Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48

“Sir, I have news from Oceanford. Ms. Angeline’s adoptive mother got into a car accident after seeking Mr. Fletcher out. She didn’t survive,” Taylor said over the phone call.

Sean tensed immediately, his grip tightening around his phone. “Got it.”

After hanging up the phone, Sean grabbed his coat from the chair and put it on. “There’s an urgent matter I

need to deal with.”

“Spend more time with Ms. Monica.” Robert sat back in his chair, leg crossed over the other. He took a book

from the table to his side and continued, “You’re bound to be the family patriarch. Having the Scott family’s

support will help secure your position.”

Robert’s implied meaning was that he was immensely pleased with Monica Scott marrying into the family, so

Sean had to feel the same way whether he liked it or not.

Sean knew it would be a long way to go before Robert would accept Angeline.

Being the only child in her family, Jessica had been doted on by her family since young. She had been

tormented to hell and back after being with the Emmerson family. She had a complete mental breakdown by the time she came back home, was unable to recognize her family, and had even tried taking her own life

several times.

Robert despised every single person from the Emmerson family, including the two children Jessica had given

birth to, Angeline and Benjamin.

If Angeline hadn’t escaped with Jessica from the Emmerson family all those years ago, the Lawson family

wouldn’t have turned a blind eye to Sean helping Angeline afterward.
