"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

Asher had worked for Robert long enough to know him well. He knew Robert hadn't stopped worrying about whether Angeline could hold the fort down at the Lawson family once he was gone.It wasn't because Robert doubted Angeline's abilities. It was because the Lawson family had announced to the world that Angeline was an adoptive granddaughter to protect Jessica.The worst part was that Angeline hadn't been raised by the Lawsons as Sean had been. She had only become a member of the Lawson family after she was fully grown.No one dared say anything now that Robert was still alive, but Robert was worried that the company's employees would rebel against Angeline once he was gone.Even Sean had only received their acknowledgment after getting engaged to Monica. After Sean had left, no one had caused a fuss, partly because Robert was there to hold the fort down. The other reason was that Angeline was the only one suitable for the job.Things would be different once Angeline married Nathan

"It's just that Ms. Lane heard Mr. Lane and Mr. Kingston arguing about something. She must have gotten anxious because she got out of bed, but then she fell, and her head was hit by some light medical instruments." Usman knew that Brayden was one of them, so he did not hide anything."How are things now?" Brayden asked."It's not looking good. The blood clot in her brain from falling off the building became bigger, so she had an operation to remove the clot. The doctor says that… Ms. Lane doesn't seem to have the will to live. Mr. Lane couldn't accept it, so his blood pressure skyrocketed. He's holding Ms. Lane's hand right now and talking to her while Mr. Kingston is keeping them company in the hospital room," Usman explained, sighing. Brayden was puzzled over Usman's mention of Melissa not having the will to live. He wondered what had happened. "Alright. If anything happens, give me a call at any time." Brayden walked out of the elevator and returned to his own home. He was

Nathaniel saw the marriage contract and appeared in Angeline's office within an hour. He briskly handed her two signed copies. "I've signed them, and you should, too. Let's start notifying the public. Getting married within a month will be rather rushed, so let's get engaged within a month instead and have the wedding within six months. What do you think?""Have you gotten a lawyer to look over the contract? I'm surprised that you signed it and sent it over here so quickly." Angeline frowned."How could I let a lawyer look at it? Look at those clauses you added at the end. 'We're just husband and wife by name and won't consummate the marriage'… etc. You even added that if either of us requests a divorce, then it must be done with no questions asked, and there is to be no division of assets. If Hooper Group's legal department saw this, my grandfather would be sure to find out, and he'd beat me to death! He'll think I'm forcing you to sign it so I don't have to take responsibility!
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 843
Nathaniel sent Angeline to and from work like a normal boyfriend would. Before Jeremy's birthday, the news about the successors of Hooper Group and Lawson Global dating began to spread throughout the community.Ned caught wind of it as well.However, his first reaction was disbelief.Although things between him and Angeline were impossible because of what had happened with Anne and Henrietta, Ned felt that Angeline still loved him.After all, they had once been so in love, and Angeline had been willing to give up her life for him.He felt that Angeline was only refusing to forgive him and get back together with him because he was connected to Anne's death and also because he had shielded the beast who had killed Henrietta.Given how deep their feelings had been for each other, he didn't think Angeline would ever marry someone else. The TV show "Survival Island" was due to begin the next day.The shooting for the program began at the airport, so Ned was busy packing his bags.

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
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
