Angeline felt suffocated. Sean had once asked her if she was possessive of him, and she now realized that she was. She knew that it was all an act and that Sean had to be Melissa's husband if he wanted to resume his original identity. Still, she was overwhelmed. Her mood had already been low due to exhaustion, and now she felt worse.She picked up the phone that Sean had passed to her through Brayden, glanced at it, and then put it down again.Although she was in a bad mood, she still hoped that Sean was safe and that he could successfully accomplish his goals. She would settle the score with him when he returned.Angeline went to bed with her emotions weighing heavily on her, and she did not sleep well. Fortunately, it was Saturday the next day, and she was not in a hurry to get up.However, she had to attend a social gathering with Monica and her sisters. Nathaniel and a few other heirs of the other families would be playing golf together so she could not wake up too late
Melissa felt very aggrieved. They had grown up together, and Sean had always been the only man in her heart. How could he fall in love with someone else and claim that she was just a sister to him?"That has nothing to do with it, Melissa." Sean's voice softened. "Even when the adults made jokes in our childhood, I said the same thing… In my eyes, you're just my younger sister." Due to Emelia's fondness for Melissa and the strong bond between Spencer and Brian, they had all hoped that Sean and Melissa would make a pact to be married. However, Sean had told Emelia that since he didn't have a younger sister, he would treat Melissa as his younger sibling and look after her as an older brother.Sean had never thought of Melissa as a candidate for a future wife.Melissa would always be family to him."A younger sister?" Melissa laughed. She clenched her fists tightly and mustered up all her courage before abruptly sitting on Sean."Melissa!"Before Melissa could put her arms
At Sean's words, Melissa got up and left with her phone."Melissa!" Sean called out after her.However, she ignored him. She didn't even change out of her pajamas and slippers before leaving and slamming the door shut behind her.The bodyguard standing watch outside was startled to see Melissa leaving, and he hurriedly rushed after her.Sean called and instructed the bodyguard to follow Melissa closely, ensuring her safety. He went into the study, opened a drawer, and took out the phone that he would use to contact Angeline. However, it was already after 11:00 pm, so he suppressed his desire to hear Angeline's voice.He closed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.They had only been apart for a few days, but Sean was finding it hard to endure how much he missed Angeline.The phone on his desk vibrated.He opened his eyes and glanced at it. Brayden was calling.He picked it up and put it to his ear. "What's the matter?" Sean had arranged for Brayden to return to
Monica appeared indifferent. She turned to the Hooper heir, Nathaniel, who was putting on gloves and getting ready to go onto the green. "Mr. Hooper, I hear that Mr. Hooper Senior is trying to set you up with Ms. Lawson. Has there been any progress?""Are you worried about the Hoopers collaborating even more closely with the Lawsons, Ms. Monica? Or are you worried about me?" Nathaniel laughed as he looked at Monica. "Or perhaps you're concerned about my personal life and are hoping to start something up with me?""Stop messing around. We grew up together and know each other far too well." Monica glanced at Grace and grinned, saying, "I'm just giving you some advice. Grace has brought her brother-in-law, Rafael… She wants to set him up with Ms. Lawson. If you're interested in Ms. Lawson, you'd better act fast, Mr. Hooper! After all… Fabian's family is known for being popular with the ladies."Grace's expression darkened. "What do you mean by that, Monica? That's your brothe
The result of everyone assuming Grace as the sole heiress of the Scott family was that Grace had grown to be very arrogant while also being a hopeless romantic.However, Grace's business skills were above average, and she had a strong team behind her. She was also fairly good at work.Despite this, her personality and wit lagged behind. Whenever she was without her team, she would often make mistakes because of her personality traits. Grace watched Angeline and Nathaniel leave together, and her grip tightened around her coffee cup.She had planned to have Rafael grab a firm hold of Angeline. With the support of Lawson Global, neither Lara nor Monica would be able to affect Grace's position in the company. After all, Monica and Sean had once been engaged to marry, and it had given her many advantages in the company. Grace was naturally covetous.However, she had put her foot in her mouth again. If her mother found out, Grace would be sure to get a scolding.Lara clucked her ton
It seemed like the only way for Fabian and his brother, Rafael, to stand their ground within the elite circle was for Rafael to date Angeline, the Lawson family's successor.After pondering, Grace called Rafael and asked impatiently, "Where the hell are you? Why aren't you here yet? Don't you know how important this event is? Don't be so arrogant! "I'm warning you. If you can't capture Ms. Lawson's attention today, don't expect me to pay for your sister's medical expenses. Got it?" What Rafael said on the other side of the phone was unclear, but Grace calmed down after listening to him. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before saying, "Do you know how much work I've put in to be with Fabian? Yet I've now become the laughing stock in the upper-class circle, and even Fabian is excluded from the group."My dad will only acknowledge Fabian if you enter our circle and become Angeline's significant other. So, for the sake of your siblings, you better do something about it."
Rafael appeared innocent. He spoke with confidence, without any indication of deceit or plotting. Angeline took her glove off to shake Rafael's hand. "Danny told me about you." "Did he?" Rafael smiled even brighter. "So, do I have the chance to intern at Vitality Biotech Group? I grew interested when Mr. Reilly came to our university for a seminar about Vitality Biotech Group's research in finding a cure for ALS.""It's because… Well, my sister is also an ALS patient," Rafael said dejectedly. Lara jeered. "Look at you, using your sister to seek for sympathy again." "No one would willingly make themselves appear vulnerable, Ms. Lara," Rafael fearlessly replied to Lara with a stern look. "I chose to study Biology because of my sister. I hope to do my part in contributing to the cure for ALS." "Is that so? Then, I'll talk to Danny. Our research laboratory in Lonla is about to be completed. We can assign you to the ALS research once it's done. I mean, you're already on
Seeing these kinds of tactics in the business world wasn't unusual. After all, a honeytrap would always work regardless of gender. While Rafael was considered a decent man and knew how to play the role of the victim sincerely, his strategy wouldn't work on Angeline. Rafael had a big shoe to fill with Sean as his rival. So, regardless of Rafael's caliber, Angeline would never fall for him.After seeing Angeline off, Rafael narrowed his eyes. He never expected his cheerfulness and sincerity to be ineffective against Angeline. Rafael wondered if Angeline was at least interested in his appearance since she rejected his offer on the basis that she didn't want Robert to misunderstand.Jamie, who was following behind Angeline while holding her water bottle, turned back to look at Rafael. He sneaked a photo of him before sending it to Taylor, who was on a business trip. He texted Taylor, "Mr. Powell, this man was sent by his sister-in-law, Grace, to pursue Ms. Lawson. His name is
