Second Marriage to Mr. Rich
Chapter 139

"Her figure clearly shows years of fitness!" fans of Ingrid, who came to pick her up, remarked. They couldn't resist pulling out their phones to snap photos of Angeline and her daughter.

Ned's feet seemed glued to the spot. He watched until the black figure almost vanished from sight. Then he snapped back to reality. He pushed through the crowd before him and hurried after her. Once out of the elevator, Angeline's phone wouldn't stop ringing.

Angeline and Yasmine Emmerson entered a coffee shop. They ordered hot milk and cake. Then she removed her mask.

"Yasmine, sit here for a bit. Mommy needs to take a call," she said.

"Okay!"

Yasmine grasped the milk cup with both hands. She took a few sips, leaving a milk mustache on her lips.

Angeline pulled out a tissue. She wiped Yasmine's mouth while listening to the anxious ramblings on the phone.

"Vitality Biotech Group's founder must attend the hearing in Marvonia. Otherwise, they'll take action against all our projects. They said it would affect our relations with the Marvonia government. Are you still refusing?" the voice on the phone said.

Angeline scoffed.

"They don't have a new trick up their sleeves after all these years! Sending you was already a big concession.

"We've cooperated with many hospitals and universities in Marvonia over these last few years. They clearly want our technology, yet they insist on a hearing to seem fair... Ha!"

"I've heard rumors recently. They've discovered your identity. Be careful," the voice warned.

"If they had found out, they wouldn't be talking to you but directly to me. Lying is the oldest trick in the book!"

Angeline lifted her coffee cup.

"Tell them, if they continue this nonsense at the hearing on the 29th and try to suppress Vitality Biotech like they did other tech companies, we'll cease all projects with Marvonian hospitals and universities and withdraw from the Marvonian market!"

"There's another interesting thing..." the voice chuckled.

"Fletcher Corporation from Oceanford wants to work with us. What do you think?"

Angeline raised an eyebrow.

"Hold off on responding. Any word from Lawson Global?"

"No response from Lawson Global yet. I'll have someone contact them again."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

After hanging up, Angeline looked at Yasmine, who was almost done with her cake. She pinched the little one's cheek.

"Wait here for a moment. Mommy will go to the restroom, and then we'll leave."

Yasmine nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, Mommy! I'll be fine!"

Angeline played a cartoon on the tablet for Yasmine. She tipped the staff to watch her daughter briefly before heading to the restroom.

Yasmine's chubby hands clutched the milk cup. She sat in the chair and swung her short legs while watching the cartoon.

When she looked up, she saw Sean walking past the coffee shop. He was on the phone, surrounded by people.

She immediately hopped off the chair and ran after Sean.

"Daddy!" she called out.

Sean, who was on the phone, suddenly felt a small human cling to his leg. He looked down.

"Daddy!"

Yasmine looked up at Sean. Her voice was clear and sweet.

Yasmine wore two braids in her hair. She hung on Sean's leg like an ornament. She had eyes very similar to both Angeline's and Sean's.

Her dark, grape-like eyes looked up at him. Her skin was white and soft. She tiptoed and raised her chubby hands high while asking for a hug.
