Chapter 816


    Now that Anne had learned the truth, she could finally let go and set her mind at rest.


    "If you don''t have money, Mr. Yorks, there’s no need to keep up appearances. This will be the


    Severe family’s missus'' second marriage, so we won’t set such a high bar. We can negotiate and


    offer you a discount for the dowry."


    Her words had not only derogated Angeline, but she was also verbally attacking Cole. It could even


    be said as killing two birds with one stone. Now that Anne had vented her anger, she felt as pleased


    as punch.


    Cole was so furious that he climbed the carved gate and jumped into the courtyard. "Who said


    there’s no money in this card?"


    Cole snatched the card from Angelina''s hand, then stretched out his hand to ask, "Where''s your


    phone?"


    Angeline turned her head away, refusing to cooperate.


    Anne stepped forward and handed her mobile phone t o Cole. "Use mine." She sounded like a


    benefactor giving alms to a beggar.


    Cole shed a malicious smile. "Are you asking me to transfer the money in the card to your


    phone?"


    Anne, who was behaving as if she was a benefactor at first, was struck a severe blow by Cole in


    just one


    sentence and instantly turned into someone who was seeking alms instead.


    Her haughty face suddenly alternated between green and red as she retreated awkwardly.


    Cole looked at the card that he had failed to give out and let out a self-deprecatingugh. "I can’t


    believe that a woman actually refused my dowry."


    He said it like Angeline had failed to recognize how outstanding a man he was.


    He then gave himself a way out. "That makes sense. It''s too tacky to talk about money. I brought


    you lots of rare and priceless medicine and supplements today. You''ll ept them, won''t you?"

    Angeline replied curtly, "I don’t want them!"


    Cole said, "You were so severely injured that day and nearly lost your life. These are all high-end


    supplements that my family has developed. They''ll heal your injuries really quickly after you take


    them."


    As soon as those words came out, a bomb had seemingly exploded on the spot.


    Angeline was severely injured?


    Even so, none of them noticed it at all?


    Angeline had even tirelessly cooked and washed the dishes tonight. Whenpared to the


    comfortseeking Anne and Sera, she was simply an irondy.


    Anne felt like someone had pped her on the face more than a dozen times and was so flushed


    that she could cry tears of blood.


    George cast his pitiful eyes on Angeline. "Is it true what he said?"


    Anne murmured, "If her injury is really that serious, how did she find the strength to cook and wash


    the dishes?"


    Cole eximed, "Huh? You actually dragged your sick body to work, Angeline?"


    Angeline murmured, "I''m healed."


    Cole said in a stern manner, "That''s an internal injury we''re talking about here. You injured your


    lungs and broke your ribs. As the saying goes, it takes 100 days for the bones to knit and tendons


    to heal. You’re already doing heavy work in less than a month?"


    When Baby Zetty heard that Mommy was badly injured, her heart ached so badly that her tears


    started flowing like a broken tap.


    "Why didn’t you tell us that you were severely injured, Mommy? If we knew that you''re injured so


    badly, we wouldn''t have asked you to do any work at all. Aunt Sera''s wound is merely a tear and


    already she’s allowed to lie in bed to rest. Sob, sob, sob."


    It was supposed to be just kids’ talk, yet Anne could feel her face burning with her words.


    Cole was even more furious now. "Great. The Severe family has actually taken my woman so


    lightly, huh?"


    Cole had always been a warm person with an utterly carefree attitude. It was rare to see him angry.


    It was hard to imagine that he would look so terrifying when he was angry.
