Joseph also asked, "Angela, what exactly happened?""Grandpa, Aunt Ursula, I am to blame. This is all my fault." Trevor came out of the hospital room, looking like he was ready to accept all blame.It was genuinely disgusting."If you must blame someone, blame me. This has nothing to do with Angela," Trevor added, giving Angela a meaningful look.Angela could no longer tolerate it. "Yes. It is all your fault. Who told you to stir up trouble? Grandma and I used to have a great relationship. If it weren't for you, how could she have hit me to the point that I look like this? You're the jinx!"She had so much frustration bottled up that she couldn't hold it in anymore.Trevor was just too disgusting.Everyone soon noticed her face.Even Ursula froze for a moment and said nothing else."Angie, tell me what happened." Joseph gestured for Angela to come closer.His voice was as gentle as always. He was always patient with Angela and would side with her.Angela suddenly teared up,

"Here, use this on your face." Dexter handed Angela a bag of ice cubes."Natalie can't distinguish right from wrong at all." Fiona felt uneasy seeing Angela's disheveled state."Just stay away from her and avoid any contact." Angela waved her hand dismissively. Her anger had mostly faded. She figured Natalie just spoiled Trevor and had been manipulated by him."This bastard has a surprising number of brainless fans." Angela was browsing through videos when she stumbled upon a short clip from Trevor's company. He certainly had an appealing charm and bore a striking resemblance to Dexter, which undoubtedly contributed to his success in the entertainment industry."Do you need my help? I know exactly how he gained his popularity, and I can make him just as unpopular in no time." Dexter gazed at her with a faint smile.Angela snorted. "No need. It has nothing to do with me. I don't care whether he lives or dies."She thought things would go smoothly. Unfortunately, fate had other p

Nora and the others were chatting excitedly. Yet, Angele remained expressionless and commanded calmly, "Get out of my way."She was eager to head to the pantry for a cup of coffee. She had no time for these foolish people."Angela, what are you proud of? Your reputation is ruined after you got caught seducing a younger man. Why not take a moment to look in the mirror?" Nora followed and stood in front of her. She smirked with her arms crossed as she humiliated Angela. Angela felt powerless. After filling up the water, she asked, "What's the point of saying this?"It might seem like a simple question, but beneath the surface lay a deep-seated contempt. She dismissed Nora entirely, rendering any thoughts or actions of hers irrelevant. Those humiliating comments were unworthy of any response."Bitch! You're shameless to begin with, and now everyone in the company knows.""Nora, do you remember where you are? This is Graham Group. I'm Angela Graham, and Bill is my father. Do you thi

"When did I fire you?" Bill asked impatiently."What? So it's not true? Then why did Angela say that to me? Mr. Graham, everyone knows you're fair and unbiased, even against your own daughter. How will you punish Angela for falsely accusing you and bullying me today?"Bill was rendered speechless. Punishing Angela was out of the question, given that he depended on her supply of medicine for his survival. Nora needed to stop spewing such nonsense.Nora looked at Angela complacently, as if she were certain that the latter would be punished. After all, she was Bill's most competent assistant."Ms. Rutherford, why do you seem to dislike me so much? Why are you so eager for me to leave the company? I just don't get it." Angela smiled coolly, her eyes showing disdain."Mr. Graham, what do you think?" Angela asked nonchalantly. She didn't care at all. After all, she thought she had nothing to fear.Nora seemed thrilled, confident that things would go as she expected.At that moment, Bi

Angela blocked Trevor immediately. Yet, he persisted and sent a message. "Angela, I truly need to speak with you. Stephen from DawnStar reached out to me and is interested in having me as the ambassador for your company."As she glanced at the message, her expression changed dramatically. Then, she immediately pulled the car over at the side of the road. Trevor also got out of his car and approached her. "Angela, should I agree to his request? Are you returning soon? If I say yes, then I can—""Shut up!" Angela was overwhelmed with rage, and her emotions spiraled out of control.She glared at Trevor, whose smirk only infuriated her further. She warned, "If you dare show up at DawnStar, I'll kill you!"Her anger was palpable, and she was so furious that her voice shook. In stark contrast, Trevor remained steadfast and composed. No matter how Angela acted, he quietly endured her behavior."Angela, please don't be like this. Our company is doing well, and I'm gaining popularity.

Dexter raised the spatula in his hand and said nonchalantly, "Isn't it obvious?"Angela was even more shocked. "You can cook?"Dexter offered a faint smile, turning his back to her. "There's nothing I can't do."What an arrogant man!After a while, he presented a plate of pasta topped with a perfectly poached egg and crispy bacon. It looked incredibly appetizing. The delicious aroma wafted through the air, tantalizing Angela's senses.She gazed at Dexter. "Are you trying to poison me?""Yes. Let's see if you're brave enough to eat it," Dexter said, rolling his eyes. He brought out another plate and sat in front of her. He started eating, looking as though he was thoroughly enjoying the food.The way he ate was both refined and surprisingly casual—worlds apart from his usual cold, stern demeanor.Angela couldn't resist and took a bite. To her surprise, it actually wasn't bad at all.…Soon, Angela finished her final days at Graham Group and returned to DawnStar Co. Upon her ar

However, what Angela didn't anticipate was Stephen's unexpected message the following morning, asking her to join him in welcoming Trevor. Anger was furious. Yet, as she recalled Callum's kind face, she reluctantly decided to set aside her personal grievances for the time being.Trevor entered the company without causing a stir, accompanied only by an assistant. He walked in front with one hand tucked in his pocket and sunglasses framing his face, exuding an air of indifference.As news of his arrival spread through the office, the young women eagerly leaned over their workstations, keen to get a glimpse of him.Those who managed to see him got so excited that they lost their composure, repeatedly praising his good looks. Others who couldn't see him could only listen to their colleagues gushing over him."Angela, it's great to see you again!" Trevor ignored the others and greeted her warmly. His flashed her a harmless smile, showing his perfectly white teeth.Angela attempted to

Angela reluctantly purchased two stale peaches and three overripe bananas before making her way to the hospital.Trevor was already awake, lying in bed with an IV drip connected to him. His face was pale, and he appeared weak, as though anyone could easily crush him.As Angela stepped in with a bag of rotten fruits, Trevor's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Angela, you came? And you even brought me gifts?"Angela was at a loss for words. Had he hit his head? Could what she'd brought even be considered gifts?"I bought them at the hospital entrance. If you want it, go ahead and eat it." She tossed the bag in front of him and settled down on the distant couch.She decided to wait just five more minutes before making her exit. She couldn't stand the thought of spending another second with that bastard. He truly was her greatest nemesis."Hey, nurse!" Trevor shouted at the door.A nurse promptly approached with a warm smile and inquired, "How can I help you?""Could you please wash

When Angela woke up, the room was utterly silent. She felt like she was being held in someone's embrace, a weight pressing on her chest, making her uncomfortable. "You're up?" Dexter's deep voice, filled with satisfaction, came from right beside her.Angela froze. She instinctively wanted to turn and sit up, but she was firmly held in his strong arms, unable to move. "I... I'm a little thirsty. I want to get some water." She avoided looking at his face. Her voice carried a hint of unease. "Hmm." Dexter stood up and turned away from her to pour a glass of water.He wore only black boxer briefs, showcasing his impressive physique. It was simply mesmerizing. His broad shoulders, trim waist, defined abs, and long legs were striking. But the most captivating feature was his face with sharp features, a chiseled jawline, and icy eyes that exuded indifference. He was absolutely stunning.Angela couldn't shake off the wild memories of last night and suddenly realized how much she h

"You're just getting back? Have you eaten yet? What's going on?" Fiona looked at Angela, surprised to see her return with such a heavy heart. Angela forced a faint smile and shook her head before heading upstairs. After shutting herself in her room, she didn't do anything. She didn't shower or change her clothes. She simply lay there, motionless, for two hours.A little past eleven, Angela heard a door open in the adjacent room. It must be Dexter coming back. She quickly got out of bed, kicking off her high heels and slipping into quieter slippers before stepping out. From the slightly ajar door, she could already smell the faint scent of alcohol. Dexter had been drinking. Without hesitation, she barged in. Before he could react, she switched off the lights and pushed him onto the bed.Dexter was startled. Instinctively, he tried to push her away. But the moment he realized it was her, he stopped moving. In the darkness, he looked at her intensely, feeling puzzled. He a

Austin was surprised by Angela's directness.After all, in the past, Bill and Judy had kicked her out of her home more than once. Despite being a wealthy socialite, she had ended up being a waitress and washing dishes in a restaurant just to make a living, even becoming the subject of ridicule. At that time, she had never even considered defying her family. She had accepted every word they said without hesitation. Her compliance had been so extreme.But at the very least, she'd still had a tiny spark of ambition. Otherwise, Genevieve wouldn't have chosen her as her last mentee.When they arrived at the top-floor office, Clara was already waiting outside. Seeing Angela approach, she quickly stepped forward and handed her an acquisition contract. Angela introduced Clara to Austin before taking the contract and leading both of them into the office. She asked Clara to take care of Austin while she focused intently on reviewing the document. Austin sat on the couch, quietly watc

Angela told Mia about what had happened earlier, hoping to get her opinion.Mia, who already felt that her life was complicated enough, found herself caught in a dilemma at this moment. "Angela, your situation is really tough. Just when Mr. Bamford is being the best to you, Austin suddenly showed up. It's really tricky," Mia said, holding Leo in her arms and furrowing her brows in thought.Angela collapsed onto the couch, staring at the ceiling in deep thought. If she agreed to break up with Dexter, he would be utterly heartbroken. Their relationship would be irreparably damaged. In fact, it might be even worse. Dexter's pride would prevent them from ever crossing paths again.After all, he was the one being abandoned. To him, it was the greatest humiliation.Yet, if she didn't break up with him, she would miss her last chance to see Genevieve. When it came to life and death, everything else should be secondary. She was conflicted, but it felt like she was gradually leaning to

Angela's eyes turned red, but her face became deathly pale. She stood there for a long time without saying a word. Austin said gently, "Calm down first. This is also the reason I came back this time."She asked emotionally, "Where is Ms. Lawson? I want to see her."She hadn't seen Genevieve for years. Back then, Genevieve and Austin had strongly advised her not to marry Dexter, but she had refused to listen. This led to a rift between them, and the two left in anger, never contacting her again.Austin looked at her intently. "You can see her, but… you have to agree to one condition."Angela was stunned. "What's it? Just say it."She had absolute trust in Austin. He would never force her into something unreasonable, let alone make her do anything against her morals. "Cut all ties with Dexter," he replied firmly.Angela almost nodded instinctively, but her mind suddenly went blank in chaos. She stared blankly at Austin, who was distant and cold. She frowned. "Austin, why?""Y

Angela was taken aback when her thoughts escaped her lips. She froze and gave an awkward chuckle. "Well… um... no matter how handsome they are, they're nothing compared to you. You're way more attractive. You're..."Dexter was visibly upset and glared at her. "Shut up! Stop going to places like that in the future!"Angela pouted but had no choice. She could only agree for now to calm his anger. Afterward, the two of them headed to Azure Club together. They arrived half an hour earlier than scheduled. Yet, to their surprise, Austin was already there, casually sipping his drink in the booth.He wore a black shirt and radiated an understated allure. The gold-rimmed glasses lent a touch of intellect to his sophisticated presence, while his graceful and composed movements further enhanced his charm. Just by sitting there, he attracted countless glances from other patrons. Some bold women even walked up to ask for his number, only to be met with a cold, piercing gaze that sent the

Dexter frowned instinctively.Angela's phone wasn't locked, and a message from someone named "Drifting Cloud" appeared on the screen. "Let's meet tomorrow at 6:00 pm in Azure Club."After seeing the location, Dexter instantly became nervous. Without hesitation, he picked up the phone and tapped into the message. Sure enough, "Drifting Cloud" was none other than Austin. Of all places, why did he have to choose Azure Club? There was no way Dexter would allow Angela to go there.Angela had become quite fond of handsome men. Whenever she saw a good-looking guy on the street, she would keep glancing at him. A couple of times, her colleagues had taken her to Azure Club to see the escorts. Ever since, she'd been obsessed, always looking for an excuse to go back. If it weren't for the fact that Callum owned the place, Dexter would've already bought out that indecent establishment and shut it down.But the one asking her out was Austin, someone she'd been eager to see for a long time
Love and Devotion: No Longer His to Claim Chapter 418
That kind of personality, combined with Austin's good looks and talent, made countless women flock to him. Yet, no one had ever seen him get particularly close to anyone. Even with Angela, he'd always been distant, rarely showing any warmth. Because of this, Angela had always felt a little intimidated around him and had never dared to get too close. But today, he'd taken the initiative to add her.She wondered if she should send him a message. Since he'd already made the first move, she figured she should at least show some sincerity in return.Suddenly, someone knocked on her door. Angela was shocked, then let out a sigh. The only person who'd come at this hour was Dexter. She wondered why he always appeared in the middle of the night instead of just going to bed like a normal person.Feeling helpless, she opened the door, ready to confront him. However, she found Dexter standing there with a thermometer in his mouth, looking sick and pitiful. "I'm having a fever," he said

Dexter took a deep breath and stared straight into Angela's eyes. "Do you think I need your damn money?"A rebellious thought suddenly popped into Angela's mind. "You might not need the money, but plenty of others do, like that tall, muscular male escort at Azure Club.""You have no sincerity at all! I went out of my way to help you with such a big favor," Dexter snapped before yanking the car door open and stepping out, slamming it shut with a loud bang.Angela was puzzled by the way he mistreated his cherished car. She hurried out as well. Hearing her footsteps, Dexter slowed down, adopting an effortlessly cool demeanor. He thought she was chasing after him. However, after a few moments of silence, he sensed something was off. He turned his head and was furious by what he saw. Angela had settled into the driver's seat and was following him at a relaxed pace, giving off the vibe of a commanding CEO. Dexter, already fuming, finally lost it. He strode toward her. "Get out!"
