Chapter 180

Author: Dream Fish
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

    Angela clearly wasn't part of the conversation. She frowned and focused on her tablet."Angela?" Fiona called out as she approached and noticed Angela engrossed in a drama series. She was wearing headphones, but they were hidden from view by her hair. She removed the headphones. "What happened?"Fiona was speechless. "Nevermind. Just keep watching.""How can she be so carefree?" Fiona glanced at Dexter with concern, feeling like Angela was a little slow-witted. Dexter retorted, "Should I do something about it?"Angela removed her headphones and overheard his question. "Nope. He is the ambassador Mr. Snowden approved. Even if I disagree, I can't take any action against him."She emphasised "Mr. Snowden". Upon hearing that, Dexter's expression changed. "You only care about Callum. Do you really have to listen to him?"She snorted. "Of course. He's my superior. He also readily supported me during my toughest times. So I'll definitely respect and follow his orders."Dexter was

    Zack recalled that Angela had recently mentioned her official divorce from Dexter, stating that they were no longer married. He couldn't help but question why Dexter was there, attending to her with such care and attention.He scratched his head in confusion, unable to piece it all together. Finally, he blurted out, "Dexter, Angela and you... Aren't you two..."Dexter glanced at him. "What?"Zack asked directly, "You two are divorced, yet you still have feelings for her. Are you trying to win her back now?"Dexter was stunned, feeling slightly embarrassed.Zack sat down next to him with a silly smile. "It's alright, Dexter. We're family; you don't have to be shy. In the past, I thought it was fine if you divorced her, as I believed she didn't deserve you. "But I've come to realize that Angela is truly exceptional, and you barely measure up to her. If you're serious about winning her back, I can help you. What do you say?"Dexter boldly remarked, "What assistance can you offer?

    "Ms. Graham, Mr. Bamford has dispatched 50 employees, and they've already started working," Clara said excitedly on the phone.Angela was taken aback upon hearing that Dexter had sent a team to assist her. However, despite the large number of people he'd sent, the factory equipment remained insufficient."Ms. Graham, Mr. Bamford has also sent us a batch of new equipment, which is currently being unloaded," Clara added, her voice brimming with emotion. She was overwhelmed with joy and was fighting back tears.Angela stood silently in the corridor, feeling dizzy. It felt surreal that Dexter had actually stepped in to assist her and resolved the pressing issue troubling her within mere minutes. How had he suddenly become so kind? Angela found herself utterly perplexed. She was lost in thought for a long time.At that moment, an overwhelming fatigue washed over her. She felt lightheaded, and her limbs were numb. An intense drowsiness began to set in."What's going on? You're not goi

    "Have you finished your work?" Dexter asked casually. He removed his sunglasses and gazed at her quietly.At that moment, Angela had yet to even wipe the dust from her face. Exhausted from a sleepless night of work and battling her anxiety, she appeared far more haggard than Dexter."I have something I need to take care of first. Please allow me to go. You should return to the hospital first. I'll visit you as soon as I'm done, alright?" Angela's tone softened as she recalled his kindness.Her tone was like a man persuading his mistress to return to the home. Dexter had become the eager mistress, waiting for her arrival. Dexter inhaled deeply and got out of his car. He approached her and commanded, "Get down first."Angela rejected anxiously. "No. I have something urgent to take care of.""Your face is so dirty. Do you want to embarrass yourself by going out like that?" Dexter sneered.In an instant, a flicker of care appeared in the depths of his eyes.Last night, after she

    The doubt in Harvey's eyes vanished, replaced entirely by admiration and praise. "I didn't expect that you would have such an opportunity. I'm looking forward to it.""I won't let you down."...After Harvey left, Angela asked everyone to start buying leather again. She then held a meeting with the factory employees, urging them to work overtime and stay focused on their goals."It's impossible to finish the order. We put in so much effort, but everything ended up in ashes. Is this deal still on?""That's right. There was a big fire just now, and everyone is still panicking. How can we stay positive?""Ms. Graham is ridiculous. Does she think we're all magicians?"While Angela spoke on stage, the workers below whispered, visibly dissatisfied. Noticing this, Clara waited for Angela to pause and then informed her about their comments.Angela offered a faint smile, having fully anticipated this. It was simply a part of human nature. As she prepared to speak again, she began wit

    By this time, the media had caught wind of the news and quickly gathered at the factory to capture photos. Angela took it upon herself to release a public notice detailing the incident's causes and consequences, as well as the disciplinary actions taken against those involved and the measures being implemented to support the injured.Fortunately, she acted swiftly by arriving promptly to assess the situation. She communicated clearly to the public, took responsibility for her mistakes, and committed to rebuilding the warehouse while enhancing management regulations. Her fast response effectively cut the backlash she faced by at least half.The following morning, the senior executives of Graham Group began to arrive one by one, greeted by the sight of the warehouse in ruins. They were shocked by the strange odor in the air and saw Angela efficiently directing the team in a well-organized response to the aftermath of the disaster."Ms. Graham, are you alright?"

    "Why didn't I notice you worked so hard before?" Dexter joked, enjoying a delicious dessert in the hospital.While he remained relaxed, Angela was overwhelmed by anxiety. With just five days until the deadline, they had only managed to complete 60% of the production."I never really had the opportunity to be busy before," Angela replied casually, setting her phone aside. She then rubbed her face hard, trying to dispel the fatigue that lingered.She felt unusually irritable and uneasy today, as though something was about to happen. Ultimately, she attributed it to the uncomfortable hospital bed.Outside the window, a gentle night breeze blew, making the curtains dance around. Angela awoke to her racing thoughts and sat up in bed. Just then, her phone rang. It was Clara calling. "Ms. Graham, our factory is on fire."The simple sentence shocked Angela, leaving her numb. "What's going on?"As soon as she posed the question, she tossed aside the quilt and instantly got out of bed. S

    Andrew's fury was palpable. "Nonsense! You didn't even acknowledge my contribution to the company!""Didn't the company reward you appropriately? Your salary and stock dividends are the highest besides Bill's, not counting those bribes you received. "Mr. Graham, there are things I'm aware of but won't mention for the sake of your dignity. Please don't create a scene unless you want to lose what's left of your reputation."As Angela confronted Andrew, she went from seeming quiet to confident. She could even tackle problems with a sense of humor.Andrew's anger continued to grow. The harder he fought, the more he felt defeated."Uncle Andrew, Angela has been merciful. If you know what's best, leave now. If you refuse, I can take you." Zack, who had been observing the situation with amusement, chimed in.Angela remarked, "Ask Joanne to send Mr. Graham out. If he creates trouble again, don't intervene. There's no point in giving him more chances since he's being unreasonable."Afte

    Angela couldn't shake off her concern for Dexter. After all, he had been injured because of her. How could she not feel anxious about it?The doctor arrived promptly and conducted a thorough checkup on Dexter. He concluded that Dexter's injury was acting up again, leading to poor blood circulation. He needed to go to the hospital for medication and injections. Angela went with him. Meanwhile, Zack stayed home to wait for Joanne."Mr. Bamford, it's best for you to stay in the hospital. Given your current health condition, it's not advisable..." the doctor advised worriedly.The nurse had assisted Dexter in changing into a hospital gown. He propped against the bed, visibly uncomfortable due to the lack of support behind him. Noticing his discomfort, Angela quickly fetched a pillow and offered him a box of tissues to wipe the cold sweat beading on his forehead. Dexter glanced at her intensely and remained silent."You should consider staying here for the next few days. There's no

    The abrupt ringing of the phone shattered the stillness in the room, startling everyone present. Andrew answered impatiently, "Who is it?"On the other end of the line, Angela replied with a smirk, "It's me, Mr. Graham. The deadline I set has passed, and I still haven't heard back from you. I've asked someone to clear the COO's office for the department of supervision, which was previously cramped in the executive office."Andrew was furious. "How dare you!""Did I not inform you ahead of time? Oh, by the way, it seems you didn't select any of the options I proposed, so I've decided to take matters into my own hands. "There's a small company in Cetol that opened a few years ago. If you're okay with it, you can start working there. I've sent all the relevant information to you via email."In a moment of frustration, Andrew hurled his phone away before Angela could complete her sentence. All his life, he had enjoyed success at Graham Group, always managing to get what he desired.
