Half an hour later.

Cole heard the alarm blaring from the tracking system in Angeline's phone.

However, when he found the phone that had been abandoned in a park, he could not see Angeline at all.

He had no choice but to admit that Angeline had successfully escaped him.

A bright smile surfaced on his handsome face. "Excellent, Angeline Severe. You have successfully attracted my attention. Don't ever think of escaping me anymore in this life."

Angeline felt giddy with joy after she successfully escaped Cole Yorks.

"I could even escape Jay Ares' grasp. What are you compared to him?"

Angeline hailed a taxi and returned to the Severe household in Swallow City.

When the taxi driver pulled to a stop at the door, Angeline said, "Wait for me, I'll go get money."

Then, she turned and ran toward the large courtyard in the Severe household.

"Grandpa, Mom, I'm home."

Angeline stopped in her tracks, dumbfounded when

she saw the regal man sitting on the couch in the living room.

Cole Yorks sat on the sofa, a pot of tea on the coffee table before him. The aroma told her that it was her grandfather's collection of loose leaf tea.

Cole gazed smilingly at her. His bright, luminous eyes gazed at her affectionately.

Angeline stumbled and nearly toppled over onto the floor.

"Why are you always wherever I go?"

Cole put his feet up. He seemed as comfortable as if he was in his own house.

"I told you, you can't escape from my palm."

Angeline suddenly realized that she was in deep trouble. She looked nervously at Old Master Severe.

As expected, Old Master Severe had a gloomy expression on his face. He said angrily, "Get over here. Down on your knees."

A miserable expression came over Angeline's pretty face. "Grandpa, there are outsiders here. Save me some face."

She was already an adult, but her grandfather was still treating her like a child.

Cole seemed right at home. "I'm not an outsider."

Angeline glared at him. "Can't you read the room?

Shut up."

The expression on Old Master Severe's face grew even frostier. Angeline could tell that there was no escaping her punishment today.

She trembled as she kneeled. Old Master Severe lost his temper. "Tell me, where have you been for the past ten days? Did you know how worried we were for you? Did you know Ja-" Angeline raised her head abruptly, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

However, Old Master Severe immediately changed his sentence and said vehemently, "The Severe family is falling in its fortune because your father and brother don't have a knack for doing business. As for you, you're a prodigy in this, but you're preoccupied with your own love life. Do you all have an agenda to ensure that I can't die peacefully?"

Tears streamed down Angeline's face as she wept from shame.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry."

Angeline knew how much effort Old Master Severe had put into her.

The higher the hopes he had for her, the larger the disappointment he felt in her today.

Before this, Angeline had spent all her time with Jay and did not give any thought to business. However, now that she had been hurt all over by Jay, all her precious memories seemed to be childish when she recalled them.

Angeline straightened her back and said in seriousness, "Grandpa, don't worry. I'll revive the Severe family."
