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
"Get someone to keep an eye on Helen. Don't let her contact the Emmersons in any way," Sean instructed Lenny, who was beside him."Okay!" Lenny immediately turned around and went out to make a phone call. After Helen had left, Angeline turned to Robert and gripped her bag tightly as she called out, "Granddad…"Robert was still holding his thermos of tea. He looked up, and his gaze swept over both Angeline and Sean. "What's the matter? Did you come back to see if I've died of anger yet?" Robert took a sip of tea and realized that the thermos was almost empty. He handed it to Sandy. Sandy hurriedly took the thermos and went to refill it. Asher waved his hand and gestured for the rest of the servants to leave. Only Angeline, Sean, and Robert remained in the living room.Sean walked over to Angeline and stood side by side with her as he looked at Robert. He said, "I know that you're still angry and that any explanation would be pointless." He took off his suit jacket and thr
Yasmine and Xavier had spent half their lifetime with Jessica, so naturally they had a very close relationship. Jessica was so amused by the tiny tots that her shoulders shook as she laughed. She touched Yasmine's chubby little face. "Yasmine just wants me to drive her there and pick her up!""You're so smart, Beautiful Ms. Lawson!" Yasmine continued nuzzling her. "Alright, alright! Yasmine will go to kindergarten and I'll take her there and pick her up!" Jessica smiled as she held Yasmine in her arms. Affection brimmed in her eyes as she looked at Xavier. "Xavier has always had his own thoughts. Why don't we let Mr. Millstone choose a few teachers and let Xavier decide?""Okay!" Xavier said obediently. …After Simon met with Angeline, he had a video conference with his think tank. Internal competition in Norwalk Corporation was intense, as the three heirs of the Norwalk family were constantly competing. Simon had always had a good reputation, and when they had selected
"What supplementary agreement?" Ingrid picked it up and looked through it. Her eyes widened, and she turned so pale that she barely had the strength or courage to look at Simon. Her finger almost pierced through the paper because of how tightly she held it.She wondered if Simon knew everything.Ingrid dared not ask.She was afraid of knowing the answer. The agreement wanted Ingrid to be solely responsible for any scandals that arose because of her words, actions, and morality. She would also be required to cooperate unconditionally with Norwalk Corporation's public announcements. Otherwise, there would be a hefty fine, and she would also be held responsible for the impact caused to the brand. "Do I have to sign this agreement?" Ingrid asked, lowering her head. "Ingrid, in order to save your position as the global ambassador, I agreed to collaborate with Lawson Global for the launch of a joint product right before the Minister of Finance from Marvonia flies to Ica. Do you kn
Tears streamed down Ingrid's cheeks. She choked, "I didn't want to lie to you. I never wanted to! I've been keeping this to myself, and it has been tormenting me! But I had no idea of this when I signed the endorsement contract with Norwalk Corporation, and after that, things were out of my control…" "Ingrid, crying won't solve anything," Simon comforted her gently. "Lawson Global now has a collaboration with Norwalk Corporation, so they wouldn't want anything to happen to our ambassador either. Lawson Global won't spread this news, and we'll also negotiate with Ms. Emmerson to keep this secret together. "However, Norwalk Corporation has paid a high price to keep you as the global ambassador, and I need to give them assurance. This supplementary agreement will put all our minds at ease." If Linda had been present, Ingrid would have discussed the supplementary contract with her first. But now…She looked up at Simon with her tearful eyes and sobbed. "Ned wants to call off our e
