Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 713
"Judging from your current condition, you should head to the hospital, Mr. Fletcher!" Taylor and Jamie ran after Ned.…Meanwhile, on his way home, Brayden pulled out a cigarette from the glove compartment. After biting on it, he'd yet to light it when Angeline said, "This car's an enclosed space. I'm not interested in inhaling secondhand smoke.""What a bother." He frowned. Despite his words, he removed the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray.She said sincerely, "Thanks for today."To be honest, if Brayden hadn't shown up there, she would've only been left with two choices. One would've been to put up a struggle to the death, while the other would've been to give herself to Bart."Promise me something if you really wanna thank me." Brayden was unsure if Angeline would agree to his request. "I hope you won't tell Shane about this. He'll be up against someone powerful in the future, so we need Bart's help."Bart shares the same enemy as us, and he's a desperado. As long as h

Brayden walked out of the elevator when it stopped at his floor. Ultimately, he still couldn't stop himself from asking, "Did Bart… did he do anything to you?"Seemingly afraid of Angeline's answer, he continued, "It's fine if he didn't do anything. But if he did, I'll castrate him to avenge you once we've gotten what we need from him!""No, he didn't do anything. You came in the nick of time," Angeline said truthfully. "I just kicked him in the groin when you arrived."Brayden nodded and released the elevator door he'd been holding back. He stood there and waited until the elevator reached the top floor, then returned to his apartment.When Angeline arrived home, she called Asher and calmly told him about the abduction. She also asked him to send her the details of the team arranged for her so she could put them to use the following day.Soon, she received a call from Robert. She said soothingly, "Everything's fine now, Granddad. I told Mr. Millstone about the abduction because I

Danny was taken aback. "I've heard of Bart. He's infamous in Southeast Aciana for being a gangster. He's supposed to be the largest drug dealer and manufacturer there, but I don't know whether he's the guy you want, mainly because there aren't any photos of him anywhere."Angeline couldn't help feeling scared after hearing him talk about drugs. If the Bart that had abducted her was indeed the drug dealer and manufacturer Danny knew of, she could've been administered drugs while struggling for all she knew."Don't tell me you want to get into drugs, boss." Danny's tone turned severe. "We can't touch that!""No, I just wanted to find out more after hearing about him. It's getting late, so you should go to bed. Goodnight." Angeline hung up with a deep frown.Judging from Brayden and Bart's earlier conversation, they seemed to know each other well. If she added the Night Palace to the equation…Her scalp tingled. Was Brayden involved in drugs?With that thought in mind, she decided t

Angeline was rendered speechless. Brayden made something as evil as drug trafficking sound somewhat patriotic. As long as he wasn't trafficking drugs within Lonla, she didn't really care.Besides, it was as Brayden had mentioned—drugs had already been legalized in Irigon. It seemed other states in Marvonia were also pushing for the legalization of drugs.Angeline wasn't a Marvonian. As a Lonla citizen, she could only respect Marvonia's decisions and wish its people the best.Lonla had once suffered from the torment of drugs. In the past, opium had destroyed the people of Lonla. That was why Lonla was now the strongest advocate of banning drugs.Angeline pulled her coat tighter around herself. "I hope you won't ever touch drugs."With that, she turned to leave."Wait, did you come down here just to ask me that? If I were to traffick drugs in Lonla…" Brayden suddenly thought about her calling the cops. "Would you have called the cops on me?""Of course!" She didn't even hesitate.

"Let's play by ear. I'll go for it if I have nothing planned by then." Angeline paused, then continued, "I want you to look into Lenny's girlfriend and her parents. Ned mentioned something about celebrities from his company being in a film. Find out who his current boss is."She couldn't sleep after hanging up, so she got out of bed and turned on her laptop to attend to the work that had been delayed because of Bart's abduction.…Angeline was taken aback when she opened the door the next morning to head to work. Lenny wasn't alone in waiting for her—four other professionally trained bodyguards were with him.When she showed up, the bodyguard in the lead stepped forward. "Good morning, Ms. Lawson. Mr. Millstone arranged for us to protect you from today onward.""Oh. Thanks for your hard work, then," Angeline said.Lenny bowed his head more. His guilt over what had happened the day before grew. He shouldn't have abandoned Angeline during his working hours because of Celia's parent

Once Lenny realized Celia could do anything for money, he would appreciate Brayden's efforts in helping him mature."C'mon, don't let it bother you! You're still getting paid, anyway. Go spend time with your girlfriend and her parents!" Brayden said."But Mr. Lawson told me to protect Ms. Angeline," Lenny said."It's fine. You saw those four bodyguards with her, didn't you? It doesn't look like you can take them down. Go on!" Brayden patted his arm and strode out of the elevator.Despite Brayden's words, Lenny still felt beyond guilty. If he couldn't follow Angeline into Lawson Global's building, he would wait outside for her. He made up his mind to secretly protect her even if she no longer wanted him to follow her around.…The announcement on the guest list and filming method of "Survival Island" went viral online. The invited celebrities were all A-listers, and they had strong fanbases.The official live-streaming platform, Silent Voice, recorded a huge increase in daily vie

Those brands were left with no choice. Micah had run into trouble, so he called Taylor to try and reach Angeline. However, Taylor cut him off with a smile. "Mr. Quilton, Ms. Lawson is very busy every day. If you can't deal with a small matter like this, I might ask her if we can send someone to help you out."As soon as Micah heard this, he stopped complaining. "Things aren't going to turn out smoothly. If you need money, Ms. Lawson will give you money. And you need manpower, then she'll send you people. You can't keep asking her for solutions whenever you run into problems. After all, what are we getting paid for? Isn't finding solutions to problems our job? If you can't solve a problem, then you'll end up being the problem. Don't you think?"Micah broke out into a cold sweat. He felt the intimidating demeanor of Sean still lingered, even though he was now gone.Angeline always spoke nicely to them, which had given Micah the impression that she was very easy to deal with. "Ms

"I won't be attending the wedding. There are a lot of things I need to do for the company. Please send my best wishes to Zachary," Angeline said, smiling. Vanessa immediately understood what Angeline was implying. She laughed and hung up."So what if she got adopted by the Lawsons? What right does she have to be so snooty!" Mallory's chest heaved with anger. "If she isn't even going to attend my wedding with Zachary, she should at least call to give us her well wishes! How could she send her wishes through you!""It means that she no longer wants to have anything to do with you two. Don't you get it?" Vanessa found her sister-in-law very difficult to deal with."Mallory, Angie is managing Lawson Global, which is a very large corporation. She doesn't have time to target Locke Group. Don't believe everything you heard.""If she isn't targeting Locke Group, then why won't she work with us?" Mallory questioned.Vanessa was at a loss for words. When she saw Vanessa's expression, Ma

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
