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

"Huh?" Jamie gasped. But wasn't Fabian Grace's husband? Why would Angeline be interested in a married man? "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just wondering if Fabian is Grace's adviser." Angeline rolled her eyes at Jamie. "Just look into him." "Y-yes, Ms. Lawson!" Jamie asked, "So, are you returning to Lawson Residence or the Grand Court Residences?"Without looking up from the report that Taylor sent on her tablet, Angeline replied, "Lawson Residence." When she arrived, Robert was having tea with Warren, Hiram, Jeremy, and Nelson in the garden. She could hear them laughing from afar. "I can hear your laughter from the entrance, Granddad." Angeline smiled while walking toward Robert before gracefully greeting the others. As per their planned script, Robert first criticized Angeline for getting mad and leaving the conference. Angeline apologized and proceeded to discuss Lawson Global's plan for the next year. Hiram and Nelson followed suit and shared the

Robert wiped the droplets of tea off the teapot before continuing, "Could you bear the responsibility of ruining the Lawson family's name in Krontos?" "It's still early for us to worry about this, Granddad," Angeline said. "We don't know when he'll be done with his vengeance, nor when he will return."Angeline was pessimistic as she had already decided to spend the rest of her life with Robert, Jessica, and the twins."So, I heard from Asher that you're visiting Ravoria in two days." Robert changed the topic. "Yeah. Sean had contacted an automobile company in Ravoria before he left," Angeline said. "The company has a Yucainian engine designer whose grandfather was involved in developing the TU-160 heavy bomber. "We sent someone to validate the authenticity of this information, and we learned that his contract with the current company is ending soon. Sean had made a preliminary agreement with him, inviting him to Lonla and work with Lawson Global in developing an engine fo

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
