"Let me be blunt with you, Mr. Severe. Angeline is the woman that I, Cole Yorks, like. I'll take her away from Swallow City when I'm done handling my affairs. Before then, I want you to ensure that she remains unscathed. If anything happens to her, I’ll make sure that none of the Severe family members will die a natural death." Cole gritted his teeth, his clear and melodious voice shrouded in a trace of coolness. His voice did not sound furious nor sullen, yet it was able t o make anyone feel terrified as if a devil was here to claim somebody’s life.
"Of course, if you treat my Angeline kindly, then I won't treat the Severe family unfairly. Fame or fortune, I'll give it to you."
George did not know who Cole was, but at the sight of his haughtiness, he decided against provoking him. "M r. Yorks, come in and have a cup of tea."
He wanted to know more about Cole.
Angeline glared at Cole hard and threatened him soundlessly. 'Take one step into the house and you’ll see!'
Cole hesitated. "Thank you, Mr. Severe, for the hospitality, but I still have something to do today. I guess I won't be going in anymore. Please send two servants to come and unload the trunks, Mr. Severe."
He was behaving in a domineering manner just moments ago but withered within seconds in front of Angeline.
His change in attitude was hilarious to watch.
The Severe family was now in a state of utter poverty. Where were they supposed to find any servants to order around?
George looked slightly embarrassed.
Angeline said, "We don't have any servants at home, Cole."
Cole brushed the tip of his nose sheepishly. "Okay then. I'll unload them myself."
After unloading the trunk, he was so exhausted that his forehead was drenched with sweat.
When George saw the supplements piled up like a hill, the corners of his eyes began to twitch.
Angeline snapped. "We’re not running a pharmacy. Why are you giving me all these supplements?"
Cole began introducing them one by one. "This is for treating external injuries. As long as it doesn’t involve the bones and tendons, the wound is guaranteed to heal overnight.
