All Chapters of Love and Devotion: No Longer His to Claim: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Bill's face was already marked with several bloody scratches that were shocking to look at. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was practically bald now—he was on the verge of losing his mind."You still won't admit it? If not you, then who else? Who else would bother to abduct a single mother and her child? You vile woman! What was I even thinking when I married you?" Bill gritted his teeth, cursing furiously, as though he wanted to rip Judy's mouth apart with his bare hands.Zack, their "love child," stood helplessly in the middle. If he blocked one, the other would hit him, and if he stopped the other, the first would kick him. It was pure agony."Can you two just stop? Dad, shouldn't you be figuring out how to find them? Hitting Mom isn't going to help!"Zack sighed helplessly, rubbing his temples, then turned to Judy. "Mom, as for you—you still need to depend on him financially in the future. If you tick him off, we'll be the ones who end up as the single mother and fatherless chi

Through gritted teeth, Bill said, "I confronted that vicious woman and questioned her whether or not she abducted Linda and her daughter, but she denied it completely! How utterly despicable! And now, she even poisoned me to try to kill me. That woman is just…"He coughed violently, unable to finish his words.Angela froze, instinctively glancing at Dexter. So, that was the reason.Dexter, equally stunned, realized he had inadvertently become the trigger for the couple's fallout. However, he had no intention of apologizing or explaining himself."So, what do you plan to do now?" Angela asked calmly, her tone betraying no emotion.The pale Bill replied weakly, "Of course, get me the antidote and save my life first. Everything else can wait.""I can get someone to neutralize the poison, but you have to agree to one condition—give her another 10% of the shares," Dexter said coolly.Bill felt like he could cough up blood from rage at this point. Once again, they were making outrageo

Unfortunately for Judy, Bill spat at her before she could finish speaking.The spit landed squarely on her face, leaving her stunned and her cheeks burning hot. When she realized it was saliva, the revulsion nearly drove her insane."Go… Get out!" Bill roared, his voice hoarse from rage. He was utterly infuriated. These people were already ready to tear him apart when he wasn't even dead yet.He wasn't some rotting carcass, yet they were acting like a flock of damned vultures!"What's with your attitude? Don't forget—your life is in my hands. If you don't want to cooperate, fine, go rot in your grave!" Judy sneered, any lingering feelings she might've had for Bill now entirely gone."Mom, what are you shouting for? You haven't even asked me about the current situation. Dad's already been detoxed—thanks to my brother-in-law! You really are being too much right now." Zack finally spoke up from outside, unable to listen any longer."What?" Judy froze, her body stiffening as she turn

"Were you thinking about something? Your expression is hilarious!" Angela couldn't stop laughing.Finn finally walked over, saw the photo, and couldn't help but smile wryly. "This will do. It's fine like this."Angela's smile was especially radiant in the photo, reminding him of how she looked in his childhood memories.As they walked out of the photography studio, Finn kept staring at the picture as if he couldn't get enough of it.Angela was a little exasperated. "What now? Should we head to the pedestrian street for a walk?"Finn agreed, and after their stroll, they made plans to go hiking together over the weekend.On her way home, Angela bought food for Fiona."I'm back," Angela called out, pushing the door open with one hand. She assumed Fiona or Dexter would be there, but to her dismay, the only people in the living room were the two people she absolutely didn't want to see—Natalie and Trevor."Grandma." Angela set down her things before politely asking, "What brings you

Joseph also asked, "Angela, what exactly happened?""Grandpa, Aunt Ursula, I am to blame. This is all my fault." Trevor came out of the hospital room, looking like he was ready to accept all blame.It was genuinely disgusting."If you must blame someone, blame me. This has nothing to do with Angela," Trevor added, giving Angela a meaningful look.Angela could no longer tolerate it. "Yes. It is all your fault. Who told you to stir up trouble? Grandma and I used to have a great relationship. If it weren't for you, how could she have hit me to the point that I look like this? You're the jinx!"She had so much frustration bottled up that she couldn't hold it in anymore.Trevor was just too disgusting.Everyone soon noticed her face.Even Ursula froze for a moment and said nothing else."Angie, tell me what happened." Joseph gestured for Angela to come closer.His voice was as gentle as always. He was always patient with Angela and would side with her.Angela suddenly teared up,
