Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 89
Ned kicked a pillar in frustration after he hung up on the call.The day Angeline's sister, Henrietta, jumped off the building, Ned was in Cloudsville.Angeline was still dealing with the pregnancy, but Tommy had made a mess of things.Ned sat in the hallway and scrolled through the trending comments. He felt an inexplicable sense of unease.He had to keep Angeline from discovering that Tommy was involved in the incident. Then, he would be responsible not only for Anne but also for Henrietta.The deaths of Angeline's loved ones would all be blamed on him. She would despise him and Ingrid.It was best to prevent any information from reaching Angeline. Not a single detail should reach her.Ned's phone vibrated.He looked at it and saw that it was Ingrid calling. "Baby...""Where are you? I finished my scenes this morning, and the director permitted me to take the afternoon off. I can spend it with you." Ingrid was cheerful."I'm out in the hallway having a smoke. I'll be ri

As she watched Ned faint before her eyes, Ingrid's face drained of color. She turned to her assistant, her voice shaking with fear as she ordered, "Get help! Quickly!"The assistant director hurriedly brought in several staff members and lifted Ned into a vehicle with the film crew's stretcher. They drove to the nearest hospital....Angeline had barely said goodbye to Anne before she had to do the same to Henrietta.Amid her grief, she forced herself to cheer up.She knew that Anne's death was different from Henrietta's.Henrietta's death involved school violence and sexual assault. Convicting the perpetrators would be a long process. Until those vile demons were properly punished, Henrietta could not rest in peace.The bullying incident at River Town High School had a significant impact, attracting widespread public attention.It was especially so when many women rose to defend Henrietta's dignity after her death, subduing the spread of the video and organizing the "Protect

She promised Robert that she wouldn't contact anyone from the Lawson family, especially Sean. So she didn't ask for his help.Yet, Riley emerged before her.When Trevor thought about Angeline and Sean's relationship, he wasn't surprised Riley would show up.Trevor looked at Angeline, then turned to Riley and said, "Mr. Gomez, would you please tell Ms. Emmerson that if this matter escalates and her relationship with Mr. Lawson is discovered, it won't be good for Mr. Lawson?""Mr. Marshall, thank you for your concern for Mr. Lawson." Riley smiled."Before Mr. Lawson appointed me as Ms. Emmerson's attorney, he made it clear that if this case doesn't bring the perpetrators to justice, then I'm finished at Lawson Global! Do you think I would give up that position so easily?"Trevor didn't look pleased with Riley's words.Riley was second to none in terms of professional standards and eloquence in the industry."Alright, I understand Ms. Emmerson's wishes. I'll pass them on to my c

Angeline closed her eyes, then opened them and said, "Riley, thank you!"As Angeline and Riley walked out of the cafe, Angeline saw Sean step out of the backseat of his sedan. Her steps slowed, and her eyes reddened again."Mr. Lawson!" Riley greeted Sean as he approached.Sean was dressed in a suit and didn't have his glasses on. He exuded the mature and steady demeanor of a businessman, though his deeply sunken eyes suggested fatigue."Angeline, get in the car." Sean gestured for Angeline to get in.With her fists clenched tightly at her side, Angeline recalled Robert's advice to stay away from Sean and the Lawsons.Riley tactfully said goodbye and left when he noticed Angeline's hesitation.Angeline looked at Sean before finally descending the steps and getting into the car with him.She knew she had to clear things up."Where are we going?" Angeline asked after enduring Sean's silence."We're almost there," Sean answered.The black sedan pulled up in front of an apartm

Angeline's heart raced. "No! We can't get married! The others view us as relatives. What would our marriage certificate mean? And what about the child? Do you want the child to grow up under constant scrutiny?"Angeline's emotions escalated before Sean could answer. "Or do you want to announce to everyone that we're unrelated? Then... What if information about my mom gets out? How would the Lawsons handle that? How would my mom handle it? No! I can't agree to this!"Besides, Sean was the Lawsons' future heir. Robert would undoubtedly find a suitable wife for him. She thought it impossible for her to have a relationship with Sean and the Lawsons."And... and..." Angeline lifted her head, her eyes red from crying. She met Sean's gaze. "My mom and dad... Those images keep replaying in my head. I'm scared! I never grew up in a normal family, nor did I ever receive parental love. I don't want my child to suffer the same hardships I did."Angeline spoke her true feelings. There w

Angeline's eyes widened in shock.Sean pressed his lips to hers. He was as dominant as before, taking her breath away.Her mind went blank. Sean's body pressed against hers, causing her to feel embarrassed.Angeline panicked and pushed him away with all her strength, but Sean pressed both of her hands against the door with one hand. He deepened the kiss.The feelings Sean had been holding back were released. He had replayed the scene of that night repeatedly in his mind.The greed and possessiveness he had never expressed before seemed to erupt after his confession.Despite Sean's usually calm and collected demeanor, his emotions always seemed to spiral out of control when it came to Angeline.When Angeline appeared to be out of breath, Sean finally freed her.Panting, Angeline looked at Sean. She was frozen.Without his glasses, Sean's features were strikingly aggressive, with deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, and sharp facial contours.Neither of them spoke. The atmosphere

Angeline couldn't resist Sean. Her legs went weak, and her fingers clutching his shirt shook slightly."I… I can't think about that right now, Sean. Please don't do this to me. Both Anne and Henrietta are gone. I'm not in the mood to think about the future." Tears welled in her eyes as her words started to jumble."I promised Mr. Lawson Senior that I wouldn't have anything more to do with the Lawsons. I must keep my promise."Sean wiped away Angeline's tears. "I know, I know everything. Anne and Henrietta are gone, but have you ever considered that the child in your belly is also your family?""But we can't be together!" Angeline felt conflicted.She admitted that Sean was right. The child in her belly was her family. Especially after losing Anne and Henrietta, the child might be her only family now.But as soon as it involved Jessica, especially if Jessica's identity was at risk, she couldn't proceed.Besides, Robert and the Lawson family would never accept the child.Ev

Angeline's legs turned to mush. Her whole body trembled as she clutched onto Sean's shirt tightly. It was almost as if she was grasping at her only lifeline. Breathing erratically, she found herself to be utterly defenseless against him. Sean loosened his kiss on Angeline's swollen lips after a long while, just before he lost control of his terrifyingly deranged thoughts."Can we keep our child? Please?" Sean's voice was hoarse as he breathed heavily.Angeline's eyes reddened. "I… I need some time to think."Seeing that she had no plans of aborting the child just yet, Sean didn't want to push her too hard. Leaning down, he couldn't resist kissing her on the lips again. Although Angeline turned away, she still clutched at his clothes subconsciously. "I… I'm not ready to begin a new relationship yet. Don't do this…""Alright. I won't force you." Sean loosened his hold on her. His gaze darkened as he looked at her intensely. He placed his hands in his pockets to conceal

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
