Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 290

290 /292

Ever since he had regained his memories, Ned would find himself sinking into them from time to time.

He frowned and looked away quickly.

Robert's voice was loud and clear. "The main purpose of the birthday banquet today isn't really to celebrate an old man's birthday, but to introduce my granddaughter, Angeline Lawson, to everyone. I won't bore you by speaking about how amazing she is. However, for the past few years, Angeline has been establishing her company abroad. Now, it's time for her to come back and take over the family business with Sean."

Angeline Lawson.

Robert had officially adopted her, and now her surname was Lawson, not Emmerson.

The directors and other elders of the family, who were close to Robert, grinned as they clapped.

It was obvious that Robert was delighted. "I'm very happy that Jessica has a kind and intelligent adopted daughter like Angeline. Even after I pass away, I don't have to worry that there'll be no one taking care of Jessica. Of course, my granddaughter, Angeline, is outstanding! I'm so glad that I can introduce my granddaughter to everyone today. And I hope that in the future, all my old friends and the elders can take care of her. Come, Angeline!"

Angeline got up and walked toward the stage.

When Sherryn saw Angeline hold her gown and get up from the main table with a smile, her expression grew extremely grim.

Sherryn wondered how Angeline had become Robert's granddaughter, as that would probably mean Angeline had the right to inherit the Lawson family's assets.

Sherryn grabbed Ned's hand, and her heart throbbed.

Robert's daughter, Jessica, was his biological child. Even many years later, his adopted son, Sean, would get half of his fortune, and the other half would belong to his daughter. Robert might even be biased toward his sick daughter. Jessica had no children, so it meant that when she passed away, all her assets would belong to Angeline.
