Miles' heart raced when he heard that Robert was infuriated over the matter. All of Lonla's affluent families had heard a thing or two about Jessica. It seemed that she was frail and didn't seem to be mentally stable, which was why Robert had never allowed any media outlets to capture photos of her. He didn't want more trouble for her."I'm only the Lawson family's adopted daughter, and it's only because of Sean that Granddad thinks highly of me. My only reason for being there is to protect and care for my mother." Angeline looked at Miles and Zachary. "Do you think an apology from Mallory's brother and husband is enough to settle this?"Miles pursed his lips. After a while, he said, "The tweet's already been deleted, and I'll have someone keep an eye on things. If any photos of your mother show up online again, I'll do everything it takes to have them removed."If even Robert was aware of this, it would take only a single command from the former to ruin Locke Group.When Miles saw

Angeline looked at Miles. "Are you telling me that just because we grew up together, I need to hold our friendship dear forever? You expect me to do that even though I know you guys prayed for me to die or to remain comatose forever?"I've always thought you were smart, Miles, but the things you've said today are really making me doubt your intelligence. Why don't you think about whether it's easier to go home and keep your sister on a tight leash or to try to make me back down by bullshitting about nonexistent friendships?"After a momentary pause, she continued, "After all, you guys said back then that I was heartless and cold to everyone but Ned. If you already know what I'm really like, why do you expect me to suddenly care about bonds that never existed in the first place?"She stood up. "Just so you know, Zachary, I didn't come to this gathering for your sake. I did it because your sister, Vanessa, cared for me when I was comatose. This is my last time accepting an invitation

Miles gulped when he saw Angie standing there, unmoved. "I'm honestly not as pathetic as you think, Angie. We grew up together, and you should know that. We all made mistakes after what happened to you, and when we tried to make things up to you, you didn't need us anymore."I know you're in a different league from us now, so don't worry—I won't use our past friendship to do anything. I came here to come clean to you so that you'd be prepared for the Emmersons. At the very least, it'd be better for us to be frank with you than for you to find out yourself. I also hope you'll let Mallory off the hook."It all boiled down to Miles apologizing to Angeline on Mallory's behalf. Angeline couldn't help thinking about Melissa. She wondered whether all women who had older brothers were destined to have people love and protect them for the rest of their lives.She didn't know whether Miles had anything else planned with his share transfer agreement, but one thing was for sure—she was extremel

Zachary was lost for words."Don't look at me like that!" Miles frowned. "I'm not gonna force Ned to make it happen or anything since he and Ingrid already called off their engagement."I was just thinking that if Ingrid really can't help with the advertisement, Ned should at least still be able to find someone suitable since he's managing Wyndham Entertainment. I'll have to pay someone for the advertisement, anyway. I might as well give the money to my buddy."Zachary didn't say anything. After the meal, he called Ned and set an appointment for dinner. Then, he told Miles, "I won't join you tonight. I have to head back to Oceanford for my nephew's birthday tomorrow. I promised him I'd spend the day with him.""Alright." Miles added, "I have to meet a client later, anyway."It was only after Zachary left that Miles showed some signs of fatigue. In the past, he hadn't believed in fate. He believed his capabilities were enough to change everything, but since taking over Locke Group,

Ned had asked Miles to look into Xavier and Yasmine's father in the past. At the time, Miles had already suspected they belonged to Nathaniel because the latter happened to be at the hotel that night.Nathaniel and Sean had grown up together. Taylor had also been around that night. The only possibility was that they hadn't had time to take Angeline to the hospital, so Nathaniel had helped out. It couldn't be that Xavier and Yasmine were Sean's kids—not when Sean and Angeline were related.Miles' deduction was pretty much as Ned had guessed. Ned didn't remember a thing from the night he and Angeline had been drugged, but since Angeline had made it clear that the kids weren't his, it could only mean that she'd slept with someone else that night.And so, Ned's suspicions had landed on Nathaniel, who'd also been at the hotel at the time."Whatever it is, I'm going to win Angie back." Ned didn't plan on hiding his thoughts from Miles. "I'm willing to pay any price as long as it gets Ang
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 919
Miles was startled. He suddenly laughed and said, "No, Angie and I have always been from two different worlds. Don't you remember what her IQ is? With her intelligence, she never needed to advance year by year with you. "So many universities reached out to her, from the local universities to the ones abroad. She's a genius. She only followed an ordinary person's pace so that she could be with you. "How should I say this? In the past, I always felt like Angie was from a different world compared to the rest of us because she came from such a poor family. However, now that I think about it, I've been right that we're from different worlds. "But in some aspects, she's superior to us. We could even say that we're in completely different leagues."Miles had to admit it.Angeline's abilities and intelligence were far beyond theirs. The truth was that without Ned, they wouldn't even have gotten to know her. While they were playing ball and fighting in school, Angeline would be in the

Miles swallowed hard. "You and Ingrid were so in love at the time, and you were so hostile to Angeline. How could we say anything? You had lost your memories and were so happy with Ingrid. What could we say?"Miles thought about what Angeline had said. She had said that they weren't her friends, and they were Ned's friends.He suddenly chuckled and looked at Ned as he said, "Besides, we've always been your friends, not Angeline's! We ate and had fun together because she was your girlfriend, and we did it to spend time with you. Angeline was always an extra! It was the same with Ingrid. When she became your girlfriend, we became friends with her too!"Ned shot to his feet. "How could you say that?""It's the truth! Angeline realized that a long time ago. This is why she doesn't even want to contact us. We were the people she left in her past!" Miles moved the cigarette in his mouth. He held it between his fingers and rested it casually on the table. He looked at Ned, who had risen

He had lost Angeline.However, he couldn't fathom the reason. He wasn't the one who had tortured Angeline so cruelly. Angeline was his life. Even if he had to die, he would never let her be hurt at all. How could he have treated her so terribly?He had asked this question thousands of times, but no one could answer him.Ned slumped back in his chair. "But… I can't live without Angie. I don't know how to get her back. If… If I suffered everything Angie went through, once, twice, or even countless times, would she stop being angry? Could we be together again?""It's impossible." Miles cut off Ned's fantasies abruptly. "Ned, rather than struggling to think if you and Angie can be together again, why don't you settle down with Ingrid? Ingrid undoubtedly loves you…""Does she love me? Or… does she love the relationship I once had with Angie?" Ned looked up at Miles, who had been trying to act as a peacemaker. Miles was startled. Ned was still clear-headed, except when it came to 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
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 1062
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
