Chapter 794

Author: Jean Summer
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

    Since Angeline had asked Sean to take Thomas back before, it would make sense he would send someone after her when Thomas was missing. Besides, Brayden knew Angeline had taken Thomas away. So, if he wanted to take Thomas back, he would definitely go after her, too. Although they changed into another car midway, it only slowed their progress of finding him without guaranteeing they could safely arrive at the airport. Angeline helped Thomas buckle his seatbelt before buckling herself and asked, "Could you go faster? We're almost at the airport!" Jamie clenched onto his seatbelt. His breathing quickened slightly. Seeing the car following behind speeding toward them, the driver accelerated. Angeline held onto Thomas, who struggled to hold his hand on the driver's seat before him. He said weakly in a husky voice, "They're coming for me. Just leave me at the roadside, Angie. I can't drag you into another mess anymore!" "I said I'll help you. What are you worrying about?" Angeli

    Angeline's palms were sweaty. She would never let Sean take Thomas away, no matter what it took. As the driver accelerated, his heart rate increased to 180 beats per minute. The pursuers were also telling their drivers to drive faster. If they let Thomas reach the airport, they would never catch him with just the three of them.They had contacted the other allies to help, but they would never make it in time. The three pursuers saw the airport at a distance. Just when they thought Thomas had gotten away and thought about how to explain to Brayden, they saw a Hummer rammed toward Angeline's car, knocking it over and turning it upside down. The pursuers slammed on the brake. They saw the Hummer stopped beside Angeline's car, and the passenger rolled down the window to look before making a phone call. The passenger then glanced at them before speeding away. The three pursuers were shocked and looked at each other. Then the driver, Stan, asked, "What do we do?" "We should call

    "But Mr. Kingston will investigate this! Didn't we find that Mr. Kingston has been taking care of Ms. Lawson because he owed the Lawson family a favor?" Callum whispered. "Mr. Kingston is a loyal and righteous man. If he finds out something happened to Ms. Lawson, I don't think he'll—""Yes, Shane is loyal and righteous, just like his father," Brian interrupted with his eyebrows furrowed. "It's Ms. Lawson's fault for meddling in this! But our people had confirmed she was shielded in the car. Also, Brayden's men were behind them, too. So they wouldn't let anything happen to Ms. Lawson! "Regardless, I'll never let go of that man who almost killed my daughter! If all else fails, we can always have Brayden take the blame as a last resort. We have nothing to do with this.""Understood, Mr. Lane!" Callum replied.… Angeline, Jamie, Thomas, and the driver were sent to the nearest hospital around the airport. Brayden circled the room in panic after receiving the news. He didn't know h

    After all, Melissa needed Sean more than Angeline needed him currently. As compared to Melissa, Angeline only had minor injuries. Besides, it was Thomas' fault that Melissa had lost her kid and ability to conceive.After hanging up the phone, Brayden clenched his fist, cursing for Thomas to be dead. But when he remembered his promise to Angeline, he changed his mind and wanted Thomas to stay alive. After contacting the bodyguards, Jamie then contacted Asher. Asher and Robert knew Angeline had gone to Keman for her friend, Thomas. After hearing from Jamie about the horrifying incident they had gone through that day, Robert became restless and immediately left for Keman after settling everything in the house. The trip from Krontos to Keman was short. Angeline was awake and listening to Jamie's update about Thomas' condition when Robert arrived. "Granddad? Why are you here?" Angeline asked in surprise. Robert pursed his lips before he questioned, "What did I tell you before y

    "It wasn't me. My men were the ones who saw the car accident and sent you all to the hospital. So technically speaking, I've saved your life." Brayden was dissatisfied with Angeline's attitude. "I heard that Gardner dude came out of the operation alive. Are you happy now?" Angeline didn't reply to Brayden. Instead, she asked, "If it wasn't you, was it Shane?" It was the first time Brayden heard Angeline refer to Sean as Shane this coldly. He furrowed his brows. "His subordinates acted inconsiderately. It was out of Shane's control! Aren't you safe and alive now? Why are you so mad? If your friend didn't try to kill Melissa, would all of these have happened? "Do you know Melissa had lost her kid, and she can never conceive anymore? Do you know how much pain Melissa is going through right now? Did you do it on purpose, Angeline? You know Melissa had Shane's baby, so you sent your friend to cause trouble? Also, if you hadn't taken your friend away from me, all of these wouldn't have

    This also meant that even if Melissa had chosen Tina and had someone kill her to take her heart, Sean would still protect Melissa. It was the same for Angeline. She couldn't stop Thomas from avenging his sister just to make herself feel at ease, nor could she not do anything to save Thomas, who had once saved her son. The endless hatred between Thomas and Melissa made Angeline and Sean go against each other. Angeline even believed Sean would choose Melissa over her if he had the choice. However, Angeline had nothing else to threaten Brayden with, so she had no choice. Judging from how Brayden went silent, Angeline knew he felt threatened. "Are you sure you're breaking up with Shane just because of a friend?" Brayden asked curiously."It's easy for you to get Thomas back to Lonla safely, right?" Angeline asked without answering Brayden's question. "Yeap, very easy!" Brayden nodded. "Alright, that's a deal!" Based on Angeline's tone and attitude, Brayden knew Angeline ha

    "Got it," Danny replied. Angeline didn't tell Danny about her car accident. After the check-ups, Robert quickly left for Lonla with Angeline without wasting more time staying in Keman. In the private jet, Robert reminded Asher, "Try to suppress the news of the car accident. Luckily, Angie was fine. Just let the media take her photos at the airport and tell them she had returned after signing the contract." "Don't worry, Mr. Lawson Senior. I've arranged everything," Asher replied. "So? Are you sure you're not handing your friend to the police?" Robert looked at Angeline with glowing eyes. "The international law enforcement agency, Globice, has been following this case," Angeline said. "I had someone send the evidence to them already, but it'll take time for the registration and negotiation of a cross-border investigation. So Thomas is currently being guarded by our people." Robert nodded. "You should've let the police handle it in the beginning. No need to look into it yours

    "Okay, Granddad," Angeline replied. After Robert left for his seat at the front of the private jet, Asher spread open a blanket and covered Angeline's feet. "You should rest now." "Thank you, Mr. Millstone!" Angeline smiled at Asher before looking up and said, "By the way, Asher, could you tell Jamie to go home after we land? Poor Jamie got startled because of me." "Okay, let me handle this," Asher replied, smiling. Angeline was left alone in this quiet space. She closed her eyes, and the scene of her parting unhappily with Sean flashed in her mind. She remembered her threatening Sean not to force her to contact Bart. And she remembered Sean threatening her not to force him to send Thomas to meet Tina in hell. As Angeline's eyes remained closed, the scene of Sean slamming the door and leaving flashed in her mind. Angeline once thought the toughest thing standing between her and Sean was merely her waiting for him or him not being there when she needed him. She thought

    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.

    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

    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
