Angeline didn't plan on discussing the next course of action with Brayden. Instead, she got everything settled on the way to the police station."I think you and your subordinates know better than me what you should say to the police. Just make sure you mention the gun isn't real," Angeline stated coolly while texting someone on the phone.If it wasn't for Ned's presence in the car, Brayden would definitely have asked Angeline if she knew about Sean's intention to work with Bart."Aren't you scared that Bart might get revenge on you? You should know that Bart is a criminal whose hands are covered in blood." Brayden frowned deeply. "It's not like I can rush over to save your hide every time you're in danger.""I always learn my lesson. Do you really think I'm that dumb to give him another chance to take me away?" Angeline raised her head to glance at Brayden in the midst of her texting. The cold disdain in her tone was evident.Still, Brayden was concerned about the collaboration.

"Judging from your current condition, you should head to the hospital, Mr. Fletcher!" Taylor and Jamie ran after Ned.…Meanwhile, on his way home, Brayden pulled out a cigarette from the glove compartment. After biting on it, he'd yet to light it when Angeline said, "This car's an enclosed space. I'm not interested in inhaling secondhand smoke.""What a bother." He frowned. Despite his words, he removed the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray.She said sincerely, "Thanks for today."To be honest, if Brayden hadn't shown up there, she would've only been left with two choices. One would've been to put up a struggle to the death, while the other would've been to give herself to Bart."Promise me something if you really wanna thank me." Brayden was unsure if Angeline would agree to his request. "I hope you won't tell Shane about this. He'll be up against someone powerful in the future, so we need Bart's help."Bart shares the same enemy as us, and he's a desperado. As long as h

Danny was taken aback. "I've heard of Bart. He's infamous in Southeast Aciana for being a gangster. He's supposed to be the largest drug dealer and manufacturer there, but I don't know whether he's the guy you want, mainly because there aren't any photos of him anywhere."Angeline couldn't help feeling scared after hearing him talk about drugs. If the Bart that had abducted her was indeed the drug dealer and manufacturer Danny knew of, she could've been administered drugs while struggling for all she knew."Don't tell me you want to get into drugs, boss." Danny's tone turned severe. "We can't touch that!""No, I just wanted to find out more after hearing about him. It's getting late, so you should go to bed. Goodnight." Angeline hung up with a deep frown.Judging from Brayden and Bart's earlier conversation, they seemed to know each other well. If she added the Night Palace to the equation…Her scalp tingled. Was Brayden involved in drugs?With that thought in mind, she decided t

"Let's play by ear. I'll go for it if I have nothing planned by then." Angeline paused, then continued, "I want you to look into Lenny's girlfriend and her parents. Ned mentioned something about celebrities from his company being in a film. Find out who his current boss is."She couldn't sleep after hanging up, so she got out of bed and turned on her laptop to attend to the work that had been delayed because of Bart's abduction.…Angeline was taken aback when she opened the door the next morning to head to work. Lenny wasn't alone in waiting for her—four other professionally trained bodyguards were with him.When she showed up, the bodyguard in the lead stepped forward. "Good morning, Ms. Lawson. Mr. Millstone arranged for us to protect you from today onward.""Oh. Thanks for your hard work, then," Angeline said.Lenny bowed his head more. His guilt over what had happened the day before grew. He shouldn't have abandoned Angeline during his working hours because of Celia's parent

Those brands were left with no choice. Micah had run into trouble, so he called Taylor to try and reach Angeline. However, Taylor cut him off with a smile. "Mr. Quilton, Ms. Lawson is very busy every day. If you can't deal with a small matter like this, I might ask her if we can send someone to help you out."As soon as Micah heard this, he stopped complaining. "Things aren't going to turn out smoothly. If you need money, Ms. Lawson will give you money. And you need manpower, then she'll send you people. You can't keep asking her for solutions whenever you run into problems. After all, what are we getting paid for? Isn't finding solutions to problems our job? If you can't solve a problem, then you'll end up being the problem. Don't you think?"Micah broke out into a cold sweat. He felt the intimidating demeanor of Sean still lingered, even though he was now gone.Angeline always spoke nicely to them, which had given Micah the impression that she was very easy to deal with. "Ms
