Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 134

Upon learning of Angeline's achievements in various competitions, Robert was reminded of his once-brilliant daughter. He felt proud that Angeline was indeed his granddaughter.

Yet, this pride was tainted by a more profound loathing for the Emmerson family, which had destroyed his daughter's life. That led to a renewed distaste for Angeline.

However, this time, Robert seemed to let go of his disdain for her after seeing Angeline's appeal on a TV program for harsher penalties for kidnappers and traffickers. He sensed that Angeline was giving her all to save the mother she once couldn't.

He knew that if given the choice, Angeline would trade her life for a chance to turn back time and prevent his daughter's kidnapping. Thus, Robert found it in himself to forgive Angeline.

The talk of a kidney donation in the hospital room was merely a test for Angeline. If his daughter truly needed a kidney with minimal risk of rejection, Robert could easily have arranged for a suitable donor. His visit today was to acknowledge Angeline as his granddaughter finally.

He conveyed to Angeline that as a member of the Lawson family… he would avenge those who had wronged Angeline. Five years from now, exacting revenge through her strength would be Robert's final test for accepting Angeline into the Lawson family. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Sean quickly showered and changed at the hotel before rushing back to the hospital. To his surprise, he didn't find Angeline upon entering the hospital room. Instead, he was greeted by Robert's assistant, Asher.

Asher smiled as he bowed to Sean.

"Mr. Lawson, Ms. Angeline has been transferred to another hospital. Mr. Lawson Senior asked me to wait here specifically for you."

Sean's gaze hardened as he noticed the change in how Asher addressed Angeline, shifting from "Ms. Emmerson" to "Ms. Angeline".

"Is my father planning to take Angeline back home?" Sean inquired.

With a light smile and a nod, Asher replied, "Not exactly. He has one final test for Ms. Angeline. If she meets his expectations, he will officially welcome her back into the Lawson family."

Sean watched Asher intently.

"And?"

"So, please focus all your attention on the corporation, Mr. Lawson. Do not interfere with Ms. Angeline's matters or her life going forward," Asher spoke softly to Sean as he stepped forward.

"Mr. Lawson, I know you've been persuading your father to accept Ms. Angeline back into the Lawson family. This time, he is willing to give her a chance after watching her appeal on TV!"

"My father has seen Angeline, hasn't he? Where is he now?" Sean asked.

Seeing as Sean had already guessed it, Asher didn't hide the truth, "He is already on his way to the airport."

Sean wordlessly turned and left to catch up with Robert at the airport.

Robert stepped out of his car while leaning on his cane, only to find Sean blocking his path. Sean was breathing heavily.

"Since you're here, let's return to the country together," Robert said.

"And Angeline?" Sean asked.

"If you wish for her to return to the Lawson family with dignity, ask no more," Robert said with furrowed brows.

"Even if it's out of guilt, the care you've provided her over the years is more than enough. If she's as outstanding as you claim and embodies the Lawson family's spirit, she should return on her own merits.

"Your current task is to guide the corporation through the next three to five years. Otherwise... Even if she returns to the Lawson family as you wish, there might be no family left to return to."
