Chapter 795


    Angeline stared at her father’s anger in confusion." What have I done, Dad? What did I do to


    warrant such anger?"


    George used Angeline furiously. "You did nothing t o save your sister, Angeline Severe, despite


    knowing full well that she was locked away by Jack Ares at the Ares'' house.”


    Angeline spared Sera a nce. The other looked weak while herplexion appeared pale. Her


    physique also appeared frail enough that a strong wind might just blow her away.


    At first, Angeline did not understand why her father had so easily forgiven Sera''s grave mistake.


    Right now, however, she realized. To protect herself, Sera must have blown up the story and


    passed the fault onto her.


    Angeline exined herself, upset, "How can you just believe Sera’s words, Dad? She was doted on


    like a rich mistress at Tourmaline Estate. Servants treated her like they would a dignified mistress,


    the madam respected her as an equal, and Jack was at her constant beck and call. What was there


    for me to save her from?"


    p!


    George waved his hand to p Angeline across her


    face.


    Her internal injuries coupled with George’s heavily packed p had Angeline staggering and falling


    backward. She curled into herself on the floor.


    George paid no attention to the truth behind Angeline''s words. Instead, he continued with his harsh


    reprimanding, "It''s enough that you just watched your sister suffer, Angeline Severe, but how could


    you use her of something she didn''t do? I know Sera better than anyone and she would never


    be someone’s mistress unless she had no other choice. You, on the other hand, you’ve


    disappointed me too much."


    "So you know Sera better than anyone, Father, but do you know anything about me?" Angeline


    cupped her burning cheek as she stared indignantly at George.


    "Sera will always be dignified and with integrity, too good to be someone else''s mistress in your


    eyes, Father. Even when the truth is ced right in front of you, you’d still im that she was


    forced. What about me, then? Would you ever see me as more than just a cold-blooded and


    wretched daughter?"


    Trembling, she climbed up and walked toward George. She pointed out his partiality and said, "You


    favor Sera, Dad, and it’s very obvious."


    George was momentarily stunned and fired back furiously, "Not only are you unwilling to admit your


    mistakes, but you''re also pulling the story out of proportions now? I''ve never felt as disappointed in


    you as I am now."


    This time, Angeline stopped fighting against him.


    She merely smiled.


    She realized that reasoning with her father would only result in her own loss.


    As such, she might as well save her energy and close her mouth.


    However, George took her silence as guilt. He held her ountable for everything Sera had framed


    her for.


    "From today onwards, Angeline Severe, you’re no longer my daughter. You''ll no longer need to care


    about how Severe Enterprises is doing. You cane t o thepany to fill out the papers for your


    resignation tomorrow as well."


    With that, everyone waited in silence to watch Angelina''s reaction.


    Perhaps they had assumed that Angeline would refuse the life of amoner as well, that Angeline


    would fight for titles and sess like the rest of them.


    They assumed that by taking away her right to manage Severe Enterprises, she would get on her


    knees and beg for forgiveness, promising to change.


    They never expected Angeline to remain unfazed, let alone nod calmly. "Alright.”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Sera''s eyes shone with pride. She had finally gotten what she always wanted.


    George had a belly full of anger ready to let out on her, but Angeline was a dud. A dud that would


    no longer fire or explode no matter how much he pressured her.


    George was deted.


    "Let''s go home, Sera."


    "Yes, Father."


    Lady Severe gave Angeline a deep nce now that George and Sera had left for home. Sighing


    silently, she turned to leave.


    Angeline''s gaze fell on the old master, the true parent o f the entire Severe family. Grandfather


    closing a blind eye at Father''s favoritism had added to the hurt in Angeline''s heart.


    Angeline shouted at the old master, "Grandfather."


    The old master looked at her, the gaze in his eyes indescribable.


    "Do you also believe Sera? Do you also see me as a cold -blooded and ruthless person?” Angeline


    asked grievously.


    Taking in her expression that begged for his recognition, the old master sighed. "Do you still not


    understand? In this house, power bes the truth. Without Seth and Sera, Severe Enterprises


    would have gone under long ago."
