Sean's desire for Angeline was terrifyingly stronger than he had imagined. He yearned to kiss and touch her skin at every moment of every hour. He craved her warmth and breath incessantly. Angeline held the edge of the large desk with one hand and wrapped her other hand around Sean's neck. Although her body had begun reacting honestly to his kiss, her eyes still shook as she glanced anxiously toward the door. Angeline was afraid that someone would abruptly enter.With a hand on her face, Sean forcefully turned Angeline toward him. Forcing her to look at him, he bit down hard on her lips. "Stay focused," he said in a low tone."I'm afraid that someone will enter…" Angeline faltered uneasily.The scorching heat emitting through the fabric from Sean's sturdy legs caused Angeline to become restless. "No one can enter my office casually." Sean took off his glasses. Holding Angeline by the back of her head, he deepened their kiss. His hands tightened around her waist. Pull

"When are you meeting up with Monica?" Sean asked."At 12:30 pm. Jamie has already booked a private room at Camelia Cuisine," Angeline replied honestly. "Alright." Sean pressed a kiss at the corner of her lips. "I've made an appointment with some of my clients to play golf in the afternoon. I'll be heading back from the golf course."Just then, his phone vibrated. Picking it up from the desk, Sean looked at it impatiently. Angeline got up from his embrace. Still gasping for breath, she began to tidy her clothes and hair hastily.Angeline spoke out when Sean declined the call. "I'll head back to the office first. I'll update you about the meeting with Monica when I return." "Okay." He nodded.Sean pulled out a cigarette after watching Angeline leave. Holding it by the corner of his lips, he lit the cigarette to placate the desire that had almost consumed him. …That day, Monica didn't hesitate to agree when she received a call from Angeline to have lunch together.

Monica glanced at Angeline. The corner of her bright red lips curled up as she emitted an imposing presence. "It looks like you've done a thorough research on me."Angeline didn't deny it. Tapping her fingers lightly against the table, she said, "You decided to leave land No. 3 until the very last because you knew how important it was in the project despite its small size. "We'd both get what we want as long as you're willing to sell the land to Lawson Global."The land was significant enough that Scott Incorporated would definitely agree to share a slice of the pie with Lawson Global. They would also even agree to reinstate Monica's position in the project.After all, the capital injection was all to gain a share of the profit. Monica couldn't help but acknowledge that Angeline's way with words left her at ease. At the sight of a hint of a smile on Monica's face, Angeline held up the cup of coffee, a watch adorned on her hand. "Let's substitute wine with coffee. Cheers

"Ms. Lara, please calm down. I think that Mr. Lawson doesn't feel anything for you. Everyone knows how his personality is—he's not approachable at all. He wouldn't have put you on the spot simply because of Ms. Monica. It's more likely that he wants Lawson Global to have a slice of the cake!" Lara's assistant whispered to her.All three of the Scott daughters worked in the company and were equally important in rank. To avoid any confusion, everyone referred to them by name instead of addressing them all as "Ms. Scott"."Regardless, get in touch with Sean and figure out what Lawson Global is planning," Lara said irritatedly.Lara's assistant soon returned from her task. "I called Mr. Lawson's assistant, Mr. Powell. He says that Mr. Lawson doesn't know anything about this. So, he asked around. He called me back earlier and told me that Lawson Global's newest vice president, Ms. Lawson, signed the papers for land No. 3.""Ms. Lawson?" Lara frowned. "You mean… that adoptee, Angel

"Alright!" Jamie replied.Angeline smiled as she looked over the data on her computer screen. She wasn't familiar with Lara. So, she would observe her attitude first. Then, Angeline would decide whether to put on a show or be direct instead.The rumors said that Robert had made Angeline vice president of Lawson Group to determine if she or Sean was more worthy of being his successor. While Sean was an impressive man, Angeline was able to build Vitality Biotech Group into the company that it was presently. It was no small feat to do so in just four years.Angeline could use this rumor to her advantage during her meeting with Lara.Lara arrived sooner than Angeline thought.Lara didn't beat around the bush. "I heard you've just acquired a piece of land from a small company. Please name your price! That land is… quite important to me."Angeline feigned surprise before pulling out a document. "This piece of land, you mean?"Lara glanced at it and nodded. "Yes, that's it. Name

"Isn't discussion part of doing business? If you don't think it's fair for me to want half of the profits, Ms. Lara, we can discuss this further. It's impossible to think that we can close a deal in just a single meeting." Angeline smiled as she lifted her teacup. "I'm in no rush. You can take a look at the proposal first."Angeline may not be in a rush, but Lara was desperate. Angeline was deliberately putting on a show. Since she already promised Monica that she would bring her into the fold through the project team, she had to keep that promise. Lara would definitely turn down Angeline's proposal if this were mentioned to her.If Angeline initially set the bar high for Lara but gradually lowered them, she could still achieve her goals."As far as I know, Ms. Lara, this project needs a substantial amount of capital. Rather than have Scott Incorporated work together with multiple smaller companies, why not join hands with us, Lawson Global, instead? Our income streams guarant

Lara's father tapped the desk. "Have you discussed this internally? What did they say?""Yes." Lara smiled. "Upper management also agreed that working with Lawson Global will be better than working with a few other smaller companies. That way, we'd be guaranteed steady funding. Although we'll need to let them have a share of our profits, they'll also be sharing the risk. Lawson Global's contribution will greatly aid this project.""Alright!" Lara's father nodded. "You have complete say over this project. You make the final call!""Then, I shall get someone to draft the agreement." Lara got up. At the sight of her father frowning in hesitation, she spoke again. "Don't worry, I won't let you down.""Just do what you have to do."Lara felt a lot lighter after she left her father's office. She then ordered her assistant to start writing the agreement for Lawson Global."I need it immediately!" Lara pointed out. "I don't need another wrench in my plans.""So, how much

Angeline's heartbeat quickened as the garage door rolled down."What's wrong?"Sean's lips curved into a smile as he leaned in closer to her. He reached out to tuck her hair behind her ears as he asked in a low voice, "When I asked you where you were going for lunch, I was asking you if you were going to eat nearby your office or if you were going to eat at home. What else could I have been asking?"Angeline's face burst into flames as her breathing grew chaotic. She had to admit that her mind was in the gutter when Sean asked her earlier this afternoon. She had misunderstood him entirely then.When he saw Angeline's flushed face, he instantly understood her thoughts. So, he reached out to pull her in for a kiss.Robert had been standing outside with his cane in hand. He watched in shock as Sean kissed his granddaughter.Asher's eyes widened with shock as well. Reflexively, he reached over to support Robert's weight. "Sir."At the sound of Asher's voice, Sean turned his head

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
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 1056
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
