All Chapters of Love and Devotion: No Longer His to Claim: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

All Zack did was pull out his phone as quickly as he could. "Let me take some pictures first to commemorate this."He was undoubtedly bold beyond measure. But then again, as Angela's younger brother and Dexter's brother-in-law, he had every reason to be."Don't just stand there like fools! It's his birthday today—he won't come after us for this. If we don't take pictures now, we'll regret it later!" Zack had already snapped over a dozen shots and was still unsatisfied, so he urged everyone else to join in.Everyone quickly took out their phones and started taking photos and videos.Right now, the unfortunate Dexter and Angela were at a loss for words.Seriously? They were already in a miserable state, and now they were being laughed at, too?"Zack, you little punk! Just you wait!" Angela, supported by Dexter, struggled to stand up. She grabbed a massive lump of frosting and hurled it at Zack.As Zack couldn't dodge in time, he took it straight to the face. His once-handsome face

Clara's expression was equally grim. "He's indeed behind this, Ms. Graham. The thing is, that pregnant woman has some sort of relationship with him."Angela sucked in a sharp breath. She felt numb. Lately, it seemed like she was plagued by bad luck—it was just one crisis after another."What kind of relationship?" Angela paused before asking, though she had already guessed the answer.Clara pressed her lips together, her expression complicated. "That pregnant woman… It's rumored that the baby is his, so…""So, in order to cover it up, he deliberately fired her, leaving her with no options, which caused this whole mess to blow up?" Angela let out a cold laugh.Clara nodded helplessly, choosing silence as her answer.Angela didn't say much more as she took out her phone.The situation was escalating at an alarming speed, spreading like wildfire across major media platforms. Most notably, the pregnant woman, Rosanne Townsend, had gone live online to expose the incident.Even thoug

Logan looked shocked. "Ms. Graham, isn't this something you should handle for me? I've been the head of the HR department at our company for years. If my reputation is ruined, won't the company suffer as well?"Right now, all you need to do is issue a public statement saying that everything was fabricated by Rosanne—that this was all just part of her scheme. The public won't believe her. They will definitely…"Before he could finish, a chill ran down his spine when he met Angela's piercing, icy gaze.She stared at him intently, her entire presence overwhelming, as if she could explode in anger at any moment.Angela scoffed. "Oh, you've really thought this through. No wonder you're so bold."With an awkward expression, Logan scratched his nose. "I'm just thinking about the company's best interests. I don't want your reputation to be affected, after all.""You shameless bastard! Do you dare swear that the child in my belly has nothing to do with you? You damn scumbag! I must have b

Angela continued after a brief pause, "Why don't I transfer Logan to the operations and logistics department to fix toilets and pipes? From now on, he'll handle all the dirty and exhausting work. Someone like him doesn't deserve to be in a public-facing role." Zack was utterly stunned, his face filled with shock. He swallowed hard.Once again, he felt fortunate that he had made the right choice—thankfully, he had not switched sides."W-well… He definitely won't agree to that," Zack stammered. "That guy values his pride more than anything.""After what happened, his reputation is already in the gutter. He won't be able to find another job in Eldmere City for at least three months. Since he just bought a house and paid Rosanne a huge settlement, he's strapped for cash. He has no choice but to endure it for now."Angela popped another grape into her mouth.Fiona had bought these premium seedless grapes. Since they were particularly sweet, eating too many was a bit heavy on the pala

"Ms. Graham, are you really going to force him to quit? A person like him may seem friendly and able to handle things smoothly in any situation on the surface, but in reality, he is someone who holds grudges and seeks revenge. I'm worried he'll retaliate against you," Clara warned anxiously.Angela smiled, exuding confidence. "Let him try to retaliate. He's no good anyway. Over the years, he's used his position to shove a bunch of brainless idiots into the company. If we don't deal with him this time, it'll just come back to bite us later. It's better to take him out completely now."Having cleaned up the trash, Angela felt particularly cheerful.She planned to take a drive over the next couple of days—to cruise around the suburbs, enjoy the mountains and waters outside the city, and basically treat herself to a day off.With that idea in mind, she immediately set things in motion, wrapping up all company affairs two days in advance and delegating anything unfinished to Clara.Jus
