After addressing the reporters, Nathaniel walked around the front of the car and drove away with Angeline. In the car, she was frowning, her expression clearly displeased."How about we release the recording?" Nathaniel asked."Isn't Ingrid holding a press conference tomorrow after 2:00 pm? I also heard they've arranged for reporters to interview someone in prison, likely Ingrid's former manager, in the morning," Angeline said with a faint smile."Ingrid's current manager is really going all out to clear her name," she added.Angeline hadn't been explicitly monitoring the situation in prison, but Taylor had been vigilant and kept an ear out for any news from there.So, when Wanda met with Linda, he had already received the intel.Nathaniel looked surprised when he said, "So they're planning a chain of events!""Just wait and see! The Norwalk family will soon make a move to clear their name. If they don't involve me, it's fine. But if they do, I won't hesitate to surprise them,"
As soon as Angeline entered her house, she changed her shoes and casually placed the items Brayden had given her on the shoe cabinet.She washed her hands before opening the fridge and taking out a water bottle, but she didn't drink it for some time. She knew Sean had sent the items through Brayden.Forgetting the water, she called Heather to inquire about Thomas' situation.Heather had just left the lab when she answered, "You don't need to worry about Thomas. Since you last spoke to him, he has been actively cooperating with the treatment. But there's something else I need to tell you.""What is it?"Heather pressed a button on the vending machine for a chilled Coke and replied, "Yesterday afternoon, someone went to Thomas' old ward looking for him. They spoke Endorian, so they probably weren't locals. "Since it's a ward under Vitality Biotech Group and Danny had specifically instructed to keep Tom's name on the room, it has not been used by any other patient. The nurses said
"Alright! I'll do as you say!" Danny said, looking at Heather, who had fastened her seatbelt in the passenger seat.He took a small blanket from the storage compartment, draped it over her, and then tenderly kissed her forehead.Noticing the dark circles under her eyes, he said, "Get some shut-eye. I'll wake you when we get home.""Okay," she responded.After hanging up with Heather, Angeline frowned, unsure if the people who had gone looking for Thomas were men sent by Sean or the Lane family.In truth, she trusted Sean's character. So, the men were most probably acting under the instructions of Brian and Melissa.She took out the phone she had kept powered off, hesitating to call Sean. She felt that if he knew about this, he would probably keep an eye on the Lane family and prevent them from bothering Thomas again.For Thomas' safety, she decided to make the call.Meanwhile, Sean was in a meeting on a Bluetooth headset when he heard the phone's vibration hidden from within hi
"If there's nothing else to say, I'll hang up first," said Angeline softly over the phone."Angeline…" Sean called out to her. "Do you really have to be engaged to Nathaniel?""Why?" she asked.She thought they had already clarified everything when they met that day.Before Sean could say anything, there was a knock on his study door."Mr. Kingston, Mrs. Kingston has woken up. She's in a bad mood and wants you to go to her," the maid said softly from outside.Upon hearing the maid's voice, Angeline said, "You should go."Sean quickly explained, "Melissa is not used to the hospital, so I brought her home with me. Initially, I planned to send her back to the Lane residence, but given her condition, she cannot be without me. "Just like before, we are staying in separate rooms. She has nurses and maids taking turns to look after her.""Okay, I understand," Angeline replied. "Go ahead with your business. I still have work, so I'll hang up now."With that, she ended the call.
"Alright!" Charlotte answered Wanda with a nod.She was about to leave to take care of it when Ingrid grabbed her and said, "Wait…"Her lips were trembling as if she wanted to say something.Wanda, feeling overwhelmed, urged, "We can't wait anymore! If Ms. Lawson releases a statement before us, you'll be finished—"Before she could finish speaking, her phone rang. It was a call from Ned. She knew he was calling to demand an explanation.She signaled Charlotte to proceed and immediately answered the call, "Hello, Mr. Fletcher.""Was that the script you gave Linda? To throw Angeline under the bus?" he questioned.Ned's voice filled with uncontained anger as if he was ready to tear someone apart.Wanda quickly explained, "We had instructed Linda to speak the truth. We had no idea she would suddenly say those things on the livestream. I just asked Ingrid if she had offended Linda before, thinking she might have done this on purpose to mess with her on the show."With a hand on her
RichieRich: "The former manager is testing the waters to see if there would be any backlash. If nothing happened and Ms. Lawson couldn't provide any evidence, then Ingrid would hold a press conference in the afternoon to say that Linda initially made a mistake and signed the contract on her behalf."At the time, Ingrid wasn't very popular and couldn't afford the fee for breaching the contract, so she negotiated with Ms. Lawson, who was supposed to take the money and promise never to reveal the truth. It was as if she had sold that favor to Ingrid."That's how this whole misunderstanding continued! But who knew Mr. Hooper would have a recording when Ms. Lawson had no evidence? Later in the afternoon, Ingrid will shift all the blame onto the former manager, claiming she didn't know why the manager said what she said."I believe things will play out as I expected. Everyone, just wait and see!"ICanFight: "I have to say, I suspect the person above is right! Then, they will probably sho
Wanda remained silent for a long while before she finally spoke. It seemed like she had made up her mind after much contemplation.Looking up at Ingrid, she said, "There's another way…""What is it?" Ingrid asked with her head raised, her eyes filled with tears."Get Mr. Fletcher to come forward and explain what really happened back then—that you wanted to come clean, but he and Linda insisted on covering it up."Wanda stood up and walked over to Ingrid, saying, "While Mr. Fletcher still feels guilty toward you, you can use that to your advantage! You can also push all the blame on Linda."After all, she lied first, and we don't know her motives. Lawson Global has already announced they will definitely sue her anyway!""But this—"Before Ingrid could finish, Wanda raised her hand to stop her and continued, "I listened to the recording of Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Hooper's conversation. "We can absolutely steer it in this direction, even embellish it a little. Talk about your strugg
Ingrid bit her lip as she fixed her gaze on the phone on the table. She didn't have much time left.After seeing how Ingrid was crying while staring at her phone, Charlotte took out her phone in a moment of determination. She had just launched her contact list when Wanda stopped her."You can't make the call! Only Ingrid can do it for herself. None of us can make decisions for her. She's in this mess now because Linda made the wrong decision for her back then. Do you want to repeat the same mistake?"Wanda saw through Ingrid's intention to shift all the blame onto Linda, but she didn't say it out loud.She had known Ingrid for some time now and knew that the latter always pretended to be undecided when, in reality, she had already made up her mind.Ingrid had always found ways to absolve herself and let others take the risks for her. Wanda felt Linda was too good for Ingrid back then. Linda had done all the dirty work for Ingrid and ended up in such a miserable situation.Wanda c
