Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1655

Grand Old Master Severe's body started trembling, and he suddenly slammed his cane to the ground fiercely before howling to the sky. "Heavens, just how much did our dear Angeline suffer? How did such a resilient and strong child end up like this?"

George's eyes appeared bloodshot as he glared at the Yorks resentfully. He clenched his fists and furiously exclaimed, "All of you with the surname Yorks, how dare you people show your faces in the Severe household? Get out, all of you."

The guests started pointing at Chloe and whispered, "S o she's Angeline's mother-in-law, what an evil person! She pushed the lively and cheerful Angeline to the edge."

"Exactly. Just take a look at her. She doesn't seem very easy to deal with too. Angeline's so unfortunate to get such a vicious mother-in-law."

"Lady Severe is truly the gentle and kind one. That's why her daughter is so well-mannered. If it were any other younger daughter-in-law, they would never have been able to withstand such a wicked mother-in law. If it were my daughter getting such treatment, I would've brutally beaten her up."

Chloe had never been subjected to such insults all her life. Her eyes turned scarlet from anger, and she ferociously glared at Lady Severe.

"Do you really believe that your daughter is good-tempered? She has hit me as well. If anyone is interested, by all means, take that vicious daughter-in-law into their household—"

Smack...

There were five prints on Chloe's cheeks. The one who slapped her was none other than Grand Old Master Yorks.

Chloe held onto her burning face and looked at the father who had spoiled her regardless of the circumstances in the past. She was in disbelief. "Did you just hit me, Dad?"

Grand Old Master Yorks said bitterly, "Enough is enough, Chloe. Angeline has already ended up like this. You should stop this."

Grand Old Master Yorks walked tremblingly toward Grand Old Master Severe and proceeded to kneel in front of him. He sincerely said, "Scott, I've failed in my daughter's upbringing. That's why she has the nerve to harm Angeline. Please take it out on me if there's any anger in your heart."

Grand Old Master Severe looked at Grand Old Master Yorks. A touch of astonishment filled his eyes. After all, in his eyes, Grand Old Master Yorks was an unruly person who would never admit defeat. Yet, he was now on his knees.

That only showed how much he realized he was wrong.

Grand Old Master Ares came forth to help smooth things over, and every one of his words carried enormous weight and loftiness. "I watched Angeline grow up before my eyes. She's kind-hearted, gentle, yet strong. And she's the Ares family's best daughter-! n-law. Now that Angeline is sick, I'm very much mournful and want to seek justice for her sake. But after what's said and done, we're all family, and everyone's the loser in a family feud. So let's put the past behind us, and whoever speaks ill of Angeline in the future, I will no longer tolerate it. Once Angeline returns, she will be the person in charge of the Ares family. Anyone stubborn enough to go against her, go ahead. You'll soon know the consequences for it."

Grand Old Master Ares only spoke of good things about Angeline the entire time.

When he said that Angeline was the Ares family's best daughter-in-law, the implied meaning was to clarify how much Chloe was in the wrong in the dispute between her and Angeline.

As Chloe had been so publicly determined to be the loser in the overall situation, for someone who was sensitive about losing prestige, it felt like she was now thoroughly discredited.

Grand Old Master Ares even went as far as to announce that Angeline would be the person in charge of the Ares family, which was tantamount to letting the Severes know that Angeline could control her vile mother-in-law without worries in the future. Chloe could no longer further suppress her.

Grand Old Master Ares' strategy had managed to appease the Severe family's anger.

However, Chloe was miserable, so she said to Judy with a cold expression, "Let's go."

Spencer and Cole held Grand Old Master Yorks up. Grand Old Master Yorks then bade farewell to Grand Old Master Severe. "We'll be taking off now, Scott."

Scott did not try to make them stick around.

As soon as Grand Old Master Yorks got into the car, he could hear Chloe's angry complaints. "Let's go back to Yorks Stronghold, Dad. Imperial Capital doesn't seem to welcome us, so why should we stay here, accepting all these hostilities?"

Grand Old Master Yorks sneered, "Your father-in-law has obviously and openly chosen to stand on Angeline's side today. Is that why you're so angry?"
