Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 989
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

Angeline ignored Brayden. She came to meet Brayden to confirm if Sean was safe. Since Sean was safe, Angeline felt relieved. "Excuse me. I'm leaving." Angeline looked at Brayden's arm that was leaning against the window. "Where're you going?" Brayden stepped back before asking. "Business trip," Angeline replied. "Don't you want to know where he is injured?" Brayden furrowed his brows in discontent. "Why don't you beg me to tell you?" Angeline stopped rolling up the window and asked, "Will you tell me if I beg you?" Brayden pressed his lips and said nothing, afraid that Angeline might actually beg him. Of course, he couldn't tell her. Sean had specifically instructed him not to. However, the injury was indeed not severe. Sean could've escaped unharmed if it weren't for the maniac with Melissa secretly bringing her to Menko. But since it was almost over, there was no point telling Angeline. After the window was rolled up, Angeline and her bodyguard's cars quickly disa

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
