In the next moment, Angela lost consciousness.When Dexter arrived, the firefighters were already assembling their equipment, preparing to lift the car out of the water."Where is she? Where's Angela?" Dexter yelled anxiously, grabbing a firefighter."We haven't found her yet. We've already sent people…"Before he could finish his sentence, Dexter had already thrown off his coat jacket and dived headfirst into the water.It was mid-autumn, and the lake water was especially cold. Holding his breath, Dexter searched around in the water, but all he saw were a few other rescuers like himself.There was no one in the car or around it.Dexter's heart pounded in panic. Without hesitation, he swam toward the deeper waters.Suddenly, a glimpse of olive green caught his eye. He quickly turned his head, looking toward an area of dense aquatic vegetation at the bottom of the lake.Without hesitation, Dexter dove down, clinging to a shred of hope.As he got closer, long strands of aquatic

"Dexter, how is Angie?" With a pale face, Zack rushed over from the other end of the corridor so fast that his coat billowed in the wind. He seemed extremely anxious.Dexter woke up with a start. Staring at Zack's worried face, he was momentarily at a loss for words.Zack gritted his teeth fiercely. "Logan has to be the one who's behind this—it can only be that bastard! Angie just fired him, and he immediately retaliated. He's utterly heartless and vicious. With the way he hurts people—he deserves to die!""Matters like this need to be thoroughly investigated; we can't just spout baseless accusations," Fiona piped up.Tears welled in Zack's eyes as he punched the air in fury. "Damn it! If I find out who hurt her, I'll make sure they pay with their life!""I will look into this." Dexter, who had been silent, finally found his voice. "I'll have someone look into it immediately. Whoever it is, I'll make sure they pay."Soon, what happened to Angela went viral. Everyone who needed to

At the moment, the bruised and battered Logan was being forcibly held down. He was kneeling on the ground, unable to utter a single word.Before he was brought in, Zack had beaten him up. If others hadn't held Zack back, he might have crippled Logan in his rage.Logan uttered, "I was just angry and filled with hatred! I had worked my ass off for the company for so many years. Yet, in the end, she treated me like this over some worthless woman and trampled my dignity underfoot. She took away all my pride as a man—how could I just accept that?"Angela got what she deserved. She offended so many people as soon as she took charge. I just used the most ruthless method to deal with her, that's all. "Others only wanted to teach her a small lesson—only I dared to go this far. Hahaha! Even if she doesn't die, she won't be able to live comfortably again. That bitch deserves nothing less than this fate."Logan had completely lost his mind. He was silent for a while, then suddenly lifted his

Bill's request was passed on to Fiona since Dexter had been staying by Angela's side for days and was completely oblivious to everything going on outside.After much thought, Fiona decided to personally bring Bill over. After all, he was Angela's father, and perhaps his presence might help her recovery.Bill, ever the actor, managed to put on a performance. When he saw Angela lying in bed, barely clinging to life, he even feigned a few tears and asked a lot of questions. But gradually, his tone began to shift."Dexter, a company can't be without a boss for even a day. With Angela in her current state, I can't help but worry. But the company still needs someone at the helm. How about… I bear the burden for a few days and manage in her stead?"Bill's face maintained just the right expression of pained sorrow as if he were terrified of revealing his true self."That won't be necessary," Fiona interjected before Dexter could speak. "Clara will temporarily take over Angela's duties at

When Angela heard the news, she couldn't help but worry. Graham Group had only just gotten back on track, and now she was dropping the ball at a critical moment. It was very irresponsible of her."Angela, do you have a death wish? You almost lost your life, and you're still thinking about that damn company?" Dexter suddenly snapped at her, as if he could see right through her thoughts. Ever since she had woken up a day ago, he had seemed annoyed with her. Although he attended to her every need, his words were always sharp.Sighing softly, Angela said nothing.After a moment of silence, she began to reflect on her mistakes."I will need to be more careful when handling things in the future. Logan seemed tactful on the surface, but who knew he would do something so extreme…" Angela coughed after speaking. That incident had nearly cost her life."It wasn't your fault." Dexter tore open a packet of medicine, poured the brown-gray powder into warm water, and stirred it with a straw.

Zack, Dexter, and Angela were so busy arguing that they forgot someone else was outside. It was none other than Elena.Angela's expression was indifferent, with just a polite enough smile. "Hello, Ms. Carrey."Elena set down the nutritional supplements in her hand. "I have something to tell you."She got straight to the point, without bothering to beat around the bush, as if she had something important to discuss.Angela raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when she noticed that Elena's expression had turned unusually serious. At that moment, it looked as though Elena expected her to kick the other two people out of the hospital room."Dexter, I'd like some grapes. Can you guys go buy some for me?" Angela said.Dexter's face darkened slightly as he looked at her with concern."What are you afraid of? There are security cameras everywhere." Angela waved her hand, dismissing the two."I really didn't expect Dexter to go that far for you. Angela, you nearly got him killed. You know

How could anyone do such a thing?Anyone would be mad seeing their chat history, and Angela was no exception."Can't you keep your brother in check, Angela?" Elena sneered with a mocking smile. "You might be all successful and impressive on the outside, but don't let him be the one sabotaging you behind the scenes and leaving you to clean up his mess afterward."With that, Elena grabbed her bag and left.Angela was left speechless. It was the first time she'd ever been put in her place by Elena. She felt utterly frustrated.She made a call and had Zack come back."Angie, we bought you eight different kinds of grapes—pick whichever you like!" Zack strutted in, hips swaying, and spoke in a deliberately shrill voice that grossed Angela out.Angela was instantly livid. She grabbed a pillow and hurled it at him. Zack twisted his waist to dodge before staring at her in shock."What's wrong, Angie? Did that ugly woman just get on your nerves? Calm down. You have to remember that you'r

Just as Angela had finished breakfast and was getting her IV drip started by the doctor, she heard the sound of high heels clicking in the hallway.The footsteps were hurried, clearly belonging to someone whose emotions were running high.To her surprise, it was Elena, and behind her was a young woman wearing sunglasses and a mask.Sensing something was off, Angela frowned."Ms. Carrey, why are you here uninvited again? Do you really think this hospital is your playground?" she said.Elena took a deep breath. "Angela, considering you're still recovering, I won't stoop to your level. Where's your brother? Tell him to come here!"Angela's expression darkened. "Should he come just because you say so? Who do you think you are?"She had always been willing to scold and even discipline her inept but protective brother herself. However, no one had the right to pick on him arbitrarily, especially not Elena."Angela, your brother hurt my cousin deeply. He must come and apologize!" Elena

Angela clenched her jaw, her every move radiating intense hostility with every move, embodying the wrath of a vengeful queen. Joel was briefly distracted before receiving a strong punch to the nose. The metallic scent of blood overwhelmed him as he collapsed to the ground.Angela was astonished by what she saw.Joel struggled to stand. His nose was bleeding, making it hard for him to breathe. He felt dizzy and lost his initial fighting spirit. On the other hand, Angela was incredibly strong, seemingly pushing beyond her limits in a frenzied state.Then, the two fought again, resulting in an unexpected draw. Angela realized she couldn't compete with Joel for long, so she put all her strength into each attack. She noticed that Joel's strength was diminishing as he bled.A few minutes later, the standoff ended when Angela knocked Joel down with a punch. As he rose, blood streamed from his nose, distorting his vision and leaving him unable to continue the fight. The team arriv

Angela had already humbled herself significantly. Despite Joel's consistent indifference, he found it increasingly difficult to dismiss her completely. After all, those who came here were far from ordinary. In the end, he agreed. He would just treat it as a game to see if she was anything like Bill. Angela and Joel soon found themselves on the ring. Angela felt honored and bowed to Joel. Despite secretly looking down on her, Joel maintained a gentlemanly demeanor and smiled.After that, it was time for a heated exchange. Joel sarcastically said, "I'll draw the line somewhere and do my best not to hurt you."Angela smiled with determination, replying, "I'll give it my all until I defeat you." Joel frowned, wondering what this arrogant woman was planning. The battle began quickly. Joel was obviously different from the other contestants Angela went up against. He toyed with her, effortlessly neutralizing her attacks and waiting for her next move, like a cat playing with a mo

Jorina launched a powerful uppercut at Angela, but the latter anticipated the attack and swiftly evaded it. Then, she lowered her stance and delivered a decisive strike to Jorina's abdomen.Her strength was astonishing as well. It was truly unexpected. With another powerful strike, she forced Jorina back a few paces, causing her to lose her balance and crash to the ground. The audience was left in shock. Meanwhile, a hint of a smile graced Dexter's lips, and admiration sparkled in his eyes.In the first match, Angela won effortlessly. The second and third matches followed, and once again, she secured victory easily.She was stunned. When her opponent was knocked out in the third match, she gazed at her fist in disbelief. She couldn't believe that she possessed such strength. It was utterly shocking.The audience buzzed with excitement, captivated by her presence. "Wow, she's incredible! Not only is she stunning, but she's also an amazing fighter!" "Isn't that Angela? It's so

Not only did the male contestants boast impressive muscles, but even the female participants also showcased clearly defined physiques and strength. It appeared that Angela's muscles fell short in comparison."Could you please pass me a towel?" a female contestant requested Angela politely.This female contestant was notably larger, with shoulders that were one and a half times wider than Angela's. When she stood up, her shadow completely covered Angela, making the latter look particularly thin. Yet, she seemed completely oblivious to anything amiss, or perhaps she simply chose not to care, even if she did notice."I'm sorry. But I'm a contestant too, so I don't know where the towel is."After saying that, Angela sensed the gaze of those around her. Some expressions were a mix of shock; others hinted at disdain, while most radiated contempt. Yet, she felt self-satisfied and unfazed by their reactions. Despite her petite stature, she was proud of her hard-earned muscles and confi

Nigel never expected Angela to be this determined—at the very least, her perseverance was commendable.By the time Dexter arrived, Angela was already battered and bruised. With clenched teeth, she desperately tried to fight back, but she was blocked time and time again. It was downright tragic to watch."Dexter, you have to talk some sense into her!" Fiona pleaded anxiously. Watching Angela get knocked down over and over again made her wince just from witnessing it.Dexter's face was dark with frustration. He stared intently at the bruised Angela on the training ground, unable to vent his anger and frustration.What right did he have to stop her? The more he tried to talk sense into her, the more stubborn she became, and the more she would deliberately go against him.She didn't even see herself as a woman anymore—she was acting like a lunatic."Why would I do that? Let her suffer." Dexter scoffed coldly, turning away.At first, everyone around Angela tried to dissuade her from

Yet, the way Nigel spoke was a bit strange and amusing.Feeling her blood boiling with excitement, Angela nearly laughed out loud. She barely managed to suppress it before nodding firmly. "Understood. I'll do my best not to disappoint you, coach."Her determination was unwavering. This wasn't just a fight for herself—it was another battle for Graham Group.She had to start strong, with full confidence, and give it her all to seize everything she wanted.Nigel looked at her with a complex expression, watching her for a long moment before a trace of hesitation flickered in his eyes."If you're really sure about this, then there's nothing more to say. You can start by fighting me."Angela immediately felt a chill run down her spine.She had learned everything she knew from Joanne, who had always praised her perseverance and rapid improvement. But that didn't mean she was ready to take on a state-level kickboxing coach!"What, got cold feet?" Nigel raised an eyebrow at her. "If y

"But this whole issue started because of Mr. Graham," Clara explained. "Apparently, he and Joel were love rivals in their youth, which made them particularly dislike each other."Their rivalry has lasted to this day. Even though Mr. Graham is no longer involved in company affairs, Joel still refuses to let us off."Angela was stunned. "Love rivals? Joel also liked Judy?"Clara shook her head fervently. "No, not her. I believe he liked Madam Marie."The moment those words left her mouth, Clara looked a bit uneasy, not daring to lift her head.Marie was no stranger—she was Angela's mother.Angela remained silent, flipping through the information Clara had compiled on Joel. Her gaze lingered on his picture. He was a man in his 50s who still had an air of refined elegance.Joel Crawford… Marie had never mentioned him, nor had she left behind any notes about him.Angela couldn't help but wonder whether Joel had gone against Bill all these years as a way to avenge Marie. It seemed

As Angela noticed Dexter's slightly tense face, an unexplainable thought arose in her mind.She could almost picture him awkwardly giving orders to Rocky, telling him to hire online commenters to stir up rumors about them.Rocky would probably think he had misheard and ask for confirmation, only to be scolded in a low voice before he scurried away with his tail between his legs.Clearing her throat, Angela asked casually, "Have you eaten?" Dexter didn't meet her gaze. "I have." Then, he quickly went upstairs."I genuinely think he has strong feelings for you. Are you really not going to consider being with him? It's not every day you come across a good man like him—even in a place like Eldmere City."Chuckling, Mia then added, "Besides, he's completely devoted to you. Imagine the prestige of being able to conquer a man like that!"Angela merely smiled noncommittally.The world truly didn't make sense. Since ancient times, men had always been the ones taught to pursue power,

"Can't you guys just ship them peacefully? Why do you have to compare and put others down? They're a real married couple, not some random lovebirds.""They are both gorgeous. I've never seen such a perfectly matched couple before. They need to be together forever!"What even was this?"You still don't know? You two have been trending online like crazy lately. For some reason, everyone thinks you two are a perfect match. There's even merchandise of you guys—can you believe that?"Mia came over to hang out with Angela and casually brought up the topic. The two women immediately started buzzing about it.Angela began to laugh so hard that the injury on her back got tugged, making her grimace in pain."Does no one care about how I got hurt? Why is everyone's focus on something so weird?" She gritted her teeth.The staff from the operations and logistics department told her that the chandelier had fallen purely by accident. Apparently, there had been ongoing renovations upstairs and
