Ned knew Ingrid's favorite flowers were white roses!Feeling confused, Ned threw the sunflower bouquet into the trash can and left after taking a glimpse at Angeline.But Ned stopped after taking a few steps. He felt strange about how overly intimate Sean and Angeline were.Linda watched as Angeline and Sean left with the flower bouquet from the other side of the road. She quickly snapped a few photos and then called Ingrid."Hello, Ingie! Do you know who I saw while I was buying a coffee earlier? I'll send you the photos!" Linda hung up and was about to send all the photos, but suddenly, she hesitated.She was looking at the photo where Ned was holding a sunflower bouquet and stood before Angeline and Sean. Then, she looked at another photo where Angeline was holding the sunflower bouquet with a smile while leaving with Sean.Linda was still very concerned about getting Angeline to sign the NDA. So, she did some quick thinking. In the end, she only sent the two photos to Ingrid.
Ingrid locked her phone screen in panic and looked up with a pale face.She tried to force a smile, but tears started flooding her eyes. She quickly lowered her head and wiped her tears. "I'm so sorry."Simon was caught off guard and passed his handkerchief to Ingrid. "Forgive me, but did the two of you fight?"Ingrid shook her head. "No, I just lost my manner. Mr. Garrison is waiting for us. Let's go."Seeing that Ingrid didn't want to share, Simon didn't pursue with more questions and nodded gentlemanly."Do I look okay?" Ingrid forced a smile and looked at Simon with watery eyes."You look gorgeous. Beautiful and innocent like a fawn lost in woods," Simon praised with honesty while opening the door to the private room for Ingrid.Simon felt an indescribable feeling in his heart as he followed behind Ingrid.Admittedly, Simon knew Ingrid was attractive, and he always had a soft spot for innocent women who made him feel protective.He couldn't tell if it was because many year
Angeline's voice was pleasant to Simon's ear. He felt he had heard it before."I'm sorry to ask, but you sound familiar. Have we met somewhere before?" Simon asked politely."Forgive me for asking. But trust me, I wasn't trying to hit on you."Angeline smiled kindly. "Maybe. Unfortunately, I was in a car accident two years ago and recently woke up from a coma, so I don't remember most things."If we did meet before, it's fate that we've met again today."Angeline's confidence and generosity left a good impression on Simon, and he smiled merrily. Angeline was surprised to encounter Simon, the second son of the Norwalk family, here. But she didn't want to expose Ingrid for her deceit just yet.She thought it would be better for Simon to discover the truth himself."The conference will start in 20 minutes. I'll give it my best shot to answer you if you have any questions," Angeline said."Is that so? Thank you very much, Angeline!" Simon felt grateful.He was a biology enth
Linda first sent the photo to Ned before calling him. "Hi, Mr. Fletcher. We just received news that Angeline is having dinner with Simon. It seems like they're having fun."We don't know if Angeline has told him that she was the one that saved him. We're a bit worried because she hasn't signed the NDA. I've sent the photos to your WhatsApp. Please have a look."Ned clicked open the photos after hanging up the phone.Angeline wore a champagne gown with her hair clipped into a bun with a pearl barrette clip in the photo.The restaurant's atmosphere looked pleasant. Warm light shone over Angeline, accentuating her beautiful features. She was wearing a smile as she whispered into Simon's ear, looking extra dazzling.On the other hand, Simon was wearing a suit and a bow tie, looking like an aristocrat from the Renaissance period.Together, they looked stunning yet unpleasant to Ned's eyes.Ned subconsciously grasped his phone and ran out of the room after grabbing his woolen, long
Angeline never expected Monica to know about her and Sean's marriage registration. She obviously did not want Robert to find out.Angeline clenched her fist and asked, "Did you not investigate me in-depth, Ms. Scott?" Monica smiled and remained silent. She couldn't deny that she hadn't spent much time researching Angeline as she only stumbled upon their marriage registration by chance. Moreover, Monica felt she was at a completely different level than Angeline. She didn't think she needed to read too much about a commoner like Angeline. All she had to do was dismiss her away from Sean. "If you were to learn more about me, you'd know that I'm a relative of Mr. Lawson's biological family—the kind that's blood-related. I'm his only known relative in the world," Angeline said. Angeline had planned to keep her child with her and would divorce Sean once her child was born. Naturally, she would not want to cause any trouble for Sean. Noticing Monica's smile fading, Angeline slowl
Since Sean defied Robert, his only relative, to help Angeline, needless to say, Monica felt obliged to help her, too. Moreover, if Monica was friendly to Angeline, she might even help put in some good words for her with Sean. Ned could only watch as Angeline and Monica left since Llyod blocked him from approaching them. Angeline told Monica at the hotel entrance, "Thank you for saving me, Ms. Scott." "You're Sean's relative. I have to help you out," Monica said. "If you would like to repay me, how about you help me pass a message to Sean? "Tell him that our marriage is merely a business transaction. I believe I'll be his best business partner!" Sean wouldn't even pick up Monica's call. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Angeline to pass her message to him. For Sean to have a better foothold in Lawson Global right now, he needed the status of being the son-in-law of the Scott family.Monica was ambitious. She always wanted to surpass her sisters as the true successor of
Angeline hung up the phone. She then organized her notes from the conference earlier in the day and planned to deliver them to James. But when she opened the door, she was greeted with the sight of Ned, who was about to press the doorbell to her room.Angeline's expression turned stoic. "Leave me alone, Ned!" "Simon, huh? You're that close to him already?" Ned jeered. "I'm warning you, Angeline. You better stay away from that Simon guy. Someone with your background shouldn't even imagine being with him! "Also, I told you to get an abortion. So do it right now!" Angeline scoffed. "Where do you get off telling me what to do? Let me tell you something, Ned Fletchers. When I cared about you, I would do anything you asked. Now that I don't give a shit about you, you're… you're nothing to me!"Ned grabbed Angeline's arm and pulled forcefully, causing her notes to scatter all over the floor. "Those are my babies in your belly. I have the right to decide if they should be bor
The fear of losing her babies crept into Angeline's mind. She bit her lip and yelled, "Send me to the hospital!" Ned looked back at Angeline slumped against the door while clutching her stomach. Before he could react, the bodyguard lifted her into his arms and ran to the hospital. Ned felt a tug at his heartstrings. He wanted to follow Angeline, but the bodyguards stopped him and mercilessly called the police in Ravorian. "You're not going anywhere before the police arrive, Mr. Fletcher," the bodyguard said with a stoic face. …Sean had just landed at Lonla when he received the news about Angeline from Ravoria. Sadness quickly covered his expression. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lawson. It's our fault for not protecting Ms. Emmerson," the bodyguard said. "Fortunately, both Ms. Emmerson and her babies are safe. The doctor said she would be hospitalized for a night and discharged tomorrow morning." Sean turned to Taylor after hanging up the phone and said, "Taylor, bring the meetings
