Chapter 693


    It was as if Angeline had vanished off the earth for the next couple of days, not bothering Jay at all.


    Jay felt himself grow inexplicably frustrated. He could not help but think that his ruthlessness had


    completely hurt her heart and she had lost all hope in him.


    With his phone on the desk, he would check it from time to time. There had yet to be a text or call at


    all.


    "What are you doing, Angeline? Are you missing me like how I''m missing you now?"


    Jay sighed deeply and leaned his head back onto the wheelchair, his brows tightly furrowed.


    At the rented apartment.


    Angeliney on the bed. She had neither eaten nor drunk anything for the past two days.


    Josie felt her heart clench in pain as she stared at Angeline who was on a hunger strike.


    "At least drink some water, Sis Angeline. It’s not like m y brother would know that you''re torturing


    yourself." Josephine sat at the edge of the bed, hugging both her legs to her chest and stuttering,


    "Why do we have to hurt ourselves because they don’t love us anymore? If this is our fate, we


    should just ept it."


    Despite how this sentence was phrased for Angeline, i


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    t was also a form of self-encouragement.


    Angeline replied harshly, "I refuse to believe that your brother doesn''t love me anymore. There must


    be something more to the story that he can''t tell.


    Otherwise, it wouldn''t exin the vow he took."


    "My brother has always been a person who spoke and acted as he wished. It''s not like him to bow


    his head to others, let alone sacrifice love in the face of difficulties," Josie spoke confusedly.


    Angeline exined, "He broke it off with me after a trip to Swallow City and a secret conversation


    with m y grandfather.”


    Josie was shocked. "What did they talk about?”


    Angelina''s voice was hoarse and her mouth was dry." Do I look pitiful, Josie? Skinny and hollowed


    out?"


    Josie nodded. "Yeah."


    "That''s good. Take a picture of me and send it to your Moments. Then caption it with something


    along the lines of how I''ve gone on a hunger strike and be suicidal after getting dumped from a


    ten-year rtionship. I''m sure your brother would show himself," Angeline spoke stubbornly.


    "Alright." Josephine fetched out her phone and took photos of Angeline from every angle. Then, she


    posted them on Moments and captioned with a sensational line of text.


    "Done."


    Angeline nodded in constion. As if a patient going through Terminal Lucidity, her energy and spirit


    returned. She turned to Josephine and said, "I want to drink water and I want to eat."


    Josephine''s eyes widened.


    "Aren''t you going a little too far with your acting?"


    Angeline replied with exhaustion, "Your brother is ungodly smart. How am I supposed to trick him


    intoing over if I don''t take the extra step to make it look real?"


    Grand Asia.


    Jay''s impatient hands picked up the phone instantly a s it vibrated with a notification.


    On the top of the screen was a message notification.


    ''Your friend added to their Moments.''


    Jay felt his eyes darken as he tapped on the Moments icon.


    Reading Josie’s post, Jay’s heart froze and sunk.


    "My good friend just got dumped by her man from her long-term rtionship. It''s been two days


    already and she still hasn’t eaten, not to mention that she''s showing suicidal tendencies. Does


    anybody know what to do?"


    The hand clenching the phone began to shake as Jay tapped on the image. He felt his heart bleed


    as he stared at Angelina''s ashen and sunken appearance.


    He jolted up from the wheelchair, only for his thighs t o give up in less than three seconds. He


    flopped back o n the wheelchair.


    Jay swept the files off his desk in frustration.


    Hearing the ruckus, Grayson quickly dashed into the room. "Mr. President."


    Jay''splexion was pale, and his attractive features were filled with unbridled anxiety as well as


    nervousness. "Ready the car, Grayson. I''m going to Angeline''s rented apartment."


    "Yes, Sir."


    After Grayson left, Jay mustered up the courage to tap on Josephine’s Moments again as he sat in


    the wheelchair. With the nine images together, he found himself easily realizing the loophole within


    the pictures.


    The angle of the picture showed signs of deliberate posing.


    By the time Grayson returned to the office, Jay had already decided to cancel the initial n to visit.
