The night breeze drifted lazily through the air, carrying the delicate, heady scent of blooming flowers. Trevor chose not to turn on the lights, letting the soft glow from the window bathe the room in a muted luminescence. Pulling out his phone, he began to watch the surveillance footage. The video showed the brief moments of his clash with Angela before Dexter's men subdued him and took her. He had kept this recording for days, the thought of erasing it never crossing his mind. Trevor had known of Dexter's existence since childhood. Dexter had always been exceptional, a benchmark his mother never failed to remind him of—stay driven and work hard to keep up with Dexter. Driven by this, Trevor had spent years observing Dexter in secret. He studied his every move, mimicked his actions, and analyzed his successes—all in the hope of one day surpassing him. Dexter was undeniably remarkable, a fact Trevor begrudgingly accepted.Recently, Trevor's observations had uncovered something

"Forget it. Let's eat. Our whole family is finally together, so let's embrace the joy of this moment," Natalie said with a forced smile as she sat down."Mom, why didn't you tell me sooner about having such an outstanding grandson? Cecilia and Lionel could've recognized him as a family earlier." Ursula smiled after noticing Natalie's expressions.Natalie beamed at Ursula's comment and remarked, "Trevor is indeed exceptional. Cecilia, he's your elder brother."Cecilia greeted him warmly, her politeness impeccable. Trevor, ever humble, engaged her with light jokes, creating an atmosphere of genuine harmony during their first interaction as siblings.But Ursula, ever the instigator, turned her attention to Angela. "Angela, why so quiet? Are you still upset? The past is behind us. We're family—shouldn't you be a little more understanding?"Angela met her gaze, calm but firm. "You didn't live through it, so you can't possibly understand the pain. If Trevor had pushed you to the brink o

"Angela, I'm truly sorry," Trevor said, bowing deeply. Then, without a word of warning, he spread his arms wide, leaned back, and let himself fall from the rooftop.The crowd was stunned into silence, and Natalie, overcome by the shock, fainted on the spot.Angela stood frozen, equally in disbelief. While others might have known about the safety air cushion below, few would have remained so calm. Trevor's actions were completely irrational, like a madman's reckless stunt.…In the ward, Trevor's vital signs had stabilized, and he slowly opened his eyes."Trevor, are you alright? How do you feel?" Natalie asked, her voice trembling as she wiped her tears and gently caressed his face. He didn't respond, his gaze shifting to the others around him.Angela took her place at the back of the room, knowing it was only a matter of time before he would call out to her. As expected, he did. "Angela."Trevor's voice was hoarse, his body weak, but a spark of hope was in his eyes."Have I

That day, the entire Bamford family gathered, and Mateo was invited to join via video call to witness the occasion in the Bamford Manor's memorial hall.Angela had never met Mateo before, but after seeing him on the video call, she couldn't help but find him handsome. Whispering to Dexter, she remarked, "Mateo is gentle and elegant—he has the air of a doctor."Dexter snorted. "You're spot on. He is a doctor, and a skilled surgeon at that. But don't get any ideas. He's cold and impossible to win over."Angela blinked, baffled by the unnecessary warning."Let's begin now that everyone's here. Angela, as Dexter's wife, you should be the first to pay your respects," Natalie ordered coldly. Irritated, Angela glanced at Joseph for support, but he merely sighed and gestured for her to comply. She felt trapped.Joseph had always been soft on Natalie, rarely challenging her demands. Now, he seemed powerless to intervene.Taking the flower offered by the butler, Angela felt the strong fr

Trevor seemed like a completely different person. Angela couldn't shake the feeling that his impeccable behavior was part of a larger conspiracy.Natalie wiped her tears and said, "Trevor, my poor grandson. You've found your family, but you can't truly be part of it. It breaks my heart to see you suffer outside."The atmosphere in the memorial hall was notably tense, with everyone casting varied glances at the two.After leaving the memorial hall, Angela eagerly asked Dexter how he had managed to make the photo frame fall and break without anyone noticing."Take a guess," Dexter replied, his smile smug and mysterious. Angela gave him a flat look. "Aren't you afraid that Great-Grandpa will haunt you for this?"Dexter chuckled and stopped walking. "Haunt me? Please. I'm so impressive that he'd probably be too busy admiring me to hold a grudge." Angela rolled her eyes, irritated by his boundless narcissism.Dexter finally explained, "I had someone break the fake photo frame befo

Angela assumed it was Finn at the door—he had mentioned wanting to come over for a barbecue. Instead, the household staff returned with someone she least wanted to see. "Why are you here? You're not welcome. Get out!" Angela's fury ignited the moment she saw him approach. Her expression turned icy, and if not for the presence of others, she might have resorted to more than just words. "Angela, relax. I'm only here to deliver gifts from Grandpa and Grandma," Trevor said, his arms laden with bags of luxury fruits and supplements."I don't want them. Leave now. Don't make me repeat myself!" Angela snapped, rising to her feet as though prepared to throw him out herself. "Angela, I've apologized already," Trevor said, feigning remorse. "I just got discharged today, and I'm still not feeling well. Do you really want to push me away like this?"Angela felt her temper flare. She couldn't believe how much he had changed—or perhaps how much more shameless he'd become."I'm sorry for wha

Dexter cast a cold, condescending glance at Trevor, his gaze radiating the icy cruelty of someone who held unquestionable superiority. "I know exactly what you're plotting, and I suggest you abandon those filthy thoughts."His voice was low and magnetic, but it carried an undeniable undercurrent of menace.Trevor smirked provocatively. "Dexter, what could I possibly have in mind? I only want to help Angela relax and make sure she gets her belongings back quickly."Blood streaked his face, and his smile twisted into something disturbingly off-kilter. Angela, catching sight of him, felt her fury flare into a blaze.Helpless and exasperated, she turned to Dexter. "Please, just get rid of him. I'll waive your room fee for an entire week."Trevor's eyes sparkled at her words. It was as though he'd stumbled upon a hidden truth. The dynamic between Angela and Dexter was far less harmonious than the rumors suggested. How intriguing.When Angela stepped into the room moments later, Trevor

A middle-aged man stood with his back to her, holding a glass in one hand while his other hand reached toward the black stockings of a female employee's skirt. Sensing something, the female employee spun around abruptly. The glass shook in her hand, spilling hot water over the man. He yelped in pain, stumbling backward, barely managing to keep his balance. "Hey! What are you doing? Are you trying to burn me?" the man yelled, his indignation flaring.Angela stood at the door, her gaze fixed on the man. She recognized him instantly. It was Hector Zander, a friend of Nora's, visiting the Graham Group for potential collaborations. Rumor had it that he was interested in launching a major project. The woman nearly harassed was none other than Yvonne, Angela's new assistant."You were clearly about to touch me. How dare you—" Yvonne started, her voice shaky."What nonsense are you saying? Don't slander me! When have I ever laid a finger on you?" Hector shot back, interrupting Yvonne.

Angela pressed her lips together, letting silence speak for itself. Judy's tears flowed instantly, her composure shattering. "You heartless bastard! How could you be so cruel? I've stayed by your side all these years, running the household, being your wife, and this is how you repay me?"Watching her break down like this, Angela felt an odd sense of satisfaction."Angie, so what's the plan now? We'll do whatever you say." Zack grinned foolishly, as if the entire mess had nothing to do with him. Both Bill and Judy froze, their heads snapping toward Zack in perfect unison. They glared at him, their shared disapproval unmistakable, but neither said a word.For now, they were like ants on a hot pan, frazzled and clueless, while Angela remained surprisingly calm."First, the two of you need to appear in public together. When people see you united, the rumors will naturally lose their power. Second, issue an official statement. Make it clear that anyone who spreads defamatory claims

"You think I wanna be here?" Angela snorted. "I'm here to tell you to move your secret family elsewhere. Make sure they don't appear in public."Bill averted his gaze, trying to grasp the meaning behind Angela's words."I'm part of the Graham family, part of the Graham Group," Angela continued, her voice sharp with frustration. "Do you really think I'd dig my own grave?""I'll call them," Bill started to say, but before he could finish, the door swung open again. This time, it was Judy and Zack. "Mom, calm down. When you were dating Dad, didn't you already know how much of a flirt he was? You're just the product of his infidelity. Now that he has a mistress, why are you so upset and angry?"Zack was good at defusing tension, spreading his arms as if to block Judy, his posture awkward but well-meaning. "Get out of my way, you traitor! How dare you help that bastard! You're not even my son anymore!" Judy was fierce and domineering. She shoved Zack aside, took a few steps for

Zack was rambling, but Angela couldn't focus on his words. Her mind was occupied with the possibility that someone else had leaked the information.She remained silent. Dexter and Fiona weren't the gossiping type either."Hey, Dad's here," Zack suddenly said, then dashed off. Before Angela could react, Bill walked in with an angry face."You're so dishonest, Angela. You're simply outrageous!" Bill's eyes were bloodshot with fury, and a cold menace radiated from him. "I didn't do it," Angela said, her expression unchanged. "You might want to check if the rumors leaked from somewhere else." "If it wasn't you, then who else could it be? You've taken the shares, and my reputation is about to be ruined. I didn't expect you to—" "I told you it wasn't me. Can you guarantee that you've kept the mother-son trio hidden so well all these years? Has no one else found out, or could they have accidentally let it slip?" Angela coldly glared at him. "It's impossible," Bill fumed, pacing

Dexter turned his head with a disgruntled expression, ignoring Fiona. At least she had been there to keep things from getting awkward; without her, he wasn't sure how things would have gone. Other people's mothers-in-law were typically considered nuisances or troublemakers, but Angela's had turned into an asset. "Mom, I must thank you this time, too. I toast to you." This time, Angela stood up steadily and respectfully raised a glass to Fiona. The atmosphere between the three of them was strange, yet oddly harmonious. On the way back, Angela slept on Fiona's shoulder the entire ride, her phone ringing constantly. Fiona grew a bit irritated and opened Angela's bag to check her phone. To her surprise, it was a voice message from Trevor. "When did she start talking to Trevor?" Fiona's voice turned cold. "Delete it," Dexter glanced at her through the rearview mirror, his gaze sharp. Fiona raised an eyebrow, quickly deleting the message. But soon, Trevor sent another message

Dexter and Fiona were two people who were not to be underestimated. With a mere snap of their fingers, they could ruin him. Bill stood no chance against them. "Angela, I'm your father. You—""The pen is here." Angela ignored his fake tears and placed the pen on top of the contract without a second glance. "You are threatening and slandering me. Angela, you are simply outrageous. Your father is alive and well, and here you are, trying to usurp the throne. How could you be so unreasonable!" Bill completely lost his composure; his finger pointed accusingly at Angela, his eyes blazing with fury. Angela nearly laughed in disbelief. Usurp the throne? Did this guy really think of himself as an emperor? "Mr. Graham, I advise you to be kind." At this moment, Dexter, who had been sitting silently by, suddenly spoke up, his tone calm and unusually soothing. Fiona chimed in as well, "Is it just a portion of the shares you're losing, or are you also losing your reputation and the compan

Bill finally snapped out of his daze, irritation clearly etched on his face. "This matter is over. After all, it was Hector's fault. Let's just move on and not stir up any more trouble," he said impatiently. Nora, as usual, was coming up with bad ideas. If it weren't for her connections and her ability to bring in business, he would have fired her long ago."This isn't acceptable! She's simply—""Enough." Bill waved his hand dismissively. "I know what I'm doing."Nora fumed with frustration, but seeing that there was nothing more she could do, she reluctantly left the office.As she reached the door, she unexpectedly ran into Angela, Dexter, and Fiona.Nora was wary of Dexter, so she hurriedly walked past them.Once she was out of earshot and in a more secluded area, she paused and glanced back at the trio's retreating figures. Something felt off. Could something be happening?Nora secretly walked back and stood behind a big plant pot by the door."Oh, Dexter, Mrs. Bamford,

Dexter sighed lightly. "Your dad arranged for her to stay in the same neighborhood as Judy, though it's a couple of buildings apart." "I can't believe it." Angela laughed bitterly in anger. "Doesn't he worry about being found out? Judy's not exactly a submissive person. If she finds out, she'll tear him to pieces.""There's also a paternity test report," Dexter said indifferently, picking up a document. "With this, you can go directly to Bill and make demands. I suggest you ask for shares, starting with 20%.""But as far as I know, Bill only owns 60%. Will he really give me a third of that?" Angela was so overwhelmed that she could barely think clearly anymore.Dexter placed a hand on her shoulder, speaking each word with determination. "I'll go with you. Even if we have to use threats or persuasion, we'll make sure to get it."The next morning, Angela got up early. In fact, she hadn't slept all night, and her eyes were swollen, dark circles heavy beneath them."You're about t

It was Trevor!Angela stood frozen. How unlucky could she get?"Let's go, hurry up!" Angela pretended she hadn't heard, urging Dexter to leave immediately. But Trevor spoke up. "Bill's having an affair and has a daughter who's already 15 years old." Angela was stunned. What was he talking about?Taking the opportunity, Trevor approached Angela and said, "Angela, add my number, and I'll send you the evidence."Before she could respond, he snatched her phone and quickly added himself to her contacts. "Bye, I'll send it to you soon," Trevor said, disappearing as quickly as he came, like a gust of wind.Dexter's face darkened, black as a storm cloud. He had been one step too slow.Later that night, Angela tossed and turned in bed. She had sent Trevor dozens of messages, persistently asking him to send the materials. He kept toying with her, coaxing her into answering numerous questions. "Angela, one last question—do you like Dexter or not?" That crazy man sent yet anothe

Dexter's presence here meant he wasn't entirely indifferent to Angela. For Bill, this was a golden opportunity. It meant he could continue leveraging his self-proclaimed role as Dexter's future father-in-law to gain benefits. This was nothing short of fantastic news. "I heard she works here, so I stopped by," Dexter said casually, his gaze sweeping over the group before landing on Angela. "Are you upset?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. Angela looked at him as if she'd seen a ghost. "What are you doing here?" She wasn't buying his story of just happening to pass by. "I thought I'd take you out for a meal and have a chat." A faint smile curved his lips. "Need help?" Angela rolled her eyes at him and was about to retort sharply when a thought struck her. His presence exuded authority, which could save her the trouble of dealing with these idiots on her own. "Perfect timing. Hector tried to harass my colleague. I found the evidence, but he's refusing to apologize…""Nonsen
