Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 65
Before the show, the Emmersons had discussed the plan. During the program, they had to reveal Angeline's name and school and spread blue rumors about her to disgrace her in front of everyone. Their intended result was that Angeline would be forced to leave Oceanford and obediently return to Emmerson Village with them. Destroying a girl's reputation was as simple as spreading scandalous gossip. The gossipmonger only needed a single sentence to spread the rumor. However, the victim might invest all their time and energy to prove their innocence, to no avail. Even if the truth came to light, people would quickly move on with a simple apology from the gossipmonger. Moreover, Ned spread the photos of Angeline. Juliet sat on the ground, slapping her thigh and wailing. "Jodie was such a good girl when she left. What has she become? She used to be a good student at Oceanford College, but now she's nothing but a cheap plaything! "She was fooling around with men in the school, and he

After Benjamin finished speaking, the screen displayed a person's medical report from when the Lawsons conflicted with the Emmersons. Pictures of the victim's injuries were also shown without revealing their face. The wounds looked terrible. "When my birth mother escaped Emmerson Village, Mr. Lawson Senior told the hospital to provide this medical report of her." Angeline marked out the important sections of the report with a red pen. "There are many visible injuries here and 28 bone fractures in her body. Moreover, a small part of her skull was missing due to an external injury."The police took this picture. It was where the Emmersons kept my mother captive." Angeline then looked at the screen again. The slides had been changed. It projected a humid basement that was documented by the police when they investigated the case back then. There was a bed soaked in blood. Scratch marks made by Angeline's mother all over the metal chains and the wall could also be observed. It

Angeline unzipped her coat, revealing her singlet and skinny figure underneath. "I was able to survive even though I was female because the Emmersons needed me to prevent the next baby from being female as well."No one could imagine that although Angeline had a beautiful face, her body was marked with ugly scars. Meanwhile, those netizens who mocked her for being a masochistic whore after her nudes were leaked fell silent. The slide changed, and a picture of a small girl was shown. She looked filthy, her hair was messy, and she was extremely skinny. Moreover, her entire body was covered in terrible wounds. Yet, her eyes looked bright. The scars on Angeline's body and the young girl's picture shocked everyone. "This was me after I had just escaped with my biological mother from Emmerson Village." Angeline looked at the screen and continued calmly, "Back then, my mother kept giving birth to girls. As such, during her last pregnancy, the Emmersons started pinning nails into

Henrietta wiped her tears with the back of her hand and held Angeline's arm firmly. When she saw the last clip of her mother on the television screen, she swore to herself, "I must live a good life so my mother won't worry about me."Meanwhile, The Family Search was still airing on television. "Lastly, I would like to address the children who were born to kidnapped women like me…" Angeline looked like she was about to cry, but her voice was filled with conviction. "If your mothers managed to survive and escape, please don't… Please don't remind them of what they have suffered!"During the two years that Angeline was in a coma, she kept dreaming about the past. In her dreams, she wished to rescue her mother and help her out of Emmerson Village, even if it came at the expense of her own life. That was because Angeline loved her mother greatly. "Even though my mother is dead, I still want to tell her that I'm doing great right now! Although she isn't by my side, I have Anne wi

Angeline teared up when she saw that the topic had gone viral.After all, her reason for appearing on The Family Search was to use the show's influence to raise the sentence for buyers of trafficking victims.At the same time, online netizens discovered videos of Angeline every time she received a prize. In her speeches, she would always remind everyone to pay more attention to human trafficking issues. Moreover, someone discovered that Angeline would donate the money she received from bursaries to foundations that raised awareness for trafficking victims ever since she was in junior high school. This proved that she wasn't putting on an act by attending the television program. Several netizens replied to the trending hashtags.Pancakes replied to #sentencingbuyersoftraffickingvictims: "She probably wanted to help others in the same position as her mother!"EatingSlowly replied to #humantraffickingsentencingmustincreasenodemandnoharm: "I'm touched. She has been working so har

Robert now understood that Angeline wanted to save women who were in the same situation as Jessica.He realized it was the reason why Sean said that Angeline was brilliant. Angeline had endured humiliation and exercised extreme patience to achieve her goals. This showed she could steady her emotions well, like a Lawson family member. There was an abrupt knock on Robert's door.With that, he switched off his smart tablet and wore his glasses. "What's the matter?""Mr. Lawson Senior, it's getting late. You should rest soon." Sandy opened the door carefully and reminded Robert, "Tomorrow morning, Mr. Hughes is coming over to check up on you and Sean.""I got it." Robert turned his head to look at Sandy. "You should go to bed as well!"In the meantime, Ned couldn't get a wink of sleep either. He had already left the hospital and was recuperating at the Fletcher residence. He knew that The Family Search was airing that night. Moreover, Ned knew that Angeline had atten

He had never apologized to anyone before. He didn't know what to say even if Angeline did pick up the call.Meanwhile, Sean, seated in a private jet, watched the viral video clips online. He was relieved when he noticed the public's opinions about Angeline had improved. He then passed his smart tablet to Taylor and checked his watch.He was going to meet with the upper management of Lawson Global. So, Sean gathered his documents and told Taylor, "Observe the perspectives of the online netizens and be prepared to restrict the comments when necessary.""Don't worry. I've already instructed the secretarial department to take note of that." Taylor followed after Sean. "They will slowly release videos of Ms. Angeline's award speeches."Fortunately, Angeline had attended many competitions not disclosed to media outlets.Still, Taylor had always instructed others to record everything for Sean to look at after those events. As time passed, Taylor gradually recorded all the competi

"Mrs. Luxe, I know you're kindhearted. Accept this as a token of my appreciation." Angeline placed the money into Hussey's hand and said, "Please keep this."Hussey ultimately accepted the money.On Tuesday morning, Angeline set off to the airport. Before departing, she kept reminding Henrietta, "Call me every day. When you leave the house and before you go to bed, you must turn the gas off and lock the doors securely."Henrietta, who was carrying her school bag, nodded obediently. She opened the door for Angeline. "I'm leaving. If you need anything, look for Mrs. Luxe or call me."Henrietta smiled and signed, "Don't worry."Once the plane landed safely, Angeline received a message from Henrietta. She told Angeline to stay safe and eat well. Angeline then took the direct bus to Cloudsville College. When she arrived at school, Angeline immediately headed to the laboratory and monitored the data on the computer. Meanwhile, Marion, who went to fetch a cup of water earlier

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
