Blinking her eyes open, Angeline looked around the familiar environment. Right, it was where Jay had forcefully induced her labor.
Angeline stared in surprise as two gentle and prettylooking maids entered the room with a cleaning basin. "I heard thunders and explosions from Imperial Capital last night. What was that all about?"
The two maids halted, their eyes immediately reddening. They choked out a reply, "We don't know what happened either, except that it came from Tourmaline Estate.”
Angeline's expression grew doubtful. "You're hiding something from me, aren't you?"
The two maids hung their heads, not daring to speak another word.
Lifting the covers, Angeline ran out barefooted.
Outside the bedroom was stationed two members of Ghost by the doors, guarding it. Seeing Angeline, they immediately bowed respectfully.
Angeline reached out to pinch the man’s lapels. Such quality suits could only come from Grand Asia.
"Where's Jay Ares?" Angeline immediately assumed that Jay must have locked her up in this mysterious place.
Not knowing how to answer Angeline's question, the two members opted to remain silent.
Angeline spared the two aforementioned maids a glance. It was evident that the four of them worked under Jay, or how else could she explain the unspoken agreement to not answer any of her questions?
Angeline searched every room looking for him, but Jay was nowhere in sight.
All she found was Grayson, walking out of the study with a new copy of their divorce papers. Walking toward Angeline, Grayson spoke in a grim tone, "The president is sorry for his selfish actions, forcing you to stay by his side his entire life. As of now, he’s decided t o return your freedom to you."
Grayson handed Angeline the divorce papers again.
Angeline took them. She had not been able to read through its contents yesterday due to her loss of sight.
Therefore today, she would take a good look at how ruthless Jay treated his ex-lovers.
Flipping open the first page, the anger in Angeline's eyes slowly transformed into confusion with every word she read.
Written in black and white, Jay had not only left all the children in her care but had given her all his assets as well. The word 'Majeure' was written on the line stating the reason for the divorce.
