Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 59
Ned smiled and playfully teased Ingrid as usual, "It still hurts! If you come to visit me, the pain will go away."Ingrid chuckled at his playful banter. "It sounds like you're fine! I'll see you after I complete my shoot in the next few days." "Since you're not coming, I'll make time to visit you on the set!" Ned's voice was full of tenderness. On the other end of the phone, Ingrid hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ned, if you're still willing, let's get married after I finish filming this movie!" She added, "The car accident involving Angie's adoptive mother really shook me. I was honestly so scared when I watched the video. I was afraid that you might've been hit by the car!" Ingrid's voice choked up. Her whole body trembled when she watched the video. Although the way she thought about Anne's passing was very inappropriate, she genuinely felt relieved that it wasn't Ned who was hit by the car. Ned felt a pang of heartache upon hearing her choked-up voice. "Bab

Ingrid was surprised. She wondered why they were coming for Ned. She didn't think it made sense. The Fletcher family was indeed famous in Oceanford. However, they had no connection to a world-class luxury branded company like Norwalk Corp. Linda was curious. "Be honest with me. Did you know Simon was the second son of the Norwalk family when you saved him?"Ingrid was bewildered. "What? Did I save him? I don't even know who he is!"Ingrid seemed to recall something as soon as she said that. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She had a suspicion, but she was reluctant to bring it up. "He mentioned he was looking for Ned's girlfriend, so maybe… he knows Ned? I'll call Ned later to ask him about it.""No!" Linda frowned. She continued, "Simon knew I was your manager and asked me to thank you on his behalf. He said you saved him in Ica seven years ago without leaving your name. "Before he passed out, he saw your boyfriend stop you from giving him CPR and pull you up. Yo

In the lab, James removed his rubber gloves. "I've been invited to attend a conference for about half a month next March. I need to bring two people with me." He continued, "Aside from Reese staying behind to monitor the experiments, you may choose two people among yourselves. Submit your selection after the New Year. Also, there's something else I need to tell you…"James informed the students in the lab about Anne's passing, asking them to keep an eye out for Angeline when she returned. …In the afternoon, Reese, Marion, and Alva called Angeline. Upon learning that Angeline would be taking her sister to live in Cloudsville, Marion immediately volunteered to help her find a school for Henrietta. "My uncle's the dean of Cloudsville High School, and it's close to our college. Leave this matter to me! Don't worry!"After taking on the responsibility, Marion hesitated and added, "Angie, about… the things online, don't take them too seriously. The professor has already informe

Angeline placed her keys on the shoe cabinet and glanced at her watch. It was only 4:25 pm. Henrietta's school was still ongoing.After changing her shoes and putting away the groceries in the kitchen, she walked to Henrietta's room door. She knocked on the door and asked, "Henrietta, why are you back so early today?"Three consecutive knocks on the other side of the door came in response.That was a signal for Angeline to wait. Angeline lowered her gaze and looked from the water stains on the floor to the slippers leading to the bathroom. Frowning, she recalled the bruises on Henrietta's wrist from that day. A terrifying thought crossed her mind—school bullying. Angeline bit her lip as she stood at the door of Henrietta's room, her mind swirling in turmoil. Eventually, she returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner.After changing her clothes and drying her hair, Henrietta came out of her room and jogged to the kitchen. Seeing Angeline wash the vegetables, she stepped forward

Angeline clenched her fists. "I haven't thought about it yet."Robert frowned. "Sean has been implicated by the rumors spreading online and your reputation. Do you want our family to be dragged into this mess too?"Angeline said, "It never crossed my mind…""We've always portrayed you as Sean's relative to protect my daughter. That's it." Robert finally turned to look at Angeline. His eyes were sharp and full of wisdom. He continued, "Sean's abundant support for you might raise some speculations. So I hope you'll stop contacting him and keep away from our family."Angeline's mouth parted as she tried to explain, but she held back. "Okay, I understand. You can rest assured that I won't anymore."Sean may have volunteered to help her, but she was the one who accepted his offer. She couldn't deny it. Even if Robert hadn't approached her today, she wouldn't have had the courage to see Sean again after what transpired between them that night. Seeing her tact, Robert didn't

Angeline's classmates arrived at the restaurant at 7:30 pm. After learning that they were to be seated in a private room, Marion turned and suggested, "Shall we take a table in the dining area instead? The second half of The Family Search will be aired tonight!"Alva quickly tugged at Marion's hand. Her action brought the image of the young and innocent Henrietta standing beside Angeline to Marion's mind. Her eyes were crystal clear and full of innocence. Marion immediately realized that the guest tonight was Angeline and Henrietta's deceased adoptive mother. Alva was concerned about Henrietta's feelings. Realizing her insensitivity, Marion smiled apologetically at Angeline and cleared her throat. "Which private room is it?"Henrietta tugged at Angeline's hand and gestured: "Angeline, I want to watch it. Mom was on the show."Despite her faint smile, her eyes were already teary. Smiling, Angeline stroked Henrietta's head. "Let's eat at the dining area if there's room. He

Before the show, the Emmersons had discussed the plan. During the program, they had to reveal Angeline's name and school and spread blue rumors about her to disgrace her in front of everyone. Their intended result was that Angeline would be forced to leave Oceanford and obediently return to Emmerson Village with them. Destroying a girl's reputation was as simple as spreading scandalous gossip. The gossipmonger only needed a single sentence to spread the rumor. However, the victim might invest all their time and energy to prove their innocence, to no avail. Even if the truth came to light, people would quickly move on with a simple apology from the gossipmonger. Moreover, Ned spread the photos of Angeline. Juliet sat on the ground, slapping her thigh and wailing. "Jodie was such a good girl when she left. What has she become? She used to be a good student at Oceanford College, but now she's nothing but a cheap plaything! "She was fooling around with men in the school, and he

After Benjamin finished speaking, the screen displayed a person's medical report from when the Lawsons conflicted with the Emmersons. Pictures of the victim's injuries were also shown without revealing their face. The wounds looked terrible. "When my birth mother escaped Emmerson Village, Mr. Lawson Senior told the hospital to provide this medical report of her." Angeline marked out the important sections of the report with a red pen. "There are many visible injuries here and 28 bone fractures in her body. Moreover, a small part of her skull was missing due to an external injury."The police took this picture. It was where the Emmersons kept my mother captive." Angeline then looked at the screen again. The slides had been changed. It projected a humid basement that was documented by the police when they investigated the case back then. There was a bed soaked in blood. Scratch marks made by Angeline's mother all over the metal chains and the wall could also be observed. It

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
