"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

    Ingrid felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Everything that she had found strange now made absolute sense. No wonder Ned had suddenly seemed to accept the bankruptcy of Fletcher Corporation, whereas before that he had been running himself ragged for the company. He hadn't been afraid, not even when Barry had beat him severely.He had been atoning for what he had done to Angeline. Maybe Ned had insisted on calling off their engagement because he wanted to atone for his mistakes with Fletcher Corporation and pursue Angeline again! According to the stories about Ned and Angeline circulating in Oceanford, Ned had always been the wild, passionate one. He would do anything for Angeline, and he listened to every word she said. In the same way, he would give up anything for her, even his life. This had been the kind of love that Ingrid had once desired the most!That was why she had done her utmost to imitate Angeline and attract Ned. However, a counterfeit product coul

    Ingrid couldn't understand how Angeline could be so cruel as to ruin Ned's life despite his wish to get back together with her. She wondered what Angeline would get out of this. The more Ingrid thought about it, the more she felt wronged for both Ned and her. "To Lawson Global!" Ingrid ordered the chauffeur with red eyes. Angeline went through the contract with Lara and her team in the meeting room at Lawson Global. "Your team is very efficient, Ms. Lara." Angeline smiled. "Time is money! Of course, we have to do this quickly!" Lara replied. She smiled and asked, "So, Ms. Lawson, you mentioned you would choose a person from Scott Incorporated yourself to be in charge of connecting with Lawson Global. Have you made your decision?" "I do. I would like Ms. Monica Scott to be in charge of it," Angeline answered politely. Lara and her team turned their head toward Angeline, surprised by her answer. Lara's team looked at each other in confusion and speechless.They all kne

    Jamie wondered why an actress would look for Ms. Lawson. "She said she was Ms. Lawson's junior," Sarah replied. "Alright. I'll let you know after Ms. Lawson comes out of Mr. Lawson's office," Jamie said. …Angeline answered Simon's phone call in Sean's office. He had agreed to release a collaboration piece with Lawson Global and had delayed his return trip. After hanging up the phone, Angeline smiled and told Sean, "Norwalk Corporation had no problem with the collaboration. We can announce the collab during the announcement of the Minister of Commerce of Marvonia's trip to Ica. "Also, the video of Simon and I having a meal had worked. The collaboration with Fontenay is also progressing." Sean stared at Angeline, who looked sparkling when talking about work, and said, "When I'm gone, I would only worry about someone coveting for you instead of you ceasing to be faithful." "Huh?" Angeline stared at Sean in confusion. "I mean… It seems you only have work in your mind." Se

    Angeline's relationship with Sean was complicated. She had to be cautious so that no one noticed them. Otherwise, as Brayden had said, it would taint the Lawson family's name. Angeline stiffened as she heard a door knock and pushed Sean away. But Sean sucked on her tongue in return with a strong, possessive instinct of a man. As the knock at the door sounded again, Angeline patted Sean while panting. "Just a moment, please!" Sean helped Angeline comb her stray hair and switched off the switchable glass before stoically sitting behind the desk. "I'll take my leave then." Angeline opened the door with the phone in her hand. Taylor greeted Angeline outside the door, "Hello, Ms. Lawson." Angeline lightly nodded and left Sean's office before being stopped by Jamie. "Ms. Lawson, the receptionist said Ingrid Dalton, the actress who's also the global ambassador for Norwalk Corporation, wants to meet you. "She said she's your junior." Angeline looked at Monica's phone number a

    Ingrid couldn't control herself and cried, "Ned is about to break off our engagement and return to your side. But why are you still hurting him? What do you get out of this?" Angeline stared at the cathartic Ingrid before leaning back onto the couch and asking, "Did I force Tommy to stay in the casino and gamble away? Or did I urge him to steal the formula to repay his debt? "Yes, I'm the founder of Vitality Biotech Group. But what proof do you have to accuse me of making Fletcher Corporation go bankrupt? Did I tell them to exploit the loophole in the contract with Vitality Biotech Group to collaborate with Yates Group? Did I tell them to steal and sell our formula?" "Excuses! Whatever you tried to explain, it was you who framed Tommy!" Ingrid accused while weeping. "If you have the proof, go to the police instead of me. I'll cooperate with the police investigation," Angelie replied coldly. "And about Ned breaking off the engagement with you, it's none of my business. I'm not a

    Angeline sat on the couch with her legs crossed and hands resting on her knees. Although she was seated, she had a condescending look at Ingrid that made the latter feel humiliated. "Love is a matter for two people. You should never be the only one contributing to it," Angeline advised. "I don't think I've ever wronged Ned in our relationship. Plus, regardless of how he treated me, I protected him with my life during the accident. So, Ned is the one who owes me for causing me to be in a vegetative state." "But regardless, didn't you love Ned before? How could you be so ruthless to Ned and leave no space for him? Is all your love for each other a mirage? Are you truly this heartless, Angie?" Ingrid cried, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Please, Angie. I'm begging you. I'm returning Ned to you. Could you let him go?" Ingrid tried to pay for her mistakes. Everything started because Tommy was addicted to gambling, which dragged Yates Group, then Fletcher Corporation, into this mess

    "How… How could you be so cruel?" Ingrid sobbed. Ingrid had spent years in the entertainment world. She wouldn't be this naive not to know how cruel reality could be. Ingrid had always been a faux naïf. She was an expert in playing dumb and let her agent, Linda, deal with her mess. She was used to using this method to achieve her goals. However, one thing Angeline believed was that Ingrid truly loved Ned. "Cruel? Then what should I do?" Angeline mocked and chuckled. "Repent and be desperate when Ned left me, then welcome him wholeheartedly when he wants to return? Should I give everything to him? "Think, Ms. Dalton. I'm a human, but not someone else's accessory." Ingrid looked up at Angeline in anger after listening to her chuckle. She bawled, "How could you laugh at this moment? You never loved Ned! If only Ned could spare me half or even a third of his love for you, I would die for him! As long as Ned could remember me!" "You're foolish to die for a man. What good wil

    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
