Chapter 221
The day for delivery arrived. Ned must have been anxious.
"No worries. Go meet with them. Set a high price. If they ask who else you've sold the formula to, tell them you've given it to your boss and will ask for them. They're in a hurry, so you can ask for some fees. That money is all yours. That depends on how much you want!" Angeline spoke with a hint of laughter in her voice.
Billy immediately brightened up at the mention of money. "Alright! I'll do as you say!"
Giving enough incentive when asking for a favor was something Angeline understood well. "I'll send you a list later. After dragging them along for a while, give them the list. Tell them your boss sold the formula to the companies on the list," Angeline added.
"Sure, Ms. Emmerson. You can count on me."
After the call, Angeline sent Billy a long list and took the emergency contraception. Her legs were still weak. Feeling she couldn't go out in her current state, she sat on the living room carpet to watch the lab videos.
Once Angeline got into her work mode, she was completely focused until Sean returned at 6:00 pm. She hadn't changed her sitting position as she was busily jotting down notes.
Sean changed his shoes and took off his suit jacket. He came over and gently touched Angeline's head, making her jump. "When did you get back?"
When Sean heard the word "back," his lips curved up. He sat on the couch and kissed Angeline's forehead. "Didn't you have the lozenges?"
Angeline cleared her throat. "I forgot."
"Did you forget lunch too?" Sean asked further.
"I forgot that, too."
Sean glanced at the video showing the logo of Vitality Biotech Group. He didn't ask more but just took off his cufflinks and watched. "Watch a bit more, and then we'll have dinner." "Are we going out to eat?"
Sean smiled as he stood up. "We'll eat at home."
Angeline couldn't help but smile as she watched Sean wash his hands and put on an apron in the kitchen.
She turned back to the video to continue observing Heather's operational process.
When the aroma of food filled the air, Angeline stood up and leaned against the coffee table. Her legs
were numb from sitting too long et
She walked to the dining table and was ready to serve the spaghetti, only to see Sean coming out with two bowls.
"Go wash your hands. Let's eat!"
After dinner, Angeline took the initiative to clean up. Coming out of the kitchen, she saw Sean making a call on the balcony. She sat down on the carpet to video call Xavier and Yasmine. "Mommy, Mr. Lawson Senior seemed very angry today!" Yasmine whispered to Angeline.
"What happened?" Angeline was surprised.
This was the first time she heard the kids mention Robert being angry.
"It seemed like Mr. Lawson Senior was on a call with someone. We don't know what was said, but he got so angry that he smashed a cup and a chessboard." Xavier recalled seriously. "It seemed like he was saying he wouldn't allow someone to leave the Lawson family." Content
"That's right. Beautiful Ms. Lawson was so scared! I've never seen Mr. Lawson Senior so angry!" Yasmine's voice remained low.
Angeline's heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at Sean on the balcony. She wondered if Sean had told Robert about his plans to leave the Lawson family, which was the reason why Robert was so angry. "How is Beautiful Ms. Lawson now?" Angeline asked.
"Beautiful Ms. Lawson didn't want us
to be scared, so she took us out for ice cream!" Xavier said clearly, "Ms Hull said that in all her years at the Lawson residence, aside from the incident with Beautiful Ms. Lawson, this was the first time she saw Mr. Lawson so furious."
