His impulse was the cause of the Ares family's tragedy in the past. If he could just control his emotions back then, he would not have brought fear and misfortune upon the Ares family.
"Jack, stop." Grand Old Master Ares roared.
Jack tossed the broom away. With his bloodshot eyes, he glared fiercely at Madam Ares like a bloodthirsty demon. "Ask yourself honestly, do you think what you did is right?"
Now badly mangled and disfigured, Madam Ares wailed and begged for mercy. "I may have made a mistake, Old Master Jack, but I've raised Jay and Josephine for you, both of who are not of my own. Don’t I deserve a bit of credit for my hard work too? For all the things I've done and the pain I've suffered, I beg you to please spare me."
Jack roared. "You want to be spared after you betrayed me? Do you think I'm a hotel where you can come and go as you like? Well, let me tell you, the hatred in my heart will never be rid of until I torture you to death."
Jack then started screaming at his servant, "Lock Madam Ares in the dark room. She’s not allowed to be released without my permission. Also, no one is
allowed to visit her."
The servant dragged Madam Ares away with fear and trepidation. When she passed by Angeline, Madam Ares glared at Angeline with bitter hatred. "You must b e thrilled to put me in this state, aren't you, Angeline? Do you think Jay will be grateful to you for doing this t o me? No, he will only hate you more."
Angeline said mildly, "Your heart has always belonged to the Bell family, Madam Ares. The Ares family treats you so kindly, but that still isn't enough to prick your conscience. You're the one who has put yourself in this state."
Madam Ares suddenly guffawed wildly. "Naha, don’t b e so full of yourself yet, Angeline. Grand Asia will soon be destroyed. When the time comes, all the families that you've suppressed will rise again. Just wait and see. You will end a hundred or even a thousand times worse than me. You'll be left isolated and all alone."
Isolated and all alone?
Angeline thought of Baby Robbie and his dazzling smile. There was also the clever Jens and Jaybie who loved her to the core. What was once beautiful was just an endless longing now.
Angeline's delicate body shuddered as her black pupils filled with tears.
Grayson walked over and supported Angeline, saying," Let’s go, Ms. Severe."
Angeline fought back her tears and looked at Madam
Ares. For some reason, her gaze was now filled with hostility. "As the saying goes, good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil. My thoughts and intentions have always been good, so I believe that God won't let me down. You, however, have placed your heart elsewhere. Your wolfish ambition is despised by many. I too would like to see if the good and the bad will share the same fate."
