Simon chuckled lowly. "I understand."Angeline's use of the fact that she'd saved Simon to get Norwalk Corporation involved in a political matter wasn't enough to cover the havoc Ingrid's lie would wreak on the company.But the revelation of Angeline being Simon's savior and Norwalk Corporation being at risk of harm made Simon pause to consider the issue at the important juncture of Marvonia's diplomatic visit to Ica.Angeline was an incredible academic, but she was an even better businesswoman.Simon put the folder down. "It's no wonder you managed to get Vitality Biotech to where it is in such a short time. Aside from your accomplishments in academia, you're also an amazing entrepreneur. As for this matter… I need to meet with my people."When Angeline saw that he didn't return the folder to her but placed it down beside him instead, she knew she'd succeeded. She smiled and nodded. "Of course!""It's 11 years too late, but I must thank you. Thank you for saving me back th
Sean had had Jason report directly to Angeline on the overseas expansion."It's all because of the political elements. They're allies with Marvonia and don't want to risk offending them." Angeline removed her earrings as she spoke. "Still, it'd be good to get the news of our collaboration with Norwalk Corporation out before the Minister of Commerce's visit."Even if Norwalk Corporation is nothing but a luxury brand, it's nationally recognized in Ica. I'm sure Fontenay will consider that and wonder whether it's something the government approves of."This was what doing business was about. One had to mix genuine and fake news to achieve one's goals."So, have you and Simon already agreed on the collaboration?" Sean asked."Not yet, but there shouldn't be any issue with it. The conflict within the Norwalk family is intense now. Simon's the one who took Ingrid on as Norwalk Corporation's global ambassador, and she's also—from the public's perception—his savior."From a purely bus
"I do," Sean answered. Angeline was already starting to show her capabilities."There isn't too much space in my heart. I have you, Mom, Granddad, and the kids in there, and my work takes up the rest. Nothing else can fit inside." Angeline seemed to have grasped the best way to appease Sean."I hope you won't forget that the kids and I are waiting for you to return. You're embarking on a journey to get revenge, but please remember to keep yourself safe while you're at it. You know how badly Yasmine wants to live with you. Xavier adores you, too, but just isn't good at expressing himself."Sean lifted her into his arms, his breathing getting heavy. She hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "The housekeeper's prepared dinner, and I still have some work…""That can wait!" The bedroom door slammed shut behind them.…It was 9:40 pm when Sean left the bedroom, dressed in loungewear after showering. He softly shut the door behind him.He leaned against the balco
"Helen Lawson called me, saying that she wanted to work with me. She thinks I'm the father of Angie's kids, so she wants to trick them out of the old Lawson residence and hand them to me. That way, I can use their custody to threaten Angie into making Vitality Biotech Group let Fletcher Corporation off the hook."Ned looked serious as he spoke. "I was worried she would harm the kids, so I pretended to go along with her over the phone."He pulled his phone out. "I'll send you the recording."After doing so, he subconsciously looked past Sean and into the apartment, trying to catch a glimpse of Angeline. Then, he said, "Angie's blocked my number. I haven't given Helen an answer, so if Angie has any questions… she can contact me."I'll go along with whatever plans she has! Even if she wants to report this to the police, I'll cooperate as best as I can. I can act as a witness."Sean nodded. "I'll pass the message to her."Ned couldn't hide his disappointment for not being able to see
"You shouldn't dirty your hands with someone like Helen, Ms. Angeline. Mr. Lawson Senior already has something planned for her! It's exhausting enough for you to handle Lawson Global. If you trust me, leave her up to me," Asher said.Angeline tightened her grip on her phone. After a moment of silence, she replied, "Alright, then. I'll leave the kids, Granddad, and Mom in your hands."When she walked out of the bedroom, she saw Sean had already brought the food to the table. "Come and eat."He got her a bowl of mushroom soup and placed it before her. "Don't worry about the kids' safety. Mr. Lawson Senior's always had his guard up against Rowan and Helen."Now that Rowan's behind bars, the people who were watching him are watching Helen. She won't be able to cause any real harm. I'll have someone keep an eye on her, too."Thanks to the poisoning incident, Robert was particularly strict when managing the household staff. "Asher also told me not to get my hands dirty if I trusted hi
This time, however, Fletcher Corporation had gone down because of Vitality Biotech Group. It would only be natural for one to wonder if this was Angeline's vengeance on Ned."Look, things aren't at their worst yet. I just spoke to Zachary. He'll think of a way to contact Angie, and we'll try to get to her too. We all grew up together, so we'll try to persuade her to leave Fletcher Corporation with a chance at survival." Miles patted Ned on the shoulder.Something about his words got on Ned's nerves. Ned shoved Miles' hand away and glared at him with bloodshot eyes. He roared, "Don't you guys dare stick your noses into my and Angie's business. I haven't forgotten about you guys forcing her to leave me!"He hadn't forgotten how his so-called friends had circled Angeline and convinced her to leave him after he'd lost his memories. She'd just woken up from her coma, too.Miles was taken aback. "Be reasonable, Ned. You were head over heels for Ingrid at the time. Angie's our friend too,
Perhaps they hadn't noticed, either. Because deep inside, they didn't think Angeline was on the same level as them. It was a sense of superiority that they had been born with, which was why they had persuadedAngeline to give up on Ned instead of telling Ingrid to leave Ned. They hadn't advised Ned to treat Angeline gently, nor did they cooperate with Angeline when she was trying to tell Ned about their moving love story. At this point, Angeline was in a position far beyond their reach, which prompted them to mention their past friendship with Angeline again. It was merely their instinct to ingratiate themselves with the stronger ones. They had never been Angeline's friends. "So, Ned, are you planning to use Fletcher Corporation to make up for how much you once hurt Angeline? If so, I'll tell the others not to waste their time trying to contact her. Then they won't have a chance to use you and Fletcher Corporation to try and reach out to her." Miles' words were such an irony.
Since Sean had mentioned it, Angeline was curious. "What happened to Winston?" "Winston isn't Mr. Webb's son." Sean smiled slightly as he turned the steering wheel and drove out of the parking lot. "The child was swapped."Angeline was shocked. She had never imagined that something like that would happen. "I thought that this kind of scenario would only happen in TV shows, movies, or novels.""This kind of scenario was inspired by real-life events." Then Sean explained slowly to Angeline, "The paternity test results were out. The Webb family's nanny at the time swapped the children because she wanted her grandson to live a good life with a good family. "Mr. Webb was away on a business trip while Mrs. Webb left the child to the nanny's care after he was born. The nanny swapped Mr. Webb's child for her own grandchild.""Where is Mr. Webb's real son?" Angeline asked. "Mr. Webb's real son is a go-getter. He excelled academically throughout his childhood, and although his family k
