Angeline wore a faint smile, then looked at Danny, who was talking to the other guests. Danny saw her looking and smugly raised his eyebrows at her.Danny knew that Angeline was about to return to the Lawson family and that she would join Lawson Global. He knew that her identity as the founder of Vitality Biotech Group would add to her credibility. However, Danny knew his boundaries, and he wouldn't simply reveal Angeline's identity to anyone. He had only told Daniel because the latter was very close to Robert. Besides, he had even requested Daniel not to tell anyone else, as he was worried that it would cause Angeline trouble.Since Angeline had the approval of Danny, who was in charge of Vitality Biotech Group in the Lonla region, Daniel had no further reason to doubt Angeline."I heard from Mr. Reilly that Vitality Biotech Group is currently researching the most advanced technology of single-cell arrest. Is it for treating cancer?" Daniel was very interested in this project.W
Perhaps it was because Sean was next to Angeline, Nathaniel didn't speak to her much. Instead, he talked to Sean more. Zachary couldn't help wondering if the Lawsons were going to collaborate with the Hoopers and needed a marriage alliance. He wondered if that was the reason why Robert had told Sean to bring Angeline.Later, if Ned and Sherryn saw Angeline when they arrived, problems could arise. Zachary frowned, wondering if he should call Ned and tell them not to come.Soon, Angeline noticed Zachary, who kept looking at her.She smiled and said to Sean and Nathaniel, "I spotted a friend. I'll go and say hi, and I'll be back in a while."Sean had also seen Zachary, so he nodded. "Go ahead!"As soon as she left, Nathaniel smiled and approached Sean. "I heard that she's a relative of your biological family. My grandfather wasn't pleased about it at first, but since you're the successor of Lawson Global, and she's the founder of Vitality Biotech Group, he agreed.""Both of you ar
Angeline wasn't like Zachary. She wouldn't see Robert as someone who harbored ill intentions. Zachary panicked at once, his Adam's apple bobbed. "Angeline…""Don't worry. We were once friends, so I won't think of anything else beyond that. I just don't want Grandpa to worry about my future." Angeline gave a faint smile. "Besides, if I were to have anything to do with you, my children's dad is going to be unhappy about it."Sean was exceptionally possessive, and she had a deep realization of that whenever they were together."Your children's… dad?" Zachary realized something immediately. "Mrs. Fletcher said that she bumped into you and that you were with a little girl. I thought that the child's dad was…""Ned?" Angeline laughed, shaking her head. "It's not him.""Congratulations!" Zachary was relieved. "I almost wanted to ask you to consider me when you mentioned it just now. I want to give you my blessing if you're happy.""Thank you!" Angeline raised her glass.She was very
When Ned heard that Angeline was also present, he pulled his hands out of his pockets, and his eyes flickered. Sherryn's face fell. "Angeline is truly something. She made Sean take her to Mr. Lawson Senior's birthday banquet." "It seems that Mr. Lawson Senior was the one who asked her to come." Zachary frowned and rebutted her. "Besides, Mr. Lawson Senior seems to like Angeline very much." Sherryn was stunned. She gripped her purse tightly and gritted her teeth. "How did she manage to play up to him so fast? She is efficient!" "Mom!" Ned was angry. "Angeline isn't like that! I don't like it when you make such comments about her. If you say another word—" "Ned!" Zachary saw the security looking in their direction, so he hurriedly pulled Ned back. "Mrs. Fletcher, you should mind your words. This place is full of the Lawson family's people. If Mr. Lawson Senior finds out, he won't forgive Fletcher Corporation easily." Sherryn felt embarrassed, for her son had talked back to he
Ever since he had regained his memories, Ned would find himself sinking into them from time to time. He frowned and looked away quickly. Robert's voice was loud and clear. "The main purpose of the birthday banquet today isn't really to celebrate an old man's birthday, but to introduce my granddaughter, Angeline Lawson, to everyone. I won't bore you by speaking about how amazing she is. However, for the past few years, Angeline has been establishing her company abroad. Now, it's time for her to come back and take over the family business with Sean."Angeline Lawson. Robert had officially adopted her, and now her surname was Lawson, not Emmerson. The directors and other elders of the family, who were close to Robert, grinned as they clapped. It was obvious that Robert was delighted. "I'm very happy that Jessica has a kind and intelligent adopted daughter like Angeline. Even after I pass away, I don't have to worry that there'll be no one taking care of Jessica. Of course, my g
Ned's breathing was slightly erratic as he tightly gripped the wine glass. His nostrils flared slightly, and tears glistened in his eyes as if they would flow out at any moment.Robert stood proudly and joyfully beside Angeline. After finishing his speech, he descended from the stage with Angeline's support and took his seat at the main table.Sherryn's gaze followed Robert and Angeline intently. She was almost squeezing her own legs blue with anxiety.Turning around, she asked Ned, "Is Angeline's child really not yours? I thought you had regained your memory. Haven't you remembered anything?"Ned's heart ached when he heard her words. The thought that he had drugged Angeline and made her sleep with another man, resulting in pregnancy, filled him with a desire to die.He tugged at his tie. "Weren't you the one who looked down on Angie for being from Emmerson Village? What now? Are you regretting making me divorce her after seeing her become Robert's adopted granddaughter?"Robert
"But—"Before Sherryn could rebut, Sean interrupted, "After Ned and Angie got into an accident during their wedding day, the Fletchers paid for the surgery and then abandoned Angie when they found out she was likely to become a vegetable."Now that Angie is part of the Lawsons, how can you have the nerve to come and ask Lawson Global to help Fletcher Corporation?"Sherryn's face fell. Everything Sean said was right."If Angie weren't alive today, Fletcher Corporation would've been gone long ago." Sean's voice was deep. When he saw the security guards patrolling nearby, he waved them over.The head of the security team quickly came over. "Yes, Mr. Lawson?""This lady isn't a guest today. Please escort her out," Sean said indifferently."Sean! Aren't you afraid I'll expose your relationship with Angeline? Aren't you afraid people will say that you schemed to make Angeline a member of the Lawson family because you want to take over the Lawson family's fortune? What if Mr. Lawson Se
Monica and Angeline went to a lounge, where the Lawsons had prepared for guests who were tipsy from the alcohol. Angeline sat across from Monica, pouring coffee gracefully."Ms. Monica, are you here to talk to me as Sean's fiancée or as the daughter of the Scott family?"After Angeline poured the coffee, she presented a turquoise cup to Monica."I'm here to talk to you as Scott Incorporated's Vice President of Operations and as Monica." Monica smiled as she picked up the cup and took a sip. "I know that after Mr. Lawson Senior's birthday party, you'll be entering Lawson Global as the vice president."Actually, Monica had been watching Angeline closely in the hall. She had hurried to catch up with Angeline when she saw her leaving.For years, Monica had been competing with her sisters for inheritance rights.She didn't have support from her uncle's family or the board of directors, nor did she have her mother's favoritism. Over the years, she relied solely on herself to carve out
