Sean had to admit that he genuinely doubted that Melissa had lost her memories.Lori hadn't paid much attention to Melissa. The latter wasn't really willing to interact with her. The person who spent the most time by Melissa's side was the carer Sean had gotten for her."You don't need to worry about her," Lori said amicably. "I think she's been quite obedient since you told her off the last time. She's also the same princess she's always been. She knows exactly how to tell the maids to care for her so she's more comfortable."Although Lori was joking, her words made Sean frown. He said, "Got it."The Scott family had kept Monica's attempted assassination under wraps, and nothing had been leaked to the media. Melissa probably still had no idea that Kirby had been arrested.The only news about the Scott family that the media had reported on was that Monica, the shoo-in as Scott Incorporated's future leader, was already dating someone whom her family had approved of.Lori asked

Kirby hadn't left himself any room for escape after this assassination attempt. That was why he'd turned his phone off and hidden it somewhere. He didn't have anything on him to prove his identity. But he hadn't expected Lonla authorities to find out who he was so quickly.Still unable to reach Kirby, Melissa frowned and looked through the news. Perhaps it was because she constantly checked for news on Monica, but she soon saw a photo of Monica leaving a restaurant hand-in-hand with a man.She was dressed comfortably in flats and sunglasses. She held a coffee in one hand, and her other hand was locked with the man's. He was tall, and he held Monica's bag in his other hand. He'd turned to face her as he said something to her, and they were laughing.Melissa was taken aback. The man holding Monica's hand was handsome but evidently wasn't Sean. She was stunned. She wondered if the man rumored to be Monica's boyfriend wasn't Sean.She continued reading the article. Someone in the comme

Sean held Angeline's hand. "I'll deal with this. I'll get you a glass of water.""I want to take a shower first…" Angeline massaged her temples. "Today's liquor seemed particularly strong, and I was in the wind earlier. My head's aching.""Take a bath, then. I'll draw you one," he said softly."Okay." She nodded. "Thanks."Sean drew Angeline a bath in the master bedroom's bathroom. When he came out and saw her leaning against the couch, looking tired while resting her eyes, he went to the kitchen to get her some water with honey.Just then, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw the call was from an unknown number. Still, she answered it. "Hello?"The person on the other end of the line didn't seem to expect her to answer. He sounded choked up as he said, "Angie…"Angeline opened her eyes with a frown. It was Ned. She'd previously set her phone to reject all calls from unknown numbers but later changed it because Kirby was arrested. She'd forgotten to change it b

Angeline didn't want to leave any photos of Jessica at the Emmerson residence. After all, she knew the latter was still alive. So, she'd destroyed the photo before leaving the place. Ned had been there with her.Now, Ned headed to the back of the car and opened the trunk, pulling out a photo slotted between the pages of a notebook. He handed it to Angeline.Her pupils constricted at it. In the photo, Jessica was haggard and almost skeleton-like after the torment she'd been through, and her eyes had been devoid of light. The clothes she wore were Juliet's—she'd only been allowed to change into them for the photo."I happened to stumble upon a secondhand store owned by someone from Lonla when I was abroad, and I found this photo inside. I bought the whole album and took this photo out for you." Ned fixed his gaze on Angeline.He continued, "Later, I saw the photo Mallory posted on her Twitter. You were too young then, so you might not remember…"He took out his phone and pulled up
