Angeline lowered her gaze thoughtfully. Just then, Sally knocked on the door. "Mr. Lawson Senior, Ms. Angeline, dinner's served.""Let's eat first," Robert said. "I've yet to get back to Jeremy about this, so you can take some time to think things over. If you think it's feasible, we can start making preparations."You can head to the Hooper residence with me on Jeremy's birthday. But if you don't intend on going, I'll just bring the kids with me.""Alright." Angeline nodded and stood up.She took her seat at the dining table and took over from Sally to get food for the children. She'd just started peeling some shrimp for them when her phone rang. As she glanced at it, Sally handed her a warm towel.The call was from Nathaniel. Angeline wiped her hands before answering the call. "Hello?""Something's happened to the Scott family. Grace and Monica left the office in the same car today, and a drunk truck driver crashed into them as soon as they were out of the building. The

Kieron was about to hurry over to break up the fight when Angeline stopped him. He turned to look at her in confusion.Nathaniel said, "They're dealing with a family matter now, so we should stay out of it. Don't you see how the assistants and bodyguards are keeping their distance?"He signaled for Kieron to look at the assistants and bodyguards who were standing dozens of feet away from the Scotts."I'll hit him if I want!" Lara screeched. "Why are you suddenly bringing up the prenuptial agreement? You're pissed that I forced you guys to sign it back then, aren't you? You wanna talk about that, huh? Fine! Your brother's an innocent man who only married Grace because he genuinely loves her!"He's never once been interested in the Scott family fortune! If that's the case, I want him to write a statement now—tell the world that he won't touch a dime that his children will inherit if anything happens to Grace. The Scott family will guard their inheritance until they're of age!""I

"Yeah." Angeline nodded and looked at her phone.Rafael's smile slowly faded, and his expression became desolate when he saw she hadn't taken the coffee he was holding out. "Ma'am—Ms. Lawson, don't tell me you think my brother's orchestrated this."Ms. Lara was slandering him! Fabian and Grace are genuinely in love with each other. He had no idea who she was when they got together!"Angeline wasn't interested in listening to him talk about Fabian and Grace's love story. Just then, she noticed that the operating theater's doors had opened. She said, "I need to go check on things."She was about to leave when he grabbed her wrist. He looked up at her, sounding choked up, asking, "Do you think my family's unworthy, too?""I don't think I'm someone you can have a heart-to-heart with, Rafael." Angeline frowned. "The doctor's out of the operating theater. Aren't you going to check on Grace?"Only then did Rafael turn to look at the operating theater. He straightened up when

Fabian shook his head. "Initially, I thought Monica was putting on a one-man show. After all, she's the only one among the sisters who's ruthless enough to harm herself. However, she wouldn't go as far as to put her life on the line."I'm positive it isn't Lara. She may seem obnoxious, but she's the one who cares about their sisterhood the most.""Doesn't that mean the Scotts will suspect you?" Rafael frowned, feeling worried."That's only to be expected." A trace of irritation flashed across Fabian's eyes. "They won't say it aloud, but I'm sure they'll do some digging in secret. Don't be too worried, though. They won't be able to link me to something that I haven't done."…Nathaniel turned to look at Angeline, who was reading the news in the car. He asked, "What do you think of the accident?"She didn't answer. Instead, she stared dazedly at an article. The news of Melissa falling from a building was reported—the caption indicated that she'd been taken to the emergenc

Asher had worked for Robert long enough to know him well. He knew Robert hadn't stopped worrying about whether Angeline could hold the fort down at the Lawson family once he was gone.It wasn't because Robert doubted Angeline's abilities. It was because the Lawson family had announced to the world that Angeline was an adoptive granddaughter to protect Jessica.The worst part was that Angeline hadn't been raised by the Lawsons as Sean had been. She had only become a member of the Lawson family after she was fully grown.No one dared say anything now that Robert was still alive, but Robert was worried that the company's employees would rebel against Angeline once he was gone.Even Sean had only received their acknowledgment after getting engaged to Monica. After Sean had left, no one had caused a fuss, partly because Robert was there to hold the fort down. The other reason was that Angeline was the only one suitable for the job.Things would be different once Angeline married Nathan
