"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!"

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

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

Angeline frowned and said, "I'm sure Shane had looked into Thomas and Tina's past. Some of Melissa's habits after she got the heart transplant that he told Thomas were the same as Tina's. "I'm not sure if they're true, but Thomas relented after hearing that." "To tell the truth," Eric said. "As long as Thomas can give up seeking revenge, we don't have to hold on to it either." "Yeah." Angeline nodded in agreement. "Thomas isn't stupid. I'm sure he knows that Shane has looked into them and deliberately made Melissa resemble Tina to make him relent. "But he mentioned that the heart in Melissa's body was the last proof of Tina's existence in this world. Thomas was touched by this the most."Eric went silent upon hearing this. Feeling weary, Angeline pinched the bridge of her nose. "I'm worried that Thomas hasn't given up on his vengeance. He might have other plans because he's worried about dragging us down.""I'll have Danny and Heather watch Thomas closely. Who knows if Thom

Angeline paused while taking off Sean's shirt. Tears started flooding her eyes. She looked at Sean's features, which looked more defined than before. She thought his facial features looked more well-defined back in the restaurant. But under the warm bedroom lights now, he looked significantly thinner to the point that his bones were visible. Angeline noticed another scar on Sean's back while taking off his shirt to change into the pajamas. She pressed her lips and helped him change into pajamas made of thin material before sticking fever-cooling patches on his forehead and neck. "Angie…"Hearing Sean's mumble, Angeline lay beside him and caressed his cheek. She faced him and replied, "I'm here." Sean grabbed Angeline's cold fingers with his big hand, then subconsciously nuzzled his cheek into her palm. He seemed to be feeling the cooling and comfortable temperature of Angeline's body.Sean let out a comfortable sigh while subconsciously moving closer to Angeline. Angeline h
