounded by her decisiveness.
He had finally gotten the chance to spend the last days of his life peacefully and thought that he could grow old with her, but he did not expect that he would chill her heart once more.
He naively thought that they would not argue anymore now that they were old and that he was just destined to live a life of regret.
He had overlooked Mrs. Yorks' determination.
"You're sick, darling. You should recuperate now. Don't get angry at a dead person," Spencer said helplessly.
What he did not know was that Sandra's death had been the last straw for Mrs. Yorks.
Sandra was gone, and when she left, she had brought with her Spencer's love as well. Mrs. Yorks realized that she had always been the loser.
"Let's get a divorce, Spencer."
Mrs. Yorks suddenly said in a weak voice.
Spencer was petrified.
"Do you know what you're saying, darling?"
Chapter 2096
Chapter 2096
Chloe persuaded her as well, asking, "Why bother, Crystal?"
Mrs. Yorks said, "I've made up my mind. Don't persuade me anymore. From today onward, Spencer, you and I are strangers and we will leave our fates to heaven. You don't have to come and see me anymore. We will have no dealings with each other no matter if we're dead or alive."
Having said that, she opened the side drawer with trembling hands and pulled out a letter written in her own blood. She handed it to Spencer.
She did not even bother to say anything and closed her eyes, no longer showing any more reactions.
Spencer looked at the letter written in blood and read the firm, unrelenting words: [I, Crystal Sullivan, am voluntarily withdrawing from the Yorks family because I have divorced Spencer Yorks. When I die, m y best friend, Angeline Severe, will take care of my funeral arrangements. I have no home to return to, nor can I return to my in-laws' place. I am adrift and homeless. My body will be cremated and my ashes will be carried along by the tide.]
When Spencer read the decisive letter, he burst into tears on the spot. "Are you really going to be so cruel?"
Mrs. Yorks pulled the blanket over her body.
At this moment, the servant walked over and complained with a cry, "Mrs. Yorks hasn't eaten for a day. I thought she didn't have an appetite but now it seems like she's intentionally going on a hunger strike." Spencer was even more heartbroken when he heard the news.
At this moment, Spencer was not the only one who was breaking down emotionally-even Grand Old Master Yorks and Chloe were having an emotional breakdown as well. They did not know that they would hurt Mrs. Yorks so deeply for thinking kindly about Sandra after she died.
Angeline knew that Mrs. Yorks had a tough character and it would be difficult to change her mind once she had made a decision. Seeing how she was determined to die and her strong resistance against the Yorks, she grew sorrowful as well.
Angeline said to Spencer, "You should all go out, Uncle Spencer. Let me talk to her."
Spencer looked at Mrs. Yorks' ashen face and then at the door. His feet were heavy as lead because he knew that he might never have the chance to step into this room ever again once he walked out. Mrs. Yorks was determined to cut off all ties with him and she would keep her word. Just like when she was younger, she had moved into the parish hall and lived there for decades.
Spencer did not want his relationship with Mrs. Yorks to end this way, so he got down to his knees before the bed while trembling. His tears started pouring down his cheeks as he repented. "Darling, we're both old now. Don't take everything too seriously because you will only hurt yourself that way."
His gesture had everyone in the room sighing with emotions.
In Yorks Stronghold, men did not kneel. In Grand Old Master Yorks' opinion, Spencer was showing the greatest form of sincerity by apologizing like this.
They thought that Mrs. Yorks would change her mind this time.
However, Mrs. Yorks unexpectedly continued to lie on the bed without moving an inch no matter how hard Spencer begged her.
Angeline said sadly, "Uncle Spencer, it's no use no matter what you do. Aunt Crystal's grief is too great."
Jay said, "Grandpa, Mom, let's go out. Aunt Crystal needs some time alone."
Jay had always supported Angeline no matter what she did. Angeline was addressing Mrs. Yorks as Aunt Crystal out of respect, hence Jay did the same by calling her Aunt Crystal as well.
Chloe stared dazedly at Jay, her expression becoming dull. After letting out a sigh, she helped Grand Old Master Yorks out of the room.
Grand Old Master Yorks consoled Spencer, saying, " Don't be too hard on yourself. Crystal isn't going to have a fit at this age for long. Apologize to her after a few days when she has calmed down and she'll forgive you."
Spencer thought about it and agreed with what his father said. Mrs. Yorks was old and had nowhere to g o. She was just mad because he had given Sandra a grand burial as his wife.
Spencer thought that there was no need for a living person to kick up a fuss over matters like that with a dead person. When Mrs. Yorks had thought it through after a few days and her anger subsided, this dispute would be over.
Chapter 2098
Chapter 2098
Spencer's body trembled like a leaf. He was unsure whether it was due to fear or anger.
The servant continued talking, "Madam also said that she hopes that the Yorks bloodline will end with you."
Spencer's face turned blue...
'How could she be so resolute and ruthless to me? She must hate me so much...'
Grand Old Master Yorks valued the longevity of the Yorks' bloodline and the number of their descendants. He was furious when he heard what the servant said.
"She... She... Even if she hates the Yorks family, she shouldn't curse her own son! Why is she so cruel and vicious?"
Cole faintly said, "Grandpa, it's not my mother who is cruel and vicious. It's the Yorks family. My mother has only ever had one wish-to marry someone and grow old with him. My dad married her and immediately forgot the promise he made to her. He messed around and pissed my mother off so much that she moved into the parish hall."
Whenever Cole talked about his parents' relationship, his expression turned dark.
He continued, "If my father had truly cherished my
mother, he wouldn't have been involved with those women. Dad, after so many years, my mother finally forgave you for me and Dawn. However, you decided to make Sandra your wife instead. How ridiculous is this? Her whole life, she has hated those women who rob others of their husbands. She never dreamed that she would be demoted to a mistress by the man she loved the most. How could she not be furious?"
A look of guilt appeared on Spencer's face as he uttered, "I made a rash decision because I felt bad for Sandra..."
"Hmph, it's more than that. You have feelings for Sandra. You keep saying that you love my mother, but you don't love her as much as you think you do. You have never treated her right. I pity my mother. She wanted a love that could last forever but unfortunately, she met you."
Spencer staggered.
This was the first time that Cole had shared his opinion on the matter. It turned out that he also resented Spencer.
Cole let out a sigh. He then turned his head to Grand Old Master Yorks and said, "I've decided, Sir Ares and I will go to Sacred Land to look for Blood Lily."
From his frustrated expression, it was obvious that he was just trying to escape from the happenings at home.
At this moment, Angeline appeared while feeling guilty and looking upset.
Jay immediately stood up.
Angeline walked straight to Spencer and said, "When you made Sandra your wife, did you ever think about how Aunt Crystal, your lawfully wedded wife, would feel about it?"
Spencer appeared guilty and replied, "I didn't put much thought into it at that time."
"Aunt Crystal will never be your mistress, do you understand that?" Angelina's voice was gentle, but she sounded sad.
Spencer nodded.
Looking back, he knew now it had been inappropriate of him to hold a big funeral for Sandra. He was an insensitive man. Although he acknowledged that he had done something wrong, he did not think that it was that big of a deal.
He did not realize it was Mrs. Yorks' last attempt to save the marriage.
Angeline said, "Since Sandra is your wife and Aunt Crystal is unwilling to be your mistress, how are you planning to resolve this, Uncle Spencer?" Spencer was dazed.
Yes, how would he solve the problem?
"Crys is my wife, you can tell her to relax," Spencer answered.
Angeline said, "Are you going to tear down Sandra's tombstone and have it recarved?"
"That would be disrespectful to the deceased." Spencer quickly waved his hand and refused Angeline's suggestion.
Chapter 2099
Chapter 2099
"In that case, are you planning on having two wives?" Angeline reminded him, "Aunt Crystal will never agree to it." Spencer felt cornered.
"Why does she insist on making things difficult for me?"
Angeline sighed weakly and said, "Uncle Spencer, I'm sorry. You still failed to cherish the last chance Aunt Crystal gave you."
Spencer was dumbfounded. "What do you mean?"
Just as he spoke, Mrs. Yorks walked out. Her hair was in an updo and she looked elegant in an evening dress. However, her expression was desolate.
Everyone present had their attention on her. Mrs.
Yorks walked up to Cole, looked at him, and said in a gentle tone, "I'm sorry, Cole. I never wanted to make you uncomfortable, but you have to make a choice now. I chose to stay in Yorks Stronghold for so long because I didn't want to force you. However, it's time for you to make a choice."
The crowd was confused about what Mrs. Yorks was referring to. Before Mrs. Yorks said anything else, Cole blurted out, "If you choose to divorce Dad, I'm with you.
Mrs. Yorks smiled and said, "Very good. What do you think about changing your last name to Sullivan?"
Cole nodded. "Okay."
Spencer stared in horror. It was unbelievable that Mrs. Yorks was so determined to end the Yorks' bloodline. He felt heartbroken and snarled at her, saying, "Are you retaliating against me?" Mrs. Yorks didn't even look at him. In her heart, Spencer was just a random passerby now.
Grand Old Master Yorks' heart ached. His hands trembled and he kept repeating to Spencer, "You can't let them go. Spencer, you can't let them go, or our family will be gone."
Spencer ran up to Mrs. Yorks, knelt down again, and said with a face full of tears, "Crys, please forgive me. I'll do anything for you..."
Mrs. Yorks gently pushed his hand away and said," Don't bother me ever again. I don't want to meet you in my next life."
Spencer's hand dropped weakly.
After Mrs. Yorks made her peace, she walked out the door without looking back. Carson went after Cole and said, "Master, Master, am I coming with you?" Cole pushed him away and said, "I'm no longer the young master of the Yorks family. I've changed my last name to Sullivan. I don't have the money to pay you anymore."
Grand Old Master Yorks called out sadly, "Cole, don't g o..."
Cole looked back at Grand Old Master Yorks and said," Grandpa, I've told you, the Yorks have sinned too much and there will be retribution."
Grand Old Master Yorks spat out blood and fainted on the ground.
Chloe panicked and shouted, "Dad!"
Angeline looked at the messy situation and then looked at Jay guiltily. If it were not for her decision to persuade Aunt Crystal to stand up for herself, maybe this would not have happened. "I'm sorry, Mom," Angeline felt guilty and said to Chloe.
Chloe said in a daze, "I can't blame you for this. If you hadn't said anything, Crystal would continue to suffer. You showed her that she had a choice. After all, this is our fault. If she's happy, I'm happy." Angeline said, "Mom, I'm afraid Aunt Crystal won't come back."
Chloe was startled and then said, "I guess so too."
The children playing outside could tell that something big was happening in the Yorks family.
Chapter 2100
Chapter 2100
Jenson and Baby Robbie took Angel for a walk in the courtyard. When they saw Mrs. Yorks and Cole Yorks leaving with sad faces, Baby Robbie shook his head and sighed. "I knew something was going to happen the moment Granduncle Spencer wanted to have a big funeral for Sandra."
Jenson's face sank, and he said in a very uneasy tone," Sandra has been dead for so long but Grandma Crystal only chose to take action today. I'm afraid this is Mommy's doing."
Baby Robbie laughed and said, "Grandma Crystal has been in bed for so long. It must've been Mommy who persuaded her to stop wasting her time pretending to be sick. Instead, she told Grandma Crystal to be a fighter. The Yorks family had it coming."
Jenson glanced at Baby Robbie with a cheeky smile on his face. "Aren't you afraid that the bandits of the Yorks family will be upset with Mommy?"
Baby Robbie took out the Yorks family's seal and said, "With this, they would never dare retaliate against Mommy."
Jenson shook his head.
Baby Robbie did not understand that emotions were
rarely rational.
Jay felt defeated as he headed home with his family.
Angeline felt a little guilty, so she kept quiet the entire way.
Angel sat on Jay's shoulders and asked him in a hushed voice, "Daddy, why is Mommy upset?"
"Your mommy didn't think about the consequences and caused a boo-boo," Jay said.
Angeline was stunned and stopped in her tracks. She looked at Jay angrily and said, "Do you think I did something wrong?"
The Yorks family had been torn apart, and Jay, the grandson of the Yorks family, was reasonably upset.
"Angeline, you should've discussed it with me before doing this," Jay said vaguely.
Angeline exclaimed, "What is there to discuss? Didn't you see how heartbroken Aunt Crystal was? She wanted to die by starving herself."
"Still, you shouldn't have persuaded her to retaliate against the Yorks family," Jay said.
Angeline put her hands on her hips and went all out." I did what I did. What are you going to do about it?"
Jay smiled and said, "You're my wife, of course, I'll support you. However, if you're being honest with yourself, do you feel happier after doing this?"
Angeline stared at him angrily and said, "I didn't do anything wrong. It was the Yorks family who bullied Aunt Crystal, and your uncle isn't a loyal man. You're not distinguishing between right and wrong and blindly siding with your family. I'm very disappointed in you."
Jay was speechless.
He reluctantly opened his mouth to say, "Angeline, I'm not purely speaking for them, but I just don't think it was worth it. Look, the Yorks family has been torn apart and you're not happy. Cole has no future after leaving the Yorks family..."
Women were not as sensible as men, and Jay was a businessman. He never made investments that resulted in a loss. Angeline, on the other hand, was emotional and prioritized love.
Angeline got angrier with Jay's rebuttal. She angrily said, "If you continue talking, I'll learn from Yasmin Cohen and cut contact with you." After speaking, Angeline left angrily.
Jay said angrily, "What's the big deal, why do you have to..."
Baby Robbie hurriedly covered Jay's mouth and said nervously, "Please stop, Daddy."
"Who is Yasmin Cohen?" Jay asked Baby Robbie.
"A female author from the 80s. Her husband, Zion Langdon, married someone else so she left with their two children and the baby in her womb. Since then, the two never saw each other again, but they had some correspondence between them in their later years. Despite having many chances to meet her husband again, Yasmin Cohen chose to avoid him. They did not meet even until taking their last breaths. Mr. Zion Langdon regretted his decision his entire life.
