Jay strode forward with his long legs and was about to leave.

Angeline stood rooted to the spot in a daze.

The expression on her dark face looked like that of an aggrieved and resentful woman. "Hey, aren't you supposed to send me home after treating me to a meal? Wouldn't it be dangerous for me to go back alone?"

Jay's tall and sturdy back stiffened. He then turned around and said, "Almighty Ms. Severe, you're just like a high and mighty queen in Imperial Capital. Who would have the nerve to beard the lion in his den?" Angeline immediately put on a pitiful and helpless look like she was a little lamb. She shamelessly grabbed onto his sleeves with her tiny hands. "There are too many men who covet a peerless and natural beauty like me. My bodyguards will normally be by my side, but none of them are around to protect me today. I'm scared to go back alone."

Jay's lips twitched violently. "I'd believe you if you say that they covet your money. Unless the man is blind, who would covet you for your beauty?"

Angeline was so furious that her hands balled up into fists where he could not see. She was dying to knock out this sharp-tongued man with her fists.

The tears in Angeline's eyes were gushing out like spring water. She was already a drama queen to start with. What was more, she knew this man's weaknesses like the back of her hand.

As long as she worked hard to show the weak side of her, his sympathy would start to overflow.

When Jay saw her tearing up, however, instead of sympathizing with her, he looked at her with disgust." Are your tears worthless?"
