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
After hanging up, Miles pulled open the door and saw Mallory standing there. He frowned. "Why are you standing at the door? You should be keeping Zachary company downstairs…""Mom told me to call you down to eat!" Mallory bit her lip and asked, "Miles, do you think that the Emmersons are right? Does Angeline's adoptive mother in the photo I previously took look very similar to her biological mother in the photo I took?""Don't talk about that anymore. You leaked the photo, and if anything happens and triggers Mr. Lawson Senior, neither our family nor the Stones will be able to save you!" Miles warned harshly. "Alright, alright!" Mallory took his arm and promptly put her doubts out of her mind. She changed the subject. "Miles, I just saw the photos that my friend took last year when she sneaked into the engagement party of the Lawsons and the Hoopers. "I saw a photo of Shane, the one who suddenly returned to Kingston Empire in Keman. He looked exactly the same as Sean! If I hadn't
Mallory thought about how nervous and angry Angeline had been when the photo had been posted on Twitter. It made Mallory wonder if there was any hidden story.She decided that she had to investigate the matter.Mallory knew that Miles didn't want to offend Angeline and that he didn't want her to do so either.She felt that she had been at fault for not having a good attitude previously. If she found out about something, she could have a good discussion with Angeline. Even if she had to give in and beg someone, she would do it as long as it could help her family get through their current difficulties. She would do anything.Unfortunately, Mallory didn't find anything after spending a large sum of money on the investigation.However, Anne's neighbor told Jamie that someone had been to the village where Angeline and Anne used to live and had asked about Anne and Angeline's past. It didn't take Jamie long to find out that Mallory was behind it.Jamie and Taylor didn't bother Angeline
"I… I was just trying to help! I heard Philip on the phone that day. He said that Benjamin's biological mother looks very similar to Angie's adoptive mother! I even spent money to get someone to find out from Katie." Mallory's eyes turned red. "I just didn't want to see you having such a hard time…""Mallory, I've never scolded you before. I cleaned up your mess every time after you caused trouble! But I've told you many times not to interfere with Angie's affairs. Why didn't you listen? You haven't been helpful at all since the beginning. Instead, you've been causing me trouble!"Mallory looked at Miles and saw how he was suppressing his anger. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said in a choked voice, "Miles… I didn't mean to cause trouble for you. I wasn't trying to find something to threaten Angie with. "I just thought that if I found anything, I could try to help Angie and gain favor with her so that she would help our family! Miles… I didn't have any bad intentions!"When
Miles brought Mallory to Lawson Global to meet Angeline personally. But Angeline had no time to meet them as she had been in a meeting for the whole afternoon. The two kept waiting in Lawson Global's reception room until nightfall. Nathaniel heard that Angeline was working overtime that day, so he went to the office, bringing dinner with him. He saw Miles and Mallory sitting in the reception room through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass and asked Angeline's staff in the secretary's office, "Who are those people?" "I heard they are Ms. Lawson's old acquaintances in Oceanford. Ms. Lawson has been in a meeting that hasn't ended yet. We'd already asked the two to leave, but they kept waiting inside," the staff told Nathaniel everything, treating him like Angeline's pampered husband. "Looks like they're here to ask for Ms. Lawson's help." Nathaniel nodded. "How much longer will the meeting take?" "I don't know. There's no news from the meeting room. But I think it should be ending
"Yeah," Angeline replied before telling Miles, "Just let this matter pass. I hope there won't be next time! Jamie, please see Mr. and Ms. Locke out." "Wait!" Nathaniel maintained a smile and said, "When Angie was comatose back then, you two weren't her friends and didn't even visit her at the hospital. And then, when she woke up, neither of you behaved as friends should. Instead, you betrayed her behind her back!"So now, please have some dignity and stop using your relationship as Angie's friend as a cover to deceive and boast everywhere! I'm not Angie. Angie could forgive you, but if such words reach my ears, I'll have to explain a thing or two for my fianceé. You get what I mean, Mr. Locke?" Miles' expression turned sour from being embarrassed by Nathaniel. But given they came to apologize with their tails between their legs, he didn't argue and replied, "Yes, I understood!" "Let's go! I've brought you dinner. I saw you enjoyed the scallops yesterday, so I brought you more…"
Mallory didn't do anything except pay someone to look into Angeline's mother. Yet, she caused an exceptional and prideful man like Miles to be scolded by Nathaniel like a child!What made Angeline deserve this? "Mallory," Miles said tiredly, noticing what Mallory was thinking as she had her head down, biting her lips. "Don't be envious of Angie. Don't let envy cloud your mind. Although to you, Angie might be someone from a lowly background. You have to admit that Angie is remarkable. "In her short life in this world, she has faced countless trials and tribulations and has overcome them all. Regardless of whether she'd received help in all these hardships, her ability to get to where she is today is a testament to her skills." "I know, Miles!" Mallory replied, feeling slightly at ease from the unbearable feeling from a moment ago. "I won't provoke her without any reason anymore!" Miles patted Mallory's head. "You don't have to be jealous of Angie. I would much rather you be
But who would've thought that when Lawson Global was in Angeline's hand, her management was more aggressive and dominant than Sean's? And now, Lawson Global had undoubtedly become the top of Krontos' four most reputable families. Miles cleared his throat as he recalled his parents recently asking him to go on blind dates. Despite his parents telling him to pick the lady that he liked the most, he kept considering the pros and cons of all these heiresses that he went on a blind date with. But Miles had already met someone who could astonish him for a lifetime in his youth. How could he fall for another woman anymore? After sending away Miles and Mallory, Angeline received a call from Eric as she returned to her office. Angeline looked at Nathaniel, who was arranging dinner on the table, before answering the phone, "Hello…""I've met with an informant last night. He has evidence implicating Trustworth Group in human trafficking. And…" Eric pressed his lips before continuing,
