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

"Hey, where do you think you're going? I'm not going to devour you!" Amber seemed to have transformed into a super-powered woman, running at lightning speed. As she slightly quickened her pace, she managed to grab a fistful of Zack's dyed blond hair, which had just started to fade.With a strong yank, Zack was thrown backward, landing on his butt with a heavy thud."You dare run from me? Let's see you run now!" Amber flipped over and straddled Zack, holding both of his wrists tightly.Angela's face twisted in confusion as she widened her eyes, trying to see more clearly.She'd never seen Zack taken down like this before. Amber was way more formidable in a fight than she was."Is it entertaining?" Dexter, who had returned, looked at her helplessly. "Your little brother is getting beaten up, and you're not going to step in?""Dexter, Zack was dating my cousin, but he ended up hurting her. My cousin is such a wonderful person. I really feel sorry for her."At this moment, Elena's c

Angela was shocked. Her mind went blank for several seconds, and all she could hear was a discordant hum of static.It was terrifying—ever since she had fallen into the water, her hearing hadn't been working properly."What?" Dexter asked in a cold, measured tone. "What baby?"He immediately reached out to hold Angela, afraid that the shock might cause her further harm.Amber sobbed incoherently, her tears tugging at one's heart. "We… We had done it before… And we didn't…""Shut your mouth!" Zack shouted, his face ashen and his voice trembling uncontrollably. "I was so drunk that night that I could barely stand. How could anything have happened?"That incident had occurred two months ago at a birthday party in their mutual circle. Both of them had attended, and the alcohol that night had been unusually strong.Zack had only had three drinks before he'd started feeling dizzy, and his buddies had mocked him for his poor tolerance.Thereafter, a waiter had helped him into a hotel

"Elena, I'm scared. What if things don't go as we planned? I'm really afraid…"The moment Amber got into the car, her fear immediately showed on her face. Her shoulders shook, and her face was ghostly pale as if she was tormented by inner demons."What are you afraid of? What's done is done, and what was meant to happen has happened. If you like him, then just pursue him," Elena said coldly as she drove, her tone hinting at impatience.If only Elena had known Amber was so timid, she'd never have chosen the latter.Amber's face fell. "B-but…""No buts." Elena suppressed her growing frustration before continuing slowly, "Amber, your performance over these next two days will determine whether she can secure her position. You got that?"The color drained from Amber's face completely. She understood exactly what Elena meant.When they had planned this from the start, that had been the exact arrangement. But now that things had unfolded this way, she suddenly felt extremely uneasy, as

There had to be something fishy going on.Even Dexter couldn't find Sally for now. Just how far was the mastermind willing to go to make Amber Zack's problem?The helpless Zack figured that more help meant better odds of finding Sally, so he told Finn about it the second the latter arrived to ask Angela out for a meal.Finn immediately went to Callum, and the two of them teamed up to help Dexter search for Sally.But just then, someone leaked the matter online, and it started to spread. In just a few hours, it dominated the trending searches.Before long, the topic of Zack sexually assaulting a female college student became the hottest news among major media outlets.Angela never expected something like this to happen. She scrolled through the trending topics, reading the gossip, and almost fainted from rage."Angela? Isn't she supposed to be amazing? Was it her guidance that led her brother to be like this? How embarrassing!""That poor college student! For her to be toyed wit

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.

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.

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
