"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
Juliet still felt that whether or not Jay was the daughter of Robert, the chairman of Lawson Global, the Lawsons should adopt Benjamin instead of Angeline.What currently bothered them the most was what Katie had said. Angeline had two children, and one of them was a boy. Compared to Benjamin, who was already an adult, Robert would be more inclined to leave his inheritance to a child who had grown up with him."I'll go and try!" Katie said. "Mom, George! Give me some money for the journey. I'll come back as soon as possible! If it doesn't work, I'll get Jodie back at least. Our dear Benjamin needs a kidney!"George thought for a minute and pulled out a cigarette from his pocket. He said thoughtfully, "But… we really don't have much money left! Why don't you go and see your man and see if he can help? After all, Benjamin is also his nephew. He can't just stand by and do nothing!""George! Don't you know I fell out with them because of Benjamin? My children don't even acknowledge me
They were hoping that Katie would be able to come up with the money on her own and abduct Angeline so that she could donate a kidney to Benjamin.Morty, the middle-aged man who shared a room with Benjamin, had been eavesdropping on them ever since he saw them go downstairs to discuss their plot. After listening to their plan, he hastily walked away and called Miles' assistant.The Locke family paid him to keep an eye on the Emmerson family.After Mallory had caused trouble the last time, Miles and Zachary had gone personally to Krontos to meet Angeline. They had promised Angeline that they wouldn't let the Emmersons cause any more trouble.Angeline's status was now different. They were afraid that if the Emmersons made a fuss, it would affect the Locke family's business. Therefore, they were willing to spend some money to take care of things. Miles knew that Benjamin was at his limit. He wasn't doing as well as he had been before, and if he got a kidney transplant soon, he wo
