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

Angeline raised her eyebrow."I want to have a child with my husband!" Melissa yelled. She demanded in her nasal, yet determined voice, "If you can cultivate the ova and fulfill my wish, I'll comply with your request."Angeline would have to be a fool not to understand the implications of her words. Melissa, having lost her uterus, wanted Vitality Biotech Group to help cultivate ova from her stem cells.She wanted someone else to carry and give birth to a child that would be hers and Sean's."Mrs. Kingston, this is illegal…""The laws vary from country to country. You can do it in an overseas lab! Besides, I have the money, so legality doesn't matter. Name your price, and I'll pay it!" Melissa said nonchalantly.Indeed, in her eyes, the law meant nothing. All she saw was her own desires."I'm sorry. I can't agree to that," Angeline firmly refused."Didn't you always want me to cooperate with your Rh-negative blood type experiment? How dare you refuse me?" Melissa was infuriated

"Don't get angry! It's my fault. I got too anxious seeing Melissa's vital signs spike." Sean sighed. "I've already convinced the Lane family not to pursue Thomas' assault on Melissa any further."Can we end it here? She knows nothing, and I don't plan to tell her. Let her believe that Thomas is already dead. Can you stop as well?"Hearing the fatigue in Sean's voice, Angeline replied, "As long as your pursuit of Tom ends here, we can also let it go. I don't want my friend risking his life either. But, as I've said before, I'll use legal means to ensure the guilty are punished.""Angeline!" Sean's voice was strained as he questioned, "Are you driven by a strong sense of justice, or are you targeting Melissa out of spite?"Angeline was momentarily taken aback by his words. She pressed her lips together before she said emotionlessly, "Shane Kingston, wasn't I clear enough last time? I've known Tom long before I knew of Melissa's existence. I'm not holding a grudge. I'm seeking justice
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 821
Although Angeline had Eric hand over all the evidence to the police, she could deduce the entire situation based on the incomplete evidence chain.She said, "I lost a sister too, so I know what it feels like. I used legal means to put Tommy behind bars, and I'll do the same to Melissa and Brian."I understand they're your family, but the people they killed were also someone else's family. Justice is rare in this world, but Tom is my friend and my son's savior. I'll do everything in my power to avenge him."You and Melissa grew up together, and perhaps if it weren't for my unexpected presence, you two would be together now. I understand why you protect her, so Shane, let's each rely on our own abilities from now on."Her throat ached as she swallowed hard."Until you complete what you need to do, let's not contact each other anymore. This way, we won't affect each other's mood or let anyone else discover the truth."Angeline finished speaking and hung up the phone before Sean coul

Brian's throat tightened, and his eyes turned red as he looked at his daughter.He said to Sean, "No one understands his daughter better than her father. Melissa is just too afraid of losing you. She thinks that having a child with you will keep you by her side."Worried that his words might upset Sean, he quickly added, "Shane, I don't mean to force you. I just…"After a long pause, Brian sighed. "I plan to take Melissa to an island to recuperate once she's better."For her birthday, he had gifted her an island. Before Sean returned, the island had been fully developed. It had one villa for residential purposes, with accommodations for other staff and personnel located slightly far away. The peaceful and quiet environment was ideal for recovery."Alright," Sean agreed. "I'll arrange for the best medical team to accompany her.""Thank you," Brian said, patting his arm. "You should head back to Kingston Empire. Don't worry. I'll take care of Melissa."Sean nodded and said, "I'l

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
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 1061
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
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 1057
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
