Angeline calmly said, "You have something you have to do. Shouldn't we reduce contact to prevent your identity from being exposed and for the safety of the Lawson family? Before you left, we were already prepared not to call or meet each other until you've attained your revenge. "Yet now you're saying we're at odds. So, what's not at odds in your opinion? Should I go to Keman to see you? Or are you coming back to see me?" Angeline added, "Don't you think you're being unreasonable?" Sean remained silent on the other end of the phone. "If you're calling to ask about my marriage with Nathaniel, don't worry. We've signed a marriage contract. We'll be like you and Melissa, just married on paper." Angeline said with a hint of mockery, "Well, the only difference is that Nathaniel and I are still living on separate floors after the marriage, and we're not moving in together." Sean felt a lump in his throat. "Are you trying to get back at me?" Angeline remembered the trade offer

Sean went silent again. Angeline would've thought no one was over the phone if not for the sound of Sean's breathing. "Sean, I'm still the same as before. I can continue my life without you." Angeline looked at the diamond ring on the bedside table that she had taken off. "I don't mind regardless if you'll return. For me, there's no difference." "So, I'm not important to you anymore, am I?" Sean sounded strained. "It's neither right nor wrong. It's just that there are other important people in my life now, not just you." Angeline felt a sting in her heart as she spoke. "When you ignored my plea and threatened me with Benjamin, you reminded me of Ned. He once threatened me in the same way. I don't want to experience that again. I hope you can understand me." Sean's breathing quickened. "But Angie, at that time, Melissa's life was uncertain—" "You don't have to explain. I know. I know and understand." Angeline kept her composure throughout their conversation.

Text messages from Brayden, whose number was already blocked by Angeline, kept popping up.He wrote, "Didn't I tell you that being Nathaniel's wife would only lead to your death? Why did you still accept his proposal?"Another message read, "Did you accept the proposal to resolve the public opinion crisis?"He continued, "But the timing doesn't make sense! This proposal seems to have been planned long before this crisis. So, did you really choose Nathaniel?"In the fourth message, he wrote, "Please unblock me first. I won't force you to get married within a month anymore. Don't make any hasty decisions!"Angeline frowned as she watched Bradyen bombard her with messages. She wondered how he could still send her messages when she had already blocked his number.She then looked up online on how to stop receiving messages from a sender. Following the instructions, she clicked on the top right button of the contact and blacklisted Brayden's number.Soon after, Brayden realized he cou

Ingrid's manager, Wanda, advised her to remain calm since Angeline had agreed to Nathaniel's proposal, and the chaotic situation online would soon be over.Once her show and the interviews she did before she set out to the deserted island aired, she could salvage the situation. Perhaps her fans would continue to support her again.Wanda repeatedly urged, "Just remember one thing—the bigger the wind and waves, the more famous you'll become! Don't log on to social media for now because you will leave a trail."Don't use any burner accounts, too, and don't bother reading the comments. These are all temporary and meaningless. Reading them will only affect your subsequent shooting."You've been in the industry for so many years. You should know how popular this show is now, so you must stay focused. Do you understand?"At that moment, Wanda hated how extended Lawson Global's network was. Without a network, she wouldn't have to worry about Ingrid sneaking online to read the netizens' co

The director spoke earnestly, "If it were just regular filming followed by editing, it wouldn't be a big deal, but our show is live even right now. What will the viewers say if you suddenly leave without finishing the show to find Ms. Lawson?"And what will you say to her when you see her? Will you ask her not to get engaged to Mr. Hooper? If the paparazzi, who are closely watching her, catch wind of it, wouldn't it confirm the allegations about her?"People would think she turned to Mr. Hooper only after her plan to tarnish Ingrid's reputation failed."Ned gripped his water glass tightly.The director continued, "If you go back now, you'll only bring trouble to Ms. Lawson's peaceful life. Chasing love isn't about causing trouble. Loving someone means solving their problems, not creating them."The director then patted Ned's shoulder and said, "I suggest you finish this episode first, at least so the viewers don't misinterpret her actions because of your sudden departure."Ned wa

Even though it was Saturday, Angeline had to go on a business trip to the Oceanford branch. While she had scheduled a meeting with a major international client there, she also needed to inspect the engine R&D center. She planned to restructure the personnel at the R&D center to expedite the research progress.Accompanying her on this trip were several high-level executives from Lawson Global, but they traveled separately and would meet at the hotel.Just as she reached the entrance with her suitcase, the doorbell rang. Thinking Taylor and Jamie were there to pick her up, she put on her blazer and high heels before opening the door.To her surprise, it was Nathaniel. He also dressed formally in a suit, standing at the door with a smile."Good morning!" he greeted.He stood among the bodyguards outside her door, looking somewhat comical in his formal attire."What's up?" she asked."I'm here to take my fiancée to the airport!" he said, jingling his car keys and taking her suitca

The paparazzo said, "Pft! Ms. Lawson means the world to him? It sounds more like Lawson Global means the world to him. Who doesn't know that after Mr. Lawson Senior's passing, the Lawson family's fortune and Lawson Global will all belong to Ms. Lawson?"If I were her ex-husband, I'd claim to have regained my memory and say she meant the whole world to me too! If the remarriage succeeded, I'd have control over the entire Lawson Global!"His colleague said, "True! Mr. Fletcher and Ms. Lawson do have a history. When he said in the live interview that she meant the world to him, I looked into their past. If he hadn't lost his memory, they probably would've been living happily together.""Who knows?""But don't you think Ms. Lawson should clarify things online since it's such a mess right now?"The paparazzo said again, "Why bother clarifying? She's already accepted someone else's proposal. Just letting that news out is enough. It's more effective than writing a lengthy explanation.

"Where's Adrian?" Angeline asked.Adrian was an engineer who had been involved in the engine design since Sean's time. After that, she personally negotiated to bring him on board the project."Mr. Rostova is on leave today," the manager quickly responded. "But when he heard you were coming this afternoon, he said he would be here."Angeline nodded. After taking a tour around the research center, she directed everyone to the conference room for a meeting.The meeting lasted over four hours, and Adrian rushed over as soon as he got the message.Admittedly, the progress at the research center had accelerated with his involvement, but it still fell short of her expectations. For her, money wasn't an issue. The problem was the urgency to obtain results.After the meeting, the research center team invited Angeline to a dinner.Sensing her fatigue, Taylor approached and whispered, "Ms. Lawson, you have a video conference at 7:30 pm. I'm afraid dinner won't be possible."She nodded and

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

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
