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

"Got it." Angeline took the container from Danny. "Thanks for this.""I don't see any injuries on you, though." He circled her."It's not for me." Danny didn't look like he was leaving any time soon, so Angeline said, "I won't invite you up. You can go home now.""What? No way! You can't be so cruel, boss! I came all the way here from the lab to bring this to you. Can't I even go up for a drink of water?" Danny widened his eyes. Then, they narrowed when something occurred to him. "Are you hiding a man up there?""As if." Angeline rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave.Danny followed her, asking cheekily, "You need this ointment for that man you're hiding in your apartment, don't you? C'mon, boss. We're good friends, aren't we? If you're dating someone, I need to give him my seal of approval!""Thanks, but no thanks." Angeline walked to the car. Lenny opened the door for her. Before getting in, she smiled at Danny and said, "I'll put in a good word for you w

Angeline looked at Sean with a hint of confusion. "That was your best opportunity to be free of the Lawson family. Why didn't you leave? Was it because you were worried about me? Or was it because of Lawson Global?""It's also because I told Mr. Lawson Senior I'd delay my return by another year. I want to wait until Lawson Global has steadied itself. There's still time before I need to go," Sean explained.He was worried Angeline would be in a challenging position if he were to leave without preparing Lawson Global as best as he could. If something were to happen to him so soon after Helen had been taken down, everyone would think Angeline had gotten rid of them because of their fight for the inheritance.Sean had decided against leaving at this juncture after considering the entire situation.Angeline fell deep into thought for a moment before pursing her lips and saying, "You should ask Brayden to come up here. I don't think you should delay this any longer. Take this opportuni

Sean felt conflicted, too. On one hand, he wanted Angeline to ask him to stay. On the other hand, he knew he couldn't give up on avenging his parents.He knew he was being unreasonable by forcing Angeline to prove her love for him like this. Perhaps it was because he simply wasn't sure if she was as crazy about him as he was about her.He stared into her eyes for a while longer before getting off her. Angeline sat up. When she saw Sean reaching for the cigarettes on the coffee table, she stopped him and brought his hand to her face. Then, she placed a hand on his uninjured shoulder and boldly sat on his lap.Sean wrapped his hands around her slender waist. His Adam's apple bobbed when he saw her red face."I want you to leave now so that you can return to me sooner than planned. It's not that I want you gone…" Angeline held his face and lightly pressed her lips to his.Her lashes fluttered when she saw his gaze darken. Their noses brushed against one another. She couldn't stop h

"Have a seat for now." Sean pulled out a chair for Brayden.Brayden pursed his lips, seemingly keeping his emotions at bay as he sat down. Soon, they started discussing Sean's plans to leave as they ate.Brayden was surprised to learn Angeline had talked Sean into using the accident to shed his identity as Sean Lawson. He'd thought she would cry while begging him to stay.Sean had left the hospital after the accident, so they could only use its aftereffects to cook up a story."We'll go with the second part of our original plan for this. I'll think of something for the medical records at the hospital. Meanwhile, I'll take you to our hospital tonight and arrange your sudden death."When questions are asked, I'll say you hit your head and had a brief moment of unconsciousness that you didn't tell the doctor about. So, your cause of death will be internal hemorrhage. Is that okay?" Brayden said."It's better to consult a doctor before proceeding with your plan. I'll head to the ol

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
