Chapter 333

Brayden’s smile was unwavering as he stirred in his seat.

“Also… What will you do if Mr. Lawson Senior discovers his adopted son and granddaughter are dating? He’d be fuming. This is incest!

“The Lawson family is bound to be criticized for this. As one of the oldest prominent families in Krontos, this is a blow to the Lawsons. I’m certain the old-fashioned Mr. Lawson Senior won’t take it well. The same goes for Ms. Jessica.”

Brayden did a thorough investigation on Angeline. He deduced her relationship with the Lawsons from his findings, how Sean treated her, and how he’d been trying to get her to join the family. He had to hit her in her sore spot right away if he had to persuade her.

She cared for Robert and Jessica, who was legally her foster mother.

“Plus…”

Brayden’s voice trailed off as he uncrossed his legs, propping his elbows on his knees.

As he busily skimmed through the photos on his phone, he remarked, “You seem to be on friendly terms with your ex-husband, that Fletcher dude.”

Angeline stared at his phone as he showed her the photos on his screen. There was one where she and Ned were facing each other in front of the police station, and there was another photo capturing him gazing at her from a distance when she left in the car after the birthday banquet. The third photo was taken today when they were talking in the cafe.

Lenny’s expression changed drastically. He shot up.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Angeline. This is my fault. I didn’t realize someone was stalking us.”

“Of course you didn’t. I was the one following y’all!”

Brayden flashed a triumphant smile.

“Ned wasn’t willing to give up on you even when he lost his memory. Now that he has regained his memory, I’m sure you’ll reignite that old spark with a breeze.” Angeline seemed unfazed.

She stared at Brayden and replied, “I’m not going to break up with Sean.”

Ned expected this. He even seemed delighted as he leaned back against the couch.

“I knew it. That loser Ned is nothing compared to Shane. He’s unattractive and incompetent. If I were you, I wouldn’t leave Shane either.”

Angeline was speechless. She didn’t expect his infatuation with Sean. As she looked at his jovial demeanor, she wondered why he was here in the first place. She didn’t know if he was here to brag about Sean or if he was here to convince her to break up with him.

“Thanks for understanding,” she said with a smile.

“But…”

Brayden shifted his stance, turning serious as he continued, “I won’t allow Shane to be vulnerable.”

The door clicked open as he spoke. Sean strode in while holding his jacket, and Lenny hurriedly greeted him.

“Mr. Lawson!”

Brayden rose with a smile.

“You’re back!”

Brayden slipped his hands into his pockets.

afford to become vulnerable.

Angeline was at a loss for words.

She was appalled by Brayden’s audacity to be that blunt he wasn’t even trying to conceal his intentions.

Sean opened the door instantly.

He appeared grim as he said, “Get out.”

“Sure!” Brayden agreed without skipping a beat.

He even seemed elated as he spun around to wave at Angeline.

“Bye, Angeline.”

Lenny also went toward the door, apologizing, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lawson. I should’ve stopped Mr. Green.”
