Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 629
Sean knew he couldn't lie his way through this, so he headed somewhere where he would be alone. He said in a low voice, "I got into a minor accident, but I'm fine, so don't worry. I just grazed my forehead."I had Taylor keep the news under wraps. I can't have anyone hearing about this. That's why I won't be attending the conference with you tonight."Sean feared Angeline would be worried about him when she learned about the accident from Taylor. He was also afraid she would be mad at him if he were to keep the accident from her. That was why he called to inform her beforehand.He could imagine the look on her face. He smiled at the thought and continued, "My injury has already been attended to. The results of my checkup will be out in 20 minutes. If everything's okay, I'll head home and wait for you there. You'll see I'm fine when you get home, so don't worry."Angeline felt a little more at ease when she heard this. "I'll be home earlier tonight, then. Send me a copy of the r

Suppressing news of the accident was also a way to prevent others from linking "Sean's" accidents and eventual death to the Lawson family and to the fight for Lawson Global's ownership."You should've used this accident to escape the Lawsons, Shane." Brayden lowered his voice. "You might not have expected this to happen, but it would've made much more sense, with Dexter being the reason behind it. There's still time to twist this around. All you need to do is transfer to our hospital."The thought had crossed Sean's mind, but he still had matters to attend to before leaving."There's no need to rush," he said. "We can still let Dexter know that his subordinates crashed into Sean Lawson of Lawson Global."He decided this after some thought. Sean had arranged for the substitute to show up here and there over the years since he first showed his face on TV. It was all to fool the Kingstons into thinking that Sean and Shane resembled one another."I'll get on it," Brayden said.

Sandra hurriedly handed Sean her phone. Sean entered Taylor's number and saved it before returning it to her. "A carer will be here soon…"Sandra retrieved the phone and lowered her head. Before Sean could say anything more, she said, "I-I don't have money to hire a carer.""You don't have to worry about money. The hospital stay and the surgery bill have already been taken care of, and my assistant will deal with all other expenses related to your mother's aftercare. Relax."Sean glanced inside the hospital room. "Once your mother wakes up, the police might need her assistance investigating the accident. I hope she'll work with them as best as she can.""Yes, of course! I'll speak to her about it." Sandra nodded.She watched as Sean and Sebastian left. Then, she rubbed her eyes as her heart raced. She turned back to glance at Marilyn. She wondered if Marilyn had saved someone important. She thought Sean looked somewhat familiar.…Sean had reviewed the general agenda of

"That's a great joke, Mr. Harrison," Hiram said while chuckling.Angeline smiled and said, "I take it this means Steele Group has big plans for the upcoming year, Mr. Steele Senior, seeing as you're inviting both the Scotts and Hoopers to have a piece of the pie. I suppose congratulations are in order! By the way, did Steele Group meet its goals for last year?"Harrison's expression turned sour. Evidently, Steele Group's achievements had fallen short of its targets last year."I'm six years younger than your grandfather, but at least we're from the same generation. Don't you think it's rude of you to speak to me like you're my elder, Ms. Lawson?" Harrison mocked. "I suppose things just aren't the same when Robert's blood doesn't run in your veins."Angeline was worried about Sean, so she hadn't been in the best mood before attending the conference. Harrison's mockery and provocation only made things worse. She didn't want to accept his behavior, but she forced herself to smile an

Angeline laughed, looking unaffected. "Granddad didn't tell me this would turn into a blind date! Mr. Hooper's apartment is right beneath mine now, so we have plenty of time to chat."She paused, then continued, "It seems that you're not interested in discussing if Steele Group had met its targets for last year and its plans for the upcoming year, Mr. Steele Senior."Fortunately, Lawson Global has met Mr. Lawson's lofty targets for the previous year. It's not something that we really need to brag about, though.""That sounds rather boastful, Ms. Lawson," Harrison forced through gritted teeth.Hiram hurriedly tried to ease the tension. "This is Ms. Lawson's first time attending this conference, so we're all unfamiliar with each other. I'm sure you'll see what she's capable of once you get to know her better, Mr. Harrison. How about we get down to business?""How am I boastful when I'm simply telling the truth?" Angeline's smile remained in place as she looked at Harrison, who

The younger members of the four most prominent families and the companies' senior executives were seated several tables away from the main table. Despite the distance, they all turned to look at the main table when Angeline stood up."What's the point of us gathering here, then? I don't think it's necessary for any of us at Lawson Global to attend this conference next year. Count us out," Angeline said.She turned to Nelson and Hiram. "Aside from the project we're already working on with Scott Incorporated, Lawson Global has four more critical projects lined up for next year. Mr. Lawson and I will meet with you at some other time to discuss the details."Then, she grabbed her bag and turned to leave, making it clear that she wasn't interested in playing games with them.Taylor, who was seated at the table designated for assistants, broke out in a cold sweat. He ran after her.He wondered about what was going on. Before attending the conference, he'd repeatedly reminded Angeline

After leaving the hotel, Angeline bid farewell to the senior executives who'd followed after her. Then, she got into the car and left.The senior executives got into their cars and immediately started making and receiving calls and texts from each other. They were all pressed to learn the reason why Angeline had up and left the conference just like that.Angeline called Asher after getting into the car. She gave him a quick rundown of the events that transpired. "I didn't think there was much point in remaining there, so I left."More importantly, she felt she had to clarify her position at her first meeting with the heads of Krontos' three other most prominent families.If she took Harrison's insults in stride and allowed him to push her around, everyone would take advantage of her in future business dealings.On the contrary, if she gave them the impression that she could storm out of a discussion if someone upset her, her prospective business partners would have to tread ligh

If Angeline had literally flipped the table on Harrison, who knew what would've become of her reputation? She would eventually become the leader of Lawson Global, after all.Her plan to have Robert invite only the Scotts and Hoopers over would already be enough to tell the Steele family that things would change, whether in terms of the conference or the four prominent families' status in Krontos.As Angeline had mentioned over the phone, there would always be more money to make. Friends and enemies wouldn't remain that way forever.Krontos' four most prominent families had only banded together to ensure they would always be at the top of the pyramid. It was a strategy to prevent any newcomers from overtaking them. It was also a way to keep the difference in social status clear."You've always been good at making things sound better than they are!" Robert stomped his walking cane. "Well, you've convinced me. Once the conference is over, call Nelson and Hiram for me. I'll invite

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
