Chapter 290

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.

That way, Angeline would no longer be a country bumpkin from Emmerson Village.

The Lawson family in Krontos was different from the Fletcher family. The Lawsons had been wealthy since their ancestral generation, f they were to exclude Lawson Global, which hadn’t been listed yet, even a portion of the assets the Lawsons. had accumulated for generations that would be given to Angeline was worth a lot more than Fletcher Corporation.

Sherryn turned to look at Sean, who was sitting at the head of the table and smiling as he clapped.

Sean was such a capable man. Not

only had he become the Lawsons

adopted, son, but he had also

brought his relative into the Lawson

the Levison

family to take the other half of the

Lawsons’ fortune.

When Sherryn grabbed Ned’s arm, he instantly knew what she meant. Irritated, he

pulled his hand away and downed a glass of wine.

He sincerely wanted Angeline to do well.

Angeline was outstanding, and the Lawson family was fortunate to have a family member like her.

Besides, Angeline was a faithful person and had been longing for a family. She would certainly take good care of Jessica.

Angeline took the mic and spoke, her voice clear and firm. The people felt relaxed listening to her as if a spring breeze had swept through the room. Her voice was very melodious. “Good evening to everyone here. Thank you

you for making time despite

your busy schedules to attend

Grandpa’s birthday banquet…”

Standing next to Robert was Angeline, who wore a mermaid gown. Her long hair cascaded down her waist, revealing her slender neck and arms. The scars of the past were no longer visible.

Angeline’s smile was bright. She was glowing and looked just like how she did when she gave a speech after receiving an award that time.

She shone so brightly that it would make one’s heart flutter when they saw her.
