Angeline suddenly felt as if a thunderstorm had struck her. She was so petrified that she stood still in the same spot.
She was afraid of Chloe, and it was now an instinctive reaction.
The muscles in Chloe's face had atrophied, and she was staring at Angeline fiercely with her pair of withered-looking eyes. Angeline was so horrified it was as if she had seen a ghost.
"Mom,” she called out while trembling.
"I've given the jade to Judy, Angeline. Hence, that's Judy’s private property. You're not qualified to ask for i t back." Chloe sat on the wheelchair, oozing with a frightening aura.
Angeline explained in a low voice, "Mom, my name’s engraved on the jade jewelry. There are also strands of my and Jaybie's hair inside of it. It’s not an appropriate gift for Judy. I'll give another one that looks exactly the same to her next time, okay?"
Chloe sneered and said, "Jay's hair is inside? That's great. If the jade is given to Judy, that means Jay and Judy will grow old together.”
She turned around and said to Judy, "Judy, think of
this jade jewelry as a betrothal gift from your future mother-in-law. Keep it safe for me, will you?"
Judy was ecstatic. “Of course.”
Angeline felt like she was choking on air, but because her opponent was her elder, she merely swallowed her anger.
"Let’s go, Josie.” Angeline turned around and was about to leave.
Chloe yelled at her furiously, "Stop right there! Did I allow you to leave, Angeline?"
Angeline turned to look at Chloe, her charming face full of dissatisfaction toward her.
"What else do you want to add, Mom?” The restrained emotions rolled about in her body. She had to control her expression, and her chest was getting sore from blocking out the anger.
The enormous emotional reactions were quickly making Angelina's body go haywire. Her temperature was going chaotic, and her nervous system was getting disordered. Angeline gradually felt that she was beginning to sweat.
"Angeline, I heard from JJ that he wants to have a make-up wedding for you? I was wondering, why don’t he marry the wife and the mistress at one go?"
