Chapter 311

Dexter told Joanne to invite Sheldon Larson, the doctor who exclusively treated Joseph, to perform acupuncture on Angela.Angela had always been afraid of those fine needles piercing her skin, but at this moment, she silently agreed.The pain was just too unbearable. It was so intense that she wished she could just die."Are you okay?" Dexter sat beside her, his concern evident.Angela couldn't say a word and merely let out a weak hum. The overwhelming pain washed over her like a tidal wave, making even her breathing rapid and unsteady.Right then, her phone rang. Angela gestured for Dexter to answer it for her.It was Clara calling to ask why Angela hadn't arrived at the company yet. They had scheduled for their business partners to come for a visit to assess the company that day."Help me up." Angela took a deep breath, trying to support herself on the couch and stand.Dexter quickly reached out to hold her. "You're in no condition to go. Let the COO handle it."His tone car

Angela couldn't be bothered to argue with Natalie, who didn't even like her. She simply nodded at Fiona."Dexter, come with me," Natalie called Dexter outside.They stood at the end of the corridor. There was no one else except them.Natalie got straight to the point. "What exactly happened? How did she suddenly end up with such a serious condition? Wasn't she already treated after she fell into the lake last time? Or did she suffer any aftereffects? What's wrong with her anyway? How could she be so irresponsible with her health?"Dexter's expression darkened. "Grandma, who wouldn't care about their own health? This has nothing to do with her negligence."Natalie shot him a sharp look, lowering her voice to say, "If she really can't have children, then shouldn't you start preparing? Our family can't just—""This is none of your business." Dexter's voice turned icy. "Whether we have children or not doesn't affect my relationship with her.""Do you even have a relationship? Does s

In the following days, Angela kept trying to get past everyone who was trying to stop her and hurry back to work.Unfortunately, her biggest obstacle was Fiona, as Dexter was currently fully focused on investigating all the suspicious leads regarding her recent incident.Angela's period cramps had passed, and her complexion had gradually improved with daily rest and care. Fiona was worried Angela would get bored staying in the hospital, so she often took her out for short walks.Many people had come to visit her during this time, but today, two unexpected guests arrived—Ursula and her daughter, Cecilia.The last time Angela had seen them was at the family banquet at Bamford Manor. They'd had no contact since then.Ursula and Fiona had always maintained a surface-level cordiality but never truly got along. After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Ursula shifted her attention to Angela."How could something like this happen? I really wonder who could be so wicked as to harm someo

Angela was a little suspicious of what it was as she took the box and opened it. Inside lay an emerald bracelet identical to the one she had. It was exquisite and elegant.Her eyes lit up. "Where did you find this dupe?"She picked up the bracelet, comparing it to hers. "How much was it? I'll send you the money."It was good to have a duplicate to wear. If she went to Bamford Manor next time, it wouldn't look good if Joseph saw her wrist bare.Dexter rolled his eyes. "Do you really think I'd buy a dupe, Angela?"She chuckled awkwardly. "Then this must've been expensive.""It's in the double digits. It's not worth that much." Dexter snorted lightly before walking out the door.Curious, Angela later asked Rocky about it. Rocky told her Dexter had gotten one of his friends, a jewelry maker, to bring this piece from a remote place. It was a one-of-a-kind treasure—something money couldn't easily buy.She was momentarily stunned.Angela began to feel bad again, leading to inner tu

Dexter believed that he had finally made the right move. He needed to strike while the iron was hot by inviting Angela out for a meal and taking the chance to strengthen their relationship.With that thought in mind, he got into his car and started the engine before dialing Angela's number, eagerly preparing his invitation."I'm out with Mia. I'll hang up now."Angela's voice was light and cheerful when she spoke, and the background hum of a bustling crowd could be heard. She had actually gone out.Before Dexter could utter a single word, he was completely shut down.He instantly froze on the spot. His expression darkened like an impending storm as he clenched tightly around his phone.This ungrateful woman had no conscience at all! How heartless!Little did Angela know that she had just been branded as ungrateful and heartless in Dexter's mind. She had been bored staying at the hospital, so she had decided to visit Mia and drag her along to watch Zack make a fool of himself.L

"You think you're hot stuff? Sales reps like you are a dime a dozen."The group grew nastier by the second, reducing Zack to nothing.Even Mia, who had been watching quietly, couldn't stand it anymore. "These guys are way out of line. What kind of friends are they?"Angela, however, merely smiled. "Letting him see their true colors sooner rather than later is a good thing. It will save him from wasting time with them and ruining his life."Mia tutted in amusement. "I can't believe a sister as ruthless and cold-hearted as you exists, but I suppose it is for his own good."Meanwhile, Zack was nearing his breaking point. His handsome face was ablaze with anger.The group, however, seemed to enjoy watching him on edge, eagerly waiting for his outburst like a live show.Angela, too, was watching intently, but there was a hint of concern in her heart."You lot seriously came all the way here just to run your mouths at me? If that's all, then get lost. Besides, you guys are just a bun

With gritted teeth, Anthony glared at Zack, unable to say a word for a long time.He knew better than anyone that he had fallen into a trap—he had been set up, and the one who had tricked him was none other than Zack, the guy he had always looked down on!"You're dreaming if you think you can scam me. You obviously let go of them yourself just now!" He couldn't hold back and growled.With an innocent expression, Zack shrugged. "Are you kidding me? This is store merchandise worth over a million. Do you think I can just randomly use them to scam people? If you don't want to pay, just say so. I'll call the police or head straight to your house to collect the money."Anthony's face turned a deep shade of purple. He had been kicked out of his house recently. If Zack really went to his family, there was a good chance his father would disown him.However, the problem was that his family had given him the card he had now. If he spent over a million in a single day, his father would defini

"Since you've been so well-behaved today, pick anything you want to eat." Angela patted Zack's shoulder, a hint of approval in her eyes.It was just around mealtime, and Zack immediately thought of a steakhouse on the fourth floor of the mall. Angela didn't object. The three of them chatted merrily as they headed upstairs.Zack soon started his flattery again. "Mia, I heard you and Zayn broke up. You're amazing! In my eyes, you're just as awesome as my sister.""You sure know how to sweet-talk, huh?" Mia's smile faded slightly. It was obvious she wasn't keen on the topic.Currently, only a handful of people—including Angela—were genuinely happy for her.Most others, whether openly or behind her back, were criticizing her, calling her delusional, saying she had overestimated herself and had never been worthy of the Jewell family's son.Mia didn't care about the gossip. Even while pregnant, she hadn't been idle. In the past few days, she had invested in an entertainment company w

Chapter 319

Angela had a feeling that Riley was going to trouble them."Ms. Graham, I recognize you." Riley extended her hand, and Angela shook it without hesitation."Oh?" Angela lifted an eyebrow, her response neutral."Your story is the perfect example of an underdog's success story—everyone in our circle talks about it with great interest. They all praise you for being capable and knowing exactly how to hold onto a man's heart."I didn't expect that you not only won your own battle but also trained a fine student. You two really are the perfect pair of best friends."Riley's smile was anything but warm. It was obvious she wasn't friendly toward Angela—she even carried a hint of hostility.She was the adopted daughter of Florence's brother and had been raised abroad. Riley had always been the daughter-in-law Florence wanted.Because of that connection, Riley had had feelings for Zayn since childhood. As she had grown up, her feelings had remained unchanged. She had been waiting to finish

Zack immediately lifted his leg as if to kick Riley in the thigh.He was over six feet tall. If he really landed that kick, Riley's leg could very well break.The startled Riley quickly stepped back to avoid it, but because of her high heels, she stumbled and fell to the ground in an embarrassing manner.Nevertheless, Zack had only been faking the attack. His foot hovered momentarily before he retracted it, making it clear he had just been trying to scare her."Relax. No matter how rude I might be, I'd never actually hit a woman. But you? You're absolutely the worst for encouraging a child to attack a pregnant woman. You're utterly deranged and as shameless as they come!"Zack sneered coldly, his eyes filled with contempt."Not bad. You've recently picked up a few words to argue better, huh?"Zack scratched his head. "Of course."At that moment, two waiters came out—one invited them inside to eat while the other helped Riley up.The crowd around them had been watching the whol
