Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 718

Old Master Severe said angrily, "It's not enough if you only have the ambition. You have to spend the time and effort in managing the Severe family's company. Today, our biggest competitor is Bell Enterprise. They have severely reduced our market. You have to think of ways to attract our customers back to us and get the company back on track step by step."

Angeline knew that her bad track record was the reason her grandfather did not have faith in her ambition. As such, she straightened her back and asked for instructions from Old Master Severe." Grandpa, give me a goal. I promise that I'll achieve it."

When Old Master Severe realized that she was being serious, he said, "Two years. I want you to resume the production of smart chips within the Severe family. Also, dethrone Ares Enterprises as the leader in this field."

Angeline sneaked a look at Cole who was sitting relaxedly and thought to herself, 'The chip in this man's phone is so much more advanced than the one produced by Ares Enterprises. Ares Enterprises has long since lost its throne.'

Angeline said with conviction, "I promise that I'll accomplish this mission."

Only then did Old Master Severe relax his brows.

Just then, the taxi driver ran in and shouted, "Miss, where's the fee that you owe me?"

The expression on Old Master Severe's face turned gloomy again.

"How dare you owe a cab fee? Do you know how that would make me sound if word got out?"

As he finished speaking, he raised his hand to slap Angeline, but Cole reached out and blocked his way. Smiling, he said, "I'll settle this."

He walked over to the driver. "How much?"

"200 dollars," the driver replied.

Cole gave him a stack of cash. "Miss Severe is an eminent person with a short memory. She didn't mean to owe you any money. Watch your mouth, and don't say anything that you aren't supposed to." The driver nodded happily as he received the generous compensation. "Yes, yes. I'll make sure of that."

After the cab driver was sent away, Old Master Severe began another round of questioning. "Angel, tell me, what's your business with this young man?"

Angeline had a surly expression on her face as she said delicately, "I accidentally knocked into his car ten days ago. He very kindly rescued me."

Old Master Severe gave Cole a once-over. He had a lot of experience and insight. He noticed everything-The way he moved, his generosity, the expensive buttons on his shirt, and the natural arrogance in his brows.

He could feel that this man's identity was not that simple.

When Old Master Severe heard that Cole was his granddaughter's savior, he said graciously, "Thank you. Angel must've given you a lot of trouble."

Cole glanced tenderly at Angeline. He did not bother hiding his attraction toward her.

"Grandpa, I'm here to ask for Angeline's hand in marriage. I hope that you'll give us your blessing. I promise that I'll treat her right."

Old Master Severe was startled and directed his accusatory glance toward Angeline. Angeline pouted. Was it her fault that everyone she met fell in love with her?

"I suppose you don't know this yet. My granddaughter has been married before. Sir, for someone as handsome and dignified as you are, I'm sure that you'll find someone better than Angel," Old Master Severe said humbly.

Cole replied, "Grandpa, I'm serious. Let me take Angeline's hand in marriage, and I'll take care of the Severe family's business. I promise, within two years, the Severe family will regain its former glory." Angeline's eyes widened. "You've investigated my family?"

Cole nodded.

Then, he said self-righteously, "I like you. Of course, I'd get to know your family."

Old Master Severe was silent for a long time.

It seemed that it would not be easy to get rid of this man.

"Sir, this matter is, after all, my granddaughter's lifelong happiness. If she loves you, I have no objections." His words could be considered a polite rejection.

In other words, he had shifted the responsibility of rejecting Cole Yorks onto Angeline.

Angeline was not as polite as her grandfather. "Can you leave? You'll frighten my family, showing up unannounced like this."

Cole stood up and bid farewell. "I'll come back for you in three days."
