Jenson put his hands in his trouser pockets and said coolly, "I'll make her pay back for the pain she inflicted on my mommy by tenfold."
Grayson feared for Chloe’s safety.
The rental house.
When the doorbell rang, Shirley and Mrs. Yorks exchanged glances with each other. Even though they knew that Angeline was not coming back anymore after getting taken away by Jay, they still opened the door excitedly.
Outside the door, Old Master Severe, Mr. Severe, and Lady Severe stood outside. Mrs. Yorks was struck dumb. "You are?"
Lady Severe grinned from ear to ear, saying, "I'm Shirley's mother. I'm here to take my daughter home."
Shirley walked out in tears, then with a thump, she dropped to the ground in front of Grand Old Master Severe. She cried out, "Grandpa, Father, Mother, it's my fault for not taking care of Little Angeline properly. I've failed you."
Knowing that Shirley was not of the Severes' bloodline, Mrs. Yorks felt sorry for her when she saw how obsequiously she behaved in front of the Severes’
elders.
She was about to step forward and help Shirley up when Lady Severe was one step ahead of her in helping Shirley up. She rebuked Shirley in a soft and gentle voice, "Silly child, you just gave birth. Don't cry, i t won't be good for your eyes."
Old Master Severe was moved to tears, saying, "Don't blame yourself, Shirley. I heard how you protected Angeline from the assault. The Severes are the ones who should be sorry. I'll take you home right now. From now on, you and Dawn will stay in the Severes' residence. Whether you want to get married or not is entirely up to you. I'll teach you how to manage a company so that you can join the Severes' company and help me out."
Mrs. Yorks looked at Old Master Severe in astonishment, shocked by the old man’s broadmindedness. Even though Shirley was not the Severes ' direct descendant, they still regarded her as one of their own.
Shirley nodded. "Okay."
Now that Shirley had found a home, Mrs. Yorks was both happy for her but also felt lonely and forlorn at the same time.
