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

    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

    Sean was raised by Robert, after all. He knew exactly what Robert meant based on the Twitter post. Instead of avoiding it, why didn't Lawson Global go up against Kingston Empire about Sean's death? That way, people would stop guessing if Shane and Sean were the same person. After all, there were photos of Shane and Sean appearing at different places simultaneously. That was enough to prove that they were indeed separate people. To Shane, who hurriedly returned to take over Kingston Empire, since Dexter had accidentally killed the successor of Lawson Global, it would make sense for him to talk about collaboration with Lawson Global. Angeline's clothes were stripped off, exposing her shoulders. It was so chilly that she snuggled into Sean's lap. Sean bit Angeline's shoulder. His mouth's heat sent Angeline a jolt, leaving her speechless. Angeline's eyes were half closed. Goosebumps covered her body. Sean captured her every moan as they continued to kiss. His suppressed desir

    Sean tightened his embrace, pulling Angeline deeply into his lap. "Shouldn't you be heading back to your room?" A sliver of pre-dawn light sliced through the gap in the curtain, catching Angeline's eye as she gazed out the window."Let me hold you a little longer," Sean murmured, kissing Angeline's head. "I heard Rafael is quite the charmer. Is that true?" As Angeline lazily opened her eyes, she found Sean watching her intently. "So, I hear you're throwing Melissa a big wedding?""Are you upset?" Sean asked. "Should you find Rafael's presence unsettling, I'll keep my distance. Anyway, I've promised to wait for you unwaveringly. Even if you never return, I won't entertain the idea of another relationship. I'll simply focus on Granddad, Mom, and the kids." Angeline nestled closer to Sean. "Despite my feelings about Melissa, the wedding must proceed for your safety."Angeline wasn't delusional. She knew Sean wouldn't ditch the wedding just because of her. This wedding, she unders

    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
