Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 428
As soon as she entered the apartment, Angeline smelled the food the housekeeper had kept warm for her. She glanced at the dining table to see the food laid out. She didn't have the appetite to eat anything now, though. Instead, she threw herself onto the couch.She was exhausted from throwing herself into her work today, but it also put her at ease. The stack of sky-high documents on her desk during the day made her understand that Sean was slowly handing over Lawson Global to her.It also meant the date of his departure was fast approaching. Angeline shut her eyes and threw an arm over them. She thought of Ned's tear-filled eyes, finding them laughable.She couldn't believe he actually had it in himself to feel aggrieved. Did he think using his memory loss as an excuse could wipe away everything that had happened? Did he think his regret could bring Anne and Henrietta back to life?As for those so-called friends from her past… Angeline initially intended to consider them acquainta

"Did you call me just for this?" Angeline wasn't too interested in Danny's tale. The fact that Bradley had pretended to be a rich kid was enough to show that he wouldn't achieve much in life.After Angeline had stopped sponsoring him, he'd probably been pushed to the sidelines after losing the ability to treat others to meals and whatnot. He was likely hoping that he could secure an internship at Vitality Biotech to turn the tables.But Angeline knew he wouldn't be able to step foot in Vitality Biotech, so she hadn't paid much attention to him. It's unfortunate for him that Danny loved shaming people to their faces."Now, why would I call you over something so trivial? I know how busy you are, Ms. Lawson!" Danny sounded playful. "I just wanted to tell you about this because I found it funny. Allow me to apologize for disturbing you.""Cut the crap." Angeline squeezed her phone between her ear and shoulder as she washed her hands. She knew Danny too well. He loved sharing th

Moreover, Tina had always stopped Thomas from signing any organ donation agreements. She didn't think it was a good idea and felt it would bring her bad luck.That was why Thomas was confident Tina wouldn't have signed such an agreement a week before getting into an accident. But the police hadn't found anything unusual, and they were sure Tina's signature wasn't forged. The thumbprint on the agreement was also hers.Later, Thomas discovered Tina's information on the dark web. There was even an electronic stamp on it, indicating that the deal had been sold and completed.He'd put two and two together, realizing that Tina's death hadn't been an accident at all. Someone had orchestrated her death because a price had been put on her heart.When Angeline had heard Thomas' story, it reminded her of Henrietta. That was her reason for agreeing to help him find the person who'd stolen Tina's heart."I've already investigated most of the people I suspected. There are only three left now. I

Angeline knew how much Robert cared about the kids, but she also valued their opinions. If Xavier were genuinely interested in attending college, he would have to learn how to fight for it. There were many things in this world that needed to be fought for to be attainable.Xavier leaned closer to the screen when he heard this. "Can I attempt to fight for it after giving Mr. Lawson Senior a proposal on protecting myself?""Of course!" Angeline smiled."I'll give it a shot, then." Xavier thought about it, then said, "Oh, right. Mr. Lawson Senior had a lawyer come over today."He said he wanted to change his will to leave the Lawson family's inheritance to Beautiful Ms. Lawson, Yasmine, and me. He doesn't want you and Sean to get anything. I'm guessing he told me so I could pass the message on to you."Angeline chuckled. "Got it. Remember to spend as much time as possible with Mr. Lawson Senior and Beautiful Ms. Lawson, alright?"Robert was changing his will to show his disp

"Send Helen a bouquet on behalf of the company," Angeline said stoically."Yes, ma'am." Jamie hung up.Angeline suddenly felt her toast had gone stale. She finished her milk before leaving the apartment. Lenny was already waiting for her outside. "Morning, Ms. Angeline!""Good morning." They rode the elevator together.Once again, they stopped at Brayden's floor. He walked toward them while swinging his keys."Morning, Mr. Green," Lenny said.Brayden nodded and greeted Angeline with a winning smile. "Morning, Angeline!"As the elevator doors slid shut, he said, "Did you see the news this morning? Someone was stabbed six times after being burgled. She ran down to the sixth floor, but the burglar refused to let her off the hook, causing her to fall from there."The burglar only left after that. Would you happen to know who that person offended?"It didn't sound like the supposed burglar had been there for a burglary. It appeared as though he'd been there to murder. Angel

Brayden hung up. If not for the fact that he wanted to give Ned an advantage so he could pursue Angeline again, he wouldn't even bother doing these things. He couldn't care less about Ned's grandfather's company's shares.Then, he started worrying that Ned would lose the nerve to start again after Angeline's plot against him and Fletcher Corporation. He called Jon again. Jon quickly answered and asked in trepidation, "Is there anything else, Mr. Green?""Tell Ned there are plenty of people pursuing Angeline now, including that widowed playboy, Nathaniel Hooper. Also, tell him Mr. Lawson Senior and Sean are setting her up on blind dates."If he doesn't grab this opportunity by the balls, Angeline might already be married and expecting by the time he's gotten back on his feet. That's all!"Brayden hung up. He had to lie to Ned to force him into action. Otherwise, Ned would be overly cautious because of his earlier failures.…As soon as Angeline arrived at the office, Asher calle

Robert picked up the dossier on Jesse. It indicated that Jesse had dated two other women after that, but the relationships had been short-lived. According to his friends, it was because there was someone in his heart whom he couldn't forget.Robert couldn't help nodding in approval. Jesse seemed like a great guy. He had morals and was also faithful. More importantly, his family wasn't complicated."He's the second son in his family, so there shouldn't be any issue with him becoming a matrilocal son-in-law." Asher had already considered the far future.Robert was quite satisfied with the pool of young, capable men Asher had picked out. The main criterion for the selection was that they were all similar to Sean in one way or another.Whether it was their figure or personality, Asher had tried his best to pick men similar to Sean. For instance, all the young men were at least six feet tall and had slender, toned figures. In terms of their personalities, they were all the level-heade

"Of course! Angie's my daughter," Jessica said as she turned to trim another plant. There was no telling if she'd remembered the past or if she was just saying she'd agreed to adopt Angeline like Robert had told her to.Angeline saw Robert playing chess with a tall, handsome young man by the window when she entered the villa. The young man wore a neatly pressed shirt and trousers. He fiddled with a black chess piece as he contemplated his next move.Robert was also focused on the chessboard. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes. He seemed pleased that he had a worthy opponent.A maid showed up with some tea for Robert. She was about to greet Angeline when the latter gestured for her to hand over the tray and fruit platter. She wanted to bring it to Robert and the guest.Robert had already heard the maids greeting Angeline as soon as she entered the villa. He secretly observed the man before him and didn't say anything when he saw how focused the man was.Robert only spoke up

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
