Even if Sean was on the brink of losing control, he was still willing to do everything in his might to keep his emotions in check.

Earlier, however, during the meeting, he'd genuinely entertained the thought of doing away with the people who'd displayed interest in Angeline.

Their gazes met. They were so close to each other that their breaths mingled. Sean traced Angeline's lips with his thumb and slowly leaned down to kiss her.

When she realized what he was up to, her breathing sped up. As he got closer to her, her scalp tingled. When his nose touched hers, Angeline's breathing hitched. Her lashes fluttered uncontrollably; she felt like jolts of electricity were zapping through her.

Sean pressed his lips lightly to hers and took in the look on her face. Her sweet scent wafted into his nostrils; she reminded him of a ripe fruit ready for picking.

He parted her lips and deepened the kiss. Their breathing grew heavier. Angeline's head tipped back as she responded to his enthusiastic

    Angeline's current identity was Angeline Lawson, the granddaughter of Lawson Global's chairman, Robert Lawson. The employees would address Sean as Mr. Lawson and Angeline as Ms. Lawson."There's one more thing." Taylor opened the folder he held and placed it on the desk. "Mr. Rowan Lawson has already transferred all his shares to Helen; the latter bought more from the other board members and their children."She now holds 10% of the company's shares and has the right to attend today's mid-year review."Sean quickly flipped through the document before handing it to Angeline. After reading it, she asked, "Has Rowan already been arrested?""Yes, Ms. Lawson. The maid that he bought off to poison Mr. Lawson Senior in the past has already provided the police with the evidence of his crime. The legal department looked into it and concluded that the matter can still be pursued."Taylor added, "I already have people looking into which board members Helen has been in contact with, but it's

    Sean tapped a finger on the documents Taylor had compiled. The reason Daniel allowed Winston to get away with everything was because Winston was his only child. If he were to find out that Winston, whose personality and capabilities were nothing like his own, wasn't even his son… would Daniel still be so tolerant?…Helen was already inside the conference room. She used her identity as Robert's niece to make her way around the room, greeting the other members of the board.The board members had never taken Rowan, a bastard child, seriously. Why would they care about his daughter? Still, now that Helen held 10% of the company's shares, the situation was different.Daniel had dragged Winston over to a corner to give him a shelling. "Who gave you the nerve to sell 2% of your shares to Helen?""C'mon, Dad! Helen's an actual member of the Lawson family, unlike Sean and Angeline. What if she ends up becoming the Lawsons' heiress?" Winston tucked his hands into his pockets, looking lik

    Angeline looked at the board member who'd spoken. His name was Mason Denton. She'd seen his profile but hadn't seen him at Robert's birthday celebration."Looks like you already have something in mind, Mr. Denton." Someone gave Mason a chance to continue."Oh, yes. Now that the environment is getting worse, one's health will become something that people will be willing to spend more money on. In fact, it'll probably be the most important thing to most people!" Mason said.He glanced at Helen. "And so, I suggest we consolidate the management of the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Then, we have someone from Lawson Global oversee these industries.""I agree!""Me, too!"Some of the board members agreed with Mason after some consideration. Daniel didn't voice his opinion. Instead, he asked, "Does that mean you already have a candidate in mind, Mr. Denton?""Yes, I do." Mason nodded. "I propose Helen Lawson for the job. Setting aside the fact that she holds 10% of the company'

    After all, Vitality Biotech Group was the only other company aside from Lawson Global that had made it onto Marvonia's sanctions list. It was also the only company that Marvonian citizens had lobbied for.Helen placed a hand on the table and tapped her fingers rhythmically. She said, "Before I came here, I heard about Vitality Biotech Group suing Fletcher Corporation, which means they're probably gonna be in deep trouble soon."If that does happen, I can talk to Vitality Biotech Group's founder about working with us on the Alzheimer's medication, which they've been working on with Fletcher Corporation."Lawson Global had been interested in cooperating with Vitality Biotech Group on the Alzheimer's medication. But it hadn't been an exclusive contract, so the company's management had failed to come to an agreement on the cooperation.Besides, in large corporations, it would take ages for a project to get through unless the higher-ups were the ones who wanted it to get through.

    Mason had never understood why Robert had pushed his blood relatives aside for an adoptive son. Later, when Sean had led Lawson Global to greater heights in terms of revenue and reputation, Mason had set aside his prejudice.But when Angeline, who was related to Sean, had suddenly become Jessica's adoptive daughter, Mason felt something was afoot. He took it as Sean wanted to have Lawson Global and the Lawson family fortune to himself.After all, there was only a 15 or 16-year age gap between Angeline and Jessica. If Robert was truly fond of Angeline, he could've adopted her himself. But he'd made Jessica adopt Angeline—it was obvious what was going on!Robert would definitely indicate in his will that half of his assets and shares would go to Jessica. Since Jessica wasn't married and wasn't in the right state of mind to get married, everything she inherited would go to Angeline.No matter how capable Sean was, there was no way Mason could accept his ambition in wanting to claim ev

    "Ms. Lawson, you're putting up such a good show!" Angeline couldn't help applauding Helen.Mason slammed his hand on the table. "You'd better not go too far! Is Mr. Lawson Senior in his dotage? Why would he take an outsider who isn't related to us by blood instead of his own family? What right does an outsider have to take the position of executive vice president?"Angeline looked at Mason when she heard his remark about Robert, her gaze sharp. "I'm sorry, but I'm fully qualified to be the executive vice president of Lawson Group. In the past, we didn't announce this as there was no reason to, but I can't abide anyone doubting Mr. Lawson Senior. Mr. Lawson Senior asked me to be the executive vice president of Lawson Global because I founded Vitality Biotech Group and expanded it to its current scale within four years." The moment Angeline spoke, everyone in the conference room fell silent.Helen's pupils constricted. She clenched her fists as her heart beat rapidly."If it weren'

    Sean glanced at his watch. Smiling, he said, "Mr. Reilly of Vitality Biotech Group will be coming to Lawson Global this afternoon. When he arrives, we'll know what the truth is.""Mr. Webb?" The board member sitting beside Daniel asked him in a low voice, "Is Ms. Lawson truly the founder of Vitality Biotech Group?"Daniel nodded."Wow! No wonder Mr. Lawson Senior wanted Ms. Lawson to take the position of executive vice president! He's counting on Vitality Biotech Group, isn't he?" another board member chimed in. He could barely suppress his delight. "Ms. Lawson is part of the Lawson family! This company belongs to her… if that's the case, Vitality Biotech Group must take us into consideration, too! This collaboration is pretty much in the bag!""What's going on?" asked the board member sitting beside Helen. "Aren't you very close with Danny? Is Ms. Lawson the founder of Vitality Biotech Group or not?"Even the board member sitting opposite Helen asked, "Is the collaboration betwee

    Angeline had refuted Helen with just one sentence, and the latter's expression darkened slightly. "But Mr. Reilly from Vitality Biotech Group is coming this afternoon. I'm the one who has been in contact with him from the beginning, so how should I introduce myself when I meet him today? Do I introduce myself as a member of Lawson Global's board of directors?""Ms. Helen Lawson, what position did you tell him you were in when you discussed the collaboration with Vitality Biotech Group? That's the one you should be introducing yourself as when you meet Mr. Reilly," Angeline asked.Then Angeline smiled and said, "Or… perhaps you don't even know Mr. Reilly at all. You've only been saying that you're close to him to persuade the other board members to take your side."Helen had been trying to get herself a position so that she could contact Vitality Biotech Group in advance later and cover up for herself. However, Angeline's words foiled her plans at once."It's almost time." Sean didn

    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
