"Angela, I went to the mall to buy some things and saw a dress that would suit you, so I got it for you. And these snacks—they're all your favorites…"Fiona was completely unaware of the tense atmosphere in the hospital room.She kept pulling things out of her bag—there was a whole large bag for Angela, but almost nothing for Dexter."Uh… Madam Fiona, aren't you here to visit the patient?" Angela shot Fiona a look, signaling her to comfort Dexter, but the latter didn't catch on at all."He doesn't need anything. Here, this handbag would also look great on you—""Get out." Dexter finally lost his patience. His voice was cold and laced with unspeakable frustration and helplessness.Angela quickly ushered Fiona out of the room and explained the situation."Jeez, you're really something else! Did you do that on purpose?" Fiona eyed her suspiciously.Angela put a hand up. "I swear I had no malicious intent. Maybe we really are just extremely incompatible."For the next few days, An

Angela immediately saw through Harvey's insinuation but didn't rush to defend herself.Instead, she maintained her composure and said calmly, "To be honest, before taking over as CEO of Graham Group, I'd already worked in its design department for some time as an observer from DawnStar Co."During that time, I saw all of Graham Group's shortcomings and had various discussions with my father, Mr. Bill Graham. Many of my decisions were made after consulting him—of course, some of them were also my own ideas. Mr. Collins, I have always believed in one thing—the student surpassing the teacher."It was clear that others had no real understanding of what she had done or not done. As such, she only needed to make her stance clear.At the very least, this kind of business partner had their own guiding principles.The doubt in Harvey's eyes gradually faded as he looked at her, even showing a trace of admiration.Angela let out a subtle sigh of relief—it looked like her strategy had worked

"Security, remove him," Angela ordered indifferently. "Take him directly to the police station."The dumbfounded Sean stepped back in disbelief, but he was still surrounded and forcibly taken away by the security personnel."Angela! Angela, you wretched woman! If Graham Group remains in your hands, it will be ruined by tomorrow! You'll die a miserable death!"His screams were quickly silenced as someone covered his filthy mouth.The entire spectacle lasted less than five minutes. Throughout the ordeal, Angela maintained a perfect smile—calm, composed, and utterly unfazed."You're truly decisive in action, Ms. Graham. I have learned something from you today," Harvey said with a smile as if he had just enjoyed a rare and spectacular show.Angela remained especially humble. "What I can do doesn't even come close to what you can, Mr. Collins. I am the one who still has much to learn from you."With that, their meeting came to an end.As soon as Harvey left, Angela headed straight f

"My dad's assistant told me." Sean closed his eyes, not daring to look at the person in front of him anymore.He felt a deep sense of fear—Angela was just too terrifying.A few minutes later, Andrew was brought in.He had anticipated that Angela would make a move, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.He had indeed orchestrated today's incident—he wanted Angela to lose Harvey's trust so that he could continue to pressure her and make it impossible for her to hold her ground in the company.That way, Graham Group would still be under his control.What he didn't expect was the complete lack of commotion outside."Ms. Graham, what is the meaning of this?" Andrew stepped into the security office, immediately spotting Sean detained on the couch, looking nervous and fearful."Dad, this woman almost killed me just now!" Angela sat calmly on the couch, looking unbothered.Andrew, however, was furious. "Angela, what did you do? What gives you the right to treat Sean like th

Andrew's face darkened even more. He took two steps back, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.Angela continued, "Let me be honest with you. If you had simply stayed in your lane as COO and done your job without making mistakes or causing trouble, I would have tolerated you."I might have even ensured that the company supported you in your retirement. Alas, why couldn't you just do so? Why must you insist on opposing me and forcing my hand?"Angela sighed softly. "Now that everything has been laid out on the table, you should understand where my resolve is coming from. So, I'll give you two choices."One—you voluntarily leave the headquarters and take a cushy position at one of Graham Group's subsidiaries for your retirement. Two—you can continue to oppose me, and I'll send Sean straight to the police.""You insolent brat!" Andrew roared, humiliated and furious. "You're just a young woman—do you really think you're all that? How dare you challenge me?""Haven't you already seen f

"That has nothing to do with me." Angela remained indifferent. "Dexter is free to do whatever he wants."She genuinely believed that avoiding unnecessary interactions with certain people would save her energy and prevent her from getting emotionally drained.Angela waited in the hospital lobby for nearly ten minutes, but when Dexter still didn't appear, she decided to head home.Spending the past two days at the hospital had indeed been exhausting. Now that Elena and Dexter could comfort each other, there was no need for her to linger around.Besides, there was a chance that her presence would ruin things for them. She knew better than to do what she shouldn't.Unexpectedly, she had barely sat down at home when Dexter called."Why didn't you come to the hospital?" he questioned. His voice was cold, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.Angela shrugged. "I did, but when I heard that Ms. Carrey was with you, I decided not to disturb you. I even brought you some ravioli, but si

Dexter left the hospital and headed straight for Villa Heights.Meanwhile, Angela was having a relaxing evening in the living room. She was soaking her feet and watching a movie with a face mask on. Beside her was a cup of herbal tea. She was completely at ease.This was the life she had always dreamed of—work during the day, rest at night, and enjoy every moment."You seem to be having a relaxing time." Dexter's voice suddenly rang out, startling Angela."Why are you back? Didn't the doctor say you shouldn't move around for a week?" She sat bolt upright, half of her face mask slipping off.Dexter scoffed and sat down on the couch. "There's no one there to take care of me. Am I supposed to just sit there and wait for my death?"Angela was speechless.What the heck? Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed? What was his deal?She quickly removed her face mask and got up. "How are you feeling then? A-aren't you being too—"Before she could finish, Dexter shot her a sharp, icy

"Bribery? So you bought them off? I don't think that would work. They'll probably just mock you behind your back." Dexter sounded a bit concerned."No, no." Angela continued, "Each of them was given a different gift."Dexter looked a little shocked for a moment, then a glimmer of admiration showed in his eyes—though he quickly masked it. "Explain."Angela crossed her arms, looking triumphant as if she had the whole world in her grasp. "Francis is obsessed with collecting antique artwork, so I sent him an antique painting that Bill had bought at an overseas auction years ago."He was suspicious of my intentions, but he couldn't resist the allure of the artwork and ended up accepting it, albeit hesitantly. "As for Dale, he's a simple brute. He's not particularly capable but is obsessed with money. He's also as stingy as they come. So, I gifted him a black card that had a million dollars on it. The one Grandma gave me back then was—""What?" Dexter was stunned. "That card is one

"Yeah, Pete! How could you do this to us?" Francis reproached him with knitted brows.Outwardly, he was backing Andrew up, but on the inside, he was filled with doubts.He hadn't expected Angela to send gifts not just to him, but to Pete as well. He believed Angela must be desperate, resorting to such a foolish strategy as buying them off.However…Francis stroked his chin. That painting was exquisite—so much so that he couldn't stop admiring it. He had already hidden it away at home, reluctant to let anyone else lay eyes on it."Uncle Andrew, I just want to gain some experience away from headquarters. Don't worry, even if I go to the subsidiary, I would never betray you. Angela wants you to move to a subsidiary too, right? That way—""You're an absolute fool!" Andrew interrupted Pete with a cold sneer. "Can't you see this is clearly a ploy to weaken you? Once you leave for the subsidiary, there's no telling if you'll ever return. By the time she dismantles everything you've pa

Just then, Angela's phone rang unexpectedly. It kept ringing repeatedly. Zack was calling her. He would never come to her without a reason. If he was this anxious, something serious must have happened."Angie, come out now. I'm in your office."Angela rushed to her office, where Zack was already on his feet to greet her. "Angie, Dad suddenly vomited blood. I got someone to take him to emergency care. You need to come with me. I think it's really bad this time."Angela put down her bag and asked as she hurriedly followed Zack outside, "What happened?" His brows were furrowed tightly. "I don't know either. Oh, right—earlier today, I went to visit him. He asked how things were going, and I told him you were doing great. I even praised you like crazy, telling him how you've turned the company around with your leadership skills and landed a huge deal—""Stop right there." Angela was at a loss. "Are you really not aware that he has a problem with me? What is wrong with your brain? Di
