"I don't want money! Angeline, I don't want money!" Ned choked, and his eyes were bloodshot. He breathed out deeply a few times before he finally managed to calm down. "You saved my life. Saving your daughter was just something I should have done."Sherryn looked at Ned, who was covering his face with his arm and trembling as he bit hard on his lower lip. She couldn't stand it. "Angeline! Stop right there!" Sherryn shouted. She walked over to the coffee table and picked up the check. "Are you using money to humiliate us? You're just a heartless ingrate! Ned saved your daughter, and you just want to fob us off with money." Angeline raised her eyebrows. "Don't you want it?""Since you're such a ruthless person, I don't want your money! Take it away!" Sherryn didn't even look at the check before handing it to Angeline."Are you sure you don't want it?" Angeline laughed coldly. "Look at the amount.""I won't want it no matter how much it is! Take your damn money and leave! I don'
The doctor had said that the bone in Ned's arm had broken completely, and it was his muscles that held his arm in place. Ned must have been in so much pain. Sherryn reckoned that Angeline knew very well how much Ned loved her.She also thought if Angeline had stayed to care for Ned, it would have made him feel a little better, but Angeline had still left.Sherryn wondered why such a ruthless woman existed in the world. … Danny was ready to face the financial strain, but then Angeline called to say that she hadn't managed to give the money. "What? Ned didn't want to take the money. Does he want you to devote yourself to him instead or something? How could he have the audacity to do that?" Danny furrowed his brows and sounded displeased. "You didn't manage to give him the money. He didn't blackmail you, did he? Remember that no one can force you to do something you don't want to!" Danny said. "When Ned was kidnapped and when he got into a car accident, I saved him. So he
Brayden saw that his subordinate, Arnold Dawson, had sent him many messages. He tapped on the chat and glanced at it, and his hand that was bringing the cup to his lips froze.Then, he tapped on the voice messages that Arnold had sent. "Mr. Green, I met Lenny at the hospital. Look what I managed to capture on my camera while I was talking to him! Lenny left us to be a bodyguard for some woman. I don't know if his girlfriend knows about it or not."Arnold had snapped a photo of someone's back. However, Brayden immediately recognized Angeline.He was surprised to know that Angeline had gone to the hospital.He closed the photo app and continued tapping on the voice messages from Arnold. "Man, I was just taking care of my father-in-law at the hospital, and Lenny's spent the entire afternoon outside the ward! I told him to have some water and rest, but he refused! I wonder who the person in the ward is and how they're related to Lenny's boss."I went to have a look. The name on
Brayden was questioning if Angeline knew that she still had a boyfriend for now and that she should keep appropriate boundaries.Lenny pursed his lips when he heard that, not knowing what to say.On the one hand, Angeline had told him not to say anything. On the other, Brayden had misunderstood Angeline.Brayden was furious. "Are you mute? Say something! What is Angeline doing over there with Ned? Does she know that he's her ex-husband? Doesn't she remember how Ned treated her? Why is she going to him when he gets admitted to the hospital? Doesn't she have any dignity?""Mr. Green!" Lenny's temper flared at once. "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know what's going on! Mr. Fletcher's arm was broken while saving Ms. Angeline's daughter, which is why she went to the hospital to take care of him. What's wrong with that? Besides, Ms. Angeline called Mr. Lawson, but he didn't pick up! When she called you, you hung up without letting her finish!" Lenny explained. Brayden was stunned.
Sean seemed to care about the kids a lot. Brayden hoped that Angeline could keep her word and not let things get complicated. If Sean found out that Brayden had been the cause of a delay in this incident, he would surely beat Brayden up.Brayden looked grim as he flicked on the car signal lights.The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He wanted to know if Ned had done this on purpose, so he made a call."Can you go to the police station and ask what's going on with the kidnapping of the Lawsons' adopted daughter's child? Find out how the investigation is going!" Brayden requested. "Huh? Why are you suddenly asking about this?""No reason! Just ask! If there's anything the police need my help with, then let me know," Brayden said. "I know what you're talking about. Mr. Lawson Senior is pressuring the higher-ups and saying that this incident must be investigated thoroughly. The people related to that female kidnapper must be captured, too! "Do you know which kinder
Angeline sat at the dining table with the coffee in her hands. "Sure! I'll start planning once I'm back in office." Angeline smiled. "With this, our employees won't have to worry about schools and dormitories. This might be an amazing idea!" Angeline heard the door open and thought Lucy had forgotten something. She turned and saw Sean taking off his coat. Clenching her phone, Angeline looked down and said to Asher, "Well, Mr. Millstone, please remind Granddad to take his medicine. I'll head to the office soon. Talk to you later." "Okay, bye," Asher replied. After hanging up the phone, Sean had gone into the washroom to wash his hands after placing his coat on the couch. Angeline recomposed herself and sipped her coffee. Then, she checked her phone to reply to the accumulated messages. Sean pulled the chair to sit beside Angeline. "Didn't you tell Lucy you'll be back early today? She just prepared my meal," Angeline asked while replying to her messages. "Should I order y
"Alright." Angeline nodded. Although Angeline was fine, there was something off between her and Sean. Sean leaned down to kiss Angeline while cradling her face. But Angeline held his wrist and turned her head to avoid him. "We should eat. You're not going to stop once we start kissing." After letting go of Sean's wrist, Angeline was about to pass him when Sean pulled her by her wrist. "Don't you miss me?"Angeline's phone rang again. She broke free from Sean's grasp and answered the phone, "Hello?" "Hey, Angie. It's me, Sherryn." Sherryn sobbed, "Ned's fever hasn't gone down, and he keeps calling your name. Can you come over to visit him?" Angeline remained silent. "Please, Angie! I know I went too far yesterday! It was because Ned kept speaking up for you." Sherryn bawled, "Please, Angie! Don't be so cruel. He got hospitalized because he tried to save your daughter!" "Alright. I'll come over now," Angeline replied. Angeline looked at Sean after hanging up the phone. B
Barry was infuriated. "How am I supposed to know Ned got into an accident?" "Just think about it yourself! Why would I call you if it isn't something urgent? Have I ever called you this urgently? I've called you hundreds of times like I'm crazy just to tell you our son is in trouble!"I contacted your assistant after failing to call you, but do you know what he said? You're on vacation with your mistress, on a honeymoon! Ned is in a life-or-death situation, yet you're enjoying your honeymoon? "Your stupid assistant even told me to stop harassing you since we've divorced! What is he trying to say? You'd better fire that useless assistant right now!" Sherryn yelled. "I'm the one who told him not to disturb me if anyone called! He's just following my orders. Why are you mad at him?" Barry raised his voice. "Ned was already hospitalized. What do you expect me to do? Get hospitalized in his place? "All you know is doing pointless things. Couldn't you have sent me a message if I did
