The Lucky Wife novel Chapter 1578

Chloe was incredulous by Cole’s audacity to chase her away. Taking advantage of her noble status, she said unscrupulously, “I am Doomsday’s admiral. I have a higher position than you, and I am your elder in terms of status. How dare you chase me away, Cole Yorks?”

Cole said, "Aunt Chloe, a hero is silent about their past glories. You being Doomsday’s admiral is now a thing of the past. Do you think that you still deserve the title of admiral with the current state of your health?”

Upon returning to Doomsday, Chloe had been held in high esteem, and she enjoyed the sense of honor brought to her by this title.

Cole, however, touched her raw nerve, crushing the last bit of vanity she had left. Chloe broke down emotionally and flew into a rage.

“Are you itching for a beating, Cole Yorks? I will make sure your father strikes you 30 times. I’d like to see how you’ll keep being so arrogant after that.”

Cole said, “Angeline is my guest. I’m willing to take 100 strikes without a single complaint, let alone 30.”

Angeline finally swallowed the mouthful of food. Sis Shirley handed her a glass of water. She rinsed her mouth, not in the mood to enjoy Imperial Capital’s delicacies anymore.

She left the dining table and walked up to Chloe slowly. Angeline was clearly furious and resentful, but in front of Chloe, she was just like an airless balloon as she allowed her to push her around as she liked.

Her voice was soft and carried no force. “Mom, when you sling mud at me, you’re just bringing disgrace to the Yorks as well as hurting Jaybie. I hope you will be cautious with your words and actions in the future.”

Chloe stared at Angeline in disbelief. "Are you trying to educate me on how to be a human?”

Angeline remained gentle. "Mom, you’re biased in your words and deeds. I’m only reminding you for your own good lest you harm your own reputation.”

Chloe stood up abruptly and slapped Angeline in the face.

Angeline did not dodge. She looked at her with tears in her eyes. Her tone was stern and firm as she warned her, “This is the second time you’ve hit me, Mom. I hope there won’t be a third time.”
