It was also precisely because Robert cared about Xavier and Yasmine so much that Helen couldn't allow them to remain by his side. She didn't want them to have him wrapped around their fingers.
"I only have one request—ensure the children can never return to the Lawson family. Can you do that?" Helen asked.
"Yes. I'll set the time. I'm too caught up with other things now to deal with that," Ned said.
"I suppose you need to appease Ms. Dalton."
Helen chuckled.
"I'll wait for you to call, but please be quick. Don't make me run out of patience—I might change my mind anytime."
After hanging up, Ned held his phone tightly. He had to let Angeline know about this as soon as possible.
…
Angeline didn't expect Simon to come pick her up at Lawson Global that evening. He wasn't surprised to see Lenny behind her. He opened the back seat door for her like a perfect gentleman.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Danny was already waiting for them. Danny was talkative. He gave Simon a blow-by-blow recap of how Helen had pretended to be chummy with him and Vitality Biotech's founder to Angeline's face.
Simon didn't find it hard to believe.
"It's not surprising for someone in a corporate environment to leverage a lack of information to reap more benefits for themselves. It's just too bad that Ms. Lawson did it right to Angeline's face."
Danny nodded in agreement.
"And that's why luck is also an important factor!"
Simon nodded at that. He pretended to bring Ingrid up with Angeline casually.
"I heard the entertainment companies under Lawson Global don't intend to continue working with Norwalk Corporation's ambassador."
"Yeah."
Angeline nodded.
"Would it be convenient for me to ask why?"
