As Logan's name was suddenly called, he immediately turned pale.There was no way Sean had reported his absence. He barely showed up ten days a month.Not only was Logan unable to hold anyone accountable, but he also had to help cover things up. After all, Andrew was the boss."Mr. Chapman, it seems that despite being the head of the HR department, you aren't too familiar with the company's leave policies. If that's the case, perhaps we should find someone more competent for the job?" Angela arched a brow at Logan, her eyes carrying a sharp warning.Logan was immediately shocked and became anxious. With Angela raging at the moment, he certainly couldn't risk being the scapegoat and losing his job."Ms. Graham, as far as I know, Mr. Sean didn't submit a leave request." Logan lowered his head, avoiding Andrew's gaze as he spoke cautiously.Unbelievable. Just this morning, he had been so sure of himself, confident that Angela was no threat, and taken her lightly. Yet, within less th

Andrew was the lifeblood of the company. When he collapsed, everyone was thrown into chaos.In the midst of the turmoil, Angela calmly walked up to the podium, her gaze sweeping over the crowd. "The meeting will continue!"Her voice wasn't too loud, but the four words were enough to make the atmosphere in the room even more tense. Everyone froze, staring at her in astonishment.Angela's gaze was sharp. "Even if all the senior executives of the company pass out, the company must continue to operate as usual!"Her attitude and presence were far from that of a young person in her 20s. She exuded the air of someone with decades of experience in the business world, and her every movement radiated formidable confidence.The crowd exchanged glances, but ultimately, they returned to their seats in silence, watching Angela on the podium.Angela had never been in such a high position before, with hundreds of eyes on her. No wonder Dexter always had such a stern face.If one had to face

Even Dexter himself couldn't explain why he instinctively wanted to avoid Angela's gaze.Was he afraid she'd find out he was here?Rocky fumbled to roll up the window, only to realize that Angela hadn't even spared them a glance. She got into her car and drove off without hesitation.Rocky couldn't help but feel that Dexter was overthinking things.Angela had left alone and headed to the hospital to check on Andrew.At a time like this, she wouldn't allow herself to be caught in a scandal. Too many people were watching her, waiting for her to slip up so they could seize the opportunity to attack.Andrew had suffered a sudden heart attack. Luckily, the people around him had given him a fast-acting heart medication, so by the time he had reached the hospital, he had already been out of danger.But he refused to leave. Instead, he insisted that the doctors exaggerate his condition in front of the assistants who had accompanied him."She's heartless! Mr. Graham has worked tirelessl

Sean stood in the doorway of the hospital room. His large frame was almost too big to fit through.Before he even stepped inside, he pointed at Angela's nose and started yelling, "You vicious woman! My dad worked tirelessly for your family his entire life, and this is how he ends up? How can you be so heartless?"I've seen people bite the hand that feeds them, but I've never seen someone as stupid as you—striking before you've even secured your place. Aren't you afraid people will curse you behind your back?"He looked like he had the moral high ground with his show of aggression.Angela crossed her arms before smiling. "Mr. Sean, don't get so worked up. When did I ever bite the hand that feeds me? I merely got rid of a parasite—you. At most, Mr. Andrew's reputation being affected is just collateral damage. That's hardly what I'd call biting the hand that feeds me. Wouldn't you agree?"It was true. Andrew was still too valuable to remove him from the company. He held control over

It was Angela's first day at the company. Bill wondered whether those people had done their part. Had they managed to put pressure on her?Bill was now completely under Angela's control. The hospital staff wouldn't allow him to contact the outside world, and his phone had been confiscated.All he could do was read, watch TV, and tend to the garden. He was on the verge of going crazy."Mr. Graham, Mr. Graham!" A familiar voice suddenly called from behind.Bill stiffened, thinking he must have misheard.Turning around, he saw two people dressed as janitors hurrying toward him. At first glance, he didn't recognize them, but the voice he had just heard was unmistakable."Bill, it's me, Andrew." Andrew lifted his messy wig while pretending to sweep beside Bill, but his expression couldn't hide his excitement.Bill's expression changed. He knew it must not have been easy for Andrew to sneak in. He turned back around, continuing to feed the fish, and lowered his voice. "Why are you her

Bright moonlight shone through the window, and occasionally, birds flew by, chirping softly.The soothing warmth of the water enveloped Angela's weary body, easing her tense limbs. She gradually let her guard down and slipped into the water. When Dexter returned, he called out multiple times, but silence was all that greeted him. Noticing Angela's bag on the couch, he confirmed that she was indeed home. A wave of concern washed over him, prompting him to head upstairs to check on her. He found the bedroom door closed and locked from the inside.He knocked on her door once more, yet silence persisted. Overcome by a growing sense of anxiety, Dexter decided to pick the lock and let himself in.Angela was nearly completely submerged. The water reached up to her chin, threatening to engulf her completely. Without hesitation, he grabbed her shoulders and pulled her out.In a split second, Angela was jolted awake. The sight of Dexter and the unfolding scene before her caused her expre

Jordan served as the head of the finance department at Graham Group and was one of Bill's loyal subordinates. Much like Logan, he often flattered her brainless father. Though he was in his 40s and nearing the age of 50, he appeared to be in his 30s, a testament to his remarkable self-care."Mr. Cooper, why are you being distant? I need your help since I've just taken over the company, and I'm still getting to know it. As you saw in yesterday's meeting, many people don't seem to like me. What should I do?" Angela was concise and straightforward.Having figured out Angela's intentions, Jordan smirked, feeling secretly pleased."Ms. Graham, you think too highly of me. Just yesterday, you flaunted your authority the moment you arrived at the company. I'm sure nobody dares to challenge you now." His tone was neutral and light in a way that could make people feel uneasy.Angela chuckled and asked, "So what's your stance on this? We're both open-minded, so there's no reason to dance aroun
Love and Devotion: No Longer His to Claim Chapter 223
At that moment, Jordan was extremely agitated, trembling with a mix of fear and anger. He wanted to strangle Angela for being wretched enough to provoke him.Angela smirked. "It's quite straightforward. Return the money you embezzled and refrain from repeating such actions. If not, I'll forward the evidence to the police, and your life as you know it will be over."Jordan's complexion drained of color as he forced a smile, saying, "Of course..."Angela gestured with an open hand and added, "When it comes to other matters, that's entirely your own business. Who you like or want to be with is completely unrelated to me."Jordan felt slightly more relieved. He decided to send his mistress away when he got back and cut off contact for now."But if this scandal were to come to light, it could have serious consequences, especially for your wife..."Jordan asked coldly, "What do you want me to do? Just be direct."Angela replied indifferently, "Alright. I need you to stand by my side."

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.
