Chapter 718
Old Master Severe said angrily, "It''s not enough if you only have the ambition. You have to spend
the time and effort in managing the Severe family''spany. Today, our biggestpetitor is Bell
Enterprise. They have severely reduced our market. You have to think o f ways to attract our
customers back to us and get thepany back on track step by step."
Angeline knew that her bad track record was the reason her grandfather did not have faith in her
ambition. As such, she straightened her back and asked for instructions from Old Master Severe."
Grandpa, give me a goal. I promise that I''ll achieve it."

When Old Master Severe realized that she was being serious, he said, "Two years. I want you to
resume the production of smart chips within the Severe family. Also, dethrone Ares Enterprises as
the leader in this field."
Angeline sneaked a look at Cole who was sitting rxedly and thought to herself, ''The chip in this
man''s phone is so much more advanced than the one produced by Ares Enterprises. Ares
Enterprises has long since lost its throne.''
Angeline said with conviction, "I promise that I''ll aplish this mission."
Only then did Old Master Severe rx his brows.
Just then, the taxi driver ran in and shouted, "Miss, where’s the fee that you owe me?"
The expression on Old Master Severe’s face turned gloomy again.
"How dare you owe a cab fee? Do you know how that would make me sound if word got out?"
As he finished speaking, he raised his hand to p Angeline, but Cole reached out and blocked his
way. Smiling, he said, "I''ll settle this."
He walked over to the driver. "How much?"
"200 dors," the driver replied.
Cole gave him a stack of cash. "Miss Severe is an eminent person with a short memory. She didn''t
mean to owe you any money. Watch your mouth, and don’t say anything that you aren''t supposed
to."
The driver nodded happily as he received the generouspensation. "Yes, yes. I''ll make sure of
that."
After the cab driver was sent away, Old Master Severe began another round of questioning. "Angel,
tell me, what''s your business with this young man?"
Angeline had a surly expression on her face as she said delicately, "I identally knocked into his
car ten days ago. He very kindly rescued me."
Old Master Severe gave Cole a once-over. He had a lot o f experience and insight. He noticed
everything-The way he moved, his generosity, the expensive buttons o n his shirt, and the natural
arrogance in his brows.
He could feel that this man’s identity was not that simple.
When Old Master Severe heard that Cole was his granddaughter''s savior, he said graciously,
"Thank you. Angel must’ve given you a lot of trouble."
Cole nced tenderly at Angeline. He did not bother hiding his attraction toward her.
“Grandpa, I’m here to ask for Angeline’s hand in marriage. I hope that you''ll give us your blessing. I
promise that I''ll treat her right."
Old Master Severe was startled and directed his usatory nce toward Angeline. Angeline
pouted. Was it her fault that everyone she met fell in love with her?
"I suppose you don''t know this yet. My granddaughter has been married before. Sir, for someone as
handsome and dignified as you are, I’m sure that you''ll find someone better than Angel,” Old Master
Severe said humbly.
Cole replied, "Grandpa, I’m serious. Let me take Angeline’s hand in marriage, and I''ll take care of
the Severe family''s business. I promise, within two years, the Severe family will regain its former
glory."
Angeline’s eyes widened. "You''ve investigated my family?"
Cole nodded.
Then, he said self-righteously, "I like you. Of course, I''d get to know your family."
Old Master Severe was silent for a long time.
It seemed that it would not be easy to get rid of this man.
"Sir, this matter is, after all, my granddaughter''s lifelong happiness. If she loves you, I have no
objections." His words could be considered a polite rejection.
In other words, he had shifted the responsibility of rejecting Cole Yorks onto Angeline.
Angeline was not as polite as her grandfather. "Can you leave? You''ll frighten my family, showing up
unannounced like this."
Cole stood up and bid farewell. "I''lle back for you i n three days."
