Second Marriage to Mr. Rich novel Chapter 225

Angeline had watched the laboratory videos countless times. Heather's hands were steady. Each experiment nearly perfectly replicated the previous one. Yet, the experimental data still showed issues.

Angeline suspected the experimental equipment might be the cause.

Today, Angeline had to go out no matter what. There was only a week left until Robert's birthday banquet. She needed to prepare a birthday gift for Robert.

Robert lacked nothing in terms of rare treasures, but it was the thought that mattered.

She knew Robert liked porcelain. A few days ago, she had spoken on the phone with Eddie. During the call, Eddie mentioned releasing some new products soon.

Therefore, she planned to visit Eddie's porcelain studio today. She hoped to see if his new works were available.

She had just changed her clothes when the doorbell rang. Angeline walked over to the monitor. To her surprise, it was Robert and Asher. Instinctively, she turned to check the living room. She worried about leaving behind any of Sean's belongings. After scanning the room and confirming nothing was amiss, she tidied her hair and opened the door.

"Mr. Lawson Senior," Angeline greeted as she stepped aside to invite him in.

However, Robert stood at the doorway, showing no intention of entering. He asked, "I didn't call ahead. I hope I'm not bothering you."

"Not at all," Angeline replied with a smile. "Please come in."

"I'd rather not enter," Asher said with a smile. "I'll wait here."

Angeline nodded. She bent down to fetch a new pair of men's slippers for Robert. Watching him sit on the couch, she asked, "What would you like to drink? I don't have your preferred Earl Grey tea. Would lemonade be okay?"

"Thank you," Robert said. He gestured for Angeline to look at the cufflink on the small table. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Angeline's pupils contracted at the sight of the cufflink. She was sure it hadn't been there during her earlier check. She felt like a teenager getting caught dating by her parents. Her instinct made her straighten her back nervously.

"You're an adult. It's normal to date. There's no need to be so nervous," Robert said to Angeline, showing a warm smile. "At the banquet, I'll announce to everyone that you've become Jessica's adopted daughter and will join Lawson Global..."

As he spoke, he thought of Sean and felt a tightness in his chest.

"Sean plans to leave the Lawson family and Lawson Global. Before you can take over Lawson Global with proven results, I'll take charge myself! Asher has been with me for years. I'm assigning him to help you for a few reasons. You may not have made your mark yet, which could make it hard to lead. Asher's known reputation might keep the veterans in line. Also, running a big corporation like Lawson Global is a complex task. It's quite different from running a specialized firm like Vitality Biotech Group. Asher will be there to guide you."
