Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 1148

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 manipulated 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 planned to have a long conversation with Jay tonight.

She wanted to dispel all the confusion he had but did not expect him to come 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 collapsed in front of Steven’s house. The figure knocked on the main door with both hands weakly.

Madam Ares shook her head. "I deliberately waited until this time to come 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 success. 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 planted 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."
