Following closely behind Sean, Asher stepped forward and announced, "Mr. Lawson Senior, the plane is ready to take off."
Robert gave Sean a deep look.
"There's also the matter of you marrying her in Ravoria for the sake of the twins she's carrying. Wrap that up cleanly and quickly.
"From the public's perception, she is a relative with blood ties to you. What was the meaning behind your marriage? I don't want this to become a scandal for the Lawson family. Both of you... Don't disappoint me."
After watching Robert enter the airport, Asher spoke softly, "Mr. Lawson Senior hasn't been completely indifferent to Ms. Angeline over the years. After all, she's part of the family.
"In his heart, Ms. Angeline and Benjamin are different. Since Mr. Lawson Senior intends for Ms. Angeline to return to the Lawson family, he will surely look after her well. You needn't worry too much."
"Where is Angeline now? Can't you tell me?" Sean asked.
"That's right. Mr. Lawson Senior knows you've always looked out for Ms. Angeline. So, he's specifically instructed not to inform you this time nor to allow you to meddle in any affairs concerning her, starting from this moment!"
Asher emphasized the word "any" and continued, "Mr. Lawson Senior has conveyed the same to Ms. Angeline. Five years... If Ms. Angeline can impress him without help, she will be welcomed into the Lawson family. For Ms. Angeline's sake, it's best you don't ask."
Sean clenched his fists tightly.
"She just had a miscarriage. Her body hasn't recovered yet."
"Rest assured, I've already arranged for someone to care for Ms. Angeline!" Asher said with a reassuring smile.
"Mr. Lawson, I have great faith in Ms. Angeline. If you truly want to help her, perhaps... you could ensure Lawson Global is secure for her."
Angeline's capabilities were never in question.
But Sean doubted Angeline would endeavor to return to the Lawson fold out of sheer will. Given her history, he knew about her protective nature toward her mother and felt she'd likely prefer to stay as far away from the Lawsons as possible. He didn't think she'd ever consider coming back.
"I need to speak with Angeline," Sean insisted firmly.
