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?

That being said, the truth was clear. It was both logical and expected.Angela tightly gripped her clothes in silence. It was Andrew once again. She'd thought he'd given up, but his bold actions surprised her. Given how shameless he was, she decided not to give him another chance.She directly reported Andrew to the police and filed a lawsuit against him. The police acted swiftly, conducting an investigation and gathering evidence within just two days before moving to apprehend him. Despite Andrew's prolonged resistance, the competent officers ultimately overpowered him. This incident also created quite a buzz within Graham Group.Angela had been staying in the hospital all this while. Joanne and Rocky were the ones who shared the news with her.Yet, an unexpected guest arrived at the hospital the night Andrew was arrested. It was his wife, Bianca Carpenter. Accompanying her was Sean, who had only been released two days ago.Both of them made their intention to see Angela clear.

"Watch out!" Dexter exclaimed as he pushed the door open, his voice trembling upon witnessing the scene before him.Angela simply sneered. "Boring."As Sean charged at her, she quickly dodged and grabbed his hair, throwing him away hard. The dagger fell with a clang as Sean was flung several feet away.She brushed her hands off elegantly and offered a subtle smile. "Just you? Do you really believe you can kill me?"Her kickboxing practice hadn't been in vain. What Sean had done was utterly absurd.At that moment, Joanne firmly held Sean down just outside the door. Despite his desperate attempts to escape, he remained trapped."Idiot!" Bianca angrily slapped Sean in the face.Sean writhed on the ground, desperately trying to escape Joanne's firm grip. Despite his relentless efforts, he couldn't break free. Bianca felt helpless and was ready to plead for Sean's release, but Angela silenced her with a glance.Bianca and Sean were taken out by the bodyguards. Before they left, Ange

Dexter seemed to have seen through everything.Angela was taken aback and felt uneasy. Despite grasping the situation, Dexter had still chosen to play along with her performance.She remembered Fiona's words from that day. He'd helped her without expecting anything in return, never making her feel indebted. Yet, she couldn't shake it from her mind. Alas, a strong sense of morality could be a burden sometimes.She personally selected her dress and ordered a suit for Dexter, ensuring they were flown in just in time. On the day of the event, she delivered it to him.Her dress was a classic dark green hand-embroidered piece, beautifully complemented by silver high heels that accentuated her stunning figure. The addition of a green hair accessory added an extra touch of elegance to her look.Dexter's suit mirrored her style, featuring a suit crafted in a rich dark green. At first glance, their outfits looked somewhat alike.He put it on quickly, looking cool and dignified. He stood

Harvey personally escorted Angela and Dexter to the front row in the VIP area and chatted with them until he needed to go and greet other guests.Once he was gone, Angela felt a sense of relief. She was finally able to relax and stop smiling. While it was genuine, constantly smiling had begun to strain her face.She casually munched on the snacks before her. "Mr. Bamford, it's unusual to see you in such a friendly mood today." Dexter glanced at her and crossed his legs confidently. "Same here." She couldn't help laughing. She found Dexter quite interesting."Angela, long time no see." A familiar voice reached her ears.Angela stiffened, and her scalp went numb. She turned to see Trevor smiling at her and wondered why he was there.Damn it! It had been so long since she'd seen him that she nearly forgot about that jerk. She couldn't believe she'd run into him here."Angela, you don't seem very happy." Dexter looked at Angela with a smirk.With Natalie's support, Trevor's sta

It was truly perplexing. Dexter had never understood what went through Angela's head before. He'd completely ignored Angela before, showing no interest in getting to know her.Yet now, he could understand her effortlessly with a mere glance or gesture. They'd come a long way indeed. It was astonishing. As they approached Bamford Manor, the sound of laughter filled the air. Trevor was entertaining Natalie and Joseph."Angela, you're finally here. Come and sit here." Natalie waved excitedly as she spotted Angela. The latter was taken aback by Natalie's warm tone but still sat down out of respect for her. Joseph came downstairs. He wore his glasses, indicating he'd clearly preoccupied with work in the study. He rushed down and shot an accusatory glare at Angela. "How could you? You haven't been here in days. You're so heartless and clearly don't care about me.""Grandpa, I've been really busy, but I came as soon as I could. Please don't be angry. Let me massage your legs and bac

After dinner, Angela and the others had left. Joseph called Trevor to the study."Trevor, if you want to give Angela a gift, why not present it yourself? Why does it have to come from me?" Joseph asked, puzzled.Trevor chuckled. "Grandpa, didn't you ask me this question a few days ago? I was concerned that she wouldn't accept the gift if I gave it to her since she's still upset with me. I just wanted to make her happy."Joseph looked at him helplessly. "If you'd been... Forget it. It's important to admit mistakes and correct them. Just be kind in the future. Alright?"Trevor nodded in agreement and spent some time sitting with Joseph. Then, he left.The bracelet was indeed from him. It had a special effect, and as long as she continued to wear it, its effects would soon reveal themselves. Trevor eagerly anticipated that moment.On the way back, Angela constantly glanced at the bracelet on her wrist, occasionally using her phone's flashlight to admire the floating flowers inside.

Angela had also ordered an enormous cake. It was a gigantic Dexter. As three waiters gradually wheeled the cake into the venue, a hush fell over the crowd.Angela beamed with excitement and turned to Mia, asking, "Isn't it incredible? This cake looks just like Dexter! It perfectly matches the photo I gave the baker. I never expected it to turn out this well."Mia felt utterly helpless, but she managed a strained laugh to spare Angela's feelings. "Yes, the cake looks like Mr. Bamford, but I'm not sure if it tastes good.""Fuck! Haha! Angela, you ordered a human-shaped cake? I've never seen anything like it before. You're making me laugh so hard!" Zayn's hearty laughter broke the tension in the room, prompting everyone to join in the laughter."It truly looks like Mr. Bamford. I want to take a photo to record this moment.""Exactly. This cake is incredibly creative, measuring nearly six feet tall. It's not only stunning but also functional.""Let's take a group photo," one of the f

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
