"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
