Eleanor turned pale as she became sober. Although she didn't belong among the top aristocrats in Krontos, she had heard about the adopted daughter of the Lawson family. Eleanor couldn't believe Rachel had framed her. If it weren't for Lenny and Ingrid revealing Angeline's identity, Eleanor would've continued assuming Angeline was Rachel's friend and continued to humiliate her. If Angeline were petty and chose to take revenge, the Carrey family would be done for. Eleanor's hatred for Rachel grew the more she thought about this. Eleanor's attitude quickly shifted as she backed away to make way and said, "I'm so sorry for misbehaving. It's only because Rachel said you're Sean's lover. Plus, I was a little drunk." "You should be glad it was me. Could you imagine what would happen if Rachel had framed you with someone else?" Angeline looked at Eleanor with a smirk. Rachel wasn't the only one who was good at sowing discord. Angeline chose not to argue with Eleanor, seeing how E
Since Ned had recovered his memory, he believed that Tommy was responsible for Henrietta's death. He felt that what Tommy was experiencing was his karma. Ingrid had no choice but to approach Angeline. Yet, Angeline had no intention of forgiving Tommy. Despite Angeline's unsympathetic reply, Ingrid couldn't bring herself to hate her. She also believed Tommy deserved to be punished for Henrietta's death. Nevertheless, Tommy had been suffering from the moment he entered prison and had since learned his lesson. Why wouldn't Angeline let Tommy go? Would Angeline move on only when Tommy died? Angeline returned from the washroom and bid farewell to Anthony. "If everything's settled, then I shall take my leave." "Why the hurry, Ms. Lawson?" Anthony enjoyed the lively vibe of parties. "Why not stay for a bit longer? I didn't see you drink today. Have you had one?" "My kids are waiting for me at home. I shouldn't drink," Angeline replied. "I'll leave the rest to Jamie and y
If Rachel failed to contact Nathaniel, her next move was to hope for the demise of the White family. That way, she could claim to her parents that the Hooper family would have never let them go, even when she had married an old bachelor. With that, her parents would find a way to set Nathaniel free, and then Rachel would have a second chance in life through Nathaniel's love for her. After all, given Jeremy's old age, Nathaniel would be the next successor of the Hooper family."I'll admit that you're smart. But too bad you used your wits at the wrong place!"Angeline gave Rachel a cold stare. "You've made a horrible move by threatening me with my kids. I've told you, Rachel. I'll never let anyone endanger my children." Rachel turned pale. She knew she had made a mistake. "Let me ask you a question. You're the bottom rung of the ladder in your family, where even a maid can walk all over you. How much worse do you think you'll be if I sweeten the deal with the White family?"
Danny carried on continuously, rambling incessantly—all to convince Angeline to participate in the next day's competition for him."You're springing this on me so suddenly. I might not have time tomorrow…" Angeline demurred."I already called Jamie. You have no client meetings tomorrow afternoon and will only be at the office!" Danny insisted.She was rendered speechless, regretting to have given him Jamie's number. He had come prepared."Boss, you have a secret lover now. Even Yasmine and Xavier already have a stepdad. But look at me! I'm still awfully single… and childless! Can you bear to watch my dear Heather being snatched away, leaving me alone and miserable for the rest of my life?"Danny began to play the pity card, adding, "I wouldn't bother you if it weren't life and death!"The games had been garnering attention, with everyone knowing that Danny, the head of Vitality Biotech Group Lonla Division, was going. If he didn't attend, the students participating would feel tha
"Stop… Stop nudging me!" said Eleanor to Aaron, keeping her head down.She looked through the reflection on the experimental equipment to ensure that her face was well-covered under her face mask. Then, she stood up and resumed her experiment."Hurry up! The competition is important!" Aaron urged. "This isn't like you. Aren't you usually eager to meet Vitality Biotech Group's founder? Why are you suddenly so scared?""Quiet! Stop spouting nonsense!"Eleanor carried on her tasks nervously, and only when Angeline left their station did she breathe a sigh of relief.When the games ended, Angeline looked at the results in her hand. Surprisingly, Eleanor's group came in first.During the award ceremony, the host announced that Vitality Biotech Group's founder would present the awards. Eleanor wished she could bury her head somewhere as her group stood on the stage."Eleanor, are you the group leader?" Angeline asked, smiling while handing the trophy to Eleanor.Eleanor's eyes were
Juliet nodded and said, "Alright! Thank you, miss! Let's hurry. We can't let that bitch get away."The female student sensed something amiss when she heard "bitch" being said but didn't dwell on it."Hold on, madam. The competition has already ended. If you're looking for a particular student, I can help you get in touch!" she offered eagerly.Upon hearing this, Katie stepped forward and said, "We're looking for Angeline Emmerson, the founder of Vitality Biotech Group, who came to present the awards! Can you take us to see her?"Someone just called us and said she was here at Krontos University."The student was stunned."I might not be able to help then. I'm not from the biology department, and… I don't know her. Maybe you could head over to the laboratory building and see if any award-winning students from the biology department have her contact information.""Mom, let's go!" Katie urged while holding onto Juliet to support her.The female student found it all rather odd as s
As she thought of a plan to corner Angeline, Juliet turned to her children and said, "Early tomorrow morning, Katie, you stay at the hospital to look after Benjamin. George and I will create a scene in front of the Vitality Biotech Group building."If Jodie doesn't pay for Benjamin's medical expenses and give him a kidney, I'll ruin her reputation!""Just causing a scene like that won't work. Last time, when we caused a scene at Lawson Global, the security dragged us away before we could even start. It was so embarrassing!" said George with a frown."And later, we were even warned by the police. If they hadn't seen that you're old, they would have detained us all, and none of us would be able to take care of Benjamin from jail!"Juliet retaliated, "If you're afraid of being humiliated, I will go alone. So what if it's the police? They'd have to release me anyway after seeing I'm an old lady! I'll just lie down in front of their building and let everyone see how the bitch is ignorin
Rachel ended the call with the Emmersons after speaking."What kind of people are the Emmersons?" she wondered.She had practically paved the way for them, like serving a meal on the platter, yet they were waiting for her to spoonfeed them.They refused to think before they acted and still expected Angeline to hand them money and even give away a kidney. Were they out of their minds?Rachel took a deep breath to calm herself down and pushed the Emmersons out of her mind, somewhat easing her emotions.Both Lawson Global and Vitality Biotech Group have become hot topics.Nathaniel had a subsidiary company that was working on a self-media livestreaming app, but it hadn't been launched yet. If George were willing to involve Lawson Global and Vitality Biotech Group in the livestream, Rachel was confident it would break the internet. It would also generate free publicity for Nathaniel's company.She thought Jeremy would be pleased once he lifted Nathaniel's curfew and learned that t
