Angeline stood in front of the mirror. While looking at her haggard and skinny self, her eyes started to wet with tears.

When Jay had desperately chased after her cab earlier, she almost ran out to him without a second thought. Now that she thought about it, she felt afraid. If he were to see her in this state, imagine how sad he would be?

Her phone started vibrating continuously, and Angeline was stunned. She stared at the phone on the bed in a daze.

They were definitely text messages from Jaybie.

When he called her earlier, she heard how hoarse his voice was, and the way he was desperately suppressing his emotions made her unable to listen. She had already been drenched in tears. How could she continue to listen to his voice?

Angeline slowly walked toward the bed and picked up the phone to look at her text messages.

However, Angeline's face turned pale when she saw the contents.

The text messages were all from Chloe. The words she used were vicious and sharp, filled with all kinds of

personal attacks against her.

She was accusing Angeline of destroying their mother-son relationship.

She was even insulting Angeline for seducing Jay.

In the last text, Chloe reprimanded Angeline with much rage. [If you still have a bit of conscience, then you'll stop being a burden to my Jay and making him pay the bill for that sickly body of yours.] Angelina's hand started trembling as she held the phone. Then, her whole body shivered as well.

Suddenly, she threw the phone onto the wall like a madwoman, and the phone suddenly shattered into pieces.

When Mrs. Yorks and Shirley heard Angeline's meltdown, their faces paled in fright. Shirley dragged herself to Angeline's bedroom door and slammed on it while shouting, "Little Angeline, come on out. You being this way will only frighten us."

Angeline just wanted to shut herself inside the room stubbornly without having any contact with the outside world. However, her last trace of reasoning told her that Sis Shirley had just given birth, so it was not the time to make her worry even more.

She opened the door and forced a smile at Sis Shirley. Her initial plan was to stop Sis Shirley from worrying about her, but her current smile was even more hideous than her cries.

Shirley hugged her and wept bitterly. "Little Angeline, I know you're in pain. Please cry it out when you have to and don't try to keep it in, okay?"

Angeline instead tried to console her. Tm fine, Sis Shirley. I truly am. It's just that when I saw Chloe's text messages, I smashed the phone out of anger."

The good-tempered Shirley was now fuming. "Why did that wretched old woman text you? What did she say? Did she insult you again?"

Angeline replied in frustration, "Of course, she did. She's never sweet with her words around me. But in the end, I can only blame myself for not being strong enough. That's why my mood is so easily affected by her."

Mrs. Yorks was fuming as well. "Angeline's life is tough enough as it is. She has almost isolated herself from the outside world just to avoid her. Why is Chloe Yorks still haunting her? Is she a reincarnation of the devil? I'm so mad right now."

Mrs. Yorks took her phone out as she spoke and angrily dialed a phone number.

Then, Cole's cheerful voice could be heard on the other line. "Mom, where are you? I heard you've returned to Imperial Capital, and my cousin has been looking everywhere for Angeline-"

Mrs. Yorks furiously yelled out, "Where's Chloe Yorks?

Put her on the phone."

Cole was slightly startled as his mother was very rarely this uncalm, and she seldom got angry. He quickly turned on the loudspeaker function and made a silent gesture to the people around him. "Did Aunt Chloe make you angry?" Cole asked tentatively.
