"Shane and Melissa must've gone out of their way to head to Dmont so they could negotiate with Angeline Lawson." Dexter stood before the window. His ruthless expression was reflected in it. "We have to think of a way to deal with them.""Based on what we found, Sean Lawson, the man we accidentally killed, was Angeline Lawson's relative. He helped her a lot while she was growing up; he didn't even give up on her when she was comatose." Cain held a dossier on Angeline. "So, she'll likely work with Shane to avenge Sean Lawson.""We can't let that happen. Shane pulled some dirty tricks to kick me out of Kingston Empire's management team, but there are still people on my side. Still, if he manages to get Angeline to work with him, he'll gain a steady foothold in the company." Dexter turned, frowning as he lit a cigarette."Even if Angeline doesn't care about Sean, there's no denying she stands to gain from his death. To prove her innocence, she'll definitely choose to work with Shane to

"Is this necessary?" Bart raised an eyebrow at Lenny.The head security guard zeroed in on Ivan—perhaps it was because he didn't look like a local. How did you two get in here?"Outsiders weren't allowed on these premises, after all."We climbed over the wall!" Ivan said truthfully."Leave now, or we'll report you to the police!" The head security guard stepped forward and shoved Ivan angrily.Ivan wanted to retaliate, but Bart stopped him. The latter smiled with his eyes on Angeline. He said to Ivan, "C'mon, let's wait outside."Heather stayed by Angeline's side until the latter got into the car. The former said in a low voice, "Hurry up and return to Lonla; don't linger in Dmont. Things aren't as safe abroad, after all. That foreign-looking man obviously isn't the good sort. Head to the airport without stopping anywhere else, okay?""Alright." Angeline nodded. "Don't spend all your time in the lab, okay? Your health should be your priority.""Alright, alright." Heather backed

Angeline said half-jokingly, "Don't tell me you thought I'd purposely looked into Ms. Lane's background because I was jealous of her.""Are you?" There was a hint of a smile in Sean's voice. "I'd be happy if you were."He would be beyond pleased if Angeline were jealous of him and Melissa; he didn't like how she'd looked so calm and composed that night at the restaurant.Sean had a strong, almost uncontrollable desire to possess Angeline at all times. Similarly, he hoped she felt the same about him, even if he knew this wasn't the best time for his possessive side to come through.If Angeline felt as possessive over him as he did for her, she would have to be tormented every night. That was how he felt, anyway."A little," Angeline said. "I know Ms. Lane is like family to you, though. She's like… how Granddad is to me.""Yeah. Melissa's nothing more than a sister to me.""It's getting late; you should go to bed. How should I contact you if Dexter comes to me and asks to work tog

Someone disagreed with Gary. "We won't stand to gain if we wait until everyone else is already in the game.""But these live streams… Some foreign companies tried to make it big through live streams before, but nothing worked. They lost everything they had." There were also people on Gary's side."Hooper Group is just trying things out on their own platform, but we're acquiring a whole company. That's a bit of a high price to pay if we fail, isn't it?"Just then, Taylor knocked on the door and entered the conference room. He gestured for whoever was outside the room to enter."Sorry for being late." Micah Quilton, the head of Lawson Global's entertainment sector, walked in."It's fine. I was the one who called for a last-minute meeting. Have a seat," Angeline smiled while saying.Taylor walked to her and lowered his voice. He said, "Mr. Webb of the investment department says he still needs some time."Hanson Webb was the new head of the investment department and Daniel's son. He

Robert had set his sights on Hanson partly because he felt Hanson was a pretty good guy and partly because he felt Hanson could help Angeline in her career. But Hanson didn't dare dream of being with Angeline.Angeline's phone rang as soon as the words were out of Hanson's mouth. It was Asher. Angeline had a feeling she knew what the call was about; she stopped Hanson from leaving and put the phone on speaker. "Hi, Mr. Millstone.""Hello, Ms. Angeline. Mr. Lawson Senior and Mr. Webb Senior are meeting for dinner; they wanted me to invite you to join them," Asher said cheerily.Angeline glanced at Hanson, who was smiling wryly. "Alright. Send me the time and place."She hung up and smiled amicably at Hanson. "I'm adopted, and you're the biological son. Who do you think would stand a better chance of going against their elders?"Hanson's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Angeline to be so humorous when she'd been so serious earlier. "Wait, you mean…""Mr. Webb Senior feels he owes y
