Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 69
Angeline teared up when she saw that the topic had gone viral.After all, her reason for appearing on The Family Search was to use the show's influence to raise the sentence for buyers of trafficking victims.At the same time, online netizens discovered videos of Angeline every time she received a prize. In her speeches, she would always remind everyone to pay more attention to human trafficking issues. Moreover, someone discovered that Angeline would donate the money she received from bursaries to foundations that raised awareness for trafficking victims ever since she was in junior high school. This proved that she wasn't putting on an act by attending the television program. Several netizens replied to the trending hashtags.Pancakes replied to #sentencingbuyersoftraffickingvictims: "She probably wanted to help others in the same position as her mother!"EatingSlowly replied to #humantraffickingsentencingmustincreasenodemandnoharm: "I'm touched.

Robert now understood that Angeline wanted to save women who were in the same situation as Jessica.He realized it was the reason why Sean said that Angeline was brilliant. Angeline had endured humiliation and exercised extreme patience to achieve her goals. This showed she could steady her emotions well, like a Lawson family member. There was an abrupt knock on Robert's door.With that, he switched off his smart tablet and wore his glasses. "What's the matter?""Mr. Lawson Senior, it's getting late. You should rest soon." Sandy opened the door carefully and reminded Robert, "Tomorrow morning, Mr. Hughes is coming over to check up on you and Sean.""I got it." Robert turned his head to look at Sandy. "You should go to bed as well!"In the meantime, Ned couldn't get a wink of sleep either. He had already left the hospital and was recuperating at the Fletcher residence. He knew that The Family Search was airing that night. Moreover, Ned knew that Angeline had atten

He had never apologized to anyone before. He didn't know what to say even if Angeline did pick up the call.Meanwhile, Sean, seated in a private jet, watched the viral video clips online. He was relieved when he noticed the public's opinions about Angeline had improved. He then passed his smart tablet to Taylor and checked his watch.He was going to meet with the upper management of Lawson Global. So, Sean gathered his documents and told Taylor, "Observe the perspectives of the online netizens and be prepared to restrict the comments when necessary.""Don't worry. I've already instructed the secretarial department to take note of that." Taylor followed after Sean. "They will slowly release videos of Ms. Angeline's award speeches."Fortunately, Angeline had attended many competitions not disclosed to media outlets.Still, Taylor had always instructed others to record everything for Sean to look at after those events. As time passed, Taylor gradually recorded all the competi

"Mrs. Luxe, I know you're kindhearted. Accept this as a token of my appreciation." Angeline placed the money into Hussey's hand and said, "Please keep this."Hussey ultimately accepted the money.On Tuesday morning, Angeline set off to the airport. Before departing, she kept reminding Henrietta, "Call me every day. When you leave the house and before you go to bed, you must turn the gas off and lock the doors securely."Henrietta, who was carrying her school bag, nodded obediently. She opened the door for Angeline. "I'm leaving. If you need anything, look for Mrs. Luxe or call me."Henrietta smiled and signed, "Don't worry."Once the plane landed safely, Angeline received a message from Henrietta. She told Angeline to stay safe and eat well. Angeline then took the direct bus to Cloudsville College. When she arrived at school, Angeline immediately headed to the laboratory and monitored the data on the computer. Meanwhile, Marion, who went to fetch a cup of water earlier

Angeline suddenly received many messages. She realized that it was coming from the research team's group chat. Reese was typing…HandsomeReese: "I'm going to be a father!"HandsomeReese: "I'm going to be a father!"HandsomeReese: "Stop sleeping! Get up and congratulate me! I'm going to be a father!"AlvaBlue: "You're not our father. It's early in the morning… Reese, stop acting crazy here."WantToSleep: "So, Marion's pregnant! Congratulations, Marion and Reese. When is the wedding going to be held? We can't wait to attend it!"WantToRest: "Congratulations, Reese. Congratulations, Marion!"HandsomeReese: "I took half a day off today to get the marriage certificate. Don't worry, you're all invited to our wedding."Angi: "Congratulations, Reese and Marion!"After replying to the messages, the memory of her night with Sean at Oceanford abruptly came to Angeline's mind.Her heart rate increased. Although she was drugged, she could vividly remember what happened between them bo

Angeline had rented out their house. Although the place was small and its earnings were small, it covered some of Henrietta's living expenses.Henrietta was thrilled that she had transferred schools. She didn't feel reluctant about leaving her previous institution. Instead, she felt a little relieved. Angeline sent her sister to Cloudsville High School's dormitory. She stopped worrying when she met Henrietta's nice roommates. Her period was delayed for a month, so Angeline bought a pregnancy test kit on the way back from Cloudsville High School's dormitory. It was her first time using the kit. After examining it for a long time, Angeline finally figured out how to use it. Angeline's face paled five minutes later when she saw two red lines on the pregnancy test stick. Her mind went blank. How could she fall pregnant on the first try?Angeline didn't believe it, so she went out and bought a few more pregnancy test kits. Alas, the results were the same. She stared at the row

"It's not that big of a deal. When my mother married my father overseas, she didn't keep in contact with her friends and family over here. When I returned to Oceanford, I had to visit her relatives. They were very enthusiastic, so I could only come here now," Gregory explained.He smiled and scratched the back of his head. "My cousin wanted me to make a Genealogy Book for his girlfriend.""Was the handsome guy who dropped you off earlier your cousin?" Alva's eyes lit up. "That's my cousin," Gregory replied with a smile. "What a shame!" Alva looked upset. "He's so handsome, but he's already taken!""Really? Is he very handsome?" Marion leaned in eagerly. "How does that have anything to do with you? You're pregnant!" Reese rolled his eyes at her. Meanwhile, Angeline instinctively placed a hand on her belly when she heard what Reese said. She looked uncomfortable. "Let's enter the laboratory." Reese put on his lab coat and noticed Angeline's pale face. "Are yo

When Angeline left the laboratory at 7:30 pm to pick Henrietta up from Cloudsville High School, she was surprised to find Ned's black SUV parked outside the laboratory building. As she wrapped herself in a scarf, she descended the stairs that led to the laboratory. She heard Ned call out to her when she walked past his SUV."Angeline!"She paused and huffed before she turned around. Ned leaned against the car door, holding a lit cigarette between his fingers. He put out his cigarette and strode toward Angeline, whose hands were still tucked into her down jacket."It doesn't matter if you believe me, but I didn't know Gregory was your cousin. I had no idea he was coming before I came to the lab."Angeline had a bad reputation. When she woke up from her coma, she'd tried to get close to Ned to make him recall his memories.However, that wasn't the case this time. "I know," Ned replied, standing only a step away from her."I'm very sorry about Ms. York."Angeline clenched her

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
