Second Marriage to Mr. Rich
Chapter 13

Chapter 13

After paying Zachary via online transfer for the clothes he bought her, Angeline then deleted his contact. The only people left in her list of contacts were Anne York, Henrietta York, Professor James Dickson, and Sean Lawson.

Sean's profile picture was an underwater photo of the sun. He hadn't posted a single thing on his social media accounts. Anyone would think that his account belonged to an elderly person.

Angeline's thumb hovered over Sean's profile picture.

"How much was the bill for my hospital stay last night? I'll transfer the amount back to you,

Angeline said, turning to look at Sean, who was reading a document. "I also ruined your tie, so I'll compensate you for that too."

The car suddenly swerved to the left. Angeline's phone slipped out of her hands as she fell toward Sean.

Angeline panicked and tried to reach out to grab onto something to steady herself, but failed. She landed right in Sean's arms. She was just about to reach down to retrieve her phone when a hand quickly stopped her.

Coincidentally, her phone had fallen right in Sean's crotch.

Realizing quickly that her phone was at an embarrassingly awkward place, Angeline's ears turned red with embarrassment.

She lifted her head and met with Sean's deep gaze from behind the gold-rimmed glasses. All of a sudden, she felt her heart thumping wildly against her chest.

The driver, Sebastian Lindt, stared at the car ahead of him that was fleeing the scene with both its blinkers on. He was also covered in a layer of cold sweat. He quickly said, "Sorry, Mr. Lawson. That car suddenly overtook us ...

"Don't worry about it," Sean said, his voice coming from above Angeline's head.

Angeline quickly sat up straight and apologized. "Sorry."

Sean then handed her phone back to her and picked up the fallen documents.

"Thank you."

After leaving the no-overtaking zone, the sedan arrived safely at the entrance to a huge

mansion in the city.

Angeline told Sebastian, "You can just drop me off here."

"Where you're staying now is very dangerous," Sean said, closing the document folder in his lap. He spoke in a tone that left no room for discussion. "Sebastian will get your things for you."

She didn't ask him how he knew where she was now staying. When she saw Sean getting down from the car, she also opened the door on her side and hopped out. "I'm leaving Oceanford tomorrow. It's only for a night. It's too much of a bother for him to bring my things here and there."

Sean held his document folder and gestured for Angeline to enter. "It's only for one night. Even if you're itching to sever ties with the Lawsons as quickly as possible, it can wait one more night."

Angeline clenched her fists. Sean had been in charge of Lawson Global for far too long, so he was used to speaking with authority. Even if he hadn't meant for it to be an order, almost anything he said sounded like one. He was so dominant that she didn't know how to refute him. 1

She obediently handed over her keys to Sebastian and said, "Most of my things are already in a suitcase. Please just bring along the book on my table and the items in my drawer." "Alright," Sebastian responded.

Angeline had been to Sean's mansion in Oceanford before. However, she'd never spent the night before.

"You're back, Mr. Lawson," Maria Waters greeted. She was the housekeeper and had been busy cooking in the kitchen when she heard them entering. She also greeted Angeline warmly. "Ms. Angie, you're here too! Perfect timing. I just made some chicken stew."

After telling Maria to prepare the guest bedroom on the second floor for angeline, Sean

entered his study for a meeting. Angeline had lunch alone.

Ned's public apology came a lot quickly than she was promised.

Three hours after they were officially divorced, Ned's handwritten apology was posted all over Oceanford College's notice boards and online forums.

Ned also wrote a public apology on his personal social media accounts.

Oceanford College also issued a letter of clarification to clear Angeline of all wrongdoing.

Ned stated that Angeline wasn't the one who drugged him. Even though they had both consumed the drugged drinks, Angeline managed to stay awake and resist the drug as it ran its course. She hadn't done what the perpetrator wanted her to do.

However, because of his grudge toward Angeline, he had taken revenge on her by spreading her nudes and defaming her online against his better judgement. He also refused to listen to her explanations, causing stress and trauma to Angeline's emotions and daily life. And for that, he was deeply regretful and apologized sincerely to her.
