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

Joseph appeared incredibly frail, and his complexion was ghostly pale.Angela's heart ached when she saw him. She wanted to approach him and get a closer look. However, Ursula and Cecilia stepped forward first, wiping away their tears. One by one, others joined them, crowding around Joseph.As such, Angela could only crane her neck to observe from afar, silently praying that Joseph would wake up soon.By evening, everyone was occupied, and it was finally Angela's turn. She volunteered to stay and take care of Joseph, and no one disagreed.Dexter said sternly, "I'll stay back with you. I've arranged for someone to bring toiletries and our clothes. We'll be staying in the adjacent ward."Angela didn't see any problem with his plan and gladly accepted it. However, Joseph was still unconscious, which left both of them feeling a bit bored.Angela held Joseph's hand and talked to him. After that, she called Callum to request two days off for personal matters. Callum agreed without aski

Angela trembled violently as she stood frozen in place. Her already pale face instantly lost all color.Sure enough, what was meant to come would come, no matter how hard she tried to avoid it."Grandma, this has nothing to do with you." Dexter suddenly stepped forward in three quick strides, planting himself firmly in front of Angela. Every word he spoke was powerful and resolute.Angela was slightly stunned. His back was like an unbreakable wall—solid and unyielding.Natalie, however, was utterly shocked. She stared at Dexter in disbelief. "What do you mean by that? Isn't the child she's carrying yours? You two have only been divorced for a while. Don't tell me she already has someone else's—""Grandma!" Dexter cut her off sharply before she could say anything more offensive. "I said this has nothing to do with you."With that, he turned around, grabbed Angela's arm, and led her out the door. "Where do you want to go? I'll take you.""Home," Angela replied hoarsely. She looked

Dexter stood motionless outside the room for what felt like forever until Natalie approached with the help of Ursula."Dexter, is it true that that woman is pregnant? Is it your child? Is it a child of the Bamford family?" Natalie was unusually excited. There was even a hopeful glow in her once lifeless eyes.Dexter's mind was in chaos. He nodded vaguely, not wanting to say anything more.Alas, Natalie wouldn't stop asking questions, like whether Angela's previously poor health would make the pregnancy risky or who would get custody of the child now that the two of them were divorced."Grandma, you should go get some rest. We haven't even discussed all of this yet." Dexter finally couldn't take it anymore and gently persuaded her to leave.But just then, someone from Joseph's side came to call him. Dexter had no choice but to get Fiona to stay with Angela while he hurried off.Joseph had also heard about the pregnancy. In fact, the moment the result was confirmed, the news spread

"Why are you stammering like this? Are you even a man?" Fiona gave Dexter a disapproving smack on the back before bluntly revealing the truth. "Angela, you're pregnant."Angela was speechless. What did Fiona just say?She genuinely thought something was wrong with her ears. How could she have heard something so absurd? How could she possibly be pregnant? Hadn't she become infertile after her body had been exposed to something harmful?Even though Dexter had forced her to undergo treatment for a while, it shouldn't have worked that well.Angela's face shifted between pale and flushed a few times. After a minute or two, she finally came back to her senses. "Madam Fiona, are you joking?"She gave an incredulous laugh, suspecting that Fiona didn't want her to be just a friend anymore and wanted her to be her daughter-in-law instead.With a heavy sigh, Fiona pulled out a blood test report. Angela stiffly accepted the undeniable proof and gave it a quick scan, only to be instantly dumb

Joseph's eyes were filled with worry, as if he feared Angela would be left without support in the future.She was about to speak when she suddenly felt a wave of nausea rise in her stomach, causing her to nearly gag. She quickly got up and poured herself a glass of water, barely managing to suppress the discomfort.It seemed like her body hadn't fully recovered yet, as even a little fatigue made her feel unwell."Grandpa, I've been swamped with work recently. I have no energy to focus on anything else," Angela said with a bitter smile before letting out a long sigh.The weight on her shoulders was just too heavy, so heavy that she could barely catch her breath.Joseph looked at her meaningfully, a trace of regret and helplessness crossing his eyes.…It was past 11:00 pm when Angela finally went to the guest room after her conversation with Joseph.By then, she was already physically and mentally exhausted. She collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the

Back when Angela and Dexter were still together, Joseph had clearly been biased toward them. Now that they were divorced, Joseph was still unable to let go of Angela. How could anyone tolerate that?"Grandma, Aunt Ursula, Grandpa treated Angela very well before. It's only right that she comes to visit him." Dexter's face showed no expression, but his tone was firm.Since he had spoken, Ursula stopped talking. She could sense something was off, but seeing the awkwardness between Dexter and Angela, it didn't really seem like anything was going on. Thinking it over, she decided to stay quiet.Natalie, however, wasn't so easy to deal with.Seeing that Dexter wasn't taking her side, she became annoyed and went straight inside, saying to Angela, "Alright, since you've already seen Joseph, you should go. He needs rest."Upon hearing this, Joseph immediately started coughing, his face turning pale.The exasperated Angela didn't respond to that. Instead, she immediately tried to calm Jose

Jennifer was rather frustrated. In theory, a man like Dexter, who was so charming and outstanding, should have easily won Angela over with all the effort he had put in to make her change her mind.Yet, the stubborn Angela acted like someone who had kicked a drug addiction. She merely observed from the sidelines, refusing to take the bait.Jennifer also believed that Dexter was being too laid-back about this. He was making her create minor issues for Angela, but he hadn't made any big moves himself. How could that work?"Mr. Bamford, if you ask me, you should get your family to help," Jennifer suggested. "I heard Ms. Graham is very close to your grandfather. If you involve him, she will definitely…"She didn't voice the rest of her thoughts.Dexter stared silently into space, as if lost in thought. He didn't say anything for a long time.Jennifer became anxious. "Mr. Bamford, you two have feelings for each other. You can't cut off contact. You need to show up in front of her occas

"You're out of luck. The elevator's to the right—please leave." Angela showed no courtesy as she outright told Jennifer to go. She couldn't be bothered to waste any more time on this drama queen."You…"Jennifer stood up abruptly, furious. "Angela, do you even hear yourself? I'm representing Bamford Co. Since you dare refuse me, does that mean you're not worried that this will anger Mr. Bamford?""Oh, I'm so scared!" Angela made an exaggerated face before smirking, making it clear she wasn't taking Jennifer seriously at all. "If you don't leave now, I'll have to call security.""Then I'll just have Mr. Bamford personally come here to talk to you." Jennifer sneered, waving her phone that had diamond studs on the back."Ms. Graham, you and Mr. Bamford have already gone your separate ways. I'm sure you don't want to have anything to do with him anymore, right? If he comes here to talk to you, your decision will change, won't it?"Angela remained indifferent, looking at Jennifer with

As a woman, Angela might not be the most perceptive in some areas, but when it came to matters of the heart, she knew what she was talking about.She could tell that Ingrid, despite her cold and distant demeanor, truly liked Austin. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here and swallowed her pride for him.Angela wasn't petty. As long as things could be cleared up over time, she wouldn't hold onto grudges.…In the afternoon, she and Austin held a management meeting to analyze and summarize the recent live commerce project.At the end, they conducted a vote, and more than half of the people fully supported Angela's decision. The rest had no choice but to go along with the majority. With this, Angela had managed to establish herself in the company for the time being.The live commerce gradually fell into a rhythm, boosting sales several times over and bringing Horizon back into the spotlight with consumers.To maintain this momentum, Angela had the HR department hire a group of youn

It was just that Ingrid hadn't quite shifted her perspective yet.At the moment, Angela was wondering whether things could be resolved peacefully. If tensions could be eased, wouldn't that mean she would gain a highly capable ally? Why would she go out of her way to maximize animosity?"What a shame; I absolutely hate cream puffs." Unfortunately, Ingrid wasn't having any of it. She shot a disdainful glance at Angela and the cream puffs.Angela froze for a second. Then, shrugging it off, she simply opened the plastic bag and took a bite of a cream puff."Well, if you've got something to say, go ahead. I've got no time to waste on someone who doesn't appreciate cream puffs." She spoke righteously, as if anyone who disliked cream puffs didn't deserve her respect.Ingrid wore a look of complete bewilderment. She stared at Angela, wondering if she had changed overnight. What was going on today? Had everyone eaten some weird mushroom or something, making them act all weird?"My dad w
