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
