"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
"What's going on with you? Why didn't you tell me that you changed your number? None of us are even able to contact you!" Mallory complained and glanced over at Sean. Knowing his identity, Mallory greeted meekly, "Uncle Sean." Without saying a word, Angeline slid her arm out from Mallory's and wore a polite yet distant smile. Mallory didn't seem to notice and went close to Angeline again. "I heard that you've been adopted by the daughter of Lawson Global's chairman, Mr. Lawson Senior. Does that mean that you…""Mallory!" Miles interrupted her as he descended the stairs. He smiled and nodded at Sean before pulling Mallory roughly over to his side. "Ned's in hospital, so Mallory and I came to Krontos to visit him. We didn't expect to bump into you here, Angeline. How have you been for the past few years?" "Pretty good." Angeline maintained a smile on her face as if she hadn't heard the probing tone in Miles' voice. Smiling, she said, "We need to eat quickly and head back to the of
Mallory turned around in a huff, pulled open the car door, and got in. She felt so aggrieved that her eyes turned red. She knew that Angeline didn't want to acknowledge her, but she was doing all this for Miles, who had been protecting her ever since they were young. They weren't kids anymore. She couldn't fathom why he was trying to hold onto his pride when it would affect the business.Angeline and Sean sat down to order. Looking through the menu, Sean suddenly said, "Those friends of you and Ned seem pretty loyal. They actually came all the way to Krontos just because Ned is in hospital." Angeline looked up at Sean, who was studying the menu intently. She laughed nonchalantly. "They're Ned's friends, not mine." It had taken her time to realize that people from different worlds would never be friends."The one called Miles told you that Ned is in hospital. Don't you have anything you want to ask? After all, didn't Ned purposely come last night to tell you that Helen approache
Robert had allowed Asher and Sandy to notify Angeline and Sean, but that was because things had been awkward between the three ever since he found out that they were dating. He wanted to use this as a chance to ease the relationship between them. "I heard that the Emmersons would do anything for money, Uncle Robert. If they were to know Angeline has acknowledged Jessica as her mother, wouldn't they think that Jessica is her biological mother? They would check the timing and see that it matches. "Would Benjamin also think that he's part of the Lawson family and come to look for his mother? Even if Jessica isn't their biological mother, he might come and harass her anyway. After all, that's what their family is like… If they harass Jessica, it might trigger her again, right?" Helen faltered slightly when she saw that Robert remained silent. All he did was take a sip of his tea. "Uncle Robert, do you really not care at all?" Helen picked up her bag and smiled as she said, "Since
