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
She walked over to the door of the guest room and knocked on it. She wanted to ask Sean if he wanted to eat breakfast. There was no answer, so she pushed the door open.The room was so tidy that no one seemed to have slept there. There was no one in the bathroom either.It was very early in the morning. Angeline wondered if Sean had gone to work yet.Angeline pulled her dressing gown tighter around her. She pulled out her phone and hesitated. As she wondered if she should call Sean to ask, she received a message from him. "I won't be coming over for the next few days. I'll pick you up on the day of Mr. Lawson Senior's birthday party."Angeline returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa. She stared into the distance as she clutched her phone tightly.The truth was that she had sensed something strange about Sean since the previous night. She was sure Sean had wavered at the restaurant yesterday, but he had stopped at the last moment. There was no forceful invasion of
