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

As Angeline retreated in fear from a livid Ned, she missed her footing. She fell down the stairs, followed by a cry from the crowd. Despite the amplifying noise around her, Angeline could only feel an excruciating pain in her stomach. She clutched her stomach tightly in pain and felt heat streaming out of her body as though something was slowly flowing out of her. Angeline wished someone could save her twins—the only family she had left. "Angie!"Angeline dazedly spotted Sean rushing toward her through the crowd."Sean…" Angeline reached out a hand to Sean, attempting to tell him to save their babies. But darkness soon consumed her consciousness, and her hand fell limp as she fainted. "Angie!" Sean kneeled and wrapped Angeline in his coat. He carried her and yelled, "Send us to the hospital!" At the operating theater in the hospital, Taylor hung up his phone and walked toward Sean with a hardened expression. "Sir, they've checked the surveillance camera. It seem

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
