Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 500
Angeline turned to look at their surroundings before she said in a low voice, "The others will see us.""They're all asleep by now." Sean steadied her chair. "Besides, if it's fine for us to come out on a drive like this, it'd be weird for you to be so far away from me when we're supposed to be looking at the same screen."The bonfire before them flickered, making Angeline's face seem redder than usual. He chuckled. "Or… were you thinking about something else?"She couldn't deny that her mind had gone elsewhere. They were suddenly so close to each other that she thought he was going to kiss her."I have no idea what you're talking about!" Angeline turned to look at the tablet as she sipped her water awkwardly. Then, she pulled out her phone, intending to reply to some emails while waiting for meteors.Initially, when Sean had proposed the trip, she honestly thought it would just be the two of them. She didn't even dare mention that she'd prepared condoms just in case.She should'

Angeline turned to look at Kieron after hearing what he'd said."I know Lara only asked me about it because she saw how Monica gained power in Scott Incorporated because of her identity as the Lawson family's heir's fiancée. That's why she also wants to be known as the Steele family's granddaughter-in-law." He looked troubled."She even said she'd sign a premarital agreement with me. She won't take a cent of the Steele family fortune, and she's even willing to compensate me once we're divorced. It's quite novel, having a woman tell me she'll compensate me."Sean never would've expected that two out of three Scott daughters would use their marriages as bargaining chips. Grace was the only one who was enough of a hopeless romantic to marry a regular individual who wasn't rich or that capable."Do you like Lara?" Sean asked.Kieron thought about it, then shook his head. "I wouldn't say that.'"You should forget about it, then." Sean continued, "If you fall for someone in the future,

Angeline opened the trunk. She'd just pulled out the wine and burner when she heard footsteps. She turned to see Rachel standing by the car."Still awake?" Angeline smiled at her."Nathaniel's mine," Rachel announced as she stared right into Angeline's eyes.Angeline was taken aback. Then, she laughed lightly. "So…""I don't care what Mr. Hooper Senior wants to see between you and Nathaniel. There's no way I'll let you become his wife.""'Let me?" Angeline noticed the hostility in Rachel's eyes. "I'm not interested in Nathaniel, nor will I get together with him. And as for being his wife… I couldn't be any less interested in it and don't want anything to do with it. I'm not your enemy."With that, she turned to leave."You'd better keep your word!" Rachel clenched her fists tightly as she shouted at Angeline's back. "If it turns out that you're lying to me, I'll make you pay for it! I'll maim your children!"Angeline stopped as the rage shot to her head. She turned to look at R

Angeline wondered if Rachel thought she was a pushover.Angeline didn't say anything else. She dragged Rachel out from between the two cars by her collar. Then, she called, "Nathaniel!"Sean and Kieron, who were by the bonfire, turned at her voice. They saw Angeline throw Rachel onto the pebbled ground. Kieron looked gobsmacked."Nathaniel Hooper!" Angeline called again.When Kieron saw Sean get up to head over to her, he threw the stick he'd used to push the fire logs around aside. Then, he hurried after Sean.Rachel's eyes bulged, for she hadn't expected Angeline to make a big deal out of this. "What the hell are you doing? Have you lost your mind?"She was nothing but a woman the Lawson family had adopted. She had to depend on the Lawson family to survive. How could she dare make a big deal out of this? Shouldn't she keep her head down and try not to cause trouble for the Lawsons?"Nathaniel!"Rachel scrambled to her feet, her chest heaving with anxiety. She reached out to s

Jesse's jaw dropped. He looked at how gentle and fragile Rachel seemed, and he found it hard to believe someone as ladylike as her would say something like that.Sean furrowed his brows tightly at the mention of the children. He didn't even bother looking at Rachel—she wasn't worth his time. "Nathaniel, you'd better explain this.""Angeline…" Nathaniel rubbed Rachel's back soothingly. "Is there some sort of misunderstanding here? Rachel wouldn't even swat a fly.""A misunderstanding?" Angeline laughed mirthlessly when she saw him standing up for Rachel. "Why don't you tell your dog to explain what exactly I've gotten wrong."Rachel gave Nathaniel a tearful look. "I just wanted to tell her to stay away from you and not to take you from me. You're mine! Then, she slapped me! She even dragged me out here by my collar! Look at my face…""Angeline, Rachel's still young. Maybe she just blurted out those things in the heat of the moment. She doesn't mean anything by it, so please, don't

When Nathaniel saw that Angeline was seriously pissed, he wrapped an arm tightly around Rachel's shoulders. "Angeline, could you just calm down for a second?"Danny was a night owl, so he answered Angeline's call almost immediately. "What's up, boss? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?""I want you to do a background check on a woman who's always hanging around Nathaniel Hooper. Her name's Rachel White. Yeah… What for? She said she wants to maim my children. What do you think this is about?" Angeline's voice was as cold as ice."What?" Danny almost exploded on the other end of the line. "I'm on it—leave this to me. I'll end her whole family!"Rachel turned to look at Angeline when she heard what Angeline had said. Only then did she start feeling scared. She held Nathaniel's sleeve tightly.Angeline looked at Nathaniel after hanging up. "I hope you'll stay out of this matter when I'm handling it, Mr. Hooper. I wouldn't mind letting Mr. Hooper Senior know about this o

"C'mon… Sean, this isn't your first time seeing Rachel. You know how cowardly she is! How could she possibly say anything about wanting to harm those kids?" Nathaniel was annoyed."Now, now. Everyone, calm down and listen to what I have to say." Kieron stepped forward to ease the tension. He looked at Nathaniel. "Firstly, we all know Angeline's not interested in you. Also… Angeline's just asked someone to do a background check on Rachel, which means she knows nothing about Rachel."Do you remember the incident about the Carrey sisters being disfigured? Think about the lengths you went to keep Rachel out of jail. Even Sean didn't know about that. You and I were the only ones who were aware."I swear on the Steele family's reputation that I've never shared that with a single soul. So… how did Angeline know about that?" Kieron turned to look at Rachel.He was right. Only Nathaniel, Rachel, and Kieron knew about the matter. If Kieron and Nathaniel hadn't said anything about it, who wou

"Go and rest in the car first," Sean said.He picked up the shawl that had fallen to the ground and shook it before draping it over Angeline's shoulders. Watching Angeline angrily enter the RV, he shifted his cold, indifferent gaze to Rachel. Startled, Rachel snuggled into Nathaniel's embrace.Jesse, who had been listening in, was so stunned that he couldn't collect himself.He understood that the elite circles of Krontos often treated human life as expendable. However, when he stood there and heard about the Carrey sisters' tragic fate, he couldn't help but feel a pang of empathy. After all, in terms of social status, Jesse's family was on par with the Carrey family.Although not as influential as the Hooper family, the Carrey family still held some sway in Krontos. Jesse couldn't believe that the family's twin daughters had been harmed by someone close to Nathaniel, yet they remained silent.Zion Carrey had aged considerably overnight. He refused to speak about it despite othe

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
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 1057
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
