Chapter 768


    Old Master Severe had made the final decision. Hence, George and Anne had nothing to say in


    retort.


    Angeline thought to herself, ''Jack Ares is now the person in charge of Ares Enterprises, so he''s


    acting arrogant and domineering. He doesn''t even care about Jay, not to mention the Severe family.


    ''What can Grandfather do to force Jack Ares to let Sera go?''


    Once George and Anne left, Old Master Severe called Angeline into the study.


    He said somewhat bluntly, "I know that you hate her, Angeline. But the family''s dirtyundry truly


    shouldn''t be publicized. If our Severe family wants to regain its strength and glory, the family’s


    nobility and honor cannot be destroyed. Otherwise, how would we win back people’s hearts in the


    future?''''


    Angeline felt like she had a deja vu. "Grandfather, do you want me to go forth and negotiate with the


    Ares family?”


    Old Master Severe nodded. "You’re the only one who can do this."


    Angeline refused. "I can’t.”


    The old man stared at her, while Angeline found an excuse to beat about the bush. "I''ve broken up


    with


    Jay Ares. So, I believe Jack wouldn’t give me the time o f day."


    Old Master Severe shook his head. "I didn’t say that I want you to beg Jay Ares. I want you to use


    that head o f yours. With your capabilities, I''m sure you''re able to figure out how to persuade Jack to


    let her go."


    Angeline continued to droop her head.


    Old Master Severe sighed. "No matter what we discuss, you''re simply harboring hate toward her in


    your heart."


    Angelineined, "Aunty Connors took my father away, Grandfather. Don''t you see how much


    pain my mother’s in? Why should I help their family out?


    Besides, I''ve helped enoughst night."


    Old Master Severe replied earnestly, "Grandfather hopes that you can put aside your personal


    grievances and put the overall situation of the Severe family first right now. You may think it


    through."


    When she came out of her grandfather''s study, Angeline was caught in a bind.


    The weather had entered midsummer. Hence, the air was sultry and humidly hot. Cicadas were


    incessantly chirping on the overhead branch, and Cole Yorks was sitting listlessly on the rot-proof


    wooden bench in the courtyard, thinking about his problems.


    It did not take long before the sun prated the clouds, and the sky went dark almost too


    suddenly. Then, there was a sh of lightning before a burst of thunder, and heavy raindrops started


    falling.


    Cole hurried into the house, covering the top of his head with his hands.


    Standing below the eaves as he looked at the foggy sky, he thought to himself, ''A storm ising.’


    Carson, who had disappeared for several days and nights, ran inside from the curtains of rain.


    When he noticed Cole standing at the door, he immediately called out joyfully, "Young Master."This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Cole’s eyes were filled with surprise. "You little brat, why have you been out for so long?"


    Cole looked at his wet and dirty clothes with disgust and frowned. "Take a bath and change into


    clean clothes. Then,e to the study and look for me."


    Carson looked at his clothes, and when he noticed all the mud, he looked at Cole in amazement.


    "You didn’t vomit the moment you saw my dirty clothes today, Young Master?" Carson said with joy.


    Cole''s face showed a sullen expression. "This is all thanks to that woman who fought fire with fire. It


    actually worked."
