This meant that Angeline didn't want to broach the subject, so Gregory didn't push her. As he looked at the car parked before him, he said, "Angie, with your current status, you don't need to force yourself into anything."You already have children and more than enough money to last you for several lifetimes. Life can be good for you even without marriage. Of course, if you're doing this for your company's benefit, you can pretend I didn't say anything."Angeline chuckled and nodded. "Got it. I know what I'm doing, so don't worry."She watched him leave. The night breeze seemed to be stronger now. Jamie stepped forward. "Let's head back to the hotel, Ms. Lawson. It's about to rain.""Okay." She glanced at a hotel nearby. "I'm tired, so just get me a room at that hotel. A regular room is fine if they don't have any suites."For some reason, Taylor couldn't help thinking about what he'd witnessed when entering Angeline's room earlier in the day. Still, he didn't ask any questions. H

"Angie likes Sean." Jessica turned back to the flowers. "She's only happy when she sees him."Jeremy was taken aback, and Robert was shocked by her words. He feigned sadness and sighed. "Jessica must miss Sean, as I do. If he were still around… Angie wouldn't need to work so hard."Jeremy thought Jessica had inadvertently upset Robert by mentioning Sean, so he said in a low voice, "Jessica didn't mean to bring Sean up. Anyway… I liked Sean, too. I thought about having my granddaughter try things out with Sean, but the Scott family was faster than me. Well, it's too late to talk about that now…"No one wouldn't be saddened at the mention of Sean. Who would've expected him to be unfortunate enough to look identical to Shane Kingston and to get caught in Dexter's ambush of Shane? The youngest and most outstanding heir to Lawson Global had been taken away by an accident."Sean wouldn't like your granddaughter, too," Jessica said. She sounded gentle and polite.Jeremy was lost for word

"I was busy in the kitchen, so Ms. Lawson answered the phone. The person on the other end of the line said she was your best friend, so Ms. Lawson told the guards to let her in. I'm still worried, though. She said she's from Oceanford." Sandy kept her voice down.Angeline's temples throbbed when she heard Sandy mention that Mallory had gone to the old Lawson residence. She told the driver, "Turn around and head to the old Lawson residence."She was sick of Ned's friends. Hadn't they hoped she would die in the accident or remain comatose forever so they wouldn't be put in tough spots? She couldn't understand why they wouldn't stop pestering her now. She tried to keep her irritation at bay. "Call Zachary Stone."She'd deleted all their phone numbers earlier and couldn't contact them. Taylor turned around to glance at her. When he saw her grim expression, he called Zachary and handed his phone to her. The call connected, and Zachary said, "Mr. Powell?""It's me," Angeline said. "Do yo

Angeline took the tablet from Taylor and quickly scrolled through it, reading the comments people had left on Mallory's tweet.It turned out the tweet was the reason the netizens had been so confident that Ned had announced he'd regained his memories on TV and had called off his engagement to Ingrid because he wanted to get back together with Angeline.Mallory had used her identity as Angeline's childhood friend to talk about how Angeline and Ned would eventually make their way back to each other now that Ned had regained his memories. She mentioned that she and the rest of their friend group had witnessed the love between Angeline and Ned and fully supported their reconciliation.If not for Nathaniel and Aurelia tweeting about Nathaniel's proposal to Angeline, Angeline would've been dragged into the mess between Ned and Ingrid. She wouldn't be able to rid herself of the suspicion before she announced her marriage to anyone, and it would even affect Lawson Global.It was highly lik

Jessica had sat with Mallory for quite a while and was evidently tired, but Mallory had chattered away, seemingly blind to Jessica's fatigue. Sandy was beyond annoyed by Mallory but couldn't show it.Seeing that Angeline was back, Jessica pulled her shawl tighter around her shoulders and smiled at her. "You're back, Angie. Your grandfather brought the kids to the Hooper residence for dinner. I don't think any of us expected your friend to drop by today.""Angie!" Mallory turned to beam at her as if they really were best friends who'd been apart for too long. She looked perfectly at home as she stretched an arm along the back of the couch. "Ms. Lawson's kept me for dinner, you know. It's been ages since we last ate together!""Why don't you take Mom upstairs so she can get some rest, Ms. Hull? She looks exhausted," Angeline said.She didn't want to get mad with Jessica watching, nor did she want Jessica to be plagued by the photo on Twitter. So, she asked Sandy to take Jessica upsta

"But your friend—" Jessica said."She's not my friend," Angeline cut her off gently. "I don't have many friends, but they're the best friends I could ask for. I'll bring them over for a meal in a few days so that you can meet them, okay?""How can you say I'm not your friend, Angie? We grew up together! Are you upset at me because of Ingrid?" Mallory sounded like she was about to cry. She turned to Jessica again. "Ms. Lawson…"Jessica turned to glance at Mallory, whose fists were clenched as she stood by the couch. She thought about what Angeline had said, then said hesitantly, "But this…""She's here to ask Lawson Global for help. She couldn't get into the building, so she got in here by pretending to be my friend." Angeline smiled at Jessica. "We were in the same school when we were younger, but we're not friends."Jessica looked uneasy. "Have I caused trouble for you? I just wanted to know more about your past…""No, of course not. I know you only let her in because you heard

Mallory glared at Jamie and snatched her bag from him, her chest heaving with rage. She turned to look at Angeline. "You've crossed the line, Angeline!"Angeline scowled, obviously having already run out of patience. "Miles signed a VAM agreement, right? If you don't want me to interfere in this and make the Locke family go bankrupt after the VAM agreement falls through, you'd better stay out of my life. Don't show up before me anymore."After that, she looked at Taylor, signaling for him to see Mallory out. Mallory swallowed hard. "Ned's the one who abandoned you back then, Angeline. Not me! Why do you have to treat me like this?""Ms. Locke, this way, please…" Taylor stepped forward and gestured for Mallory to follow him."Fine. Fine! I get it now—since you've been adopted by the Lawson family and are now their heiress, your childhood friends aren't worthy of you anymore, right? To think I spoke up for you online!""Once upon a time, I genuinely considered you guys my friends, t

Tears started streaming down Mallory's face as she raged. "You were in a coma, and Zachary had already given up on you… He was already going to accept me and be with me! Then, you just had to wake up, even after Ned had lost his memories."Once you woke up, Zachary thought he stood a chance again. You became the center of his life, and he spent all his time caring for you and protecting you. You were pathetic enough to chase after Ned, and Zachary was pathetic enough to protect you!"Why didn't you die in that accident? Why did you have to wake up? If not for you, we would've all found our respective happily-ever-afters!"Angeline's iciness was a stark contrast to Mallory's hysteria. "Look at how much you hate me. And yet, here you are, trying to pretend that we're the best of friends. Aren't you more pathetic than I ever was?"She turned to Jamie. "Has her tweet recounting my past with Ned been deleted?"He nodded. "Yes, Ms. Lawson."She turned back to face Mallory, who was trem

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
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
