Angeline remained silent, and Nathaniel continued, "I don't know what Kieron is doing. He's indecisive and keeps going back and forth with his marriage. Do you know that these days when you aren't around, they say Kieron is marrying Lara? "But lo and behold, he's pursuing a new rising starlet. Every day, he visits her at the film sets or invests money in her, causing quite a stir! And then Grandpa is scolding me again…"Angeline could sense that Nathaniel was probing something from his words. She smiled and looked at him. "What you're trying to say is that you need my help to persuade Mr. Hooper Senior?" Nathaniel put on a wide grin. "If you can bring your kids to deal with Grandpa, I'm sure he'll be happier!" "Mr. Hooper Senior tried to matchmake us back then because Sean was still in Lawson Global. It would be a marriage alliance between Lawson Global and Hooper Group if we dated each other."But now that Sean is gone and I'm managing Lawson Global, why would Mr. Hooper Senio
Without waiting for Sean's answer, Angeline continued, "Aren't you worried something might happen if you just call me like this? Didn't you have Brayden give me another phone, telling me to contact you with this? "If you're just here to ask such a trivial thing like my injury, I don't think you should risk yourself to call me. After all, who knows if Dexter may know who you're calling?" If it had been like the past when they used to be at odds, Sean would think Angeline cared about him. But right now, something sounded off when Angeline said these. "Angie, isn't it enough that I called Mr. Lane right before you for an explanation? Melissa's child wasn't mine! As for your friend…" Sean pressed his lips before continuing, "Can we just let it pass, Angie? Melissa is no longer in danger now, and I heard your friend is returning to Lonla tomorrow." "Did the Keman police tell you about the evidence?" Angeline asked. "Or did you get your hands on that evidence? So, does that mean yo
Angeline's voice grew increasingly cold as she said, "I met Tom three months after giving birth to Xavier and Yasmine. It was around that time I promised to help him avenge his sister."I couldn't foresee the future and knew beforehand that you had a childhood sweetheart named Melissa. So, it's impossible that I'd get involved with Tom early on just to compete with your dear Melissa!"Sean, I had never stopped to argue with Ingrid even when she was standing before me, let alone someone like Melissa."Sean's heart was pained by her words as though he had been stabbed by a knife. When she heard the disconnected tone from the other end of the call, she placed her phone aside and opened her laptop. With her glasses on, she stared at the blinking cursor on the screen for a long time without making any progress.After that phone call, it seemed like the two had plunged into an icy cold lake.…The next day, Thomas was transferred back to the country and admitted to a hospital under V
At the moment, Sean couldn't just abandon Melissa, given that she was now frail after losing their child. It would be an easy choice for him if Angeline were to break up with him and get married to someone else now, especially when he was feeling guilty toward Melissa.Considering the doctor's report, Brayden figured Melissa would likely need to stay in the hospital for over a month. Besides, Angeline's wedding wouldn't be held in a rush since she was after all a Lawson and the vice president of Lawson Group.Hence, he said, "How about a month? Is that enough time?"In fact, she did have some potential marriage partners. Nathaniel was a very suitable candidate. Recently, his words had implied that they weren't getting any younger and that a marriage alliance for family interests would be ideal.However, she had her considerations. Rachel was a lunatic.Even though Rachel was currently in prison, she would be released soon. If she found out that Angeline and Nathaniel had married
If Angeline told Danny that she made a marriage deal with Brayden to ensure Thomas' safe return, his big mouth would eventually let the news slip to Thomas.She was planning to tell Thomas about this matter. She needed him to understand how his life was saved and make it clear that he couldn't risk his life so easily in the future. Otherwise, she would have to pay a high price to clean up after him.However, this wasn't the right time to tell him."Excuse my rudeness, but is Mr. Lawson Senior about to…" Danny asked with a frown."You're way too presumptuous. Granddad is fine!" she said, glancing at him. "I just want to put his mind at ease. That's all.""Then… what about the man you've been hiding?" he questioned.She smiled but didn't answer.Thinking back to her earlier remark about her poor judgment of men, Danny had a vague suspicion. Not wanting to touch on a possibly sensitive topic, he decided not to press further.Seeing her lower her head to eat, he pretended not to ca
"Did you settle things with Mr. Quilton?" Angeline asked, recalling the night when Nathaniel mentioned pre-installing Silent Voice on their new flagship phones and offering a membership promotion."Yes, we did, but Mr. Quilton is really stingy. He's only offering a one-year membership. However, if members want to renew, they'll get a half-price discount when they continue using our phones. If they switch to a new phone, they still get another year of membership," Nathaniel said with a laugh."With how quickly phones are updated nowadays, Mr. Quilton's approach practically ensures that our future phones will have his app pre-installed. He really knows how to do business.""That's a smart move." She chuckled. "I might need to give Mr. Quilton a raise!""That won't be necessary. I'm annoyed with him right now. How about… you treat me to a meal to calm my anger?" he suggested."Sure, you pick the time.""I'm free today. Make it today then!"As he spoke, Angeline heard a knock on the
Nathaniel had wanted to find ways to make Rachel's time in prison more comfortable, but Jeremy warned him not to intervene if he didn't want her to suffer in prison instead.This made him abandon any plans to help her, though he occasionally had friends keep an eye on her.Hearing this, Angeline smiled, locked her phone screen, and looked up.She said, "Just based on that, I couldn't choose you even if it were a business marriage. You still care about Rachel, and she's a lunatic."If we got married, can you imagine how she would react? I don't care about myself, but my children can't be threatened. Do you understand?"Nathaniel patiently explained, "If Sean were still around, I think Mr. Lawson Senior would accept you not marrying for life. But… Sean is no longer here, Angeline. You will have to marry for an alliance someday."The Steele and Lawson families have always been at odds, so an alliance is unlikely. The Scott family has three daughters, and you're the only one left in
Although Kieron was from the prestigious Steele family in Krontos, his status was still different from Nathaniel's.Nathaniel was the undisputed heir of the Hooper family, whereas, in the Steele family, Harrison was still the man in power. Kieron's father, uncle, and other relatives were all vying for the family inheritance.In the past, Monica had been engaged to Sean, the sole heir of the Lawson family. This elevated her status within Scott Incorporated significantly even though Lawson Global had not provided her with any benefits due to her status as Sean's fiancée.While a union between the Scotts and Hoopers would benefit both parties, Lara didn't want Monica to be connected to the confirmed heir of the family, as it would significantly hinder her own chances of competing for the inheritance of Scott Incorporated."This arrangement would benefit Lawson Global as well," Lara replied with a smile. "Of course, I'm telling you this mainly because I want to continue working with yo
