Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) -
Chapter 637
Jay's thin lips parted slightly, his intimidating voice escaped from them. "I don't agree to this marriage." Both Angeline and Josephine looked relieved.
Jack suppressed the anger in his heart. "Jay, this is your sister's marriage. It has nothing to do with you."
Jay said, "You're right, Dad. Josephine's marriage has nothing to do with me."
He turned his falcon eyes to Yumi. "Love is a game between two individuals. When there's too much parental and siblings interference, love will lose its flavor."
Both Jack and Yumi looked dreadful. Jay seemed to be implying that they were sacrificing their loved ones' marriage for profit.
"Jay, your sister isn't young anymore. It's precisely because you indulged her too much that she formed the bad habit of fooling around all day doing nothing. I can't leave Josephine under your care anymore. If this goes on, you will ruin her future." Jack had skillfully deflected the problem with this remark.
Firstly, he had slagged off Jay by saying that he did not discipline Josephine well, thus causing her to accomplish nothing.
Secondly, he held the power to decide Josephine's
marriage firmly in his hands, rejecting all objections Jay had just raised.
Jack had criticized his daughter for fooling around all day doing nothing and for accomplishing nothing in front of so many people, and this had shattered Josephine's fragile heart.
If an outsider criticized and humiliated Josephine, she would not be as sad. On the contrary, the person who just ruined her reputation was her beloved father, one could only imagine how heartbroken Josephine felt.
Tears filled her eyes immediately as she lowered her head without uttering a single word.
Jay showed no due respect for Jack's feelings at all and said, "Father, Josephine has studied abroad for many years and has worked in various industries after she returned, not once did she ever ask you or Mother for a single cent of pocket money. How did a smart, studious, diligent, and independent girl like her turn out to be someone who just fools around all day doing nothing?"
After a pause, he chuckled. "You hold high expectations for your children but treat unlearned gamblers out there as your guests. I am truly puzzled. How can a fair and honest father have such double standards?"
Jack felt ashamed after he was being rebutted by Jay.
Madam Ares mediated immediately. "Just give it a rest, Jay. Your dad is just doing it for your sister's own good. Your sister isn't young anymore, he's just introducing her to a guy so they can get to know each other. They can get married if they're suitable for each other and go separate ways if they aren't. There's really nothing to lose, don't you agree?"
Madam Ares' words carried hints of concession. At least she did not force Josephine to marry Hiroshi.
Jay knew better than to continue talking.
Yumi echoed tactfully, "Madam Ares is right. We're just worrying for nothing. Whether this will end in a good note or not depends on the two of them."
Now that the matter had been resolved, Jay was in no mood to stay on any longer.
"Let's go, Storm!"
"Yes, Sir Ares."
Storm pushed Jay away; Angeline stood rooted to the ground still stuck in a daze.
He actually remained indifferent after she put on all those blatant and shameless acts?
As someone who was always getting jealous for nothing, he had actually turned a blind eye even when he saw her dressed seductively to seduce other men. There was only one conclusion that Angeline could draw from this: Jaybie did not love her anymore.
She felt down in the dumps instantly.
She could not hear a single word that others were saying after that. It was not until Josephine ran over and dragged her out, did she regain a trace of consciousness after standing in a draught for a very long time.
When the two of them walked to the lotus pond, Josephine looked extremely worried. "Angeline, it looks like my brother is hell-bent on not recognizing you anymore. What are you going to do?"
When Angeline recalled how she had been wronged in the last two years and how all her longings were ultimately destroyed, she went berserk in an instant.
She took off the diamond hair ring, her earrings, and necklace, and threw them into the lotus pond without hesitation.
As she did so, she said furiously, "If he doesn't want me anymore, so be it, I don't want him anymore either. I bought these things with your brother's money and I don't want them now."
Josephine reached out to grab them but failed to catch them. When she saw the valuable accessories falling into the water with a splash, she felt so heartbroken and could not stop stomping her feet.
