Sera held Madam Ares' arm timidly as though Angeline had frightened her.
Heartbroken to see Sera in this state, Madam Ares reprimanded Angeline with a stern expression, "When Sera said that you’ve become arrogant ever since you became Grand Asia’s president, I refused to believe it a t first. Now it seems like you’re not just arrogant, but you're also an insufferable bully as well."
Angeline approached Madam Ares and raised her unyielding face. "If you want me to respect you, Madam Ares, then I suggest that you act your age."
Madam Ares was infuriated. "Angeline Severe, h-how dare you speak to me in such a condescending tone?"
In order to fire up the conflict between Madam Ares and Angeline, Sera suddenly stepped forward to give Angeline a slap in the face.
However, Angeline caught her wrist deftly.
Sera reprimanded Angeline, "Angeline Severe, I know that you’ve always been a willful and bossy person, but to behave so rudely to Madam Ares simply shows that you're a bad-mannered and uneducated person!”
Angeline squeezed Sera's wrist and tightened her grip, causing Sera to pale with pain.
"Ouch!" Sera cried out in pain.
Madam Ares chided, "Let go of her, Angeline."
"Sure."
Having said that, she waved her hand and slapped Sera viciously on the face.
Taking into account their relationship as sisters, Angeline's slap did not actually hurt even though it sounded blasting to the ears.
Despite that, Sera put on a show by covering her face and faking crocodile tears.
"Well, well, aren’t you just mighty, Angeline Severe?" Sera said.
The more she pretended to look weak and pitiful, the more others would think that Angeline was using her strength to bully the weak.
Jay could not stand it anymore and reprimanded Angeline, "That’s enough, Angeline. Do you think it's right for you to use your power as Grand Asia’s president to bully the weak?"
Angeline glared at Jay, feeling tremendously aggrieved. "Who the f*ck wants to be Grand Asia's president? You think I asked for this? Listen, if my identity as the president hadn't restrained me, I would’ve done worse things than just slapping her today."
