Since Juliet had previously caused trouble outside Vitality Biotech Group, Danny already had ways to deal with her.Taylor also had strategies prepared this time, so he wasn't worried about her causing another scene at Lawson Global.However, this time, things didn't go as expected. Despite his preparation, Juliet never showed up at Lawson Global.Instead, one afternoon after work, Angeline received a call from Sandy, saying that Juliet, George, and Katie somehow discovered the address of the old Lawson residence and went there, demanding to see Robert.Sandy knew about Jessica's abduction and that Angeline and Benjamin were both her children. So, she was worried the Emmersons might have discovered something, which was why they had shown up at the manor."Mr. Lawson Senior took Ms. Jessica and the two children out to play and hasn't returned yet. I thought it best to call you and let you know," Sandy said with concern."I'm just worried that if they don't leave by evening and Ms.
"You are such a fool!" said Juliet as she jabbed a finger at Katie's forehead. "They said Mr. Lawson Senior's daughter isn't married because of poor health. We should let Benjamin be adopted by the Lawsons."Once that old man dies and the sickly, useless daughter follows, the Lawson family will belong to Benjamin. We can then change his family name back to Emmerson. That way, our family line won't be broken!"Asher observed the Emmersons' greedy expression from the surveillance at the main gate. Hearing Juliet's words made his gaze grow even colder. Thinking about the people responsible for causing Jessica so much suffering over the years, he made a call and instructed his contacts to make Rowan's life more difficult.After recording the video as evidence, he had the driver head toward the old Lawson residence.Seeing the car lights approaching from afar, Juliet, George, and Katie turned to look behind them. The iron gate slowly opened, and the guards who had earlier tried to c
Juliet and George came intending to convince the Lawson family to take Benjamin in as their child.Even if the Lawsons didn't want Benjamin, they aimed to make them disgusted with Angeline and drive her out. They figured if they couldn't have it good, neither should she.Asher sat in the backseat with his usual smile. The interior of the car was too dim for Juliet to see who was inside clearly.Besides, Robert had rarely appeared in the media over the years. Mallory had shown them photos from his earlier interviews, where he looked relatively young with dyed hair and a sharp suit.So, when the Emmersons peeked through the slightly lowered car window, they couldn't tell if the person inside was indeed Robert."What are you doing?"The guards of the old Lawson residence immediately came over to pull them aside."It's alright," said Asher. The guards stood on alert, watching the Emmersons.Juliet, sensing a glimmer of hope, continued, "And that little bitch Angeline is a useless w
Katie, scared out of her wits, tugged at Juliet's sleeve gingerly, and said, "Mom, I think it might be hopeless. Let's just head back!"George frowned and said, "Mom, why did you have to say that Benjamin is loyal? Of course Mr. Lawson Senior would think he's loyal to us and use the Lawson family's resources to support us. Do you think Mr. Lawson Senior would agree to that?""Whatever. Let's just go back," Katie said again.Juliet slapped her thigh in frustration and said, "I can't believe we didn't manage to turn Mr. Lawson Senior against Jodie after saying so much. Instead, we ended up helping that bitch.""Why don't we go back and ask the person who told us to find Mr. Lawson Senior at the old Lawson residence? Let's see what she has to say!" Katie suggested, looking at George."Fine. Let's go back," he agreed.The family returned to the hospital but couldn't reach Mallory by phone. Instead, they ended up arguing with those who had come to demand their donations back. They e
After Angeline got out of her car, several bodyguards got out of their car too. With a slight turn of her head, she noticed Lenny, who had been trailing the bodyguards in his car.Although she had told him to spend time with his girlfriend, it was more of a polite way to say that she didn't intend to use him anymore.Lenny understood her meaning, which was why he had been quietly following her."Ms. Angeline, your former bodyguard has been following us," said one of the bodyguards arranged by Asher as they escorted her up the steps.She paused, turning to look at Lenny, who was gripping the steering wheel tightly in his car. She stopped in her tracks.Noticing her gaze, Lenny quickly got out of his car and jogged toward her."Ms. Angeline!" he called out, stopping a respectful distance away, cautious of the other bodyguards around her.She smiled faintly at him and said, "Didn't I tell you to spend time with your girlfriend?"He lowered his head, then after a moment, looked up
The warm lighting inside the house immediately dispelled the gloom hanging over Angeline."Mommy!"Yasmine, sitting on Jessica's lap, was the first to notice her return. She jumped up like a cannonball and rushed over to hug her."Mommy, you're back! Me and Xavier, Mr. Lawson Senior, and Beautiful Ms. Lawson are all waiting for you to eat. We're starving!""Sorry! I'm so sorry for coming home late!" said Angeline, putting her bag on the shoe cabinet before picking up Yasmine.She changed her shoes and walked in, saying, "Granddad, Mom…"Xavier lay on the sofa, looking at her with longing eyes."Mom!" he called out.She reached out and gently rubbed his little head."You returned slightly late today," Robert remarked as Jessica helped him up."The kids are hungry. Go change your clothes and wash your hands to get ready for dinner!" said Jessica, her voice gentle as ever. "I'll go serve the food.""Okay!"Angeline put Yasmine down on the sofa and kissed the small faces of t
Robert waved his hand dismissively and said, "The Emmerson family isn't worth my attention. I've watched them struggle in the mud for years. If they cause trouble, eliminating them permanently is no big deal."Besides, you handled the situation well. I'm just getting old and haven't been sleeping well lately."In his younger days, Robert had weathered many storms and wouldn't let something trivial as the Emmersons disrupt his life. Crushing them was as simple as squashing an ant for him.However, he couldn't tell Angeline that he'd been worried about Sean and had been having bad dreams, which explained his lack of sleep.He had raised Sean himself. Even though he'd spoken harshly when Sean decided to return as Shane, he couldn't help but worry. Especially now, with frequent news from Keman about his aggressive tactics, Robert wondered if it was because Sean was eager to return."Granddad, I need to discuss something with you," said Angeline.She needed to tell Robert about her pl
Robert slowly leaned back against the sofa. In his heart, he didn't want Angeline to go to Keman.Noticing his hesitation, Angeline added, "I will go quickly and return as soon as possible so that nobody notices.""If you must go, go openly!" he said, looking at her. "Make your trip public. Otherwise, Dexter, who sent people to kill his brother, sister-in-law and nephew, would send men after you."As for Melissa… She has no respect for life growing up in such an environment. Helen's incident only happened recently, so the more open you are, the safer you'll be."Robert was worried about Angeline's safety.He added, "Besides, once Thomas sees the press release about your upcoming trip to Keman, he'll understand the meaning behind it and might go find you."Although Keman is small, finding someone still takes time. It would be better to let him come to you instead.""Granddad…" Angeline called out softly.He sighed and said, "Shane's actions at Kingston Empire are very aggressi
