"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
Angeline was tired. She pinched between her eyes before tugging herself into the blanket to nap. She wanted a relationship where she was his only one without a third party involved, and she learned about this from her relationship with Ned. She could wait for Sean and could always let go of him. Angeline had also learned from her relationship with Ned that one must know how to let go of a relationship when a third party was involved. Otherwise, it would affect the person she loved the most. When Brian left the hospital and got in the car, he wiped his tears with his handkerchief. His daughter, Melissa, whom he treasured more than anything else, had lost so much weight. Melissa didn't worry about almost dying as much. Instead, she was more concerned about losing her kid. If she found out the kid wasn't Sean's but someone else's, no one knew if she could handle this truth.Brian's eyes darkened as he folded up his handkerchief, which was a gift from Melissa. Then, he put i
Sean's mind buzzed. Without explaining that he didn't send someone to assassinate Thomas, he hung up on Brayden before turning into a secluded staircase to call Angeline. As no one answered the phone call, Sean kept calling her. His heart was palpitating and filled with unease. After countless calls, the phone call was finally answered. "Angie—" Sean didn't notice how hoarse his voice was. "It's me." Robert's deep voice came from the other side of the phone. Sean pressed his lips. "Angie is asleep. I saw the phone ringing, so I picked it up for her," Robert said. Because Angeline was afraid that her kids and Jessica might be worried after seeing her injury, Robert sent Angeline back to Grand Court Residences. After making sure Angeline had settled down and fallen asleep, Robert was about to take a last look at her before he left. It was then he saw Angeline's phone on the bedside table kept vibrating. He could tell it was Sean after taking a look at the number. Robert
