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
Admittedly, it was rare for Robert to see someone holding onto their love this loyally in that day's materialistic society. Still, he didn't think anyone should ever live in their imaginative bubble. He believed that everyone should face reality. How could it be love if a man only expressed his love through words, not actions, and made his woman wait for him?He wondered what would happen if Angeline waited for decades and received nothing in return. Robert sighed before saying, "That Melissa… She was Sean's childhood friend and now his wife. Who knows if he'll fall in love with her as they live together?"Now that Sean and Melissa were officially married, Angeline would never know what they did behind closed curtains.If Sean did something that might upset Angeline, she would never find out about it as long as he kept it from her. Robert's biggest worry was that Angeline might wait foolishly for Sean for the rest of her life. In the past, Robert only took Angeline as his
Kieron had created the WhatsApp group for their previous trip. Angeline creased her brows while reading through the messages in the car. She understood the rough summary of the events. Monica's car brake malfunctioned as she returned from inspecting the demolition progress. Fortunately, her experienced driver drove their car to a remote place and sideswiped the wall to bring the car to a stop. When the car was flipped over, Monica was in the backseat with her seatbelt on, narrowly escaping the disaster. While Monica was headed to the hospital, her car was taken away for maintenance. It was found that the brake had been tampered with. Monica immediately rushed back to the Scott residence and confronted Hiram. The Scott sisters' fight for their inheritance rights was no secret to anyone. Yet, Hiram would never allow them to harm his flesh and blood for the sake of the inheritance. Hiram immediately called the other sisters to stop their work and return home, which confused Grac
Melissa had tears streaming down her face as she shook her head. She had one hand clutching her chest while the other wrapped tightly around Sean's neck. At that moment, Angeline felt her body become petrified. She questioned if she had indeed heard Melissa say "our child"."Please, Melissa. Listen to me. Your health is more important than the baby's." Sean worriedly comforted Melissa. "No! I don't care!" Melissa looked like she was experiencing unbearable heartache, as her face was pale and drenched in sweat and tears. Her arm was still wrapped tightly around Sean's neck. "I-I must protect our baby! Please, Shane. I'm begging you! Tell the doctor to save our baby! Save our baby that we tried so hard to conceive!" Jamie was so worried about Angeline that he quickly pushed her through the hospital entrance. The door cut off Melissa's loud bawl, yet Angeline could hear Sean comforting Melissa. "Our baby came at the wrong time. But there's always next time, Melissa! We'
