"Wait. I have something to ask you." Angeline watched Sean for a while. When she saw he didn't intend to sit, she wrapped the bathrobe tightly around herself and sat on the couch. "Are you working with Bart Doltova?"His gaze darkened at the mention of Bart. He turned to look at her. "Did Brayden tell you about him?""Do you know that Bart is involved in human and organ trafficking?" she asked.When he didn't say anything, she cut to the chase. "Was Melissa's heart purchased from Bart?""Don't you think you care about Melissa's heart way too much, Angeline?" Sean had thought so for some time now. He just hadn't pondered about the matter because she said it had to do with one of Vitality Biotech's research projects.In hindsight, there were loopholes everywhere. Even if she wanted to gather people with Rh-negative blood types for an experiment, wouldn't it be easier to get other people to help than to approach the heiress of Trustworth Group?As long as Vitality Biotech was willin
Eric and Danny leaned against the door. They were deep in conversation about something. Eric waved a hand and shook his head, gesturing for Danny to look at Thomas, who was talking to Heather. Danny immediately went in and plopped down between Heather and Thomas. He even clapped his hands and called out to Yasmine, who nestled in Heather's arms. He wanted her to move over. It was evening. The sunset glow crept in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, painting the interior a warm orange. Angeline sat there with Xavier in her arms while she listened to Yasmine playing with Danny. She gradually calmed down.When she opened her eyes again, she was in the hospital. "Ms. Lawson, you're awake!" Jamie hurriedly went up to her. Angeline's hand twitched. She saw the needle stuck in the back of her hand, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened to me?""You had a high fever of nearly 40 degrees," Jamie replied in a low voice. "I only found out when I received a call from the suite'
Angeline laughed softly. "Are you treating me like a bosom friend?""There are no real friends in life, only partners who can both benefit from a situation." Monica's voice was firm. "I'm very interested in Lawson Global's Silent Voice! I'm pretty sure our mall can join you…"Angeline was sharp and caught on immediately to what Monica was hinting at.She gathered herself. "How?""Steele Group is now letting all their business owners choose between two options. The brands who use their platform aren't allowed to join Silent Voice! However, Silent Voice is trending right now, and its popularity is increasing steadily! "Besides, I have more confidence in you. I don't think that you would do anything that would cause a loss, so… our mall will join! Once we do, all the brands who've signed contracts with us will follow suit! "The legal department of Scott Incorporated has already looked at the contracts our mall has with the business owners. Unless they no longer want to work with u
Rafael narrowed his eyes when he saw the empty ward. He put down the food he had brought and took out his phone to glance at it.The nurse saw him inside, so she came in to tell him that Angeline had already been discharged.Rafael didn't reply. Then, he left the food behind and strode out of the room with a cold expression.The nurse was rather surprised. When he had come to the hospital that morning, he had been a polite and bright man, but his current expression was grim and sinister.At 2:30 pm that day, Angeline signed the contract with the company from Keman they were collaborating with. The process was simple, and she left for the airport right after that. The car had just left the building of the company when Rafael appeared out of nowhere and blocked Angeline's car.Rafael had a backpack, and he looked bright like always. He stood beside the car and knocked on the window.Angeline looked up from the documents she was reading on her tablet and wound down the window slig
When she saw the scheduled message Thomas had sent, Angeline felt a chill run through her body, and she shivered. "Stop by the roadside!" Angeline put down her laptop and called Thomas, but his phone was off.Angeline felt her heart leap into her throat. She looked at the message he had sent her and gritted her teeth. Then, she called the number Sean had used the first time he had gone to visit Melissa when she was in hospital. The phone rang for a long time before someone finally picked up."Hello…" When Angeline heard Sean's tired, hoarse voice, she gripped the phone tightly and said, "It's me. Can we meet for a short while?""I'm a little busy right now. Can we meet tomorrow?" Sean said gently.Angeline closed her eyes and asked, "Did something happen to Melissa?"Sean fell silent for a moment. He thought of how Angeline had been too concerned about Melissa's heart and how the man they had caught at dawn had screamed so desperately that Melissa should die. That man had sa
"His sister died. Melissa has his sister's heart. Thomas and his sister, Tina, grew up together. They were very close. Tina was still healthy and alive when someone dug her heart out! How could he not be filled with hatred?" Angeline said, "If it were me, I would've gone to kill Melissa too!""You came to Keman for him?" Sean looked up. His eyes were bloodshot from a sleepless night, and the folds of his eyelids were creased deeply, making his eyes look even more deep-set than usual."Yes. I came here to stop him from committing murder. I promised him to investigate this incident and make sure the one who murdered his sister would be punished by law," Angeline said.Sean leaned back against the couch and looked up silently at Angeline.Angeline's fists clenched on both sides, and she exhaled deeply. "Sean, he saved our son's life. We owe it to him!""Melissa doesn't owe him anything. The heart went to her through perfectly normal procedures! If you had investigated it properly, yo
Angeline had to admit that she wouldn't."You can't use that as an example. Firstly, my grandfather and mother didn't hurt anyone! Secondly, don't you know them? They wouldn't hurt anyone for their own benefit."Sean leaned back against the couch. He pressed his lips together and said nothing, but it was already clear that he wouldn't let Thomas go."Hand him over to the police, then," Angeline said. "If you insist on seeking justice for Melissa.""Since you know about Bart, you must have some evidence," Sean spoke slowly. "Give me the evidence, and I promise he'll be alive until Melissa is out of danger."Sean didn't want Angeline to get involved in anything that could threaten her safety."Would you want him dead if anything were to happen Melissa?" she asked. Sean's brow furrowed tightly. "Brian would want him dead! Of course, I would have the same opinion."There weren't many people Sean cared about in the world. Melissa had grown up with him, and when everyone had said th
Angeline closed her eyes. She looked at how determined Sean was to keep Thomas locked up because of Melissa, and she sat down opposite him."Let's make a deal." She looked at him. "Hand Tom over to me, and I'll give you the evidence. I'll take Tom back to Lonla and keep an eye on him. I won't let him appear near Melissa again, so he won't be able to threaten her safety!""Angie, Melissa was stabbed four times, and she fell from the sixth floor." Sean's breathing was unsteady. His dark eyes were clearly filled with suppressed anger. "She isn't out of danger yet! Do you think I can hand him over to you right now? He'd better be praying that Melissa will be alright!""Alright, I understand. It doesn't matter whether Tom once saved your son or not. It's not important to you at all. If Melissa dies, you'll make sure Tom dies, too! You won't even hand him to the police because you know very well how Melissa got her heart."You're afraid that the police will find Bart, and you have a co
