Angeline sensed that Robert had already allowed Sean to leave Lawson Global and the Lawson family when he visited her that day.She figured it probably wasn't what led to their argument, as Robert hadn't called her to ask anything else.Moreover, Sean promised to give Angeline time to consider their relationship. So he would have waited to tell Robert about them before the agreed deadline. Angeline pondered about other reasons Robert would've been angry at Sean.She lay on the bed and read through the documents about the executive's family on her tablet before bed. However, her mind was a mess, so she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.Sean was someone who kept his promise. He hadn't contacted Angeline since he instructed Sebastian to send her home that day. Apart from Lenny and the other bodyguards there to change shifts, Angeline didn't even catch a single glimpse of Sean. It was as though he had disappeared from her life. Angeline had been busy recently. Not only di
Once Sean left the company, Robert would announce to the public that he would be taking over the company for a while. He would only let her step into Sean's position when she'd shown some results.Then, Robert could finally retire and spend more time with Jessica, Yasmine, and Xavier. But Angeline wondered. Sean said he would give her an answer before the birthday banquet. She wanted to know if it would be the next day or the day of the birthday banquet.As Angeline contemplated, she received a call again from Danny. She picked up the phone. "What's up?" "Boss, this time, Ingrid's manager, Linda, is screwed!" Danny gloated. "Do you remember Scarface? The one we stopped that day? He and his five henchmen injured their genitals during the fight and have become impotent. They've lost their primary function as a man!"Scarface got so mad that he revealed all the dirty things Linda hired them to do all these years. Several artists started to hold her accountable!" Angeline wa
Kim felt confused. He then heard the basement door open. Out the door, a man in shiny boots came down the metal staircase. Kim slowly looked from the boots and up the trousers, then finally at his face. Kim's eyes widened as he said in disbelief, "S-Sean?" Everyone knew who Sean Lawson, the head of Lawson Global, was. Sean was the man who led a company against Marvonia and united enterprises of all sizes for a joint venture in the lithography machines and microchips industry. His fame and achievement weren't solely from his business but also from other aspects. Brayden smiled at Sean, "As you've ordered, I didn't touch him. He's all yours." Kim's eyes were suddenly clouded with fear as he cowered uncontrollably. He stared at Sean's chiseled face. Even after 20 years, Kim still remembered the intimidating pressure from Sean's unconcerned stares. It reminded Kim of someone familiar. "Wh-who are you?" Kim asked with a shaky voice. "You could call me Sean." Sean remov
Kim gasped. "I didn't kill Mr. Kingston. What else do you want me to say? Please, Shane! Let go of my family! I'm begging you!" Sean wore a stoic expression and pushed Kim's head back into the pool. Water splashed onto Sean's arm as Kim struggled. Brayden watched and walked toward Sean, then passed him a cigarette. "Compared to this, I prefer using a golf club. Each blow is guaranteed to be bloody." "I don't like blood," Sean said while still holding Kim's head underwater. He took the cigarette from Brayden and held it between his fingers without lighting it. He lifted Kim and threw him on the floor when he stopped struggling again. Kim gasped for air after coughing out a mouthful of water while curled up. He tried to kneel but fell back onto the slippery floor due to exhaustion. "I-I know I'm not coming out of this alive, Shane." Kim slowly crawled toward Sean once he caught his breath. He grabbed Sean's leg with shaking hands and looked up at him. "Please believe
Sean looked down at Kim with cold eyes. "Do you know the biggest difference between me, Wayne, and Dexter, Uncle Kim?" Kim quickly nodded and looked at Sean with eyes full of expectation. "I know, I know! You're kinder than them! Shane, I always believed you to be a kind, gentle person." Sean had a cold expression as he stared at Kim. "No, Uncle Kim. Our biggest difference is that I don't leave any evidence behind." Brayden smiled as he watched by the side. He signaled to his underling and instructed, "Execute them." "No blood," Sean added coldly. The henchman dragged Kim toward the pool as though he were dragging a dead body. "No, no, Shane! Please let go of Marina! Let her go, please!" Kim kicked his feet. "My family is innocent! Even the gangsters know not to harm the families. You're utterly heartless, Shane!" Sean put on his vest and suit jacket with his back toward Kim. "Shut up!" Brayden stood on the pool steps and kicked Kim in his face. "Have yo
Brayden saw Sean walk out of the bungalow after throwing the paper towel he wiped his hands with into the trash can. He followed behind and stopped Sean from entering the driver's seat of his car. "Wait, Shane!" With one hand on the car roof, Sean looked at Brayden. Brayden approached and said, "I don't know who the woman you told Lenny to protect is, but I hope you understand, Shane. You shouldn't have a soft spot for anyone! "If you have a soft spot, you'll be easy to manipulate like Kim." Sean stared at Brayden before entering the car and leaving.With his hands in his pockets, Brayden's forehead creased as he watched Sean leave.Lenny was tight-lipped. He wouldn't disclose the identity of the person Sean had asked him to protect. Otherwise, Brayden could've gotten rid of this weakness of Sean for him. Sean parked outside Angeline's apartment but remained in the car.He leaned against the dashboard and looked up to see the living room of Angeline's apartment was lit.
"I guess we're set then!" Angeline felt satisfied with her outfit for Robert's banquet. The stylist removed Angeline's jewelry and stored them in a briefcase. With one hand lifting the end of her gown, Angeline entered the fitting room to change her clothes. After removing the straps of her stilettos, Angeline arranged her hair to the front and reached behind her back to unzip her gown. But before she could, a big, slender hand grabbed hers. Angeline turned around in surprise. She was shocked but relieved to see it was Sean. "W-why are you here, Mr. Lawson?" Angeline was a little worried as Asher was waiting outside. "Mr. Lawson Senior asked me to help you choose your gown, but I was late because of a meeting," Sean said. He put his hands on Angeline's shoulder and turned her around before unzipping her gown. "Thanks for helping me, but can you wait for me outside?" Angeline asked nervously while holding the gown and pressing it onto her breast, afraid they might fall
But before Angeline could continue her confession, Sean pulled Angeline toward him by her wrist, causing her to stagger forward. He lifted her face and pressed his warm, soft lips to hers. Angeline's mind went blank. She heard people pushing the rolling garment rack outside the fitting room. She opened her eyes and pushed Sean away. Her steps were wobbly from the kiss. She stumbled backward, knocking onto a table with several alternative gowns behind her. Sean slid his slender fingers into Angeline's hair to hold her head. With one hand on her waist, he kissed her deeply. His palm met her skin, which was exposed through the opened zipper at the back of the gown. The warmth from his palm caused her to get goosebumps. Angeline held herself by pushing against the table behind her with one hand as she accepted Sean's increasingly passionate kiss. The sound of their sensual, hot kiss filled the spacious, well-lit fitting room, causing Angeline to blush while feeling pins and nee
