Angela frowned and said, "Then go by yourself. I won't join you."It was absurd. She still had nightmares about the last incident and couldn't stomach the thought of dining with someone as abnormal as Trevor."Grandma's been unwell, and Grandpa wants everyone to show support. Just think of it as a casual meal," Dexter said, his tone softening.Angela sighed. "Nope.""A hundred-thousand-dollar reward," Dexter said, placing his hands on his hips and pacing the living room. He knew he had no choice but to dangle money in front of her again. Angela didn't refuse immediately. Instead, she replied, "Let me be clear—if Natalie or that fool steps out of line, I'm leaving. Immediately."Dexter's gaze was heavy with mixed emotions. After a pause, he nodded. The irony of their relationship wasn't lost on him—it felt like a business arrangement."By the way..." Angela hesitated, something clearly on her mind. "What?" Dexter prompted."Nothing.""You're holding back, and it's annoying.

The night breeze drifted lazily through the air, carrying the delicate, heady scent of blooming flowers. Trevor chose not to turn on the lights, letting the soft glow from the window bathe the room in a muted luminescence. Pulling out his phone, he began to watch the surveillance footage. The video showed the brief moments of his clash with Angela before Dexter's men subdued him and took her. He had kept this recording for days, the thought of erasing it never crossing his mind. Trevor had known of Dexter's existence since childhood. Dexter had always been exceptional, a benchmark his mother never failed to remind him of—stay driven and work hard to keep up with Dexter. Driven by this, Trevor had spent years observing Dexter in secret. He studied his every move, mimicked his actions, and analyzed his successes—all in the hope of one day surpassing him. Dexter was undeniably remarkable, a fact Trevor begrudgingly accepted.Recently, Trevor's observations had uncovered something

"Forget it. Let's eat. Our whole family is finally together, so let's embrace the joy of this moment," Natalie said with a forced smile as she sat down."Mom, why didn't you tell me sooner about having such an outstanding grandson? Cecilia and Lionel could've recognized him as a family earlier." Ursula smiled after noticing Natalie's expressions.Natalie beamed at Ursula's comment and remarked, "Trevor is indeed exceptional. Cecilia, he's your elder brother."Cecilia greeted him warmly, her politeness impeccable. Trevor, ever humble, engaged her with light jokes, creating an atmosphere of genuine harmony during their first interaction as siblings.But Ursula, ever the instigator, turned her attention to Angela. "Angela, why so quiet? Are you still upset? The past is behind us. We're family—shouldn't you be a little more understanding?"Angela met her gaze, calm but firm. "You didn't live through it, so you can't possibly understand the pain. If Trevor had pushed you to the brink o

"Angela, I'm truly sorry," Trevor said, bowing deeply. Then, without a word of warning, he spread his arms wide, leaned back, and let himself fall from the rooftop.The crowd was stunned into silence, and Natalie, overcome by the shock, fainted on the spot.Angela stood frozen, equally in disbelief. While others might have known about the safety air cushion below, few would have remained so calm. Trevor's actions were completely irrational, like a madman's reckless stunt.…In the ward, Trevor's vital signs had stabilized, and he slowly opened his eyes."Trevor, are you alright? How do you feel?" Natalie asked, her voice trembling as she wiped her tears and gently caressed his face. He didn't respond, his gaze shifting to the others around him.Angela took her place at the back of the room, knowing it was only a matter of time before he would call out to her. As expected, he did. "Angela."Trevor's voice was hoarse, his body weak, but a spark of hope was in his eyes."Have I

That day, the entire Bamford family gathered, and Mateo was invited to join via video call to witness the occasion in the Bamford Manor's memorial hall.Angela had never met Mateo before, but after seeing him on the video call, she couldn't help but find him handsome. Whispering to Dexter, she remarked, "Mateo is gentle and elegant—he has the air of a doctor."Dexter snorted. "You're spot on. He is a doctor, and a skilled surgeon at that. But don't get any ideas. He's cold and impossible to win over."Angela blinked, baffled by the unnecessary warning."Let's begin now that everyone's here. Angela, as Dexter's wife, you should be the first to pay your respects," Natalie ordered coldly. Irritated, Angela glanced at Joseph for support, but he merely sighed and gestured for her to comply. She felt trapped.Joseph had always been soft on Natalie, rarely challenging her demands. Now, he seemed powerless to intervene.Taking the flower offered by the butler, Angela felt the strong fr

Trevor seemed like a completely different person. Angela couldn't shake the feeling that his impeccable behavior was part of a larger conspiracy.Natalie wiped her tears and said, "Trevor, my poor grandson. You've found your family, but you can't truly be part of it. It breaks my heart to see you suffer outside."The atmosphere in the memorial hall was notably tense, with everyone casting varied glances at the two.After leaving the memorial hall, Angela eagerly asked Dexter how he had managed to make the photo frame fall and break without anyone noticing."Take a guess," Dexter replied, his smile smug and mysterious. Angela gave him a flat look. "Aren't you afraid that Great-Grandpa will haunt you for this?"Dexter chuckled and stopped walking. "Haunt me? Please. I'm so impressive that he'd probably be too busy admiring me to hold a grudge." Angela rolled her eyes, irritated by his boundless narcissism.Dexter finally explained, "I had someone break the fake photo frame befo

Angela assumed it was Finn at the door—he had mentioned wanting to come over for a barbecue. Instead, the household staff returned with someone she least wanted to see. "Why are you here? You're not welcome. Get out!" Angela's fury ignited the moment she saw him approach. Her expression turned icy, and if not for the presence of others, she might have resorted to more than just words. "Angela, relax. I'm only here to deliver gifts from Grandpa and Grandma," Trevor said, his arms laden with bags of luxury fruits and supplements."I don't want them. Leave now. Don't make me repeat myself!" Angela snapped, rising to her feet as though prepared to throw him out herself. "Angela, I've apologized already," Trevor said, feigning remorse. "I just got discharged today, and I'm still not feeling well. Do you really want to push me away like this?"Angela felt her temper flare. She couldn't believe how much he had changed—or perhaps how much more shameless he'd become."I'm sorry for wha

Dexter cast a cold, condescending glance at Trevor, his gaze radiating the icy cruelty of someone who held unquestionable superiority. "I know exactly what you're plotting, and I suggest you abandon those filthy thoughts."His voice was low and magnetic, but it carried an undeniable undercurrent of menace.Trevor smirked provocatively. "Dexter, what could I possibly have in mind? I only want to help Angela relax and make sure she gets her belongings back quickly."Blood streaked his face, and his smile twisted into something disturbingly off-kilter. Angela, catching sight of him, felt her fury flare into a blaze.Helpless and exasperated, she turned to Dexter. "Please, just get rid of him. I'll waive your room fee for an entire week."Trevor's eyes sparkled at her words. It was as though he'd stumbled upon a hidden truth. The dynamic between Angela and Dexter was far less harmonious than the rumors suggested. How intriguing.When Angela stepped into the room moments later, Trevor

A middle-aged man stood with his back to her, holding a glass in one hand while his other hand reached toward the black stockings of a female employee's skirt. Sensing something, the female employee spun around abruptly. The glass shook in her hand, spilling hot water over the man. He yelped in pain, stumbling backward, barely managing to keep his balance. "Hey! What are you doing? Are you trying to burn me?" the man yelled, his indignation flaring.Angela stood at the door, her gaze fixed on the man. She recognized him instantly. It was Hector Zander, a friend of Nora's, visiting the Graham Group for potential collaborations. Rumor had it that he was interested in launching a major project. The woman nearly harassed was none other than Yvonne, Angela's new assistant."You were clearly about to touch me. How dare you—" Yvonne started, her voice shaky."What nonsense are you saying? Don't slander me! When have I ever laid a finger on you?" Hector shot back, interrupting Yvonne.

Hector appeared both righteous and stern, creating an impression that Angela was merely trying to frame him. This situation quickly caught Bill's attention. "Mr. Zander, please don't be upset. Angela was just unreasonable and misunderstood you. May I offer you an apology on her behalf?" Bill stammered, hastily offering an apology without fully understanding the situation. His spinelessness was evident; a man like him could never lead the company without it eventually crumbling."Isn't there a surveillance camera in the pantry? We could check that to clarify things," Angela suddenly recalled. "Go ahead. If you find the proof, both Mr. Zander and I will apologize. But, Angela, what will you do if you can't find anything?" Nora interjected smoothly, exchanging a knowing glance with Hector. Their silent understanding made Angela instinctively suspect their collusion. Perhaps the footage had already been deleted, but that didn't matter now."Just wait!" Angela snapped, pulling Yvonn
