Brayden couldn't believe Kirby had gone after Monica, who was surrounded by bodyguards, despite his condition. He hadn't cared about the consequences at all.After some thought, he decided to inform Sean about this. The latter's expression became extremely ugly when he heard that Kirby had gotten caught after trying to assassinate Monica, and he pursed his lips tightly.Prior to this, Angeline had warned him many times of the possibility that Monica's numerous accidents had to do with Melissa. He'd looked into the matter and had indeed found them to be linked to Kirby.He'd asked Kirby about it, but all the latter had said was that he'd grown up with Melissa and owed his life to Melissa and Brian. He would do anything to make Melissa happy.Kirby had also told Sean that he knew how deeply Melissa loved Sean and that his guess was that Sean's heart was with Monica, his ex-fiancée. Wanting to make Melissa happy and reduce her worries, he'd orchestrated the accidents… but failed to ge
The Scott family was determined to get to the bottom of this matter, especially Lara, whom the rest of the Scotts had wrongly accused this whole time. She kept a close watch on the investigation and swore to prove her innocence.…One day, Angeline asked Monica out for lunch at noon and brought up the attempted murder.Monica said, "My dad's going through a list of enemies we might have made. He's already started looking at names from my great-grandfather's generation. None of them are from Keman!"And why would I have anything to do with Kirby, an orphan with whom I've never met? I'm guessing he was hired by someone, or…""Or?" Angeline smiled, knowing Monica wasn't done."Or… well, I don't know. Our whole family's been racking our brains, but none of us can think of any old grudges against Trustworth Group." Monica frowned. "We don't have many overlapping businesses. In fact, their target market is Marvonian and Yuropian companies while our focus is in Lonla."I really c
"It'd be good if you could settle down with this guy and announce it as soon as possible. Otherwise, countless people will be eyeing you," Angeline said with a smile. "Just yesterday, my grandfather was talking about how sentimental you were."He was worried that you were still hung up on Sean because you haven't gotten together with anyone since his death. He even had Mr. Millstone keep an eye out for eligible bachelors so he could introduce them to you."Monica laughed. "Mr. Lawson Senior has genuinely handed the reins to you, huh? I can't believe he's even in the mood to play matchmaker for me."Angeline chuckled. "Granddad trusts me a lot. He's long since handed me the reins."Monica would be lying if she said she wasn't jealous of Angeline. Although the latter and Robert weren't related by blood, Robert trusted her."You're lucky, but it's also because you're capable of handling the responsibilities passed to you. The fact that you've established Vitality Biotech alread
Sean had to admit that he genuinely doubted that Melissa had lost her memories.Lori hadn't paid much attention to Melissa. The latter wasn't really willing to interact with her. The person who spent the most time by Melissa's side was the carer Sean had gotten for her."You don't need to worry about her," Lori said amicably. "I think she's been quite obedient since you told her off the last time. She's also the same princess she's always been. She knows exactly how to tell the maids to care for her so she's more comfortable."Although Lori was joking, her words made Sean frown. He said, "Got it."The Scott family had kept Monica's attempted assassination under wraps, and nothing had been leaked to the media. Melissa probably still had no idea that Kirby had been arrested.The only news about the Scott family that the media had reported on was that Monica, the shoo-in as Scott Incorporated's future leader, was already dating someone whom her family had approved of.Lori asked
Melissa was evidently taken aback. After a moment, she said, "No, I had no idea.""I actually thought Kirby sneaked over here because he was afraid we would stop him from following you when we just wanted him to focus on his recovery in Keman," Sean said casually, as though he were talking about something trivial.He continued, "He's not fully recovered, so remember to let me know if he contacts you now that he's in Lonla. I have to arrange for him to get proper bed rest, or he might really lose his limbs."Sean deliberately made the situation sound grave to gauge Melissa's reaction. Sure enough, she subconsciously balled her hand, which rested on the couch's armrest, into a fist. She wasn't even in the mood to have the peeled grapes a maid placed before her.Melissa knew the special team of bodyguards Brian had assigned to Kirby to protect her had died in Menko, after which Kirby had been resting and recuperating. Kirby was still hospitalized when Brian was arrested, so there ha
Kirby hadn't left himself any room for escape after this assassination attempt. That was why he'd turned his phone off and hidden it somewhere. He didn't have anything on him to prove his identity. But he hadn't expected Lonla authorities to find out who he was so quickly.Still unable to reach Kirby, Melissa frowned and looked through the news. Perhaps it was because she constantly checked for news on Monica, but she soon saw a photo of Monica leaving a restaurant hand-in-hand with a man.She was dressed comfortably in flats and sunglasses. She held a coffee in one hand, and her other hand was locked with the man's. He was tall, and he held Monica's bag in his other hand. He'd turned to face her as he said something to her, and they were laughing.Melissa was taken aback. The man holding Monica's hand was handsome but evidently wasn't Sean. She was stunned. She wondered if the man rumored to be Monica's boyfriend wasn't Sean.She continued reading the article. Someone in the comme
"Before Ingrid gets here, let me ask you one more time, Ned Fletcher. With how you're treating Angie right now, aren't you worried that you're going to regret it when you finally regain your memories in the future?"Hearing this, Angeline Emmerson's hand froze at the door handle. She had just been about to enter the room."Angeline is nothing but a fucking bitch who happens to be my ex. It's none of my business if you want to keep protecting that disgusting bitch, but if you still want to be my friend, you had better not bring her up again with me or Ingrid. Gross!"Zachary Stone's voice got louder when he heard Ned calling Angeline all sorts of names. "You were the one who insisted on marrying her before! And if it wasn't for her trying to protect you when you both met with that accident on the way back from the courthouse, she wouldn't have slipped into a coma for two whole years!"At the very least, she's your life savior. She's also your lawfully wedded wife! How could you post
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.
