Sean wasn't even in Angeline's ward for five minutes when he was chased away. His smile faded as he entered the elevator, and then he ordered Wilfred, "Check when Ms. Lawson arrived in Showal last night and the time she was admitted into the hospital." "Yes, Mr. Kingston!" Sean's driver drove the car to the hospital entrance. Wilfred quickly opened the back seat door for Sean. However, Sean walked toward the driver's side and knocked on the window, signaling the driver to step out of the vehicle. "You didn't sleep well last night, Mr. Kingston. You should let the driver send you home while you rest!" Wilfred advised. "Get out," Sean said with furrowed brows. The driver unbuckled his seat belt and exited the car, allowing Sean to enter the driver's seat. He stepped on the pedal and drove off until he reached a section where he could stop. Then, he called Angeline's phone. However, Angeline's phone was busy for the entire time. When it finally got through, Angeline answer
"The doctor said you can't get pregnant with your current health, Mrs. Kingston. Yet, you're insisting on giving birth to this baby?" Angeline laughed. "I'm sure you and Mr. Kingston will still have children in the future, Mrs. Kingston. Why are you so insistent on keeping this one?"Melissa tightened her grip on her stomach. "I'm afraid he's lying to me! He refused to let me get pregnant before this because he was afraid my body wouldn't be able to handle it. This baby… I had to pull some tricks to conceive it. I'm not afraid of dying—I just want to leave him with our child!"Melissa gave a determined look. Melissa once told Sean she didn't mind him keeping Monica in his heart. She only wanted to have Sean's child, yet he never even touched her. So, she drugged both her and Sean. Lo and behold, she indeed fell pregnant. She didn't know if Sean might consider staying for the child's sake after he had completed his revenge plan once Melissa gave birth.Melissa was ecstati
It would be difficult for Thomas to investigate the matter from the bottom up, but Dexter could change that. Things would be much easier if he could provide an avenue for Thomas to look into the matter from the very top.Angeline discussed the battery plant's location with the government department in charge. Then, she met with the senior executives of the partnering company. When it got too late, she postponed the site visit to the following day.It was already nighttime when she returned to the hotel. She knew Dexter's people had been following her since she'd left the hotel—he was deathly afraid of her secretly having anything to do with Sean.Angeline's phone vibrated. She answered it when she saw it was Danny calling. "Hello?""Did you manage to see Tom?""Not yet. Word about me being in Keman is already out. He should approach me soon after hearing about it." She felt a little tired."You sound exhausted, boss. Maybe I should head there, too.""No, don't." Angeline s
"I'm not a god, Sean, nor can I read your mind. I told you that I'm open to listening to your explanation." Angeline's expression was calm, but her fingers were cold to the touch. "If you're lying to me because you're worried I'll expose your identity after our breakup, I can assure you that you don't need to."I still need to protect the Lawson family and Lawson Global. More importantly, I don't want your freak of a wife to know that we used to be involved. I wouldn't want to end up in an accident like Monica did.""What?" Sean looked nonplussed."Your ex-fiancée, Monica Scott, got into an accident yesterday. I suspect Melissa has something to do with it." Angeline didn't hide her suspicions."That's impossible. Melissa is willful and a little ruthless, but she's only like that to her enemies." Sean didn't sound too confident. He thought about how Melissa had probed him and how the psycho hadn't been by her side recently.Angeline clenched her fist around the recorder.
"Two days," Sean said."Is that enough? I'll give you three. I hope the so-called evidence you show me then will be enough to convince me," Angeline said.His grip tightened on her shoulders. He could see the mistrust in her eyes behind the smile. There were even traces of mockery.They stared into each other's eyes for a while before Angeline looked away. She removed Sean's hands from her shoulders and headed to the couch. "I asked Dexter to hand someone over to me to take the fall for your 'death', so I could avenge you."He called me today to say he's giving that person some time to settle matters with his family. He'll hand the guy to me at the beginning of next month. You can take him away then.""I'll show you proof in three days!"Angeline clenched her fist tightly around the recorder as she watched Sean slam the door behind him. At the moment, she genuinely had no idea who else she could trust besides her blood relatives.Sean had comforted Melissa and told her they wo
Sean was put in a lousy mood by Angeline's indifference. He held her face and kissed her, pushing his way into the hotel room and kicking the door shut behind him.His tongue slipped past her defenses, and he pushed her back until she was pinned to the wall. One of her shoes fell off, and her ankle throbbed from their movements.Angeline frowned deeply while holding herself steady against the wall behind her. She stood there, stiff and tense, as Sean pulled her tongue into a dance with his. She slowly clenched her fists.Sensing her resistance, he bit her lip. Yet she remained silent as if she didn't even feel the pain.He released her and looked into her eyes, which were devoid of desire. He traced the corner of her lips with his finger and pressed a feather-light kiss there.Angeline didn't dodge him, but she didn't respond, either. It wasn't like how they typically were. She would usually show some sort of response no matter how shy she felt.Sean said, "I'll show you proof."
When Jamie knocked on Angeline's door to tell her it was for the battery plant visit, the latter had already gotten dressed and ended a brief meeting with Gary.Jamie asked, "Should I order room service for you, or would you like to eat at the restaurant?""Let's go to the restaurant. Is Kerri already up? If she is, we can leave after eating together." Angeline put on her coat."Ms. Lloyd and Mr. Webb are already at the restaurant.""Alright. Let's go."Kerri and Hanson had arrived at Keman before Angeline, so they'd already spoken to the partnering company. Angeline had yet to do so because she'd been hospitalized on the first day she arrived and had yet to recover entirely on her second.The three of them exchanged notes on the person in charge in Keman during breakfast. They agreed to leave after finishing breakfast. Just then, someone approached them and stood by their table."Angie…"Angeline looked up. She was taken aback to see Ned. She'd instructed her bodyguards to s
"Can't you give me a chance to start over?" Ned sounded choked up as his eyes turned red. He sat down beside Angeline again. "Everything we had before I lost my memories… Doesn't that mean anything to you? You refused to give up on me when I forgot about you, right?"You said you were worried I would be sad when I woke up and found you gone. I'm back now, and I'm miserable. You understand that the guy who lost his memories wasn't me, right? Please, don't push the blame for what he did onto me. You have no idea how aggrieved it makes me.""Fancy running into you here, Ms. Lawson!" someone called from behind.Ned turned around. Then, his eyes widened in shock. "Uncle Sean?"Sean smiled faintly at Ned before joining him and Angeline at the table. "'Uncle Sean?' Are you referring to the late Mr. Sean Lawson of Lawson Global? Do we really look that alike, Ms. Lawson?"If we do, I'm sure you're aware of how he died. If that's the case… Why did you give up on working with me and
