Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1593

Chloe defended Judy, saying, "No, no, Jay, you've misunderstood Judy. Judy is actually really innocent and harmless..."

Jay retorted furiously, "Innocent and harmless? If she's really innocent and harmless, she wouldn't have sent Angeline out to be a hostage. She's selfish and narrow-minded, and you admire her simply because birds of a feather flock together."

Chloe's face turned pale. She did not know that she was such an eyesore to Jay.

Unwilling to resign to her fate, she began defending herself. "No, I had no idea Judy did this. How can you say that your mother is selfish and prejudiced?"

Jay said with bloodshot eyes, "I'm being lenient by merely calling you selfish and prejudiced. I tolerated you because you're my mother. Today, I finally realized how much my tolerance and empathy toward you has hurt Angeline."

Chloe broke down and cried. "You're always standing on her side. Has she not made a mistake before? She, a junior, has hit me twice. Am I not without dignity?"

Jay was seemingly spent. His voice was light, lifeless, and soulless.

"Bandits like you are all about taking revenge, no? You killed her, but she merely slapped you because she cares about my feelings. Had it not been for me, she wouldn't have stopped even after taking your life.

After all, you killed and disfigured her."

Chloe said, "She's perfectly fine now, isn't she? Why is she still not satisfied when you're already so good to her?"

Josephine looked at the unrepentant Chloe and said angrily, "Do you know how hard Sister Angeline tried to please you in the beginning? She snuck out the jade jewelry my brother gave her and even wore her least favorite clothes in order to cater to your demands, yet you still nitpicked at her.

"You knew that she's in poor health, yet you deliberately tortured her and made her serve your friends. You have a cook, but you made Sis Angeline cook for you and caused her to go down with a fever..." Jay's pupils dilated in shock as he listened to these chilling stories. "Are these all true?"

Chloe said, "It's only right for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother!"

Jay felt his heart clenching suddenly, the pain making every cell in his body clamor.

"Who said you could order her around? She's your daughter-in-law, not your servant," Jay roared, out of control.

"Do you know how worried I was when she was down with a fever? I can't believe you were the one who tormented her!"

Jay clutched his aching heart.

He then started laughing in despair all of a sudden." Forget it."

Chloe found her heart faltering for some reason when she saw how he chose to overlook the matter.

Grand Old Master Yorks knew just how heartbroken Jay was at the moment, hence he tried to appease him with kind words. "Your mother knows she's wrong, Jay. Forgive her." Jay's gaze fell on Grand Old Master Yorks, and his voice carried no trace of warmth. "So many of you have come to Green Plum Town to drive Angeline away. Is she that intolerable?" Grand Old Master Yorks stuttered for a very long time, unable to speak a word.

He was at fault for defending his daughter, for not stopping Chloe from bullying Angeline unscrupulously.

Jay said, "Humans have to be responsible for the mistakes they made. I was too gullible and that cost me my wife. My family that has finally reunited is now broken once more. This is my retribution."

At this point, both Grand Old Master Yorks and Chloe let out a heavy sigh. They had gotten a taste of their own medicine today. However, what they did not know was that this was not the end of their punishment.

Jay suddenly said to the children, "Children, come back to Imperial Capital with Daddy. We'll go and get Mommy back."

The children cheered.

Chloe fell off the wheelchair and crawled up to Jay, pulling his trousers while begging, "You can't go, JJ."
