Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 967
"Ms. Lawson said that in the past, too…" Sean smiled, his gaze landing on Angeline as she approached him and Nathaniel."Shane" didn't wear glasses, and the smile in his eyes was on full display. His gaze was somewhat provocative. It was different from Sean's usual level-headedness and gave everyone the impression that "Shane" was a promiscuous playboy.Robert's expression darkened. He knew what Sean was up to as soon as the latter had shown up. Sean was setting the foundation for his future with Angeline. He wanted to stand proudly beside her, so he used his face and identity as Shane Kingston to appear before everyone who knew Sean.With his face, everyone would understand why Dexter had accidentally killed Sean when Shane was his actual target.Since Shane, who'd escaped death thanks to Sean, had the nerve to show up here, no one would connect him to the late Sean Lawson. Some would even suspect that Sean was Shane's twin.Fortunately, Robert had already asked Asher to take Y

Angeline walked over to Nathaniel with a smile. She linked arms with him and looked at Sean. "It's nice to see you again, Mr. Kingston.""Congratulations on your engagement," Sean said. He held out a hand to her."Thanks." She took it and shook it. But as she retracted her hand, he squeezed it.Nathaniel's assistant led Sean to his seat as everyone watched. Meanwhile, Kieron and Lara hurried over to Angeline and Nathaniel. Kieron exclaimed, "My God. He looks just like Sean! Are we sure they weren't twins?"Nathaniel said, "I heard from Angie how similar Shane looked to Sean, but I didn't expect them to be almost identical. I find it hard to believe they weren't related!""Oh, come on. Actors and their stunt doubles look similar, too, don't they? They can't all be twins!" Lara said. "If you ask me, I would've thought they were one and the same if not for the difference in their demeanors. Give the guy a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he'd be Sean!""Now that you mentio

Kieron was waiting just inside the banquet hall. When Nathaniel returned, Kieron threw an arm around his neck and said, "Man, if Sean were still around, he would never have allowed you to have anything to do with Angeline!""You should stop mentioning him in front of Angeline. She didn't say it, but it's easy to see that she had shared a close bond with him. She always becomes glum at the mention of him," Nathaniel said."My, my, my. You're already starting to stand up for her," Kieron joked. "Back when you married my sister, you two were steadfast in your beliefs that the marriage was nothing more but a political arrangement and that you wouldn't develop feelings for each other."You guys couldn't bring yourselves to have a real relationship because you knew each other too well, right? Don't tell me your feelings for Angeline are changing now.""No, not really. To Angeline, having a fiancé like me will only solidify her position at Lawson Global. After all, she and Sean were b

Angeline turned to look at Sean. She'd just gotten to her feet and was about to urge him to leave when he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into his arms."Stop!" Her heart raced as she glanced at the door. She kept one hand before her chest and the other on Sean's shoulder."I missed you." He tightened his hold on her waist and pulled her closer to him."Sean!" Angeline warned in a lowered voice. The palm she had on Sean's shoulder was clammy with sweat."I'll leave after a kiss." Sean didn't give Angeline the chance to say no. He leaned close to her and rasped into her ear, "My wife's getting engaged to someone else. It might be fake, but I do need to be appeased."Or… would you rather I have my way with you here now? You should know I've been holding myself back since we parted—that's a long time." He pressed a hand behind her waist, his insinuation clear.Angeline's ears turned red, and she caught his wrist. "Sean, stop!""Kiss me, then. Five minutes is a

Sean's breathing mingled with Angeline's. The only sounds in the room were of their breathless pants and their tongues dancing with each other.He kissed her with everything he had—he was aggressive and forceful. It made her head spin and her tongue go numb. Only then did he release her.Sean pressed his forehead to Angeline's and wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes as he gasped for breath. He looked down at her lips, which were red and swollen from his ministrations. He asked huskily, "Do you want more?"She shook her head, knowing that things would get out of hand if they were to continue. She pushed him away, her hand feeling it was made of jelly. "Keep your promise…"Sean tucked some loose strands of hair behind her ear and said in a low voice, "I had to find a proper reason to cover up my trip back here. My parents' accident happened here, and the police found something, so I had to come back to check it out."If everything goes smoothly, I might be able to end all

Charlotte turned to look at Wanda tearfully. She kept shaking her head, saying, "You know how I've been by Ms. Dalton's side 24/7 these days because she can't be left alone. I didn't even dare sleep! I was just exhausted…"I thought that after yesterday's press conference, Ms. Dalton would do as you said and stay out of the public eye for the time being before coming across the right opportunity to make a comeback. I didn't expect her to sneak out!"Wanda knew Charlotte had been put through the wringer recently and also how attentive she'd been to Ingrid. She quickly wrapped an arm around Charlotte's shoulders and patted her back soothingly before looking at Ned.Wanda said, "Ingrid has a mind of her own, Mr. Fletcher. We can't possibly predict her every move, and if she was determined to sneak out and crash Ms. Lawson's engagement party, what would we be able to do about it?"Wanda was truly incensed this time. "If you're so worried about her causing trouble, why don't you wat

Angeline stepped out of the elevator, flanked by her bodyguards. Then, she noticed a box at her doorstep. She recalled Kieron telling her that he'd given her and Nathaniel an engagement gift and that it had been delivered to Nathaniel's apartment at Grand Court Residences.She wondered if the delivery guy had mistakenly placed it outside her door.The bodyguards immediately guarded Angeline. One of them stepped forward to open the box cautiously. Inside lay a sketchbook and a ring box, which lay open. There was a pink diamond ring inside.When he saw it was at least nine karats, the bodyguard knew it had to cost a fortune. He wondered whether it was a surprise Nathaniel had prepared for Angeline, so he turned to Angeline and asked, "How should we deal with this, Ms. Lawson?"As soon as Angeline saw the ring, she knew who was behind the gift—it was Ned.The summer after their SATs, Ned had followed Angeline back to Anne's place. He'd secretly drafted designs for a ring and told A

"We didn't invite many people to the engagement party—those who came were from reputable families in Krontos. I heard Kingston Empire intends to move its business back to Lonla. We have a much larger market here, after all." Angeline poured herself and Nathaniel some water.She continued, "Hooper Group is currently the only local business that's working with Kingston Empire. It's expected that he took the opportunity to expand his network.…Nathaniel didn't linger after dinner. He told Angeline he would drop her off at work the following day before returning to his apartment.Later that night, Twitter exploded. A passerby had posted a photo of police officers carrying a bloodied Ingrid out of the hotel where Angeline and Nathaniel had held their engagement party.The post quickly shot to the top of the trending topics. It was captioned, "Ingrid Dalton suspected to have committed suicide to pay for her crimes."The people online didn't seem to like that, though. They complained

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
