Chapter 2

  "Angelica Su, you’re not that important to him, after all. I wasted my time here for nothing!"   Wendy Wang paced in front of her, her high heels clicking, looking at her with a trace of disgust.   She originally thought that John had come for his brother’s wife, so she sent Angelica Su into this study belonging to John Jiang.   She hoped that Angelica Su can seduce John Jiang and make him let Roy go.   But even though John Jiang had taken her, he still took her son away!   Wendy Wang screamed in anger. “John Jiang, that bastard! Why didn't he die on that island in the first place! Why did he suddenly come back and take everything from Roy!”   Her scarlet-painted fingers twitched together as she looked at Angelica Su, who was struggling to get up from the ground.   "Angelica Su, no matter what, you must rescue Roy from John’s hands. You are the cause of all this!"   Angelica Su smiled coldly. “What exactly happened that turned him into a ruthless devil? He wasn’t like this before. I’m just curious what you did to him.”   Three years ago, he had a car accident. At that time, she felt that the sky was about to fall.   Knowing that he had been rescued in time, there was a glimmer of light in her sad world.   As long as he was alive, as long as he was safe, she felt contented.   However, when he came back, he couldn't wait to swallow her alive...   After he came back, he easily got the sympathy of Jiang Tai's major shareholders.   Overnight, Roy Jiang was accused of money laundering and became a target of public criticism. That night, Roy Jiang ran away trying to escape abroad for a while, but just yesterday, he came back, covered in blood, with his brother. John said that Roy Jiang had met pirates while walking on the waterway, and waited for a chance to rescue him. At that time, Roy Jiang was dying.   Roy Jiang's hands had been chopped off.   Was it really the work of pirates?   John Jiang's brutal face flashed in Angelica's mind, and it became clear to her that indeed, he had changed.   Angelica Su shivered at the mere thought of it.   Wendy Wang concealed the panic in her eyes, her red lips twitched, "That bastard has always been a monster, who bites people! Jiang Tai Company is Roy’s, why should he take it away? Angelica Su, you don’t even say anything. If you can't rescue Roy, you can forget about seeing your son again!"   Alarmed, she took a step closer to Wendy Wang, and asked nervously, “How did you get Bien? Just tell me what you want. But don’t hurt Bien!”   Wendy Wang grunted while walking around the room and with a sharp voice, “I will not hurt him, but if my son dies in John Jiang’s hands, I will throw your son into the sea to be eaten by the fish! If you don’t believe it, then try me!”   With that, she stepped out the room, with the sound of her high-heels echoing in the quiet hall.   Angelica Su felt so depressed, she pinched her thighs with her fingers. Her melancholy eyes filled with endless resentment.   Bien is the center of her life, she can’t allow Wendy Wang to hurt him!   The next day, Jiang Tai's equity change made the headlines.   Jiang Tai smoothly transitioned from Roy to John Jiang.   Roy Jiang, the former president of Jiang Tai Company, was sued by the court for money laundering and squandering funds of major shareholders. Because of Roy Jiang 's severe injuries, he was temporarily released on bail pending trial.   On the television, Internet and the newspapers, John Jiang was the center of attention.   Praised for his wisdom and courage, he was said to have rescued his younger brother Roy Jiang and preventing him from ruining the entire Jiang Tai. Public opinion of him and of the company rose up almost overnight.   Angelica Su was sitting on the sofa, watching the television featuring John Jiang who was attending various occasions. That tall and handsome man who was once gentle as jade had now become so cold that it chilled her deep down to her bones.   As time passed, his face reflected his sophistication, signifying his successful status in life, and it made people reluctant to approach him.   She was lost for a moment, then she smiled sadly. The man she had missed for the past three years has came back, yet he was seemingly a hundred thousand miles away.   “Aah! That bastard John Jiang! Why didn’t he die in the first place? Why is he still alive?”   She heard her mother-in-law, Wendy Wang, screaming like having an intermittent psychotic attack in the living room downstairs.   Angelica Su forced herself up, turned off the TV and went to the closet to choose the clothes she would wear.   She chose an off-white dress with dots on the skirt. She took the dress from the rack, hugged it for a moment then put it on.   Angelica Su arrived at the president’s office on the ninth floor of Jiang Tai, and the scene in front of her made her heart ache.
