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
Angeline was indeed disappointed and hurt by Sean getting Melissa pregnant, but she hadn't forgotten that he'd helped her in the past. If not for him, she probably would've died while still in a coma.And so, she wouldn't stand in his way and make things hard for him when it came to important matters. In fact, she was more than willing to help him.Ned saw how "Shane" was completely different from Sean in terms of his actions and demeanor despite their identical faces. He looked at Angeline with concern. "Will you be in danger, Angie?""It's none of your business." She glanced at her phone and signaled for Jamie, who'd been waiting for her cue, that they could get going."Angie!" Ned wanted to hold her, but she stopped him with a look. He clenched his fists, looking like he was about to cry. "What do I have to do to get you back?"She smiled and moved her coat to her other arm. "Perhaps you could try experiencing everything that I went through. Experience the humiliation
"What about Melissa Lane?" Thomas gnashed his teeth at the mention of her. "She's the one who picked Tina! She's using Tina's heart! I abducted the person who treated Tina like she was a product. He told me Melissa picked Tina because she thought her heart would be as pretty as she was."She said no one else's heart deserved to have a place in her body. She's the one who killed Tina!" Thomas became choked up at this point."Do you have proof?" Angeline asked."No!" He gripped the wheel tightly. "I already had the guy—he told me he was willing to testify, but then he was murdered! If I hadn't run out of options, I wouldn't have asked Eric for help in shaking those assassins off.""What if the guy only told you Melissa picked Tina because he wanted to get off scot-free? He could've done it because he was sure you wouldn't be able to reach Melissa!"Her bodyguards would've stopped you even if you'd gone after her. They would've captured you!" Angeline said seriously. "He
Silence descended upon the car as Thomas continued driving. He said despondently, "You're too naive, Angeline. You managed to avenge Henrietta because you're the founder of Vitality Biotech and a Lawson. Do you think Tommy would've gotten what he deserved if you were still Angeline Emmerson?""You're not wrong. I'm the founder of Vitality Biotech and a Lawson, so there's no 'ifs' there." Angeline held Thomas' shoulder. "That's why I can help you avenge Tina once we get evidence!"He pulled over at her destination. "I've never owed anyone anything in my life, Angeline, but you're the exception. You pulled me out of darkness, so I owe you. I'll listen to you."Back in the day, Thomas had run amok while searching for Tina's murderer. The head of a gang had captured him, and Angeline had paid the guy 3.5 million dollars to get him back. If not for her, he would've already died, let alone be able to avenge Tina."I'm helping you because we've both lost our sisters, Tom. And it's
"I did find out a few other things, actually…" Danny pursed his lips. "I just don't want Tom to take the risk because it involves powerful people in other regions.""I understand you couldn't tell him about this, but couldn't you have told me? Would you have kept this from me forever if I hadn't asked?" Angeline questioned, trying to keep her anger under control. "Send me whatever you have."She hung up, feeling irritated beyond belief. She massaged her throbbing temples and commanded, "Pull over."When she got out of the car, the first thing she felt was the sea breeze. She leaned against the car and looked through the information Danny had sent. Jamie gestured for the bodyguards to back up a little as he hovered around the car's trunk so he wasn't too far away.Danny had followed a clue Thomas had given up on and investigated upward. He discovered a few human trafficking syndicates in the black market that had perfected their modus operandi. He'd also found that the syndi
When Rafael saw Angeline head toward the elevators, he ran over to his suitcase and grabbed it before following her. "Are you sure you're okay? A head injury can be pretty serious, you know."The elevator arrived at the first floor. Before Angeline could enter, a drunken man staggered out and tripped on his own feet. He caught himself on the elevator's door and puked."Watch out!" Rafael pulled Angeline to him and swiveled to shield her in his arms.The drunken man's vomit splashed over Rafael's leg. When the hotel's staff saw this, they quickly informed their colleagues about it and ran to the elevator.At that moment, the opposite elevator opened with a ding to reveal Sean leaning lazily against the railing while loosening his tie. He saw Angeline and Rafael surrounded by a group of bodyguards. Rafael even had his arms around Angeline. His gaze landed on Angeline, who was holding onto Rafael's arm.Rafael looked down at her. "Are you okay, ma'am?"She frowned. The hotel's
"Do you think I'll allow any man near you, Angie?" Sean stood behind Angeline, his voice hoarse from the cigarette. His tone was somewhat menacing. "That hug at the elevators was already crossing the line.""What right do you have to scold me for crossing the line?" She turned to stare him in the eye. "You didn't think about crossing the line when you showed up before the media with your arms around Melissa. Heck, you didn't even think about crossing the line when you got her pregnant!"Now, you're calling me out for having a young man shield me from something? Who are you to me? What right do you have to get mad at me for crossing a stupid line?""I'm your husband! Why do you refuse to believe Melissa's child isn't mine?" Sean snapped."You're her husband! I'm not blind, Sean. She loves you! Besides, I was there when you told her about your child with her!" Angeline raised her voice."Are you telling me not to believe myself when I heard you telling her you would have m
