"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,
Angeline stood outside the rehabilitation room and looked through the floor-to-ceiling window with pressed lips. After an unknown length of time, when Thomas turned around to walk back, he stopped after noticing Angeline and Heather standing outside the floor-to-ceiling window. "Come! Let's go in," Heather said as she walked toward the rehabilitation room's automatic door. Seeing Angeline holding a tablet and Heather, who usually spent all her time in the lab, Thomas knew they had found some leads. He walked to the resting zone with the help of the mechanical equipment before taking a towel to wipe the sweat off his face and neck. He looked at Angeline and said nothing, but his gaze fell upon the tablet in her hands. "We've found the evidence, and the chain of evidence is fully established. I've asked Eric when I'm on my way here. He said as long as we're willing to pay, the person who provided the evidence is willing to be the witness. "I've asked Eric to get it done, and
If the law failed to bring justice, Thomas would take matters into his own hands to avenge Tina. Of course, this time, Thomas wouldn't let Angeline, Eric, or anyone know about it. Thomas didn't tell any of them.Angeline nodded. "Don't worry. I'll do my best to ensure fairness in the legal process regarding Tina's matter so that no one could exploit it." Thomas nodded. "I trust you." Thomas had never believed in the legal process to bring justice to him and Tina since the beginning. Whether in Keman or Dailand, these criminals worked with the governing authority, and even the local military was involved. Although the evidence Angeline had shown didn't contain any of it, Thomas, who had operated in the grey area for many years, knew otherwise. Eric continuously monitored the development of this matter after handing the evidence to the police, even providing necessary assistance when needed. However, the police were temporarily withholding their actions after receiving the
"Do you mind sharing what it is? I'll help you out if you need me," Nathaniel said. "It's just a minor issue. Don't worry. But sorry for canceling our plans today." Nathaniel sensed Angeline didn't want to say and said, "Well, just call me if you need me." After hanging up the phone and giving heads up to Taylor, Angeline had the driver send her to the Night Palace. Angeline didn't go inside when they arrived at the Night Palace's entrance. Instead, she stayed in the car and had her bodyguard talk to the bouncer, asking Brayden to come down and meet her. The bouncer glanced at Angeline's luxurious car before going in to inform Brayden, saying a woman of considerable background and status with the family name Lawson would like to meet him. Hearing it was a Lawson, Brayden instinctively knew it was Angeline. He furrowed his brows and grabbed his coat before going down. Brayden chuckled as he saw Angeline's unforgettable pretty look through the luxurious car parked by the si
