"The next step for our laboratory is to find more patients for testing. Once they've passed the test, we can roll it out. And then, Vitality Biotech's technology won't be behind Lawson Global by too much. "And next, perhaps we could collaborate with Lawson Global in the medical microchip technology field." Danny changed the subject back to the main topic to stop Angeline from thinking about Thomas. It was thanks to Vitality Biotech Group that Lawson Global could roll out such a powerful AI while managing to keep it completely under wraps previously. …Angeline knew she would meet Sean soon but never expected it to be this soon. She had just returned from a business trip when Nathaniel called to ask her out on behalf of Sean. "You know, Hooper Group and Kingston Empire are working together, and our collaboration is becoming increasingly tight-knit now. After Dexter got arrested, the entire Kingston Empire fell onto Shane's hand. "So, although Shane said he had your secretary'
Nathaniel wasn't even in charge of Lawson Global and Hooper Group's new project. Instead, it was Aurelia. But Nathaniel agreed to Angeline's request unexpectedly. "I'll try my best for Lawson Global!" Nathaniel said. "Shane will arrive at 3 pm tomorrow. I'll book for dinner at 7:30 pm in one of the restaurants I own. I remember you liked how they prepared their seasonal vegetables! Then, I'll pick you up from work before the dinner." After hanging up the phone, Angeline continued immersing herself in her work. Before Angeline finished her work, Taylor came in with some documents, saying Hooper Group suddenly compromised a little for the collaboration project, so they had to review the contract again. Angeline never expected Nathaniel to take her casual remark about offering a concession for the collaboration project seriously. "Yeah, I knew about this. Have the legal team review the contract, then sign it if there's no issue," Angeline said. "Sure!" Taylor replied before
The restaurant belonged to Nathaniel, and everyone knew he booked the private room to serve a special guest. Sandra was assigned to serve them because of her good looks and close relationship with the manager. She originally planned to show a good impression to Nathaniel, but she felt a little something when she saw Sean, believing that it was fate to let them meet each other here. The first time she saw him, she felt that he was either rich or noble. Now that Sean had appeared in the private room as Nathaniel's guest, Sandra confirmed he was a wealthy aristocrat. If she could strike up a conversation with Sean and make him remember the car accident with her mother, who knew if something might happen between them? But out of Sandra's expectations, Nathaniel requested to change her out. It was okay if she got changed, but if the manager found out she was striking up a conversation with the guest, she might get fired. Striking a conversation with the guest was the biggest tab
"Look, Ms. Sterling! He knows me! He's that man's assistant! It was Mr. Powell right here who handled my mother's compensation when she was in the car accident!" Sandra held Taylor's shirt tightly. "I didn't lie, and I have no ulterior motives!" Angeline turned around and looked at the teary-eyed Sandra before asking Taylor, "What's wrong?" "She's the daughter of the woman who was in the car accident with Mr. Lawson," Taylor said. "Mr. Lawson believed the accident implicated her mother. Plus, their family wasn't well-off, so he had me pay for their medical expenses and handled the compensation matters with the at-fault driver." Hearing this, Sandra looked at Aria. "See, Ms. Sterling! The Mr. Lawson that Mr. Powell mentioned is the man inside the private room! I wasn't striking a conversation with the guest!" As Aria hesitated, Taylor furrowed his brows and said, "Ms. Snowden, Mr. Lawson has passed away." Sanda was shocked. "T-That can't be! I saw him in the private room!"
Before Angeline could say anything, Sean continued, "How about you consider it before giving me an answer, Ms. Lawson?" Angeline's phone rang when Sean finished speaking. She looked at it, and it was a call from Eric. Angeline was about to hang up when Sean said, "Are you not going to answer it to see what they say, Ms. Lawson?" "Judging by the way you phrase it, is it related to you, Mr. Kingston?" Angeline didn't rush to answer Eric's phone call. Sean smiled. "Answer the phone first, Ms. Lawson. Then, we'll talk." Angeline answered the phone, "What's wrong?" "The witness turned against us," Eric said solemnly. "Luckily, we used an anonymous account to transfer him the money. But he showed the proof of transaction, saying someone bribed him." After hearing that, Angeline understood everything. She replied, "I'm aware of this. I'll get back to you." Angeline looked at Sean after hanging up the call. "Mr. Kingston, you came prepared, huh?" "I never fight uncertain batt
Angeline stared at Sean and said, "I don't think a meet-up is a great idea. But I can ask him if he's willing to have a phone call with you. And I'll be present during the whole call. "I just wish Mr. Kingston wouldn't use me or anything to do with me as a bargaining chip unless you want to be enemies with me." Sean understood what Angeline meant. Sean used his identity as Shane to discuss this matter with Angeline because he didn't want to be on the opposite end with her. Perhaps Sean might just be fooling himself with this method, but deep down, he really didn't want to be at odds with Angeline. "Of course, I don't want to be at odds with Ms. Lawson because of this matter. I'm sure you can see my sincerity through my visit this time." Sean's features appeared very gentle under the warm lights of the restaurant. He continued with a calm tone, "Do you mind contacting your friend now, Ms. Lawson? I'll be eternally grateful!" Nathaniel turned to look at Angeline, hesitating i
Without waiting for Thomas' reply, Sean continued, "I'm sorry that Melissa forcefully took your sister's heart. It's only right that you seek revenge for your sister. I believe any brother would do the same…""Enough of this pompous talk. I want to speak with you alone," Thomas said. Angeline creased her forehead. "Tom…" "I want to speak with him alone." Thomas insisted. Sean looked up at Angeline with a deep gaze and replied, "Sure!" After giving Thomas his contact information, Sean hung up his phone and told Angeline and Nathaniel, "Sorry. I'll be right back." "Mr. Kingston," Angeline called. Sean stopped as he was opening the door and turned to Angeline. Angeline turned to Sean, and their eyes met. She said with a stern look, "You'd better not try to threaten Thomas with dirty tactics. The scale of Kingston Empire, even together with Trustworth Group, is no match for Lawson Global and Vitality Biotech Group. "Thomas isn't just my friend. He also saved my son's life.
Angeline held the glass before her and gazed at Nathaniel. "No. I just don't want to lie to you." Nathaniel rubbed his chin. "If you don't want to lie to me, tell me. Am I one step closer to being your friend?" Angeline smiled and said nothing. Angeline kept looking at the door, her mind occupied by the phone call between Sean and Thomas.After 20 minutes, Sean returned to the private room. The food had already been served. Angeline looked at Sean as he sat opposite them and said, "I've reached an agreement with Thomas. Ms. Lawson, let's put an end to this matter. Thank you for helping me contact Thomas." Angeline nodded. "Of course, I have no issue if you two could come to an agreement. Since this is settled, you guys may continue with the dinner. I'll be leaving now." "I'll see you off!" Nathaniel stood up. "It's okay. I have to check on Thomas on my way back." Angeline glanced at Sean before leaving. Angeline called Thomas when she entered the car. "What did you dis
