Eleanor had a few drinks.

As she sized Angeline up, she said drunkenly, "You look fairly pretty—definitely better than Rachel. How much did Sean pay you each month?

"Rachel said you're with Sean. How often do you have to sleep with him to obtain an invitation to this party for the upper classes?"

"How about you then? How many people did you sleep with to get your invitation?" Angeline rebuked while wiping her hands.

"What? How dare you!"

Eleanor was enraged.

"What are you doing here, Ms. Carrey? I told you to control yourself with the drinks. You have a match tomorrow!"

As Aaron walked toward Eleanor, he noticed Angeline.

"Isn't this Rachel's friend? Why are you harassing her, Ms. Carrey? Just let her go. Although they are birds of a feather, Rachel is the one who framed your cousins. It wasn't her.

"Don't waste your time arguing with a mistress. Besides, the Scott family will deal with her when they learn about her. Don't bother. Let's go."

    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

    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
