"Alright," Eric said. "I'll keep this under wraps for now, but Dr. Dane isn't in the best of health now. If you want to use the law to avenge Tina, you're going to have to be quick about it.""Got it," Angeline said. She hung up, feeling grim. She could keep the news under wraps for the time being, but it wouldn't stay hidden forever. Thomas had saved Xavier, and she owed him for that.Still, she knew that Sean would protect Melissa if Thomas were to exact his revenge. Setting aside the fact that they'd grown up together, Melissa and Brian had been instrumental in Sean's return to the Kingston family.The rest of the meal passed with Angeline feeling like she was eating cardboard. The news weighed down on her.When she returned to her suite, she threw herself onto the bed and shut her eyes as a barrage of thoughts invaded her mind. She only fell asleep when it was close to dawn.…Now that Angeline had dealt with Adrian, she wanted to check on things at the lab in Grand Ckrodtria

Angeline continued probing when she noticed Melissa's flippant attitude. "Blood transfusions are fine, but what about organ donations? Biology experts have been looking into replacements for organ donations in recent years."Wouldn't that be something you'd be interested in, Mrs. Kingston? It's really hard to tell whether you or anyone else would need this in the future.""Others might need it, but I won't." Melissa smiled and returned the menu to the waiter.Angeline said, "Whatever it is, I still think you need to care for your heart. After all, finding a heart that matches your blood type couldn't have been easy."Even if you do manage to find one… no healthy person would want to give up their life to donate their heart to you. I apologize if my words sound harsh; I just hope you'll realize the severity of the matter and take good care of yourself.""You seem to be very concerned about our community, Ms. Lawson." Melissa leaned back with a wry smile. "You're even more concerned

"Shane and Melissa must've gone out of their way to head to Dmont so they could negotiate with Angeline Lawson." Dexter stood before the window. His ruthless expression was reflected in it. "We have to think of a way to deal with them.""Based on what we found, Sean Lawson, the man we accidentally killed, was Angeline Lawson's relative. He helped her a lot while she was growing up; he didn't even give up on her when she was comatose." Cain held a dossier on Angeline. "So, she'll likely work with Shane to avenge Sean Lawson.""We can't let that happen. Shane pulled some dirty tricks to kick me out of Kingston Empire's management team, but there are still people on my side. Still, if he manages to get Angeline to work with him, he'll gain a steady foothold in the company." Dexter turned, frowning as he lit a cigarette."Even if Angeline doesn't care about Sean, there's no denying she stands to gain from his death. To prove her innocence, she'll definitely choose to work with Shane to

"I have. Gregory Steele is a genius in genetics. He's at Cloudsville College now and researching a genomic category." Heather took a sip of her coffee. "The research hasn't borne fruit over the past few years, but Cloudsville College still thinks it's important."In fact, they keep increasing the research budget. If I remember correctly, you graduated from Cloudsville College, too."Angeline nodded. "Cloudsville College has wanted to stop the lab's research for ages. Vitality Biotech's been providing the research funds all this while.""Oh, I see." The realization dawned on Heather."The research center we're setting up in Lonla is in the end stage now, and the lab is being furbished. Once I return to Lonla, I'll tell Danny to speed things up. When that's taken care of, I'll move Cloudsville College's lab to the research center."As for the genetics expert you're looking for… we can have Gregory handle it," Angeline said."That'd be great!" Heather said. "We'll be closer to you w

"Is this necessary?" Bart raised an eyebrow at Lenny.The head security guard zeroed in on Ivan—perhaps it was because he didn't look like a local. How did you two get in here?"Outsiders weren't allowed on these premises, after all."We climbed over the wall!" Ivan said truthfully."Leave now, or we'll report you to the police!" The head security guard stepped forward and shoved Ivan angrily.Ivan wanted to retaliate, but Bart stopped him. The latter smiled with his eyes on Angeline. He said to Ivan, "C'mon, let's wait outside."Heather stayed by Angeline's side until the latter got into the car. The former said in a low voice, "Hurry up and return to Lonla; don't linger in Dmont. Things aren't as safe abroad, after all. That foreign-looking man obviously isn't the good sort. Head to the airport without stopping anywhere else, okay?""Alright." Angeline nodded. "Don't spend all your time in the lab, okay? Your health should be your priority.""Alright, alright." Heather backed

Bart wondered whether it was because Angeline didn't know who he was. He'd been with celebrities from different countries in the past. He was a generous lover and wouldn't affect their glamorous lives. All he asked was that those pretty women be at his beck and call when he was still interested in them.As long as they spent time with him, Bart could give them all the money and resources they wanted! He didn't have much of a life goal aside from vengeance, after all.As a man, what was his purpose for making big money? All he wanted was to have pretty women at his disposal and power in his hand.Surprisingly, Ivan just couldn't catch up with Lenny and Angeline. They were close to success at Dmont's city center when Lenny swerved right into the embassy.Ivan slammed the brakes and smirked at the embassy's gates. "The brat's a pretty good driver. It's getting me excited!"Bart chuckled. He was excited, too. "They're from Lonla, aren't they? Find out who they are. There's never bee

Angeline said half-jokingly, "Don't tell me you thought I'd purposely looked into Ms. Lane's background because I was jealous of her.""Are you?" There was a hint of a smile in Sean's voice. "I'd be happy if you were."He would be beyond pleased if Angeline were jealous of him and Melissa; he didn't like how she'd looked so calm and composed that night at the restaurant.Sean had a strong, almost uncontrollable desire to possess Angeline at all times. Similarly, he hoped she felt the same about him, even if he knew this wasn't the best time for his possessive side to come through.If Angeline felt as possessive over him as he did for her, she would have to be tormented every night. That was how he felt, anyway."A little," Angeline said. "I know Ms. Lane is like family to you, though. She's like… how Granddad is to me.""Yeah. Melissa's nothing more than a sister to me.""It's getting late; you should go to bed. How should I contact you if Dexter comes to me and asks to work tog

Kerri had been in this line of work for long enough to sense that live streams were the way ahead. Cell phone coverages had gone from 3G to 4G and now to 5G. Soon enough, there would be 6G. When the time came, live streams would be all the rage.More importantly, they had to capture the users' free time."Ms. Lawson…" Kerri said tentatively, "Steele Group has been doing well in online retail, and they also took a preemptive strike when it comes to the web novel industry. Look at all the web novel sites they've already acquired—it has helped them snatch some of Hooper Group's market share."This time, they see that live streams are the way to go. They're just using their live stream platform to test the waters. We can't let them get too far ahead of us!"Angeline nodded. Everything Kerri had said had already occurred to her. She tapped Kerri's proposal and said, "Alright, then. I'll leave this in your hands.""What about Mr. Xanders?" Kerri seemed a little afraid of Gary. "I'm acqu

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
