"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.

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,
"Katie is right!" George gritted his teeth. "Benjamin is our family's only descendant. We can't let anything happen to him no matter what!""You and Mom never managed to go to Krontos, so I'll go!" Katie said. "I don't think Benjamin's grandfather will just sit by and do nothing if he finds out that Benjamin is about to die! I'm sure he'll make Benjamin's aunt and that slut, Jodie, go for the test and see if they're a match for Benjamin!""But…" George thought about how the man in the car had looked at him, and a chill consuming him. "Would this work?""Mr. Lawson Senior knows that Benjamin is someone who shows his gratitude. He's just afraid that Benjamin won't repay him for his kindness and will only be grateful to us! "We'll just promise him that Benjamin can change his surname to Lawson. I believe that that will be great news for Mr. Lawson Senior. In any case, it'll be much better than having Angeline in the Lawson family!" Katie said.George immediately flew into a rage. He
