Angeline merely hoped that this child would get to be whoever they wanted to be.
The atmosphere at the family event was akin to a wildfire that had been ignited. Even the Ares family's mistresses began to flock around Angeline to give her their blessings.
No one seemed to have noticed that at this moment, there was a faint scent of fragrant wood wafting through the air.
When the smell of fragrant wood became stronger, someone fainted and fell to the ground.
Someone else yelled, "Ahhh! snakes!"
Very quickly, the entire scene became chaotic.
Jay held Angeline in his arms and continuously looked over at the people who were toppling over one another. He said restlessly, "You must leave this place immediately, Angeline."
Angeline said, "What about you?"
Angeline was holding Jay’s hand, reluctant to leave him. Her eyes were filled with concern at the moment. However, she could not bring herself to so selfishly ask Jay to go with her and have him disregard the others.
After all, so many people had collapsed. How could Jay, the eldest grandson of the Ares family, put his own safety first before matters of principle?
Jay coaxed Angeline, saying, "I'll be fine. I'll ask the Ghost members to escort you. You’ll have to leave with Josie and the others. Listen to me and go right now."
At this time, Josie and Zayne ran over to pull Angeline away with them.
"Jaybie..." Angeline cried out.
Jay felt immensely tormented. All he wanted to do at this very moment was comfort the worried and anxious Angeline.
"There's no need to worry about me, Angeline."
"You have to come back safely."
"Alright."
When Angeline and the others had left with the wave o f people, only Jay and Cole, who was fighting alongside him, remained in the courtyard.
