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
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 937
"In any case, we have to try it!" Wanda gripped her phone. Not wanting to continue arguing with Ingrid about keeping the matter confidential, she said, "With Ms. Lawson's current position, it's true that we have no leverage to negotiate. But I'll try to convince her. If she can keep you safe, you endorse any Lawson Global product for free, without charging any advertising fee starting today. Let's see if it works." This was the only bargaining chip that Ingrid could currently use. "But will Angie agree?" Ingrid was skeptical. Seeing Ingrid ease up a little, Wanda quickly said, "You won't know until you try it! Give me her number, quick!" After pondering, Ingrid gave Angeline's number to Wanda. Wanda had someone look after Ingrid before walking toward the balcony. She called Angeline after making mental preparations. Angeline had just asked Taylor and Jamie to see the finance director, Gary, and the project management department manager, Kerri, out. She took a sip of w

Angeline hung up the call and blocked Wanda's number. Then, her phone rang again. This time, it was from Simon. She answered the call and said, "Hey, Simon! I was wondering when you'd call." Simon chuckled. "I mean, it was my fault. Considering the situation back then, I could only see it through until the end. But it seems like we can correct this mistake now." Simon was right. At that time, the power struggle in their family had reached a critical juncture.And now, the dust had settled. No information was leaked from their family, and the speculations were abound amongst the public. Simon's call at that moment was basically him telling Angeline he was the victor. "So, do you plan on clearing the air?" Simon asked. "Not at the moment. So long as Ingrid and her manager are smart and don't get me involved, we'll be safe, even if it's for the sake of our friendship," Angeline said. Angeline knew Simon's call was him subtly testing her. Although Simon was the last su

Ingrid looked at Wanda with red eyes when she entered the room. Her lips trembled slightly, and tears started flowing down her face before she could say a word. She looked like a fragile flower who could only rely on Wanda. Wanda closed the floor-to-ceiling window to the balcony and said, "I have an idea." "What?" Ingrid quickly wiped her tears and asked, pretending to be strong. "I'm assuming Mr. Fletcher wouldn't step forward and testify for you, given he's trying to win back Ms. Lawson's love. He was the one who thought Angeline didn't need this life-saving favor and told you to accept it, so the only person you can rely on right now is Linda, who is still in prison." Wanda looked at Ingrid with determination. "Since you said Linda and Mr. Fletcher insisted that you continue pretending to be the rescuer for your own benefit, how about we have Linda step in and say she signed your contract on your behalf? "Then, we'll have a press conference, announcing that you wanted to

Linda pressed her lips and said nothing. Her eyes were deeply sunken, and her cheeks were hollow. Long gone was her once-spirited appearance. "I'm only looking after for a few years. Once you're out of jail, she'll still need your help!" Wanda continued, "You know that Ingie has always been a kind and nostalgic person. If we can't save her, what will you do when you're out of jail?" Linda was touched. Her lips quivered while still not saying a word. But Wanda could tell she had convinced Linda. "If you agree, I'll talk to the warden to arrange a rehabilitation interview with a reporter. You can casually bring this up during the interview." Wanda was no longer being subtle. She believed Linda could understand her intention. "Okay!" Linda nodded. "I'll help Ingie." Wanda let out a long sigh as she left the prison. She returned to her car and called the management studio, telling them to get ready. Then, she finally got through to Ned. "Hey, Mr. Fletcher. Did your

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

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
