"Send Helen a bouquet on behalf of the company," Angeline said stoically."Yes, ma'am." Jamie hung up.Angeline suddenly felt her toast had gone stale. She finished her milk before leaving the apartment. Lenny was already waiting for her outside. "Morning, Ms. Angeline!""Good morning." They rode the elevator together.Once again, they stopped at Brayden's floor. He walked toward them while swinging his keys."Morning, Mr. Green," Lenny said.Brayden nodded and greeted Angeline with a winning smile. "Morning, Angeline!"As the elevator doors slid shut, he said, "Did you see the news this morning? Someone was stabbed six times after being burgled. She ran down to the sixth floor, but the burglar refused to let her off the hook, causing her to fall from there."The burglar only left after that. Would you happen to know who that person offended?"It didn't sound like the supposed burglar had been there for a burglary. It appeared as though he'd been there to murder. Angel

Robert picked up the dossier on Jesse. It indicated that Jesse had dated two other women after that, but the relationships had been short-lived. According to his friends, it was because there was someone in his heart whom he couldn't forget.Robert couldn't help nodding in approval. Jesse seemed like a great guy. He had morals and was also faithful. More importantly, his family wasn't complicated."He's the second son in his family, so there shouldn't be any issue with him becoming a matrilocal son-in-law." Asher had already considered the far future.Robert was quite satisfied with the pool of young, capable men Asher had picked out. The main criterion for the selection was that they were all similar to Sean in one way or another.Whether it was their figure or personality, Asher had tried his best to pick men similar to Sean. For instance, all the young men were at least six feet tall and had slender, toned figures. In terms of their personalities, they were all the level-heade

"Would that be appropriate?" Angeline asked. "Before coming home, I asked Asher about this. It might be better for Ewan to learn from Mr. Xanders instead since he'll be taking over his family's company in the future. Mr. Xanders has so much more experience."It hasn't been long since I joined Lawson Global. I'm not as experienced as the company's veterans."Ewan could sense Angeline's hesitance in taking him on. He didn't want to force her into anything and leave her with a bad impression, so he smiled and said, "I think we should just go with Angeline's suggestion, Mr. Lawson Senior. I hope to learn much from her once I join Lawson Global, though.""Well, if you say so…" Robert turned to Angeline. "I'll leave Ewan in your hands, Angie. Remember to care for him like you would your family.""I will, Granddad.""I should be the one caring for her, Mr. Lawson Senior." Ewan smiled gently at Angeline. "We shouldn't do things the other way around."Robert chuckled. "We're

"Alright. Don't worry, Granddad," Angeline said.After hanging up, she called her housekeeper at Grand Court Residences and had her prepare lunch for Sean alone. Immediately after hanging up, Sean called her on her office's landline. "Hello?"Sean sounded brisk and businesslike on the other end of the line. "Did you approve the budget for the acquisition of a cinema in the second half of the year?""Yes. Is there something wrong?""I want you and Mr. Xanders in my office now."Angeline had Jamie retrieve the report on the cinema's revenue that had been given to her earlier. She also found a copy of the proposal to acquire the cinema. When she arrived at Sean's office, Gary was already there with Ewan."The project's already ongoing, so we'll lose a lot of money if we stop it now." After some simple calculations, Gary continued, "And I discussed this with Ms. Lawson."We felt that the information the marketing team presented and the cinema's historical revenue were enough t

Angeline was caught off guard. With one hand on Sean's shoulder, she reached for the remote on the table with the other. She made the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass panels turn into frosted glass.She stared at Sean for a while, unable to stop herself from getting mad. "Have I ever stopped you from doing the things you need to do? Did I say anything about you having a fiancée? And did I say anything about giving you a replacement to marry your childhood sweetheart on your behalf?"There wasn't a hint of fear as she looked into Sean's eyes. "I wasn't happy when you told me there was a chance you'd have to hold your childhood sweetheart's hand after returning to the Kingston family, but did I say anything about it?"She didn't back down despite sensing the chill coming from Sean.His voice was oddly calm as he said, "Didn't you stop yourself from saying anything because you don't love me like I love you?"Maybe she didn't even love him as much as she'd loved Ned."I disagre
