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
Sean spoke earnestly to Melissa. He had grown up with her, and his mother had always wanted a daughter, so she doted on Melissa. Emelia had even said that she wanted Melissa to be her daughter-in-law. Their families had enjoyed joking around like that.However, Sean only had room in his heart for Angeline. Perhaps Melissa had grown accustomed to the idea that they would become husband and wife one day, and maybe that was why she was helping him so much. Or perhaps she was doing it because of their long friendship, like her father, Brian Lane. Regardless, Sean was very grateful and would do his best to repay them for their help. Still, he would only ever have Angeline as his wife.Since he could only see Melissa as a sister, he figured it would be better for him to clear the air now.When he saw Melissa's shocked expression, he ruffled her hair like he used to do when they were kids. "I'll take you to meet my wife when everything is over."As Melissa watched Sean leave the roo
Brayden pressed his lips together and glanced at Sean, who had looked over at Melissa. Brayden turned back to Melissa, who was standing beside Sean and felt in his pocket for his phone."Melissa." Sean shut the notebook and looked seriously at her. "I told you, I already have a wife.""Is it Monica? She's just your fiancée, and besides… you're not Sean anymore! You're my husband, Shane," she said, pressing Sean's shoulder. She leaned over to kiss him.Sean dodged her and caught her face with his long, slender fingers. He pressed his thumb against her lips and carefully pushed her pretty face away from him. Melissa had lost her mother as a child, so Brian had spoiled her terribly. He had even given up on marrying again for Melissa's sake. Even though he did get married again, he did not try for any more children. When he married his second wife, he made his will and left all his assets to Melissa.After Spencer and Emelia had passed away, Brian had watched Melissa break do
"Melissa, don't let the old jokes of our elders bind you." Sean reached out again and ruffled her hair like he used to do when they were young. "You're very important to me, and you're the only younger sister I have in this world. I don't want to lose you."Melissa's eyes reddened. "I'm going to prove to you that I like you like a woman likes a man! Since you're back, we have plenty of time!" She turned and stalked to the front row of the private jet, then pulled the curtains around her and sat there in a huff. "I'm the witness! Melissa likes you romantically!" Brayden saw that she had gone and lowered his voice. "Besides, she's right. You're Shane, now. Within our circle, you're already married to Melissa, and you're her husband."Sean sat down and continued flipping through the notebook, ignoring Brayden. Brayden rubbed his hands together. He ultimately grabbed the suit jacket that he had tossed over the back of the sofa and retrieved a dozen or so photos. He handed
At the Kingston residence, Dexter had just been told that they'd run the wrong guy over. He was so angry that he kicked the coffee table over. "Useless! You're all useless! How could you get them mixed up?" Dexter's hands were shaking with anger. "If we don't kill Shane this time, then Shane and that Lane fellow will be on their guard! Getting Shane to leave Lane's protection was so difficult for us. Is this how you operate? I've spent so much money on them over the years, and instead of helping me take care of business, your subordinates create trouble.""Dexter, our subordinates are not to blame. It was simply a coincidence that Sean and Shane appeared in the same city and checked into the same hotel. We were confused when they exited the hotel because they really do look very similar to one another! It's true!" Cain hurriedly placed the photos of Sean and Shane on the coffee table. "Look! They're really very similar! They could be mistaken for twins!""Nonsense!" Dexte
