On Jay's handsome face was a lifeless expression. " Break up with him." He threatened her.

Angeline also wished to cut ties with Cole. However, that runt was more clingy than good velcro.

"I can't," she said calmly.

When they got together, it was always Cole who took the initiative.

When those words reached Jay's ears, it seemed like it was hard for her to pull herself away from Cole.

"Is it really that hard, breaking up with him?" Jay gritted his teeth, a murderous aura seeping from within him.

Angeline had no words.

Jay was enraged by her silence, and his teeth ground together. "Angeline Severe, don't forget that we're not divorced just yet. This is cheating. Since you dare betray me, you'd better believe that I will-" Angeline steeled herself, and her dark eyes welled with tears as she looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Jay's sentence was left hanging in the air.

Even if she betrayed him, what could he do?

"You've reminded me of something. I'm not sure as to when you're free, Sir Ares. We should put an end to

this wicked relationship of ours," Angeline said without emotion.

Jay glowered at her. How dare she talk about divorce? He had never thought of divorcing her.

"Get the hell out." He roared in fury one last time.

Angeline knelt there, lowering her voice as she pleaded, "I beg you, Sir Ares, to sign the papers." Jay paid no attention to her. Instead, he leaned against the wheelchair and rested his eyes. Angeline heard Sera's cries from outside and became anxious for her.

Jay was unwilling to sign the papers to save her, and Angeline had beads of nervous sweats on her head.

Time was ticking away, and Sera's wails intensified with every second. Angeline could not hold back any longer. She suddenly crawled over to Jay, grabbed his hand, and pleaded, "Sir Ares, I beg you. Save her, please."

Jay slowly opened his eyes. When he saw that worried look on her face, he felt a sense of defeat mixed with disappointment within him.

"What has her life and death got to do with you?" he asked casually.

An emotion of loneliness surfaced across Angelina's face. "In the past, I would probably not have been here. But now, my dad is looking at her in a different light. Perhaps in my dad's eyes, she became the daughter who could bring him hope and goodness in his life. If I save her, it's all because I don't want my dad to lose that hope!"

Jay looked at her, stunned. A prideful Angeline finally knew how to compromise. It seemed that the plot twists that happened within her family had left her traumatized.

"If you save her, she'll have your face under her heel. Are you sure that you won't regret your decision today?" he asked.

Angeline smiled a light, bitter smile. "It was I who was incompetent. I threw away the love that my grandfather and dad gave me. If someday that were to happen, I can only blame myself for being useless." Jay's heart ached so much for her. She was prideful and arrogant, yet she knew how to give in to reality. Perhaps she had suffered a good deal within the Severe family.

"Get up," said Jay.

Angeline was overjoyed. "You're willing to save her?"

Jay leaned forward, reached out, and pinched her chin. "Do you know that both mother and child were supposed to die on that bed today? However, I'll let Sera go because of how you begged for them. When she acts all arrogant in front of you in the future, I hope that you won't regret the decision you made today."

Jay released her and picked up the intercom telephone. He gave his instructions, "Keep that noble alive."

Angeline fell to the floor in utter shock. It was at that moment she realized that everything that happened today was a set up after all.

All of that agreement and statements and disclaimers, they were all fake.

"What are your intentions in devising your plans and luring me here?" Angeline got to her feet, her face disheveled. She looked at Jay with fury in her eyes.
