Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 1035
Sean merely looked at Melissa with pursed lips. He didn't say anything."Why are you looking at me like that, Shane? Can't you save Kirby?" Melissa's tears rolled down her face.Sean said slowly, "I've asked Brayden to keep an eye on things. I need to head to Krontos to deal with something, so I'll see what the situation is like. I can't promise that I can get Kirby out, though. It isn't our turf, after all."Melissa nodded. "Thanks, Shane."He stood up, his eyes still on her. Ultimately, he said patiently, "Be good and remember to take all your meals. Don't throw any tantrums!""Okay." She nodded again.It was only after Sean was gone that she relaxed. She knew he suspected her. Still, there wasn't anything she needed to worry about on Kirby's side. He wouldn't rat on her, no matter how badly he was tortured.At most, he would say the same thing as before—that he'd gone after Monica because he was worried for Melissa when he saw how Sean still refused to accept Melissa.

Sean held Angeline's hand. "I'll deal with this. I'll get you a glass of water.""I want to take a shower first…" Angeline massaged her temples. "Today's liquor seemed particularly strong, and I was in the wind earlier. My head's aching.""Take a bath, then. I'll draw you one," he said softly."Okay." She nodded. "Thanks."Sean drew Angeline a bath in the master bedroom's bathroom. When he came out and saw her leaning against the couch, looking tired while resting her eyes, he went to the kitchen to get her some water with honey.Just then, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw the call was from an unknown number. Still, she answered it. "Hello?"The person on the other end of the line didn't seem to expect her to answer. He sounded choked up as he said, "Angie…"Angeline opened her eyes with a frown. It was Ned. She'd previously set her phone to reject all calls from unknown numbers but later changed it because Kirby was arrested. She'd forgotten to change it b

"I'll be at Grand Court Residences soon—give me two minutes! I'll be there just after turning this corner!" Ned said urgently, afraid Angeline would turn him down.She pursed her lips. "Fine.""Don't rush, okay? I'll wait for you downstairs. Put on a jacket or something. It still gets a little chilly at night," he said.Angeline hung up and got up. With her phone in hand, she told Sean, "I'm going downstairs for a while.""To see Ned?" he asked grimly."Yeah. He's just downstairs, and I'll be back soon."Sean's frown deepened at her words. "Why would you still need to see him?"She didn't explain. All she said was, "There's something I need to confirm. I'll be right back."Sean was still extremely bothered by Ned. After all, Ned and Angeline had grown up together and were childhood sweethearts.In the past, Sean had shown up before Angeline as her elder, trying to stop her from being with Ned. He knew how deeply she'd loved Ned.If Ned hadn't hurt Angeline so thorough

Angeline didn't want to leave any photos of Jessica at the Emmerson residence. After all, she knew the latter was still alive. So, she'd destroyed the photo before leaving the place. Ned had been there with her.Now, Ned headed to the back of the car and opened the trunk, pulling out a photo slotted between the pages of a notebook. He handed it to Angeline.Her pupils constricted at it. In the photo, Jessica was haggard and almost skeleton-like after the torment she'd been through, and her eyes had been devoid of light. The clothes she wore were Juliet's—she'd only been allowed to change into them for the photo."I happened to stumble upon a secondhand store owned by someone from Lonla when I was abroad, and I found this photo inside. I bought the whole album and took this photo out for you." Ned fixed his gaze on Angeline.He continued, "Later, I saw the photo Mallory posted on her Twitter. You were too young then, so you might not remember…"He took out his phone and pulled up

Angeline looked at the photo, unable to hide her hatred and disgust for the Emmerson family. She held out a hand in Ned's direction. "Lend me your lighter."He was taken aback for a while before pulling his lighter out of his pocket. He handed it to Angeline and watched as she set a corner of the photo on fire, her expression aloof.Ned moved his gaze from the photo to Angeline's face. He didn't think he'd done anything pointless. At least it had given him the chance to see Angeline, whom he'd been dreaming of for days.But once the photo was destroyed, he wouldn't have any excuse to see her anymore. He knew there was no way she would agree to see him if not for the matter being related to Jessica.The photo curled from the heat, and the flames slowly burned away Juliet's smiling face as she held Benjamin in her arms. Next to go was George, who was also beaming. Then, Jessica and Angeline, whose expressions were stoic and indifferent, were the last.Angeline only released the ph

Angeline merely glanced at Ned before turning to head inside the apartment building. Ned remained rooted to the spot as he clenched his fists tighter. His breathing sped up as he watched Angeline disappear inside and the doors shut behind her.She arrived in the elevator lobby and had just pressed the call button for the elevator when Ned charged inside. His facial recognition scan was still valid, so he wasn't barred from entering the building.Just as Angeline stepped inside the elevator and pressed the button for the penthouse, he burst inside with her. His chest heaved as he watched her. He pressed the button for the fourth floor before turning back to stare at her with a heartbroken look.Knowing that his apartment was on the fourth floor, she paid him no mind. But as soon as the elevator arrived at the fourth floor, Ned grabbed Angeline's arm and dragged her out with him. He unlocked his door and dragged her inside."What the hell, Ned?" she yelled. The door slammed shut be

"Even if you die, it won't bring Anne back…" Angeline looked into Ned's eyes. The iciness in her voice hurt him. "Ned, you no longer have a place in my heart, and I don't need you anymore! I once told you that you used to be my entire world. All the happiness I had in my life came from you, but now… there are many people who make me happy, and you're not one of them!"Every word she said made it clear to Ned that she would not consider him. In the past, Angeline's world had been so small that Ned was the only one in it.Now, Angeline's world was very big. It was big enough to contain everyone except for Ned.Angeline pushed Ned aside, pulled the door open, and entered the elevator once more. Ned could neither hurt Angeline nor force her to do anything. The only thing he could do was to watch her leave as tears rolled down his cheeks. He loved Angeline more than anything. He had considered forcing her to be with him and to take her for his own. He had even considered usin

"Don't worry. No one will find out about what your mother experienced in Emmerson Village. Mr. Lawson Senior has covered any trace of her very well! Besides, Jessica has always been the only successor to Lawson Global." Sean held Angeline's soft hand in his and comforted her gently.Just as Angeline had said to Ned, no one would believe that the only daughter of the Lawsons and the only successor to Lawson Global had once been abducted and sold to a remote, poor place like Emmerson Village.If Rowan hadn't deceived Jessica, she would never have left her bodyguards' sight.Besides, in order to protect Jessica, Robert had never announced her disappearance to the public. He had only claimed that Jessica had been facing challenges in her mental health due to how strict he had been on her and that he had sent her abroad to recuperate. When they finally found Jessica, Robert had come up with the story of Angeline's birth mother and her child dying on the operating table. This had been

As soon as the words were out of Angeline's mouth, the sound of lounge slippers padding across the floor rang out. Yasmine ignored the shock on Ned's face and turned to reach for Sean. "Hold me, Daddy!"Sean smiled and lifted her into his arms. Then, he stood beside Angeline and looked at Ned imperiously. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Fletcher. I'm Shane Kingston. Thank you for pushing Angie away in the past—it led to my relationship with her."Ned knew precisely who "Shane" was. Just a few days ago, he'd seen the news about Melissa's press conference explaining her relationship with "Shane".His mind buzzed. He knew Sean and Shane looked similar enough for Dexter's men to have gotten the wrong person. However, he hadn't expected "Shane" to have anything to do with Angeline!"You… Are you the kids' father?" Ned's voice was incredibly shaky."Yes, and again, thank you for that!" Sean smiled. "We've never told anyone about this because I didn't want to endanger Angie and the kids.

Sean didn't give Angeline the chance to finish. "You were right to bring this up to me!"He wrapped his arms around her from behind and continued, "You and the kids will always be my main priority. I know I said I want Melissa to remain safe and happy under my watch, but my feelings for her are purely familial love."She's family to me, and I must care for her. But you and the kids mean more to me than anything else in the world, including her."His honesty made Angeline feel slightly more at ease. She said, "Those are your words, not mine…""I swear on my life that I mean every word." He pressed a kiss to her head. "Can I stay here tonight? I want to sleep with you and the kids. Also, I came from Brayden's place upstairs, so no one will know I'm here.""Granddad made it clear that if anyone finds out about this, he won't allow the kids to see you anymore.""Got it. Don't worry about a thing. Mr. Lawson Senior raised me, and I owe him for that. I won't put him in a tough

Angeline nodded without saying anything. Once Nathaniel was gone, she received a call from Sean."Now that everything has been taken care of, I want to give you a gift," he said, the smile in his tone evident. "Can you have the kids spend Friday night at Grand Court Residences? I want to show all three of you my gift on Saturday."He missed Yasmine and Xavier terribly. Before resolving the issue with Melissa, he hadn't dared to say he wanted to see them. Even if Angeline were okay with it, Robert probably would've objected to his wishes. Now that the dust had settled, he couldn't wait to see them."I don't call the shots regarding the kids now. I'll have to ask Granddad," Angeline said."I'll talk to him about it." Sean was worried Robert would take his anger out on her. "This all started because I insisted on being with you, so I'll handle it. I'll visit Mr. Lawson Senior later today."Angeline didn't know how Sean's conversation with Robert went, but Robert had Asher drop

That night, Melissa called Sean. "Shane, let's publicly announce our divorce. We can tell everyone that we only got married on paper so the Lane family could offer you its protection."Tell them that Dexter repeatedly tried to harm you so he could take the Kingston family fortune, and tell them how he tried to snatch you from the Lane family so he could secretly deal with you."She paused, then continued, "Now that Dexter's in prison, we can get a divorce, and Lori can adopt me as her daughter. We'll become cousins, and we'll still be a family.""Melissa…"Sean was surprised. He didn't expect her to see the light in such a short time."Since you don't have any feelings for me and won't ever make me your wife, I'll settle to be Lori's daughter. That way, you'll always be my family!" Tears streamed down Melissa's face as she spoke. "I adore Lori and want to be her daughter.""Alright," Sean said."Can you head to Keman with me, then? We can visit Dad together before getting

Melissa stared at Lori, who chuckled gently. "It's alright. There's no need to rush into anything. Take your time to think about it. Get good rest for a few days, then go shopping with me. We can buy some clothes to keep up with the changing seasons."I heard from Brayden and Sean that you're the expert in fashion and dressing up. I've always wanted a daughter who could shop, exercise, travel, café hop, and go on spa days with me."She paused and continued, "I didn't get to do any of this with you because you weren't in the best state before this. Now, though, you're all better. You're back to normal, and you've regained your memories!""I'd love that!" Melissa said without hesitation. She'd only done these things with her mother and Emelia in her dreams, but that was all they were—dreams. She was delighted now that Lori was back and willing to make her dreams come true.Sean sat on the couch and sipped his coffee. He knew Lori was doing everything she could to make his life ea

Melissa nodded. Sean said, "I know you have no company management experience. Mr. Lane might have entrusted Trustworth Group to me, but it's still yours. Before you find someone to take over, my plan for the company is still to move its focus back to Lonla."The global situation isn't the best now, and Lonla is the safest place for expansion. That's why the company's focus has to return to Lonla—""You can hand the company over to Brayden," Melissa interrupted. "The only people in this world I trust are you, Dad, and Brayden. Now that Dad's in prison and you don't want me anymore, Brayden is all I have left.""I'm still your kin, Melissa. I won't kick you to the curb and leave you to die. Nevertheless, Trustworth Group is yours. You can have whoever you want to manage it. Brayden is capable of that." Sean looked at Brayden. "What do you think? Are you willing to take over Trustworth Group?""I'll do it as long as Melissa is okay with it!" Brayden nodded. He turned to look

"That's not it! I've always been willing to care for you, and I'm more than willing to care for you in the future! It's not something that I'm forced to do…" Brayden feared his words would inadvertently hurt Melissa, so he decided not to continue in that vein.He said, "C'mon, you should head downstairs to eat something. You've already slept the day away.""I don't want to eat!" Melissa lay down again and pulled the sheets around herself. She said dully, "I want to sleep for a bit longer. Shut the door on your way out."Seeing that she'd already shut her eyes and started weeping, Brayden said softly, "I'll have the kitchen keep the food warm for you. Remember to call me when you wake up, okay? I'll be right downstairs!""Okay." Brayden left the room after hearing Melissa's muffled reply. He shut the door behind him.Melissa remained upstairs. She didn't head downstairs, even when Sean returned. Sean had already spoken to Angeline on the phone and told her he wouldn't meet

Melissa slept in her room and only woke up at night. She removed her headphones and opened her red, swollen eyes. She stared dazedly at the night sky, only returning to her senses when her headphones fell out of her hands.Brayden, who'd been waiting outside this whole time, heard them fall to the floor and hurried into the room. He saw Melissa sitting cross-legged on the bed. She propped herself on one arm while leaning down to pick up the headphones.He hurried forward and picked them up for her, then remained on one knee by the bed. He looked up at her and said, "You slept for ages, Melissa. Do you want to have anything to eat? I got all your favorites, and there are different cuisines. I also got your favorite fruits and snacks!"He'd already had the maids throw out the food he'd bought at noon. Then, he'd had his subordinate buy a fresh batch.Melissa turned to look at him dazedly. She said hoarsely, "Brayden…""I'm here," he said. "C'mon, should we get something to eat

Melissa knew Sean well. So, it was impossible for her not to know if he was being serious. Sean was indeed threatening her, and he was using his life to do it. That way, she wouldn't dare to harm Angeline for fear of hurting him.She loved Sean so much that she could give up her life for him. She wondered why he was treating her that way. He knew she wouldn't allow even the slightest possibility of her threatening his safety.Just then, Sean received a call from Brayden. He said, "...Yeah, I've already picked Melissa up. We're heading to Southstream Manor now… Yeah, you can head over there. Buy some food on your way—Melissa probably hasn't eaten anything yet. She should be hungry."At his words, Melissa couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She covered her face and started sobbing. She'd spent her whole life dreaming of becoming Sean's wife, but he was now in love with someone else and no longer wanted her.Yet, she couldn't do anything about the situation, or she'd be hurting
