Chapter 684
Even with an inhumane amount of willpower and restraint, there was no way he could hold back the
throbbing desire his heart felt at that moment. He wanted to have her by her side regardless of
everything else happening around them.
"I''m sorry, Jay. You can call me selfish, but the Severe family cannot lose Angeline again. I can no
longer watch Angeline run blindly toward you like a moth to a me. That''s not her calling."
"I promise you, Old Master. I promise I’ll take care of her. Even if it costs me my life, I''ll keep her
safe." He had pleaded and begged the old master not to take away his right to love Angeline.
However, he was sentenced to death by the old master''s next sentence.
"Don''t you understand, JJ? Only with her alive would the two of you have a chance of a future
together.
What will you do if she dies?"
Jay gave a strong shudder at the suggestion. "I won''t let her die."
He had suffered the aftermath of her death once, and i t was an immense amount of helplessness
and grief that had his heart drained.
"Are you sure that you can protect her? Do you know who this evil within the Ares family is? No, you
don''t. You don''t even know who you’re fighting at all, Jay."
"Shh, Angeline, it''ll be okay. Just give me some time. Let me walk out of this haze and into the
clearing.
Then I''ll fetch you home. Trust me, my love," Jay murmured to himself.
In Imperial Capital.
Angeline pushed open the door of the rented apartment, frightening Josephine with her
resemnce with a Lady in White.
"Ah! A ghost!"
Lifelessly, Angeline flopped onto the sofa and remained unmoved like a puppet with its strings cut.
Josephine crawled over to flick away the long locks of hair that obscured her delicate features.
Taking in theck of anger in her expression, Josephine fell backward on the floor in shock.
"What happened, Sis Angeline?”
"I got dumped by your brother," Angeline replied in despair.
Josephine was too shocked for words.
"By my brother? How could that be?" "He''s not answering my calls or my texts. He''s clearly
drawing a line between us now."
Josephine was angry. "Zayne dumped me, now my brother dumps you. What do they take us
women for? Dolls thate and go on their whims?"
Angeline stood slowly. "I''m going to talk to him myself."
However, she was pulled back by Josephine as the other took a nce at her loungewear and
bird''s nest o f a bedhead. "You’re only going to make him more certain about his desire to leave you
if you meet him like this."
Then, she pushed Angeline into the bathroom. "Go take a shower and doll yourself up. I’ll bring you
to get even with my brother."
After a shower, Josephine had Angeline seated in front of the vanity as she began to pull a look
together.
Despite her extraordinary appearance, Angeline''s eyes remained spiritless and tired. The sight of
her especially broke Josephine''s heart.
Angeline stood away from the vanity and walked out without another word.
Taking her purse, Josephine rushed after her.
They called a cab to Tourmaline Estate.
Standing outside the facial-recognition entry system, Angeline felt her heart shrivel as tears began
to fall at theck of permission to enter the premises. Jay was too extreme, rejecting her at the Ares''
main doors.
Josephine walked over. "Let me."
Yet right as she took the ce in front of the interface, a head popped out from the security hut. A
voice said i n a cold tone, "Second Lady, Old Master Jack has informed us that you''re not allowed to
step foot within Tourmaline Estate until you make a name for yourself."
Josephine felt the corners of her eyes burn as a hot liquid threatened to fall from them. Biting her
lip, she held her head up and was unwilling to cry.

Jack Ares was tantly disowning her as his daughter.
Angeline pulled Josephine away by the hand with a strong tone. "Let''s go, Josie."
Following protocol, any changes or news at the door required a report back to the person of the
highest authority.
