Ch. 801..810

Chapter 801

Jay's eyes chilled abruptly.

Had he not witnessed it with his own eyes, so he never would have believed that George Severe would cast Angeline aside in front of so many people like old shoes and speak to her so harshly. Jay grasped the wheelchair's armrest firmly and a few cracks were heard.

Old Master Severe's gaze fell on Jay's hands. Veins were seen popping out from the force, and a hint of worry filled his eyes.

His worries were right. The next moment, Jay's gloomy voice was heard. "What do you expect Ms. Angeline to learn from Ms. Sera, Mr. Severe? To learn how to seduce me shamelessly like her? To learn how o fall into my dad's embrace when she fails to seduce me? Ms. Sera alone is capable enough to make my father and I turn against each other, and now you're asking Ms. Angeline to be a vixen too, Mr. Severe? Tsk."

He shook his head slightly and sighed, criticizing the way Mr. Severe educated his children.

Jay was someone who disliked talking about his scandal, but after seeing how Angeline remained silent when George wronged her, he could not stop himself from standing up for her.

As a witty man, he did not state explicitly about helping Angeline but had taught Sera and George a lesson for Angeline.

Panic flashed across Sera's face. After she returned to the Severe family, she had been lying ceaselessly lest her father reproached her. She had also said zero details about how she had set Jay up and played the victim. All she said was how smitten she was with Jay and how she ended up falling into his trap. That was how she got sent to Jack's bed instead.

She was forced to have a relationship with Jack and even thought about committing suicide after that but ended up getting imprisoned by Jack. As Jack did not have a son, he threatened her to give him a son before releasing her.

In addition to Sera's hypocritical acts and her tearful face, she was also willing to go so far as to beg George to forgive her. As a result, George was completely hit by Sera's sugar-coated bullets and did not condemn her for her predicament but felt sorry for her instead.

Though as soon as Jay appeared, he touched her on a sore spot and exposed her for seducing him.

Sera feared that her father would grow suspicious and his trust toward her would collapse.

Afraid that Jay would say more things against Sera, Anne quickly softened her tone and was almost pleading with him when she said, "Master Ares, the greatest mistake that Sera ever made is being too attached to you. You may not know this, but Sera has been smitten with you since childhood. In order to be worthy of you...

"She has been studying very hard. For this reason, she was admitted to a world-ranking prestigious university and even specialized in management so that she could stand next to you one day and share your burdens. She's obsessed with you, and though this may be mere wishful thinking, I hope you can take into account the considerable efforts she's making, Master Ares."

Jay glanced scornfully at Sera and said three words, " You disgust me."

Sera bit her lip, feeling beyond humiliated to hear her crush describing her using such a vicious adjective.

Jay did not go on to expose Sera's scandals. It was not because he had a guilty conscience, but because he caught sight of Angeline standing on the side just like a puppet as she allowed their conversation to drift as if they did not affect her the slightest.

Her usual lively and vivid eyes looked like pools of stagnant water at this moment, carrying no trace of emotions or fluctuations at all.

Jay's heart was drawn by her emotions, and he suddenly forgot to retaliate against Sera.

With the lack of sleep last night coupled with her poor health lately, Angeline was exhausted at this moment and yawned over and over again. This caught everyone's attention instantly.

George was extremely displeased with Angeline's passivity. In his opinion, Angeline was Jay's ex-wife. Even if they had broken up, they still had three children together. If Angeline could just come forward and say a few words for Severe Enterprise, it would definitely be more useful than a hundred words of his own.

Seemingly thinking of the same thing, Anne cleared her throat deliberately and reminded Angeline with a clouded face. "You may not know this yet, Ms. Angeline, but Master Ares is here this time to terminate all project cooperation with Severe Enterprise and to prohibit us from using Grand Asia's patented technology. From what I can see, Severe Enterprise might as well declare bankruptcy straightaway."

Anne thought that since Angeline was also the Severe family's daughter, she should be very nervous about the future of the Severe family. After all, she could more and less inherit some shares from Severe Enterprise in the future.

Angeline was slightly surprised. Jay's actions were tantamount to exterminating Severe Enterprise.

Chapter 802

Chapter 802

The only reason he was being so uncompromising was that he no longer had any feelings for her. She shook her head, not wanting to continue to make wild guesses.

She had decided to sever all ties with him after all.

The decisions he made had nothing to do with her.

Now that Anne had called out Angeline's name and said so much to her, it would seem a tad rude if Angeline did not reply to her.

What was more, everyone in the house was staring at her like she would feel very sorry if she did not voice out.

Angeline said, her voice as soft as a mosquito, "I've resigned from my position as Severe Enterprise's executive president. From now on, I have nothing to do with Severe Enterprise's development." George was slightly startled.

He did not mean to really expel Angeline from Severe Enterprise. Although he did intend to make Sera the executive president, he had already planned to assign a slightly lower position to Angeline. He was only trying to make her angry at first and let her know the taste of pain before telling her that he had arranged for her to be the vice president.

What caught him by surprise was that she had resigned as the executive president without the least bit of reluctance.

Sera's eyes sparkled with joy.

Lady Severe's angry gaze fell on George. George might have realized that he had gone slightly overboard and said, "Severe Enterprise has many other positions.

You can choose whatever you want, alright?"

"Like grassroots?" Lady Severe asked angrily.

She might be a gentle and amiable woman, but when it came to things that involved her daughter's happiness, she would put on a graceful bearing and shoulder the responsibility as a mother. George said, "She can choose any positions she wants apart from executive president."

In any case, she could choose anything as long as she fell under Sera.

Both Anne and her mother looked as cocky as a rooster at once.

Angeline declined decisively. "There's no need for that."

Jay was given the cold shoulder after hearing her nonchalant tone and felt slightly embarrassed.

Jay wanted to comfort Angeline but pretended to sound nonchalant instead. "The company is going bankrupt anyway. Does it matter what position she gets?"

Both Anne and her mother's faces were clouded at once.

Angeline showed an impassive attitude toward the dispute in the living room. "Grandpa, Mom, and Dad, I'm a little tired, so I'm going upstairs now. Excuse me, everyone." Then, she disregarded George's exasperated gaze and the indignant look on both Anne and her mother's faces. She walked away at a leisurely pace.

"There's a distinguished guest at home. What's with that attitude of hers?" Sera deliberately sowed

dissension by making Mr. Severe dissatisfied with Angeline.

Now that Angeline was gone, Jay instantly lost interest in the Severe family's ethics drama. "Let's go, Finn."

Old Master Severe, who had remained silent the whole time, suddenly cried out in panic, "Jay, are you really going to be that uncompromising?"

Chapter 803

Chapter 803

Jay's wheelchair had already been wheeled to the main entrance. His long and straight back paused slightly, but he did not turn around. A cold and unsympathetic voice fell into the old master's ears. "I'm sure you know why I'm here today, Old Master Severe."

He did not say anything else after that.

Finn wheeled Jay away resolutely.

After Jay left, Anne started yammering and whining," Who does he think he is? He's nothing but a lame man, isn't he? Now that he has lost favor in the Ares family and lost his status as the head of the Ares family, his net worth has dropped to about the same level as Jack."

Since Sera could not win Jay's heart, what was left in her was only hatred. "Hmph, you're already doing him a great favor for putting him on par with Jack. Ares Enterprises is now in a favorable and advantageous situation with allies such as the Bell Enterprise and Titus Enterprise. It's at the height of its power. He, however, was forsaken by his friends and allies.

Grand Asia will go bankrupt in no time at all, I'm sure."

After a pause, she continued blabbering, seemingly still unable to vent her spleen, "Grand Asia must be going bankrupt. Otherwise, why did he come to the Severe family to ask for the patent fees himself? This bit of patent fees was nothing to him back then."

George quite agreed with Sera's speculation and echoed, "If Grand Asia cut off Ares Enterprises' intelligent chips, the intelligent products that Grand Asia takes pride in would have no choice but to be discontinued. He will also be driven into a corner."

Old Master Severe looked at the family speechlessly. Jay had remarkable abilities and was much bolder and invincible than him when he was still a young entrepreneur himself. He carried a much more vicious and hostile aura this time, the kind that seemed to show that he viewed the entire world as his enemy. He would mow down all resistance and would rather accuse someone wrongly than to miss his target. His idiotic son, however, thought he was nothing but a lame man?

"Hmph." Old Master Severe could not help but sneer.

Both George and Anne were puzzled by Old Master Severe's disdainful sneer. Who did Old Master have an objection toward this time?

He probably had an objection toward that cold blooded and merciless Jay, right? At least, that was what they thought.

Old Master Severe looked at his son and asked, "What are you going to do now that Grand Asia plans to impose sanctions on Severe Enterprise?"

George sighed heavily.

He was a generation that would carry forward the cause pioneered by his predecessors. It was already no easy feat for him to stabilize the foundation that Old Master Severe had established, let alone cope with a wave of crisis.

Old Master Severe could only sigh.

"Do you know why Master Ares chose to come to Swallow City today and take punitive measures against you?" Old Master Severe guided him patiently.

George looked dazed.

Anne and Sera exchanged glances with each other as well. They thought that it was a mere coincidence that Jay had come to Swallow City to take punitive actions against Severe Enterprise today, but it was only after Old Master Severe posed this question that they realized there was a mysterious reason behind it.

Even so, they never would have thought that Jay was here to back Angeline up no matter how hard they cudgeled their brains.

They were certain that Jay was able to suppress them because he and Angeline had severed all ties with each other.

Old Master Severe condemned them in a stern voice," All of you have treated Master Ares terribly today. If you can't think of an effective way to handle this, Severe Enterprise will have to declare bankruptcy sooner or later."

As soon as he said those words, George, Anne, and Sera were in no mood of being contentious anymore. After all, declaring bankruptcy meant that they would fall from heaven down towards the ground. They would be spurned and bullied. Just the thought of living a life like that terrified them.

Therefore, Anne stopped whining, and instead, asked Old Master Severe in a modest and polite manner, "Do you know what we can do to change Master Ares' mind, Old Master Severe?"

Old Master Severe snorted. "The fear is sinking in, huh? Weren't you all prideful just now? Didn't you say that Master Ares is just nothing but a lame man? That he has fallen off the pedestal and that Grand Asia is just waiting to declare bankruptcy?"

Chapter 804

Chapter 804

After Old Master Severe's admonishment, Anne felt so guilty that she dropped her head so low that it was almost touching the ground. Old Master Severe said, "Master Ares is right.

Ignorants know no fear indeed. How could you naively think that Master Ares would be defeated by the likes of Jack? Who do you think Master Ares is? He founded Grand Asia at the age of 15, using only five years to make Grand Asia the first giant monopoly company in Imperial Capital. This is something that Jack and his likes can never achieve, yet he did so in just five short years. What makes you think that Jack will win this time?"

Old Master Severe added, "Ares Enterprises has stopped supplying chips to Grand Asia, but there's been negligence on Jack's part. Jay has been in charge of Ares Enterprises for so many years, hence there's probably a seamless integration between Grand Asia and Ares Enterprises by now. At the very least, Grand Asia's patented technology is powerful enough to impose sanctions on Ares Enterprises.

Right now, it seems like Master Ares hasn't launched any insane counterattack yet, and I'm sure he has his reasons..."

As soon as Old Master Severe analyzed it for them, George, Anne, and Sera finally realized that they had made the biggest mistake for treating Jay with

contempt.

At this very moment, they were so shocked that their backs were drenched in a cold sweat.

How could someone like Jay, who sought revenge for the smallest grievances, not take his revenge after they had spoken so insolently to him just now?

Exasperated, Old Master Severe rolled his eyes at his son who was slow to come to the realization and said with a trace of helplessness, "Since Master Ares has taken a fancy to the villa in Apple Street, you should just sell it to him."

Anne cried noisily, "Where are we supposed to stay then?"

George turned his gaze to Lady Severe who was standing on one side, and in a tone that sounded rather solicitous yet at the same time like he was informing her, he said, "Quinella, please clear out a few rooms for us."

Lady Severe nodded and said softly, "There are no vacant rooms left on the second floor, only a few vacant rooms on the third floor. You can all move in if you don't mind." Anne cried out immediately. "I'm George's legal wife! The Severe family's residence belongs to George, so who gave you the right to ask us to stay on the third floor?"

A piercing glow shot out of Lady Severe's frailty. "I can clear out the rooms for you, but I will never give you

Angel and the three little munchkins' rooms."

George stared at his ex and current wife. They were already arguing before they even lived together officially. All of a sudden, he felt like his head was about to explode.

Burning with shame, George asked Old Master Severe, "Dad, do you know any ways for me to keep the villa?"

Old Master Severe sneered and said, "You can't even keep the company anymore and you're expecting to keep the villa?"

George lowered his head in shame. "Your son is useless for failing to keep Severe Enterprise."

Old Master Severe glanced upstairs. "Angeline has always been a person with all sorts of crazy ideas. You can humble yourself and ask her for advice, and who knows, you might just find a countermeasure." Sera muttered under her breath, "Now that her relationship with Master Ares has reached a deadlock, I'm afraid Master Ares will only punish us more severely if we ask her for advice."

George nodded, seemingly agreeing with Sera's opinions very much.

Old Master Severe shook his head and sighed. What a useless fellow.

Old Master Severe stood up and walked upstairs, his frail and old voice was heard. "Do you really think that Master Ares is taking punitive measures against

Severe Enterprise because Grand Asia is so poor that it has to charge Severe Enterprise patent fees?"

Old Master Severe threw a hint and that was it.

George looked puzzled. "Dad, since you know why Master Ares is making things difficult for Severe Enterprise, why didn't you step forward and be our mediator?"

Old Master Severe's steps froze on the stairs. He turned around slowly and said, "Dad is old now. I can help you resolve one crisis, but I can't help you forever. I hope that I'll be able to see the day Severe Enterprise actually thrives while I'm still alive."

Old Master Severe left after saying those words, leaving George standing on the same spot in a daze.

Chapter 805

Chapter 805

As the villa in Apple Street was acquired by Jay, Anne and the family were forced to move into the Severe family's residence instead.

Lady Severe had already cleared the rooms on the third floor, but when Anne took a tour around the third floor, she started yammering and complaining with her hands on her hips. "George, the third floor is too hot. Sera has just suffered a stillbirth and is still very weak. What are you going to do if she has a heat stroke?"

George looked at Sera as she stood on one side obediently. He noticed that she did look quite pale and felt worried when he saw that the baby fat on her face had been shed off.

Therefore, George approached Lady Severe and said earnestly, "Quinella, Sera has just suffered a stillbirth, and I'm sure you know that she's at her weakest right now. Why don't you talk to Angeline and ask her to exchange rooms with Sera?"

Lady Severe's face clouded at once. "Angel is also in poor health lately. You only care about your youngest daughter, George. Have you ever cared about your eldest daughter?"

George babbled confusedly after he was reprimanded by her. "Angeline has always been a sturdy kid since

she was a child, no?"

Lady Severe glared at him, a fierce glow emanating from her eyes. "George, Angel has suffered a tragic fate. She had a car accident, fell off a building, and went for plastic surgery. That's no superficial pain. Al of that has weakened her constitution."

George was in the wrong and said rather impatiently," Okay, okay, just take it as though I never mentioned it."

Angeline was just standing at the corner of the stairs. After listening to her parents' conversation, she felt a pang in her heart.

His father favored Sera so much that his brain was now addled.

At this time, Anne interjected in a bitter and mean tone, "Quinella, I'm not trying to be rude, but don't you think there should be a limit as to how much you should dote on your daughter? Have you seen other daughters coming home often to stay at their mother's place after getting married? You'll turn into a laughing stock."

Lady Severe was furious. "My daughter is my life, Anne Connors. The Severe residence is mine and I will pass it down to my daughter in the future. I'm merely doing it for my daughter's sake for allowing you to stay here right now. Don't take your undeserved gain for granted."

Anne was rendered speechless and could only make a n unreasonable scene in front of George. "It's your fault for selling off our villa, George. Now others are oppressing us just because we depend on them for a living."

George glared at Lady Severe fiercely, his voice slightly cold. "Just zip it, Quinella. Anne is just anxious about Sera, that's why she wants her to change rooms with Angeline. You're a mother yourself. You should understand the hardships she's going through."

Lady Severe gave in. "I'll switch rooms with her."

"No." Angeline walked out.

Mom had suffered all kinds of grievances because of her. She would not allow her mother to suffer any more grievances.

"Dad, you and Mom are already divorced. Since the court has given the Severe family's residence to Mom, i t is, therefore, my mother's private property. It stands to reason that my mother has no obligation to support your new family. She's just plain kind for accommodating your family, but her kindness certainly does not warrant your family's oppression." Angeline sounded extremely ruthless when she said the last

sentence.

A trace of anger emanated from Anne's eyes. "Aren't you the crudest, Ms. Angeline? Even if you dislike me and Sera, you shouldn't be so cruel toward your dad. Your dad gave your mother this house. Would your mother live in such a comfortable house if it wasn't for your dad?"

Angeline glared at Anne angrily. "You're already sowing discord before you even move in. There will surely be no peace in the Severe family's residence when you move in."

"Angeline Severe!" George roared furiously.

"She's your stepmother. Is that how you're supposed to talk to your elders?"

Not wanting to argue with George, Angeline announced in a rather weary and weak manner, "I will not hand over Mom's room. I can change rooms with her. Stay if you agree to it or leave immediately." Sera stopped as soon she got what she wanted and walked over to tug at Anne's sleeve, motioning to her with her eyes.

With that, Anne no longer voiced her objections.

Chapter 806

Chapter 806

Sera walked up to Angeline in a soft and gentle manner, flashing a humble, polite smile. "Thank you, Angeline."

Angeline ignored her, then turned around and left.

The sharp contrast in their attitudes made George dote on Sera more.

Shirley and Lady Severe cooked lunch at noon. Anne and the rest had already sat on the table a long time ago, and when they saw the ordinary-looking delicacies, Anne started acting up again.

"Quinella, the Severe family is different now. You should be frugal whenever you can when it comes to food. I'm afraid George won't be able to pay your alimony in the future if you keep being so extravagant and wasteful."

Angeline, who was helping Old Master Severe down the stairs, was infuriated when she heard what Anne said.

"My mother is very frugal normally. She prepared such a big feast only because you're here today. Don't be so ungrateful." Angeline snapped.

"Besides, the food on this table isn't bought using my dad's money but mine. It's alright if you're being ungrateful for eating my food and staying at my mother's house, but you should at least seal your lips." Anne looked extremely sullen and had no choice but to rub herself against George. "Look at your good daughter, George. Look how sharp her tongue is. I can say one sentence and she'll return with ten." Therefore, George reprimanded Angeline, "Jay must've indulged your bad habits. He probably couldn't stand your bad temper in the end and that's why he divorced you, right?"

Angeline looked thunderstruck as she stood rooted to the same spot as though she was struck dumb.

Old Master Severe glared sharply at George. "Know when to shut up, will you?"

Shirley walked over and pushed Angeline to the seat between her and Lady Severe.

God knew how Angeline would be able to finish this meal. Her father's words were like a knife that had stabbed her straight in the heart.

Ultimately, she pushed the remaining half a bowl of rice away. "I'm full. Enjoy your meal, everyone." Then, she turned around and went upstairs to pack her things.

Worried about her, Shirley followed her upstairs as well.

When she saw Angeline moving her belongings upstairs, Shirley stopped her on the spot. "Why are you moving when you're still so weak? Stay with me from now on. Let's not go upstairs and provoke that old hag."

"Mm." Angelina's impression toward Shirley had improved greatly lately, and thus, she accepted her invitation readily.

After lunch, both Anne and Sera went for a stroll in the backyard while Shirley and Lady Severe worked hard to clean up the dishes.

George leaned lazily on the couch.

Angeline felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw Anne and Sera walking leisurely in the garden as she stood by the window on the second floor.

Her mother probably resented Anne and Sera, but because her mother still loved her father, she was willing to put up with the unreasonable mother and daughter just to be close to her father. Angeline, taking into account her mother's meek love, had no choice but to turn a blind eye to the pair.

Initially, she thought that she would be able to live her life as normal as long as she behaved like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Though who would have thought when the three little devils came home from school that afternoon, the house would turn into a battlefield once more.

Chapter 807

Chapter 807

When the three munchkins got home from school, the first thing they did was to go to Mommy's room to let her know that they were home. However, when they came to Mommy's room, they did not see Mommy and instead saw Sera unpacking her luggage in the bedroom.

Jenson's face turned ice-cold at once. "Why are you in my mommy's room?" Jenson questioned coldly.

Sera glanced at the three children standing at the door and said, "This room will be mine from now on. Your mommy's room will be on the top floor."

"Who gave you the right to do so?" Baby Robbie asked grumpily.

Sera walked to the door. When she saw Jens' and

Baby Robbie's faces bearing a strong resemblance to Jay, her emotions were momentarily obscure. She said, "Because I'm the true missus of the Severe family. Your mommy doesn't deserve to stay in this room."

Sera had always thought that eight-year-old children were not the least bit aggressive and that she would not be in any trouble even if she told them the truth.

What she did not know, however, was that there was a n exceptionally huge gap between people.

This was especially the case with the three children i

n Jay's family. It was already hard to handle one of them, let alone three.

Baby Zetty imitated her and said bitterly, "And you, the Severe family's missus, went and conceived my Grandpa's baby. Shame, shame, shame."

Sera was infuriated and raised her hand to hit Baby Zetty. However, Baby Robbie kicked her away, causing her to stagger and fall.

Sera refused to believe that she was no match for the three children, so she clambered to her feet and grabbed the drying rack next to her. She then swung it toward Baby Zetty.

Terrified, Baby Zetty quickly hid behind Baby Robbie." Save me, Robbie."

In order to prevent the drying rack from hitting Baby Zetty's back, Baby Robbie leaped into the air and kicked Sera's belly. When the C-section wound on Sera's belly was kicked open by Baby Robbie, blood started gurgling out of it.

Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty had not seen much of the world and were so shocked that they were at a loss about what to do.

Jenson stared at Sera with frosty eyes and said in an ice-cold voice, "You deserve it."

Sera screamed in pain, catching Anne and George's attention immediately.

"What the hell is going on?" George asked with trepidation when he noticed that the corner lower hem of Sera's shirt was stained red with blood.

Sera pointed at Baby Robbie. "They did this to me!" Her face was pale as her fingers trembled. She looked extremely helpless and weak.

On the other hand, Jenson, who stood in front of Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty, wore a frosty look on his face.

George was not bold enough to make things difficult for the Ares family's children and could only roar at Anne. "Hurry up and go get Angeline to educate her children."

Anne, however, was utterly exasperated and landed a vicious slap on Jenson's face. Baby Robbie did not see it coming and had failed to react.

"How dare you slap me?" Jenson glared at Anne with his hawk-like eyes, his gaze as sharp as an eagle.

Anne took a quivering step back in fear when she met Jens' fierce and cold eyes. She was greatly surprised a s she did not expect Jens to have such a terrifying gaze at such a young age. "Yes, I slapped you. You're an uneducated child."

Slap!

No one knew when Angeline had appeared at the door. When she heard Anne insulting her son, she lifted her hand and slapped her viciously.

Anne clutched her blazing face. "How dare you slap m e, Angeline Severe?"

Angeline's pupils that were as dark as the sea were glinting with a dull and cold gleam. "You can insult m e, Aunt Anne, but you can't insult my children, let alone beat them. Jens especially." That was because Jens was an autistic child and Angeline had been extra careful when caring for him.

Anne had crossed the line.

Anne felt more or less embarrassed after getting slapped by Angeline, so she turned her head and threw herself into George's arms, bawling her eyes out.

 

Chapter 808

Chapter 808

"I can't stay in this house anymore, George. None of the juniors are showing me any respect. I'm too embarrassed to live." George chided Angeline, "Hurry up and apologize to Aunt Anne."

Baby Zetty yelled, "Why should Mommy apologize when she didn't do anything wrong? Grandpa only cares about seniority and ranking instead of rights and wrongs. We, the juniors, should be the ones to say that we can no longer stay in this house anymore because we'll only end up getting slapped by unreasonable seniors. We can't even fight back even when we're wronged. Sob, sob, sob, I don't want to stay in this house. I want to go back to Imperial Capital. I want to go to Daddy."

As Baby Zetty spoke, she covered her face and started crying.

George glared at Angeline. "Is this how you educate your children?"

Angeline said with a deadpan look on her face, "Baby Zetty is right."

George was furious. "Angeline Severe, take your children and get out of here at once."

Without saying anything further, Angeline took Baby Zetty's hand and left.

"Let's go."

Jenson stared at the exasperated-looking George with dark and profound pupils, a smirk playing on his face.

He then fished out his phone suddenly and dialed Daddy's phone number.

Soon, Jay's heavenly voice was heard.

"Jens."

"Daddy, hurry up and come and pick us up. We have nowhere to live anymore."

"What?" Jay's voice sounded like a vengeful ghost that was about to claim someone's life, carrying with it a stifling chill.

Blood drained from George, Anne, and Sera's faces in an instant.

Though they soon felt relieved as they thought that since Jay had broken up with Angeline, he probably would not have the time to deal with this as he needed to deal with a host of other problems every day. When Angeline packed her and her children's luggage and was about to leave the Severe's residence, she took the children to Old Master Severe to bid farewell.

When Old Master Severe learned that George was going to drive away Angeline and her children, he was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Grandpa." Angeline had no choice but to put down her luggage and hurried over to support her quivering Grandpa.

Old Master Severe pointed at the door exasperatedly." Go and get your dad."

Angeline had no choice but to delay her departure lest she displeased Grandpa. She walked to Sera's room and said with a sullen expression, "Dad, Grandpa asks to see you." Sera murmured, "Hmph, all you know is how to complain."

Angeline's gaze fell on the wound on her lower abdomen and reminded her in a chilly tone. "Why don't you focus on getting your injury taken care of, Sera? I heard that those who lost their firstborn to stillbirth will have a high risk of being infertile in the future if they don't take proper care of themselves."

It was only then did Anne remember to dial 911!

As soon as George walked into Old Master Severe's study, Old Master Severe was so furious that he grabbed his cane to hit him. However, he started panting heavily after a few hits due to his old age. George endured the pain and consoled Old Master Severe, saying, "Don't get angry, Dad. If you don't want Angeline and her children to leave, I'll go and ask them to stay right away."

Old Master Severe looked like he had given up on all hope as he leaned his head on the back of the chair, sighing. "Why didn't you learn from your lesson after losing your villa? Are you only going to be satisfied after you lose your life and all your possessions?"

George dropped his head as he was being reprimanded.

He could not wrap his head around what Old Master Severe had just said and just stood there in an upright manner.

Old Master Severe sighed helplessly. "Do you think that you can bully Angelina in any way that you like simply because there's no one there to support her anymore after she broke up with Master Ares?"

Chapter 809

Chapter 809

George was slightly emotional. "Dad, Angelina's my daughter. It stands to reason that I won't subdue her like that on purpose. I just think that I've left Sera and her brother out there for too long, causing them to be humiliated and looked down on by others contemptuously. I owe this pair of siblings, so all I'm trying to do is make it up to them while I'm still alive."

Old Master Severe sighed. "I'm afraid that your guilty conscience has turned into selfishness and blinded your senses as a result."

George said, "I'll be more than happy if Angelina can get along with Sera and her brother, but as you've seen, Angeline is spoiled and arrogant. She's rude and unreasonable to her stepmother, and that was why I said a few harsh words to her in a fit of pique. She actually took my words seriously and planned to run away from home."

Old Master Severe glared at George with his bright falcon eyes. "Angeline has never suffered any grievances since childhood. I'm sure you know who was the one who indulged her bad temper. If you have anything to say about Angelina's bad temper, then you're clearly questioning Master Ares' authority. Do you know that?"

George looked slightly dumbfounded.

He was only trying to educate his own daughter. What

did Master Ares have got anything to do with this?

Old Master Severe leaned forward with an extremely solemn expression. "I'm warning you, George, you can punish anyone in this family but not Angeline."

George was stumped after hearing what Old Master Severe said.

Speaking of nobility, out of all the members in this house, Angeline s children were of the Ares family's bloodline. Logically speaking, they would be way nobler than her.

Though Old Master Severe was clearly implying that Angeline was the most precious person.

George wanted to ask the reason, but Old Master Severe merely threw him the hint and that was it. He waved at him. "Get out."

When George came out of the study, he took large strides to chase after Angeline just as she was walking out the door.

Anne cried out anxiously behind him, "George, Sera's suffering from heavy bleeding. Should we send her to the hospital?"

George continued striding forward as he replied, "Get Dr. Zachary to come over and take a look at her."

Anne was extremely displeased with George's perfunctory reply and complained, "Where are you hurrying to that you don't even care about our daughter when something this serious has happened t

o her?"

Angeline dragged her suitcase and waited for a cab at the main entrance.

Lady Severe could not stop wiping her tears away as she stood on one side.

Shirley tried her best to persuade her to stay. "Your mother needs you, Angeline. Must you leave her just because you're mad at them?"

At this moment, George hastened outside and cried aloud, "Angel, you'll stay if you acknowledge me as your father."

Angeline looked at George in stupefaction as doubt emanated from her eyes.

What exactly did Grandpa tell Dad that he had pacified Dad's rage so quickly that he seemed to fear and revere her?

George said in an exceedingly sincere manner, "Angel, are you only willing to stay after I go down on my knees?" Having said that, George was about to get down on his knees.

Angeline took George's hands, tears welled up in her eyes. "I'm sorry for being a bad daughter and for making you mad, Dad."

She might have a bad temper, but she was rather filial. How could she possibly have the heart to drive her father to the edge and make him go down on his knees?

"I'll go back with you," she murmured.

Angeline then followed George back to the Severe residence. Thinking that Angeline was gone, Anne rejoiced inwardly thinking that she would be the owner of the house from now on and was so proud of herself that she began singing opera songs.

Though when she turned around and saw George bringing Angeline and her children back, the smile on Anne's face froze. "Well, well, why are you back again?"

Baby Zetty rolled her eyes at her. "You're an old witch."

Anne was furious. "Who taught you that?"

Baby Zetty placed her hands on her hips. "No one taught me. I read it in the book. You're Snow White's vicious stepmother."

"Baby Zetty," Angeline chided Baby Zetty softly.

Chapter 810

Baby Zetty clammed up at once.

Anne knew better than to argue with a child. With a sulky look on her face, she said, "It's way past dinner time now. Why isn't dinner served yet?"

Lady Severe and Shirley were busy trying to persuade Angeline to stay so they had no time to cook. When they heard Anne urging them to cook, both of them rushed to the kitchen with their heads lowered. Angeline held each of them with each hand and announced, "Dad, my mother is old and in poor health now. It'll be too onerous for her to cook three meals a day. We won't have idlers at home. We should take turns to prepare the meals."

Anne looked at her well-maintained fair and tender hands. At the thought of touching grease and grime, she immediately behaved in a spoiled manner and said to George, "You know I don't know how to cook in the kitchen, George."

Angeline was uncompromising. "Everyone here was born an aristocrat. Since the Severe family is about to go bankrupt, how are we any different from the poor? If you refuse to wake up from your aristocrat beauty dream, then you might as well don't wake up forever."

Anne's expression was extremely clouded because she was not born an aristocrat. She lived a homeless

and miserable life when she was young and had suffered greatly. It was only after getting together with George did she slowly walk down the path as a noblewoman.

Even so, she was confident that Angeline, the pampered missus, was only paying lip service. If she was to enter the kitchen, she would probably do worse than her.

Therefore, she said maliciously, "Well, I don't have a problem with that if you can lead by example."

Angeline grabbed the apron from her mother's hand and fastened it on herself. "Okay, I'll cook tonight and you tomorrow."

Baby Robbie and the rest cheered. "Yay, we can help Mommy cook again."

When Anne saw how confident Angeline was, she sneered, "We'll see about that once you're done cooking."

Lady Severe and Shirley wanted to go in and help but were pushed out by Angeline instead. "Mom, Shirley, it's your rest day today. I'll do it."

"Can you manage?" Lady Severe was extremely skeptical of her daughter's cooking skills. From what she could remember, her precious Angel had always led a pampered life and never entered the kitchen. Angeline said, "You'll know whether I can manage or not in a while."

The three munchkins entered the kitchen and started helping Mommy to knead the dough.

Baby Zetty suddenly pouted and asked Mommy grumpily, "Mommy, why'd you forgive Grandpa? I hate Grandpa because he hit Mommy."

Angeline squatted in front of Baby Zetty and said softly, "It's hard for any parents to treat their children equally. Grandpa takes Aunt Sera's side probably because he thinks that she's weaker and more delicate, and therefore, needs his care."

Jenson said wisely, "Mommy, you don't have to take my side next time."

The unspoken implication was that he was not weak.

Unwilling to fall behind, Baby Robbie said, "I don't need you to take my side either."

Baby Zetty hugged Mommy with great delight." Mommy, since Jenson and Robbie don't want you to take their sides, you can take my side then."

Angeline did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

Garden Of A Diary.

Jay held his mobile phone so hard that it was scorching hot.

Jenson gave him a call just now and said hastily that they had nowhere to live.

What did he mean by that?

Did they shamelessly squeeze into the Severe family's residence after he acquired George's villa?

To the point that they even usurped the host's role and tried to drive Angeline away?

Although he knew that making this call would be very inappropriate, Jay could not stand the inner torment and ultimately gave Angeline a call.
