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
Angeline couldn't find a reason for Robert's presence. Her expression was vacant."Of course, Sean doesn't know I'm here in Dmont. If it can be kept a secret, I don't plan on letting Sean know we've met," Robert said. He set aside his glasses and book on a small table beside him. He then picked up a compatibility report and continued, "My daughter needs a kidney transplant. The doctors said a relative's kidney would improve the chances of a successful transplant... I'm too old to be a match, but your kidney is perfect for her. Would you be willing to donate?"Despite requesting Angeline's help, Robert was still reluctant to acknowledge her as his granddaughter."She..." Angeline began. She was supporting her frail body with her weak arms as she lifted herself in bed. Her tear-filled eyes were filled with concern. "What's happened to her?""That's none of your concern. If you're unwilling, I can, of course, find a suitable kidney for my daughter elsewhere. Don't worry about
Upon learning of Angeline's achievements in various competitions, Robert was reminded of his once-brilliant daughter. He felt proud that Angeline was indeed his granddaughter. Yet, this pride was tainted by a more profound loathing for the Emmerson family, which had destroyed his daughter's life. That led to a renewed distaste for Angeline.However, this time, Robert seemed to let go of his disdain for her after seeing Angeline's appeal on a TV program for harsher penalties for kidnappers and traffickers. He sensed that Angeline was giving her all to save the mother she once couldn't. He knew that if given the choice, Angeline would trade her life for a chance to turn back time and prevent his daughter's kidnapping. Thus, Robert found it in himself to forgive Angeline.The talk of a kidney donation in the hospital room was merely a test for Angeline. If his daughter truly needed a kidney with minimal risk of rejection, Robert could easily have arranged for a suitable donor. His v
Following closely behind Sean, Asher stepped forward and announced, "Mr. Lawson Senior, the plane is ready to take off."Robert gave Sean a deep look. "There's also the matter of you marrying her in Ravoria for the sake of the twins she's carrying. Wrap that up cleanly and quickly. "From the public's perception, she is a relative with blood ties to you. What was the meaning behind your marriage? I don't want this to become a scandal for the Lawson family. Both of you... Don't disappoint me."After watching Robert enter the airport, Asher spoke softly, "Mr. Lawson Senior hasn't been completely indifferent to Ms. Angeline over the years. After all, she's part of the family. "In his heart, Ms. Angeline and Benjamin are different. Since Mr. Lawson Senior intends for Ms. Angeline to return to the Lawson family, he will surely look after her well. You needn't worry too much.""Where is Angeline now? Can't you tell me?" Sean asked."That's right. Mr. Lawson Senior knows you've alway
At this moment, Sean struggled with intense emotions surging within him. He felt like his strong desire and longing for Angeline, which he had always suppressed out of fear of frightening her, should have been confessed to her long ago."I admit, when I decided to give up on Ned, I thought of just wrecking everything. So I drank that spiked drink, intending to sleep with someone else as he wished. But... I couldn't go through with it in the end," Angeline chuckled softly. She added, "Because I still had Anne and Henrietta. Anne might not be my biological mother, but she did her best. "She simply didn't know how to get close to me. So, she could only wait cautiously with Henrietta in the distance for me to approach them. That's why Ned was so important to me!"Finally, Sean could hear the emotional turmoil in Angeline's voice."I was wrong! It was my obsession with Ned that led to Anne's death, to Henrietta's death, to... my children's deaths! But... I'm not the only one to blame
