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

    Robert removed his reading glasses and casually threw the unfinished documents aside.He picked up his teacup and said, "I think Angeline should stay away from people related to Ned. Nothing good ever comes from encountering him.""There's no need to rush this matter. As you said, Ms. Angeline didn't admit to having a boyfriend today, which probably means they're still getting to know each other. Perhaps Ms. Angeline will find Mr. Hooper interesting at your birthday banquet!"Robert nodded in agreement."Then should we continue investigating Ms. Angeline?" Asher asked.Thinking back to how upset Sean was when he had someone follow her before, Robert knew too well not to repeat the same mistake."No, stop the investigation. We don't want Angeline to be upset if she finds out.""Alright."…After finishing their meal, Angeline, Danny, and Simon left the restaurant. The weather had turned cooler all of a sudden. Simon gallantly removed his suit jacket and draped it over Angelin

    "Boss, what should we do?" Danny asked.Angeline walked into the encirclement and looked at the five tensed people.She smiled and said, "Why did you guys bring me here?"Danny's eyes turned cold as he warned, "You still have a chance to speak now, so don't waste it!"Clubs in their hands, the five men huddled back to back and remained silent.Angeline sighed, and Danny gestured with a stern face. Soon, they were beaten to a pulp. They yelled in agony. Their bodies were covered in blood.About 20 minutes later, Angeline approached the men who lay on the ground, barely breathing.She retrieved her photo from the scar-faced man's shirt pocket, looked down at him, and asked, "I'll give you another chance to speak. Who sent you?"Before the scar-faced man could respond, a phone that dropped from his pocket rang. He reached for the phone, but Angeline stepped on his hand with her heels. He howled in pain.She bent down to pick up the device, watched as Danny's men gagged the mouth

    The scar-faced man nodded repeatedly and said, "Understood. I've been fucking played by Linda. I promise she won't get away with this!"If Linda had told him how capable Angeline was and how many men she had, he would have asked for an extra 500 thousand dollars to be fully prepared.Fortunately, he hadn't done anything to harm Angeline. Judging by her appearance, she had great influence and was not someone to mess with.Angeline got into Danny's car and headed back.Danny reprimanded, "How could Simon's savior be such a despicable person? How could she let her manager do such a thing? I won't let her off so easily!""If I'm right, Ingrid probably doesn't know about this," said Angeline as she looked out of the window into the night indifferently. "Ingrid has always been innocent like a pure white lily."Even if it was all an act."You're Ned's ex-wife, and he is now Ingrid's fiancé! Who else could it be if not Ingrid? You always assume others are kind like you," Danny said, f

    "Do you know that photos of you and Simon went viral tonight?" Sean asked.Puzzled, Angeline was about to check her phone when he stopped her and said, "I've already had them take all the photos down."Sean was irritated at the photos of Simon cutting steak for her, putting a coat on her after exiting a Michelin restaurant, and escorting her to her car."Cutting steak for you, giving you his coat…" Sean said, his tone softened. "Even as friends, isn't this crossing the line?""Simon has been researching brain-computer interfaces for the past few years. He asked me questions about it at a conference in Dmont a few years back. This time, he invited me to dinner to persuade me to join his team."Angeline looked at Sean and realized he was jealous. She suppressed her smile and decided not to call him out on it."So, you're okay with him crossing boundaries? Or do you want to pursue something with him?" he questioned, his dark eyes behind his glasses unreadable. "If you're conside

    Sean had easily evoked her sexual desire. Now, she was even anticipating it.She wasn't sure if it was because her psychological trauma had unknowingly healed over time or if Sean's dominant presence healed her in some way, rendering her unable to resist.Blushing, Angeline tucked her hair behind her ear and picked up her handbag and Simon's suit from the floor. She recalled Sean's gloomy expression when he was on the phone when she entered the house. She wasn't entirely sure if he was jealous.Undoubtedly, they would have to face immense pressure and trouble in the future if she chose to be with him. After all, Sean was an adopted son of the Lawson family. Even if he were to leave the Lawson family, there's no denying he had been a part of them.She had feelings for him but wasn't confident that she could face future challenges and pressures, nor did she know if she dared to go against Robert.After taking a shower, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She wondered

    The news reported that Linda, who was detained for attempted murder, was knocked unconscious in the detention center and urgently sent to the hospital.After rinsing her mouth, Angeline leaned against the washstand and scrolled through the photos."What's going on? Medical parole?" she mumbled to herself, raising an eyebrow.She called Danny and asked, "Was Linda released for medical treatment?""No. I just got off the phone with the lawyer. She was genuinely beaten up inside! I heard it was someone who was locked up with her. That person found out she had instructed someone to film another woman being raped, so they beat her half to death!"Danny couldn't hide his satisfaction as he continued, "I guess what goes around comes around for the wicked.""Oh…" she responded.When Angeline heard a call waiting tone, she glanced at her phone to find herself looking at an unfamiliar number.Ignoring it, she continued, "I forgot to ask you yesterday. How much time did you give Ned?""I

    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
