Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 49
Angeline dialed Zachary's number as soon as she left the airplane. "How's Anne?"Zachary didn't dare tell Angeline the truth. "She… She's still undergoing surgery."After hanging up the phone, Angeline didn't bother queuing up to get a taxi. She barged into someone else's ride before anyone could stop her.The driver originally wanted to force Angeline to go back in line, but when she told him the hospital's address with reddened eyes, he immediately drove to the destination. He even consoled her, "Is your loved one at the hospital, kid? Don't panic! We should reach the hospital in a jiffy. There's not a lot of cars on the road right now.""Okay," Angeline mumbled, her fingers turning white because of how hard they gripped her phone.Zachary awaited Angeline's arrival outside the hospital entrance with an umbrella in hand. He paced back and forth as he waited, repeatedly rehearsing how to break the news of Anne's death to Angeline later.But death was death. No matter how Zachary

"Anne… Anne!" Angeline croaked out softly, throat clogged with pain.Tears finally flowed freely from her eyes. "Anne!"Angeline clutched onto Anne's arm, crying. "You promised you'd make me beef stew and meatballs!"She didn't want Ned anymore. She really didn't want him anymore. She only wanted Anne to come back to life.Zachary's eyes reddened as he stood outside the morgue listening to Angeline sob her heart out. He rarely ever saw her cry when they grew up together. Angeline didn't even cry when she woke up from her coma only to hear that her beloved Ned had amnesia and lost his past memories. Angeline had only wiped her tears away and said she would make Ned regain his memories.She had never had such a terrible breakdown.Zachary had thought Angeline was as cold and distant as others said and that she was able to calmly deal with whatever obstacles she faced.Zachary waited outside the morgue for nearly two hours until the sounds of crying ceased from within. Only then

Zachary and Ingrid turned around."Angie!""A-Angie!"Both cried out at the same time.Angeline was extremely pale under the dim hallway light. She was staring fixedly at Ned with bloodshot eyes."You pushed Anne?" Her voice was deathly cold and raspy."Angie, Ned didn't mean to! Anne kept pushing Ned, wanting him to look at some photos so Ned just pushed her a little. We were on the sidewalk. None of us expected a car to swerve toward her!" Ingrid hurriedly explained to Angeline.Ingrid carefully held the latter's arm. "Ned immediately reached out to grab Anne when the car drove onto the sidewalk, but he didn't manage to do so in time. He fractured his arm in the process too. He never expected…"Angeline wasn't listening to anything Ingrid was saying. The only thing echoing in her mind was Ingrid's words from earlier that the car wouldn't have struck Anne if Ned hadn't pushed her.Despair and fury consumed Angeline. Tears poured from her eyes as she flung Ingrid's hand away a

"Leave! All of you!" Angeline cried, tears still falling down her cheeks. She was quivering as she glared hatefully at Ned, waving her arms. "Leave right now!"Sean turned to Ned. "Or do you need Mr. Fletcher Sr. to personally escort you?"The coldness in Sean's eyes persuaded Ned to leave. He wrapped an arm around Ingrid and left the floor with her. Before Ned entered the elevator, however, he shot one last look in Angeline's direction."Thank you for your help today. You should go back home and rest," Sean said to Zachary.Sean had gotten to know what had happened on his way here. It was Zachary who had helped handle Anne's affairs after her accident.Zachary gazed at Angeline who was being held up by Sean, unwilling to leave. But Taylor was already gesturing for Zachary to leave. "Mr. Stone…""Then please console Angie." Zachary figured Angeline might be more susceptible to Sean's words since they were related.Just before Zachary entered the elevator, he turned around to see
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 53
Sean hadn't slept the entire night, so exhaustion was clear on his face. His eyes were vaguely bloodshot too."How is Ms. Angeline?" Taylor asked. He had been working for Sean for so many years, so it was only natural that he knew about Angelina's affairs just as well as Sean did. This was the first time Taylor had seen Angelina in such a terrible state.Sean didn't answer the question. He returned the laptop to Taylor. "Good work. Get some rest or a bite to eat."After Sean gave James a call to inform him of what happened with Angeline, he went to take a shower in the guest room.When Angeline finally woke up from her dream, her eyes were incredibly swollen and her vision blurry.She seemed to have dreamt that Anne was gone.When Angeline saw that she was in Sean's master bedroom in his Oceanford villa, she realized Anne was gone for real.Angeline blinked quietly as tears fell from her eyes again. She quickly wiped them away and got off the bed, trying to find a pair of slippe

Two knocks.Angeline couldn't hold her tears back anymore. "I'm going to hang up first."Two more knocks.After hanging up the call, Angeline forced some food down.Taylor explained what had happened based on the surveillance footage outside the restaurant to Angeline at the table. He explained that Ned pushed Anne, but he did try to pull her back when the car swerved onto the sidewalk. His arm was fractured because of it.Taylor didn't want Angeline to watch the footage at first, but Angeline insisted.Anne was going up to Ned with some photographs in hand. The cameras didn't capture any audio, so Angeline didn't know what Anne was saying. It looked like she was pleading with Ned to look at the photos, however.Angeline's eyes grew reddened. She stopped watching the footage right when Ned reached out to pull Anne from being struck by the car. She then shut the laptop and covered her face with her hands, tears falling uncontrollably.Sean took the laptop away and set a warm gla

When Sean turned to look at Taylor, the latter switched his laptop off.Taylor withstood the overwhelming pressure he felt and said seriously, "You are no ordinary man, sir. Mr. Lawson Senior doesn't want you to cross paths with Ms. Angeline anymore, yet you still disobeyed his wishes countless times. "You even helped Fletcher Corporation for Ms. Angeline's sake. Mr. Lawson Senior is already incredibly displeased by all this. If you disobey his wishes in regards to your marriage, I'm worried you'll face hardship in taking over Lawson Global."What was more, Sean never revealed the pressure he was under when helping Angeline out. If Angeline was still married into the Fletcher family, she could still potentially help Sean out.Not only did Angeline not know just how much Sean had secretly helped her, there was no way she could help Sean out now that she had divorced Ned Fletcher."Leave." Sean's voice was icy.Taylor's lips pulled tight. He retreated from the study, knowing he wo

Henrietta couldn't accept that the kind-hearted Anne had passed away in a car accident. Anne had lived a hard life. She never got to watch Henrietta and Angeline succeed and live better lives. Anne never got to hear Henrietta speak or call her "Mom".Angeline closed her eyes, but her tears streamed uncontrollably down her face as she held Henrietta tightly. Early the next morning, Angeline took Henrietta to the funeral home to pay their last respects to Anne. They brought Anne's body back from Oceanford for this moment. Henrietta hadn't slept all night from crying. She looked exhausted, and her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't open them. However, she didn't want to worry Angeline. So, she forced herself to put on a strong front and keep her spirits up. Henrietta broke down at the sight of Anne's body. She felt the urge to rush over to hug Anne, but the staff stopped her.Anne didn't look as disheveled as she was that day. The staff had applied makeup to her. She looked

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
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 1056
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
