Ch. 851..860

Chapter 851

Jay was extremely uncomfortable after he saw her with such an intense stare. Then, she sat down while feeling guilty.

Jay announced domineeringly, "It's decided then."

After that, he rolled his wheelchair away.

Angeline howled angrily, "Ah!"

As she released her anger this way, she tugged on her vocal cords and caused her throat to feel uncomfortable. Then, she felt nauseous again.

Jay saw her covering her mouth and running past him to the toilet. After that, he heard her vomiting non-stop.

She stayed there for a long time.

He was getting worried as he sat in his wheelchair.

Looking at her suffering, he started feeling remorseful for asking her to give birth to the child.

When it was near noon, Angeline finally dragged her exhausted and dehydrated body out from the toilet. She climbed into bed weakly and without strength.

Jay fetched her a glass of lemonade. "Do you want this?"

Angeline lay in bed, and her head was buried in the pillow. When she heard his voice, she lifted her hand

and waved. "Take it away. I don't want anything."

"You have to drink this." His voice was soft, but it was stern.

Angeline turned her head to look at him. "Can you at least take pity on me?"

Jay,

If he was not worried about her, who would want to wait on a woman who smelled bad?

"I have to be responsible for my son," he said with a straight face.

Angeline felt that she was unable to win against him. As such, she got up and downed the lemonade.

Then, she handed him the glass and said in embarrassment, "Sir Ares, I can rest here for a few days. However, can you hire someone to look after me? I don't feel good asking a cripple like you to take care of me."

Jay was attacked all of a sudden, and he felt sad all of a sudden too.

He suddenly lifted his leg and pushed Angeline's head to the pillow. Angeline could not move. Her eyes were extremely wide. "Has your leg... recovered?"

Jay said angrily, "Don't look down on a crippled person."

Then, he took the glass from her and left angrily.

Angeline sat up and crossed her legs. She looked at his back while stuck in a daze. She cursed silently, 'Is his leg recovered or not?'

If he had recovered, why was he still in a wheelchair?

If he had not recovered, then how did he lift his leg so high up just now? That was such a difficult move.

After a while, the maid pushed the trolley in. Angeline looked at the colorful food on the trolley and felt that she had lost all hope.

"I don't want these. Take them out. Take them out now."

She had a fear of eating now.

Perhaps she made too much of a commotion and it attracted Jay's attention.

Jay watched as she covered her mouth. The rejection in her eyes was evident.

He took a plate of cherries from the trolley and asked the maid to push the trolley out.

"Taste this."

Angeline shook her head and begged while sobbing," Please, stop forcing me to eat. I almost threw up all of my bile juice."

Jay was feeling very sorry for her, so he placed the plate on the table next to her.

He looked at her thinning yet stunning face and also her big eyes.

His heart trembled as he said suddenly, "Don't keep the child, then. Abort it."

Angeline lifted her head to look at him in horror. "No," she yelled loudly.

Jay closed his eyes to hide the helplessness and pain in them. "Then be a good girl and eat."

Chapter 852

Chapter 852

Angeline picked up a cherry. As she was eating it, she complained while tearing, "It's cruel and inhumane. How could you do this to a pregnant woman?"

Jay asked her, "Didn't you refrain from eating and drinking when you were pregnant with Jens and the others?"

Angeline said, "I had to escape your pursuit then. I was squatting in the rented room and never knew when my next meal was. I was very nervous then, and since my energy was always shifting, my morning sickness was not so severe."

Jay was so ashamed that he could not show his face.

Angeline, however, missed that time very much. "It wasn't like how it is now, being imprisoned by you and being forced to eat. You only care for the small issues and ignore the big ones."

She choked up as she spoke.

Jay,

It was obvious that she was the only one in his heart. He was forcing her to eat because he did not want her to become too thin.

"I'm going out this afternoon. Tell the maid what you want to eat. Don't starve... my baby." He licked his lips. Those last words were full of meaning. Angeline nodded repeatedly.

Jay saw a glimmer of expectation in her eyes... She was looking forward to him not being at home so that she could run amok.

At lunch, Angeline ate some rice for show.

Jay had hurried out after finishing his lunch.

Angeline was relieved.

She tried to find the exit of the house, but after slipping around upstairs and downstairs a few times, she could not find it.

She leaned against the window and looked outside. Outside was farmland and crops-an unfamiliar environment.

She did not know what godforsaken place Jay had caged her at.

She called for the maid. While smiling flatteringly at her, she then tried to dig for some information. "Do you know where this is?"

The maid shook her head. "I don't know. I come from another part of the country."

Angeline's mouth was wide open. Jay was too amazing.

Did he want her to live a life of isolation?

Angeline looked at the maid wickedly and could only treat her as an accomplice of Jay's, not being able to stop herself from having ill-feelings toward her.

The maid also seemed to be a senseless and talkative person as she had started talking to her a little, "Miss Severe, you're so blessed. The mister loves you so much."

Angeline looked around the cage-like castle with a sneer at the corners of her mouth.

How could anyone imprison their beloved woman in such a dark, unjust place?

Noting her silence, the maid turned around and went back to work.

Angeline simply went back to her room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep again.

Grand Asia.

As soon as Jay arrived at Imperial Capital, Grayson greeted him with a solemn expression.

"President Ares!"

Jay looked at him. "Speak."

"This incident might not be a big deal, but I think there's something unusual about it and dare not hide it," Grayson said lightly, but Jay felt as if he could sense a trace of unusualness.

Under the light of the president's eagle eyes, Grayson did not dare hesitate and said in one breath, "A few days ago, someone asked a retiree of Tourmaline

Estate about your mother's situation. Fortunately, they were a dementia patient and only shared that they had seen your mother in Tourmaline Estate. They didn't disclose anything else." Hearing this news, Jay was so shocked that he did not say a word for a long time.

Grayson said, "President Ares, maybe this is a coincidence?"

After all, there was always someone thinking of another person in this world. Did this kind of thing not happen every day?

Jay's expression was solemn.

As the Ares household was shrouded in thick fog and haze, any breeze or blade of grass could cause the time bomb to explode.

He dared not be careless.

Chapter 853

Chapter 853

"Where does the retiree live?" Jay asked.

Grayson said, "In a farmhouse in the southern suburbs of the city."

"Take me there right away."

"Yes."

Grayson drove Jay and Finn to the outskirts. On the road, Jay kept feeling his heart beating so violently. Rarely did he feel as tense as this.

"Grayson, speed up." Jay urged.

Grayson drove the car at the maximum speed, leaving with a roar.

Soon, the black tiled roof of a farmhouse came into view.

As the Rolls-Royce was parked in front of the farmhouse, rows of golden corn angled under the eaves of the roof could be seen in their field of vision.

There was a young woman with a round face, a bloated body, and a slightly bulging belly gathering corn on her toes.

Jay saw the red-faced pregnant woman, and his eagle eyes narrowed slightly.

After Grayson and Finn had gotten out of the car, Jay was still watching the young woman. He seemed to be

lost in thought.

"President Ares," Finn opened his car door and called out softly.

Jay retracted his gaze and gave Finn a strange task. "I n a moment, I want you to help me ask her carefully about what she eats during her pregnancy. Give me a careful note of everything." Jay pushed his wheelchair and went forward.

Grayson pulled Finn aside and asked, "Why did President Ares delegate such a weird task to you?"

Finn smiled and said, "Miss Severe is pregnant and can't keep anything she eats down. The president probably envies the pregnant woman's plumpness and wants to learn from her diet." Grayson was stunned. "Miss Severe is pregnant?

When did that happen? Didn't they break up?"

Finn whispered some words beside Grayson's ear and the latter practically gasped in astonishment.

He exclaimed, "Miss Severe is formidable!"

Jay saw that the two were not following him and his expression went dark. "You two still dare to discuss my business behind my back? Do you believe that I'll throw you into a club?"

Grayson and Finn were so frightened that they had broken out into a cold sweat. They lowered their heads and dared not speak anymore.

The young woman saw that there were some guests coming toward their house and called to the man in the house, "Noah, we have guests."

A charming peasant man walked out of the house wearing a black mandarin jacket. His exposed arms were tanned from the sun.

Seeing Jay and the others, Noah was taken aback for a moment before grinning and saying, "You're here. My mother's illness has just improved. I was just thinking about informing you one of these days." Jay was a little startled. Did this Noah actually mistake them for the ones before?

It seemed that those before them had not revealed their true faces!

Jay left the mistake as is. He nodded and said, "Can you take us to meet the old lady?"

Noah stretched out his hand. "Please."

Several people moved into the old lady's bedroom.

Noah began talking about his mother to them, "My mother is nearly 80 years old. While she has some dementia, her eyes and ears are pretty good."

When Jay first entered the room, the old lady was clearly calm. However, after seeing Jay, she crawled to the corner of the bed in fear while her entire body trembled. "Young master, I was wrong. I was truly wrong!"

Then, she climbed in front of Jay while sobbing, but there were no tears left in her dry eyes. "Young

Master, please forgive me. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

Jay's eagle eyes narrowed slightly. This elder must have mistaken him for his father, Jordan Ares. "Tell me, what did you do wrong?" His voice was that of when he was younger.

The old lady was a little vague with her words. "It's the secret I told the master... Huhu, I was wrong."

Chapter 854

Chapter 854

The old lady seemed to have recalled some scary scenes. There was fear in her eyes, and her entire body trembled terribly. "Miss Chloe... killed the Old Madam." Jay's whole body quivered.

If he had not heard it himself, he could never believe that his beautiful and gentle mother would... viciously harm his grandma who he had never met.

The old lady revealed some shocking information intermittently. "Old Master wanted to kill Miss Chloe in a fit of rage, but Miss Chloe... She was a demon reincarnate... I was afraid that she'd hurt the old master, so I drugged her... but I took the wrong drug..."

"I'm sorry, Young Master. It was entirely my fault..."

Noah saw that his mother was shaken and quickly stopped Jay. "Mister, please don't ask my mother any more questions. Her body's in a very bad condition, can you spare her?"

Jay looked at the withered old lady and nodded." Okay."

He could almost guess what happened in the rest of the story.

His grandfather and mother's one-night stand turned out not to be of his grandfather's wish.

Furthermore, his mother so viciously killed his grandmother. She most probably was not a good person.

Associating his mother's surname with the information that Grayson found, Jay linked his mother, Chloe Yorks, to the Doomsday Commander, Noel Yorks.

When Grayson pushed Jay out, Finn and the young woman were chatting happily.

"Mister, your wife is so lucky," the young woman said enviously.

Finn was very embarrassed, but he could not reveal his identity, so he thanked her and left.

Jay sat in the car, but he looked back at the farmhouse and ordered Grayson, "Send someone to monitor the health of the retired old lady round the clock. And look out for any unusual people approaching her." "Yes, President Ares," Grayson said.

Finn handed his notebook to President Ares.

"President Ares, that farmhouse lady said to do more work so that one can eat anything when hungry. She also said that... morning sickness and the likes are all faults brought about from pampering."

Jay nodded.

It was already the dead of the night when they returned to Anonymous Castle.

The maid reported to Jay about Angelina's condition during the daytime, "She ate very little and was sleeping most of the time. Oh, and she asked me where this was. It seemed like she was looking for the castle's exit."

"Okay, noted." Jay went upstairs.

The light in Angelina's room was still on and there was a crack at the door.

Through the crack, Jay saw her sprawled on the bed that was spread with A4 papers. Every paper was packed densely with lines of words.

Jay pushed the door open and entered. He picked up a paper that had fallen to the ground, and upon a careful look, it turned out to be a sales proposal that she wrote.

She used humorous and interesting slogans to promote Severe Enterprise's product performance and advantages, which was quite original.

Angeline stopped writing and looked at him.

Jay placed the sheet of paper on the bed casually, looking disinterested.

Disappointment flashed in Angelina's eyes.

"Sir Ares, what do you think of the proposal I wrote?" she asked modestly.

"Too exaggerated," he said matter-of-factly.

Angeline was displeased. "It's good that you don't like it. This way, I can prove that my proposal meets the public's taste."

Jay,

Was this an ironic insinuation that he had no public taste?

Jay naturally could not let this girl gain the upper hand. After all, he was a male chauvinistic pig and it would be shameful if he lost to a woman.

Chapter 855

Chapter 855

"Your sales plan, is it to sell to the working masses who are suffering?"

Angeline,

"Shouldn't this plan be showcased to us big shots who hold the power over the life or death of Severe Enterprise?" Jay asked as if it was no big deal. Angeline was speechless.

Jay glanced at her indifferently. Seeing her frowning in frustration, he once again realized that his desire to win was too much.

Thus, he was stung by his conscience and changed the topic of conversation. "I heard you were looking for the exit during the day?"

He was also afraid that she would be too bored.

Angeline wanted to escape during the day, but she had changed her mind. The reason why she wanted to get out was only to promote the Severe family's products.

Instead of running around begging others for help, it was better for her to serve this bankroller here... She would pester Jay every day by enthusiastically recommending Severe Enterprise's products. Once he was fed up with her, he would either let her out or accept her sale.

This was killing two birds with one stone, so why would she not be happy about it?

Angeline picked up her clumsy plan and tore it into pieces.

Since the bankroller Jay had looked down on her plan, then this plan had no value at all.

"What are you doing?" Jay frowned.

Angeline said, "You're right. My target audience is vicious and greedy capitalists like you, so naturally, I can't be so petty. I'll think of a new plan."

She grinned suddenly, revealing a neat row of white rabbit teeth.

How could Jay be willing to let Angeline work so hard? "Why the hassle? I'm right in front of you. You can just tell me your plan."

Angeline's eyes were filled with a shrewd smile." Okay."

Only then did Jay realize that he had been tricked by this girl again.

He had actually unconsciously given her a chance.

"It's already late tonight. Let's do it tomorrow." He did not want to disturb her sleep.

As he turned around, however, a small hand pulled his wheelchair stubbornly. Then, he heard her brazen voice, "Sir Ares, you were busy during the day and I wasn't able to see you. Why not do it now?" A gentle warmth overflowed from his eyes.

Had he not accompanied her for half the day already?

"I promise to make time for you tomorrow. Sleep well tonight. Otherwise, if you report the plan tomorrow whilst your mind is not clear, don't blame me for not acknowledging it."

Angeline quickly withdrew her hand, fell onto the bed, and lay down obediently after pulling up the bedding.

Jay turned off the wall lamp for her when he left.

Angeline stared at the ceiling. Tomorrow, she needed to perform well and give him a stunning plan no matter what.

Thinking of the crucial moment tomorrow, she started to conceive the plan in her mind. It was not until dawn that she took a nap.

During breakfast, Jay saw the huge bags underneath her eyes, and his eyes were filled with worry. Did she not sleep well last night? "Sir Ares," Angeline greeted him joyfully.

"Mhm."

He pushed the goat's milk to her. "Drink this."

Angeline smelled the goat's milk and felt her stomach begin to grumble loudly again.

She quickly covered her nose. "Can I not drink this?"

Jay said, "You must drink it for the kid in your

stomach."

He put Finn's pregnant lady's diet notes before her and announced, "Starting today, you'll try to eat according to this." Angeline saw that it said to drink milk three times a day, have two proper meals, and two bowls of rice... She was suddenly dumbfounded. "Are you rearing a pig?" Angeline was very frustrated.

Jay nodded. "You're right. I want you to gain a more suitable weight during your pregnancy."

Angeline said angrily, "Sir Ares, you might as well give me a few hormone pills. I assure you, I'll be healthier than a pig."

Chapter 856

Chapter 856

Jay looked at her angry face. He retrieved the diet notes and looked at them carefully.

Uh, even he thought that this portion was a little big. After all, a large person like him could not even eat this much...

Angelina said furiously, "Anyway, I won't eat this much."

She put on a tragic and desperate expression.

Seeing this, Jay could only compromise. "Eat your breakfast first."

Angelina looked at the soy milk in his hand. "I wanna drink soy milk."

"I already drank it," he said.

"Didn't we kiss many times before? I don't mind," Angeline said.

Jay,"..."

Jay pushed his glass of soy milk to her while Angelina handed him the goat's milk.

Angeline kept thinking about reporting her plan to him. As such, she quickly finished the soy milk in one gulp. Then, she said to Jay with a sincere expression," Sir Ares, can I report my plan to you now?" Jay glanced at the untouched steak on her plate with

a dark expression.

"We'll talk after breakfast."

Angeline was exasperated.

She then shoveled the steak into her mouth, but before she could even shovel everything down, Jay had already finished eating.

Seeing that he was about to leave, she rushed over and grabbed his wheelchair. "Sir Ares, you promised me that you'll take the time to listen to my report today."

At this moment, Finn came over and whispered a few words into Jay's ear.

Jay's expression immediately sank.

"Angeline, I'll be back later to listen to your report," he said.

Angeline would not let go, however. She begged, "Sir Ares, the wives, children, and parents of Severe Enterprise's employees are waiting for me to feed them." Finn could not help but laugh.

Jay lifted Angeline's thin chin up. "Don't think of yourself as the savior of the world. Eat well and take care of your body. Otherwise, you won't be able to save even yourself." He pried her fingers off one by one, but she threw herself on his lap and hugged his thigh tightly.

"Sir Ares, if I can exchange my life for Severe

Enterprise's revival, I'm willing to die."

Jay,

Finn saw President Ares' nearly constipated look but did not dare to laugh.

Only Miss Severe would dare act so wildly toward President Ares.

This scene of Angeline laying her body on his lap would easily make others find it dirty.

Jay looked askance at Finn fiercely. "Get out."

Finn had a helpless expression but got out quickly.

"Angeline, do you want to serve me?"

Angeline lifted her head up suddenly as her eyes swept over Jay's evil, charming smile. Her face instantly flushed red like a baboon's butt.

She stood up hastily and turned her back toward him i n embarrassment.

After she had regulated her emotions and turned her head around, Jay already disappeared.

Angeline kicked the leg of the dining table in anger." Liar! Big fat liar! I knew you were stalling me."

Jay heard her painful wailing and complaining, a gentle smile filling his eyes.

After Jay went downstairs, Finn took out an invitation card from his arms and handed it to Jay.

"President Ares, look. This is an invitation to the wedding between the Severe family and the Titus family. Miss Severe is now the person in charge of Severe Group. If she doesn't show up on the day of Seth Severe and Yumi Titus' wedding, I'm afraid there'll be many unfavorable opinions of her."

Chapter 857

Chapter 857

Jay's gaze fell on the time on the invitation card and h e squinted slightly. "It seems that I must let her out."

Finn said, "President Ares, I heard some rumors that the Titus family will use this wedding to intentionally embarrass the Severe family and have the Severe family lose public conviction. If the Titus family's strategy is successful, the Severe family's situation will be even worse."

Jay held the invitation card in the palm of his hand and squeezed it tightly. His thin lips made a wicked sneer. "Yosemite Titus thinks that he can hold a grand and magnificent wedding for his daughter because his big family owns a big business. He thinks that since the Severe family is now poverty-stricken that they can only be at his mercy. If he wants to put the Severe family on the spot, he has to ask me whether I give my permission or not."

Finn had guessed that President Ares would not stand idly by for this matter.

Jay said, "Angeline is in charge of Severe Enterprise and is bound to the enterprise for better or for worse. How can I let a lowly Titus Enterprise humiliate her?

"Finn, go and find out the Titus family's criteria for marrying their daughter. We'll help the Severe family prepare this wedding at double the price."

Finn smiled and said, "If President Ares helps Severe Enterprise win this battle, then the outside world will see Severe Enterprise's solid strength. By the time, the Titus family would have suffered a double loss."

Jay took the invitation card and went back upstairs. Angeline was sitting on the living room sofa, muttering to herself angrily, "Jay Ares, disgusting-"

Unable to suppress the strong nausea, she vomited after calling out Jay's name, making Jay, who had come over quietly from behind her, frown.

If he did not know that she was pregnant, he would have thought she was disgusted by him.

"Jay Ares, you're ruthless, you're cold, and you're inhuman." Angeline enumerated Jay's offenses," You're a big capitalist who eats big fish and meat but won't even give soup to other companies. Aren't you afraid of eating too much and being stuffed too full?"

"When was I ruthless, cold, and inhuman?" A faint voice rang abruptly from behind her, making Angeline shrink like a quail in fright.

"Sir Ares, you... Didn't you leave? Why are you back again?" Angeline stammered.

Jay said, "I was about to leave, but I kept thinking about what I promised you yesterday, so I came back."

Angeline was immediately grateful to him. "Sir Ares, you're so honest and credible."

Jay looked at Angeline who had turned tables faster than turning pages of a book. He said with a long face, "Since I'm so cold, ruthless, and inhuman in your eyes, I don't think I need to adhere to any issues related to integrity."

Angeline was regretting her actions so much that she just wanted to bite off her tongue that caused her this trouble.

"Sir Ares, I was wrong," Angeline begged for mercy with a bitter expression.

However, Jay merely turned his wheelchair around and left.

Angeline hurried to his wheelchair and blocked his way.

This time, she switched to sadfishing. "Sir Ares, I stayed up all night to come up with this plan. At any rate, shouldn't you still listen to my plan?"

Stayed up all night?

Jay's handsome face was cold. This girl really pissed him off.

His gaze fell onto her skinny oval face as he said coldly, "Angeline Severe, did you heed my words?"

Angeline thought for a long time before remembering that this guy had told her to sleep well yesterday.

"Sir Ares, I know you hate it that your son didn't get a good rest."

She patted her tummy before continuing, "But don't you worry, he slept well last night. I didn't disturb him at all. I just lay motionless thinking about the plan. I didn't even turn my body over." Jay propped his forehead with one hand and nearly fainted with rage.

He gave up on continuing the discussion of this meaningless topic with her, so he threw the invitation card in front of her.

Angeline picked it up and took a closer look. Then, she suddenly leaped up from the sofa.

"What? Seth and Yumi are going to get married?"

Jay asked her, "What do you have in mind?"

He hoped she had a simple mind, not knowing the ways of the world.

Chapter 858

Chapter 858

However, Angeline's expression immediately became dismayed. She heaved a deep sigh and said, "The Titus family will surely organize a grand and magnificent wedding for their daughter. But we, the Severe family... Even now we must be frugal with our three meals. I'm afraid this wedding will be so shabby that it'll make people laugh. At that time, everyone will know that Severe Enterprise has no domestic demand. Who would dare do business with us?"

Jay made a sarcastic remark, "Your younger brother has looked like a boy toy since he was young. It's not worthwhile for the Severe family to pay for his marriage. Besides, Yumi Titus is already an old maid. She should be the one to pay." 1

Angelina,"..."

She said angrily, "What's this? You're saying that my brother is being kept as a lover by a rich old woman?"

Then, she faltered from a lack of confidence. " Although it's true, just because he's shameless doesn't mean the Severe family is shameless!"

Jay said, "Okay, if you don't want your brother to be a laughing stock, then how are you going to prepare this wedding for him? I heard that the Titus family will spend ten billion dollars for the ceremony. After all, Yumi is the future heir of the Titus family."

Angeline's beautiful face quivered a little, but she announced majestically, "Then the Severe family will spend double for this marriage."

Jay nodded. She did have a tacit understanding with him!

"That'll be 20 billion dollars. Can the Severe family still fork out 20 billion? I remember you guys even sold your ancestral house to me."

Angeline was filled with anger when she saw his mean face.

"It's just 20 billion, it's no big deal... I'll sell myself to earn the money," she said the last few words without confidence.

Jay's hawk eyes were icy. "Who are you going to sell yourself to? Me?"

Angeline saw that he had seen through her idea and her conceited heart started causing trouble.

"Why should I hang onto your dirty neck? There are so many proper rich kids out there. With my looks, the number of people who like me would be enough to circle Imperial Capital a few times over." "If that's the case, please go ahead."

Angeline instantly lost her confidence. She had just said it for fun.

"Sir Ares, there's no time. Can you lend me some money?"

Jay hooked his finger in the air at her.

Angeline impatiently moved closer to him like a puppy.

Jay said, "After signing the contract, I'll give you lots of money."

"What contract?" Angeline was stunned.

Jay said, "It's in the printer in the study. Go and take it out."

Angeline went to the study and took out the contract that had just been printed. Looking at the contents of the contract, it was simply... Her knowledge was completely shaken up by his world views. "You want me to be your mistress?

"You'll pay me five billion every month?

"I have to be at your beck and call? I can't ever reveal our contractual relationship in front of an outsider?"

Angeline stood in front of Jay and examined his handsomely molded face.

He was cold, self-restraining, and clean.

She never would have thought that he was a gentleman before everyone but a refined rascal behind everyone's back.

Angeline sighed internally and said, "I really didn't expect you to become such a person one day."

Jay saw her contempt for him in her eyes and frowned unhappily. "What kind of person?" "A person who looks like a human but behaves like a beast!" Angeline gritted her teeth.

Jay was angry. He gripped her chin tightly and retaliated. "What about you? Aren't you also willing to serve me for the sake of Severe Enterprise?"

After speaking, her gaze fell onto her belly, which was the evidence of her unruly behavior.

Chapter 859

Chapter 859

Angeline was pissed off. "I don't agree to be your mistress. Screw you, it's too insulting."

She was so angry that she swore.

Jay looked at her aggrieved face. He knew that doing so would hurt her self-esteem.

However, he could only use this contractual relationship to get what he wanted and to ensure her safety.

"You don't want the money?" he said enticingly.

She said sulkily, "I don't want it anymore. Anyway, the Severe family is already on the verge of bankruptcy. What could be worse than now?"

A smile appeared in Jay's eyes.

"Didn't you say that you'd sleep with many men the other day? So, why not another one?" He half-joked.

Angeline gritted her teeth and glared at him fiercely. Her gaze was so fierce as though she wanted to eat him up.

"My choice in bed partners also depends on the person."

Then, she swept her gaze across Jay with disdain and deliberately gave him the cold-shoulder. "An elderly man like yourself with inconvenient legs is not my cup of tea."

Jay,

Elderly man... Was he really that old?

"After signing the contract, I'll give the Severe family a way out." He tried coaxing.

Angelina's eyes shone. "Can you change the term from mistress to lover?"

"No, I can't." He rejected it decisively.

"Am I that much of a disgrace?" Angeline's voice was filled with acridity.

Jay felt a pain in his heart. "You know businessmen like us must maintain a good public image on the outside."

Angeline did not speak anymore. "Let me consider it." She sounded downhearted.

Angeline returned to her bedroom in disappointment and sat on the bed in a daze.

He had asked her to be his mistress because he must be thinking of getting another wife.

Angeline felt a terrible pain in her heart just thinking about this and her tears fell generously.

It was just that Angeline was too persistent with this emotion and was not willing to give up easily.

She held her belly gently and secretly thought of trying hard for the child.

Maybe he would regret it and change his mind one day?

Jay's wheelchair was stuck at the door. His affectionless voice sounded faintly, "Angeline, I won't force you. Just forget it if you don't want to." Although he was very disappointed on the inside, he did not want to see her sad.

However, Angeline calmly walked up to him and announced, "I want to."

Jay looked at her with a firm light glowing in his dark orbs.

"Then let's sign it!" It was hard to hide the joy in his eyes.

Angeline went out and signed the contract.

Then, she handed the pen to Jay who took it over...

At this moment, Finn ran up in a panic. As he was in a hurry, he staggered and fell on the stone steps of the stairs.

Jay's hand that was holding the pen came to a slight stop. His gaze fell on Finn who had crawled out and his hawk eyes squinted.

"President Ares, it's not good." Finn's face was white as a sheet, and because he was in such a hurry, he did not notice Angeline. "Something bad has happened to the retiree of

Tourmaline Estate."

Jay was a little mad. "Didn't I tell you guys to keep an eye on her?"

Finn said, "President Ares, this matter is too strange."

Jay glanced at the bewildered Angeline and stopped Finn. "We'll talk about it later."

Finn and Jay then left in a hurry.

Angeline sat on the sofa restlessly.

Chapter 860

Chapter 860

Was Jay hiding something from her?

She had never seen him this panicked before!

Furthermore, Finn, who was usually calm, was so shocked that he could not even walk stably.

What sort of terrible thing had happened?

Jay listened to Finn's explanation with a cold expression whilst inside the Rolls-Royce.

"Our people were watching the farmhouse 24/7. Last night, they saw 12 helicopters suddenly appearing in the sky. The helicopters were closely monitored, and they hovered for about ten minutes before leaving.

"At that time, our people noticed something unusual. When they broke into the farmhouse, they found out that the family had disappeared."

Finn paused a little. "President Ares, our people found two red letters 'DF' on the door."

Jay hesitated slightly. "DF?"

Shock appeared in his eyes abruptly. "Die four!"

Finn's expression changed. "That family, including the baby in the pregnant lady, happens to be four people."

"Where are our people?" Jay questioned sternly.

Finn said fearfully, "Our people already withdrew after

the house was emptied out."

Jay's handsome face suddenly turned dark. "To the farmhouse right away."

"Yes."

The Rolls-Royce dashed down the driveway, making a low roar while picking up dust.

When the Rolls-Royce finally arrived at the farmhouse, Finn parked the car at the intersection.

Several public officials were carrying three bodies out from the house, placing them neatly in the yard. The bodies were covered with white sheets. Finn was dumbfounded. "President Ares, we're too late."

Jay's face was a little pale.

Finn pushed Jay into the farmhouse. A public official who was acquainted with Jay immediately greeted him.

"Master Ares, why are you here?"

"The old lady who lives here is a retired employee of Tourmaline Estate. I came to see her on behalf of my grandpa," Jay said without missing a beat. "The family of four are all dead. It's a pity," the person said sympathetically.

"How did they die?" Jay suppressed the tremor in his heart and asked.

"The old lady was exsanguinated. The wall was written full of 'I'm sorry' with her blood. Her son and daughter-in-law were hacked to death.

"None of the living creatures in the yard were spared. Not even the livestock."

The person was not exaggerating. Jay saw dead cockroaches and dead ants under his feet... Suddenly, he felt a slight chill running across his back.

"Can I see the old lady?" Jay felt that the old lady's death was related to her betrayal of Chloe Yorks. He wanted to see if the killer had left any traces on her. "Go ahead."

Jay went to the corpses and uncovered the white sheet on each body. The man and pregnant lady seemed to have died peacefully as though they had died in their sleep. On the other hand, the old lady...

As soon as Jay uncovered the white sheet, he was so shocked that his hand slipped. He ended up tossing the white sheet.

The old lady's death could only be described as extremely tragic.

Jay stared at the old lady's body and suddenly remembered his equally tragic grandma.

After observing the corpse, Jay asked his old friend again, "Were there any clues?"

The public official handed him a ring. "Found this on the scene. We don't know if it was left behind by the murderer or whether it belonged to this family."

Jay's sharp, hawk-like gaze was fixed on the ring as he looked at its complex, layered design. He was certain that there was something in it.

He put on the non-marking gloves that Finn had handed over and took the ring. Under careful examination, he finally found the mechanism and pressed the retractable button. Inside was a row of gear structures, engraved with the alphabet Q!

This ring was a hidden weapon.
