Moreover, the reason she rejected him was that becoming a daughter-in-law of the Yorks family was a terrible thing?

Grand Old Master Yorks instantly realized that even though the Yorks had an abundance of wealth and mountains of gold, and no matter how great of a guy Cole was, everything hardly mattered. Mrs. Yorks, Angeline, and even Shirley had never gotten the proper treatment they deserved for being daughters-in-law of the Yorks family.

How would such a family be able to attract any woman?

After Francis had left the scene, Grand Old Master Yorks walked toward Cole in despair.

"Don't be in dismay, Cole. There are plenty of well-educated and good-mannered women in Imperial Capital. Even if Shirley doesn't want you, there'll be other women who do." Perhaps he could sense his darling grandson's weak frame of mind, so Grand Old Master Yorks tried comforting him.

Cole smiled bitterly. "You heard it yourself, Grandpa. Shirley despises me. Are you in disbelief? Haha, why would any smart woman ever want to marry into the Yorks family anyway? For those lively, beautiful, and

assertive women, the Yorks is akin to a tomb for the living dead."

Grand Old Master Yorks said furiously, "Nonsense. Isn't your Aunt Sandra living quite splendidly by your father's side? Moreover, a pretty girl like Judy is looking forward to marrying a Yorks and becoming one of our daughters-in-law."

Cole glanced at Grand Old Master Yorks and said, "Are you sure that Aunt Sandra loves Dad and not Dad's wealth? And do you actually believe that Judy's personality is profound when compared with Angeline's?"

Grand Old Master Yorks stopped talking altogether.

Cole smiled bitterly in despair. "Forget it. I have no plans of getting married in my lifetime anyway."

After speaking, Cole staggered as he left the corridor.

Grand Old Master Yorks was immensely wounded. He never thought that the mundane Shirley Severe would ever turn her back on the Yorks. This was a fact that shook him to the core. Downstairs, Judy was pushing Chloe's wheelchair while searching for Lady Severe.

When they found her, Lady Severe did not bother giving her the time of day. Chloe felt uncomfortable, but she was dying to get information on Jay. As such, she could merely ask Lady Severe in a low voice, "Do you have Angeline's contact information?"

Lady Severe sneered at her, "Haven't you tortured my daughter enough by now? What for? Do you want to continue harassing her?"

Chloe was no longer like in her former days. Her expression had become somewhat dispirited now. "I merely want to know how Jay is doing and ask him when he's coming home."

Lady Severe scoffed. "Even if I do have it, you'll be the last to know. If I tell you, you'll just run off to harass my dear Angeline, making her wish she were dead. So why would I tell you anything?"

Chloe's expression turned distorted, and her emotions suddenly went out of control. She finally snapped at Lady Severe. "So, you do have ways to contact Angeline? Right? Your daughter is cruel. She's able to call home and comfort your loneliness, but why is she stopping Jay from getting in touch with me?"

Lady Severe could understand a mother's worry, so she no longer tried to conceal it and told her the truth. "My child hasn't been in contact with me for a long time."

"You're lying." Chloe missed her son too much and subconsciously refused to accept such an unhelpful answer.

She was making a ruckus in the back courtyard and soon attracted a crowd.

The psychologist from Grand Asia Hospital happened to be in the Severes' house and took the initiative to step forward to explain. "When Miss Angeline left the hospital, her anxiety and clinical depression were already at a severe level. Her body weighed less than 8 0 pounds and her situation was further complicated by gastrointestinal reactions. She vomited out anything she ate and had severe anorexia. We were out of options for patients like her. Otherwise, Mr. Ares wouldn't have taken her away."

Hearing such terrible news, Lady Severe almost fainted to the ground. She glared at Chloe and dashed toward her desperately. "Give me back my daughter!"

"If something were to happen to my daughter, you'll pay for it with your own life, Chloe Yorks."
