After sensing the love and concern from her child and hearing Jens' whisper, tears welled up in Angeline’s eyes.
"Oh, Jens."
"I’m taking you home, Mommy!"
Jenson took Angeline's hand, then carried Angeline on his back before walking outside.
The shareholders’ meeting was over.
As the participants left the scene in succession, Sera slumped to the ground like a leaf falling in the bleak autumn breeze.
At the thought that Steven, her backing, had been mercilessly thrown into prison by Jenson, Sera felt like her world had collapsed.
Ultimately, Sera thought of her mother—the Ares family’s Madam Ares. She clambered to her feet in distress and rushed home as quickly as she could.
Both Madam Ares and Anne were best friends initially. Both of them had also joined Bell Enterprise now. They thought that once Bell Enterprise regained its glorious position after Angeline was forced to step down, they would be able to bask in Bell Enterprise’s glory as well.
However, when they saw Sera rush home while looking crestfallen and despondent, their hearts sank.
"Dad got locked up, Mom. Please beg Master Ares to release Dad." Sera held Madam Ares’ hand and begged anxiously.
After hearing what she said, Madam Ares’ charming and graceful body seemingly aged ten years in a flash.
She shuddered and asked in disbelief, "How could this be? Didn’t Steven say that he’s confident that it’ll work this time?"
Eager to defend her daughter, Madam Ares scolded Anne, "How can you say that to our daughter, Anne?"
Anne wept. "Did I say anything wrong? It’s all your fault. You’re the one who gave me this cursed child and that’s why I’m having such a rough life. Where am I supposed to go now that I’ve severed ties with the Severe family?"
Sera was hit hard by Anne’s words. She slumped dejectedly on the ground, crying and muttering, "You’re right, I am a jinx. Why are you still following me then? You should all leave!"
Madam Ares felt sorry for Sera and hugged her, saying, "You are not a jinx, Sera. You must pull yourself together. I promise that I’ll beg Jay to let your Dad go. As long as your dad can come out alive, you’ll be Bell Enterprise’s daughter. Don’t give up on yourself yet."
It was as if she had seen a beam of light in the dark. Sera said, "Let’s go right now, Mom."
Madam Ares nodded. "Mm."
