Ch. 831..840

Chapter 831

When Baby Zetty saw that Anne was not moving, she said, "Grandma Connors, you're the person who rushed to sell this house and now you're the person who's refusing to leave. Do you think you can stay here forever even if we sold the house? How would there be such good things in this world? Even if there are, it won't happen to a scheming and calculating person like you because there's a saying that says success will only happen to people who work hard."

Anne's face turned dark.

She had plotted to sell Severe Manor for so long, but ultimately, she would not even be getting a share of the money. How could she leave just like that?

Anne's calculating eyes landed on George. "Master, since the house is sold for 50 billion, then you should share some of the money with us since there's so much money, right?"

Sera and Seth were delighted. They looked at George expectantly.

George said, "Of course, you guys will have some of the money."

Angeline looked at her mother. Lady Severe's lips parted several times like she had something to say. However, she stopped herself in the end.

Angeline could tell that her mother was not happy

with her father's decision. However, she was used to submitting to her father. Even if she opposed this, she would not express it brazenly.

Angeline sighed weakly.

There were two women next to her father. Her mother valued relationships, so she viewed money like dirt. On the other hand, Anne valued money and would haggle over every cent. When the two contradicting personalities lived in the same house, Anne's dominance and her mother's submissive personality would fit together flawlessly.

After staying together for too long, Anne's behavior started to intensify while her mother had backed away into a dead end.

Angeline was like her mother. She also valued relationships more than money. However, at the same time, she was different from her mother. She was reclusive and could not endure any ounce of grievances. Angeline stood up and said, "Dad, Aunty Connors, I think you've forgotten. My mother has no relationship with the Severes anymore. She divorced my father and this house is under her name. As such, the money should righteously go to her. My mom is the one with the right to allocate the money for the house, so it'll depend on her whether she wants to give the money to you and how much she wants to give to you."

Anne scoffed. She ignored everything Angeline said.

Angeline was curious why this woman was so confident that she would definitely get the money.

However, she did not expect her mother to tell her softly, "Just do as Anne said. We'll split the money in half between me and her."

Angeline looked at her mother in disbelief. "Mom..."

Lady Severe sighed long and hard. "Money isn't anything good anyway. I'll feel better if I share it with others."

Anne was delighted. "I knew you're a reasonable person, Quinella."

Angeline's face was dark. She was extremely unhappy.

The matter about the money from the sale of the house ended with Lady Severe backing away.

However, misfortunes never come singly!

After Anne got the other half of the money, her children started quarreling.

Sera acted coquettishly with her mother. "Mom, how are you going to share the money with me and Seth?"

Angeline shook her head. Like mother, like daughter.

Anne said, "It's for your brother to start his business, of course."

Sera stomped her foot coquettishly. "You can't give him all of it, can you?"

Anne understood what her daughter was thinking, so she comforted and said, "Sera, of course, you'll get a share. However, you'll probably be getting married soon. A woman would depend on a man for the rest of her life. So, I think I'll just settle this with a huge dowry."

Seth's face lit up.

Sera was curious about her huge dowry. "Mom, how much are you going to give me for my dowry?"

Anne was too caught up in her joy, so when her daughter asked her, she did not even think before blurting out, "100 million."

It was as if Sera had been struck by lightning. She was completely stunned.

Chapter 832

Chapter 832

After a long while, Sera bawled all of a sudden. "Mom, everyone said that you have to value all of your children equally. Now, I finally realize that you'll only value one of your children and abandon the other. You should just keep the 100 million for when you're old."

Sera covered her face and ran out.

Anne was in shock.

"I-I'll give you more. Why are you running?"

Anne turned around and told Seth, "Seth, get me your sister now."

"Okay." Seth ran after her as well.

Anne and her daughter had suddenly gotten into such a horrible fight, so she started to feel embarrassed. She went upstairs to rest with a dark face.

Baby Zetty called out after her, "Grandma Connors, it's your turn to make dinner today."

Anne froze on the stairs and hesitated. Then, she said, "I'm not eating." After that, she walked upstairs while twisting her hips.

Lady Severe looked at Master Severe with a helpless look on her face. She asked profoundly, "Are you happy now?"

Master Severe was stunned. He was unsure of what

Lady Severe meant.

Lady Severe walked in front of Angeline and comforted her, saying, "I know you're unhappy. You're a modern woman, so you'll feel that I should straighten my back even if I'm abandoned by the Severes and I should keep my distance from them."

Angeline looked at her mother and nodded.

Lady Severe said sincerely, "Angel, you're still young. When you get to my age and see all kinds of things in the world, then you'll understand. Money is the most invaluable thing in the world." Angeline did not understand the philosophy behind what her mother said. She felt that since her mother had her own considerations, then as her daughter, she should not meddle too much.

After she fell silent, she said, "I only have two children. So you should evenly split the 25 billion amongst yourselves.."

Shirley was an honest child. She said firmly, "Mom, even though Zayne is not making much money in his company, it's enough for me and him. Angeline is a woman with three children and her life is difficult, so you should give her more. If not, you can just give me and Zayne 5 billion. You can give the rest to Angeline."

Angeline looked at Shirley. The more she did not fight for this, the more pitiful Angeline felt for her.

Angeline said, "Mom, I don't want your money. Leave all of the money to Zayne. His company needs money urgently. Plus, Shirley is in charge of this family. She spent a lot on the expenses as well. It'll be better for her if she has some money with her."

Lady Severe was grinning widely. "You're all good kids. Since you know how to modestly decline, then I'll make the decision. Zayne will get 10 billion, Shirley will get 10 billion, and you'll get 5 billion." Angeline still felt bad, but she forced herself to accept this. "Alright."

When Baby Robbie saw her mom accepting the money aggrievedly, he ran up and tried to fix this for her mother. "Grandma, you don't have to give Mommy money because it's enough for her to have us. If we have no money, Daddy will give it to us. Daddy is extremely generous to us."

Angeline caressed Baby Robbie's head. "I'm strong and can provide for myself. My life motto is to not be a burden to other people."

Baby Robbie felt remorseful after hearing that." Mommy, I don't know how to provide for myself."

Angeline comforted her son quickly, saying, "Baby Robbie, you're still young. A child's duty is to study so they can contribute to the country in the future."

Baby Robbie finally felt better.

George looked at the modest family and felt complicated.

He blamed himself even more now. He kept feeling like he missed Seth and his sister's growth, and that was why they became such profit-minded people who would haggle over every cent. After a while, Seth brought Sera back.

Chapter 833

Chapter 833

Sera's eyes were red and she could not stop crying.

Angeline wanted to give her some tissues.

However, Sera glared at her with her blood-shot eyes and said angrily, "Don't try to be such a saint, Angeline. I won't be grateful to you. On the contrary, I feel disgusted.

"I was always jealous of you ever since I was younger. Why does everyone like you? Now, I finally know.

You're just fortunate to get involved with a reputable young master like Jay, and that's why the Severes changed their minds about you."

There was a smirk on Sera's face. She looked like she was venting her anger. "I feel sorry for you now because Jay doesn't love you anymore. You finally know what it's like to be looked down on like me.

"Hehe, I was stupid back then. I tried so hard to get recognition from this family. Now, I finally understand. In this world, no love comes from nowhere. If you want them to value you, you have to stand taller than them."

After she said that, she had an ominous glint in her eyes and a cold smirk on her lips.

Then, she left.

Angeline shook her head and sighed as she watched

her leave.

Actually, she knew what it was like to be looked down upon.

She was rebirthed as Rose Loyle and the Loyles did not care about her at all.

However, she was filled with love. That was why she was able to persevere until now.

Angeline went upstairs and took a nap.

Then, she was woken up by the commotion downstairs.

Anne's voice was sharp and piercing, penetrating her ears through the wall.

"Sera, you're not my daughter anymore if you walk out of that door."

Angeline got out of bed and ran downstairs.

She saw Sera holding her suitcase and walking out the door with all of her possessions.

Anne was crying so hard in George's arms that she lost her voice.

"This is a sin! I raised you with everything I have and you got mad at me because of the house's money? You even want to run away from home?! You've already made up your mind about not wanting me?" Sera's eyes were red, but coldness poured out from the bottom of her eyes.

"Mom, I'm going now. Isn't this what you want? This way, you can focus on spoiling your son and not care about my wellbeing."

At one side, George started to talk Sera out of this earnestly. "Sera, your mother was careless in splitting the money. I've already lectured her. You and Seth will each get half of the money."

Sera looked at Anne and said sarcastically, "Hehe, Mom, do you agree to this?"

Anne looked at George reluctantly and reminded him with an ulterior motive. "Master, there's a difference between sons and daughters."

In other people's eyes, Anne favoring one of her children and discriminating against the other was influenced by the transitional value of boys being better than girls.

However, Angeline remembered that Sera's blood type was Rh-negative. When she thought of how Anne was treating Sera and this, she came to a sudden realization. Was Sera not Anne's biological child?

Immediately, there was a luxurious Lincoln Town Car at the front door. There were also a few more luxurious cars behind it.

When Sera saw the car, an arrogant smile crept up her face.

She dragged her suitcase and walked to the car.

Before she left the carved front door of Severe Manor, she stopped suddenly and smiled devilishly at her mother.

"Mom, I finally understand. If you're alive, you have to be on top of the game. If not, even your own mother will look down on you."

Chapter 834

Chapter 834

Anne pouted. She said awkwardly, "Sera, I know you're ambitious and no worse than boys, but you should know that your brother has the duty of reviving the Severes on his shoulder, so I should give him more money. It's not for his personal use. You should empathize with me."

Sera scoffed. "Don't try to find an excuse for your biasness. Have you not sided with him enough ever since he was younger? Every time he made a mistake, you'll surely blame it on me. Hehe, Mom, don't worry. I don't need your money anymore. One day, I'll make you see that your son can't even compare to me."

Anne's face was as grey as ash.

Sera opened the door and immediately, four servants came forward to help her with her suitcases.

The window of that domineering-looking Lincoln rolled down and Jack was sitting in the passenger seat.

It was such an obvious sign. Sera was willing to become Jack's second wife.

George almost passed out from anger. He ran over and roared. "Jack Ares, why are you here?"

Jack looked at him with his head tilted to one side. His eyes looked sinister. He was looking at George as if he was looking at a stray dog. "Severe, I'll take good

care of your daughter. You'll have a much better life when she gets to Tourmaline Estate."

George was furious. "Sera, get over here now. How can you be so shameless..."

George was so angry that his entire body was shaking. Suddenly, he started vomiting blood.

Angeline rushed over and supported George.

"Dad!"

George pointed at Sera and pleaded with Angeline," Angeline, stop your sister."

Angeline handed her emotional father to her mother and walked over to Jack.

"Jack, do you think it's appropriate to kidnap a woman in broad daylight?" Angelina's voice was heated, yet it sounded like she was powerless and weak.

Jack said, "Miss Severe, Sera isn't a three-year-old child. She has the right to choose how to live and you people keep stopping her. Aren't you scared that I'll sue you for violating her human rights?" Angeline snorted. "Heinousness is in the trade of a heinous person indeed. I remember I gave you 100 million not to pester my sister anymore. Have you forgotten about it?"

Jack laughed and said, "I didn't forget. However, Sera is the one who pestered me this time."

George placed his hand on his heart as he listened to Angeline and Jack's conversation. Suddenly, he started laughing maniacally.

He staggered to Sera and said with a broken heart," Angeline didn't lie. You're the one who's lying.

"You're willing to become Jack's second wife but you put all the blame on Angeline instead. You said that she's cruel and refused to save you. How stupid of me to believe your rubbish. I even slapped Angeline because of this..."

George had a look of remorse on his face.

When he heard Jack and Angelina's conversation, he finally realized how much he had misunderstood Angeline.

In order to bring Sera home, Angeline gave Jack 100 million bucks, but she never boasted about this to him.

George started laughing in self-mockery. "I thought Angeline was spoiled because she was pampered by u s ever since she was young, so that's why she made this mistake. On the other hand, you were petty and low ever since you were a child, so you're soft. I didn't expect to make such a huge mistake."

Sera's plan was exposed and she could not hide her expression anymore.

However, she was just like Anne. She never knew how to reflect on herself. She was someone who would only blame the gods and accuse others of her problems.

"Dad, do you think I want to be like this? You've never given me an ounce of love ever since I was young.

Mom would always hit and scold me. The madam of Tourmaline Estate loves me so much and Master Ares is also very fond of me. Aren't you the ones who made me like this?" "You..." George was so mad that he could not speak.

Jack teased, saying, "Severe, you have to take care of your body."

George felt a sharp pain in his chest and stomped his foot in anger. "Sera, if you want to go, I won't stop you. From now on, I'll just pretend like I never had you as my daughter!"

Chapter 835

Chapter 835

Sera cried and said, "Dad, please forgive me. I don't want to live this kind of petty life anymore. I can't find my place here in this family. It's okay if you don't want me. From now on, I'll be living for myself."

Jack ordered the driver. "Drive."

The luxurious car brought Sera away.

Anne was wailing loudly. "My daughter, how can you be so cruel?"

George scolded Anne. "How dare you cry? Weren't you the one who did this?"

Anne started sobbing shamefully.

When they got into the house, Old Master Severe had already come downstairs. He was sitting on the sofa with a grim look on his face.

"Are you happy now that it has come to this?" Old Master Severe questioned angrily.

No one dared to say anything.

Old Master Severe said, "I'm old and don't have much time. You sold this house and spent all of the Severe family's assets. That's good, I guess. I won't have anything to worry about when I go into the coffin." George lowered his head in shame. "Dad, it's all my fault."

Old Master Severe said in disappointment, "You should back down if you know that. Let the ones who are able to take your place step in."

His gaze shifted to Angeline and Seth. "You two.

Which one of you is willing to take over the Severes' business?"

Seth's face was dark. He had already heard that Grand Asia was punishing Severe Group in all aspects.

Severe Group was not allowed to use Grand Asia's patented technology. If that was the case, how would Severe Group be able to rise up again?

Aside from losing money, there would be no point in taking over Severe Group now.

Seth was putting his safety before matters of principle. He said, "Grandpa, you should know that I'm not the true young master of this family. I don't have any prestige if I go to the company. I think I shouldn't add more inconvenience to the trouble."

The old master's gaze landed on Angeline. "Angeline, do you not want to do this as well?"

Angeline looked at her grandfather's expectant eyes. She knew her grandfather had high hopes for her.

She was the heiress who her grandfather cultivated himself.

Angeline nodded solemnly.

The old master was relieved.

However, in order to let Angeline show her true strength, the old master had paved her path for her.

"Alright, from now on, you'll take over Severe Group. However, you'll be responsible for the profit and losses."

When the old master announced this, Anne let out a huge sigh of relief.

Severe Group was going bankrupt. From now on, they had nothing to do with her anymore.

Angeline felt a huge pressure on her, and at that moment, she felt extremely stressed. However, she still nodded her head. "I got it."

Just like that, the Severes welcomed a new beginning after a series of misfortunes.

This was Angelina's moment.

Angeline regained her position as the executive president and was also holding multiple jobs at the same time. Immediately, she made an impact on the company. The first thing she had to do was to solve the shut down of Severe Group.

The products of Severe Group were dependent on Grand Asia's patented technology.

Severe Group could only operate again after they got the patented technology permit from Grand Asia.

Angeline decided to drop by Grand Asia on behalf of the company. She decided to talk about the continuation of the contract with Grand Asia.

In order for the discussion to go successfully, Angeline worked overtime for several nights and made a lot of preparations.

To make everyone think she was an efficient businesswoman, she even cut her beautiful long black curly hair. Her hair was now shoulder-length.

She did not wear her usual soft-looking dresses and put on a typical white shirt and black skirt to look more professional.

She looked more confident and at ease like this.

Monday morning, she arrived at Grand Asia on time.

When Grayson saw Angeline, he was shocked.

What shocked him even more was that the arrogant and snobbish young missus was grinning at him.

Hmm, did she need to ask him for a favor?

However, how would he dare to make a decision for her?

Grayson took out his phone and sent Finn a message.' Get the president here this instant.'

Chapter 836

Chapter 836

After he sent the message, Grayson ran over anxiously.

Before he said anything, he started to wonder.

Should he call her 'Madam' or 'Miss Severe'?

"Why are you here?" In the end, he left out her title.

Angeline smiled courteously and said, "Grayson, I want to talk to you about your company's patented technology and the continuation of the contract with Severe Group."

Grayson was in a difficult position. "Only the president can decide this."

Jay was the one who stopped this collaboration, but Angeline was not confident that she could make him change his mind.

She figured another shortcut would be signing the contract with Grayson without Jay interfering.

"Grayson, this is just a very small contract. You have the right to handle all the contracts with a set price when the president isn't around. I don't think you need to trouble your extremely busy president." Angeline stopped Grayson from leaving.

Grayson said, "Miss Severe, the president will be here soon. Why don't you wait for him in his office?"

Angeline saw that Grayson was still determined not to

sign the contract, so what could she do to settle this matter?

She would have to face Jay herself.

She was slightly dispirited. She could not even take care of Grayson, so how could she take down that sly wolf, Jay Ares?

Grayson brought Angelina to the president's office, and almost immediately, Angelina started feeling nervous.

What should she say to him when she saw him later?

Should she beg him?

However, when she thought about his icy gaze, she shook her head to get rid of that thought.

She was not her Jaybie who would help her with anything anymore.

After a while, the secretary brought her a cup of warm beverage.

"Thanks," said Angelina politely.

The secretary was looking at her weirdly. "Miss

Severe, I heard that you've divorced the president. The president's new girlfriend has such a powerful aura around her. She's not as cute and soft as you." After she said that, she stuck out her tongue and walked away.

Angelina froze.

Did Jay bring his new girlfriend to the office?

Angeline felt a wave crashing against her body.

'Stop lying to yourself. He doesn't love you anymore.

'Why are you still fantasizing about him?'

Angeline staggered as she turned around. When she was about to leave, she heard the sound of the doorknob turning.

Then, the door opened. Jay rolled in without a warning in his wheelchair.

When he saw Angeline, there was a look of surprise on his face.

Grayson had told him someone was looking for him, but he did not specify that it was her!

Jay's eyes landed on her refreshing new haircut.

This girl must have wanted to make herself look more powerful. However, this hairstyle made her look like a student from senior high.

She looked so small.

He wanted to protect her so badly.

Angeline was frantic. She finally recomposed herself after a while and approached Jay. She said politely," Sir Ares, can we talk?"

Jay looked at her silently.

Her courtesy with him was like thorns in his heart.

Angeline's nervousness was showing. She was so worried that he would kick her out.

He was never polite with her whenever he saw her anyway.

She was used to him being icy to her.

"I don't have much time. I'll give you ten minutes. Go o n." Jay did not want to let her go just like that. On the other hand, he could not show too much passion for her. As, he could only say these words in a neutral tone.

Chapter 837

Chapter 837

Angeline handed the contract she prepared beforehand to Jay. "Sir Ares, look at this contract. I hope you can continue to support Severe Group's project of developing high-end smart appliances. Of course, as a reward, we can give Grand Asia a patent fee higher than the market price."

Jay looked at the huge stack of documents. It had been a long time since he saw this girl being so serious. It seemed that she had taken over Severe Group that was riddled with problems.

"Angeline, do you think you can bring Severe Group back to life?" Jay asked lightly. There were no emotions in his voice. However, there was a flash of ridicule in his charming eyes.

Angeline knew Severe Group was on the brink of death. However, in order to fulfill her grandfather's wishes, she could only bear this weight on her shoulders.

"I think you've heard about the quote 'where there's a will, there's a way'?" Angeline asked.

Jay smirked. His thin lips were pressed together and it was as if he was smiling. "Anyone can talk big."

Angeline said emotionally, "I'm not talking big. Back then, my grandpa started from nothing and it was difficult for him to start this business. However, didn't

he still start Severe Group which became number one in Swallow City? Now, I'm standing on the shoulders of a giant, so I should have a better result than him." "Give me a believable reason, then," Jay said slowly.

Angeline did not have anything to guarantee her success. She was just doing something that was completely beyond her scope.

She could only tell Jay some inspirational quotes. "The new will overthrow the old and we'll get stronger with each generation."

Jay burst out laughing.

"Indeed, you're standing on the shoulders of a giant, but have you ever considered how painful it'll be when the giant falls?" Jay reminded her. Angeline,"..."

She never imagined that this guy would use his evil words on her.

When he saw that Angeline was defeated, Jay stopped teasing her. He said in all seriousness, "Angeline, there's rapid progress in the development of smart appliances. Your product is at least three generations behind the ones in the market. Even if I sell my patented technology to you, your products will still be unmarketable. Do you understand?" Jay lectured her patiently.

Angeline said without admitting defeat, "You just have to give us the technology. As for the sales of

Severe Group, you don't have to worry about it.”

The smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Jay looked at her and said resoundingly, "Angeline, why are you still struggling to hold on?"

Angeline was furious. "Even if you don't want to work with Severe Group, you should be poised. Can you open up your heart and wish that Severe Group will ride against the waves and rise up again? Is it that difficult?"

Jay said with an imposing manner, "Angeline, Grand Asia will swallow all our rivals. Not just Severe Group, but even Titus Enterprise, Bell Enterprise, and Ares Enterprises won't be able to escape this fate." Angeline looked at the man whose eyes were as deep as the ocean. She could feel a sheen of cold sweat forming on her back.

The evil aura around Jay was so intense!

That was the kind of dark power that could destroy the earth. It was as if he was going to plunge into hell a t any second.

Angeline had one urge in her head-she needed to grab him.

She walked forward all of a sudden and positioned her face close to his solemn but handsome face. She uttered while gritting her teeth, "Sir Ares, I won't let you get away with this."

Jay's dark eyes stared at her. There were stars in

Angeline's eyes, like lights under the sea.

He said through gritted teeth, "I refuse to work with you. Severe Group will only come to a dead end."

Angeline straightened her back. "You're wrong. Sir Ares, you still have no idea, huh? There are already people who've surpassed you in this world. They've created a computer chip that's even thinner than what Grand Asia has."

Jay's pupils constricted. "Who?"

"This is a secret."

Angeline said confidently, "Since you refuse to stoop down and work with us, then I'll just find someone else. Goodbye, Sir Ares."

She skipped out of the door.

However, she twisted her ankle the moment she reached the door as she had not worn high heels in a long while.

One of her shoe's heel broke.

"Ouch." Angeline howled in pain.

Chapter 838

Chapter 838

Jay turned around, and Angeline smiled at him sheepishly.

"Hehe, they're new, so they don't fit me."

Jay suddenly thought of something. There was a tinge of humor in his eyes.

Angeline took off her heels and limped out.

Finn saw the concern on Jay's face and asked on his behalf, "Miss Severe, are you okay? Do you need to go to the clinic?"

Angeline said, "It's fine. I have my own remedy."

Jay frowned. "Remedy?"

Then, he remembered Cole just as his face turned dark.

Jay sat in front of the french window on the ninth floor. He looked at the entrance of Grand Asia quietly.

When he saw Angeline limping out, a surge of complicated emotions rose within him.

"Angeline, you don't have to work so hard. Jaybie will create a Grand Asia empire and I'll hand it to you myself."

After Angeline got out of Grand Asia, she felt dispirited.

Jay breaking up with her was enough to devastate her. However, he even refused to give her this harmless collaboration for the sake of their past relationship.

How infuriating.

Angeline then thought of Cole. That guy had a cellphone microchip that was thinner than any other microchips out there. Perhaps she could seek a business opportunity with him. Angeline called Cole. When he got her call, he was ecstatic.

"Angeline, you're calling me? I'm honored!"

What Angeline said next made him jump in excitement. "Cole, are you free? Can I see you?"

Cole nodded quickly. "As long as you're the one asking, I'll definitely have time for you, Angeline."

"Alright, I'll send you the location of the place."

"Alright."

Angeline asked Cole to Ray of Light.

Cole dressed up to the nines for this 'date'.

When Angeline saw Cole striding over to her, she almost dropped the straw dangling from her lips.

Everyone looked at Cole as if he was insane. The women exclaimed like love-struck fools, "Wow, how handsome! He fulfills all the requirements to be my

dream man!"

Cole was wearing a white shirt, but there was gold dust on his suit. He looked like he was basking in a ray of golden light when he came in.

Plus, he had a warm smile on his face. It made all the girls crazy.

"Why are you dressed like this?" The corner of Angelina's lips were twitching furiously.

This guy was attracting the attention of everyone in the cafe by wearing this.

How was she going to talk business with him?

Cole lowered his head to look at his shiny clothes. He gritted his teeth. "It's all that b*stard Carson's fault. He told me you'll like it if I wear this." Angelina hid her face in her hands. She was scared someone would recognize her.

"Hey, am I embarrassing you?" Cole looked dispirited.

Angelina said, "I just don't want to get involved in any scandals."

Chapter 839

Chapter 839

Cole was hurt. "A lot of women want to have scandals with me, but I don't want to. I'm giving you the opportunity now and you're rejecting me? Angeline, a m I that horrible in your eyes?"

Angeline peered at Cole. She saw the moisture in his clear eyes that came from the hurt she gave him and eventually, she could not take this anymore.

"Cole, you're not horrible, but you and I are just not meant to be together. Do you know that fate and luck will determine the outcome of a relationship? You came too late and I've already had someone else's name tattooed on my heart. That's why I can't accept other people," Angeline said.

Cole complained, "Can you blame me? I was ten years younger than Jay when my mom gave birth to me.

That love guru swept you away when you were 18 and I was still playing in the dirt in diapers. How can I compare to him?"

Cole sighed. "Angeline, this isn't fair to me."

Angeline was sad too. "There's no fairness in love."

It was just like her and Jay. He was always the one directing where the relationship would go while she would always listen to his orders.

He liked her, so he imprisoned her with him. When he did not like her, he would simply kick her away.

Jay looked at Angeline who was looking miserable at this point. He asked in confusion, "What's so good about him?"

At that moment, Angeline did not have an answer.

If it was back then, she would be able to talk about his strong points for three days and three nights.

However, whenever she thought about his cold eyes now, she could only feel her heart break.

Cole said in anger stemming from disappointment," Angeline, if he's good to you and you're in a stable relationship, then I'll give up. However, he abandoned you and got himself a new woman. Why are you still recalling this man who hurt you and then abandoned you so fondly?"

Angeline grabbed the wine in front of her and downed its contents.

Her eyes were filled with tears. "Stop talking."

"Do you think this problem will be solved if you run away?" Cole asked.

Angeline said, "Even if I want to run, I have nowhere to run to. I just want to use time to heal the wound in my heart. I believe the beautiful and painful memories he left me will pass one day." Cole felt gratified. Suddenly, he grabbed Angeline's hand emotionally. "Angeline, you still have me. I'll stay with you forever."

Angeline retracted her hand and warned him sternly," Cole, even though he and I are finished, this doesn't mean I'll be able to accept another relationship. Some hurt will need a lifetime to heal." Cole started making a fuss. "How hilarious, Angeline. You're giving up the entire forest for one tree."

Angeline glared at him. "You don't understand."

Cole was defeated by her dumb determination. He raised his hands in defeat. "Alright, alright. I'm touched by your undying love. Did you ask me here today just to tell me these so that I'll give up?" Angeline parted her lips slightly. She wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Cole gave her a gesture to tell her to shut up. "Never mind, don't say anything. I understand. You want to cut all ties with me."

Cole stood up and downed the cocktail in front of him. Then, he looked at Angeline with his alluring eyes." I've never been so insulted by someone like this before." After he said that, he turned around and left.

A commotion broke out around her. "Is that girl stupid? She doesn't even want a loyal and handsome man like that? Did she fall on her head when she was born?"

Angeline grabbed the wine in front of her and started drinking.

She had hurt Cole so much. How would she have the nerve to talk business with him?

The Severes' bankruptcy was a fact.

Angeline might have to suffer hundreds of billions of debt. What should she do when that happened?

She was slightly tipsy when she hailed a cab. She went to the entrance of Grand Asia once again.

The sun had already set.

When Jay walked out of his office, he smelled the strong stench of alcohol.

He frowned slightly. When he saw Angeline, his brows relaxed.

"Why are you here again?" His sharp gaze scanned across her body, not even missing out her hair

She did not get any results after seeking help outside, so that was why she came back to him. She did not have another choice. Angeline looked at him stupidly. Perhaps she was now more domineering because she was riding the high after drinking alcohol. "Jay Ares, tell me. What should I do to make you let Severe Group off the hook?"

"Is this how you beg someone?" Hehe, how dare she call him by his full name? Who gave her the courage to do this?

Angeline straightened her back. She stood in front of Jay like a student who had done something wrong.

This was how she stood when she made a mistake when she was younger. Now, she was standing in this position reflexively.

"If you agree to let Severe Group off the hook, you can take my life if you want to," Angeline said firmly.

Jay's face was frigid. "Why would I want your life?"

He just wanted her to live a good life. He wanted her to live a happy and carefree life.

Angeline did not understand him. "Um... How do you want me to beg you?"

Jay looked at her nervous face. "Weren't you great at begging people back then?"

Angeline remembered how she had begged him last time and her face turned red.

She would rub herself against him shamelessly back then. They were in a great relationship before, so she could lower her ego to do that.

However, she looked at the distant look in his eyes. How could she do this to beg him again?

Jay was sitting in his wheelchair. Even though he was looking up at her, the grandeur around him gave him the prestige that made it seem like he was towering over everyone. Angeline was breathing heavily. At that moment, her brain was blank.

Suddenly, Angeline kicked Jay's wheelchair. The wheelchair rolled backward and stopped when it reached the wall.

Amid Finn's shock, Angeline pushed him out and locked the door behind her when she went back inside the room.

Finn,

Miss Angeline was so formidable.

Angeline went back into the room, approaching Jay with her eyes red.

"What are you doing?"

"Didn't you ask me to beg you like how I used to?" Angeline asked.

Jay saw the sadness in her beautiful eyes and suddenly, he understood what she meant.

"Angeline..." He wanted to stop her.

However, she approached him with a fiery passion.

It was as if he was burnt by her.

It had been too long. He had been imagining this scene for countless days and nights. Now that he was finally satisfied, he had lost his sanity.

He grabbed her back, his nails digging into her skin. He wanted to push her away, but there was another force in his body that kept on pulling him in.

There was a flash of protest in his eyes, but it was drowned by his insane possessiveness. In the end, he gave up fighting and allowed her to do whatever she wanted. They were burning with passion and desire. In the end, those feelings turned into ashes.

Angeline lifted her head to look at him. "Sir Ares, is it okay if I beg you like this?"

Jay pushed her away. "Get lost."

Angeline sat on the floor and clutched her clothes. Her aggrieved tears fell onto the floor.
