Ch. 611..620

Chapter 611

Jay sneered arrogantly, "Sera, you'd better not disappoint me."

Sera was dumbfounded.

She had initially thought that Jay's arrogance would be subdued since he was crippled and he would change his bad temper.

His arrogance had unexpectedly gotten even worse.

"Master Ares, who gave you the confidence to be this arrogant? You're just a cripple." Sera's gaze landed on his legs once again. An outraged and ferocious expression from her unrequited love appeared on her face.

Jay's hawk eyes narrowed a little.

Sera had completely provoked his anger!

When he was about to release his thunderous wrath, a loud slap was suddenly heard in the air.

Five fingerprints appeared on Sera's face instantly.

Jay looked up and saw Josephine looking at Sera in disdain. Josephine scolded, "Is a depraved woman like yourself even worthy of being involved with my brother?"

Sera covered her face in anger. "Josephine Ares, you dare hit me?"

Josephine smiled and said, "I've already hit you. You should be hit!"

Sera glared at them with blood-red eyes. "I'm pregnant with your younger sibling. Aren't you worried that something will happen to your younger sibling? I think your dad will abhor you for murdering his own son, you-"

"Sera Severe," Before the word 'adopted daughter' was said, Jay roared suddenly.

Sera trembled with fright. She did not think that even if Jay was disabled, his aura would be so terrifying.

"If you don't want to be a corpse with two lives lost, then get lost right away!"

Sera did not dare to continue acting up and left with her tail between her legs.

Josephine made a face at her clumsy body. "She should take a look at herself in the mirror. She's an ugly duckling, but she still wants my brother."

Sera clenched her fists under her sleeves when she heard Josephine's voice.

Jay and Josephine had not seen each other for a long time. Who knew that this meeting would end up with Jay being bullied by Sera while he was in a wheelchair? This scene made Josephine very sad. Josephine pushed Jay's wheelchair away from the lotus pond. Josephine spoke sentimentally along the way, "Big Brother, now that your legs have trouble moving, you're bound to be discriminated against by the snobs in the Ares family. If anyone bullies you, you have to tell me. I'll help you out."

Jay said, "Okay."

Josephine then said, "Big Brother, don't be sad. One day, Sister-in-law will return. With my smart sister-in-law by your side, you'll definitely not be bullied. Also, Jens and the rest will grow up eventually. The children are getting sharper. Fragrant Vessel Court will soon rise again."

Jay was being treated like a greenhouse flower by Josephine, his expression very difficult to describe.

Yet, he was secretly moved on the inside.

He was a little moved that his scum parents had at least given him an innocent and kind sister.

After Angeline handled the orchid, she ran out looking for Jay.

Tourmaline Estate was so big that it took a long time to find him.

Thinking of his inconvenience and that the Ares family possessed many monsters and demons, she feared that something might happen to him. She got s o scared that she broke out in a cold sweat out along the way.

Seeing Josephine pushing Jay toward her, Angeline breathed out a sigh of relief.

Josephine saw Angeline, who was wearing a face mask from afar, and really regarded her as Jay's personal caretaker. She scorned her from afar.

"I say, what are you doing as a caretaker? How could you let the patient wander around alone? What if he encounters danger?"

Chapter 612

Chapter 612

Angeline said with a grievance, "Sir Ares, you had me take care of the orchid, and yet you went out for a stroll instead. I don't have the ability to duplicate myself. Next time, I hope you don't leave my sight." Seeing her accusing her big brother, Josephine was surprised and angry. "You, a little caretaker, have the nerve to accuse Sir Ares of being in the wrong? I think you don't want to work anymore, yes?"

Angeline looked at the aggressive Josephine. She did not want to become enemies with her best sister in the past, so she simply shut her mouth.

Josephine rattled on, "Little caretaker, seeing that it's your first offense today, I'll forgive you. If you slack one more time, I definitely won't spare you."

Angeline dropped her head and was schooled silently.

"Big Brother, your caretaker's attitude is really arrogant. Why did you choose her to be your personal caretaker?" Josephine was very dissatisfied with Angeline's dereliction of her duties. Angeline also seemed very curious about this question, so she looked at Jay.

Jay said indifferently, "She's my employee. Harming other guests would make Grand Asia seem insincere."

The implication of his words was that since it was his

own employee, it was more appropriate to keep the harm on him.

Angeline,

"Big Brother, why do you aggrieve yourself so much? Since you think that she's incompetent, then I'll call the shots and fire her."

Angeline's legs trembled and she almost knelt to the ground.

Why did everyone in Tourmaline Estate want to drive her out?

Was she really incompatible with the environment here?

Shoot! It seemed that she had to recite some scriptures to change the magnetic field on her body.

Angeline refuted Josephine, saying, "You're not my boss. You don't have the authority to fire me."

Josephine had never seen such an emboldened employee and immediately instigated Jay. "Big Brother, are you hearing this? She simply needs to be taught a lesson. Just say the word and dismiss her!"

Jay looked at Angeline. "Josephine is right. You're arrogant and extremely rude to your boss. Plus, your services fall short. I think you don't have to come to work tomorrow onward."

Angeline said shamelessly, "I don't have to come in tomorrow, but I still have to continue working today! Sir Ares, I'll perform my duty until the last minute."

Anyway, if she could drag a second then it was one second dragged.

She believed she would find a way!

Josephine exclaimed, "I'm completely defeated by your shamelessness. How can there be such a shameless person in this world? Girl, please have more shame, okay?" 1

Angeline smiled brightly. "Second Lady, your brother told me not to come in tomorrow, but he didn't tell me to leave today. It's obviously your comprehension that's poor, so why do you blame me for being shameless?"

Josephine was speechless to the max.

Lastly, she begged Jay, "Big Brother, quickly say something. I can't stand her already."

It was very rare for Jay to see this pair of former' soulmates' disliking each other. He felt very gratified on the inside.

He could not wait for them to quarrel until the boat of their friendship overturned.

Jay said coolly, "I'll save my words." He was done with both of their attitudes.

When Josephine pushed Jay back to Tourmaline Estate, Jay purposely went to the garden to visit his orchid.

When he saw that the orchid in the flower pot was branch-planted in four flowerpots and that the one verdant orchid had now become very thin, Jay trembled in anger.

His sharp eyes moved viciously to Angeline. "Orchids with damaged roots die easily. What are you doing?"

Chapter 613

Chapter 613

Josephine wiped the cold sweat for Angeline. "This is what my sister-in-law left for my brother..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jay's sharp gaze was thrown at her again.

Josephine quickly quieted down.

Angeline immediately stepped forward and argued, saying, "Mr. Ares, don't be angry. Listen to me. It's because this bluegrass is extra delicate, that's why I transplanted them into separate pots. Now there are four pots of bluegrass and there should be one or two pots that will survive even if things don't end well.

"And... All of them might survive if you're lucky. When the time comes, who knows if the bluegrass here will then breed thousands from only one plant. Maybe by then it'd even be possible to breed a bluegrass garden..."

Josephine burst into laughter. "Breeding thousands of offspring from only one plant? Naha, Miss, aren't you being too imaginative?"

However, Jay looked soothed for some reason.

It was probably Angeline's phrase 'Breed thousands of offspring with only one plant' that successfully calmed his anger.

He said with deep meaning, "Then, you have to work

hard."

Angeline smiled and nodded. "Yes!"

She had never thought that Jay's words were reflecting themselves.

Sera staggered back to the Sycamore Annex with her pregnant belly.

Thinking of the slap Josephine gave her, Sera became angry.

She was the illegitimate daughter ever since she was a child, and her mother would always attend the school's family meetings on her own. Thus, she was looked down on by other children and everyone had called her a fatherless child. 1

Since that time, she secretly vowed that she would become stronger in this life through her own efforts and would never allow anyone to bully her again.

Even though the Severe family had declined later on and her father returned to their family, her deep-rooted thinking only became stronger. Josephine was only an adopted daughter of the Ares family. Did she really think she was the princess of the Ares family? How dare she slap her? 'Hmph.' A cold light of revenge leaked from Sera's eyes.

The tiger did not even show off its power, yet they treated her as if she was a sick cat?

As she approached the lobby, Sera suddenly squeezed out a few drops of crocodile tears. She clutched her belly deliberately and walked in with difficulty.

Jack and Grandma were drinking tea and chatting in the lobby. They saw Sera weeping at the corner of her eyes, the expression on her face looking very pained. Her hands were even covering her belly. She appeared very pitiful.

All of a sudden, the two elders became nervous. "Sera, what's wrong with you?"

Sera pretended to be weak and in pain, then she said,' I don't know. Just now, I came across Miss Josephine and she slapped me without a reason. After that, my stomach started to hurt."

Jack slammed the table and got up. "This girl Josephine has Jay backing her and has become more and more spoiled and domineering. Come, bring the second lady here. I have to discipline her."

Grandma helped Sera to sit on the carved mahogany chair and soothed her emotions. "Sera, don't be angry. It's not good for the baby."

Sera cried and said, "Madam, I have a low status and have been bullied since I was a child, so this isn't a big deal. I'm only afraid that there would be no one to discipline her, and she would treat my children in my stomach similarly in the future." 1

Jack said angrily, "Don't worry. I'll seek justice for both you mother and child."

The servants of the Sycamore Annex came to Fragrant Vessel Court and said, "Master, Old Master Jack has invited the second lady to come over."

Josephine did not doubt them and said goodbye to Jay right away, "Big Brother, I'll go now then. Take care."

Jay's face froze slightly. "Okay."

He was thinking in his heart, 'Sera's fire was really on time. Josephine's carefree and happy life might be over.

Chapter 614

Chapter 614

As soon as Josephine entered Sycamore Annex, Jack scolded Josephine angrily, "Josephine, who allowed you to do something like this to Sera?"

Josephine remained arrogant and said, "Dad, before you lose your temper at me, shouldn't you ask me why I beat her? This woman is shameless. She even tried to hook up with Big Brother, then she became ashamed and insulted Big Brother when she failed to do so.

Shouldn't she be slapped?"

"You're wrongly accusing me. How could I possibly try to hook up with your big brother? He's crippled now," Sera said.

Josephine rushed forward in extreme anger. "You dare to call my brother a cripple? I'll rip your mouth."

Jack then ordered his subordinates, "Stop the second lady."

Several subordinates immediately grabbed Josephine. Jack then walked over and slapped Josephine severely without saying anything.

Josephine looked at Jack in disbelief. "Dad, didn't you hear? This woman called Big Brother a cripple.

Instead of teaching her a lesson, you chose to beat m e? What about your fatherly love? And what about your strictness and justice, Dad? You've never hit me before." Tears rolled in her eyes.

She looked at her mother for help and said while crying bitterly, "Mom, you usually love me and Big Brother the most. What happened to you today? You're just watching Dad hit me like this and is indifferent when you heard someone insulting Big Brother. What about your mercy?"

The madam sighed. "Josephine, you should correct all these shortcomings of yours. Miss Severe is pregnant with your father's child. Even if you don't like her, you still shouldn't choose to hit her at this time. The child is innocent after all!"

Josephine was surprised by the tolerance the madam had for Sera and the child. "Mom, she wants to take Dad away. How could you be so tolerant of her?"

The madam's face was very unnatural looking." Josephine, although Miss Severe made a lot of mistakes, her child is still innocent."

The madam was voicing out the unfairness toward the fetus and the kind-hearted Josephine immediately dispelled her doubts.

"I was wrong," Josephine said.

Sera's eyes filled with a sneer.

She still did not want to officially break with Josephine. After all, she was the sister who Jay cared about most.

Sera still had a tiny hope in her heart, hoping that she and Jay could continue their relationship.

As such, Sera pretended to say, "Old Master, Madam, forget about it. I'll forgive the second lady since she has apologized."

Jack denounced Josephine, saying, "Learn from her attitude and reflect on your stinginess. How could I have raised such a worthless daughter like you?"

"Old Master." The madam winked at Jack.

Jack only then realized that it was not a good time to argue with his daughter. After all, this daughter was still very useful.

Then, he calmed his expression and said earnestly, "I didn't mean it in that way. Dad just thinks that given you're already at this age, you should either marry someone or find a job. Don't idle all day and cause trouble only."

He paused and said, "Or you could go and beg your brother, have him arrange for a relaxing job for you in Grand Asia. You should start getting some experience."

Jack was having other thoughts. He wanted to put Josephine in Grand Asia so that in the future, when he and Jay were competing, maybe this stupid daughter could even help him.

Josephine asked in a puzzled manner, "Dad, why won't you let me join Ares Enterprises? The other brothers and sisters from the other families have their own properties, so why don't I?"

A cold, fierce light appeared in Jack's eyes. He was not willing to give his adopted daughter a share of his own industry.

"Josephine, it's not that Dad is being reluctant in handing over the company to you, but it's because you don't have the ability to manage the company. If I leave it to you, I'm afraid that the company will be dragged down," Jack said sternly.

Josephine said, "Dad, if you don't give me a chance to practice, how can I grow?"

Jack was furious. "Didn't I have you go to Grand Asia to practice? Your brother is a business prodigy, so he can teach you a lot. Why don't you understand Dad's good intentions?"

Chapter 615

Chapter 615

Josephine cried and said, "Dad, Big Brother isn't my guardian. You kicked me to Big Brother like a ball and ignored me for so many years. Don't you think this is being too cruel toward me?" "Josephine, what do you mean? Are you accusing us o f not taking good care of you?" Jack roared.

Josephine was frightened by Jack's fierce aura, so she did not dare to fight with Jack. She shrunk her neck timidly and said, "Dad, that's not what I mean."

However, Jack's anger hardly disappeared. "Look at you, you used to be so rebellious. You even ruined your innocent body for a man. The reason we handed you over to your brother was that we hoped that he could lead you down the right path.

"Yet, now it seems that this was really the wrong decision. He has raised you into a good for nothing who doesn't want to improve."

This was the most humiliating and hurtful memory in Josephine's life.

Jack spoke without giving a care, causing Josephine's face to turn pale. Her entire body was trembling so badly as if all her scars and scabs were exposed relentlessly, revealing her bloody wounds. Sera smiled sarcastically after hearing the shocking news. The smile seemed to be saying, 'Josephine,

what right do you have to laugh at me? You and I are both morally corrupt women.'

As Josephine inadvertently noticed this smile of Sera's, she suddenly felt as if the world was spinning. For an instant, it seemed like the world had abandoned her.

"I don't want to hear it," Josephine covered her ears and said repeatedly.

"I don't want to hear it." She was like a helpless child who was abandoned by her close relatives. She could only plunge into the wider world.

She ran outside as if mad.

Jack watched Josephine running away, his eyes filled with viciousness and ruthlessness.

Josephine's dependence on Jay was far greater than her dependence on her parents.

He had secretly intended to instigate doubts and suspicion in Josephine and Jay's relationship. He hoped that after Josephine calmed down, she could comprehend the implications of his words. The madam had raised Josephine for a while now and felt it to be slightly unbearable to see her in such pain.

She then complained to Jack, "You're a father. You can educate her in any way, but you should not poke a t her scars."

Jack disagreed and said, "Hmph, I think this daughter is just a traitor. I've raised her for nothing."

A cold light shot out from Sera's eyes."Old Master, you shouldn't say that. Miss Josephine is beautiful and intelligent, and the men from good families have long coveted her beauty."

She paused, and her eyes suddenly turned cold. "Don't you want to cooperate with the Titus family from Swallow City? The Titus family has a son who's an excellent match for Miss Josephine. How about bringing them both together? Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Jack said, "The Titus family was originally a small family. They're merely stepping and climbing up on the shoulders of your Severe family. This was how they became the wealthiest family in Swallow City. If Josephine can get into this family, it'd be a great thing."

The madam said, "But I heard the son from the Titus family is a gambler?"

Jack then said, "Such is a woman's opinion. You don't need to care about what he does. He has a big family. It'd be fine as long as Josephine has no worries about surviving after marrying."

The madam stopped talking afterward.

Fragrant Vessel Court.

Jay was lying in bed for a nap, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at the busy figure in the side room.

Angeline was packing her clothes. Seeing this, Jay's eyes became colder and colder.

He had asked her to pack her bags and leave tomorrow, but it was just a joke. Did she really believe it?

Angeline walked out of the side room after she was ready. When she saw Jay's eyes glaring wide while looking at the ceiling with resentment, Angeline felt very puzzled.

"Mr. Ares, are you having trouble sleeping?" she walked over and asked cautiously.

Jay squinted at her, resentful. "What are you doing? How can I sleep when you're making so much noise?"

Angeline did not know his thoughts and said honestly, "I'm packing my clothes."

Jay's expressions appeared sarcastic. "So what now? You want to leave?"

Chapter 616

Chapter 616

Angeline replied smoothly, "Weren't you the one who wanted me to leave?"

Jay refuted roughly, "If you want to leave, then get to it. You're an eyesore!"

He felt himself go mad. Just because he had told her to, she would obediently follow his words? Then why had she not listened so obediently when he begged her to stay and to never leave him alone? What a difficult person to live with.

Forcing her to stay by him would only worsen his already horrible mood.

Angeline felt the corners of her eyes sour. She suddenly flopped into the chair next to the bed.

She did not want to leave at all.

To convince the president to change his mind, Angeline decided to show her special skill. "I can't leave yet, Mr. President. The situation at home isn't very good. My husband's sick and it costs a lot to pay for his medication and his care worker. Not to mention the kids... I still have to pay their school fees too. My family will be done for if you fire me."

Every smidge of despair within Jay vanished at her plea to stay.

The familiar frost in his eyes began to thaw as well.

"What's wrong with your husband?" he could not help but ask.

Angeline had never expected such a question from the ever-so reticent Jay. Stunned, she stammered, "My husband has-"

Sparing Jay's legs a glance, Angeline had an idea. "My husband can't get it up. You know what I mean, right? As in like, he can't continue his bloodline." Jay's expression immediately darkened.

Just because his legs were crippled did not mean he was crippled between them too.

Did she not understand the 'wane and wax' of life?

She had no idea how much self-restraint it cost him to see her every day.

However, Angeline only slipped deeper into character.

"Due to that, my husband's been feeling inferior and keeps suggesting for a divorce. However, I love my husband and he needs to know that I won't ever leave him no matter what." Once again, Jay felt every inch of displeasure vanish a t her 'I love my husband'.

He reached out an arm. "Help me up."

Angeline stood and supported him by the arm.

"Is there something you'd like to do, Mr. President?"

Jay stared at her. Tear tracks were still evident around the corners of her twinkling eyes, looking especially lovely.

She was absolutely delectable!

Jay gulped. "How do you know your husband can't continue his bloodline?"

Angeline's eyes fell on his legs. If even his long legs were crippled, it should be the same for the rest, right?

As if reading her thoughts, Jay spoke, "As long as a man can still think, he will only think with his d*ck. I'd suggest you satisfy your man well before he decides to look elsewhere." Angeline gulped.

He was fine?

Thus, he too...

"What would you do if you thought with your d*ck, Mr. President?"

Jay's lips twitched as he replied with a double entendre, "Aren't you my care worker? You should know what to do, right?"

Chapter 617

Chapter 617

Angeline's face turned red in embarrassment. "Sir Ares, I'm just your care worker. I'm only in charge of your daily activities." Jay's face darkened.

Angeline noticed he was unhappy and said, "Sir Ares, you want your own woman now, don't you?"

He glanced at her, and for some reason, she did not have a good feeling about this.

As expected, Angeline half-jokingly asked, "I can help you if you want a woman?"

Jay noticed the slightly menacing look in her eyes.

"Yes," Jay replied, unclear of where this was going.

He wanted to see what she would do next.

She suddenly stood up, held his hand, and placed it on her neckline.

"I can assist you, Sir Ares," she said, her eyes full of passion.

A sense of fiery rage boiled inside Jay. He pushed her hand away and scolded, "Can you be more reserved?"

Angeline's face reddened once more as she replied," Okay."

She then sat back down on the chair, innocent as a

child.

Her actions had made Jay's heart race.

He hesitated over whether it was time to end her punishment and get to know her. They would definitely have a good time right then.

At that moment, Josephine's cries could suddenly be heard. Angeline glanced at Jay for a moment before running out without giving a second thought.

Jay's face darkened once more.

She was just going to leave him there?

It was obvious she cared a lot about Josephine.

He picked up the bell underneath his pillow and vigorously shook it.

Angeline turned back. Jay angrily asked, "Why are you so concerned about my crying sister?"

It was then when Angeline remembered she still had her mask on. Her identity had not yet been revealed. Running out like this, Josephine might not recognize her and accept her good intentions. "Sir Ares, I'm just a warm-hearted person who can't bear to hear anyone cry, especially not a sweet girl like Josephine," she explained.

Jay's dark expression deepened.

Why was it that he felt a thick sense of homosexuality from the tone of her voice?

"Help me up," Jay ordered unhappily.

Angeline hurriedly carried him to the wheelchair and pushed him outside.

The three cute babies heard their aunt crying and had gone downstairs to check on her.

"Aunty, who bullied you? Why are you crying?" Baby Zetty asked while wiping her tears away.

Jenson said, "Aren't you normally a strong person? It's embarrassing to get bullied and cry like this."

Baby Robbie said warmly, "Aunty, crying won't fix anything. Tell us who messed with you and we'll help you get back at them."

Josephine raised her tear-filled face and replied through her sobs, "It... It's... Your grandpa..."

The moment the three cute babies heard that it was their grandpa, they quickly tried to divert the topic.

"That's your family's problem. I'm just an outsider, so I shouldn't intervene," Jenson said.

Baby Zetty felt bad for her and said, "Aunty, fights between fathers and daughters don't last long."

Baby Robbie said, "I'm just a child, so I don't understand grown-up stuff."

Josephine sobbed, saying, "You heartless children. I thought you said you were going to help me." Baby Robbie replied, "Surely we can't help you go against Old Master Ares?"

Chapter 618

Chapter 618

Then, the three cute babies turned around and ran back upstairs.

Josephine cried, saying, "I'm not asking the three of you to take revenge on my father, but you could help me take revenge on that vixen."

In order to increase their rage toward Sera, she added, "You three don't know how much she's crossed the line. She even called your daddy a cripple."

When they heard this, the three cute babies stopped in their tracks.

Baby Robbie turned back and said spiritedly, "Aunty, you've always cared so much about us, so we can't just do nothing while you get bullied. Tell us, how do you want that vixen to die?"

Baby Zetty stood beside Baby Robbie, saying while fuming, "Aunty, I'll help you tear off that vixen's skin."

Jenson looked at Baby Robbie and Baby Zeety who were both seething with rage. He then said, "I support both of you."

Josephine stopped crying and chuckled. "That's more like it."

Angeline was pushing Jay who was in his wheelchair and stopped somewhere not too far away.

When Babby Robbie saw his daddy, he let go of his

clenched fist. He said, "Daddy! Aunty was bullied by that vixen, so we're thinking about whether we should help her out."

Before Jay could say anything, Angeline could be heard saying through clenched teeth, "Of course, why shouldn't you help her?"

Everyone's eyes fell on her. Why was this care worker more enraged than they were?

It was none of her business.

Angeline placed her hands on her hips. She was filled with anger as she said, "She even had the decency to call your daddy a cripple. Babby Robbie, make sure she won't be able to even move after you're done with her. I want her to suffer."

Jay looked at her and said, "Don't teach my son that violent behavior."

Angeline came to her senses. "Yes, children are the future of the country. You shouldn't be fighting."

Jay only had time to heave a single sigh before hearing Angeline announce, "Baby Robbie, since you can't go, I'll go."

With the determination of a soldier, she started walking away in a rage.

"Stand there," Jay commanded.

She never listened to him even when she was younger. She continued her path and was soon out of sight.

Josephine looked at her brother's darkened face, baffled.

"Brother, I think your prestige has started to drop.

How is it that more and more women aren't listening to you anymore?"

Jay stared daggers at her and she quickly shut her mouth. She whispered in her heart, 'Surely his prestige hasn't dropped one bit?'

Jay looked outside toward the figure that was getting increasingly smaller. His eyes were full of worry." Josephine, push me over there."

"To where?" she asked.

"Sycamore Annex," he replied.

That was strange. Was he worried about that care worker?

"The three of you, stay here," Jay ordered.

If the three little devils were to follow, they would tear Sycamore Annex to shreds together with Angeline.

"Okay," they replied.

Once Angeline arrived at Sycamore Annex, she followed a servant while angrily ordering, "Get Old Master Ares's little mistress. Tell her I'm looking for her."

The servant sized her up. Judging from her behavior, she seemed to be somebody of high social status, but the mask she was wearing added a layer of mystery to

her.

"Who are you?" asked the servant.

"Who cares who I am?! Just get her for me." Angeline raised her fist.

Coincidentally, Sera Severe walked out with her pregnant belly with some servants next to her at that moment. The servants were holding a plate, feeding her fruits whenever she wanted. Her demeanor was even more arrogant than a queen's.

The servant called out, "Miss Severe, this lady is requesting to see you."

Angeline saw Sera and was bewildered.

It was her half-sister?

 

Chapter 619

Chapter 619

Sera walked toward Angeline, sized her up, and immediately gasped in shock.

She looked really familiar.

Sera said, tongue-tied, "Are you... Angeline Severe?"

Before she could answer, Sera laughed it off and said, " No, you're not Angeline. Angeline's dead. Are you...

Rose?"

Angeline looked at her in silence.

Sera put her hand forward and touched the parts of her face that were not covered by her mask. She said," You got plastic surgery to look like my sister. You really do look like her."

Angeline pushed her hand away and said, "Don't touch me."

Sera was put in an awkward position by her actions. That awkwardness soon turned into anger. "Rose Doyle, who do you think you are? You're just the Doyle family's ignorant little illegitimate daughter. You think too highly of yourself."

After she was done speaking, she rubbed her hand. At least she managed to get back at her.

Angeline moved her eyes toward Sera's pregnant belly and asked in surprise, "Who's the father?"

Sera stared at her with her eyes full of hatred and replied, "It's none of your business."

The child she was pregnant with was her disgrace. If it were not to get revenge on Jay, she would have aborted the baby already.

Angeline laughed softly and said, "It's Jack Ares'?"

Sera was taken aback at this. It was of her impression that Rose Loyle was like her, a humble girl. When facing the Ares family which was of high social status, she treated even the people of the lowest ranks with the utmost respect. Yet, she had just referred to Jack Ares by his full name.

On top of that, the tone of her voice was filled with contempt. It was the voice of someone arrogant.

"Who are you, actually?" Sera asked in resentment.

Angeline took off her mask and smiled, "Don't you recognize your own sister?"

She then slowly put her mask back on.

Sera staggered slightly.

She thought Rose had plastic surgery to look like her sister. She definitely seemed to have her charm. It did not cross her mind that her demeanor and her facial features were all exactly like her sister's too. More importantly, there were no traces of plastic surgery scars on her face.

She could only be Angeline Severe. There was not a single trace of Rose within her.

"You're... You're... Angeline?" Sera was now sure she could not be anyone else but Angeline because the girl in front of her was everything she remembered about Angeline.

Angeline said, "Sera, you really are just an illegitimate daughter of the Severe family. Only you would have the dignity to become someone's little mistress in order to gain power."

It had been a long time since Sera had been disrespected like this. "Angeline Severe, where are your manners?" she said.

The Angeline she knew was always really polite and respectful. She even always put on a bright smile.

Angeline replied, "I'll never respect you again."

Sera was puzzled. How had she wronged this warmhearted sister of hers?

Angeline said in anger, "Sera, you know that Jaybie means everything to me. If you don't respect him, it means you've made an enemy of me. Throughout my life, I've never had any wild ambitions. Taking care of him is my only wild ambition."

Sera finally understood what was going on and said, "So you're avenging him. The former Master Ares now needs a weak girl to protect him. If that's not pathetic, I don't know what is." She looked at Angeline provocatively.

She was confident now that she was under the protection of the Ares family, Angeline would not dare lay a hand on her.

Angeline's face darkened. "Sera Severe, you could've chosen peace, and yet you've chosen war." She then lifted Sera's face up by her chin and proceeded to slap her over ten times.

Chapter 620

Everyone who witnessed the scene was momentarily stunned.

Sera angrily shouted, "Why are you all just looking? Get her!"

A group of servants stormed toward them. Angeline's knocked them all down with a sweeping kick.

Sera placed both of her hands on her face which was burning with pain. "You dare hit me?"

"Go! Go get that old man who's supporting you," Angeline said while fiddling her fingernails.

She emphasized the words 'old man', trampling the arrogance within Sera's heart.

Sera's face reddened.

"You just wait, Angeline Severe," she said in a rage.

"I'm waiting. If you don't go and get Jack Ares, I'll be on my way out," she replied.

Sera glared at her with a poisonous stare.

Angeline knew her sister well. She valued her dignity too much to go and get someone to help her. Although this might not be true in private.

After punishing Sera, Angeline turned around and started to walk away.

That was when she saw an enraged Jack Ares standing right behind her.

"Angeline Severe, who gave you the nerve to come to my place and cause all this commotion," Jack said while barely containing his anger.

She chuckled, "Old Master Ares, you know who I'm with."

"Does Jay want to declare war?"

Angeline asked, "Old Master Ares, would you be angry if I called you a cripple?"

Jack's body shook with anger. "You dare call me a cripple? Drag her outside and beat her to death!"

Angeline laughed. "Old Master Ares, you'd want me beaten to death if I called you crippled. Sera here called your son a cripple, why aren't you beating her to death?" Jack was rendered speechless.

However, Jack used his 'my place, my rules' mentality and ignored Angeline regardless of the good point she made. He ordered his servants, "Why are you all still standing around?" Sera let out a sneer. "You asked for it, Angeline."

Angeline was surrounded but still managed to laugh contemptuously. "The people of Sycamore Annex only know how to laze around all day. Why would I be afraid?"

Jack was aware he was included in Angeline's insult. He nearly exploded in anger.

"Angeline Severe, I want you to pay for your actions. Get her, beat her to death!"

She was unfazed by his anger and laughed even louder.

"Old Master Ares, you better get your little mistress under control or else it won't be long before Sycamore Annex is plunged into chaos."

Being referred to as a 'little mistress' triggered Sera even more. She said through gritted teeth, "You're asking for death Angeline."

Jack shouted in anger, "Get her already!"

All the guards were eager to launch their attack.

Suddenly...

"Father!" A low voice could be heard from afar.

Josephine was pushing Jay toward them.

The guards were distracted by this sudden change of events and stood there frozen in their movements.
