Sean turned more aggressive as he bit into Angeline's thin shoulder. She grabbed onto his short, black hair while slowly losing consciousness, as if she was on the verge of drowning. However, Angeline felt a sense of security and belonging from Sean's increasingly demandingness and deep stares. Perhaps it was at these times that Angeline could imagine Sean's strong and fierce love through this deep stare of him. It was a possessiveness so passionate that it was frightening. But Angeline liked Sean because of this. "What time is it?" Angeline asked in a hoarse voice. Sean tightened his arm, hugging Angeline closer, and kissed her burning ears. "It's already 1:00 pm. Are you hungry? The housekeeper had prepared lunch for us." Angeline believed she couldn't go to work in her current state. Sean's lips pressed onto Angeline's and sucked on her tongue with force as she turned around. He let go of her once Angeline was powerless from the kiss. "Who drugged you yesterday?" Ang
Angeline raised her head and wrapped her arms around Sean's neck to accept his kiss. She could feel that Sean was more gentle and caring this time, as his kiss was slow and tender on her swollen lips, without the crazy possessiveness from the night before. While kissing, Sean combed Angeline's long, flowing hair with his fingers. "Xavier and Yasmine sent you a lot of videos last night. I've replied to them for you," Sean said. "Xavier had chosen six home tutors, who are all experienced in their field. He had sent you all their details too. "Mr. Millstone was going to ask for your opinions, but I've replied on your behalf after going through the details myself. You can recheck them if you're not at the office today." "Alright, I'll have a look later," Angeline replied as her hand slid from Sean's neck to his strong arm. She looked up at Sean with her eyes, which were red either from lack of sleep or shyness from the kiss earlier. "Can I ask? Who drugged you last night?" Angeli
The Sean that Taylor worked for was the president of Lawson Global, while the Sean that Brayden knew was Shane Kingston. It wasn't hard for Angeline to deduce who drugged Sean based on this. "But why? Why did Brayden drug you?" Angeline asked while looking at Sean. "Was it to break us apart?" Sean smiled and caressed Angeline's hair before kissing her again. "No one can break us apart, Angie. Not a single person can!" It was just as Angeline thought. Although Angeline didn't dislike Brayden because of his relationship with Sean, she couldn't stand him for attempting to create an irreversible rift between Sean and her by utilizing Sean's trust in him. Angeline's throat felt better after eating something. She turned on her laptop and phone to start working through her backlog of work.Jamie was shocked when he heard Angeline's voice through the phone call. Angeline explained, "I got a cold which causes a sore throat. I'll text you as talking hurts my throat." "Okay, sur
"So, where are you, Mr. Green?" "Oh, I'm at home at the moment," Brayden said while touching the wound on the corner of his lips. "You called me to ask what happened to Shane yesterday, didn't you, Angeline?"If you don't mind going through the trouble, you may take the elevator and come to my home. I'll explain everything in detail to you. So, how about it? I'll wait for you at the elevator.' "Sure. See you in ten minutes." Angeline hung up the phone and passed it to Lenny. "I'm going to get changed." Lenny was worried as he saw Angeline's calm look, unsure if he should let Sean know. "Don't tell Sean," Angeline said. With his thoughts read by Angeline, Lenny awkwardly replied, "Okay, I understood." Lenny pressed the elevator button when he saw Angeline leave the house after changing. As the elevator door opened, Brayden was waiting for Angeline outside the elevator. With hands in the pocket, Brayden didn't care if anyone saw the injuries on his face. He smiled and gr
"Easy now, Angeline. I'm getting to my point!" Brayden smiled while taking out his phone. He opened a photo from his album and showed it to Angeline. "Here, look at this. She was Shane's fiancee, as decided by Uncle Spencer when Shane was a kid." Inside the photo was a beautiful woman with long, wavy hair that reached her waist. She wore an aquamarine gown, with one hand holding a wine glass and the other holding the arm belonging to… Sean? Angeline could confirm the man in the photo wasn't Sean, but he resembled Sean. Angeline looked at the woman again and raised an eyebrow. She knew who the woman was. "Swipe right. It's the photo from when they were kids," Brayden said. Angeline remained silent and swiped right. The photo showed Sean when he was about five years old. He wore a customized suit and stood before a fountain in a garden with a bright smile. Beside him was a little girl with a bow on her head while wearing a puffy dress. She was kissing Sean's chubby cheeks while
"So? What're you going to do about me?" Brayden arrogantly leaned back onto the couch with his legs crossed and arms on the back. "I know you grew up abroad, Mr. Green. But are you aware of how strict our government is in cracking down on organized crime?" Angeline said with a stern look. Brayden mocked, "Are you trying to scare me?" "That's just child's play. Against you? I prefer something more serious," Angeline said. Suddenly, Brayden's phone rang. Angeline raised her eyebrows. "Go ahead. Pick it up." Brayden narrowed his eyes. He disliked being ordered by people. He put down his leg and picked up the phone. "You'd better tell me something important for calling me at this hour. Otherwise, I'm going to break your leg!" Brayden's expression shifted as he listened to the phone. He looked toward Angeline with gloomy eyes. After a brief silence, Brayden said through gritted teeth, "Alright. It's okay. Just figure out how to bail them out." Brayden sneered at Angeline
Brayden wore a terrifying, grim expression as he watched the elevator door close. After letting out a cold laugh, he smashed the whiskey glass on the floor. Brayden resented Angeline's condescending look, which resembled Sean. He knew Sean disliked Melissa. But because Sean had always wanted a sister when he was a kid, he liked and cared for Melissa, pampering her like his younger sister. However, Brayden was clear that Melissa hadn't come all the way here the day before to be Sean's younger sister. Everything about Melissa showed that she was the perfect match for Sean. Because Sean disliked Melissa, she wouldn't be his weakness. That was the reason why Brayden helped Melissa to be with Sean. So, Brayden had served Sean a drugged wine. But he never would've thought Sean could control himself that much and didn't even lay a finger on the drunk Melissa. Brayden pulled his collar and thought, "Is Angeline going to latch onto Shane like a leech?" The worst part about this
Soon, Melissa's profile and photos showed up on the screen. Melissa had a great resume. She graduated from one of the top universities and worked in Trustworth Group ever since. She wasn't in a relationship and had never gone on a blind date for many years. Besides, Melissa had even publicly announced in a press conference that she would always belong to his fiancé even if he had passed away. She had also told the elders not to arrange blind dates for their children with her for the sake of their marriage. Because of this statement, Melissa received countless amounts of praise on social media. It wasn't because they agreed with her faithfulness and feudal mindset, but because they thought she was courageous enough to live her own life. She could be a role model for women. Most Kemanian women agreed that women should decide on their marriage without being influenced by the opinions of their elders or outsiders. They would rather stay single and live the rest of their life alone
