Love and Devotion: No Longer His to Claim Chapter 129
Right then, a young man burst in from outside. "How is that possible? Angie was perfectly fine! How could she be dead? I don't believe this!"It was Zack who spoke."My child, we don't want to believe it either, but the facts are right in front of us. The hospital has already reported that your sister is indeed…"As Judy wiped her tears, she lowered her head with reddened eyes, doing her best to conceal her excitement.What great news! That wretched nuisance was finally gone.Once this funeral was over, they could smoothly take over Angela's property. Selling it would easily fetch them tens of millions."Even if she were dead, there should at least be a body, right?"Judy already had her excuse ready. "She's been cremated. We only brought back the ashes."In reality, they never even managed to enter the hospital.However, the staff there had assured them with utmost confidence that Angela was indeed deceased and so badly disfigured that it was not appropriate for the family to

Bill's face looked particularly grim. At a time like this, he could only summon his authority as Angela's father."We already said this was just a misunderstanding. We were worried about you when the news of your accident reached us here."You have no idea how upset we were and how we barely held it together to give you a… Ahem! Now that you're back, there's no need to dwell on this, is there?"Angela's smile remained. "Sorry, but I'm someone with great luck and a long life ahead. By the time you two ascend to heaven, I might still be alive and well. So, there's really no need to worry about me."As soon as she left, the couple smashed everything in the mourning hall in frustration and disappointment."I told you we should have waited until we got the body, but you wouldn't listen. Now look, we've utterly embarrassed ourselves!" Sighing heavily, Bill glared at Judy.Feeling aggrieved, she retorted, "It was that stupid doctor who swore it was true. I was trying to strike while the

"Hello, Angela. Long time no see." Right then, Trevor suddenly spoke.He looked at Angela with a mocking smile as if he had spotted something amusing. "You sure are brave, huh? You jumped from such a tall building without a second thought. Weren't you afraid of falling to your death?""You're not much better yourself." Angela sneered coldly, casting him a look of disgust before walking over to stand in front of Fiona."Angela, why don't you divorce Dexter and be with me? I promise to treat you well, and I won't be like him, a person who enjoys candlelight dinners with other women while your life hangs by a thread." Trevor grinned wickedly, acting like an insolent child."Sorry, but I wouldn't even consider you." Angela scoffed. "Besides, you'll be going to prison today.""How could you be so cruel?" Trevor raised an eyebrow, smiling slyly.That smile not only failed to give a sense of warmth but also felt particularly unsettling."Angela, for my sake, let him off this time. Just

Moreover, everyone knew who Marcus was, so he was extremely concerned about both his personal and the company's reputation, never doing anything that might negatively impact it.This was one of the main reasons why Trevor's existence had remained undiscovered for so many years.If news broke that Marcus' character was questionable, it would deal a devastating blow to the company's image.He wasn't foolish enough to dig his own grave."You'd better not forget that everything you have now was given to you by the Bamford family. Yet you still want to turn against us?" Marcus glared at Fiona coldly, his eyes icy and intimidating."You were the one who did something shameless first," Fiona mocked, any remaining tenderness she had for Marcus completely gone.She added, "Besides, don't you love that wretched woman? Since you've gone against us for her, then I'll grant you your wish." Fiona was utterly ruthless, returning to her usual decisive and commanding demeanor."If you divorce me

"Grandma, you may not know this, but he was the one who abducted me first and demanded ransom money from Dexter. This matter has already—"Before Angela could finish, Natalie slammed her palm on the coffee table with a loud bang. "I already know everything about that! He merely acted out of resentment and anger. If he had lived in the Bamford household all along and hadn't been wronged, would he have done such a thing?"Besides, as his sister-in-law, you should act like an elder sister and be more forgiving. You should also persuade your mother-in-law to accept him instead of fanning the flames and encouraging their divorce!"Angela was speechless.Natalie used to be in poor health and didn't involve herself much in family matters, but she was never known to be this unreasonable.Now that she was fine, had she become muddleheaded?"He almost killed me, and you're asking me to forgive him? Are you serious?" Angela couldn't contain her anger any longer, her tone growing cold."Shu

Marcus immediately flew into a rage and slapped Dexter hard. Dexter didn't even try to dodge it."You ungrateful punk! I should never have given you life!""My mother is the one who gave me life." Dexter wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth before sneering."I'll remove you from the company and erase your name from the family register. You and your illegitimate son need to get out of our home. Don't think I won't take drastic measures—I can always turn against my own blood."With these simple words, everyone present was utterly shocked, including Angela.She had initially thought that, given his personality, he would persuade his parents to continue their superficial unity.After all, he had only been in charge of Bamford Co. for a few years, and a scandal of this magnitude would significantly impact his career.She hadn't expected him to be so resolute."Also, he has to apologize." Dexter broke the silence once more, each word clear and deliberate, leaving the crowd in

The crowd parted, and Angela walked over with a calm expression, followed by Dexter."Go on—how should you be punished?" Natalie leaned back in bed, still exuding an overbearing attitude.Angela was a bit confused. "Me? Why should I be punished?""All of this happened because of you. If you hadn't participated in that ridiculous competition, none of this would've happened, and the family wouldn't be in turmoil!"Natalie sneered coldly, a hint of mockery in her eyes. "You went to compete with your pathetic skills? All you did was be an embarrassment."Angela was stunned.Natalie had been cold in the past but had never been this unreasonable."How does this have anything to do with Angie? You've really become muddleheaded," Joseph said as he entered.He had been feeling unwell for the past couple of days and had been resting, only managing to get out of bed today."This is all because you've been coddling her and letting this spoiled woman have her way. That's how she was able t

Before Angela could get the cutlery for the food, Fiona had already cracked open a bottle of wine and started drinking straight from it."Wait a second. Please stop." Angela hurriedly stopped her. "Eat something first to line your stomach. Drinking like this is harmful."Fiona looked rather pale. She ate a couple of bites perfunctorily before resuming her drinking.By the time her face was flushed and her eyes started to sparkle with drunkenness, she grabbed Angela's arm and poured out her feelings."Tell me—am I that terrible? Even though I'm this capable, why does he still go looking for someone else? I've worked tirelessly for the Bamford family for so many years. Is he blind to it? Angela, if it were you, what would you do?"Fiona had never spoken so much before.Seeing her so broken, Angela couldn't help but feel uneasy."Nothing that happened is your fault."Angela sighed, feeling the weight of the world's sorrows."Come on, drink!" Fiona handed Angela a bottle of fruit wi

Angela's voice was calm, but her words carried such weight that they stunned everyone present.The onlookers around them immediately began whispering and exchanging astonished glances.Could someone actually be standing up for them and fighting for their benefits? Could this person possibly be an angel?"You're talking nonsense. There's no such thing as compensation or overtime pay. I think you're just trying to stir up trouble." Nora shot Angela a cold glare. "Don't get too full of yourself. Don't think this is your territory."Bill quietly observed the exchange between the two women, not intervening. He looked troubled, as if he were deep in thought."Ah." Angela seemed to laugh in frustration. She looked at Nora with disbelief. "I didn't expect someone as lowly as you, a mere department head, to have taken over the duties of the HR and finance departments as well. Ms. Rutherford, you really are something.""Angela, stop slandering me," Nora snapped, her anger evident in her

Angela read attentively, and before she knew it, the morning had passed by in a flash.Her presence hadn't caused any ripples in the design department. Clearly, no one was paying her much attention.Angela didn't mind at all. On the third morning, she began packing up as soon as she arrived at the company, looking ready to resign.Some people whispered behind her back, and others rushed to inform Nora, but none of it slowed her down as she packed.When Nora emerged and saw her eager-to-leave demeanor, she felt a certain satisfaction."Hm, what's going on here? You've only been here for two days and already can't stand it? I thought Ms. Graham was supposed to be capable and impressive. "How come you couldn't even last two quiet days?" Nora's voice wasn't loud but clear enough for everyone nearby to hear.Angela didn't even spare her a glance, calmly replying, "Your company lacks sincerity. If that's the case, there's no point in continuing this collaboration."As she spoke, she

Moreover, Angela was the granddaughter of the one person Bill despised the most!"Angela, what do you think?" Bill asked with a forced smile, turning his gaze toward Angela.She was sipping from a bowl of mushroom soup, and she gave a faint smile at his question. "Dad, you can make your own decisions. Why ask me?"She gave him no regard at all.Bill's heart skipped a beat.This woman must have something else in mind."However, I'm doing quite well now. Mr. Snowden values me highly, and I'd like to continue working with him."While Bill pondered whether he should reject the collaboration, Angela spoke up with a smile, "Besides, I'm already married. My husband's family has plenty for me to take care of, so I'm not thinking of anything else."What's that supposed to mean?Bill was stirred."In the future, I'll be watching closely to see which of you two siblings is truly more capable. In our company, we've always prioritized skill," he said, laughing heartily.Angela smiled as

"He'll definitely come to show how much he values this cooperation," Angela said, touching up her lipstick before stepping out of the car.They arrived at 6:50 pm, just ten minutes before the scheduled time, but the private room was already full, with 11 people seated. Bill was among them, and he'd even brought Zack—clearly showing how much he cared about this cooperation."Angie, you're finally here! We've been waiting for a while. What would you like to eat?" Zack greeted her as soon as he saw her."Zack, quickly show them to their seats," Bill spoke up.Angela greeted the people from Graham Group and then noticed Nora sitting among them. Her lips twitched slightly. Did Bill still not realize what kind of person his newly hired head of the design department was?"Ms. Graham, long time no see. I heard you were kidnapped by some criminals overseas. How are you? I hope you weren't hurt?" Nora stood up with a smile that was anything but warm.Her words were veiled in concern,

Nora was caught off guard. She collapsed to the floor, her head slamming into the ground, and blood began oozing out.Zion was beyond furious. He was enraged not only at her betrayal but also at himself for failing to see her true nature sooner.Angela had told him to bring Nora out, saying they were going to watch a good show. At first, he dismissed it as one of Angela's schemes, but he never imagined it..."Stephen, Stephen, listen to me, I swear, I was just using him. From the beginning, the only person I've ever loved is you!" Nora, no longer concerned with defending herself, hurried after Stephen as he turned to leave."We have nothing to do with each other anymore," Stephen said coldly, his gaze full of disgust as he looked down at her.He left the private room, his heart heavy with disgust, and saw Angela and Dexter standing nearby."Are you satisfied after watching me make a fool of myself?" Stephen shot a cold glance at Angela, preparing to walk away."Mr. Turner, how c

The room was empty except for Zion, who was engrossed in a video game on the large screen."You're here. Take a seat. My friends left earlier. They had something to do," Zion said without looking up, his focus completely on the game.Nora sneered at his carefree behavior. "All you ever do is play games. Don't you think it's time you got a job? You can't rely on others forever, can you?"To Nora, Zion was nothing more than a lapdog who made money for her to spend. Now that he couldn't even do that, he was of no use to her.But he was handsome. He was a true pretty boy and was easy on the eyes."Alright, I get it," Zion said, setting the controller down and turning off the game.He walked over and sat before Nora, wrapping his arms around her.Nora frowned, feeling irritated. "You stink, so don't touch me.""Come on, we haven't been close in days. Let me kiss you," Zion said, taking advantage of the moment. He pulled her into an embrace, his lips moving closer to hers. "I gave

Fiona raised an eyebrow and shot Callum a disdainful look."I've already had someone handle this. It won't be necessary...""No need," Fiona interrupted, walking over to Angela. "My daughter-in-law is involved in a public scandal, and as her mother-in-law, of course, I need to step in. You can leave this to me."With that, she pulled Angela away."Hey, what are you doing? He's my boss!" Angela tried to pull her hand back, turning to give Callum an apologetic smile.But Fiona's grip was unyielding, and no matter how much Angela struggled, she couldn't break free.She was forcibly dragged out and shoved into a car."Where are we going?" Angela was utterly confused."To have some fun." Fiona took a deep breath. "Just treat it as keeping me company. I haven't been out for a stroll in three years, six months, and twelve days."Angela was at a loss for words.Damn, she suddenly felt an unexpected twinge of sympathy for this miserable woman.After spending most of the day out, they

Angela was in an excellent mood today. Even the breeze on her way to the office felt refreshing. However, upon arriving at the company, she noticed something was off. People looked at her with a mix of sympathy and strange expressions."What's going on?" Angela called Clara over.Clara appeared a bit uncomfortable, hesitating for some time before saying, "Ms. Graham, rumors are going around that you were kidnapped in Montivale by some thugs for days, and... And those men... You know..."Angela's mind went blank for a moment, the ringing in her ears growing louder. Who would be vile enough to spread such disgusting rumors? Didn't they have any shame for creating such trouble for her?"Go back to your work," Angela said coldly. "No, come with me to the PR department."The two of them made their way to the PR department head's office. As they reached the door, they could hear voices from inside."How should we handle this? Ms. Graham is one of our company's rising stars. She hel

A bold thought flashed through Bill's mind. It would be perfect If he could secure this contract.It would help dispel the rumors about his rift with Angela and bring enormous benefits to the company."Hello, Mr. Jameson. Good afternoon. Oh, you want me to visit tomorrow for an on-site evaluation, right? Let me think about it."Angela answered the phone, but before she could say anything more, Bill snatched the phone from her and hung up."What are you doing?" Angela snapped. "Give it back! I've been trying to get an appointment with Mr. Jameson for ages. I'm really interested in working with him!"Seeing her flustered expression, Bill was convinced she wasn't faking it. The idea he had grew stronger."Look," he said. "Since you're looking for a partner, why not just choose Graham Group? Why bother with outsiders? What's wrong with you?""No," Angela replied immediately, without hesitation. Mr. Jameson is the best fit. I can't choose you. People would think I'm using my position
