Angeline quivered.
Old Master Severe said, "I now know how powerful your mother is, Jay. I've imparted all the worldly wisdom to Angeline but have never taught her the ways to deal with an evil mother-in-law. If you can’t protect her, then return her to the Severes. Although we're not as powerful as the Areses or Yorks, I, Swallow City’s richest man, can provide all the basic necessities for my granddaughter. I guarantee that."
Jay could sense Angeline’s anxiety and tightened his grip on her body, announcing domineeringly," Angeline is mine."
He swept his sinister gaze across the crowd, deterring all the aggressive gazes. Then, he stared at the crowd and announced, "I'm taking Angeline away from Imperial Capital."
Chloe was the first to roar. "What are you saying, Jay? You’re leaving Imperial Capital? When are you coming back?"
Jay looked at Angeline from the corners of his eyes, his icy pupils turning gentle instantly. "I don't know. I’ll let Angeline decide. If she comes back, then I'll follow her. If she doesn't, then I'll travel the world with her."
Old Master Severe was immensely pleased. "Jay, since you’re willing to take up your responsibility to take care of Angeline, I will not make things difficult for you anymore. Go, I will leave Angeline in your hands." 1
Chloe processed Jay's words carefully. There was only one question in her mind: If Angeline died of depression, what would Jay’s choice be?
However, she was not brave enough to question Jay in front of the Severes. In the end, Judy let out a heartbreaking cry because she could not bring herself to part with Jay for so long.
"What if she dies?"
Jay felt as though he had fallen into an infinite hell when he heard what she said. Not even the harshest punishment in nine circles of hell could compare to the pain in his heart.
