Second Marriage to Mr. Rich
Chapter 114

Angeline would have only gone back to River Town for Henrietta's case. Sean knew that.

"It's been resolved." Angeline forced herself to sound cheerful. "I've already spoken to the parents of those kids, and I told them that I won't write a letter of understanding." "What time is your flight? I'll send someone to pick you up." Sean's voice left no room for discussion.

"Sir, it's a call from Mr. Lawson Senior..."

Taylor's voice sounded from the other end of the phone. Angeline didn't refuse Sean's kind gesture, and she answered, "I'll land at around 11:30 pm. Thank you."

"Send me a message when you arrive," Sean instructed.

"Okay."

After returning from River Town, Angeline didn't sleep for the entire night. The next morning, she didn't say anything and just shut herself in her dorm room to memorize her materials.

A week before Angeline and James were about to set off for Dmont, the case's verdict was issued.

Due to the severity of the case, Michael, the principal offender, was sentenced to ten years. The others were sentenced to three years, all except for the 14-year-old minor. He was absolved of criminal responsibility and was ordered to undergo correctional education.

Only the main culprit Tommy, got off scot-free.

After the verdict was announced, Angeline went off by herself to bury Henrietta's ashes next to Anne's. She didn't ask for any company.

Her phone vibrated.

It was Tommy, who had just gone abroad the day before. He was messaging her from a foreign number.

"I was right, Angeline! I told you that you wouldn't be able to do anything to me with Ned protecting me, didn't I? You're just an insignificant peasant from the mountains. So what if they call you a genius? Without Ned's protection, you're just mud trampled on the ground! One day, you'll be just like Henrietta in those videos. You'll kneel in front of me like a bitch and beg me to screw you!"

The phone vibrated again.

"By the way, while I'm abroad, you'd better stay away from Ned. If I find out that you make Ned and Ingrid unhappy, the uncensored video of Henrietta will be spread far and wide! I'm overseas, so the police can't get me!"

Angeline looked at the messages. She didn't fly into a rage like Tommy had imagined.

She locked the phone screen quietly and calmly before she squatted down in front of Henrietta's gravestone.

The photo on the gravestone was the photo on Henrietta's student ID. She was wearing her school uniform and had her hair in a ponytail. She had bangs, and she looked pretty and sweet.

Angeline held onto the gravestone. Although her tears kept falling, she spoke very calmly. "Henrietta, those who hurt you will pay the price. There will be no exception. Trust me." On March 13th, James left for Dmont with Angeline and Gregory from Cloudsville airport. Taylor came personally to Cloudsville to send Angeline off. He brought her an assistant.

22-year-old Tanisha Nolan was very bubbly, and she had grown up in Dmont before going to college in Grand Ckrodtria. Therefore, she was very familiar with both places.

She would accompany Angeline throughout the trip until Angeline settled down in Grand Ckrodtria.

"Mr. Lawson is being watched by those in Marvonia, and he won't be able to leave the country for a while. It's been very busy at the company recently, and he really can't make time to come and see you off!" Taylor explained on behalf of Sean.

Taylor didn't tell Angeline that Sean had only been sleeping for about three to four hours each day for a week.

Ever since Sean had come back from Marvonia with the higher-ups from Lawson Global and announced that he would independently develop a microchip and lithography machine, the overseas projects of Lawson Global had faced oppression from all sides.
