Hearing that, Rachel became flustered.

Nathaniel's hand clenched into a tight fist. "Mandy asked me to take good care of Rachel before she passed away. I have to protect her."

Despite Nathaniel's resolve, he wasn't the head of the Hooper Group yet. Sean, on the other hand, held real power at Lawson Global. Rachel was keenly aware of this.

Rachel had believed that Sean and Angeline were just like the rumors, fighting tooth and nail for inheritance rights and that Sean would never support Angeline. After all, this road trip was Robert's idea, and Nathaniel and the others were likely compelled to join by Robert's insistence. Little did she expect that Sean would fiercely defend Angeline and her two kids.

"Nathaniel!" Rachel looked up at Nathaniel with fear in her eyes.

Seeing Nathaniel silent, she then turned to Sean. "Mr. Lawson, it's because I love Nathaniel so much that I spoke harshly to Ms. Lawson, trying to intimidate her not to compete with me for Nathaniel. It was just talk,

    After watching Nathaniel and Rachel's car drive away, Kieron glanced back at the RV from the Lawson family that followed and then shifted his gaze to Lara's tent.Overwhelmed with his own affairs at the moment, Kieron couldn't afford to spare any thought on what would become of Nathaniel and Rachel next. However, out of their friendship, he decided to send Nathaniel a text.Kieron: "Sean's judgment has always been sharp. You should investigate Rachel. Don't simply trust everything she says."Nathaniel, who was driving, frowned as Kieron's message popped up.Sitting in the passenger seat, Rachel also noticed the message. She clasped her hands tightly around the seatbelt across her chest. "Nate, you have to trust me!"Suddenly, Nathaniel jerked the steering wheel and pulled the car over to the roadside. He reached out and held Rachel's face, forcing her to look at him.He asked, "Rachel, tell me the truth. Did you intentionally disfigure the Carrey sisters? Did you tell Angie you w

    Nathaniel impatiently retrieved a pack of cigarettes from the console, pulling out one and biting it between his lips. His hands trembled with frustration as he attempted to strike the lighter several times without success.Seeing that, Rachel swiftly reached out, took the lighter, and lit it for him.Nathaniel turned to gaze at Rachel. Tears still lingered on her face as she held up the lighter and choked back her sobs. Feeling agitated, he tossed the cigarette out of the window. The next moment, he snatched the lighter from her and threw it out as well. Without another word, he started the car.Nathaniel had made up his mind. After this trip back, he wouldn't see Rachel again. He needed to figure out what he truly felt for her.As Sean had pointed out, many people liked Nathaniel, but he had never gone this far for others.Previously, Nathaniel had believed it was because of his connection with Mandy that he was extra caring toward Rachel. However, it was evident that what he wa

    "Wouldn't it cause too much commotion if we ditched the others and left?" During her conversation with Sean, Angeline's initial anger gradually dissipated, and her tone grew more gentle. "Do you think Kieron and Lara will feel offended? Also, Jesse and Ewan were arranged by Granddad...""Forget about them! Let's just focus on ourselves!" Sean replied.As dawn approached the next day, Jesse was awakened by the noise of engines starting. He rolled over and went back to sleep. He had been driving all day the day before and was exhausted.When Kieron emerged from his tent, he saw the empty campsite... Sean's car, along with the RVs, MPVs, and SUVs that Robert had sent to protect the two kids, were all gone. He was left dumbfounded."What's going on?" Lara emerged from her tent, and she looked utterly perplexed. "Where's the RV? And where are Sean and Angeline?""Holy crap! Are they going back already?" Kieron hastily pulled out his phone and called Sean.When Sean answered the call,

    Angeline sneakily glanced at Sean's expression and responded, "Sure!"After hanging up the phone, she turned to look at the two kids, who were engrossed in watching, and said, "You two, don't watch for too long. You can only watch for 20 minutes! Otherwise, it's bad for your eyes.""Right. We'll take them to the valley near Krontos next time. Getting close to nature surely won't strain their eyes." Sean smiled as he looked ahead.Angeline was rendered speechless.Following the original plan, Sean arrived at Esteridge Scenic Spot with Angeline and the two kids after watching the sunrise in the morning. Around nine in the morning, he parked the car by the side and took Angeline and the kids to play by the lake.The two little ones were overjoyed. Holding Angeline's hand, Yasmine asked, "Mommy, is this the ocean?"Xavier took the opportunity to enlighten Yasmine, saying, "This is a lake. It's the largest freshwater lake in our country!"Angeline and Sean each rode a white horse wit

    "Alright. I got it!" At that moment, Robert had already removed Nathaniel from his list of potential sons-in-law."You don't need to fret. Dealing with such ignorant and overly confident people is simple. I'll just give Jeremy a call.""Granddad, please don't call him. Don't ruin your relationship with Mr. Hooper Senior because of something like this. I've already asked Danny to handle it.""Asking someone from the Vitality Biotech Group to handle it is already giving him too much credit!" Robert said with a deep voice, "The Hooper family ought to handle their family matters on their own. Enough of this. Take the kids out to play." With that, Robert hung up and angrily made a call to the Hooper family. He even demanded a compensation fee for Xavier and Yasmine. With Robert's call, Nathaniel would undoubtedly face a good scolding when he got back.Ending the call, Robert looked at the picture that Yasmine had sent over and clicked on her voice message."Mr. Lawson Senior, isn't

    When Angeline returned and sat down by the heater, Sean passed her a cup of mulled wine."Thanks!" Angeline took a sip, savoring the fruity flavors of the mulled wine that Sean boiled. Just as she was about to compliment him, her phone in her pocket began to vibrate.Noticing that the call was from Nathaniel, Angeline planned to just ignore it. However, seeing as how he persistently called numerous times, she had no choice but to answer, "What is it?""Angeline…" Nathaniel's voice softened. "Sean blocked me."Angeline glanced at Sean, who was leaning lazily against the camping chair and sipping on his mulled wine. She asked, "So you called me because you're looking for him?""I wanted to apologize on behalf of Rachel. She's still young…""She's 20 years old? Nathaniel, if you really like Rachel then just stay committed to her. Don't leave her hanging while still accepting the blind dates your family arranged for you! "Instead of getting mad at you for going on these blind dates

    Rachel was pushing Angeline's buttons. For that, she deserved to be taught a lesson.Therefore, Nathaniel could only leave this matter for the time being. Once everything settled down, he would then help Rachel and try to lessen her plight."I won't butt into Rachel's affairs anymore. Can you ask Sean to unblock me, please?" Nathaniel pleaded."Nathaniel, I've realized that you really have no shame. We already severed ties yesterday. The reason why Sean blocked you was because you unjustly tried to protect the person who wants to harm our children! "Now you're asking me to have him unblock you? Do you think I'm some pushover?" Despite her harsh words, Angeline's tone had softened tremendously."I'm sorry! I already know my mistakes! Please ask him to unblock me! Hooper Group has some cooperation matters to discuss with him. Sean wasn't such an unprofessional person before. Is it true that people who have kids all act this way?" Nathaniel sighed.While Nathaniel didn't mean it th

    With that, Sean carried Angeline onto another RV and set her down on the couch.The nanny was still in the other RV, so Sean pretended to search for a first aid kid and then proceeded to remove Angeline's shoes and socks to examine her.Seeing the bodyguards approaching, Angeline nervously gripped the edge of the couch. This was so awkward. She wondered how Sean managed to appear so natural.The bodyguard stood by the door and asked Sean, "Mr. Lawson, do you need help? Or would you like to head to the hospital?"Angeline pursed her lips, deciding to remain silent."No need. She probably just grazed her feet against the rocks. Applying some ointment would do. There's some in the first aid kid," Sean said as he placed the ointment to the side. He then removed his jacket, rolled up his sleeve, and boldly said to the bodyguard, "I can take care of it. You may leave. Don't forget to shut the door on your way out." "Yes, Mr. Lawson!" The bodyguard said and kindly shut the door for t

    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
