After piercing a few thorns into Zayne’s heart, Angeline took a jab at Emmy while pointing at her.
"Emmy, I don't care whether you’re going after Zayne because of true love or you’ve taken a fancy to his upper class background. I'd still like to talk about the harsh truth. Firstly, since you and Zayne started this relationship on an immoral grounds, you'll end up being an immoral couple. You have your own kid, and he has his own, so it’s better to sign a prenup before your marriage and leave your own assets to your own kids."
Seeing the astonishment in Emmy's eyes, Angeline knew that Emmy never expected to keep such a tight leash on money.
Jay came over with a glass of water and said diligently, "You’ve worked hard, my darling. Drink some tea to quench your thirst."
When Angeline retrieved the glass from him, she noticed Jay casting an encouraging look at her.
"Very well said.”
Jay quietly praised her.
Angeline immediately blushed at this. She was not such a vain and snobbish person, but she could not bear the thought of Zayne and Josie getting a divorce. Hence, she wanted Zayne to witness this woman's
true colors. She wanted him to act in the nick of time and turn back around.
There were tears of grievance in Emmy's eyes. She looked at Zayne wrongfully and said, "I never intended to tear your family apart, Zaynie. I never wanted any o f your wealth either. I just simply like you for you."
"I know," said Zayne.
Angeline slammed the glass of water onto the table angrily and added, "Secondly, if you truly do plan on marrying Zayne, I’ll have to remind you in advance that Zayne was the Ares family's son-in-law. He entered the Ares household empty-handed, so he'll leave the Ares household with nothing to his name."
Emmy's eyes appeared complicated, but she soon recovered her calmness.
Angeline ultimately used her trump card. "After you divorce Josie, Joseph will never choose to go with you, Zayne. Hence, Joseph's full custody rights will be handed to Josie. If our parents find out that you've lost their darling grandson, they won't let you step foot inside the Severe’s household. When that time comes, you’ll merely be a target of scorn on the streets."
