"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

However, Robert and Sean had lived like father and son for many years. Robert wasn't completely heartless, after all."Didn't you try to persuade him?" Robert stood with his back to Angeline, his eyes reddened. "There'll be a bloody battle when he returns to the Kingston family. He'll have to face the evil forces who killed his parents.""Everyone has something they need and want to do, Granddad. Like I said last time, I'll wait for him but won't stop him." Angeline's voice was firm and calm. "Besides, he has something to anchor him. He has you, the two children, and me. He won't risk his life to fight. You should trust him. He was raised by you, after all." Robert gripped his walking stick tightly and shut his eyes.Perhaps it was because he was growing older, but Robert recently felt like many things were slipping out of his control. He no longer had the strength to do anything about it."Since you've already made your mind up, it won't change anything, even if I disagr

At 2:15 am, Robert's and Angeline's phones rang simultaneously.When Angeline arrived downstairs, Asher was already there to pick Robert up. Once Robert had gotten changed, the three of them headed to the hospital in the same car.Several people were already at the hospital when Robert and Angeline arrived. When they discovered that Robert was there, everyone greeted him at the hospital parking lot. They offered words of comfort and condolences to Robert, who walked with a firm step despite his head of almost entirely white hair.People from the funeral home were waiting for Robert to show up and take a last look before sending the body to the crematorium.Everyone waited outside, leaving the hospital room for Robert and his adopted son.Angeline stood at the door expressionlessly. She gave meticulous instructions. "Don't let the news about Mr. Lawson's death get out for now. We must not let the media know. Mr. Lawson Senior will return to the office tomorrow morning and simul

The company's high-level executives were slightly more reassured after hearing what Taylor had to say.Robert soon walked out of the hospital room with Angeline supporting him. The Lawson Global senior executives hurriedly went up to them. The people from the funeral home carried Sean out in a body bag. Robert held his walking stick with both hands, his eyes red. He said hoarsely, "Tonight has been hard on all of you.""Our condolences, Mr. Lawson Senior!""Mr. Lawson Senior, we offer our deepest condolences…"Robert nodded. He was unsmiling, and deep lines of fatigue were etched on his face. He walked into the hospital elevator with Angeline's help.Taylor carefully noted and instructed all the executives, "Tomorrow morning, Mr. Lawson Senior will return to the office to chair a meeting. Before that, please do not leak the news of Mr. Lawson's sudden death."Although both Angeline and Taylor had given instructions to keep Sean's sudden death a secret, news of it still spread

Lawson Lapdog: "That's right! Even if Ms. Lawson did want to commit murder, she wouldn't have tried to kill two at the same time! Wouldn't that make her actions clear to everyone? Someone like Ms. Lawson wouldn't be that stupid."When Robert arrived, he exited the car and walked into the building with Asher. He leaned heavily on his walking stick. The staff members at Lawson Global prevented anyone from greeting him, and the workers' group chats began to explode. The board of directors were seated in Meeting Room One, and their brows were deeply furrowed. The news of Sean's death had caught them completely unaware. The assistants and secretaries of the various directors of the board were exchanging information outside the meeting room. The directors were also clustered together in the meeting room, trying to sieve information from each other to piece together the complete picture. "I couldn't get through to Mr. Millstone this morning. It was the same with Mr. Powell, Mr. Lawson'

"You're overthinking it. I finalized my will long ago and told Sean and Angeline very clearly. Sean clarified that he did not want to inherit the Lawson assets and shares. Angeline was only able to join Lawson Global because Sean was preparing her to take over at the company in the future." Robert's voice was calm. No one had expected this revelation. When Angeline first joined Lawson Global, everyone had been expecting a fight for the successor's rights. They even thought Angeline and Sean only pretended to get along for Robert's sake. After all, the Scott sisters maintained a cordial relationship with each other at first, but their true colors were only revealed when their power struggle intensified. Who would have thought that Sean did not want the Lawson inheritance or that he had brought his relative Angeline into the company to prepare for a future handover? Even Daniel, who had been with Robert for many years and never questioned him, was flummoxed. He wondered if

At the same time, Lawson Global would focus on making a breakthrough with the lithography machine as Marvonia still struggled with raising production volume. During this time, Marvonia would not be able to enter the domestic market for mid-level chips. Lawson Global would improve the domestic production of lithography machines and chips so that they could penetrate the high-end market.After the meeting, the heads of each department delivered Angeline's instructions to their subordinates so that each department could continue working according to their plans. Even though she was Sean's fiancée, Monica only learned about his death through Lawson Global's official Twitter account.She immediately closed the door to her office and called Angeline to inquire about the events."Don't worry. Our collaboration will not change despite Sean's death," Angeline said. "I prefer working with you over Lara. Not only have we known each other longer, but you've shown me your sincerity from the

"Yes." Melissa nodded. "However, it won't affect us much. If you hadn't pushed the plan back for a year, our original plan would've occurred on the third of next month anyway. There isn't much difference, and it'll be better for us to return early so Dexter won't cause any trouble."When Sean was still Shane, genetics technology hadn't been significantly developed yet. Despite that, his parents had spent a considerable sum of money for him to get his DNA sequenced by a biology laboratory. If Sean wanted to return to the Kingston residence as Shane and claim his inheritance, he would have to prove his identity using his genetic data. When Melissa began planning for Sean's return, she married Cory Walden, Sean's decoy. She then hid him away from everyone by claiming that he was in poor health. Even Sean's uncle, Dexter, was barred from seeing his "nephew" because he was too sick. Melissa told them that Sean would return to Kingston after recovering. Dexter had assumed that M

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
