Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 188
"Ms. Emmerson, Tommy has paid back the money he owed this time. I don't know where he got so much money, but he borrowed again…" Billy's voice traveled over the phone. Angeline wasn't surprised. Tommy must have used the funds that were meant for the production of that batch of drugs. After all, she had specially instructed Billy to remind Tommy to use those funds first and return the money when he won it back from gambling. No one would know. Tommy hadn't had the guts to do so the last time, so he had chosen to steal the prescription. Angeline hadn't made a fuss out of that because she wanted Tommy to feel that he was safe whilst in the grip of his gambling addiction. That way, he could be forced into a corner again. As long as Tommy was in a desperate situation, he would think about using that money even without Billy mentioning it. He would think that he would be able to win it back at gambling and just return the money quietly. That was the typical gambler's mindset. A

"Please, Ingrid!" Carmen said while tugging Ingrid's hand. "Your uncle is still in the hospital undergoing surgery. I know Tommy had botched things up this time, but… the money is gone now, thanks to this idiot. "Could you call Mr. Fletcher and see if he has any idea how to escape this sticky situation?" Ingrid bit her lips. She thought she could use this opportunity to contribute to Fletcher Corporation so the Fletchers would view the Yates in a new light. After all, Sherryn had always looked down on Ingrid and the Yates family, believing they only brought trouble to Ned. However, Ingrid never expected that they somehow managed to cause trouble to Ned. If Sherryn found out about this, she would be more disappointed in her. "Please, Ingrid. Just call Ned. It's the only way we can get out of this! I'm begging you," Tommy pleaded and raised his right hand. "I swear that I'm never going to gamble again! I promise! So please, Ingrid, save our family!" Seeing Tommy beg this persis

The fuming Ned hung up and quickly called the company executives for an emergency meeting.Ned sat at the center of the meeting table with a stoic face, not saying a word.The executives, on the other hand, were debating non-stop on this sudden occurrence."Great, what did I say? We shouldn't have eyed Vitality Biotech Group's cure for cancer or whatever medicines they're trying to make. We shouldn't have signed the contract with them.""The ship had already sailed. It's pointless for you to still talk about this right now. What we should do right now is to find someone to take over this order!" "It's no use regardless of who we find to take over the order. There's no time to buy new equipment." "We can just use the equipment from Yates Group. Since they're the ones who used up the fund and breached the contract! Can they even compensate the loss according to the contract?""According to the contract, we can't afford to compensate Vitality Biotech Group too! So, how about we d

As Vitality Biotech Group's laboratory and research data were not in Marvonia, Eric was fearless in confronting the Marvonian representative directly. Angeline had said that at worst, they could just withdraw themselves from the Marvonia market.Angeline switched off the television and looked at the photos Yasmine sent from a few days ago. Sean and Robert had been taking care of Yasmine these days. Because Yasmine loved the amusement park after they visited one, Robert decided to build one for her. Angeline rubbed her temples and was about to say something. But she stopped when Robert said, "But Sean loves it, too!" Perhaps Angeline wasn't old enough to understand why the elderlies always unconditionally pampered their grandchildren. Since she couldn't outargue Robert, she could only accept that Yasmine would be getting an amusement park from Robert. "Ding dong!"The doorbell rang. Angeline stood up to get to the door and saw Sherryn standing outside. Angeline was surpris

Sherryn didn't want to stay longer with Angeline. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you saying this because you're worried that we will fight you for custody of the kids?" "Please, Mrs. Fletcher. Like I said, if you want a paternity test, I'll gladly cooperate!" Angeline did a quick math before continuing, "Right now, Yasmine is with my husband. If you want to do a paternity test, we can do it in about… 20 days. You're free to call me after that." Angeline wondered if Sherryn would still be in the mood to talk about the paternity test after 20 days.Seeing how determined Angeline was, Sherryn couldn't decide what to do. She let out a sigh and said, "Angie, since you said the kids aren't Ned's, how about you leave Oceanford and never come back for all of our sake?" "I'm going to decline that request, Mrs. Fletcher. I have my life planning," Angeline replied. Sherryn couldn't hold her temper and shouted in an ordering voice, "Then change your stupid life plan!" Angeline ch

Sherryn saw Ingrid sitting in the living room as soon as she entered the Fletcher residence.Sherryn vented on Ingrid, "Why are you here?" Ingrid quickly put down her glass of water and stood up to greet, "Hello, Mrs. Fletcher." Ingrid thought Sherryn was mad at her because of the Yates family and explained, "I went to Fletcher Corporation, and Ned wasn't there. I thought he was back home, so I came to wait for him. "I wanted to know if there's anything Yates Group could help since it's Tommy who screwed up to begin with. I'm worried that something would go wrong with Ned's and Vitality Biotech Group's contract." Shocked, Sherryn shouted, "What did Tommy do again?" The confused Ingrid stared at Sherryn and stuttered, "I-It's about Yates Group's fund. Something went wrong with our working capital." Although Sherryn wasn't involved with the company's affair anymore, that didn't mean she hadn't caught up on its situation. When Fletcher Corporation signed the contract with V

"Ned, wait!" said Ingrid. Ned comforted Ingrid, "Don't get me wrong, Ingie. I'm just worried that Angie is addicted to gambling like Tommy." "No, Ned. Tommy frequents this casino," Ingrid explained. "Do you think… she wants to get revenge on me for taking you away, so she—" "No! She's not that kind of person!" Ned interrupted. Words got stuck in Ingrid's mouth as she snapped her mouth shut. She slowly let go of her hands from Ned and asked, "Ned, do you regret that you chose me instead of Angie?" "Baby, please. I don't mean that!" Ned couldn't put it into words for Ingrid. "Even as a friend, I don't want Angeline to get addicted to gambling just like Tommy did." "You can just get Zach to talk to Angie, can't you?" Ingrid asked. Seeing Ned remain silent, Ingrid gave in and said, "Alright. If you must go, then let me go with you." Ned opened the car door and said, "Hop in." Ingrid quickly opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. En route to Angeline's house,

"I didn't mean that, Ned," Ingrid explained in panic. "I-I didn't know it was this serious for you too!" "Just don't interfere and ask anything about this! If Fletcher Corporation can make it through safely, I won't pursue any further with Yates Group," Ned said. "But, if we can't make it through and fail to deliver our promise to VItality Biotech Group, I won't let any of the Yates go away with this." Ned was about to start the car when his phone rang suddenly. "Hello?" Ned picked up the phone. It was unclear what the other person said, but Ned's expression immediately turned scrunched up. "Don't worry. Let me tell them. I'll handle it." Ned hung up his phone, then quickly called his assistant, "Darren, contact the Yates family. Let them know they must let Eastern Pharmaceutical in by the afternoon. "Tell them it is my order. Otherwise, we will pursue them for breaching the contract." Ingrid was worried listening to the conversation. She saw Ned hang up the phone and ask

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
