Angela Graham's husband abandons her twice on her birthday for the sake of his true love. She's devastated and dejected when she learns a secret—it turns out that every celebration and anniversary that she and her husband have had over the past five years was planned by his true love. Angela's heart and love have been stomped on far too many times. It's been five years, and she's tired. She doesn't want to stick it out anymore. But her ex-husband comes running when she leaves him and allows another man to stand by her side. "You can't fall in love with anyone else without my permission, Angela!" Angela laughs. "You think too highly of yourself, ex-husband."

This way, you'll have a reason to engage with her, which is far better than this current state of mutual avoidance, wouldn't you say?"Blinking her bright eyes, Jennifer added with a smile, "Mr. Bamford, you might be invincible in the business world, but when it comes to love, I might just have the upper hand. And as a woman, I understand women best."Dexter narrowed his dark eyes as he studied the confident, straightforward woman in front of him. "And you're doing all this just to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry?"Why were there so many women in this world willing to do anything for their careers?For a fleeting moment, Dexter saw a shadow of Angela in Jennifer, which irritated him even more.Without hesitation, Jennifer replied, "Of course. But when I first approached you, I did have a bit of wishful thinking, wondering if I c
Jennifer was momentarily stunned, feeling a bit at a loss.What did Dexter mean by that?What was she trying to do? Wasn't she just playing the role of a devoted woman, trying to sabotage Dexter and Angela's love to boost her own popularity and gain more resources?But why was she even thinking about her objectives all of a sudden?"Mr. Bamford, what do you mean by that?" Jennifer asked in astonishment, genuinely confused.Dexter was visibly impatient. "Drop the act. I'll give you three seconds to decide whether you want to tell the truth or not."Jennifer felt a chill run down her spine.She had been found out? How was that possible? Was it that obvious? She was the top of her acting class—who could out-do her when it came to acting?"Three, two—""I'll talk! I'll talk!" Jennifer couldn't hold it together anymore. Dexter's sharp eyes and commanding presence were simply too much."I… I just wanted to make my path in the entertainment industry smoother."There was no need for
Shauna was silent for a moment. "But if people find out that you and Dexter aren't actually in a relationship…"Jennifer sighed, her tone exasperated. "Shauna, it's so obvious that you've never dated anyone before. You have no idea how crazy people get when they're in love."Even someone as powerful as Mr. Bamford can lose his mind over unfulfilled desires, acting foolishly and resorting to self-harm like some lovesick teenager. Now tell me, what does that tell you?"Shauna hesitated, fumbling for an answer. "Doesn't that just mean… his ego was hurt and he can't handle being dumped, so he's just upset and restless?""Wrong." Jennifer raised an eyebrow. "It means he still loves Angela. That's why he tried to get that heartless woman's attention. But after testing the waters, I discovered something shocking—Dexter isn't actually that important to Angela.""What?" Shauna gasped. "There's actually a woman in this world who doesn't care about the great Mr. Bamford? That's Dexter Bamfor
After a short pause, Angela continued, "But you insulted my mother. She is everything to me. Someone like you isn't even worthy of mentioning her name."Angela gazed coldly at the woman on the ground, her expression turning even more icy. Jennifer, however, seemed utterly baffled, as if she hadn't even understood what Angela had said."Leave now. If there's a next time, I won't go easy on you." Angela found this whole encounter utterly dull and waved her hand, dismissing the clueless Jennifer.Jennifer's face flushed red and pale in turns, like she had just swallowed something disgusting. In the end, she tucked her tail between her legs and left in humiliation."Wow, Angie, you were amazing just now! That was a total one-sided beatdown. You think so highly of her, but to me, she's nothing." Zack looked at Angela with sparkling admiration, almost starstruck by her.Angela, however, calmly remarked, "She's Ursula Abbott's niece. I can't underestimate her. Who knows if she's hiding a
"I don't care." Clenching her teeth, Jennifer spoke slowly. "Angela, don't think that I don't know what you're up to. You're just playing hard to get. From now on—""Get lost," Zack interrupted impatiently. He got up and waved them away. "Seriously, what is this? You actually have the nerve to spout nonsense in front of my sister? Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror and realize how ridiculous you are? Unbelievable."As he spoke, he ushered Jennifer out. She had never been treated so rudely before, and in a fit of rage, she suddenly slapped Zack across the face.Zack was stunned."What the fuck? Did you just hit me? What right do you have to hit me?" His teeth clenched as fury burned inside him. Alas, he was a man—he couldn't hit a woman.Jennifer shook her aching hand before smirking provocatively. "Like brother, like sister. Your sister is no good, and neither are you. You two are nothing but a pair of motherless—"Before she could finish her sentence, Angel
After downing two glasses of liquor, Angela turned her head, only to be startled by a face that was eerily familiar. Her hand trembled, nearly dropping the glass."Good evening, miss." One of the escorts greeted her with a youthful smile.Angela thought she was seeing things—this person, this face, looked exactly like an 18-year-old Dexter!She quickly stood up, regretting coming to this place. Zack must have lost his mind to come up with such a ridiculous stunt to tease her."Angie, what are you doing? Sit down for now." Seeing that things were going south, Zack grabbed Angela's arm. "If we leave now, these guys will get fined," he added, showing his supposed kindness."Tell them to leave." Angela frowned.Zack laughed it off, pulled Angela back to her seat, and waved his hand. The men immediately got the message, each grabbing a microphone and starting to sing."I'm a proper CEO of a company now. Drinking in a place like this is one thing, but I can't be doing this kind of stu
Angela's decisiveness in handling matters was commendable, but that didn't change the fact that she was merely a so-called CEO parachuted in through connections.Since Genevieve had faith in her, Erwin was willing to show some courtesy for Genevieve's sake and give Angela a chance to prove herself.If Angela truly was capable, he was willing to let things be. However, if she weren't up to par, he would have every reason to make her step down.He was simply nipping a potential problem in the bud."Mr. Mack, that wouldn't be right." Austin suddenly stood up, staring disapprovingly at Erwin.Erwin chuckled. "Why not? Didn't Ms. Graham make those statements herself?"At that moment, Angela had already guessed his intentions. She slowly got up, signaling Austin to stay calm.Then, she confidently declared, "I can promise that I will establish a new set of effective company regulations, increase quarterly revenue by at least half of the previous quarter, and as for employee salaries a
"Forget it." Dexter took a deep breath. "Do as you please."…On the third morning, Angela went to the company with Austin."I've already announced the matter in the company's group chat. We'll go straight to the meeting, and the handover ceremony will be livestreamed." Austin spoke in a calm voice, as if he were discussing something trivial.Angela, however, was taken aback. "I'm going straight to the meeting? There'll be a handover ceremony?"Why was it so abrupt?She knew that since Genevieve had just passed away, they couldn't hold a grand ceremony, but this was too sudden. She hadn't been informed in advance, meaning she'd had no chance to prepare mentally!"What, are you scared?" Austin raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement flickering in his eyes.Scared? Not exactly. It was just unexpected."Don't worry." He opened the car door and stepped out. "I'll be with you the whole time. You don't need to pay attention to anyone else."Angela wasn't particularly afraid. She had
There was something about Jennifer's gaze that was so clear and sincere that it made it impossible to look away.Dexter smirked absentmindedly. "You seem to know quite a lot. So what? What does it have to do with you?""You deserve better, Mr. Bamford." There was a hint of nervousness in her voice as Jennifer tentatively suggested, "I took clinical medicine as part of my studies abroad and have a deep understanding of patient care. If you don't mind, Mr. Bamford, I could—""Does this hospital have no staff?" Dexter interrupted impatiently, his tone direct. "What exactly do you want? You have three seconds to answer.""Mr. Bamford, to be honest, I fell for you at first sight a year ago, at Mr. Bamford Senior's birthday banquet. I thought time would help me forget these feelings since you were a married man back then."But even after a year, my feelings haven't faded. On the contrary, they've only grown stronger. Mr. Bamford, can't you give me a chance?"Jennifer was left with no c
It was actually very obvious whether a man loved a woman or not. Angela Graham knew it very well. For example, Dexter Bamford could spend a fortune buying out all the billboards in the central business district to celebrate the birthday of his first love, Elena Carrey. He did so that the whole city would be able to tell his sincerity toward her.But for Angela's birthday, all she got was just a small, six-inch cake. In fact, it was the very same cake the nanny had gotten on her birthday.Angela chuckled when she saw the cake. It made sense, after all. Although she was Dexter's legally wedded wife, the actual Mrs. Bamford, her job scope wasn't much different from the nanny's anyway.The only extra task she had was sleeping with Dexter.Angela felt tears well in her eyes when she thought about this. The loneliness in her eyes stood out like a sore thumb amid the noisy surroundings of the party.Dexter had been late to the party as always. Actually, he had planned on staying at the...
