Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 433
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

"Would that be appropriate?" Angeline asked. "Before coming home, I asked Asher about this. It might be better for Ewan to learn from Mr. Xanders instead since he'll be taking over his family's company in the future. Mr. Xanders has so much more experience."It hasn't been long since I joined Lawson Global. I'm not as experienced as the company's veterans."Ewan could sense Angeline's hesitance in taking him on. He didn't want to force her into anything and leave her with a bad impression, so he smiled and said, "I think we should just go with Angeline's suggestion, Mr. Lawson Senior. I hope to learn much from her once I join Lawson Global, though.""Well, if you say so…" Robert turned to Angeline. "I'll leave Ewan in your hands, Angie. Remember to care for him like you would your family.""I will, Granddad.""I should be the one caring for her, Mr. Lawson Senior." Ewan smiled gently at Angeline. "We shouldn't do things the other way around."Robert chuckled. "We're

Sean sat at the head of the table. He leaned back in his seat and tapped a slender finger on the folder before him. He only needed to swivel his chair slightly to see Ewan leaning close to Angeline and saying something to her. They looked intimate.Angeline chuckled softly at something Ewan said, then opened the folder before her and wrote something down. She pushed the folder toward Ewan. He read whatever she'd written thoughtfully.Sean propped his arm up on the armrest of his chair and frowned slightly at the documents in front of him. Although his expression wasn't very expressive, the senior executive giving his report still sensed the tension in the air.It pressured the senior executive, and his confidence diminished for the remaining half of his presentation. He couldn't help wondering whether he'd said something wrong. Then, when Sean glanced at him, he stopped talking altogether."Go on." Sean straightened his tie.Angeline looked at him. The conference room's lights h

"Alright. Don't worry, Granddad," Angeline said.After hanging up, she called her housekeeper at Grand Court Residences and had her prepare lunch for Sean alone. Immediately after hanging up, Sean called her on her office's landline. "Hello?"Sean sounded brisk and businesslike on the other end of the line. "Did you approve the budget for the acquisition of a cinema in the second half of the year?""Yes. Is there something wrong?""I want you and Mr. Xanders in my office now."Angeline had Jamie retrieve the report on the cinema's revenue that had been given to her earlier. She also found a copy of the proposal to acquire the cinema. When she arrived at Sean's office, Gary was already there with Ewan."The project's already ongoing, so we'll lose a lot of money if we stop it now." After some simple calculations, Gary continued, "And I discussed this with Ms. Lawson."We felt that the information the marketing team presented and the cinema's historical revenue were enough t

Angeline was taken aback. "How's that possible?"Sean released his mouse and moved away, leaving space between him and his computer. "Come and see it for yourself."She circled his desk to stand before the computer. She bent down to grip the mouse and looked down as she compared the figures.Sean looked at Gary and Ewan. "You two can return to work for now."Gary nodded, leaving with Ewan in tow. The door shut behind them, leaving Angeline and Sean alone inside.Sean got up and pushed the chair from behind Angeline. She thanked him and sat down as she compared the figures seriously.He stood behind her and took in her features, which were lit by the computer screen's light. He placed a hand on the back of the chair and leaned down to point out the error he'd detected. "Here it is."Angeline compared it with the one in the document. There was indeed something wrong with it. "I need to use your phone."She called her secretary's office and had someone verify the figures

Angeline was caught off guard. With one hand on Sean's shoulder, she reached for the remote on the table with the other. She made the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass panels turn into frosted glass.She stared at Sean for a while, unable to stop herself from getting mad. "Have I ever stopped you from doing the things you need to do? Did I say anything about you having a fiancée? And did I say anything about giving you a replacement to marry your childhood sweetheart on your behalf?"There wasn't a hint of fear as she looked into Sean's eyes. "I wasn't happy when you told me there was a chance you'd have to hold your childhood sweetheart's hand after returning to the Kingston family, but did I say anything about it?"She didn't back down despite sensing the chill coming from Sean.His voice was oddly calm as he said, "Didn't you stop yourself from saying anything because you don't love me like I love you?"Maybe she didn't even love him as much as she'd loved Ned."I disagre

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
