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
Roman Green, Brayden's father, sat at the table next to Dexter. He stood up and said, "You've finally returned, Shane!"An uproar sparked through the crowd following Roman's remark.Everyone had always heard rumors about the return of Spencer's only son, Shane Kingston. But it was always rumors with no proof of its legitimacy.Who would've expected him to return on Dexter's birthday with such a grand entrance, obviously challenging him?Dexter looked straight at Sean. "Mr. Green, do you miss Shane that much? Why are you saying that this random person is Shane?""Hello, Uncle Roman. I've returned," Sean stopped before Roman and said in a light-hearted tone."Good to see you, Shane! I'm glad to have you back!" Tears flooded Roman's eyes. He knew Sean was alive, and Brayden had met him in person. But Roman had always been cautious since Dexter had someone keep an eye on him because he was worried.This was the first time Roman met Sean, who was alive after the incident.Roma
Brian was so touched by Spencer that he immediately became sworn brothers with him. Discussions quickly stirred up amongst the crowd."Is that really Shane?" "Look at him. He does resemble Mr. Spencer back in the day." "Wait, wasn't Mr. Dexter always searching for his nephew Shane? How did Mr. Lane end up finding him? And has Shane been married to Mr. Lane's daughter for several years?" "You shouldn't take that seriously. All of the Kingston family assets will belong to Shane if he returns. Why would Mr. Dexter look for him if he would much rather have him dead?" Dexter felt embarrassed. He quickly recomposed himself and wore a gentle expression. "You do look like my brother, Spencer. But how can you prove you're my nephew? Your appearance won't deceive me! "Spencer and Emelia aren't around anymore, so let's have a kinship test. If the result shows that we're blood-related, then I'll believe you're Shane." Dexter was trying to intimidate Sean to test if he truly was Sh
