Thus, Matthew adopted Dexter and treated him as his own. Which was why his wife, Kimberley Hart, once thought Dexter was Matthew's illegitimate child. "Do you have the right to take over the Kingston family?" Sean gave Dexter a cold stare. "Do you want me to show everyone your pater—" "Shane!" the pale-faced Dexter interrupted Sean. He couldn't let anyone know he wasn't a Kingston. "Kingston Empire belongs to you! I'm just managing it on your behalf. Of course, the company should be returned to you since you're back. "But since I've managed it for so many years, I'm worried that some people in the company may be dissatisfied. Maybe I could help you ease into the company…" "Well, don't you worry, Uncle Dexter!" Sean jeered. "After all, you're not a Kingston!" Ultimately, Sean still revealed the truth.The crowd's gasps quickly flooded the hall. They even started discussing among themselves when Dexter didn't defend himself. Who would've thought Dexter wasn't fro
On the surface, Sean's return in such an array definitely gave him the higher ground. But what awaited him was Dexter's backing. For years, Kingston Empire had always been Wayne's treasury. But now that Sean had returned and reclaimed the company, Wayne would not be happy about losing his source of funds. Sean could've enacted his plan without rushing. But Angeline was waiting for him, so he had to settle it quickly. When playing the family card proved to be futile, Dexter leaned toward Sean and whispered, "I'm warning you, Shane. Kingston Empire is not as easy as you think. I'm afraid that you may have the exuberance to take over the company, but you won't stay alive managing it.""With your assassination attempt preceding it, do you think you can get out of it if something were to happen to me?" Sean smirked and leaned closer to Dexter. He whispered, "Why do you think I'm making such a scene today, my dear uncle?" Dexter gritted his teeth. He thought he could have Sean
Angeline was waiting at the airport lounge when she saw the news about Sean in Keman. She was breathless in anxiety for Sean. With the information from Robert and Brayden, Angeline knew the outline of Spencer's incident by connecting the dots. Many years ago, Sean's aunt, Lori Kingston, was engaged to Brian Lane, the current president of Trustworth Group and Melissa's father. They were on a vacation at Menko with Brian's parents. But the local mob boss, Wayne Pennington, kidnapped them. During that time, Spencer also worked with the international law enforcement agency—Globice—to rescue them. Unfortunately, only Brian was saved. Brian's parents were murdered by the mafia, and Lori was taken away by Wayne. Soon after, Spencer kept working with Globice to save his sister, Lori. He even helped them with some other cases, utilizing his status and connections as the president of Kingston Empire. After six years of effort with Globice to eliminate half of Wayne's empire, Spencer
The young policeman locked eyes with Angeline before showing his identification badge to Lenny. "Ms. Helen Lawson filed a police report claiming that she was being hunted, and Ms. Angeline Lawson is involved. Please come with us to help with our investigation, Ms. Lawson." Angeline raised a brow. She didn't expect Helen to cause trouble after all this time deliberately.She assumed Helen was probably mad after Sean's supposed death in the car accident. Angeline calmly replied, "Please give me a moment." The policeman nodded without stopping her. "Mr. Powell, please go ahead with the trip. I'll be there soon," Angeline said. "But if I can't make it to Dmont, you know what's on the schedule. I'm counting on you, Mr. Powell."Also, please help me notify the lab that I'll visit another day. I'll have Jamie handle the details. You have full authority to decide everything on my behalf." Angeline didn't argue because she didn't want people with ill intent to watch her get into
Not long after, the police received a call from the government, and the Chief of Police was berated. Angeline's purpose for the trip to Ravoria and the collaboration with the automobile company was to search for the Yucainian engine designer and poach him to Lonla. Regardless of whether their grandfather was involved in developing the TU-160 heavy bomber, the top priority was to escort them to Lonla safely. If they were experts in the field, they could work with the military industry. And if they didn't, Lawson Global could have another talent for researching new energy engines. But who knew the police would retrieve Angeline from the airport simply because of a baseless accusation? After filing the lawsuit against Helen, Riley then filed another report on behalf of Lawson Global against the driver, who caused Sean's death, for homicide. He also submitted a copy of the sales contract, which showed the driver's wife buying a house after receiving a large amount of money. Some
Lawson Global posted a response on its official Twitter account that read, "Ms. Lawson says we are law-abiding citizens who respect the law. When in trouble, we call the police!"A smug face emoji was also included at the end.Their reply was pinned to the top, attracting many netizens. Lawson Global's unexpected writing style immediately won a lot of support.The fact that they dared to call the police without hesitation showed that they had nothing to hide.AuR0raPuppy: "In response to Helen's police report, Lawson Global also filed a report against her for malicious slander, demanding legal accountability. That's so bold of them!"Those bloggers and influencers, as if coordinated, simply posted videos claiming that the newly appointed Ms. Lawson had hired someone to kill over inheritance rights. But then Lawson Global came in hard against Kingston Empire!"It's hilarious how these bloggers and influencers started deleting their posts after that, not knowing that Lawson Global
There was a lot of buzz online because of Lawson Global's police report and their bold move against Kingston Empire. The public opinion online was overwhelmingly positive.As a result, even the comments criticizing Angeline were drowned out by the wave of support for her.When Angeline exited the police station, she saw Asher standing in front of the car. She didn't doubt that Robert was in it.At the sight of her walking down the steps of the station, Asher opened the car door, and Robert stepped out, leaning on his cane.Angeline, who had been talking with Riley, quickened her pace."Granddad, why did you come?""Are you okay?" he asked."I'm fine. It wasn't my doing anyway. Helen filed the report, so the police called me for routine questioning. Even the government officials called the station. I'm cleared to leave the country with no issues," she replied with a smile.After all, her trip to Ravoria to meet the Yucainian engineer wasn't solely for Lawson Global's interests.
After being apart for so long, Sean kissed Angeline passionately as though he wanted to devour her. His hot lips aggressively sucked her lips and tongue, almost like they were igniting and melting her.If not for her arms bracing against the long table, she might have gone weak at the knees as she felt dizzy from the intense kiss.She briefly caught her breath and asked, "What are you doing here?""I missed you," he replied, gripping her knees and pulling her toward him.He guided her slender legs to wrap around his narrow and firm waist.His large hand pressed against her slim waist, pulling her closer, and he continued to kiss her."I missed you a lot," he mumbled between kisses.Sean's voice was so magnetic and pleasing that it sent shivers down Angeline's spine. She could feel his right arm locked tightly around her waist while his left hand supported the back of the sofa.They kissed deeply and intensely with their bodies pressed closely against each other.Without even r
