Angeline lowered her gaze thoughtfully. Just then, Sally knocked on the door. "Mr. Lawson Senior, Ms. Angeline, dinner's served.""Let's eat first," Robert said. "I've yet to get back to Jeremy about this, so you can take some time to think things over. If you think it's feasible, we can start making preparations."You can head to the Hooper residence with me on Jeremy's birthday. But if you don't intend on going, I'll just bring the kids with me.""Alright." Angeline nodded and stood up.She took her seat at the dining table and took over from Sally to get food for the children. She'd just started peeling some shrimp for them when her phone rang. As she glanced at it, Sally handed her a warm towel.The call was from Nathaniel. Angeline wiped her hands before answering the call. "Hello?""Something's happened to the Scott family. Grace and Monica left the office in the same car today, and a drunk truck driver crashed into them as soon as they were out of the building. The

Lara: "I suspect Fabian's the one behind it. He did it to help Grace take Monica out! Monica opposes Grace at every step of the way, so he wants to get rid of her so that Grace has more power. It's too bad Grace and Monica were in the same car.Lara: "Or maybe he wants to kill them both and push the blame on me! Once Dad suspects me, Fabian can have his children brown-nose Dad and have him hand the company to them! That way, as their guardian, Fabian will be the ultimate victor!"Kieron: "And I thought my family drama was too much to handle. Your family's way worse!"Lara: "It's all because Grace was so blinded by her so-called love for Fabian and insisted on marrying him. God, the sight of him disgusts me."Kieron: "Angeline, where are you? Why haven't you said anything? What do you think about this?"Angeline didn't say anything. She wasn't a detective—what would she know? She couldn't possibly tell them she suspected Melissa was behind this.What would she say if they were to

Kieron was about to hurry over to break up the fight when Angeline stopped him. He turned to look at her in confusion.Nathaniel said, "They're dealing with a family matter now, so we should stay out of it. Don't you see how the assistants and bodyguards are keeping their distance?"He signaled for Kieron to look at the assistants and bodyguards who were standing dozens of feet away from the Scotts."I'll hit him if I want!" Lara screeched. "Why are you suddenly bringing up the prenuptial agreement? You're pissed that I forced you guys to sign it back then, aren't you? You wanna talk about that, huh? Fine! Your brother's an innocent man who only married Grace because he genuinely loves her!"He's never once been interested in the Scott family fortune! If that's the case, I want him to write a statement now—tell the world that he won't touch a dime that his children will inherit if anything happens to Grace. The Scott family will guard their inheritance until they're of age!""I

Angeline listened to Hiram and Rick talk about the possible mastermind behind the accident. She didn't say anything. She had her guesses but no evidence. Even if she did have evidence, she couldn't let anyone know.Rafael, who'd been by Fabian's side this whole time, glanced at Angeline. He told Fabian he was going to get a cup of coffee before leaving.Angeline's phone vibrated. It was a video call from Yasmine. She composed herself and walked aside to answer the call. She smiled when she saw Yasmine's chubby face appear on the screen. "Have you already taken your bath, Yasmine?""Yeah! It's Xavier's turn now. How is the lady in the accident, Mommy?" Yasmine asked. "Is she using the accident as an excuse to leave so she can go complete her secret mission? Just like Daddy did."She and Xavier were aware of Sean being their father. They'd been devastated when the media had reported about Sean's "death", so Robert had told them Sean had only used the accident as an excuse to leav

"Yeah." Angeline nodded and looked at her phone.Rafael's smile slowly faded, and his expression became desolate when he saw she hadn't taken the coffee he was holding out. "Ma'am—Ms. Lawson, don't tell me you think my brother's orchestrated this."Ms. Lara was slandering him! Fabian and Grace are genuinely in love with each other. He had no idea who she was when they got together!"Angeline wasn't interested in listening to him talk about Fabian and Grace's love story. Just then, she noticed that the operating theater's doors had opened. She said, "I need to go check on things."She was about to leave when he grabbed her wrist. He looked up at her, sounding choked up, asking, "Do you think my family's unworthy, too?""I don't think I'm someone you can have a heart-to-heart with, Rafael." Angeline frowned. "The doctor's out of the operating theater. Aren't you going to check on Grace?"Only then did Rafael turn to look at the operating theater. He straightened up when

Angeline still held some respect for Hiram. Whether in terms of their business dealings or the time Angeline had stormed out of the gathering between the four reputable families, Hiram had been somewhat protective of her. And so, she returned the favor by being respectful to him."I'm going to have to take a rain check on that. I need to head home and clean up before heading to work," she said with a smile. "Call me anytime if you need anything at the hospital. If you can't reach me, you can always call my assistants, Taylor Powell and Jamie Tatum.""Alright, then. Thanks for everything," Hiram said."I need to head to work, too. If you need my help with anything, Mr. Scott, just call me," Nathaniel said.Hiram nodded. He told Fabian, "See Angeline and Nathaniel off."Fabian pressed the call button for the elevator. He followed Nathaniel and Angeline into the elevator. Nathaniel asked Angeline, "Where are you headed?""Grand Court Residences," she said."Let me hitch a rid

Fabian shook his head. "Initially, I thought Monica was putting on a one-man show. After all, she's the only one among the sisters who's ruthless enough to harm herself. However, she wouldn't go as far as to put her life on the line."I'm positive it isn't Lara. She may seem obnoxious, but she's the one who cares about their sisterhood the most.""Doesn't that mean the Scotts will suspect you?" Rafael frowned, feeling worried."That's only to be expected." A trace of irritation flashed across Fabian's eyes. "They won't say it aloud, but I'm sure they'll do some digging in secret. Don't be too worried, though. They won't be able to link me to something that I haven't done."…Nathaniel turned to look at Angeline, who was reading the news in the car. He asked, "What do you think of the accident?"She didn't answer. Instead, she stared dazedly at an article. The news of Melissa falling from a building was reported—the caption indicated that she'd been taken to the emergenc

"There's no need to go to so much trouble. We can just arrange for our families to have a meal together and announce the news," Angeline said."This marriage isn't for our sake—it's for the Lawson and Hooper families. We need to do everything that's expected of us so that the public won't doubt us. We'd be losing more than we can gain if this affects both our businesses," Nathaniel explained.It made sense to Angeline. She nodded.…Angeline couldn't get rid of her uneasiness throughout the journey home. She called Danny as soon as she entered her apartment.He was on his way to bring Heather her breakfast. When he answered the call, he said, "What's up? Are you thinking of throwing Heather a welcome-back party because you missed the last one? I don't think you'll have the chance—she's locked herself up in the lab since her return!""I'm not calling about that. I saw an article about something that happened in Keman—Melissa Lane's been taken to the emergency room again. I'm wor

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
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

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
