The bodyguards who had been standing on guard near the restaurant had left with Ned. Kevin, who had been waiting at the entrance to the room, immediately entered to check on Angeline.Angeline stood there stiffly with her fists clenched. Her eyes were closed as tears trickled down her cheeks. "Ms. Emmerson! A-Are you okay?" Kevin took out a tissue and handed it to her."I'm fine." Angeline's eyes remained closed. "Mr. Watson, I… I want to be alone for a while. You can leave." Angeline thought everything was ridiculous. She had once thought that if Ned regained his memories, he would come back to her. She had thought that before he lost his memories, she was the person Ned loved the most in this world. After all, he was willing to risk his life to prevent her from getting hurt. The love that she had once taken as redemption. To Ned, it was nothing compared to Ingrid.Before she had decided to give up on Ned, she had seen him as someone more important than her life. Howeve
Angeline would have only gone back to River Town for Henrietta's case. Sean knew that. "It's been resolved." Angeline forced herself to sound cheerful. "I've already spoken to the parents of those kids, and I told them that I won't write a letter of understanding.""What time is your flight? I'll send someone to pick you up." Sean's voice left no room for discussion."Sir, it's a call from Mr. Lawson Senior…"Taylor's voice sounded from the other end of the phone. Angeline didn't refuse Sean's kind gesture, and she answered, "I'll land at around 11:30 pm. Thank you.""Send me a message when you arrive," Sean instructed. "Okay."After returning from River Town, Angeline didn't sleep for the entire night. The next morning, she didn't say anything and just shut herself in her dorm room to memorize her materials. A week before Angeline and James were about to set off for Dmont, the case's verdict was issued. Due to the severity of the case, Michael, the principal offender, was
A week ago, Lawson Global's subsidiary, Kance Corporation, received two consecutive fines. One was from Marvonia and cost 200 million while the other was from Coldor and cost 100 million. As the decision maker of Lawson Global, Sean had decided to back out of the market in both Marvonia and Coldor. Not only did Sean have to explain this to the board of directors, but he also had to issue commands for each proposal. Everyone in Lawson Global was insanely busy. This time, Sean didn't use his private jet for Angeline, for he was worried that they would start targeting her, too. After he had watched Angeline go through airport security, Taylor left the airport and headed for the Cloudsville branch office. In the airport lounge, Tanisha saw that Angeline was reading materials with her head lowered. She didn't want to disturb Angeline, so she picked up her phone and began looking at the current trending topics on the internet.The first trending topic was an exclusive interview wi
"No!" Ingrid refused, agitated. She pinched her forehead wearily. "Ms. Davis, let me think about it alone."Linda gripped her phone tightly and nodded. "Okay, I'll be at the door."She walked out of the dressing room and glanced at Ingrid, who hadn't finished getting her makeup done. Hesitant, she walked over to the side and called Ned."Hello, Mr. Fletcher…"Linda told Ned about the issue with the endorsement. She took full responsibility for the mistake. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Fletcher. I didn't know that the person who saved him was your ex-wife. I really thought that Mr. Norwalk was looking for Ingrid. After all, they only knew your name, and they mentioned the uniform of Oceanford College! I thought that Ingrid had saved him, so I accepted on her behalf. I didn't tell Ingrid the details as she has been busy with the shooting schedule, and you were in the hospital. But today, the interview with Norwalk Corporation's CEO started trending, and Ingrid just found out why they wante
Ingrid was furious.When Linda saw Ingrid looking at her with widened eyes and an aggrieved expression, she tried to calm down before speaking."Do you know how much your popularity has soared because of Norwalk? The moment you clarify and say that Mr. Fletcher's ex-wife was the one who saved Mr. Norwalk, then all the affairs between you, Mr. Fletcher, and his ex-wife will be revealed at once. Don't you remember what happened two years ago? Someone splashed paint on your front door, and you didn't even dare to go out. As soon as you clarify, the cyberbullying will be worse than ever!"Ingrid thought about what had happened two years ago. She bit her lower lip hard, and her eyes reddened. …Ned had already called Angeline five or six times, but her phone remained off. It was the same even when he tried calling with another phone. Ned tried to call Gregory and found that his phone was off too. That was when he remembered his mother had mentioned that Gregory and James would be he
Just then, the doorbell rang.When Angeline heard it, she thought that Tanisha had forgotten her hotel room card. She went to open the door, still clutching the materials that she had yet to categorize. She was about to speak but the words stuck in her throat.Gregory was standing outside the door with Ned. He said rather apologetically, "My cousin came all the way here. He said he has something to say to you, so I…"Ned had told Gregory that he had something very important to tell Angeline. Gregory had wondered if his scumbag cousin finally had some conscience and was there to pursue his wife.If that were the case, Angeline's baby would have a father. That was why Gregory had brought Ned over. "I don't think I have anything to say to Mr. Fletcher," Angeline replied and immediately closed the door, her expression cold. "Wait!" Ned stepped up to block the door from closing. "Angeline, don't force me to threaten you.""Haven't you threatened me enough?" Angeline's voice was fil
"I've never thought of getting anything in return for saving someone, even if he was the second son of the Norwalks!"There was a slight smile on Angeline's lips. "I can remain silent about this, but if I take the money and Ingrid is revealed to be the impostor who claimed to save Mr. Norwalk when she didn't, then I'll be forced to stand out and explain this! Or you might even reveal all the transaction records and push the blame on me to save Ingrid." She was right. Ned looked grim. "You brought a non-disclosure agreement with you, didn't you?" The smile on her face remained unchanged, but the sinister look in her eyes sent a chill down his spine. "Ned, I was so wrong about you. You really disgust me! Since we're divorced, why can't you just be gone? Why do you have to keep tangling with me? I'm just your despicable ex-wife with a questionable character, right? Can't you two live without me?"Ned's expression contorted. "Angeline, do you want the Emmersons to go and make a fuss
On Ned's birthday, Ingrid had looked at Angeline imperceptibly when she refused to attend Ned's birthday party. That was what had triggered Ned. When Anne passed away, Ingrid stood in the doorway of the morgue and righteously rebuked Ned for pushing Anne, intending to make Angeline fall out with Ned completely. Angeline knew it all.She thought Ingrid had only used those means because she truly loved Ned. After all, at that time, Angeline had already decided to dump Ned.However, everyone in Oceanford knew Ingrid and Tommy were very close. Tommy had been humiliating and bullying Angeline for over two years. She believed Ingrid wasn't the one who instructed Tommy. Ingrid didn't encourage Tommy, but she had always turned a blind eye to his doings and condoned his actions. Because of her indulgence, Tommy ended up drugging Angeline and hiring people to bully Henrietta. After Angeline fled from Emmerson Village, the tragedy began after she got involved with Ned and Ingrid.S
