    Furious, he released her and staggered away.

    He did not see Angeline when she fell stiffly to the ground nor did he see her helpless gaze as it fell


    on his straight, tall back.


    His words had pierced her chest like a dagger.


    "Angeline, I really hate living like a clown, like a pawn that everyone uses as they please and


    manipted as they wish. I''m leaving now. You''re on your own now!"


    Angeline was struggling desperately trying to hold on t o him and to tell him the truth, but she could


    neither shout nor move.


    She looked fixedly at the ceiling as she waited for this damn panic attack to be done and over with.


    As it happened, she had sent Baby Zetty away not long ago.


    She had nned to have a long conversation with Jay tonight.


    She wanted to dispel all the confusion he had but did not expect him toe home with a hostile


    aura.


    What was more, her body had failed her, putting her in this state of panic just because he sounded


    a tad harsh.


    Since childhood, seeing him angry was something that she was most afraid of.


    That was how useless she was.


    Darkness slowly crept in.


    Angeline closed her eyes in despair.


    In the dead of night, it started drizzling outside.


    A white figure moved back and forth in the Bell family''s courtyard house like a ghost and eventually


    copsed in front of Steven’s house. The figure knocked on the main door with both hands weakly.


    Shortly after that, the main door was pulled open from the inside.


    At the sight of the figure sitting on the ground, the person who opened the door yelped in surprise."


    Madam Ares?"


    She then looked around her and helped the badly injured Madam Ares into the living room.


    "Wait here, Madam Ares. TH go and notify Old Master Steven."


    After saying those words, the servant left Madam Ares in the living room alone and wounded.


    Madam Ares tottered to the couch and sat down shakily. She had not eaten the entire day, and


    hunger was making her dizzy while her vision had be blurry. Coupled with the fact that the


    wounds on her body were starting to be inmed, she felt like she was in living hell.


    Shortly after that, Steven came out in a wheelchair. At the sight of the state that Madam Ares was


    in, he asked suspiciously, "What happened to you?"


    Madam Ares smiled weakly. "Jack and I are over, Steven. I can finally return to your side."


    Steven was stunned for a very long time before asking anxiously, "Does anyone know that you''re


    here?"


    Madam Ares shook her head. "I deliberately waited until this time toe over just so no one would


    see m e. Don’t worry, Steven. No one followed me this time."


    Steven breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "This is the most crucial moment for us to defeat


    Grand Asia. I don''t want us to fail when we’re already on the verge o f sess. What''s with your


    injury?"


    Madam Ares gazed at Steven. Maybe it was because she had experienced what it felt like to feel so


    powerless that this man''s sudden and intense thirst for power left her frightened and scared.


    "It’s Angeline. She exposed my collusion with the Bell family to Jack," Madam Ares said in a


    trembling voice.


    Her instincts told her that Steven was no longer the young man who was willing to sacrifice


    everything for her.


    Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Steven was s o furious that he clenched the armrest.


    Madam Ares quickly said in an ingratiating tone, Don''t worry, Steven. Angeline didn''t have it easy


    either because I beat her at her own game and nted a seed of doubt in Jay. You should see the


    look of despair on Jay’s face after he listened to the stories I made up. I''m positive that they will


    break up this time."
