Nathaniel had always been comedic on Twitter. His quote, "All men and women are equal, but my wife is more equal than me", had the netizens laughing out loud. WhitestofWhite: "Well, I think I've figured it out. Nathaniel wants to retire and become Angeline's spoiled husband! This heinous stench of love is in the air. Where's your morality? Where's your bottom line? And where's my Angeline at? I also want to live off my fianceé and have her gift me a tropical island!" BeggsEnedict: "Good, good! You all are doing this, aren't you? Gifting a tropical island just as an engagement gift? The rich get married while the poor just watch! I'll never admit to being a jealous fool!" HardcoreSeaman: "You're so funny, Nathaniel! All men and women are equal, but my wife is more equal than me? That's such an amazing quote!" CanteenSentry: "I wonder if those Ingrid fans think they've contradicted themselves. Just look at how sweet Angeline and Nathaniel are. Yet, these Ingrid fans always like
Wilfred was stunned into silence before finding his tongue to respond to Sean's request. Before the end of the day, Brian called Sean, "Shane, are you planning to return for the Lawson-Hooper marriage alliance? Won't it be risky?" Logically speaking, Sean shouldn't even be working with Hooper Group and should instead have severed ties with his past as Sean Lawson completely. While moving the phone to the other ear, Sean looked down and said, "I can choose not to go, but I must be invited. Since Kingston Empire is collaborating with Hooper Group, it's best to have someone attend the engagement ceremony on our behalf. There's no downside to Kingston Empire's development in Lonla. "Plus, it's fine for me to be present, too. If I'm more upfront about it, Dexter will be less likely to connect me to Sean Lawson."Brian didn't make any comment. He simply nodded. "Perhaps I'm getting old, but I can't follow what you youngsters are thinking nowadays. I just hope that you and Melissa
Angeline had already changed from the gown into comfortable loungewear. She exited the room and asked, "What's wrong?" "A news article just came out. Ingrid's management team tried suppressing it a little this morning, but it had no effect. I tried calling but couldn't reach you. So I came to ask if we should help to stifle it," Taylor said as he showed his tablet to Angeline. It was a screenshot of a news article posted by a now-deleted vlogger. The vlogger was called "Ica-rus". The first post by Ica-rus showed a few images. It pictured students wearing Oceanford University's uniform and competition badge on their chest. They were gathered on a beach while pushing through the crowd of onlookers to make way for the paramedics. The second photo showed Ned in a casual outfit, carrying a girl. She was wrapped in a large towel, wet hair sticking to her face. Ned had an unhappy expression and looked like he was saying something. The third photo was a group photo of Lonla repre
Ica-rus learned that after all the fuss, Angeline was the one who saved Simon. Not only was Ingrid's alleged sweet love stolen from Angeline by Ingrid pretending to be her, but she also swiped Angeline's credit for saving Simon's life. Thus, Ingrid was simply living off the spark of glory she had taken from Angeline. Ica-rus even tagged Norwalk Corporation's and Simon's official accounts in his post, cautioning them not to mistake the identity of Simon's rescuer while calling Ingrid a thief. He remarked that it didn't match the brand's style unless Norwalk Corporation's style was stealing other people's designs. With furrowed brows, Angeline quickly finished reading the post. Nathaniel, who stood behind her, also read through the post over her shoulder. "The account was deleted, together with the post. Yet, someone managed to screenshot it and post it on social media. And now, many netizens are sharing the post, saying Ingrid's management had used some unknown means to delete I
Nathaniel squinted his eyes. Fortunately, his phone was recording his call with Ned. "What do you mean? Are you saying Angeline was the one who saved Simon, then Ingrid took her place as the lifesaver and became Norwalk Corporation's ambassador? "And now you want Angeline to step in and falsely testify that Ingrid was the one who saved Simon. Is that correct?" "I know it's too much. But this matter happened so long ago. Norwalk Corporation and Lawson Global even have their own collaboration now. The best outcome now is for this matter to be subdued and to stop escalating it," Ned said with little confidence. "What if I don't want to?" Angeline asked. Ned was stunned, as if he didn't expect to hear Angeline. "I gave you a chance to clarify it with Simon years ago. What did you do instead? You forced me to take your money and sign an NDA not to expose the truth about Ingrid impersonating me. "You planned to use the NDA to have me take responsibility if this was ever reveale
Memories of those scenes appeared clearly before Ned's eyes, causing him to cover his face with both hands in immense pain. He was in solid denial that it wasn't him who had treated Angeline that badly. Still, he couldn't deny all the heinous things he had done after seeing those scenes flash before his eyes. He could even feel the temperature of Angeline's neck between his thumbs and index fingers. Ned couldn't wrap his head around why he would commit such atrocities to Angeline or how he could treat Angeline that way.Pain spread from the depth of Ned's heart to every fiber of his being. After an unknown amount of time, Ned's phone was still vibrating from the calls from Ingrid's current manager, Wanda. She called Ned for help, asking him to have Angeline clarify the situation. Wanda told Ned that Ingrid's emotions were on the brink of collapse, and she had locked herself in the bathroom. It was Ned and Ingrid's previous manager, Linda, who stopped Ingrid from seeking
Ingrid's assistant, Charlotte, was hugging Ingrid when she turned to look at Wanda with hope-filled eyes."How is it, Wanda?" Wanda furrowed her brows and shook her head. "I'm not sure if Mr. Fletcher has talked to his ex-wife. He's not picking up his phone. Let's wait. But I'm sure he'll help Ingie, considering their past relationship." Wanda never thought Ingrid would hide such a big surprise from her. When she took over Ingrid as her manager, she was never told that Ingrid saving Simon was a lie. Wanda felt that she was in a real jam.She believed there was no other way to save Ingrid except to ask the alleged victim, Angeline, to come out and make a statement. Wanda had just convinced Ingrid to come out of the bathroom when she was told that Ingrid had signed an unfair agreement with Norwalk Corporation. The agreement stated that if the matter of Ingrid pretending to be Simon's savior was exposed, the fault would be no one else's but Ingrid's. Norwalk Corporation woul
But when Ingrid heard Wanda, tears started flowing down her face again. She shook her head violently. "Simon's additional clauses have made it very clear. If the truth were exposed, I'd have to take responsibility for it. Norwalk Corporation would have nothing to do with it. Simon will never help me!" Wanda walked around the bedroom with her phone in her hand, then hesitantly asked, "Do you have Ms. Lawson's number?" Ingrid bit her lips and nodded, then said, "B-but I can't ask Angie to step in and make a statement. Plus, she'll never do it anyway." "Still, we have to try. How will we know it won't succeed if we never try?" Wanda sat beside Ingrid on the bed and grabbed her hand. "I'll do it if you're not comfortable with it! I've seen the contract you signed with Norwalk Corporation. "There'll only be one outcome if Ms. Lawson refuses to clear the air. You'll admit that you've stolen Ms. Lawson's place as Simon's lifesaver, and your career will be over! All your endors
