Chapter 101

"How do you know that?" Angela was so stunned that she forgot to speak politely.Fiona's face fell even further, and her breathing became unsteady. "You... you really got divorced and didn't tell me!"Angela wished she could slap herself a few times.She was done for. She had slipped up without thinking, and now she wasn't sure if it counted as leaking the terms of the agreement.It probably didn't. After all, Fiona could be considered one of their own."Well... Madam Fiona, please calm down. There's still a chance we can smooth things over. If you keep quiet, it won't affect Dexter in any way," Angela said cautiously, worried Fiona would explode on the spot."Give me your agreement right now!" Fiona's voice was cold and sharp, each word striking like thunder.Angela felt helpless. "I can't. It's with Dexter.""Fine, fine. No wonder you've been acting so boldly lately. Without that marriage certificate holding you back, you've really set yourself free. Both of you are way out o

Chapter 102

Those who didn't make it were also occupied. Some were researching about the trip to Bellador, while others quietly watched videos or took classes. None of them paid any attention to division two."They're really treating this matter too lightly. They're not taking us seriously at all!""Exactly. They act like they've already won. They must think they're so amazing.""They are amazing. They went to that Bamford Co. training. We can't compare to that."...Their chatter grew louder as if they were trying to provoke division one.Angela could hear them through her headphones, but she just ignored them.Soon, Callum arrived with his assistant, holding a stack of design submissions.Everyone's hopes rose at once."Please put aside what you're doing. We have the voting results," Callum said with a warm smile and a gentle demeanor.Angela lifted her head, feeling a little nervous."First place has 65 votes," Callum announced with a note of approval in his voice.That entry appear

Chapter 103

If it had been someone from division two, they would have leapt up in excitement by now."These three look great too. Whose are they?" Callum asked.Alan, Allison, and Mark stood up.They sat in a row. Alan and Mark were tall, making Allison look especially petite between them.Division two was dumbfounded.How could this be possible?Out of ten winning designs, division one had eight. It was a total shutdown.That made no sense."Didn't Ms. Graham also compete? Why haven't we seen her work? Don't tell me it didn't make the list," someone in division two piped up.It was a young woman in the back row, one of Nora's old followers.Others joined in."Right. Ms. Graham has trained such an impressive team, so she must be pretty great herself. Why didn't her design make the list?""You people have no right to badmouth Ms. Graham," Alan growled, suddenly standing up and glaring at the division two crowd.Clara said coldly, "All of us were trained by Ms. Graham. Our victory is he

Chapter 104

Meanwhile, division one was in an unusually good mood. Everyone let out their excitement the moment the door closed. They hugged one another and celebrated in all sorts of ways.Before they had gone into the conference room, Angela had reminded them to stay calm no matter the result. She had told them not to reveal their emotions and risk looking foolish.In the past, they had always been laughed at, but today they had finally turned the tables and were able to hold their heads high.They were making a ruckus in the large office outside, but Angela didn't bother to stop them.She felt great all day. After finishing her work and clocking out, she planned to head out for a stroll. She would be leaving for Bellador the day after tomorrow and wouldn't be back for at least a week.Right after she carried a bunch of things home, Angela received a call from an unknown number.It was Nick Campbell, one of Dexter's childhood friends."Angela, Dexter's had too much to drink. Can you come

Chapter 105

Feeling completely baffled, everyone watched Angela leave decisively.What was going on? Did they see it wrong? Was this really Angela? She seemed like a completely different person now."Dexter, don't be mad. Angela might really have something to take care of. It's fine. I'll take you home later. I know where you live," Elena said softly.The others exchanged glances, each understanding the unspoken meaning.Suddenly, Dexter stood up like he had sobered up. He ignored everyone who tried to stop him and walked out."I just parked for a moment. I came in to pick someone up. Can't you make an exception, officer?"Angela was at the entrance, pleading with a traffic police officer. But she still got a hundred-dollar fine.She felt resentful. It was all Dexter's fault!She opened the car door and climbed in, ready to start the engine.Just then, someone banged on her window.Angela turned and saw Dexter's brooding face, his eyes fixed on her intently.Hadn't he refused to leave?

Angela turned around, dropping the scarf and gloves in her hands."Hey, don't you accuse me of that! It slipped out by accident. Your mom was already suspicious and tricked me into confirming it. I didn't do it on purpose."She's your mom. She wouldn't spread it around and damage your reputation. You lost nothing, so don't try to pin any blame on me. I won't let you use this as a reason to make our agreement void!"Her expression changed noticeably. She stared straight at him, eyes blazing with both fury and fear. Yet she refused to back down.Dexter watched her in silence. The light in his eyes dimmed little by little.Was she really that anxious? Was she afraid he wouldn't let her go?"Then why did you tell my mom to set me up with someone?" he asked through gritted teeth, his voice forced out from deep in his chest, each word dripping with anger.Before Angela could reply, there was a sudden noise from the guest room.Angela forgot all about explaining and hurried over. She

Chapter 107

With just one hand, Dexter pinned both of Angela's hands above her head. She had no choice but to look up at him.At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and she caught a glimpse of her own panic-stricken reflection in his eyes.A wave of humiliation crashed over her, and tears welled up in her eyes. Yet, she still gritted her teeth and glared at him in silence.Dexter paused in the middle of tugging at her clothes.For a moment, it felt like a heavy weight had pressed against his chest, making it hard to breathe.While he hesitated, Angela pushed her foot and kicked his thigh. She broke free from his grasp and darted away.Then, she ran upstairs and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.Dexter snapped out of his daze, but the image of her teary eyes remained seared into his mind.She was no longer the weak and submissive woman she used to be. Now, she was stubborn and unyielding, ready to stand her ground against him. It was strange.Dexter lay back on the couch, staring up

Chapter 108

Fiona had work to do and couldn't take care of Dexter every day.Just then, Dexter's new assistant, Noah Perry, walked over and said, "Mr. Bamford, we got an invitation to Duke Steven's wedding in Montivale two weeks ago, but we still haven't replied."Dexter gave Noah a surprised glance. The assistant kept his head down in a respectful posture."When is it?" Dexter cleared his throat, his expression still sour. "I'm too busy to attend that playboy's wedding.""It's three days from now," Noah answered with a slight smile. "He also said if you don't attend, he'll give that project to DawnStar instead of us."Dexter took longer strides and fell silent, deep in thought.Moments later, he ordered, "Book me a ticker for a flight tomorrow.""Pardon me, Mr. Bamford. Tomorrow's flights are sold out. The only seat left is on the last flight tonight," Noah replied.Dexter paused for a moment.Noah quickly lowered his head, pretending nothing happened."Fine, I'll make do," Dexter said,

Chapter 109

Angela patted Clara's hand, then turned to the group. "Do you guys like it here?"They all glanced around. Even those who didn't know the backstory sensed something was off, but they couldn't hide their excitement.In all honesty, the place was excellent. It was on the first floor, with easy access to restaurants and transportation. It was quiet and perfect for them to rest or go out to get inspiration."Then let's stay. Get settled in and rest. We'll go out for dinner together tonight," Angela said with a smile.Only a fool would pass up a good deal. Since Dexter was paying, she'd let him spend. It would be even better if it made him broke."Hooray!" They cheered in unison.Trent distributed everyone's room keys but held onto Angela's for a moment."Ms. Graham, please come with me," he said, still wearing his polite smile.Angela felt wary. "My room isn't here?"Trent kept smiling. "You need special security arrangements. Please follow me."Her room wasn't far from the other

"Besides, you remember what Stephen promised us. If we take Angela down, I'll become head of division one. After that, we won't have to worry about a better future," Zion said in an icy voice. His demeanor now was worlds apart from his usual polite one. In the dark, his eyes gleamed with a cold light."Flora, you had a chance to deal with Alan earlier today, but you missed it. He's our biggest threat. We can't let him—""That's enough." Flora looked away.She wore a ring that had something hidden inside. If she pricked someone with it, the person would be poisoned in a way that caused dizziness and mental confusion for a few days. It wasn't lethal, but it would be enough to keep them from performing their best in the competition.Their mission was to sabotage the other eight designers so that none of them could compete properly.Yet earlier, when Alan tried to help her, Flora couldn't bring herself to go through with it. She was starting to question if it was worth sacrificing t
