"What is the PR department doing? How are they this oblivious? If Audrey Hebert can't even handle this, I might as well find someone else who can!"Gritting her teeth, Angela demanded that the PR department suppress the news within an hour.Dexter turned to glance at her. "Don't be mad. Being angry is bad for your health.""That damn idiot! He finally calmed down for a while, and now he's acting up again. I really can't deal with this. Of all the things he could do, he just has to mess around with those people and get himself into such a huge mess. He's absolutely insane! Why doesn't he just—""Calm down." With a helpless sigh, Dexter handed her a bottle of water.Angela took a deep breath before exhaling hard. "I can't calm down."She really couldn't. She felt that all the time she had spent trying to change Zack for the better had amounted to nothing. He was still as reckless and dumb as ever!"A great leader stays composed in the face of adversity. Besides, there's a real cha

"What?" Angela lowered her head, carefully chewing over Dexter's words, yet something still felt off. Was it really just a coincidence?Was Zack really this unlucky? A friend invited Zack out, and a random guy just joined the party. By pure chance, someone just happened to be doing something shady, and Zack just so happened to get caught up in it?"Is there a possibility that this was a deliberate cover-up?" Angela pondered for a moment before looking up at Dexter.Right then, Dexter's expression was particularly serious when he said, "No. I looked into his movements over the past two days."Other than going between the store and home, the only time he went anywhere else was to a supermarket near the store to buy two ice creams. After work, he went straight home to play games as usual. There was nothing suspicious about his behavior."Angela frowned deeply. "Have you found the friend who tempted him to go drinking?""His name is Dylan Burch. He's being brought here right now. He

Angela was momentarily at a loss for words.She pressed her lips together. After a brief moment of silence, she said, "I can only do my best to ensure you suffer as little as possible."Her words turned out to be prophetic.Because of Angela's prior instructions, the PR department of Graham Group handled the matter with sincerity and transparency. They promptly announced an investigation and assured the public that there would be a proper explanation for what happened.As a result, the pressure from public opinion shifted to the police, prompting the Eldmere City Police Department to immediately send officers to investigate.Angela was present at the time. Phil Leach, an officer from the police department, presented his credentials, stated his purpose, and then explained the situation to Angela.With no other choice, Angela handed over Zack's blood test report, proving the claim was true.Phil was a serious man. He carefully examined the report multiple times in silence before c

"It's no trouble at all." Pressing his lips together, Phil extended his hand. "Thank you both for your cooperation. We'll send him back as soon as possible."Angela hurriedly reached out with both hands to shake his. "That would be much appreciated."News of Zack being taken away by the police quickly spread online. Public opinion was divided, but most people criticized Angela for failing to guide him properly, blaming her for allowing such a terrible situation to happen.Angela sat on the couch in silence, staring at her tablet. She felt as if she were suffocating and a heavy cloud had settled over her."Have some tea." Dexter, looking almost like a devoted housewife, walked over with an apron tied around his waist and handed her a cup of peppermint tea. He had brewed it himself."I don't feel like drinking anything." Closing her eyes, Angela leaned back against the couch. Recalling everything that had happened recently only made her feel utterly exhausted.Dexter didn't insist

"Do we really need to beat around the bush with each other? Just give it to me straight—I can handle it." Angela propped her chin up with one hand as she felt a dull ache at the back of her head. She had no idea what was causing it."The message board on our company's official website is flooded with demands for an apology, saying we owe consumers an explanation. So… this…" Clara trailed off. She looked troubled as she glanced at her tablet, hesitating whether to hand it over.Angela took it from her and skimmed through the comments. Clara had actually downplayed the situation.The messages were overwhelmingly unified—everyone was calling Angela out, demanding a public statement. Some even threatened to boycott all products under Graham Group unless she provided a proper explanation. They even said they would drive Angela to bankruptcy if she didn't."Ms. Graham, we don't actually need to take these comments too seriously. Those commenters are just venting." Clara tried to reassure

On the way there, Angela remained lost in thought, not saying a single word.Both she and Dexter had never been inside a place like this before. Even just standing outside, they could feel the cold, heavy atmosphere surrounding the building.A staff member led them to a visiting room where Zack was already waiting. The moment he saw Angela, his expression darkened. Clearly, he was still mad."Why are you here? I don't want to see someone as heartless as you." Zack huffed, his eyes instantly turning red and filled with grievance.Angela felt her heart clench as a sharp sting spread through her nose."How are you feeling? They're not as scary as you imagined, right?" Dexter asked gently, which was rare coming from him.Zack pouted but nodded begrudgingly. "You must've pulled some strings for me. They gave me a private space, so I haven't had to deal with anyone else. The doctors have been nice too, but seriously, acupuncture as treatment? That's too much!"By the time he finished,

Dexter walked out of the visiting room, his expression looking fairly good."Well? What did he tell you?" Angela stepped forward eagerly, her eyes filled with anticipation."There's a new lead. You don't need to worry about it, though." Dexter patted her shoulder, only then noticing that her complexion wasn't great. She looked a little pale.She had been running around constantly these past few days, barely getting any rest."Go home and rest. By the time you wake up, I'll have found the person responsible. All you need to do is decide how to deal with them," Dexter said.Angela looked surprised. "Zack gave you a lead? What could he possibly know from inside this place?""Someone came to see him today, trying to turn him against you. That's why he called us," Dexter explained briefly.Angela's eyes grew wide. She was able to understand a few important things from just those short sentences.First, the mastermind behind all this was growing impatient. Soon, they would reveal the

"That's right. I simply wanted to get back at you, but with how thick-skinned you are, ordinary tricks don't work on you. So I had to target your weakness instead. And as it turned out, it worked well—just look at you now, Angela. You're finally losing your composure, aren't you?" Elena rambled on.This woman was absolutely insane!"And how much better off are you? Who was it that dragged you out of your hiding place? Who brought you here? Isn't it the very man you've spent years trying to impress?" Angela sneered, gritting her teeth.Elena's expression darkened instantly.Right then, she felt a suffocating weight settling on her chest. An inexplicable bitterness gnawed at her insides, making her feel unbearably miserable."As expected, you really are a shameless bitch. You claim to have no interest in Dexter, yet you're constantly using him. You truly have no shame!"Elena's gaze was so sharp it seemed like a cold blade ready to slice Angela's heart out."You want to know why I

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

Everyone remained silent, staring straight at the person in the center of the stage.As if nothing had happened before, Angela calmly took the trophy from the event hostess, maintaining her smile and handing it to each award recipient in an orderly manner.Clara, one of the outstanding employees, stood at the front of the line. The moment she received the award from Angela, she could no longer hold back. Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down uncontrollably."Does… does it hurt?" Her voice was choked with emotion, heartache evident in every word.Curving her lips into a reassuring smile, Angela wiped away Clara's tears. "I'm fine. Don't worry."Then, she continued presenting the awards to the rest of the employees. All ten employees looked at her with admiration.Meanwhile, the livestream chat was going wild."Oh my god, this woman is incredible! Wasn't she the one who got hurt earlier? How is she so strong when she looks so delicate?""I swear I saw a huge gash on her b
