Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 795

Angeline stared at her father's anger in confusion." What have I done, Dad? What did I do to warrant such anger?"

George accused Angeline furiously. "You did nothing to save your sister, Angeline Severe, despite knowing full well that she was locked away by Jack Ares at the Ares' house."

Angeline spared Sera a glance. The other looked weak while her complexion appeared pale. Her physique also appeared frail enough that a strong wind might just blow her away.

At first, Angeline did not understand why her father had so easily forgiven Sera's grave mistake.

Right now, however, she realized. To protect herself, Sera must have blown up the story and passed the fault onto her.

Angeline explained herself, upset, "How can you just believe Sera's words, Dad? She was doted on like a rich mistress at Tourmaline Estate. Servants treated her like they would a dignified mistress, the madam respected her as an equal, and Jack was at her constant beck and call. What was there for me to save her from?"

Slap!

George waved his hand to slap Angeline across her

face.

Her internal injuries coupled with George's heavily packed slap had Angeline staggering and falling backward. She curled into herself on the floor.

George paid no attention to the truth behind Angeline's words. Instead, he continued with his harsh reprimanding, "It's enough that you just watched your sister suffer, Angeline Severe, but how could you accuse her of something she didn't do? I know Sera better than anyone and she would never be someone's mistress unless she had no other choice. You, on the other hand, you've disappointed me too much."

"So you know Sera better than anyone, Father, but do you know anything about me?" Angeline cupped her burning cheek as she stared indignantly at George.

"Sera will always be dignified and with integrity, too good to be someone else's mistress in your eyes, Father. Even when the truth is placed right in front of you, you'd still claim that she was forced. What about me, then? Would you ever see me as more than just a cold-blooded and wretched daughter?"

Trembling, she climbed up and walked toward George. She pointed out his partiality and said, "You favor Sera, Dad, and it's very obvious."

George was momentarily stunned and fired back furiously, "Not only are you unwilling to admit your mistakes, but you're also pulling the story out of proportions now? I've never felt as disappointed in you as I am now."

This time, Angeline stopped fighting against him.

She merely smiled.

She realized that reasoning with her father would only result in her own loss.

As such, she might as well save her energy and close her mouth.

However, George took her silence as guilt. He held her accountable for everything Sera had framed her for.

"From today onwards, Angeline Severe, you're no longer my daughter. You'll no longer need to care about how Severe Enterprises is doing. You can come to the company to fill out the papers for your resignation tomorrow as well."

With that, everyone waited in silence to watch Angelina's reaction.

Perhaps they had assumed that Angeline would refuse the life of a commoner as well, that Angeline would fight for titles and success like the rest of them.

They assumed that by taking away her right to manage Severe Enterprises, she would get on her knees and beg for forgiveness, promising to change.

They never expected Angeline to remain unfazed, let alone nod calmly. "Alright."

Sera's eyes shone with pride. She had finally gotten what she always wanted.

George had a belly full of anger ready to let out on her, but Angeline was a dud. A dud that would no longer fire or explode no matter how much he pressured her. George was deflated.

"Let's go home, Sera."

"Yes, Father."

Lady Severe gave Angeline a deep glance now that George and Sera had left for home. Sighing silently, she turned to leave.

Angeline's gaze fell on the old master, the true parent of the entire Severe family. Grandfather closing a blind eye at Father's favoritism had added to the hurt in Angeline's heart.

Angeline shouted at the old master, "Grandfather."

The old master looked at her, the gaze in his eyes indescribable.

"Do you also believe Sera? Do you also see me as a cold -blooded and ruthless person?" Angeline asked grievously.

Taking in her expression that begged for his recognition, the old master sighed. "Do you still not understand? In this house, power becomes the truth. Without Seth and Sera, Severe Enterprises would have gone under long ago."
