Ch. 721..730
Chapter 721
The expression on Jay's handsome face immediately turned into a furious one.
How dare she worship celebrities behind his back?
Jay looked at how his son was dressed and no longer thought that he looked dashingly adorable. Instead, he seemed to be in the way. He did not give his two sons any mercy as he said, "Ugly." Jenson rolled his eyes in frustration at Baby Robbie. In an accusatory tone, he said, "No one asked you to talk so much."
Baby Robbie felt aggrieved. How was he to know that Daddy was so against Mommy's idols?
Then, angered, Baby Robbie teased his dad. "No manners at all."
Jay was ready to slap his sons. With a ferocious expression on his face, he ordered, "All of you stay at home. Daddy will bring Mommy home."
"I bet that Mommy won't come home if you don't bring us along," Baby Robbie said.
"Don't jinx it," Jenson said, before taking his leave discreetly.
Baby Robbie continued giving suggestions. "Daddy, there's only one way to get Mommy's forgiveness. You've got to pretend you're miserable."
Baby Zetty nodded in agreement. "Once Mommy's heart softens, she'll forgive you."
Jay was speechless at his children's ideas. He had always been stubborn, and there was no way he would pretend to be miserable to make a woman happy. He felt embarrassed even thinking about it. "Go revise. Your tutor is about to arrive. Remember to study hard."
"Okay," the children replied listlessly.
Storm wheeled Jay away.
Jay sat in the Rolls-Royce and turned his head sideways to look out of the window. His noble, chiseled features were not coated with their usual frostiness. Joy blossomed in his heart at the thought of Angeline's safe return, and the thought that he would soon be able to see her.
His phone rang. It was a call from Grayson. Jay excitedly took the call.
On the other end, Grayson said anxiously, "Mr. Ares, Sean Bell wants to breach our contract. According to the contract, they're willing to pay the high fee required to breach the contract. I've investigated, and this is the work of Jack Ares. They're teaming up to besiege us so that Grand Asia does not have any parts to use. Mr. Ares, what should we do?"
Jay's brows knitted together tightly. "What he's doing doesn't benefit either party."
Grayson said analytically, "Yes, Bell Enterprise would be in a financial crisis if they were to pay such a large amount of money to us. However, they've become allies with Ares Enterprises and Titus Enterprise. No doubt the Ares family will help them get through these difficult times. Right now, we're isolated!"
Jay suddenly changed his mind. "Storm, take me to Bell Enterprise."
When Storm pulled up with Jay in front of Bell Enterprise's center building, Sean Bell refused to meet Jay.
Sean's secretary said apologetically to Jay, "Master Ares, I'm sorry, the president has gone out on business. I'll be sure to relay your message to him when he returns."
Storm received Grayson's message and whispered to Jay, "Mr. Ares, Sean Bell is entertaining guests inside. He has not gone out."
Jay's eyes turned frosty. "Storm, let's break in."
Wheeling Jay along in his wheelchair, Storm walked straight toward the president's office.
Sweating profusely, the secretary spread out her arms to block their way. "Master Ares, you cannot enter."
Storm said lowly, "If you're afraid that Sean Bell will fire you, aren't you afraid that Master Ares will vanquish any traces of your entire family from Imperial Capital?" The secretary's legs shook in fear as she fell against the wall.
Storm kicked down the president's office door. Angeline and Sean, who had been talking to each other, both directed their gaze toward the door at the same time. When he saw Angeline, Jay froze in his wheelchair.
After a moment of disorientation, Angeline removed her gaze from Jay and smiled at Sean as she said softly, "Sean, since you have guests, I'll be taking my leave."
Jay stared dumbfoundedly at her. Her gaze refused to linger on him, and she was in such a hurry to leave when she saw him. Her attitude toward him was no longer the cheerful, friendly one it once was. The glimmer in Jay's eyes dimmed.
Chapter 722
Chapter 722
Angeline packed up the documents on the desk, then held the folder with her left hand and walked toward the door. Jay's wheelchair was blocking the door.
His eyes never moved away from her figure while Angeline remained indifferent. "Please move," she said to Jay politely.
Jay looked at her directly. His dark eyes were filled with intense unwillingness.
How did Angeline and he get to this point?
They were worse than strangers.
His gaze then fell on her bandaged arm, and no emotions could be heard in his tone of voice when he asked, "Is your arm okay?"
Angeline smiled calmly and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Sir Ares. It's not a big problem for me."
She was calling him 'Sir Ares' again.
She called him that way when their relationship was a t its worst.
Angelina's face was stern and cold, but she was not as calm as she looked.
After Jay got his haircut, he had a fresher look. His
flowy black hair fit well with his palm-sized face. It made his star and moon-like eyes look like a clean and distinct painting.
He just sat there without speaking. He was like a dazzling luminous figure that made it impossible for people to look away.
He was electrifying and mesmerizing.
Angeline kept telling herself that the handsome guy was toxic and she should not think about him.
When their eyes met, there was no longer the affection from the past. Angeline always showed her innocent side when she was with him before, but that day, she became very mature and calm. She was like a child who had matured overnight by a catalyst.
"Must we always be this way?" he finally asked quietly after not being able to stand her cold attitude anymore.
Angeline curled up her lips and smiled self-deprecatingly. "Forgive me, Sir Ares. I was ignorant before and bothered you too much. I shouldn't have taken advantage of your kindness. Don't worry, I won't pester you in the future."
Jay's heart was aching.
After Angeline finished speaking, she squeezed out through the narrow slit sideways. She did not want to stay with Jay for a moment longer.
Jay closed his eyes and sighed. That girl was hurt
badly by him.
"Storm, catch up to her," Jay said.
Storm understood, turned the wheelchair around, and immediately chased after her.
As if expecting that he would catch up, Angeline sped up and pressed the elevator quickly.
While she waited for the elevator, Jay already caught up to her.
When the elevator door opened, Angeline stepped aside as if to let a path for him and to show that she was not going to go in.
She did not want to be in the same elevator as him.
Jay's heart was as cold as ice. He did not expect that the woman would become so impenetrable after severing their relationship. "Go in," he said to Storm.
He did not want his dignity to be trampled in the dust by that cruel girl.
Storm wheeled the wheelchair into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.
After the elevator closed and moved downward, Angelina's cold disguise broke open and tears accumulated in her eyes.
Chapter 723
Chapter 723
Sean walked over while Angeline was waiting for the next elevator.
Angeline said stiffly, "I know you've been conspiring with Jack. Have you ever wondered what price Bell Enterprise will have to pay for treachery after Master Ares' company reemerges on top?"
Sean smiled and said, "Ms. Severe, doing business is like being on a battlefield. It's either you die or I die. Grand Asia has monopolized the market for many years and made other companies only able to survive by the cracks. He should have seen this day coming. And I think that Grand Asia has one thing in common with his legs. Both of them will never be able to stand up again."
Angeline looked at Sean's elegant and gentle face before she suddenly chuckled. "Sean, I heard that the reason you're able to stand firmly in Bell Enterprise is solely because of Master Ares' help to get rid of Stanley Bell. Is this how you return his favor?"
Sean said, "When he helped me that day, it was only because of a ruthless condition, which was to ask me to stay away from you so that he can get married to you as soon as possible. Therefore, if I were to help him today, of course it would require some collateral conditions. I got the contract for him. Even though this breaches the contract, Grand Asia can still get its
generous liquidated damages. He and I don't owe each other anymore."
Angeline's face darkened. Jay loved her very much last time. However, they were slowly drifting away now to the point where they were worse off than strangers.
Angeline squeezed out a bright smile for him. "Since you've decided, I'll support your decision. However, as someone who was once your good friend, let me advise you. The higher you climb, the more painful it'll be when you fall."
Sean's gentle smile froze on his face.
Had Angeline seen through his desire?
The elevator arrived at their floor and Angeline held down the elevator as she said one last thing to Sean,' You're really good at acting. You almost had me fooled."
After she said that, she stepped into the elevator and the door closed shut.
Sean stared at the closed elevator door in a daze.
Was he not able to hide it well or was Angeline too smart?
When Angeline walked out of the Central Building, she caught a glimpse of the Rolls-Royce parked at the door of Bell Enterprise.
'Jay hasn't left yet?'
She glanced over at the Rolls-Royce faintly and walked toward the RMW behind the Rolls-Royce.
Jay saw how Angeline completely ignored him through the car window and felt aggrieved inside.
He was terrified for her during those days when she was missing. He had been looking forward to her coming back but did not expect that it would be this way when she finally came back. She was very indifferent to him.
After the BMW drove away, the Rolls-Royce immediately followed behind it.
As the car shuttled through the bustling streets of Imperial Capital, Angeline looked at the Rolls-Royce behind her. It melted her cold heart a little bit.
However, Angeline soon realized that she had no principles when it was about him. If he treated her badly, she had to leave him. When he was nice to her, she was like a puppy clinging back to him. She hardened her heart and did not stop.
The Rolls-Royce followed her all the way. However, Jay knew she had trauma with cars following her. He was afraid that she might get distracted while she drove, so he had to change his strategy. He called her. Angeline looked at the familiar phone number and hesitated to answer it.
Jay held the phone and looked at the BMW in front of him. He looked gloomier than ever.
Her phone rang endlessly.
Angeline reluctantly picked up the phone.
"Stop the car," Jay ordered coldly.
Angeline s voice was mixed with a hint of coldness and ruthlessness. She said sarcastically, "Sir Ares, may I know what position you're coming from telling me what to do?"
Jay was rendered speechless by her words.
After a while, Jay said solemnly, "Let's talk."
Angeline was silent for a moment before she said something. Her tone became particularly cold. "Sir Ares, there's nothing to talk about between us." "How long are you going to stay mad at me?"
Chapter 724
Chapter 724
Angeline sneered, "I'm not mad at you. Perhaps you don't know about this, but that day when I walked out of Garden Of A Diary, I was confused and did a stupid thing. I had a car accident but fortunately, the owner of the other car saved me. When I woke up, I realized that I had already given my life to you, so I don't owe you anymore. From then on, I swore that I'd only live for myself. So, Sir Ares, I hope that you can let me go too."
Jay was silent, and he started to look worse.
It turned out that he had hurt her deeply that day. She even thought of killing herself.
Every word from Angeline hurt him deeply. "I've been living my life for you for so many years. Now that I've woken up from it, I realize that I should feel sorry for myself. I'll only live for myself from now on." "So are you kicking me out of your life? Is that what you mean?" Jay's voice was cold.
Angeline paused for a long time.
"Yes," after a long time, she replied sharply.
Jay closed his eyes in pain. At that moment, his brain was thinking of what he should do to wake up her cold and hopeless heart.
However, at that moment, a horrific scene happened.
A bullet penetrated the Rolls-Royce window and shot straight at Jay.
"Careful." Storm's body quickly blocked it.
The bullet passed through Storm's arm, grazed past Jay's cheek, and flew toward the rear window of the car.
Jay was shocked, and his phone dropped to the bottom of the car seat.
His Rolls Royce was equipped with first-class bulletproof glass.
However, the power of the bullet was beyond his imagination.
When Angeline did not get a response from him for a long time, she hung up the phone. The BMW turned a corner and disappeared from Jay's vision.
With blood on his arm, Storm endured the pain, started the Rolls Royce, and drove to Grand Asia's medical department.
Jay did not recover for a long time.
Grand Old Master Severe's words rang in his head. "The Ares family has made a big mistake. If anyone finds out about this, the Ares family will be in big trouble. I'm afraid that even the most insignificant relatives won't be able to escape the bloodbath that's about to happen."
His plan to reconcile with Angeline suddenly
vanished.
When Grayson, Tempest, and Finn heard about Mr. Ares' accident, they hurried to the medical department immediately.
Jay sat in his wheelchair with the bullet in his hand as he studied it carefully.
Grayson was horrified. "How could the Rolls-Royce's bulletproof glass not stop such a small bullet?"
Jay tossed the bullet to Grayson and said, "This bullet isn't a military-grade bullet. I'm afraid it's a bullet from a top hitman organization." 1
Tempest could not believe what he heard. "But we're just normal businessmen. Why would we provoke the hitmen organizations?"
"Mr. Ares, do you think the hitman was hired by Grand Old Master Ares from his Defense Battalion?"
Grayson said anxiously, "Could it be that when we made a scene at Grand Old Master Ares' Chateau de Selene last time, we offended him and he's trying to get rid of you?" Jay fell into deep thought.
Grand Old Master Ares was a businessman. Although it was inevitable for businessmen to get blackmailed by the mafia, Grand Old Master Ares' status allowed him to be protected by law.
However, Grand Old Master Ares established the Thousand Member Defense Battalion. Elite fighters were selected from all over the country to join the battalion.
In the past, Jay felt that Grand Old Master Ares was spending too much money to support them. Now, it seemed that Grand Old Master Ares might have been planning ahead.
If he was to deal with the day that Grand Old Master Severe talked about, it would be a bloodbath for the Ares family!
Jay shook his head and said, "Ares family hasn't had such powerful and advanced military armory manufacturing." "Who would it be?"
Chapter 725
Chapter 725
Jay leaned his head on the back of the wheelchair. A look of defeat appeared on his face. He was a little unwilling when he said, "It seems that Old Master Severe's worry was reasonable." Which influential person had the Ares family offended?
It was someone who made Old Master Severe and Grand Old Master Ares jealous.
Grayson pondered. "Mr. Ares, does the Ares family have hidden secrets?"
Old Master Severe's hint which was the word 'York' appeared in Jay's mind.
Jay pondered deeply, saying, "If we want to know who's behind all of this, I'm afraid we'll have to unlock the secrets from my mother's side."
The faces of Grayson and the others became serious.
"Mr. Ares, your mother's identity has been hidden by the Ares family for nearly half a century. If you reinvestigate her identity, I'm afraid that the Ares family will try to stop you in every possible way." Grayson reminded Jay.
Jay said, "We shall have to rise up to the challenge." "Yes," Grayson responded.
Storm's arm was injured. Fortunately, the injured part was not a vital artery. The doctor was able to stop the bleeding. After applying some medicine, Storm was discharged with thick gauze wrapped around his
arm.
Jay's safety had become the most important task at hand, and the task of taking care of Jay was now Finn's responsibility.
Regardless of Jay's objections, Grayson forcibly assigned him a dozen bodyguards. Tempest was among the dozen of them.
At night, Jay returned to Garden Of A Diary.
The children were dumbfounded when they saw a team of more than a dozen bodyguards following their dad.
Jenson thought carefully and asked, "Daddy, why are they here?"
Jay never hid any danger in front of his son. In his opinion, boys should sharpen their character so that when they encountered difficulties and obstacles in the future, they would be able to know how to face danger.
"Jens, we're being watched by bad guys. You must be very careful these few days," Jay solemnly instructed the child.
Jenson nodded. "Okay."
Baby Zetty showed a frightened expression.
Baby Robbie patted her shoulder to comfort her. "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
Jay looked at the brave and fearless Baby Robbie, squeezed his small face, and reminded him, saying," Daddy knows that you're good at martial arts, but our enemy is much more powerful this time. So I have to warn you not to show off your physical strength during danger. Brain is better than brawn."
Baby Robbie still had a fearless look on his face. "Don't worry, Daddy. If Jenson is with me, he'll use his brains and I'll use my brawns during the critical moment. Zetty can even act as the damsel in distress to trick them. We'll be fine."
Jay rubbed his hair, and his voice became serious. " Jens and you are men. You shall not take your sister's safety for granted as a joke at any time. Understand?"
"Okay," Baby Robbie said.
Baby Zetty was a confident child and never worried enough about risks. Instead, she only cared more about the immediate matter at hand.
"Daddy, why didn't Mommy come back with you?"
There was a layer of loneliness in Jay's faint black eyes.
Angeline was really heartbroken by him this time. She did not want to talk to him anymore.
"Daddy, I warned you that you may enjoy torturing your wife now, but you're going to pay a hefty price for it later on. Do you believe me now?" Jenson walked away with a blank face.
Baby Robbie could see that Daddy was already sad. He did not want to criticize him further. Instead, he comforted him warmly and said, "Daddy, don't be sad. As long as you kneel down in front of Mommy and admit your mistakes, she'll forgive you. When Zetty and I made mistakes last time, this trick always worked."
Jay glanced at his stiff legs and was not able to stifle out a laugh.
At night, it was quiet.
Garden Of A Diary sank into the silence.
Jay sat by the window. As he looked at the crescent moon in the vast night sky, melancholy arose limitlessly.
He hoped that the secrets hidden in the Ares family would be made known to the world as soon as possible so that at least he would not need to live in anxiety, and the only thing left to do was to overcome all difficulties and forge ahead.
Chapter 726
Chapter 726
However, part of him also hoped that the secret would never be revealed. That way, he could still enjoy a moment's pleasure and steal a lifetime of peace.
However, he knew that once the gears of fate began to turn, it would unfold as he wished. The only thing he could do was to take the initiative so that he would have the upper hand instead. Jay went to his study, picked up a charcoal pencil, and began to draw carefully. He decided to paint the portrait of his mother, Chloe.
In the wee hours of the morning, he entered the painted portrait into the reverse image search developed by Grand Asia. Immediately, hundreds of people who looked like Chloe popped up. One of them caught Jay's attention.
That was because the person's surname was York.
Noel Yorks.
Jay looked up his information. The man only had one picture. He looked very young and had similar eyes to Chloe.
Information about him was very scarce and he only had a short introduction that said, 'Leader of Universe Headquarters.'
Jay then hacked into the website of Universe
Headquarters.
However, the webpage seemed to have been abandoned. It had not been updated for decades. The core data inside were all erased.
Jay could only guess what Universe Headquarters did from the few words that were written on the web page.
The colors, pictures, and even the icons on the official website were all dark. It was clear that it was not a formal organization.
Jay kept screenshots of all the information on the webpage and sent it to Grayson. A message was attached, 'Arrange a few people to sneak into Ares family and check the icons on it. Other than that, look into Noel Yorks' information.'
Within seconds, Grayson replied, 'Got it.'
After he finished it, it was morning time.
Jay started another busy day.
After finishing breakfast in a hurry and leaving Garden Of A Diary, he could not help but feel nervous.
Jay looked at his three kids and asked them to stand in front of him. He told them, "If you're ever in danger, activate the defense system. You guys need to go to the basement fortress to hide and don't come
out.
Daddy will be back tonight."
Jenson replied, "Okay."
With a gloomy face, he said, "You pay attention to your
safety, too."
He bitterly and secretly gazed at Jay's legs. He solemnly asked as if he was an adult, "Why don't you undergo rehabilitation for your legs? Uncle Grayson said that the doctor didn't say that you'll never be able to use them again. He clearly meant that there's hope for recovery. It's you who refused the treatment."
Jay said, "It's a waste of time."
Jenson said, "If you can't stand up, how can you protect your wife, children, and parents?"
Jay was a little startled!
He was in a daze for quite some time.
"I know."
After Jay left Garden Of A Diary, he started thinking about what Jenson said.
His biological parents had already passed away. He had to protect his wife and children. He could not just not stand ever again.
"Finn, go to Grand Asia's medical department."
"Okay, President Ares," Finn said cheerfully.
He was very happy to be able to serve President Ares.
Since his Rolls-Royce was under repair, Jay changed his vehicle to a Hummer with better safety.
When the Hummer drove to Grand Asia, Jay saw Angelina help Old Master Severe out of a luxurious
Mercedes.
Jay's pupils shrunk slightly. Just when he wondered when the Severe family regained such style, he saw a man coming out of the driver's seat.
Chapter 727
Chapter 727
The man was as handsome and beautiful as him.
He stood beside Angeline and smiled. His gestures were elegant and noble as he looked at Angeline tenderly.
He exuded nobility and the style of a high-ranked person.
Jay felt as if an inexplicably powerful threat was approaching him.
Perhaps Angeline did not know who owned the Hummer, but Angeline had not noticed Jay at all.
She helped Grand Old Master Severe and walked toward the entrance of the medical department.
The man next to her carried her bag for her gentlemanly. Such a man must be of the heavens and stars, but he ended up lowering himself to serve Angeline. Apart from love, Jay could not think of a second reason why that man would do so.
The sourness in his heart began to ferment inexplicably, and it felt as if the blood in his body stopped flowing.
Angeline and the man helped Grand Old Master Severe into the elevator. That harmonious image of them together was a grand spectacle.
Jay forcibly suppressed the mixed feelings in his
heart and said to Finn, "Follow them."
Finn was the person with the highest emotional intelligence among the members of Ghost.
Finn knew that Mr. Ares was upset because he had met a strong rival who was competing for Angeline's love.
He wanted to help Mr. Ares and secretly vowed to embarrass the man in public.
Finn wheeled Jay to the place where Old Master Severe was getting his check-up. When they got out of the elevator, Angelina saw Jay. She never liked Cole, but after she saw Jay, she uncharacteristically took the initiative to hold Cole's hand. She also smiled sweetly at him. Finn wheeled Jay over.
Cole looked at Angelina's little hand, then at Jay in the wheelchair. His clear mind instantly knew what was going on.
'The man in the wheelchair must be the man who made Angeline like him so much that she's willing to give her life for him.'
Cole looked at Jay carefully and finally understood why Angelina did not respond to his beautiful self.
Even though the man in the wheelchair was disabled, the icy aura exuded from his body was clearly because he was a highly-ranked person.
Moreover, he had such a beautiful face that Cole had never seen, and Cole had seen a lot of people before.
He was as handsome as a statue. He was just like the ice sculptures displayed in exhibition halls. His eyes were like a masterpiece that master sculptors spent all their lives carving.
His flawless face was already a rare treasure, but he also had a deep and quiet look in his eyes. Although his eyes were cold, they were electrifying.
It was no wonder that Angelina could not forget about him.
Finn knew that Mr. Ares was a person who cherished words like gold. If he was in a bad mood, he would say even fewer words than he normally did.
Finn stretched out his hand to Angelina very gentlemanly and said, "I've been looking forward to meeting you, Mrs. Ares. It's an absolute pleasure to finally meet you today."
He deliberately referred to Angelina as 'Mrs. Ares' to warn Cole that the young woman was Mr. Ares' woman and that he should not get involved.
Cole smiled a little. "That's all in the past, isn't it? Why are you still calling her 'Mrs. Ares'?"
Jay's eagle-like eyes immediately burst into a fierce light, as if an ignorant little sheep had broken into his domain. There was only one thought in his mind. He wanted to kick him out of his territory.
He turned his gaze to Angeline and said in a cold voice, "We haven't gotten a divorce yet!"
That was a reminder for her about who she was because a married woman should not be hooking up with a man casually outside of marriage.
Old Master Severe was afraid that Jay would show emotions that he should not be showing because of his jealousy. He was afraid that he might end up hooking Angeline's heart back, so he suddenly coughed loudly.
It was also a reminder to Jay to calm himself down for a while.
The anger in Jay's chest undulated, but he did not want to lose something important because of something insignificant, so he forcefully suppressed his hostility.
Chapter 728
Chapter 728
Angeline had a cold look on her face. "I can sign the divorce papers with Sir Ares any time he wants. He just needs to say the word and I'll cooperate." Jay got angry.
In order to regain his dignity that she had lost in front of Jay, Angeline simply used Cole to pretend to show off her affection.
"Didn't you say you want to marry me?" She looked at Cole. Her voice was weak and soft.
Cole was nice to her and nodded. "Yes."
י
She knew that Angeline was deliberately angering the man by showing him her tender and charming side. If it was any other day, Angeline would not be that pleasant to him. However, he was not angry.
On the contrary, he was secretly grateful to Jay that he could see Angeline's tender side.
"I want a grand wedding. I want to wear the most beautiful wedding dress in the world. I want a luxury car, a mansion..."
Cole smiled softly and harmlessly. 'Does this woman know the price of using me?" "It's all up to you."
Angeline glanced at Jay eagerly when she finished speaking and wondered if he would be sad that she was going to marry someone else.
Jay's face was sullen, but he was glancing elsewhere.
He was afraid that he would not be able to control the violent emotions in his heart. After he beat up Angeline, he would stuff her into a small black room where she would never be able to leave him. As for the man, Jay just wanted him to disappear from this planet forever.
Angeline did not see Jay being sad over how he would not have her anymore, so she was very disappointed.
Her eyes could not help but turn red.
Cole took her into his arms. Angelina's face was buried in his chest.
Jay's eyes were sharp as a knife as his gaze fell on Cole fiercely.
Cole was startled because he thought he was already the most dangerous man in the world. Why was it that after seeing Jay's eyes, he felt as if he had to bow down to him?
'This man... Yes. He's indeed a very admirable opponent.'
Angeline adjusted her sour feelings and popped her head out of Cole's chest. When he saw how happy Cole looked after touching her, Angeline glared at him viciously.
Since her back was facing Jay, he would not be able to see her fierce expression.
At that moment, she really wanted to give Cole's handsome face a big slap and swing her fist at him.
Old Master Severe had a feeling that if they were together for a second longer, it would get out of control. He quickly tried to ease the situation and said, "It's time for my scheduled check-up. Let's go." Angeline helped Old Master Severe up and left.
Cole looked back at Jay. He smiled smugly and harmlessly, but Jay said clearly to him, "Fake."
When the doctor examined Old Master Severe, Angeline's head was elsewhere.
She was secretly wondering why Jay came to the hospital.
'Is there something wrong with his body?'
Old Master Severe could tell what his granddaughter was thinking and said, "Angeline, can you go and ask when will my next review be?"
Angeline nodded and said, "Okay."
After Angeline walked out of the ward, she tiptoed to Jay's private ward.
She pretended as if she was just passing and that she had just glanced inadvertently. At that moment, Jay looked up coincidentally. When their eyes met, Angeline quickly looked away.
Chapter 729
Chapter 729
Even though it was just a quick glance, she saw Jay roll up his pants and the doctor was pinching his calf. Immediately, Angeline knew what was going on. Jay was there for a check-up and to rehabilitate his legs.
She hid quietly by the door and listened to the sounds inside attentively.
The doctor said with regret, "Mr. Ares, the muscles of your legs are slightly atrophic and I'm afraid it'll be difficult for them to return to normal."
Jay courageously put his foot down and said, "I must stand up."
Angeline was surprised. 'Wasn't Jay resistant to doing rehabilitation therapy before?'
In his eyes, the most important thing in life for him was time. Fruitless rehabilitation therapy was a waste of time for him.
'What changed his mind?'
Angeline was a little sad because she could feel that Jay really wanted to stand up.
However, the doctor's diagnosis was unoptimistic.
'He must be feeling horrible right now.'
Cole walked out of Old Master Severe's ward. From a distance, he saw Angeline hiding behind the door of a
ward. She was leaning against the wall and looked very sad.
Cole walked toward her and saw that the man in the ward was Jay. He took Angeline's hand and domineeringly led her away from the door of the ward. He then threw her to the stairwell.
Angeline staggered, and as soon as she stood firm, Cole put both of his hands on the wall. He confined Angeline in between the narrow space.
"What are you doing?" Angeline's beautiful eyes filled with fury.
Cole smiled gloomily. "What? You won't admit it after using me?"
Angeline felt a little guilty. "I suppose you noticed it. Since you know that I'm using you, don't take it seriously. Let me apologize for it."
Cole's smile slowly became a little cold. "Angeline, I made a promise to you and I wasn't kidding when I said that you'll have a grand wedding." Angeline looked at him gloomily. "I don't love you and you don't love me either. Nothing forcibly done is going to be good. Don't you understand?"
Cole looked at Angeline's pure and fawn-like eyes. He saw her tears for Jay in them and the way she pretended to be strong for Jay. For some reason, he felt heartbroken.
At the same time, he was attracted to her strong and fragile feelings. At that moment, he suddenly thought about taking her as his own so that she would never be hurt.
He suddenly pulled her close to him, pressed his body down on her, and kissed her on the lips. Angeline covered his mouth with her hand so that he would not be able to. She tried her best to push him away. She was like a wounded beast, staring at him viciously.
Her innocent eyes burned with raging anger.
After that, she raised her hand and gave him a loud slap.
Cole snapped out of it quickly. He could not believe that he had turned crazy for that woman.
Did he actually try to force her to kiss him?
God, did he seriously do something like that?
Angeline ran away furiously. While she walked, Angeline wiped her mouth desperately as if he had dirtied that part.
When Finn pushed Jay out, he saw Angeline wiping her mouth. When Angeline saw Jay, she did not stop and left quickly.
Jay falcon's eyes immediately turned to Cole who came out of the stairwell.
Cole's long fingers covered his thin and sexy lips. His face seemed eager as if he did not have enough. Snow had formed in the midst of Summer in Jay's eyes.
Finn wheeled Jay in front of Cole. Even though Jay was in a wheelchair and was as such a lot shorter than Cole, when he lifted up his head, his straight spine was as majestic as Mount Everest. He asked majestically, "What did you do to her?" His voice was chilling and majestic.

Cole smiled brightly as he looked down at Jay. His overwhelming eyes were filled with disdain.
"Angeline's mine. It's none of your business what I do to her."
Jay raised his hand and gave him a loud slap.
Cole was furious and turned scarily pale.
His initially warm smile was condensed in the corner of his eyes and his slender fingers touched his hot face. "If you think you can get away with hitting me, I'm afraid that you're mistaken." His voice is very gentle and sounded like a spring breeze.
Jay looked down, and his profound eyes exuded a suffocating cold light. "Until I and Angelina are officially divorced, you're not allowed to touch her. Otherwise, you'll be paying a heavy price." Cole chuckled. "Haha. Interesting."
That was the first time in his life that he had ever received a threat.
"Let's wait and see, then," Cole said, his hand falling gently on Jay's wheelchair.
Jay's sharp gaze fell on his hand, and his hawk-like pupils suddenly contracted. Before he made any
move, Finn was quicker and lifted Cole's hand away. He laughed, saying, "Sir, President Ares doesn't like other people touching his property."
Cole moved his gaze from Jay's body to Finn's face. When he saw Finn smile harmlessly, he was slightly surprised that the people working for Jay were seemingly extraordinary. No one could see what he was thinking!
He looked down shyly, but it was clear that he saw through anything and was extremely agile.
Cole smiled and left.
Jay turned his head and stared at Cole's upright and handsome figure. His face darkened slightly.
'Isn't a beautiful man like him Angeline's type?'
Jay felt a headache coming on instantly.
Now that he could not openly stop Angeline from dating, he was very worried that Angeline would have an undue affection for the man.
"Finn, get someone to follow him," Jay said.
"Will do, Mr. Ares," Finn said.
When Angeline and Cole returned to the ward and walked around, Old Master Severe saw the two of them. Angeline's eyes were sulky and there was a palm's mark on Cole's face. However, there was a calmness in his eyes.
Old Master Severe instantly felt that his granddaughter was no match for Cole.
It seemed that he needed to help his granddaughter.
"Mr. Yorks, my family has spoiled Angel since she was young and that's why she's got such a temper. If she angers you, you don't have to endure her violent temper. If you choose to leave, I'll understand." Cole smiled. "Of course not, Grandpa. Since I've already chosen Angeline, I shall keep my promise wholeheartedly. I'll tolerate all of her, even her bad temper."
Old Master Severe was dumbfounded. 'How could he say the same about her as Jay?'
However, at that time, Jay was the most dazzling teenager in Imperial Capital.
He used his patience, his tenderness, and his love to court Angeline.
"Sigh." Old Master Severe sighed with regret." Unfortunately, my Angel doesn't deserve your grace. She's still married."
Cole said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. Their marriage will end soon."
Old Master Severe stared at Cole blankly. 'Where does his confidence come from?
'Is he going to openly provoke the greatest man of Imperial Capital?'
