Second Marriage to Mr. Rich のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

The room went silent. It was so quiet, one could hear a pin drop.Angeline had a slim and petite figure. Even the winter jacket of the smallest size seemed too big for her. Her pale and sickly face was hidden by a long white scarf tied around her neck. Because she was so slim, her eyes looked huge.She stared at Ned and said, "I've already made a police report regarding your spiked drink at the event and your spreading of my nudes for revenge."Hearing this, everyone's reactions differed from one another.The couple sitting in the farthest corner with a wine glass in each of their hands exchanged glances. Panic was written in their eyes.The woman put down her glass and walked toward Angeline. She slinked her hands around Angeline's arm and said, "Angie, Ned only spread your photos because he was too angry. Don't you think making a police report is making a mountain out of a molehill? It's going to affect Ned's future!"Also, Ned's father has already managed to suppress the news.

After the spiking incident, Ingrid had refused to see Ned, crying and insisting instead that he should be responsible for Angeline if anything were to happen.Ned didn't want to lose the love of his life. He swore to the heavens that he never had sex with Angeline that night. However, he wasn't sure whether he'd actually done it or not.These few days, he'd been trying to separate Ingrid and Angeline, worried that Angeline would tell Ingrid about what happened that night.Seeing that Ingrid wasn't wearing a coat, Ned chided her with a frown and took the coat from her arms before covering her shoulders with it. He then pulled her into a hug and hurried into the building. "Let's go in!""I'm not going in! I still have a schedule in Shangton tomorrow, so I'm on my way to the airport now. I'll be returning late tomorrow night," Ingrid said, trying to push Ned away. She then looked at him and said, "I'm just here to give you your birthday present. Happy birthday! I hope you guys have

Angeline frowned and tugged the scarf before covering her nose and mouth. She said in a muffled voice, "If it doesn't affect the process, then I'd like to keep them on."Sean had his hands in his pockets as he leaned against the doorframe, watching the nurse tending to Angeline. He frowned and looked at Angeline when he heard her say that. He said in a firm tone that left no room for argument, "Take off your scarf and jacket."Angeline went silent for a while. Then, she slowly unzipped her jacket and untied the scarf around her neck.Just as the nurse got up to draw the curtains, Ned and Ingrid walked out of the opposite room after he was done being bandaged up.It was only for a fraction of a second, but Ned caught sight of the dark bruises on Angeline's chin and neck.How could a slight push from him cause such serious injuries to her?However, the blue curtains got in the way. He couldn't see anything past them. Ned looked at Sean's figure and felt a sudden wave of fear washing over

Angeline fitted the Lawsons' bill even better than Sean because she was able to control her emotions, withdraw herself, and do everything as she was told.Sean pushed his glasses further up his nose and spoke calmly. "The business industry isn't a small one, but it's also not that huge either. Whatever happened between you and the Fletchers' youngest heir will eventually reach the Lawsons' ears in Krontos.""It's the same with Ned. I won't have anything more to do with him after this," Angeline said, tugging at the hem of her shirt. "As soon as the police can prove my innocence, I'll finalize the divorce with him and leave Oceanford."She wasn't about to tell Sean where she was going."You won't have anything more to do with him after this?" Sean's eyes turned dark and deep. He looked like he didn't believe her at all as he leaned back on the couch. "Back then, you were also seated opposite me like this, telling me determinedly that Ned was more important than your life.""Not a

When Angeline caught sight of Ned at the door, her eyes and emotions turned cold.Ned was angry. When he saw how Angeline grew cold as soon as she saw him, he got even angrier."If we can finalize the divorce today, you had better get as far away from me and Ingrid as possible. I will arrange for the public apology tomorrow!""Ned!"Miles didn't think that Ned would come looking for Angeline on his own. He stood up in shock and tried explaining himself. "Uh, I'm here to find Angie to explain the drug incident to her. Lory wanted to explain things to you during your party last night, because it had nothing to do with Angie, but—""Aren't you tired of playing along with Angeline's lies? Both you and your sister?" Ned was furious as he projected all of his anger toward Miles. "You're all just worried that the police would prove that Angeline did it so you thought up a lame excuse to try to cover for her. You'd think I wouldn't know whether she gave me the wine that night?"Angeline
