It felt totally meaningless. If Sean wanted to make sure Melissa stayed safe and happy for the rest of her life, the only way he could do that was to accept her as his actual wife. And if he didn't change his mind about keeping Melissa safe, Angeline probably wouldn't ever have the chance to see him return to her side.Fortunately, she was no longer the type who would throw caution to the wind and act like a moth to a flame. Not after the torment and pain she'd suffered in her relationship with Ned.There were many bumps in life that would appear at times and places that one didn't want them to. Falling and tripping once was an accident, but allowing it to happen again was a display of stupidity.Angeline opened the door and headed to the elevator. Taylor and Jamie hurried after her. Neither of them dared to ask her anything, but they could sense she wasn't in the best of moods.Once in the elevator, Taylor watched as Angeline pulled the engagement ring Nathaniel had given her out

"I don't get to see you guys all the time, and I don't have any work tonight…" Angeline protested."Don't force yourself to drink when you're unhappy. It's bad for you." Gregory sighed. "I'll talk to Ned and tell him not to get you implicated in the mess between him and Ingrid.""Nah, there's no need. I don't care about that." Angeline's expression was aloof. Her voice was calm and composed, but there was no hiding the iciness in it.Gregory understood now. No matter what things were like between Ned and Ingrid, Angeline wouldn't be affected by them. She lived life at her own pace and wouldn't get involved with them. So why was she unhappy? Or rather… why was she so sad?Her phone vibrated. She glanced at it and saw that it was Danny calling. Worried that it was about Thomas, she grabbed her phone and stood up. "I need to take this call."She left the private room and answered the call. "What's up?""Tom's awake. I'm calling to let you know." Danny sounded tired. "He… He's not do

"Angie likes Sean." Jessica turned back to the flowers. "She's only happy when she sees him."Jeremy was taken aback, and Robert was shocked by her words. He feigned sadness and sighed. "Jessica must miss Sean, as I do. If he were still around… Angie wouldn't need to work so hard."Jeremy thought Jessica had inadvertently upset Robert by mentioning Sean, so he said in a low voice, "Jessica didn't mean to bring Sean up. Anyway… I liked Sean, too. I thought about having my granddaughter try things out with Sean, but the Scott family was faster than me. Well, it's too late to talk about that now…"No one wouldn't be saddened at the mention of Sean. Who would've expected him to be unfortunate enough to look identical to Shane Kingston and to get caught in Dexter's ambush of Shane? The youngest and most outstanding heir to Lawson Global had been taken away by an accident."Sean wouldn't like your granddaughter, too," Jessica said. She sounded gentle and polite.Jeremy was lost for word

Angeline took the tablet from Taylor and quickly scrolled through it, reading the comments people had left on Mallory's tweet.It turned out the tweet was the reason the netizens had been so confident that Ned had announced he'd regained his memories on TV and had called off his engagement to Ingrid because he wanted to get back together with Angeline.Mallory had used her identity as Angeline's childhood friend to talk about how Angeline and Ned would eventually make their way back to each other now that Ned had regained his memories. She mentioned that she and the rest of their friend group had witnessed the love between Angeline and Ned and fully supported their reconciliation.If not for Nathaniel and Aurelia tweeting about Nathaniel's proposal to Angeline, Angeline would've been dragged into the mess between Ned and Ingrid. She wouldn't be able to rid herself of the suspicion before she announced her marriage to anyone, and it would even affect Lawson Global.It was highly lik

"But your friend—" Jessica said."She's not my friend," Angeline cut her off gently. "I don't have many friends, but they're the best friends I could ask for. I'll bring them over for a meal in a few days so that you can meet them, okay?""How can you say I'm not your friend, Angie? We grew up together! Are you upset at me because of Ingrid?" Mallory sounded like she was about to cry. She turned to Jessica again. "Ms. Lawson…"Jessica turned to glance at Mallory, whose fists were clenched as she stood by the couch. She thought about what Angeline had said, then said hesitantly, "But this…""She's here to ask Lawson Global for help. She couldn't get into the building, so she got in here by pretending to be my friend." Angeline smiled at Jessica. "We were in the same school when we were younger, but we're not friends."Jessica looked uneasy. "Have I caused trouble for you? I just wanted to know more about your past…""No, of course not. I know you only let her in because you heard
