Chapter 32
If this matter were to be known, both Sean and Angeline would have to bear the stigma of incest.
How could Sean carry on with his life and establish himself in the business world?
Angeline had always known that he wanted to leave the Lawson family and have them accept her. Hence, he might use last night’s incident to publicly reveal that she was actually the biological daughter of the Lawson family’s sole daughter.
That would be a disaster for her mother, Jessica.
She couldn’t let that happen. Since she was the one who was drugged and had begged Sean to sleep with her,
it was only right for her to clean up the mess.
“Okay.” Sean’s eyes darkened as he calmly turned around to pick up his watch from the bedside table and put
it on.
“Do you feel any discomfort? I’ll have Taylor take you to the hospital for a check–up.” His voice was deep and
calm.
Angeline looked up at Sean, unable to hide her astonishment.
She thought Sean would take this opportunity to analyze the pros and cons for her and take her back to
Lawson Residence.
She had even prepared herself for harsh words, but Sean only cared about her body.
Sensing Angeline’s gaze, Sean, who was leisurely tying his tie, raised his eyes. His gaze was so deep and calm that it was impossible to sense his emotion. “I know what you’re thinking. I’m not that despicable.”
Being seen through by Sean, Angeline felt like she was on pins and needles. “I didn’t doubt your character. It’s just-”
Just then, Sean’s phone vibrated. He glanced at it without answering and put on his suit jacket.
“I’ll take care of the hotel surveillance. This matter won’t be leaked. You don’t have to worry about the Emmersons‘ appearance on the show.
“The identity the Lawson family prepared for your mom back then was flawless. The Emmersons can only find out that she died of massive bleeding in the hospital, but you might be implicated.”
Sean adjusted his cuffs. “Are you really not considering going abroad? There are many colleges abroad for you to choose from.”
With Angeline’s grades, as long as Sean donated money, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to get into any college.
“I know you want to help me, but everyone has their own path.”
Sean didn’t force her any further. He answered one call after another.

After he finished answering the calls, he said to Angeline, “I have to rush back to Krontos for something. Anne is fine now. I suppose there are still some things you need to take care of in Oceanford. Stay in the villa until you leave. It’s safer.”
After Sean left, Angeline relaxed her tensed body. Only then did she notice how sore her body was all over.
She stayed alone in the room for half an hour before going downstairs to check out.
As she reached the hotel entrance, she saw Sean’s assistant, Taylor Powell, standing by the car. Smiling, he
greeted her, “Ms. Angeline.”
Angeline was taken aback. “What are you doing here, Mr. Powell? Didn’t Mr. Lawson say he had to rush back
to Krontos for something?”
“Mr. Lawson was summoned back to Krontos by Mr. Lawson Senior because he didn’t show up at the blind date with the third daughter of the Scott family yesterday.”
Taylor opened the car door and gestured for Angeline to get in. “Mr. Lawson asked me to stay and take you to the hospital for a check–up.”
Angeline clenched her hands at his words. So, Sean was supposed to go on a blind date the day before.
“There’s no need for that. I’m fine.” Angeline just wanted to charge her phone as soon as possible and contact Anne.
“Mr. Lawson asked me to drive you back to rest if you don’t want to go to the hospital. Taylor still wore a smile on his face. “There’s some food in the car. You can have some on the way.”
