He had reminded Angeline repeatedly not to tell Sean anything, but she had gone to Keman to tell him."I got there in time, so nothing happened!" Brayden frowned. "Am I to blame for this? How am I supposed to know how Angeline provoked Bart? She even called the police after that, and I was the one who had to clean up the mess.""Why couldn't you mind your own business? Why did you have to make an opportunity for Ned? Brayden, you've crossed the line! You have no right to stick your nose into my personal affairs!" Sean was furious.Brayden had never seen Sean lose control like this. He always had the impression that Sean wouldn't bat an eye even if the world were to end."Yes! I was being nosy! I didn't want you to trouble yourself over such a trivial thing! What should I have done instead? Should I have told Melissa that Angeline is your lover and watched her crazy lapdog kill Angeline? "Ms. Monica of Scott Incorporated, your ex-fiancée, got into a car accident! That crazy dog of

Melissa had fallen from the sixth floor and was in hospital, but it hadn't been revealed to the public yet. If Angeline already knew about it, then it must be true."What's wrong with him wanting to avenge his sister? If your family member died, wouldn't you do the same? How did Melissa get her heart? You grew up with her. Don't you know? "Do all of you think that only the upper-class' lives matter? Is everyone else just a portable storage for organs and blood to you?" she questioned. Angeline raised her voice as her breathing quickened.She suddenly realized what her goal was, so she closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing. "Brayden, do you want to make a deal with me?""I don't think this deal will benefit me in any way." Brayden sat on the couch with his legs crossed. "Your friend deserves to die for hurting Melissa! If Shane has locked him up, you and Shane will fall out anyway if he dies. "That sounds good to me! It'll help me achieve my goal, too. So why must I save h

Brayden pondered for a while before he replied, "Fine! But under one condition, Melissa must be safe and sound.""What if Melissa dies?" Angeline asked. "Then your marriage will be pointless to me!" Brayden said. "You getting married will help Shane and Melissa be together, fulfilling his mom's dying wish. That's all I asked." "But think about it, Brayden. Why would I ask and negotiate for your help if I could wait until Melissa is safe? Isn't it better for me to talk to Sean if Melissa is safe?"Given how important I am to Sean, won't he release Thomas for my sake if Melissa is safe?" Angeline pretended to sound confident, but truth be told, she was unsure. Most importantly, Angeline couldn't see Thomas, thus she was unsure if he was safe at the moment or could last until Melissa was safe. Thomas had intended to murder Melissa. But given they had imprisoned him instead of sending him to the police, he definitely didn't get the treatment he needed. Besides, Brian would ne

"Have Thomas' team keep an eye on Melissa and Shane's villa. If someone brings Tom out, follow them. Then get him straight to the airport and leave for Lonla once there's a chance," Angeline ordered. "Did Tom actually try to murder Melissa?" Danny massaged his temples. "Okay! I'll inform the team. But Angie, is Melissa dead?" "Not yet," Angeline replied. "But it's hard to say. Anyhow, let's get Tom out of here first." "Roger!" After hanging up the phone, Angeline sat on the couch and waited for updates. The transparent floor-to-ceiling window reflected Angeline's slightly confused expression. She didn't know how she and Sean came down to this, where they had to threaten each other. However, come to think of it, the thing that Angeline used to threaten Sean was something they both cared about, yet what Sean used to threaten Angeline, he didn't seem to care about as much. He didn't care about Robert, who raised him, or his sister-in-name, Jessica. He also didn't care ab

Melissa still hadn't been saved, yet Brayden had lost Thomas. If Sean found out about this, he would kill Brayden. And even if he didn't, Brayden would be filled with regret. Brayden's phone rang. He felt a shiver down his spine as he saw the number. It was Sean. Brayden pressed his lips. He didn't think about how to explain to Sean when he promised Angeline to get Thomas out, yet he still did it without considering the consequences. Because Brayden thought if Melissa was safe, he returned Thomas to Angeline, and she got married as promised, then Melissa and Sean could finally be together. But if Melissa didn't make it, he could have someone kill Thomas instead, considering Sean might let Thomas go for Angeline's sake.After all, Sean deeply loved Angeline. Who knew if he might be obsessed with her so much that if Melissa died, he might give up on avenging her and let go of Thomas?Although Brayden had yet to think about an excuse, he answered the call regardless, given
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 792
"Okay. Thanks. Please let me know if there's any update," Brayden said before hanging up the phone. He was still concerned. If Angeline did trick him and take Thomas away, he wouldn't let her go that easily. Sean knew Angeline had taken Thomas away after confirming she had left the hotel and was returning to Lonla. Sean hesitated but decided not to pursue after her. If Sean sent someone to pursue Angeline, she would definitely protect Thomas. Hence, the man he sent would undoubtedly get into a fight with Angeline, who was alone without any backing in Keman. If something were to happen to Angeline during the fight, Sean would never forgive himself. Sean could tell Angeline cared about Thomas very much. But as long as Melissa was safe, he could consider letting Thomas go, given he was friends with Angeline and had once saved Xavier. But, with the premise that Thomas never showed himself around Melissa anymore. Sean turned to look at Brian, who refused to rest. He was wait
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 793
A lowlife like Thomas was nothing to Brian.It was his sister's honor to have her heart given to Melissa. How dare he attempt to murder Melissa?Now Melissa had lost her womb and could never have her children of her own anymore. "I should've gotten rid of him back then, too!" Brian thought. But who would've thought a lowly peasant like Thomas would come to Keman and assault Melissa?Sean thought for a bit in silence before asking Brian, "We couldn't keep imprisoning him like this. I'll bring him to the police station." "No!" Brian objected. Realizing he was overreacting, he placed the water glass at his side and said, "I mean you can just give him to me. There's no need to trouble you. You're already busy with Kingston Empire. Don't be too hard on yourself." Brian patted Sean's shoulder. He genuinely cared about Sean overworking himself. Although Melissa and Sean were only married on the surface, they still lived together. When Melissa went home for dinner with Brian, she

Brayden pressed his lips and stammered, "Y-Yes.""Where is he now?" Brian asked solemnly. Brayden knew he shouldn't say Angeline had taken Thomas away. Otherwise, with Brian's love for his lone daughter Melissa, he might possibly get rid of her, too. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lane. But Shane told me not to tell anyone." Without giving Brian a chance to speak, Brayden quickly continued, "How about I call Shane and ask him to call you instead? "But don't worry, Mr. Lane. How dare this bastard dare to injure Melissa? I'll never let him off or let him die that easily!" Brian's forehead creased. "Brayden! Don't I have the right to know where that murderer who hurt my precious daughter is?" "O-Of course! Of course, you do, Mr. Lane! It's just that I'm scared Shane would beat the crap out of me! How about this? I'll call Shane right now. Then I'll call you back immediately!" Brayden said before taking out his second phone and dialing Sean's number, getting ready to call him if Brian insisted

As soon as the words were out of Angeline's mouth, the sound of lounge slippers padding across the floor rang out. Yasmine ignored the shock on Ned's face and turned to reach for Sean. "Hold me, Daddy!"Sean smiled and lifted her into his arms. Then, he stood beside Angeline and looked at Ned imperiously. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Fletcher. I'm Shane Kingston. Thank you for pushing Angie away in the past—it led to my relationship with her."Ned knew precisely who "Shane" was. Just a few days ago, he'd seen the news about Melissa's press conference explaining her relationship with "Shane".His mind buzzed. He knew Sean and Shane looked similar enough for Dexter's men to have gotten the wrong person. However, he hadn't expected "Shane" to have anything to do with Angeline!"You… Are you the kids' father?" Ned's voice was incredibly shaky."Yes, and again, thank you for that!" Sean smiled. "We've never told anyone about this because I didn't want to endanger Angie and the kids.
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 1063
Sean didn't give Angeline the chance to finish. "You were right to bring this up to me!"He wrapped his arms around her from behind and continued, "You and the kids will always be my main priority. I know I said I want Melissa to remain safe and happy under my watch, but my feelings for her are purely familial love."She's family to me, and I must care for her. But you and the kids mean more to me than anything else in the world, including her."His honesty made Angeline feel slightly more at ease. She said, "Those are your words, not mine…""I swear on my life that I mean every word." He pressed a kiss to her head. "Can I stay here tonight? I want to sleep with you and the kids. Also, I came from Brayden's place upstairs, so no one will know I'm here.""Granddad made it clear that if anyone finds out about this, he won't allow the kids to see you anymore.""Got it. Don't worry about a thing. Mr. Lawson Senior raised me, and I owe him for that. I won't put him in a tough

Angeline nodded without saying anything. Once Nathaniel was gone, she received a call from Sean."Now that everything has been taken care of, I want to give you a gift," he said, the smile in his tone evident. "Can you have the kids spend Friday night at Grand Court Residences? I want to show all three of you my gift on Saturday."He missed Yasmine and Xavier terribly. Before resolving the issue with Melissa, he hadn't dared to say he wanted to see them. Even if Angeline were okay with it, Robert probably would've objected to his wishes. Now that the dust had settled, he couldn't wait to see them."I don't call the shots regarding the kids now. I'll have to ask Granddad," Angeline said."I'll talk to him about it." Sean was worried Robert would take his anger out on her. "This all started because I insisted on being with you, so I'll handle it. I'll visit Mr. Lawson Senior later today."Angeline didn't know how Sean's conversation with Robert went, but Robert had Asher drop

That night, Melissa called Sean. "Shane, let's publicly announce our divorce. We can tell everyone that we only got married on paper so the Lane family could offer you its protection."Tell them that Dexter repeatedly tried to harm you so he could take the Kingston family fortune, and tell them how he tried to snatch you from the Lane family so he could secretly deal with you."She paused, then continued, "Now that Dexter's in prison, we can get a divorce, and Lori can adopt me as her daughter. We'll become cousins, and we'll still be a family.""Melissa…"Sean was surprised. He didn't expect her to see the light in such a short time."Since you don't have any feelings for me and won't ever make me your wife, I'll settle to be Lori's daughter. That way, you'll always be my family!" Tears streamed down Melissa's face as she spoke. "I adore Lori and want to be her daughter.""Alright," Sean said."Can you head to Keman with me, then? We can visit Dad together before getting

Melissa stared at Lori, who chuckled gently. "It's alright. There's no need to rush into anything. Take your time to think about it. Get good rest for a few days, then go shopping with me. We can buy some clothes to keep up with the changing seasons."I heard from Brayden and Sean that you're the expert in fashion and dressing up. I've always wanted a daughter who could shop, exercise, travel, café hop, and go on spa days with me."She paused and continued, "I didn't get to do any of this with you because you weren't in the best state before this. Now, though, you're all better. You're back to normal, and you've regained your memories!""I'd love that!" Melissa said without hesitation. She'd only done these things with her mother and Emelia in her dreams, but that was all they were—dreams. She was delighted now that Lori was back and willing to make her dreams come true.Sean sat on the couch and sipped his coffee. He knew Lori was doing everything she could to make his life ea

Melissa nodded. Sean said, "I know you have no company management experience. Mr. Lane might have entrusted Trustworth Group to me, but it's still yours. Before you find someone to take over, my plan for the company is still to move its focus back to Lonla."The global situation isn't the best now, and Lonla is the safest place for expansion. That's why the company's focus has to return to Lonla—""You can hand the company over to Brayden," Melissa interrupted. "The only people in this world I trust are you, Dad, and Brayden. Now that Dad's in prison and you don't want me anymore, Brayden is all I have left.""I'm still your kin, Melissa. I won't kick you to the curb and leave you to die. Nevertheless, Trustworth Group is yours. You can have whoever you want to manage it. Brayden is capable of that." Sean looked at Brayden. "What do you think? Are you willing to take over Trustworth Group?""I'll do it as long as Melissa is okay with it!" Brayden nodded. He turned to look

"That's not it! I've always been willing to care for you, and I'm more than willing to care for you in the future! It's not something that I'm forced to do…" Brayden feared his words would inadvertently hurt Melissa, so he decided not to continue in that vein.He said, "C'mon, you should head downstairs to eat something. You've already slept the day away.""I don't want to eat!" Melissa lay down again and pulled the sheets around herself. She said dully, "I want to sleep for a bit longer. Shut the door on your way out."Seeing that she'd already shut her eyes and started weeping, Brayden said softly, "I'll have the kitchen keep the food warm for you. Remember to call me when you wake up, okay? I'll be right downstairs!""Okay." Brayden left the room after hearing Melissa's muffled reply. He shut the door behind him.Melissa remained upstairs. She didn't head downstairs, even when Sean returned. Sean had already spoken to Angeline on the phone and told her he wouldn't meet

Melissa slept in her room and only woke up at night. She removed her headphones and opened her red, swollen eyes. She stared dazedly at the night sky, only returning to her senses when her headphones fell out of her hands.Brayden, who'd been waiting outside this whole time, heard them fall to the floor and hurried into the room. He saw Melissa sitting cross-legged on the bed. She propped herself on one arm while leaning down to pick up the headphones.He hurried forward and picked them up for her, then remained on one knee by the bed. He looked up at her and said, "You slept for ages, Melissa. Do you want to have anything to eat? I got all your favorites, and there are different cuisines. I also got your favorite fruits and snacks!"He'd already had the maids throw out the food he'd bought at noon. Then, he'd had his subordinate buy a fresh batch.Melissa turned to look at him dazedly. She said hoarsely, "Brayden…""I'm here," he said. "C'mon, should we get something to eat
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 1056
Melissa knew Sean well. So, it was impossible for her not to know if he was being serious. Sean was indeed threatening her, and he was using his life to do it. That way, she wouldn't dare to harm Angeline for fear of hurting him.She loved Sean so much that she could give up her life for him. She wondered why he was treating her that way. He knew she wouldn't allow even the slightest possibility of her threatening his safety.Just then, Sean received a call from Brayden. He said, "...Yeah, I've already picked Melissa up. We're heading to Southstream Manor now… Yeah, you can head over there. Buy some food on your way—Melissa probably hasn't eaten anything yet. She should be hungry."At his words, Melissa couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She covered her face and started sobbing. She'd spent her whole life dreaming of becoming Sean's wife, but he was now in love with someone else and no longer wanted her.Yet, she couldn't do anything about the situation, or she'd be hurting
