Monica smiled as she lifted her cup. "Even if we haven't reached a consensus on collaboration, I really like you and approve of your abilities. I'd be honored to be your friend."Angeline also lifted her cup. "It's my pleasure to be friends with you, Ms. Monica."The two exchanged a smile and drank their coffee. Monica then stood up with a smile. "I should go back to the party now, lest my sisters catch me here. Oh, and… I'm sure that after you join Lawson Global, my sisters will come to talk to you about collaboration."Angeline naturally understood. In the eyes of outsiders, Monica and Sean were on the same side, and Angeline seemed like Sean's competitor. Naturally, Sean's and Monica's enemies would want to work with Angeline."Since we're already friends, if you plan to work with my two sisters, remember to let me know." Monica smiled. "Let's have coffee another day.""Sure." Angeline nodded.When Monica came out of the lounge, she was startled to see Sean standing at the doo
Sean ran his fingers through Angeline's long hair. He pressed his palm against the back of her head, deepening their kiss. It became increasingly intense and dangerous, as if he wanted to devour her completely. He gradually lost control, and his actions became rough.Angeline pressed against Sean's chest and turned her head aside. Her chest heaved as she gasped. "It's Granddad's birthday party today. Don't let anyone see us together."If anyone found out that they were together at Robert's birthday party, it would shock Robert and undoubtedly bring criticism to him.The guilty pleasure made Angeline's heart beat anxiously.Panting, Sean used his fingers to wipe away Angeline's lipstick which was smudged by their kisses. He whispered, "Mr. Millstone said that Dad has prepared a gift for you. He asked me to take you to see it.""Okay," Angeline responded. Almost instinctively, she reached out to help Sean straighten his wrinkled suit. "You go back to the hall first. I'll be there so
Daniel hadn't told Winston that Angeline was the founder of Vitality Biotech Group. Seeing Winston's current state, Daniel sighed and said, "Winston, I don't have much expectations for you. Just live well."As long as you can hold on to our share of Lawson Global, you won't have to worry about anything in this life—no, in the next life, and the life after that too. Don't stir up trouble. Listen to me, okay? You're my only child. Could I harm you?"Daniel had a very clear understanding of himself and his son. He knew he wasn't capable, so he had always listened to Robert all these years.Now, he was old and weak. He suffered from necrospermia, but he finally had Winston in his old age. Though he showered Winston with affection, he knew Winston's capabilities well.He didn't have high hopes for Winston to achieve greatness, feeling that a simple and ordinary life was also a blessing.Winston raised the glass in front of him and took a sip, not saying anything. In his mind, he couldn
"Let's go." Zachary patted Ned's arm and turned away first.…Sean brought Angeline to the top floor of Grand Court Residences, which was very close to Lawson Global.The top floor was over 4300 square feet, not including the outdoor swimming pool.All the furniture had been re-purchased according to Angeline's original home style, showing that Asher had put in a lot of effort."Dad thought your previous place was too small after visiting it, so he said this one is barely spacious enough. Originally, it was under your mother's name, but now it's transferred to your name. It's closer to Lawson Global, so it's convenient for you to commute."Sean led Angeline to the floor-to-ceiling windows and pointed at the towering Lawson Global building across the street.Angeline's eyes welled up with tears, not because she liked this place so much but because she was deeply moved by Robert's efforts for her."Mr. Millstone has already arranged for a housekeeper. Every morning at 6:00 am, th
Sandy also said to Sean, "Rowan brought his daughter back. I'm afraid Mr. Lawson Senior will get agitated. Would you come back and take a look?""I got it. I'm with Angie. I'll head back now." Sean hung up the phone and turned to meet Angeline's gaze.He picked up his suit jacket from the couch and put it on, saying, "Go change your clothes. We'll go back to the old Lawson residence together. It's a good opportunity to clear away this obstacle named Rowan for you."Now that Robert had already announced Angeline's identity as his granddaughter to the public, Sean would soon be leaving. Before he did, he would definitely clear all obstacles for Angeline.On the way, Angeline heard from Sean that Rowan had brought his daughter, Helen, back once before, shortly after Sean was adopted by Robert.However, Robert had threatened to cut off their living expenses as a means to send them away.This time, it seemed they got wind of Robert adopting a daughter for Jessica. That was why Rowan c
Helen quickly took out her phone and found the photos Winston had sent her today. She handed the phone to Robert."Uncle Robert, look at these three photos." She flipped through the three photos for Robert."These were taken at your birthday party. Sean, his fiancée, and Angeline were meeting here, surely plotting something. Uncle Robert, these two have no blood relation to you. You have to be cautious of them.""That's quite an interesting story," Sean said teasingly as he and Angeline walked in from outside.When Robert saw Sean and Angeline, his furrowed brows relaxed. He turned to look at Asher.Asher smiled warmly as he handed Robert a cup of coffee and lowered his voice. "It's time to let the younger generation take care of you."Robert smiled and didn't say anything, as if he agreed with Asher's words.Rowan froze the moment he saw Angeline come in.Although he had seen her through the screen during the investigation, he never expected her to look so much like Jessica.
Rowan took a few more steps away from Sean and complained, "Look at you, bringing your so-called relative into our family and making her Jessica's daughter. What are you trying to achieve? What is it?"You've set your sights on the Lawson family's fortune, haven't you? Aren't you satisfied that you've already gotten half of it despite being an adopted son? Are you trying to take it all for yourself?""You should stop calling this 'your' family, Mr. Rowan. You and Granddad went your separate ways 20 years ago. The Lawson family you're referring to now has nothing to do with you," Angeline said as she put down her cup."You have no right to speak here, brat!" Rowan raised his walking cane, wanting to hit her with it. Asher stopped him."Even you're on the outsider's side, Mr. Millstone! My brother may have been tricked in his old age, but don't tell me you have, too!" Rowan roared.Just then, Robert flung a stack of documents at him, his hands trembling."Robert?" Rowan was dumbstr
At worst, Rowan could keep Jessica around in her crazed state and have her adopt one of his own children. That way, he'd still be able to get half of the Lawson family fortune.This was also one of the reasons Robert had been in such a hurry to have Sean marry Monica—it was a way to prevent Rowan from pulling any funny tricks. Robert figured that as long as Sean had a wife from a powerful family, he'd be able to help Jessica protect Lawson Global after Robert's death.And so, a few days ago, when Rowan had heard about Robert's plan to have Jessica adopt a daughter who was also related to Sean, he'd lost his cool."What nonsense! You must've forged all of this!" Helen waved the documents around and looked at Robert. "Uncle Robert, would you rather trust an outsider than your blood relatives?"Rowan returned to his senses at her words. "Yes, exactly. Robert, you can't trust Sean! He's out to get our family's money!""Still being stubborn, are we? That's fine." Sean glanced at his wa
