The Lucky Wife novel Chapter 796

It suddenly dawned on Angeline. The love and attention the Severe family had once showered her in was only because Jay liked her then.

Now that they had broken up, the honor she once wore was no longer.

She may not want to admit it, but such was the truth.

Father once respected her because she would be the Ares family’s future daughter-in-law as her status would be advantageous to the Severe family.

Angeline sighed. “I understand.”

She felt upset. “Here I thought that family would always be a safe space for us. I was wrong. The life of the nouveau riche would always be a battle.”

The old master replied, “It’s good that you understand.”

Angeline was hollowed out with sorrow. “And I choose to withdraw from this fight.”

Angeline left, sullen.

The old master stared at her retreating figure, his eyes deep with thought. “It’s unlike you to run away from challenges, Angeline.”

Returning to the bedroom, Angeline buried her face into the pillow and let her tears drench it as they wished.

Jay had thrown her away, and her father viewed her with contempt.

Angeline felt herself struggling to breathe as the two sudden turns of events weighed heavily on her chest.

She felt inferior and unconfident.

So long was the Angeline of the past. So long was the carefree and innocent laughter.

She found herself unworthy of such pleasures.

The three children hid by the door as they eavesdropped on Mommy choking on tears.
