Since Sean defied Robert, his only relative, to help Angeline, needless to say, Monica felt obliged to help her, too.
Moreover, if Monica was friendly to Angeline, she might even help put in some good words for her with Sean.
Ned could only watch as Angeline and Monica left since Llyod blocked him from approaching them.
Angeline told Monica at the hotel entrance, "Thank you for saving me, Ms. Scott."
"You're Sean's relative. I have to help you out," Monica said.
"If you would like to repay me, how about you help me pass a message to Sean?
"Tell him that our marriage is merely a business transaction. I believe I'll be his best business partner!"
Sean wouldn't even pick up Monica's call. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Angeline to pass her message to him.
For Sean to have a better foothold in Lawson Global right now, he needed the status of being the son-in-law of the Scott family.
Monica was ambitious. She always wanted to surpass her sisters as the true successor of Scott Incorporated. To achieve that, she would need the heir of the Lawson family to be her husband as her trump card.
Since Sean valued his lineage to the point that he was willing to help Angeline by marrying her, he would be more likely to listen to Angeline's words.
Moreover, since he valued his family lineage, Sean would value his children with Monica.
Angeline looked at Monica and asked, "Ms. Scott, are you… not in love with Mr. Lawson?"
Monica plastered on a fake smile.
"To me, marriage is merely an exchange. We each take what we need. I'm sure Mr. Lawson doesn't want me to have any feelings for him, too."
Monica understood the type of man Sean was after their previous meetings.
