After the door slammed loudly, the living room stayed lit. Only the faucet that was not fully turned off was left. It was dripping and echoing throughout the night.Angeline woke up the next day in her darkened bedroom. Her body felt so sore that she could barely lift her arms. It was nearly 11:00 am when she checked her phone. She had dozens of missed calls.A note from Sean was on the bedside table: "Your phone was on silent to ensure you slept well. Breakfast is warm in the pot. I've gone to the office. I'll be back this afternoon to have lunch with you."Angeline put on her robe and slippers. Her legs gave out as soon as she stood up, and she fell back onto the bed. Memories of the night with Sean flashed through her mind. They had gone to the bathroom for a shower, but things escalated.Angeline covered her face with her hands. She had never thought of herself in such a light. Her phone vibrated again. It was Sean calling. Biting her swollen lip, she answered, "Hello..."Imme
The day for delivery arrived. Ned must have been anxious. "No worries. Go meet with them. Set a high price. If they ask who else you've sold the formula to, tell them you've given it to your boss and will ask for them. They're in a hurry, so you can ask for some fees. That money is all yours. That depends on how much you want!" Angeline spoke with a hint of laughter in her voice.Billy immediately brightened up at the mention of money. "Alright! I'll do as you say!"Giving enough incentive when asking for a favor was something Angeline understood well. "I'll send you a list later. After dragging them along for a while, give them the list. Tell them your boss sold the formula to the companies on the list," Angeline added."Sure, Ms. Emmerson. You can count on me."After the call, Angeline sent Billy a long list and took the emergency contraception. Her legs were still weak. Feeling she couldn't go out in her current state, she sat on the living room carpet to watch the lab videos.
"Exactly. Mr. Lawson Senior didn't even have his dinner today. It was only after Beautiful Ms. Lawson and I brought him some milk that he drank a little," Yasmine said with her mouth close to the microphone.Angeline's grip on her phone tightened as she felt uneasy. She said to Yasmine and Xavier, "You two must be especially good in the next few days. Please don't upset Mr. Lawson Senior, okay?""Don't worry, Mommy. I'm always good!" Yasmine assured her."Alright, you two should get some rest early. Be good!"After ending the video call with Yasmine and Xavier, Angeline looked at Sean, who was still on the phone, and bit her lip.After a while, Sean looked at Angeline after feeling her gaze. He said a few words to the person on the other end of the line and then hung up."What's the matter?" Sean closed the sliding door behind him."Did you talk to Mr. Lawson Senior today about leaving the Lawson family?" Angeline asked.Sean sat down behind Angeline with his elbows on his kne
Sean's obsessive desire peaked after he had spent that night with Angeline four years ago. He felt the urge to keep Angeline by his side all the time, spending every moment with her. However, Sean knew that Angeline's feelings for him were far from affectionate at the time.His concern grew because, before getting involved with Angeline four years earlier, he had encountered a former subordinate of his biological father, and he was worried that he would put Angeline at risk. After Robert had taken Angeline away four years ago, Sean held back his emotions with his calmness and sanity and kept all his feelings to himself. He vowed not to inquire about Angeline in the slightest.Everything seemed to have changed since the previous night when Angeline had wrapped her arms around his neck. Her simple plea had nearly made Sean lose his sanity. He had become relentless. Sean refused to let go of her, no matter how she cried or pleaded. He was like a fierce python, consuming her comple
Sean's gaze was intense. It felt as if he wanted to devour Angeline. With each passing moment, his desire grew more robust, filled with a predatory hunger. Angeline had no doubts that she might not survive the night if she admitted her feelings for Sean.Her breathing steadied slightly. Then, Angeline said, "I'll consider it carefully and give you an answer at Mr. Lawson Senior's birthday banquet."Sean's gaze was predatory as he looked at Angeline. He cradled the back of her head and initiated another kiss. Her head tilted back, causing her scalp to tingle. Yet, uncontrollably, her hands wrapped around his neck. She reciprocated his advances.Suddenly, she found herself lifted off the ground. They didn't stop kissing. Sean held Angeline in his arms and allowed her to straddle him. He pressed her waist firmly against himself.As Angeline noticed a subtle change in Sean, she clung to his shoulders. Her legs felt too weak to sit properly on his. She dodged his passionate kisses.Her
Angeline had watched the laboratory videos countless times. Heather's hands were steady. Each experiment nearly perfectly replicated the previous one. Yet, the experimental data still showed issues.Angeline suspected the experimental equipment might be the cause.Today, Angeline had to go out no matter what. There was only a week left until Robert's birthday banquet. She needed to prepare a birthday gift for Robert.Robert lacked nothing in terms of rare treasures, but it was the thought that mattered. She knew Robert liked porcelain. A few days ago, she had spoken on the phone with Eddie. During the call, Eddie mentioned releasing some new products soon.Therefore, she planned to visit Eddie's porcelain studio today. She hoped to see if his new works were available.She had just changed her clothes when the doorbell rang. Angeline walked over to the monitor. To her surprise, it was Robert and Asher. Instinctively, she turned to check the living room. She worried about leaving
Although Angeline might not have made her mark at Lawson Global yet, Vitality Biotech alone was proof enough of her capabilities. This was why Robert felt confident in positioning Angeline at Lawson Global.Heather, the head of Vitality's Yuropean division, often mentioned the founder in her speeches after Vitality Biotech's Marvonia hearing. This sparked intense curiosity about Vitality Biotech's founder.People are drawn to strength. As long as Angeline was exceptional, she could command anywhere. It was the reason for Robert's insistence on providing Angeline resources to start her own venture for revenge.Fortunately, Angeline exceeded his expectations. She performed even better than he had imagined. As a result, Robert wasn't caught off guard when he learned Sean planned to leave the family and Lawson Global.Angeline remained silent with her eyes downcast."My original goal of showing up today was to discuss the Hooper family's eldest son with you. I wanted you to meet him a
In any case, domestic records wouldn't reveal anything about her marriage to Sean. "I came today specifically to discuss this matter with you. I didn't want you to be caught off guard. It's good for you to be prepared," Robert said as he stood up and leaned on his cane. Angeline quickly reached out to assist him.Even though Robert appeared spry for his age, signs of weariness were evident. "I'm fine!" Robert insisted while patting Angeline's hand. He walked towards the door while supporting himself with his cane.As Angeline escorted Robert to the door, Asher immediately pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Angeline. "These include information about the eldest Hooper son and the company's current board of directors and executives. Ms. Emmerson, you must familiarize yourself with these board members and executives during this time.""Understood." Angeline took the documents."I'll be leaving then. Jessica has been in good spirits lately
