Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 818

"Why was he holding me when he left?" Angeline suppressed her excitement and pretended to ask calmly.

Cole recalled the incident that day, and there was still a lingering fear in his heart. "You were unconscious that day and blood was oozing out of every opening on your head. Everyone thought you were dead for sure. When Josephine carried you on her back and took you downstairs, you were already covered in blood. Jay took you into his arms straight away. I thought he was going to give you emergency treatment, but he ended up running away with you in his arms instead-

"Angeline, I was scared out of my wits that day. That was why I couldn't react in time to save you. After the incident, I regretted it terribly. Why did I hand my beloved woman to another man just like that?" Angeline murmured, "I don't blame you, you're timid-"

Cole disagreed. He wanted to compete with Jay in everything. "Angeline, I wasn't the only one who was struck dumb. Jay was also stupefied by the sight of your face. When he laid eyes on you, his pupils were... Were... dispersed. Hmph, he's no braver than me..."

He was still yammering all sorts of things to prove that he was stronger than Jay.

Angeline, however, was shaking vigorously.

Was Jay truly heartless toward her? She was a little unsure now.

Like a flower blooming in the fog, it was difficult to make out what was true and what was not.

As though someone had injected a drop of cool spring water into the dried well in her heart, she felt like she was coming back to life.

Cole gritted his teeth bitterly at the mention of Jay's name. "If Jay hadn't ruined this entire thing that day, you would've been my woman now, Angeline."

Angeline looked fixedly at Cole and caught sight of the hint of determination in his eyes. She felt a chill racing down her spine.

She was glad that Jay had shown up in time to rescue her that day.

Angeline was extremely furious with Cole. "Cole Yorks, if you have the nerve to set me up again next time, I swear we'll turn into sworn enemies." When Cole noticed how Angeline was trembling with rage, he finally realized how much pain his actions had brought her.

"I just love you, that's all." He felt like he was wronged.

"You should respect someone if you love her."

"Alright, alright. I got it now."

Standing behind a rose shrub not far away, two tall and handsome men were staring at the Severe

residence's main gate.

One of them was standing while the other was sitting down.

Jay looked sullen. Cole had turned up this late at night to disturb Angeline. He sure was a lecherous man, huh?

"Do you want to go over and take a look, President Ares?11 Finn asked empathetically.

Just as Jay was about to nod, he saw Cole walking out of the Severe's residence.

He then changed his mind. "No, let's go."

Right now, he would try his best not to provoke Angeline because he would have to pay a heavy price every time he did.

Jay and Finn returned to Apple Street Villa. This was the Severe family's villa originally, but Jay had snatched it over using schemes simply because he was worried that Angeline would suffer defeat in competing for the Severe family's inheritance and fortune with that nonparticipating temperament of hers.

She was not someone who had a strong attachment to her family either.

In that case, he would save her the Severe family's best property then.

The property was acquired under Angeline's name.

Perhaps it was because the villa now belonged to Angeline, so that was why Jay did not feel a strong resistance to this strange environment.

This was a new environment for Finn, so he had no choice but to familiarize himself with the new environment.

He walked around and checked out the place.

Ultimately, he retrieved a wooden box from somewhere and brought it to Jay with a curious look on his face, reporting, "I've just made a shocking discovery, President Ares."
