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

Someone disagreed with Gary. "We won't stand to gain if we wait until everyone else is already in the game.""But these live streams… Some foreign companies tried to make it big through live streams before, but nothing worked. They lost everything they had." There were also people on Gary's side."Hooper Group is just trying things out on their own platform, but we're acquiring a whole company. That's a bit of a high price to pay if we fail, isn't it?"Just then, Taylor knocked on the door and entered the conference room. He gestured for whoever was outside the room to enter."Sorry for being late." Micah Quilton, the head of Lawson Global's entertainment sector, walked in."It's fine. I was the one who called for a last-minute meeting. Have a seat," Angeline smiled while saying.Taylor walked to her and lowered his voice. He said, "Mr. Webb of the investment department says he still needs some time."Hanson Webb was the new head of the investment department and Daniel's son. He

Micah spoke quickly and confidently. As he spoke, the people who'd first disagreed with the idea fell silent."More importantly, 'Survival Island' won't have a wonky connection because it'll be streamed using Lawson Global's network. What will that tell the viewers? That our network is strong, stable, and has a wide coverage."It'll also show that our network has short latency. Won't that benefit us? Wouldn't that be a form of positive publicity for Lawson Global?" Micah was obviously excited."What does everyone else think?" Angeline asked. She started with Gary. "Why don't you start, Mr. Xanders?""Mr. Quilton may make things sound amazing, but my point still stands—we should be careful with this since Hooper Group doesn't think things will go well," Gary said.Micah looked a little nervous at his words."Does anyone else have anything to say?" Angeline asked.No one said anything."Alright, then. I can understand why none of you want to express your opinion so easily. Firstl

Robert had set his sights on Hanson partly because he felt Hanson was a pretty good guy and partly because he felt Hanson could help Angeline in her career. But Hanson didn't dare dream of being with Angeline.Angeline's phone rang as soon as the words were out of Hanson's mouth. It was Asher. Angeline had a feeling she knew what the call was about; she stopped Hanson from leaving and put the phone on speaker. "Hi, Mr. Millstone.""Hello, Ms. Angeline. Mr. Lawson Senior and Mr. Webb Senior are meeting for dinner; they wanted me to invite you to join them," Asher said cheerily.Angeline glanced at Hanson, who was smiling wryly. "Alright. Send me the time and place."She hung up and smiled amicably at Hanson. "I'm adopted, and you're the biological son. Who do you think would stand a better chance of going against their elders?"Hanson's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Angeline to be so humorous when she'd been so serious earlier. "Wait, you mean…""Mr. Webb Senior feels he owes y

Angeline had to admit that Dexter's eyes were similar to hers and Sean's. Coincidentally, neither of them were related by blood."I'm sure you've already looked into my background, Mr. Kingston. I wouldn't dare claim there was anything between us." She wiped her hands with a warm towel before pouring Dexter some tea."Have you met my nephew, Ms. Lawson? He looks a lot like Mr. Lawson, doesn't he?""Yes, but it's easy to see the differences now that I've seen him up close. His personality and demeanor aren't the same, either." She curled her lip.Dexter felt even more confident when he saw that. He smiled without responding. Instead, he pulled out a folder and handed it to Angeline. "I know you're busy, so I'll cut to the chase. I'm here today to discuss our cooperation, Ms. Lawson."She didn't open the folder. She tapped a finger on it and said, "And what would that be about? Mr. Shane and his wife met with me in Dmont, saying they wanted to bargain with me with their microchips.

Angeline had been targeting that lithography technique anyway."However, I want to leave the information at this price," Angeline said."I'm going to be in this country for three days. You can ask your technicians to prove the integrity of that!" Dexter said with a confident chuckle. "Since I'm working with you, it means I trust you."That afternoon, even though her schedule was extremely full, Angeline still made a trip to Lawson Global's branch in Cloudsville. She also made a trip to Cloudsville College so she could check out the lab.Marion and the others were overjoyed at the sight of Angeline."Why didn't you tell us that you were back? Come on, let's book a private booth at the restaurant we always go to! Did you know that it was almost going to shut down? Gregory bought the whole place!" Alva said with a chuckle."What's been up with you recently? I see you didn't bring your besuited boyfriend," Marion said as she poked Angeline's arm. "When's the wedding?"Reese shot Mari

"I heard you guys were dating before he passed," Gregory said, feeling his throat closing up. "I heard about all the horrible things my cousin did. You got drugged, didn't you? W-Was that when you did something with him?"Gregory had been there at Night Palace that day.Even though it had been dark in the private room, to the point where neither Marion nor Alva could recognize Sean, Gregory had somehow recognized him.Gregory had never thought about Angeline and Sean being together. After all, neither Marion nor Alva had brought it up in front of him since he was a guy.However, after Marion and Alva brought up the person who had helped them in Night Palace and asked about a wedding, Gregory finally sensed that something was off."How would you mistake that guy for Sean?" Angeline said with a gentle chuckle. "They just look similar. You've got the wrong guy.""Then could it be that legendary guy from Kingston Empire?" Gregory asked with wide eyes.If he remembered correctly, tha

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
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 1056
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
