Jay said in an indifferent tone, "I'll remind Angeline to take a detour whenever she sees you next time."
Chloe was nonplussed again.
"What do you mean by that, Jay? Are you blaming me for provoking Angeline?" Chloe could not believe that her beloved son would love Angeline so much that he could no longer tell right from wrong.
She was extremely disappointed in Jay. "Do you know what she did to me? She slapped me and scolded me, but instead of accusing her, you’re blaming me for provoking her?"
Jay said in a cold voice, "You owe her a life, Mom."
Chloe widened her eyes. "What do you mean by that? S o you think she's supposed to kill me?" Chloe started crying aggrievedly. "You’re just siding with your wife."
Jay said with pink eyes. "I sided with you once and ended up hurting Angeline greatly. You're both of equal importance to me, Mom. Now you're trying to take one of them away from me, do you think I won't feel hurt?"
Chloe roared, "You’re plain silly!"
Jay instructed Judy and Sandra, "Send my mom home." Having said that, he turned around and left.
Chloe watched the Rolls-Royce pull away with tears streaming down her face. "I've failed as a mother. My daughter-in-law is pushing me around and my son only knows how to help her. Why am I even living in this world?"
Sandra consoled her, saying, "Cheer up, Chloe. Jay is connected with you by blood. If Angeline wants to fight with you, she may not necessarily win. I've lived for so long and have only heard of couples divorcing but never a pair of mother and son cutting off ties with each other."
Chloe's eyes were burning with the will to fight again. " I don't believe I can't beat you, Angeline Severe."
In the Rolls-Royce.
Jay and Angeline sat in the backseat. Jay studied Angeline's expression in silence, hoping to detect any sort of repercussions of the incident from her face.
However, Angeline looked extremely calm.
"What did she say to you?" Jay knew that his mother had a sharp tongue and was absolutely capable of making Angeline furious.
Angeline beat around the bush and said, "What else can she say? She bends my ears saying the same things. There's nothing novel about her remarks."
"How did you answer her?" Jay was more concerned about how Angeline, who was suffering from anxiety, would react when provoked by his mother.
