Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 164
"This is Gregory you were asking about!" James introduced him to several leading figures in the scientific community. "Bringing back this genetics prodigy from abroad a few years ago was quite a feat. It really took a lot of effort!"Gregory greeted everyone with a smile and shook their hands."This is Angeline." James remembered that Angeline had asked not to reveal she was the founder of Vitality Biotech. He simply smiled and said, "She's currently with Vitality Biotech.""Angeline, I've heard so much about you! You were brilliant at the exchange meeting in Dmont four years ago."An older biologist shook hands with Angeline. "It's a pity I wasn't there. My colleague spoke so highly of you. We haven't heard from you since. Is it because of your work at Vitality Biotech?""Yes," Angeline nodded. "Many experiments are confidential, but I really enjoy diving into the work in the lab."Everyone had a great time talking. Angeline's sole focus on her experiments allowed he

Ned stormed out and slammed the door behind him.Sherryn furrowed her brows. She wrapped her cloak tighter around her in irritation before storming upstairs to her room.Ned's mind was haunted by Sherryn's words from their morning phone call with Gregory. He could hear Angeline's voice in the background. Specific images in his mind became vivid as he drove with one hand on the steering wheel.When they were just starting high school and went through military training with another school, a boy from the other school confessed his feelings to Angeline. Ned had hit the boy without a second thought. Angeline then took him to the infirmary to tend to the wound at the corner of his mouth.In his memory, Angeline had her hair in two braids, and the sunlight streamed through the window, highlighting her exceptionally fair and delicate features. She had gently dabbed at his wound with a cotton swab and blew on it lightly. The sight of Angeline's plump, rosy lips had impulsively driven Ned

Ned wanted to go to Cloudsville. He had never felt such a strong desire to see Angeline before.The next morning, Gregory, with his backpack slung over one shoulder and his hair a tousled mess, hurried towards the laboratory building with breakfast in hand. He was surprised to find Ned sitting on a bench outside the lab. Gregory's steps halted as he ascended the stairs. He stared at Ned. "Ned?" Gregory called out.Ned emanated a chill as though he had spent the night there. He stood up and looked at Gregory. "Where's Angeline?" he asked."She left last night," Gregory replied.Ned wanted to know more. "Left? Where to?" he pressed.Gregory hesitated, then spoke. "Ned, are you here because of the girl? I've asked, and the girl isn't yours. You're engaged to Ingrid now. Please, stop bothering Angeline."Ned didn't say anything. He simply started to walk away down the stairs.Gregory called out to him again, "Ned! I asked Angeline if she regrets being with you!"Ned heard

"Oh, right!" The private detective pulled a medical record from his bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward Angeline. "This is the medical record of Ned, the current CEO of Fletcher Corporation. You might find this interesting. I'll include this as a complimentary service at no charge, as a thank you for the years of support you've provided our detective agency."After reviewing the donation certificate from Yates Group, Angeline opened Ned's medical record. It clearly stated that Ned's memory was gradually recovering. The detective expected an emotional reaction from Angeline, but her expression remained undecipherable.He scratched his nose in confusion and remarked, "Ms. Emmerson, your reaction is not what I anticipated."Angeline closed the medical record and casually placed it on the coffee table. "In the future, don't overstep on matters I haven't asked you to investigate.""Right!" The detective made an 'okay' gesture and couldn't help but add, "I took the

Throughout the years Angeline and Ned grew up together, she never once heard of a Floyd family member in the Fletcher family. Angeline did not wish to pursue the reason Bradley impersonated Ned's cousin. However, Angeline was skeptical when she saw Bradley's designer attire and at his casual mention of spending two thousand on a meal. Bradley might leverage Ned's identity to pose as a wealthy second-generation student at school. Alternatively, there might be issues with managing the financial aid she provided to Oceanford College.Bradley felt guilty but tried to appear calm. He retorted, "Who are you to question me? Everyone knows my cousin adores Ingrid. You're just a nobody living off the Fletchers. What could you possibly know?""I know enough to understand that one should not be deceitful or forget their roots," Angeline responded.Enraged, Bradley raised his hand to hit Angeline. Before he could even touch her, someone firmly caught his hand. Bradley's friends immediatel

Since they knew about the incident where Angeline drugged Ned, they naturally also understood his obsession with her before he lost his memory. He had almost killed someone for her then.Rumour had it that he had grabbed a student from Oceanford High School by the collar and almost threw him off the rooftop. If she hadn't intervened, the student would have died long ago.Could it be that Ned had regained his memory?At Angeline's silence, Ned continued to exert force and shouted, "Not sincere enough!"Bradley pleaded, "Ms. Emmerson, I am a despicable scoundrel! I impersonated Mr. Fletcher's cousin, but I am nothing! Please ask Mr. Fletcher to spare me. "I won't dare do this again! If you're unsatisfied, you can kick me a few more times and treat me like dirt! I beg you!"From what Bradley heard, Ned used to fight to the death if necessary.He would not listen to anyone who advised him to stop, but as long as Angeline showed up and asked him to go home, he would drop the issue a

"Angie, let's not argue over that. I deeply regret letting my emotions get the best of me because of Ingrid, which nearly resulted in the child's death," coaxed Ned."But considering the kid's age, there was no one else except me during that time."Angeline was briefly stunned before she smiled and said, "Have you forgotten about the time you drugged me at Regalia Hotel? My child was from then. "You prepared the drink I had, so you should know better than me what consequences that drug would bring. You were hoping I'd sleep with someone else then, right?"Why? Did you think I'd remain a maiden for you even after you tormented me to death by drugs?"He suddenly remembered how he gave Angeline the supposed truth serum and forced her to admit that they didn't have sex that night before a crowd of people. He thought of how he had tried to choke her when she was pregnant and how he had wanted to kill her.He momentarily felt suffocated, as if a large hand was squeezing on his heart

"Why? Is your friend asking for it?" Tommy asked on the phone, seeming to have moved to a quieter place. He continued, "That drug is very powerful. It takes effect in as quick as ten minutes, and it can turn any virtuous woman into a slut. My friend used this drug to conquer the woman he had long admired finally. "Women would beg and cry for sex when they've taken it. There's no time at all to take them to the hospital before the side effects kick in. But this drug is hard to come by now since it's tightly regulated these days."Back when Angeline drank the drug, Ned had waited ten minutes for it to take effect before leaving. Then, Tommy was brought back by Sean's men.Ned wondered if Sean would have just stood by and watched Angeline sleep with someone else.He hung up the phone but continued to grip his device firmly. He breathed heavily, feeling like his heart was about to explode. He loosened his tie and swallowed.Holding onto the last bit of hope, he dialed Sean's number

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
