บททั้งหมดของ Second Marriage to Mr. Rich: บทที่ 421 - บทที่ 430

Ned dared not imagine how frightened Angeline must have been then. She, who was terrified of having sexual relations, had been drugged and forced to have sex with a stranger. She had to have been overwhelmed with fear and anguish.Under the influence of the drug, Angeline couldn't avoid having sex with a man, but Ned didn't believe she would willingly initiate sex with someone.That being said, what Mallory cared about the most was getting married to Zachary. She had finally managed to sink her claws into him and force him to marry her. Since she had sworn on her marriage that she was telling the truth, Ned felt compelled to believe her.While Ned was busy mulling the situation over, Angeline's car pulled up outside the building.After parking the car, Lenny turned around and saw that Angeline had fallen asleep in the backseat. He undid his seatbelt and got out of the car. Then, he opened the back door and called out softly, "We've arrived, Ms. Angeline. If you're tired, you should

"What does it matter to me whether you believe me?" Angeline tucked her windswept hair behind her ear. Her eyes were bright and guileless. "I don't care what you think of me, Ned."The blood drained from Ned's face, and his breathing sped up. His nostrils twitched as tears streamed down his face. He tentatively reached out a hand to hold Angeline's. "Don't say that, Angie, please. I know I made a mistake, but please don't give up on me!"You promised you wouldn't ever leave me behind, Angie. You promised you'd always be by my side!" He held her hand tightly and looked up at her tearfully. "You don't have to care what I think, Angie. I have no thoughts! I just want you to give me a chance. Don't leave me!"Before Angeline could say anything, he looked away from her and continued, "I know I'm not worthy of you now—not like this. I'll work hard, and I'll get better. I'll become worthy of you! Please, Angie, please. I can't live without you. You're my everything!"Ned sobbed. "I feel w

"Get out of my way!" Ned grabbed Lenny by the collar.Lenny merely held Ned's wrist calmly. His voice was cold as he said, "Can't you tell that Ms. Angeline doesn't want to see you now, Mr. Fletcher? As her bodyguard, I have no qualms about getting physical with you if you continue pestering her like this. And I'm sure you're no match for me."When he saw how Ned wanted to charge inside out of agitation, he held him in place and continued, "I don't know how deeply you and Ms. Angeline loved each other in the past."But even as an independent observer, I can tell there's no way you two can get back together—not with two lives between you. The more you pester her like this, the more you repulse her!"Two lives stood between them.Ned sagged like a ragdoll when he thought about Anne, who used to cook delicious meals for him, and Henrietta, whose smile had been as sweet as Angeline's.How could he be unaware of how much they meant to Angeline?Back then, Anne thought she didn't

As soon as she entered the apartment, Angeline smelled the food the housekeeper had kept warm for her. She glanced at the dining table to see the food laid out. She didn't have the appetite to eat anything now, though. Instead, she threw herself onto the couch.She was exhausted from throwing herself into her work today, but it also put her at ease. The stack of sky-high documents on her desk during the day made her understand that Sean was slowly handing over Lawson Global to her.It also meant the date of his departure was fast approaching. Angeline shut her eyes and threw an arm over them. She thought of Ned's tear-filled eyes, finding them laughable.She couldn't believe he actually had it in himself to feel aggrieved. Did he think using his memory loss as an excuse could wipe away everything that had happened? Did he think his regret could bring Anne and Henrietta back to life?As for those so-called friends from her past… Angeline initially intended to consider them acquainta

Moreover, Tina had always stopped Thomas from signing any organ donation agreements. She didn't think it was a good idea and felt it would bring her bad luck.That was why Thomas was confident Tina wouldn't have signed such an agreement a week before getting into an accident. But the police hadn't found anything unusual, and they were sure Tina's signature wasn't forged. The thumbprint on the agreement was also hers.Later, Thomas discovered Tina's information on the dark web. There was even an electronic stamp on it, indicating that the deal had been sold and completed.He'd put two and two together, realizing that Tina's death hadn't been an accident at all. Someone had orchestrated her death because a price had been put on her heart.When Angeline had heard Thomas' story, it reminded her of Henrietta. That was her reason for agreeing to help him find the person who'd stolen Tina's heart."I've already investigated most of the people I suspected. There are only three left now. I
