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
"I think Ingrid might be trying to get Simon to help Fletcher Corporation through its troubles!" Danny said. "I plan to stir things up tonight. Do you want to come and add to the fun? Simon admires you even without knowing you're the founder of Vitality Biotech. If he finds out, who knows, he might pursue you. It could be a chance for Xavier and Yasmine to obtain a stepdad!""Do you want me to file a complaint to Heather?" Angeline asked."My bad, my bad! I was wrong!" Danny quickly backed down. "So, are you coming tonight?""I might," Angeline said. "But let's not mention the founder thing to anyone.""Got it! Simon will be thrilled to know you're joining us tonight."After hanging up, Angeline checked her watch. She needed to hurry to Eddie's studio.She changed her clothes and drove to the suburban location of Eddie's studio. As she parked, she unexpectedly encountered Ingrid and her agent, Linda."Angeline!" Ingrid was surprised to see Angeline here. She found her
"Ms. Davis, how could you say things like that? You don't know how amazing Angeline is," Ingrid said earnestly. Ingrid, who once emulated and followed Angeline's footsteps, knew all too well just how formidable Angeline was."You're always so naive. You boost others' morale at your own expense! Aren't you impressive too? You're now an international superstar!" Linda chided while tapping Ingrid's forehead lightly. "Let's go."Eddie noticed Angeline immediately upon her entering the studio. He was sitting in a rocking chair, sipping his tea. "Ah, Angeline!" he exclaimed. Eddie stood up and greeted Angeline with a smile while still wearing his work apron."Mr. Reynolds, how are you?" Angeline asked smilingly. She walked over and supported Eddie by the arm."I'm very well, thanks to you," Eddie replied cheerfully. "You convinced me to participate in that medical trial. My old body wouldn't have lasted this long if you hadn't." He chuckled and pulled Angeline to take a sea
Ingrid pulled Linda's arm and apologized to Mark. "I'm sorry, my friend is a bit anxious. This porcelain is a gift for the second son of the Norwalk family. It's also a way to promote our national culture. So, we really hope to obtain a piece by Mr. Reynolds. Could you please speak to Mr. Reynolds and check if we could present an available piece? We'd be very grateful!"Linda's attitude starkly contrasted with Ingrid's plea. Ingrid was the spokesperson for the Norwalk family, and intending the gift for Simon somewhat swayed Mark.He nodded. "Please wait here. I'll go ask him."When Mark left, Linda turned to the young man who initially greeted them. "Wasn't there a lady who came in before us? Why isn't she here?""Oh, that lady," the young man replied with a smile. "She's a close friend of Mr. Reynolds and has gone to have tea with him."Linda was taken aback and then looked at Ingrid, her brows furrowing slightly. "What's the deal with Angeline? How is she connected to
"Good!" said Mark, nodding with a smile.He then put on his gloves and carefully placed the item into the brocade box."I'll see you out," Eddie said to Angeline, who replied, "Alright!" She took the brocade box from Mark and thanked him before walking out with Eddie.Eddie added, "Now that you're back in Krontos, you must visit and play a game of chess with me when you have the time! I can't forget how you tricked me into the hospital with chess. It's the reason I'm still alive today.""Well, it's because you were willing to trust me."Eddie left only when he had escorted Angeline to the parking lot.Angeline noticed Linda storm toward her after carefully placing the porcelain in the trunk and closing the door.Ingrid chased behind her, shouting, "Linda, stop it!"When Linda saw Angeline, she raised her hand, about to deliver a slap.With an eyebrow raised, Angeline swiftly grabbed Linda's wrist and slapped her across the face instead. She then kicked Linda in the torso, ca
As the full-time manager of international superstar Ingrid Dalton, Linda had full control over her. In the entertainment industry, she was a respectful figure. Yet, she was just slapped by Angeline. She could never endure this kind of shame.On her way back from Eddie's place, Angeline received a message from Danny about the location of the restaurant where they were going to have dinner with Simon tonight.A voice message followed, "You better not stand us up."After taking the porcelain back home, Angeline sent a message to Sean because she didn't want to disturb him at work. She told him she was going out for dinner with friends that night.Even though Sean said he would be home late tonight, she worried that she might return later than him.As the night fell, she put on light makeup and changed into a champagne-colored custom-made dress with excellent tailoring. Her slightly curled hair cascaded down over her shoulders, giving her a hint of femininity not seen on regular days.
"Don't hang up. Talk to me about anything."Angeline said, "Well, since you care about me so much, I'll tell you something you don't know. Heather does have feelings for you. It's just that there's a six-year age gap between you two, and she can't accept it."So, she chooses to avoid her feelings. If you try a bit harder and be more brazen, you'll soon be able to win her over—as long as you don't disturb her while she's working."Seeing how Danny genuinely cared for her well-being, she dropped him a hint."I appreciate it. You're even worried about my lifelong happiness at a time like this!" said Danny."Heather has a bit of a complicated personality. She's always saying one thing but meaning another. You have to figure out when she's telling the truth and when she's being sarcastic.""Boss… you're in danger, and here you are teaching me how to pursue Heather? I'm at the intersection of Walmesley Drive and Clover Street.""I simply don't want you to end up an old bachelor and di
Danny nodded with a smile, thinking that Simon would probably be astonished if he knew that Angeline was the founder of Vitality Biotech Group."Yeah!" Angeline said, looking at Danny. "Mr. Reilly's offer was irresistible."Simon smiled and said, "So, what about now? I'm still very eager to get you to join my team. Professor Sharpe said we'll need professionals in both biological genetics and brain neurology, and it's our honor to have you join us. I'll give you my best offer!"Simon had never given up on brain-computer interfaces over the last few years. The deeper he delved into this field, the greater the obstacles he faced.That was why he desperately wanted to meet Angeline today because he needed Angeline's help.Noticing Simon's eagerness, Danny interrupted, "You won't be able to steal Angeline away from me!"He thought Simon was anxious to meet Angeline because he fancied her. He didn't expect him to attempt to poach her instead."If you're interested, take a look at t
