"If we can't suppress the news and they really want to publish the scandal, ask the PR department to tell DramaTrauma Press not to publish fake news. Otherwise, we reserve the right to pursue legal action," Angeline said. "Okay, Ms. Lawson!" Jamie replied before hanging up. Angeline looked toward Sean, who just returned from the phone call at the balcony, and asked, "Is it about Ned, too?" "Yup. I've asked the PR department to suppress it as much as they could. And if they can't, share a post on Twitter to thank Ingrid and Ned for saving Yasmine," Sean replied. "Also, urge the police to crack the case as soon as possible. After all, the police have the strongest credibility." Angeline put her phone by the side and massaged her temples. "And here I thought I could stop getting involved with Ned. I guess I'll have to give him a well-publicized thank now." Sean sat beside Angeline and put down his phone. He looked at her with his deep-set eyes before pulling and placing her on h
"Here's my advice, Ms. Angeline," Asher said. "Once the news gets out, I'm sure all the public's attention will be on whether Yasmine is Mr. Fletcher's daughter and if you two will reconcile because of her. "Plus, a highly topical actress like Ms. Dalton is also involved in this scandal. You'll be expecting gossip once the news gets out! People will probably try to guess who Yasmine's father is." Asher continued, "While our PR department can suppress the news, no one knows if it might get leaked one day. What if the public thinks you're trying to reconcile with Mr. Fletcher through Yasmine? After all, your relationship with Mr. Fletcher was one the talk of all Oceanford."So, I recommend that we be prepared for the worst. People would think twice about the scandal if you were dating Mr. Hooper. While Mr. Hooper is a divorcee, he's a better candidate for a groom than Mr. Fletcher. Plus, why would you reconcile with Mr. Fletcher when you're seeing Mr. Hooper?" Asher gave Angeline
"Granddad arranged for me to have dinner with Mr. Hooper tonight. They're worried people might gossip about me, Ned, and Ingrid if the PR department failed to suppress the news," Angeline explained, worrying that Sean might be uncomfortable. "After all, we have an international star, a bankrupted toff, and his ex-wife as the headliners. Think about the stories they could tell! Besides, I can't tell them you're Yasmine's father if they started talking about her parentage. So, Mr. Millstone wanted to use Mr. Hooper as a smokescreen," Angeline added. "I understand," Sean said before kissing Angeline deeply. Angeline moaned and tried pushing Sean away. But he grabbed her hand with one hand and cradled her head with another before leaning in for another deep kiss. The kiss was as aggressive as last night's as if he was trying to swallow her lips. Sean stopped and let go of Angeline before sucking hard on her lips just as Angeline was about to suffocate. "I have nothing to worry ab
"Help yourself with the drinks in the fridge. I'll go get changed," Angeline said. "I don't mean anything about the bouquet. Grandpa told me to bring it. He said someone would be filming us, so it was just for the act," Nathaniel explained. "Should I arrange the flowers for you? You can take your time. No rush." "Sure, thanks!" Angeline quickly got changed in the dressing room. Nathaniel took his coat off and unwrapped the bouquet. He trimmed the flowers and arranged them in the vase while humming a song. Women usually took a long time to get changed and put on make-up. Hence, Nathaniel thought it'd be better to arrange the flowers instead of foolishly waiting on the couch. At least he had something to do, and Angeline wouldn't feel pressured. Unexpectedly, Angeline got changed very quickly, as he had only arranged two flowers when Angeline came out of the dressing room. Angeline put her long hair down. She wore a champagne, pleated dress with a white silk jacket. She clu
Although Nathaniel was the same age as Sean, he behaved like a child and had always been curious. "Everyone has their secret, Mr. Hooper." Angeline walked toward Nathaniel's flamboyant, yellow sports car while holding onto his arm. Nathaniel smiled while opening the car door courteously for Angeline. "You're right. I shall stop asking, then." After Nathaniel entered the car, he thoughtfully helped Angeline buckle her seatbelt. "It's okay. I got this," Angeline said."My grandpa said if we act intimately, it's more unlikely for the paparazzi to say that you've intervened in your ex-husband's new relationship even when you two were divorced." Nathaniel put on his seat belt. With one hand on the steering wheel, he stepped on the gas pedal and drove off. On the way, Angeline asked, "Are you this collaborative because of Rachel?" Angeline supposed that Nathaniel had only agreed to put on this act for Rachel's sake. "Not necessarily. After all, I was the one who brought Rachel
Amidst the night lights of bustling cities and busy roads, Nathaniel looked extra childish while putting on a stoic expression. "I'm sorry, Mr. Hooper. How old are you?" Angeline raised a brow. "What? Are you trying to cheat even when you've won?" Nathaniel mocked. Angeline was speechless, but she still locked her pinky finger with Nathaniel's and sealed them with a thumb stamp. Nathaniel was finally satisfied."Alright! Rachel will be out of my life from now on!" Nathaniel said with a smile. Despite his love for Rachel, Nathaniel would tolerate anything about her except her stupidity. Nathaniel didn't tell Angeline that she was also one of the candidates for his bride in the future. This was because he didn't dislike Angeline and knew exactly how outstanding she was. Jeremy also had an eye on her, not only because of her ability but also because of her value of love and loyalty. Despite Angeline's past relationship with Ned, Angeline had protected Ned during the car a
Angeline could tell the wine was strong, as she felt tipsy after drinking two glasses. "You can't handle alcohol well, can you?" Nathaniel asked, "Should I send you to your door?" "It's okay. I'm not that drunk," Angeline replied. The elevator arrived at Nathaniel's floor. Angeline waved her hand to signal Nathaniel out of the elevator. As soon as the elevator door closed, Angeline, who had been standing straight, leaned weakly against the elevator wall. She took her jacket off, held it on her arm, and exited the elevator before scanning the face recognition to enter her house. After kicking her heels off at the entrance, Angeline entered her house while holding against the wall with her head down and saw two slender legs wrapped in a pair of trousers. She looked up and saw Sean, who had also just returned and was standing at the entrance. Sean got home about 30 seconds ago, so he hadn't even taken his necktie off. "Did you drink?" Sean walked forward to help Angeline a
Angeline grabbed Sean's necktie as he was about to get up. With one leg kneeling on the bed, Sean was forced to bend over. He held Angeline's hand on his necktie and moved them toward his lips before kissing her fingers. "You're drunk, so you should get some rest. I'll take a shower and get changed.""Sean…" Angeline called and touched Sean's face with her other hand. "Why are you so handsome?" Sean's eyes were focused on Angeline, who looked silly in her drunken state. He held her hand, which was caressing his face and lips, before kissing it. "I'll be quick. You should sleep first. Stop fooling around, okay?" Sean sounded calm. "Your voice sounds great, too." Angeline giggled. "Such a wonderful man is mine." Sean looked at Angeline with a bit of resignation. "Yes, yes. I'm yours." "Sean…" Angeline called again. "You're using the wrong form of address." Sean grabbed Angeline's hand and bit her thumb. "Ouch!" Angeline whimpered like a kitten. "That's the wrong form o
