Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 975
Some people even went so far as to say that Ingrid probably felt that her life was still worth something. This was despite her impersonating Angeline to steal Ned and also pretending to have saved Simon back in the day.She'd threatened Angeline with suicide, claiming that she would end herself if Angeline refused to tell the world that she'd forgiven the former. That way, Angeline would regret her decision forever. After all, nobody would dare steal Angeline's life once Ingrid was gone.It had to be said that the online community was rather talented in speculating. The people involved in the incident had yet to clarify matters, but they'd already pretty much guessed the truth.Naturally, there were also certain people who mocked Ingrid for being so psychotic. How could a public figure act like that? No average person would've done the things she'd done.Even the most shameless person in the world wouldn't have used their life as a bargaining chip to force Angeline to announce they

"Once we're done dealing with all the trouble Ingrid has caused, you should start looking for a way out," Wanda said. After that, she grabbed her bag and left.Charlotte remained at the hospital and stayed by Ingrid's side. The latter woke up once but quickly fell asleep again. Then, Ned arrived.However, it seemed he'd only dropped by to check on Ingrid before heading to work. He told Charlotte, "I'll arrange for a carer who can keep a secret to come over later. When she's here, you can head home and take the rest of the day off. Come back again tomorrow."Before Charlotte could say anything, Ingrid woke up and rasped, "I don't want a carer. I don't want any strangers to see me like this!"Ned hurried over to her. "You're awake."Tears started streaming down her face when she saw him. He sat by her bed and said, "I asked the doctor about your condition. He said you'll be fine as long as you cooperate with the treatment. Once you've recovered, I'll send you abroad…"Ingrid sobbed

Ned looked incredulous and lost at Ingrid's words."Judging from the look on your face, I suppose Angie didn't say anything. Did she lie to me?" Ingrid immediately became agitated. She widened her eyes and struggled to sit up."I stabbed myself in the chest! How could she lie to me? How could she not tell the world that she's forgiven me? She said that she would do it if I dared—""Calm down, Ingrid!" Ned held her down by her shoulders. "You'll tear open the wound again!"Her face was streaked with tears, and her eyes were red as she cried, "How could Angie lie to me? She promised me she would do it. I stabbed myself in the chest, didn't I? I'm going to expose her to the media! I—"Before she could get any further, Ned tightened his grip on her shoulders. When she met his ice-cold gaze, she abruptly stopped.Ingrid didn't expect Ned to transform into someone completely different just because she said she was going to expose Angeline's true colors. He held her shoulders so tightly

"How dare you, Ingrid!" Ned growled."I can lose my career or you, but I can't lose both at the same time." Tears streamed down Ingrid's face. She stared at Ned, her eyes red. "Either you leave the country with me, or I give the recording to the media. The ball is in your court!"Charlotte stood at the foot of the bed, not daring to make a sound. She'd never seen Ned or Ingrid like this before.In the past, Ned had been ever-indulgent when it came to Ingrid. In fact, he would've given her anything she wanted.But now, Ned was being so fierce to Ingrid, and it was only because Ingrid had threatened Angeline.Of course, she'd also never seen Ingrid threaten someone so despicably. To Charlotte, Ingrid had always been a kind, naive woman. She spoke gently and didn't even raise her voice at the people around her.Ned stared into Ingrid's eyes. She choked up as she said, "Whatever it is… my career can't compare to my wish to be your wife and to share my life with you. I hope you'll cho

Ned's throat was dry. "Ingrid…""Please, Ned. If you're going to send me abroad, please come with me! I'll give you the recording, and I won't say anything. I can tell the media that it was all my fault! I don't have parents… "Uncle Henry and Aunt Carmen hate me because of Tommy. You're the only family I have left!" Ingrid's eyes widened. She looked pleadingly at Ned, her eyes red. "Don't overthink it! Give me the recording. When… When you've recovered fully, I'll go abroad with you," Ned said. "I don't want you to go abroad with me. I want you to stay with me and marry me!" Ingrid persisted. "Once we settle down abroad, I'll give you the recording!"Ned didn't agree to her request, but he didn't reject her, either. He walked out of the ward and stood at the doorway, feeling frustrated.Charlotte followed him out of the ward and tried to persuade him, "Mr. Fletcher, Wanda said that Ms. Dalton's future is ruined. She even told me to find a way to save myself. I don't think Wand

The more Ingrid thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She began sobbing sorrowfully in the empty ward.…Ever since Angeline had met Sean at the hotel during her engagement party, she felt uneasy. She couldn't help checking the news about Keman to see if there was anything about him. The rumors online said that Ingrid had been carried away from the engagement party by the police, covered in blood. They said that Angeline had told Ingrid that if she stabbed herself, Angeline would tell the media that she had forgiven Ingrid. That was why Ingrid had tried to take her own life at Angeline and Nathaniel's engagement party. Angeline hadn't taken much notice of any of the articles about it. The rumors also said that Ingrid possessed a recording that would prove the truth of the claims. After Jamie saw the news, he tentatively mentioned it to Angeline.Angeline only said that they could ignore it if it was a baseless rumor. However, if any social media accounts with large

Although Ingrid had admitted at the airport that it was all her fault, her fans and people on the Internet still speculated that she had fled abroad because she couldn't win against those investors.Others also surmised that Ned must have promised to get back together with Ingrid and to have a new start abroad as long as she didn't release the recording. Ned must have sacrificed himself to protect Angeline.However, the attention died down immediately when Lawson Global announced the launch of their newest microchip at a new product press conference.At their new product launch, Lawson Global announced an ecological chain of products. What amazed everyone was that once the system was completely updated, anyone who had the full range of products would receive a brand-new AI butler who could assist them in daily life. The promotional video included a detailed display of smart lifestyle products and auto-driving. It promised an unimaginable convenience in life and at work. It felt as

Melissa had been a bright, confident lady. She had enjoyed appearing at events in the past. Perhaps she was in poor health after falling off the building, she rarely appeared in public. The only time the media had captured photos of her was when she went to the mall with Brian. She had stuck closely to her father the entire time, and she was no longer as bright and lively as she used to be.There were reports that claimed that Melissa had suffered brain damage after falling off the building and only had the mental age of a six-year-old child.Angeline only looked through these news reports briefly.Sean had once told Angeline that Melissa had lost her memories and that she was now no different from a child. He was hinting at her to tell Thomas so that Thomas would stop going after Melissa. He wanted Thomas to know that Melissa had already paid for what she had done. However, even when Angeline saw the photos of how different Melissa appeared and how closely she stuck to Brian,

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
