Ch. 741..750

Chapter 741

Angeline stared at Anne angrily. Anne could insult her and Zayne, but an attack on her mother was unacceptable.

She walked up to Anne, raised her hand, and slapped Anne across the cheek. "No matter how useless my mother is, at least the values of the children she taught are normal. Unlike you whose daughter was taught to steal someone else s man, making the other a mistress while having the man's baby."

The information burst from Angeline like an atomic bomb. In an instant, everyone in the room was shocked.

Anne's eyes became blood-red as she said angrily, "I get it. You were dumped by Young Master Ares and your way of thinking isn't the clearest. That's why you slander my Sera."

Angeline said, "I'm not slandering her. You can call her and ask. You haven't seen her for about eight or nine months. If you count the days, she would probably be giving birth this month." George was shaken by the news. "Angeline, is what you're saying true?"

Angeline nodded. "Dad, if I tell lies, let the heavens cast their wrath upon me."

Outside the window, a flash of lightning suddenly

sounded.

Angeline,

Anne laughed. "Old Master, did you see that? Even God has come to testify for Sera. What Angeline said is false."

Angeline looked up at the treacherous God. 'That was really a bad time for the thunder, don't you think?'

"It's up to you to believe it or not."

She made her point up till then because she knew it would make Anne even more tortured.

Jenson, Baby Robbie, and Baby Zetty's upbringing were very good. When the adults were talking, they were quietly eating their snacks.

This meeting saw Mommy being bullied by the old woman, so Baby Zetty could not stand it anymore and intervened. "Mommy, are you talking about Grandpa's little wife?"

Baby Zetty's expression was cute and innocent. However, the information revealed carelessly within the sentence almost made Anne collapse.

It turned out that her daughter was not only a mistress but also the old man's mistress.

The last thing Anne regretted in this lifetime was that she had become George's mistress. She was not recognized by the Severe family in the early years and had suffered countless discriminations. No one knew of the pain in her heart.

Thus, she felt that she would not allow her baby girl to repeat her tragedy.

Yet, she did not expect that her daughter would attract what she most feared.

"I don't believe you." Anne stared at Angeline viciously. "Do you want to attack me? Is that why you told such a bad lie? Hmph, my Sera graduated from a world-renowned school and she's a proud person. What she hates most is being someone else's mistress. And she has a man she likes. How could she be someone else's mistress?"

George regained consciousness. "Anne, call Sera immediately and ask where she is."

Anne eagerly took out her mobile phone. "Yes, yes, TH call her right in front of you. TH expose the missus' lies. H

Baby Robbie suddenly shook his head and sighed. " Geez, my heart would not make it even before we reach the Mississippi River." This sigh was very meaningful!

Anne's hand that was holding the phone trembled slightly.

She had a very hard time pressing the numbers one by one. When the phone started ringing, her expression became tense. "Mom, why are you calling me all of a sudden? Is something wrong?" Sera's lazy voice sounded on the other end of the phone. Anne squeezed the phone. "Sera, where are you now?"

Sera paused and stuttered, "Oh, I... I'm abroad and will be back soon."

Anne's nervous expression immediately relaxed as she cast her fierce gaze on Angeline's face like a knife.

Chapter 742

Chapter 742

"Angeline, what else do you have to say?"

"She's lying," Angeline said.

"You're lying." Anne naturally preferred to believe in her own daughter.

Sera heard the voices of her mother and Angeline talking, which meant things were not good. She hung up the phone quickly.

At this, Anne was incessant.

"George, look at your good daughter. She'd actually slander our Sera."

George was very angry and unspeakably disappointed with Angeline. "Angeline, how could you frame your sister? You understand the importance of purity to a girl, don't you?"

"Dad, what I said is true. Sera became Jack's mistress and is in Tourmaline Estate now," Angeline cried out.

George stood up and slapped Angeline across the face. "I don't want to hear such words again in the future."

Lady Severe closed her eyes, tears rolling down.

She said sadly, "This kind of unproven thing, we don't know whether it's true or false, but it seems that Mr. Severe is being partial. Mr. Severe, you should go."

Anne felt like an arrogant rooster. "Mr. Severe would

know our Sera's character the best. Sera could be anyone's mistress, but she would never be Jack's mistress because she has always secretly loved Young Master Ares."

She glanced at Angeline contemptuously. "Oh, I see now. You must've been dumped by Young Master Ares, so that's why you hate my Sera. You hate that she likes Young Master Ares, so you say rude things about her."

"As if." Angeline covered her face and looked at her father blankly.

Her father's preference for Sera made her feel ashamed.

George glanced at Lady Severe with disappointment, then walked out the door angrily.

Anne hurried to catch up. "Mr. Severe, wait for me."

George did not say a word but walked to his bedroom with a gloomy face.

Zayne was rooted to his spot by the pole as he looked a t his mother guiltily. "Mom, I'm sorry."

Lady Severe smiled softly. "I don't blame you. Your dad and I have barely been a loving couple these days and we're tired. Let him go."

Zayne hit the wooden pole with his fist, his mood becoming very irritable. "It's all my fault. I didn't win honor for my mother..."

Shirley stepped forward to hug him and gently

comforted him. "Zayne, don't be like that."

Zayne's voice choked as he said to his mother, "Mom, I'm sorry, it's your son who has dragged you down."

For Lady Severe, the pain from the divorce at the beginning had already been cured by time. Now that the children were around, it was already of great satisfaction for her.

"In my heart, money, fame, and fortune are all fleeting clouds. As long as you stay by my side healthily, I'll be very happy."

Lady Severe was indifferent to worldly rewards and had a quiet but far-reaching demeanor. It was this character of not fighting or grabbing that made her unable to fight back in front of Anne.

Angeline and Zayne blamed themselves when they saw that their mother had been so wronged and was even knocked down to her teeth.

Anne had woken them up with that spat. It was because they were incapable that their father took his anger out on their mother.

Hence in the future, these two people would become more conscientious and diligent in their work.

Mommy was in a very bad mood, so Jenson secretly sent a text message to Daddy.

'Stepgrandmother bullied Mommy and Grandpa beat Mommy.'

Chapter 743

Chapter 743

'Why?'

Jay replied to his son's text message in no time.

Jenson knew that Daddy was very nervous about Mommy.

Jenson replied, 'Evil stepgrandmother mocked Mommy for having an addled mind because of love and Mommy hit her.'

'Well, that's good.'

'Mommy scolded stepgrandmother, saying that she didn't teach her daughter well and that Aunt Sera became a mistress.' 'Yes, well done.'

Jenson could almost see Daddy's appearance of unconditionally protecting Angeline's shortcomings through the phone screen.

'But Mommy's rank is low, so Grandpa thought Mommy lied and framed Aunt Sera. As such, he hit Mommy.'

Jay's text message did not arrive for a long time.

Jenson sighed. Daddy must be angry with Grandpa.

'Daddy, Mommy's waiting for her knight in shining

armor to rescue her.' After sending this text message, Jenson quietly put the phone away.

Jay looked at the message sent by his son, and his handsome face turned livid.

Ever since Angeline was young till now, he had not been willing to raise his voice at her.

Now that he was in a difficult position, he had to put aside his relationship with Angeline. This was already a big blow to Angeline. He initially thought that the Severe family would give Angeline some warmth this time, but instead, they made Angeline's situation even worse.

Jay felt sorry for Angeline.

His clenched fists hit the desk all of a sudden and Grayson hurried in when he heard the loud noise.

He saw a dark, cold light in Jay's bloodthirsty hawk eyes. "Grayson, go and find out when Sera is due and help her hold a grand press conference."

This was called giving her a dose of her own medicine.

Grayson's complexion darkened slightly as if he had thought of something important. He parted his lips.

"What else do you want to say?" Jay asked.

Grayson said, "Sir Ares, we've already made arrangements according to your instruction. Sera's son is definitely stillborn. If the reporters are present, won't it be disadvantageous to us?" Jay said, "Proceed with it."

Grayson turned and left.

Angeline contacted the best elementary school in Swallow City for her children-Swallow City Experimental Elementary School.

As the children's academic performances had not been assessed, the school could only treat them as normal children and place them in third grade.

Fortunately, under Angeline's cajoling, the school agreed to arrange the three children into Third Grade A Class.

The next day, Angeline brought the children to school.

Both Baby Bobbie and Baby Zetty liked lively and crowded places, so they were looking forward to going to school.

Angeline's only worry was Jenson because his condition goes on and off. Angeline was afraid that he would not fit in with the new environment and that it would aggravate his condition.

She then did ideological work on Jenson. "Jens, Mommy is letting you go to school to study. I'm not asking you to be an all-rounder, straight-A student. If you find it difficult to study, don't put pressure on yourself because Mommy won't blame you even if you place last in exams."

Jenson's mouth twitched. "I'm not that dumb." Angeline beat around the bush and spoke a lot, but it seemed that she did not get her point across. She was a little anxious herself. "Mommy knows you're smart. Mommy's worried about your-"

She could not say the word 'condition'.

Chapter 744

Chapter 744

Jenson said, "Are you afraid that my condition will get worse?"

Angeline said, "Jens, you don't have a condition. You just have a colder personality, like Daddy. This is actually pretty good too. It's just that your classmates might think that you're rude and that you don't care about others. If they don't like you and isolate you, don't be sad. Mommy will love you forever."

Jenson finally heard Mommy's earnest intention and hugged her. "I'm sorry Mommy, I made you worry."

Angeline,

Why was this kid so sensible?

While sending the three children off to school, they ran into the Titus family's servant sending the Titus family's daughter to school at the school gate. Their manner caused the road at the plaza in front of the school gate to be instantly congested. A long convoy was jammed on the sidewalk leading to the school.

It was obviously foul driving, but the security at the school gate and the parents who were being disturbed on the road cowered and shied away from the main road. No one dared to accuse the Titus family of their overbearingness.

"Wow, look! The daughter of the Titus family is going to school."

"I heard that Yosemite Titus finally got a daughter at such an old age, so he especially loves this daughter."

"It's good to be born into a rich family."

Angeline guarded the three adorable babies and walked forward with difficulty.

The imposing convoy was so crowded that there was almost no space for the pedestrians to walk. The children were already moving slowly, and they got even more scared by the moving convoy. Some parents had no choice but to carry their children.

Angeline carried Baby Zetty. As such, Jenson and Baby Robbie could only walk by themselves.

Seeing that it was almost time for class, the parents started running wildly.

Jenson was brushed aside by other parents and had accidentally rubbed against a car. The driver immediately swore, "Brat, are you gonna pay for dirtying my car? Get lost."

Angeline freed up a hand and took Jenson into her arms. She scolded the fierce driver, "How dare you bully others using your superior power and position!" Angeline felt sorry for Jenson the most because in her opinion, Jenson's mental capacity was weakened. As such, she protected Jenson with extreme care. That person suddenly kicked the car door open and

walked out fiercely. "Are you talking to me?"

The pedestrians were so startled by this scene that they fled one after another, fearing that they would get into trouble.

That man looked tall and large and had a very robust body. His muscles were particularly eye-catching.

He walked toward Angeline, brandishing a fist.

Angeline said, "Baby Robbie."

Baby Robbie suddenly leaped into the air. He was very agile. He knelt on the shoulder of the big man and his fists hit the man's head like raindrops.

"You dare bully my brother and even dare to be aggressive with my Mommy. I think you're tired of living."

That big man reached out and tried to grab desperately, but Baby Robbie's body slid toward his back like a rolling stone. His feet were hooked upside down around the man's neck, and with the Yellow Dragon Smash move, the child caused the man to grimace in pain.

"Little sweetheart, I'm afraid of you. Let go quickly," the man begged for mercy repeatedly.

Baby Robbie swept his leg across and tossed him to the ground. Only then did he pat the dust off his hands.

At this time, other bodyguards of the Titus family had gathered around one after another.

A dozen people surrounded Angeline, and the passersby gave them a sympathetic look.

A kind passerby even quietly reminded Angeline, saying, "Quickly kowtow and apologize to them. This bunch of people are unlawful rascals. Last time, they beat up a student to death and it was settled with the Titus family compensating a little money to the poor parents."

Angeline cast a grateful smile to the kind passerby." Let me carry out the duty on heaven's behalf today."

She placed Jenson and Baby Zetty to the ground and said to Baby Robbie, "Son, take care of your siblings." Baby Robbie straightened his body and shielded Jenson and Baby Zetty behind him. "Mommy, all the best."

Chapter 745

Chapter 745

"Angeline Severe, if it were ten years ago, we wouldn't dare provoke you, but now, Swallow City belongs to the Titus family. If you offend the Titus family and we don't teach you a lesson, what reputation does the Titus family have to stand in this world?"

A man wearing a suit and a look full of hostility pushed away the other bodyguards and walked toward Angeline. He took off his sunglasses and looked at Angeline with a vulgar expression.

Angeline said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense. Fight me if you want. If you lose, then back up the cars. The school gate is a site where safety is important. Not even the Ares family of Imperial Capital would dare be this unbridled, let alone the Titus family."

"I know we violated the traffic rules, but we'll pay for the fine obediently. The Titus family are good, law-abiding citizens. Miss Severe, you're so nosy. Do you know of the consequences?"

The man took the cigarette in his mouth, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it fiercely as if he was stepping on Angeline.

Then, he raised his hand and gave an order, "Treat Miss Severe nicely. Such top-quality goods are one in a thousand years rarity."

Were they going to openly assault Angeline?

The others started laughing wretchedly and approached Angeline step by step.

At this moment, a luxurious Mercedes-Benz made a sharp whistle.

The eager bodyguards of the Titus family stopped because of the overbearing and unbridled whistle. They immediately cast their gazes toward that luxurious Mercedes-Benz at the same time.

The Mercedes-Benz brushed past the Titus family's stylish bodyguards' cars and made banging sounds. The doors of the bodyguards' cars were dented horribly.

"Who is this? Damn, so arrogant?" The man who had been arrogant and despotic earlier was now flushed with anger at the Mercedes-Benz that had appeared s o suddenly.

The Mercedes-Benz squeezed through the narrow space and crashed into both sides of the bodyguards' car, squeezing in stubbornly.

The car door opened, and a shiny black leather shoe landed on the ground. Cole Yorks appeared in front of everyone wearing a hand-made white suit.

He was lean and tall and with a noble, elegant disposition. He looked at Angeline with a smile in his eyes.

Although he looked very friendly, the Titus family's bodyguards dared not act rashly. They looked at each other and speculated on his identity.

When Angeline saw Cole, a look of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

"Why did you come here?"

Cole casually unbuttoned the cuffs of his clothes. "To stand up for you."

"Isn't it just a few rascals? I can settle them by myself." Angeline thought nothing of the punks at all. She was a Taekwondo master who had beaten eight Taekwondo school masters alone. Cole looked at Angelina's soft and cute face, and a smile appeared in his eyes. "I like that you're frivolous. However, you're my woman, and I definitely won't allow other men to touch you."

After speaking, Cole turned around and looked askance at the group of bodyguards. "You guys are lucky that I came at the right time today. If you guys had touched her, then the ending would be different." "Who are you?" The Titus family's bodyguards roared impatiently. "Introduce yourself if you're capable."

Cole unbuttoned the cuffs of both sleeves and shook his hands. A cold light flashed in those beautiful, smiling eyes. "You don't deserve to know."

His figure was as fast as his sharp eyes. In the blink of an eye, the Titus family's bodyguards all fell to the ground one after another while holding their stomachs. They were bleeding from their faces and yelling in pain.

Meanwhile, Cole stood calmly in front of Angeline, casually buttoning his cuff sleeves as before.

Chapter 746

Chapter 746

Angeline was flabbergasted.

She did not know what this person's talents were, but his speed was as fast as lightning. It was like an extraordinary talent.

Angeline glanced at Baby Robbie at the side. Her Baby Robbie was also born with fast speed. Who knew if when Baby Robbie grew up, he might be like the man in front of him? Looking gentle and harmless on the outside but was like a leopard on the inside.

Cole kicked the injured bodyguards on the ground with his foot and warned them, saying, "Go back and tell the Tituses that the Severe family of Swallow City is under my protection. If you dare to disrespect the Severe family in the future, beware that the Titus family will be finished. Also, if you bunch of arrogant things dare look at my woman next time, I'll gouge out your eyes."

After the lecture, Cole smiled and looked at the confused Angeline. "Are you alright?"

Angeline still had not recovered from her state of confusion.

Baby Robbie, however, looked at Cole Yorks excitedly." Uncle, the moves you did just now were really amazing," Baby Robbie said while gesturing, and his admiration toward Cole was overflowing. Cole was a little startled. Baby Robbie's sight and learning ability were really amazing. "Who are you?" he asked curiously.

Baby Robbie introduced himself, "Angeline's my mommy."

Cole was a little surprised, but then he started laughing loudly. "Haha, as expected of my son."

Jenson stared at him with cold eyes. "My daddy is Jay Ares. Don't simply adopt a son."

Cole looked at Jenson's distant, icy orbs. He touched his mouth, smacked his lips, and said, "Ah, really as cold as that man."

Baby Robbie said, "Uncle, you can't be our biological father, but you can be our godfather!"

Angeline and Jenson immediately scolded Baby Robbie, "Baby Robbie, don't simply acknowledge someone else as your daddy." Baby Robbie lowered his head and said, "I just admire this uncle's skills."

"But you still can't acknowledge someone else as your daddy," Jenson said angrily.

Angeline pushed the three children toward the school gates and said, "You guys are almost late for school, so hurry on in."

Angeline heaved a sigh of relief after the children entered the school gate.

Jenson looked and stared deeply at Cole, a flash of worry drifting across his eyes. It seemed that their daddy's love rival was really extraordinary. Angeline looked at the injured bodyguards lying in disarray on the floor and her head started to hurt. "Do you know who you offended today?"

Cole encircled his arm and looked at the severely injured leisurely. "They're the same no matter who they are."

Angeline felt defeated by his arrogance and ignorance. "They're Swallow City's local tyrant, people from the Titus family. You've now offended the Titus family. I advise you to leave Swallow City right away. Otherwise, it won't be long until catastrophe nears you."

However, Cole smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I can't leave Swallow City all the more. If I leave, then they'll definitely trouble you."

Angeline's small face immediately showed the 'not-taking-the-matter-of-life-and-death-seriously' look. She clenched her fists and muttered, "The Titus family and Severe family are originally sworn enemies. They came to me and I wanted to settle old scores with them. I've long wanted to beat up those treacherous villains in the Titus family."

Glancing at Cole, she continued, "The Titus family are now dominating the city. You can't beat the local tyrant. When the time comes, you'll die in a foreign land. How sad would that be? Besides, you're an outsider. There's no need to wade through these muddy waters."

Chapter 747

Chapter 747

Cole wanted to laugh. This woman really took him as a pushover.

"I'm your future husband, not an outsider. I have an obligation to protect you," Cole said.

Angeline rolled her eyes at him. If Cole had said this nonsense last time, Angeline would have flushed with anger and rebutted him.

However, Cole knew he had erred but still did not correct them, and as time passed, Angeline had become numb. She was too lazy to correct his wording.

After all, the result would be the same no matter how many times she corrected him.

She only hoped for him to leave as soon as possible.

She remembered Cole had once said that he came to Imperial Capital to carry out something and that after he was done, he would leave.

"By the way, are you done with your business?" Angeline asked while harboring bad intentions.

Cole narrowed his eyes. It was rare to see him showing such a solemn expression.

"Angeline, my business has not been going well, so I can't take you away as I had promised before, but I do promise you that I'll hurry up and settle it. Then, I'll take you away as soon as possible," he said in

an

oddly serious manner.

Angeline gaped in shock.

When did she promise him that she would go with him?

This person's behavior was too wild. Angeline could not help but ridicule him, "And here I thought you would've finished this business in three days and then get lo- Leave Imperial Capital?"

There was a rare frustration on Cole's face.

"I've never failed before in my life, but this matter is indeed tough," Cole said very sincerely.

Angeline asked curiously, "What matter is it?"

"I'm looking for someone," Cole said.

Angeline could not help but chuckle. "I thought it was a real big matter."

Cole said, "The person I'm looking for has been missing for 30 years."

Angeline's smile froze on her face.

Someone who had been missing for 30 years had most likely changed from being youthful and beautiful to old and wrinkly. Even if a whole nation were to search, there would still perhaps be difficulties, let alone Cole searching on his own.

Angeline sighed. "This means that you'll be staying in Imperial Capital for a while?"

Cole laughed and said, "Do you want me to leave earlier so badly?"

Angeline frowned. Why was this sentence so ambiguous?

When she had absorbed in what he said, Angeline rolled her eyes at him. "I hope you'll get lost as soon as possible."

Cole smiled and said nothing.

The two of them walked along the long sidewalk. The morning sunlight shone on them and two slanted shadows landed behind them, walking forward side by side.

During class, Jenson texted Daddy, 'Mommy's knight in shining armor showed up, but sadly it's not you.'

When Jay received this message, jealousy rose in his heart.

'Who?'

'Cole Yorks.'

After interrogating his son carefully and learning the ins and outs of what happened, Jay's eyes became icy. "Come in."

Grayson walked in with fear and trepidation." President Ares."

"The Titus family in Swallow City have been acting like a tyrant for years by stealing the fruits of labor of the Severe family. It's time for them to have a taste of how it feels like falling from the heavens." Ever since President Ares was forced to break up with his wife, his ruthlessness had become worse.

Chapter 748

Chapter 748

Grayson could feel that the sky of Imperial Capital was about to change.

The teenager who stood where the wind and waves were the fiercest... The invincible teenager who overcame all obstacles had returned.

When Grayson was about to turn around and leave, Jay suddenly stopped him. "Hang on."

Grayson turned around and looked at him.

Jay said, "Send the information we collected to Angeline. Let her undertake the task of punishing the Titus family."

He paused a little, then said sinisterly, "She must be happy to enact revenge on behalf of the Severe family. Moreover, her stepmother and father won't dare to look down on her anymore."

Grayson was a little startled. President Ares really took to great lengths to pamper Miss Rose. Not only did he want her to smile, but also for her to fight for her position.

Grayson said, "Yes, President Ares."

Swallow City, Titus Manor.

Two men carried the injured Forrest Titus and ran into the detached villa of Titus Manor in panic.

"Uncle!" Forest cried tragically.

Yosemite Titus was sitting on the living room sofa, enjoying his coffee. Upon hearing his nephew's voice, he looked eagerly out of the door.

"What happened?"

"Uncle, our cars were all crushed and our men were all beaten up."

Yosemite puckered his hawk eyes and placed the coffee in his hand heavily on the coffee table. The dark brown coffee splashed out.

"Who has the guts to mess with my men?"

"Uncle, I asked him, but he said we don't deserve to know his name. He didn't disclose it to us."

Yosemite looked at his nephew's hands and legs that were broken symmetrically and was furious. "Useless scum, you got beaten but don't even know who the other party is! How do you expect me to stand up for you?"

"Uncle, don't be mad. While I don't know him, I recognize his accomplice. He helped stand up for Angeline Severe. We just need to trouble Angeline, then he'll show up," Forrest quickly said.

Yosemite was exasperated and punched the coffee table. "Angeline Severe! First, you hurt my son, then you hurt my nephew. I'm at odds with you."

Forrest added a bit of spin, saying, "Uncle, Angeline holds a grudge against the Titus family for taking away the Severe family's limelight, so she didn't spare any mercy when she came for us." Yosemite said in a towering rage, "Forrest, look for a few people on the streets to cripple her. Remember to take some photos. I want her reputation completely ruined."

Forrest said, "But Uncle, the man by her side is very powerful."

"Then, just find more people."

"Okay," Forrest sneered triumphantly.

However, his lips were split and half of his face hurt, so he immediately shrieked, "Ouch, ouch!"

When Cole and Angeline returned to the Severe family, Anne was also coincidentally there.

Angeline heard Anne's bitter and sarcastic voice from afar, "All of you, don't give me such a stink face. You think I wanted to come back here? It's Master George who left his clothes here and made me come over to help him take it back."

Angeline's face turned pale as she ran into the lobby in big strides. She saw Shirley hugging her mother. Her mother's shoulders were trembling and there were tears in the corner of her eyes. She wanted to cry but was trying her best to endure it.

Anne sat on the sofa and crossed her legs. She wanted to irritate Lady Severe deliberately. "Big Sis, are you going to take Master George's clothes out, or do I go in and pack them myself?"

After saying that, Anne stood up and made a move to enter.

"Stand right there," Angeline said angrily.

Anne turned around and saw Angeline. There was a mocking look on her face. "Haha, the missy has returned. This girl who has given birth but is still staying at her parents' house, not afraid of becoming a laughing stock-"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw a handsome man with an imposing manner walking behind Angeline.

He was tall and lean with a smile in his eyes. However, his peaceful smile was bone-chilling.

Chapter 749

Chapter 749

Angeline tilted her head slightly and said with a volume that only she and Cole could hear, "This is my evil stepmother. Can you help me tone down her arrogance?" Cole smiled like a spring breeze. "Glad to be of service."

Anne scrutinized Cole for a while, and there was a trace of doubt in her eyes. "Hey, Missy, who is this gentleman?"

Angeline looked at Cole, her voice soft. "It's better if you say it."

This was because Angeline believed that Cole's arrogant mouth could set the vain Anne back.

Sure enough, Cole walked to Anne in a gentlemanly manner and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Cole Yorks. I'm Angelina's new boyfriend. And you are?"

Anne's face was a little unsightly. Due to her identity, no matter how impressive she was on the outside, she could never lift her head in this house. She was a disgraceful mistress.

"Anne Connors," she omitted her identity and simply stated her name.

Cole's eyes kindled with joy. Although it clearly looked like a harmless smile, Anne felt that this man's smile

hid poison.

"Then, what title should I call you by?" Cole asked brazenly.

Anne's face began to flush, and her ears had also started to heat up inexplicably. She was really embarrassed to mention her status as the mistress.

Angeline hugged her shoulders and looked at an embarrassed Anne gloatingly.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Cole smacked his lips and muttered, "I think your identity is something shameful!" 1

Lady Severe felt that her daughter's mischief was a bit excessive, so she began to speak to save Anne from embarrassment, "Mr. Yorks, this is Angeline's father's current wife."

Cole nodded with an expression of sudden realization. "So you're Angeline's stepmother?"

After Lady Severe had saved her from embarrassment, Anne then resumed her pompous attitude.

She had always been a vain woman who loved to compete. Now that Angeline was dating a handsome guy, she was tickling with jealousy. She just hoped that this man was an impressive-looking but useless idiot.

"May I know where you work?" She started to interrogate meticulously.

Cole said indifferently, "I'm afraid you've never heard of the company I work for, so it's better if I don't say it."

Anne pondered secretly. She had heard of the companies that were slightly famous in cities around Swallow City. If she did not know it, it must not be famous.

Looking at Cole again, she felt that that elegance and nobility were nothing more than perks from his looks.

Anne then started to be cynical. "The man that the missy used to like is the richest, most capable, and best-looking man in the entire Imperial Capital. As soon as she was dumped by him, she rushed to find another man."

She gave Cole a disdainful look and said with contempt, "Other than good looks, this man has no background whatsoever. Only a second-hand good like the missy is willing to accept him. Anyway, my Sera wouldn't look for such an unknown man."

A cold air lingered in Cole's dark pupils as he grunted coldly. He then turned, walked toward Lady Severe, and took out a card from his arms before handing it to her respectfully.

"Mom, this is my betrothal gift to the Severe family. It has a stored value of 100 billion dollars. Be careful, and I hope you'll like it."

Lady Severe was stunned.

Anne yelled in shock, "100 billion dollars?"

Cole said, "It's just 100 billion, what's so surprising

about it? You're making a fuss over nothing."

There were only a handful of families with more than 100 billion in property in the entire Imperial Capital. It was likely that even the Titus family of Swallow City did not have this strength.

Chapter 750

Chapter 750

However, Cole had easily given out 100 billion dollars. This was a divine-level boss comparable to Jay Ares!

Of course, Lady Severe would not accept it. "Mr. Yorks, I only have one daughter, so her marriage is an important affair. I'll only respect her decision. If you want to marry my daughter, as long as my daughter likes you and agrees to marry you, then I'll approve. I absolutely don't want this money."

Cole's likability for Lady Severe gradually increased.

In this society of impetuous fame and wealth, a woman who was indifferent to fame and wealth like Lady Severe was hard to come by. It was no wonder that the Angeline she brought up was a lovely woman who regarded money as dirt.

Angeline thought that this was just an act, so she walked over, took the card, and said with a smile," Mom, just accept it. This is his token of appreciation."

Lady Severe shook her head and shoved the card to Angeline. "You handle it yourself."

Angeline took the card and kissed it lightly with her lips. She purposely spoke in a coaxing voice to Cole," Thanks, Cole. With this 100 billion, I can revive the glory of the Severe family." Seeing Angeline smiling brightly, Cole was lost for a moment.

During this time, Angeline had been gloomy and her sadness was prominent. It really was the first time he had seen her smiling so brilliantly.

Angeline was stunningly beautiful. Her beauty was not tacky but was instead, pure. It was unforgettable.

Anne was very jealous. Angeline seemed to be naturally destined with those handsome, wealthy sons. She had just broken up with Jay, but she already found another rich man. Anne's distressed face was very ugly.

Lady Severe went upstairs, took the initiative to search for George's clothes, and handed them to Anne. "These are Old Master George's clothes, take them."

Anne left the Severe family compound with the luggage as though she was fleeing.

Angeline yelled from behind her, "Aunty Connors, take care! See you!"

Anne suddenly turned around, and a twisted smile speared on her still charming face. "Right, I forgot to remind you that Master George won't be returning to this compound in the future." After speaking, she flashed a victorious smile and left.

Lady Severe staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Mom." Angeline ran over and held onto Lady Severe tightly.

Lady Severe broke free from Angeline and Shirley's hands and walked into the house alone. She seemed to have aged 10 years all of a sudden. Her once beautiful figure had become a little rickety. Yet, she still feigned being strong. "I'm fine, I just need some sleep. Angel, help me serve the guest."

"Oh," Angeline responded with a choked voice.

Upstairs, Old Master Severe's lonely silhouette staggered toward the bedroom.

He saw everything that had happened in the lobby. He was old and unable to save the decline and splitting up of the Severe family.

He even felt that being alive was also a kind of suffering.

Angeline looked guiltily at her grandfather's desolate back. With clenched fists, she swore secretly," Grandpa, I'll definitely change the status of the Severe family, believe me."

Cole looked at Angelina's determined face and said with a smile, "Do you want your father to come back to this house?"

Angeline stared at him blankly. "Do you have a way?"

Cole smiled confidently.

Angeline was dubious, however. "How can you have a solution for this kind of thing? Don't brag."
