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!
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.
16-year-old Angeline was smiling faintly in the photo, but her eyes were unusually bright. No one would ever be able to tell what she had experienced.Ned's eyes reddened. He missed her so much. He missed his Angeline.Even at this point in time, he would sometimes think about the day of his 26th birthday. Angeline had walked into that room wearing an oversized puffer jacket and told him, "I don't want you anymore, Ned."Whenever he dreamed of that scene, he would always beg her desperately for another chance, but the only thing he could do was watch her leave."I'm going to get you back!" Ned said to Angeline's photo. "I will!""Survival Island" would be using Lawson Global's equipment from the start to the end, and even the live broadcast software was from Silent Voice. Thus, everyone in Lawson Global was focused on its first broadcast.The live broadcast started when the celebrities flew to the island on a small plane.Thanks to the promotion the celebrities had done befo
Melody's fans and the public had found the young actress' information, and she was attacked for being a homewrecker and ruining the marriage of an award-winning actress. Archie had then made an announcement, saying that he and Melody had been divorced for almost two years and that his lover was not a homewrecker. He also said that they would be getting married very soon.After that, Melody acknowledged the news about their divorce and announced that she would participate in "Survival Island".Melody had chosen the TV show as her first public appearance back in the limelight, and her fans were very supportive.Some fans were confused and asked why Melody had not chosen to star in a movie for her comeback entrance but a TV show instead. It was very different from her previous career.At the height of her popularity, Melody had never appeared on any TV shows, and she had explained during interviews that actresses needed to maintain a certain air of mystery. She felt that if she partic
