Chloe had never seen Jay look so depressed before. In her opinion, her son was invincible. Even in the face o f disaster, he would continue to stand firm like a mountain.
When she saw how depressed Jay looked now just because Angeline did not want him anymore, she was both shocked and exasperated.
"There are so many women in the world. If Angeline doesn't want you, there are other women who will love you. Must you be so stubborn?" Chloe reprimanded Jay.
Jay gazed at Chloe hopelessly, his eyes dark and cold. I t made Chloe's hair stand on end when she saw them.
Jay said to the director of the hospital, "My wife needs her rest. Drive all of them out."
The director hesitated. Although he did not know the Yorks, he knew Grand Old Master Ares.
Grand Old Master Ares was a reasonable man, hence h e hastened to say, "There's no need to drive us out.
We’ll leave on our own.”
Chloe was choking with anger. Jay was clearly asking her to leave.
"Fine. I'd like to see if you and Angeline can make it to
the end without me." Chloe wheeled herself out furiously.
Unwilling to part with Mrs. Yorks, Spencer walked up t o her while pleading humbly, "Come home with me, honey. I'll do whatever you ask me to..."
Sandra deliberately stopped in her tracks and cocked an ear at Spencer and Mrs. Yorks' conversation.
Mrs. Yorks glanced at Sandra and snarled. "If you want me to go home, sure, but on one condition."
Spencer rejoiced because Mrs. Yorks was willing to make terms with him. "Go ahead, honey. I will agree to your condition no matter what it is."
Worried that Mrs. Yorks would seize her position as the patriarch's wife and her power to hold the purse strings, Sandra suddenly grew worried.
She walked back and took Spencer's arm before speaking in a coquettish voice, "Old Master Yorks, I won't hand over my financial power even if she wants it. You're the one who said that I can hold the purse strings as compensation because you can't give me a child.”
Spencer looked slightly awkward.
