"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
"Also, the guy who injured Melissa is Angie's friend. Even if you don't consider this for Angie's sake or the fact that he once saved Xavier's life, his sister died because of Melissa. He just wanted revenge for his sister. Isn't it too much that you want to end his life? "I don't remember teaching you about this. So reflect upon this yourself!" Robert hung up the phone before turning around and realizing Angeline was standing by the bedroom door. Robert was stunned. With one hand holding his crutch, he put Angeline's phone on the table. "Why are you awake?" "Granddad, did you say your body…" Angeline panicked. "I've seen all your health reports. So why did you say… Were the reports Mr. Millstone gave me wrong?" Robert didn't want Angeline to worry too much and replied, "It's not a big deal. As long as you all don't cause any trouble to me, I can live for another few years!" Angeline pressed her lips. "Go to sleep!" Robert said. "I'll be leaving, too. Your mom and I will ta
"If Tom hasn't acted rashly, we might've collected more evidence. Then, we'll be more confident!" Danny said."You can't blame Tom. He was triggered after watching some videos. I know how he feels!" Angeline replied. Angeline had the same feeling when she saw Henrietta's videos. She wanted to kill those bastards but she wasn't as capable as Thomas. Even if she were to risk her life, there was no way she could harm those people in the slightest. "I know, but he could've discussed it with us before taking action so we wouldn't be caught off guard by him." Danny sighed. "What terrified me was that you got involved! If something happened to you, what would Xavier and Yasmine do?" "Ding dong!"Angeline stood up with her brows furrowed when she heard the doorbell. "Alright, let's leave it at that. I'm hanging up.""Who is it at this hour? Are you hiding a man, boss?" Danny asked. "No! Don't talk nonsense. Hanging up now!" After ending the call, Angeline walked to the surveillanc
"There's something I need to ask you," Sean said. Brian peeked at the folder on Sean's hand before signaling Usman to leave. Usman left after nodding at Sean as a greeting. He thoughtfully closed the door for them. "Have a seat, Shane!" Brian pointed at the couch opposite Sean before sitting down himself. As both of them sat on the couch, Sean said, "Mr. Lane, I have something here that shows Melissa's heart belongs to that man's sister." Brian looked at Sean. He knew Sean was referring to Thomas, who had almost killed his dear daughter. Sean placed the document on the table and pushed it toward Brian. "Mr. Lane, let that man go, please! You killed his sister to take her heart for Melissa. Just let go of the brother of the heart's original owner!" If Sean came to Brian with the documents, this meant Sean had found out about it. The lingering uneasiness in Brian's heart faded, and a determined look filled his eyes. "No! I won't risk Melissa's future! This man wants to aven
"Then, can you just be with Melissa? After all, you and Melissa are childhood friends…"Brian still wanted to fight for his daughter, but Sean interrupted, "Please, Mr. Lane. Melissa is just a sister to me. I can't see her as my wife. I've already said this back when my parents were alive, and you adults used to joke about the two of us. Melissa will always be my sister, whom I cherish for my life! "Don't worry, Mr. Lane. Whatever happens, Melissa will always be my younger sister. As her brother, I'll always protect her." Brian's expression remained stern when he heard Sean's words. Instead, the corners of his eyes reddened. "But Shane, you know Melissa is deeply in love with you. She can't live without you after I pass away! "Be honest, Shane. Are you still thinking about your fianceé when you were Sean Lawson?" Sean recalled Monica's car accident. He knew what Brian could do for Melissa exactly. If Sean admitted it, no one knew what Brian might do to Monica. Brian and Meli
