Mallory couldn't help feeling fearful as she recalled how Angeline had sounded when she'd spoken to Taylor earlier. She clutched her phone tighter and said, "This is a critical juncture for our family, and Angeline has the upper hand on us…"She's become the only heiress to the Lawson family after they adopted her and after Sean's death. If she gets the word out, there's no doubt we'll lose the VAM agreement. What are we gonna do now, Miles? Have I caused more trouble again? I meant well, really…"She started crying again.Miles remained silent on the other end of the line, clenching his fist around his pen. After a while, he said, "At least I know about it now. Whatever you do, don't seek Angie out anymore. I'll explain things to her. And make sure you don't have anything else to do with the Emmersons."I'll have someone keep an eye on them to ensure they won't do anything to drag you into the fray. Also… when you get home, tell Zachary all about this. He's on better terms with An

"Grandma, that sounds… Think about how many years have passed since then. I don't think it's really possible if you say the woman looks just like my mom did when she first came to our home. Look at Aunt Katie—she doesn't look the same as she did when she was young, right?" Benjamin couldn't help feeling doubtful at Juliet's words."I agree that the woman looks almost identical to Jay. I thought I was looking at Jay when she first arrived! But Benjamin's right. If she really is Jay, there's no way she can look so young. Still…" Katie's eyes lit up. "Maybe she's Jay's sister! Maybe Jay's parents had another child after she went missing!"She grew even more excited. "I remember Benjamin's maternal grandfather's surname was Lawson, right? Do you think they're the same Lawsons as the ones who've adopted Angeline?"George straightened up at that. "But… didn't they say Benjamin's grandfather is a professor? Didn't they say Jay's an only daughter?""Well, she would've been an only daughter
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 907
Even if the woman in Mallory's photo really were Benjamin's aunt, the Lawson family wouldn't care about the Emmersons. This was especially true for Robert."Why aren't you saying anything, George?" Katie turned to look at him. "You're the head of the family, so we need you to make the decisions. We're running out of money now. Benjamin dumped all his money into that game, and we paid through our nose when those gangsters came after us."Benjamin's health is getting worse by the day, and we can't get close to Jodie at all. Benjamin doesn't have a kidney donor, and we all know what'll happen if we drag things out. You have to say something!"Benjamin had already fled the earlier hospital to stay at a hospital in the county. The money that people had donated online was almost all gone. Though the Emmersons had earned some money by putting on a pitiful act during live streams, their reputation had already gone down the drain.When they'd tried live streaming again, the comments had all

Benjamin agreed with Juliet's guess that Angeline had badmouthed him to Robert so she could have the Lawson family fortune, which was supposed to be his. Once he inherited the Lawson family and Lawson Global, he would make her get on her knees before him and beg for mercy!"Yeah, exactly!" Katie said. "I bet Mr. Lawson Senior only agreed to take Jodie in because she resembled Jay. Look at how similar she looks to the woman in the Locke lady's photo!""But… Jay was an only daughter!" George was still unconvinced. "Didn't the police say that Jay's parents didn't give up on searching for her because she was their only daughter? Jay's mother died of sorrow when Jay died on the operating table. That's why Jay's father hates us so much.""He hates us? What right does he have to hate us? If not for us buying Jay and feeding her, she would've died in the wilderness years ago!" Juliet gnashed her teeth. "And look at how Benjamin's the only child she managed to give birth to. The others aren'

"You know what the Emmersons are like. They kicked up a fuss and demanded Oceanford College refund the tuition to them when Angie was still studying there so they could sell her off to be an old cripple's wife."Now that she's been adopted by the Lawson family and is engaged to the son of the Hooper family, who knows what Juliet Emmerson's gonna get up to?" Miles sighed. "And if Angie finds out Mallory was in contact with the Emmersons, our relationship with her is only going to get worse."I didn't tell Mallory this, but I actually indicated my interest in working with Vitality Biotech just a few weeks ago. I'm really worried this will affect Vitality Biotech's decision to work with me if Angie hears about this."Zachary sighed, too. "What are you going to do, then? Are you gonna tell Angie about this?""I had someone keep an eye on the Emmersons, but it seems there's another group of people watching them—I'm guessing Angie sent them. She'll find out about this sooner or later, so

"I know you're capable of murdering someone even if you're crippled…" Angeline said. When she saw how dispirited he looked, she adjusted her crossed legs and continued, "I made a deal with someone to get you back."Aside from handing over all the evidence we had, I also used my marriage to get someone to help bring you back from Keman alive."Thomas' pupils constricted at her words. He turned to look at her. She continued, "Someone has been hoping that I'll cut off all contact with Xavier and Yasmine's father from now on. He only agreed to help get you back alive if I were to get married within a month."She sounded casual and nonchalant as she said, "That's why I've agreed to Nathaniel's proposal. We're going to have an engagement party soon."Thomas pursed his lips. This wasn't something he'd expected. He didn't even know who Xavier and Yasmine's father was. It was a question he'd always been curious about—he even thought it was Ned, who was Angeline's ex-husband.But the one ti

Thomas' eyes were red. He moved his lips but couldn't bring himself to say anything."I know vengeance is your only reason for living and that you don't care about your own life. But if you can bring yourself to disregard our lives, you can do whatever you want once you recover. Go ahead and get your revenge—we'll just put our lives on the line for you. It's not a big deal."But if you do care about our lives, even if it's just a little, have faith in us. Have faith that Eric will find evidence that's strong enough to make them pay the price. Don't act on your own anymore," Angeline said. With that, she left the room.She knew Thomas. All this while, he'd felt that his vengeance was his own and had nothing to do with anyone else. It was why he'd gone so far as to drug Eric so he could head to Keman alone—he didn't want to drag anyone down with him.That was why Angeline had said what she'd said. She wanted him to know what she'd given up to save him and how far she would go to keep

After all, Oceanford was only so big. Danny didn't think much of Ned's friends—most of the scions and heiresses he ran with had probably all bullied Angeline at some point. There was no way Danny would work with them.Even if he were to work with them, it would be because he'd laid a trap to teach them a lesson or even get rid of them, just like how they'd gotten rid of Fletcher Corporation in the past.Angeline nodded and got into the car. On her way to Lawson Global, she returned Zachary's call."I'm already in Krontos, Angie. Would it be convenient for us to have lunch? I have something to tell you—it has to do with the Emmersons." He didn't give her the chance to say no as he continued, "I've booked a room at The Millenium. It'll only take a lunch break."After a brief silence, Angeline said, "Fine."…Zachary and Miles sat in the private room at The Millenium. They'd both seen the teaser for "Survival Island". It started off with Ned saying that he'd regained his memories an

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.
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 1063
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
