Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 54

Two knocks.

Angeline couldn’t hold her tears back anymore. “I’m going to hang up first.”

Two more knocks.

food down.

Khoraging up the call, Angeline forced so

Taylor explained what had happened based on the surveillance footage outside the restaurant

to Angeline at the table. He explained that Ned pushed Anne, but he did try to pull her back when the car swerved onto the sidewalk. His arm was fractured because of it.

Taylor didn’t want Angeline to watch the footage at first, but Angeline insisted.

Anne was going up to Ned with some photographs in hand. The cameras didn’t capture any audio, so Angeline didn’t know what Anne was saying. It looked like she was pleading with Ned to look at the photos, however.

Angeline’s eyes grew reddened. She stopped watching the footage right when Ned reached out to pull Anne from being struck by the car. She then shut the laptop and covered her face with her hands, tears falling uncontrollably.

Sean took the laptop away and set a warm glass of milk down beside Angeline. He said to Taylor, “Have the company’s Oceanford branch’s legal team handle this matter. Anne’s daughter is still a

child. Try and get more compensation.”

“Okay!” Taylor said. “I’ve already bought the flight tickets. The plane will depart at 10:00 am and will reach Glenhill at 12:25 pm. After that, it will take one and a half hours to River Town by car.”

Angeline wiped her tears away with some tissues after Taylor finished speaking. She said nasally, “I’ll go back to River Town alone.”

When Sean turned to her, she said slowly,

Anne has no family besides Henrietta and me. She didn’t gain any friends in the years she was abducted by the Emmersons either. Thank you for your help with the lawsuit. Whatever extra compensation you can get will be a great help to Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Henrietta’s future.”

Angeline knew Sean was a busy man. He had already entrusted the car accident lawsuit to his company’s lawyers, so there was no need to trouble him with a trip to River Town.

“Okay…” Sean sipped on his coffee. “Let Taylor accompany you.”

“Taylor is useless to me if he comes along. I can deal with everything from here on out. I’ll just need a lift to the airport.”

Angeline seemed to have found a way to cooperate with Sean. She would first refuse his kind gesture, then ask him to help with something that wouldn’t delay his personal schedule. That way Sean couldn’t refuse.

“Okay.” Sean nodded, setting his cup to the side.

After some breakfast, the driver sent Angeline to the airport. Maria had packed some sandwiches for Angeline after seeing her eat so little.

After sending Angeline off, Taylor said to Sean, “Mr. Lawson Senior’s assistant called earlier to inform me that Mr. Lawson Senior would like you to attend the concerto tonight with Ms. Monica. The concerto is scheduled to begin at 7:30 pm this evening. Would a flight back to Krontos scheduled at 12:20 pm be fine with you, sir?”

Sean stood in front of the window wall in his study on the second floor, watching Angeline depart in the car outside. “Take a rain check.”

Taylor looked up at Sean in shock.

“Just say that I’m busy with our company’s Oceanford branch affairs.

Taylor pursed his lips briefly before saying, “Mr. Lawson, I may only be your assistant by name, but after working by your side for so many years, I have a genuine respect for you akin to a brother of my own. Hence I’ll be truthful with you… I don’t think you should refuse Mr. Lawson Senior’s suggestion, sir.”
