"I don't care." Clenching her teeth, Jennifer spoke slowly. "Angela, don't think that I don't know what you're up to. You're just playing hard to get. From now on—""Get lost," Zack interrupted impatiently. He got up and waved them away. "Seriously, what is this? You actually have the nerve to spout nonsense in front of my sister? Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror and realize how ridiculous you are? Unbelievable."As he spoke, he ushered Jennifer out. She had never been treated so rudely before, and in a fit of rage, she suddenly slapped Zack across the face.Zack was stunned."What the fuck? Did you just hit me? What right do you have to hit me?" His teeth clenched as fury burned inside him. Alas, he was a man—he couldn't hit a woman.Jennifer shook her aching hand before smirking provocatively. "Like brother, like sister. Your sister is no good, and neither are you. You two are nothing but a pair of motherless—"Before she could finish her sentence, Angel

After a short pause, Angela continued, "But you insulted my mother. She is everything to me. Someone like you isn't even worthy of mentioning her name."Angela gazed coldly at the woman on the ground, her expression turning even more icy. Jennifer, however, seemed utterly baffled, as if she hadn't even understood what Angela had said."Leave now. If there's a next time, I won't go easy on you." Angela found this whole encounter utterly dull and waved her hand, dismissing the clueless Jennifer.Jennifer's face flushed red and pale in turns, like she had just swallowed something disgusting. In the end, she tucked her tail between her legs and left in humiliation."Wow, Angie, you were amazing just now! That was a total one-sided beatdown. You think so highly of her, but to me, she's nothing." Zack looked at Angela with sparkling admiration, almost starstruck by her.Angela, however, calmly remarked, "She's Ursula Abbott's niece. I can't underestimate her. Who knows if she's hiding a

Shauna was silent for a moment. "But if people find out that you and Dexter aren't actually in a relationship…"Jennifer sighed, her tone exasperated. "Shauna, it's so obvious that you've never dated anyone before. You have no idea how crazy people get when they're in love."Even someone as powerful as Mr. Bamford can lose his mind over unfulfilled desires, acting foolishly and resorting to self-harm like some lovesick teenager. Now tell me, what does that tell you?"Shauna hesitated, fumbling for an answer. "Doesn't that just mean… his ego was hurt and he can't handle being dumped, so he's just upset and restless?""Wrong." Jennifer raised an eyebrow. "It means he still loves Angela. That's why he tried to get that heartless woman's attention. But after testing the waters, I discovered something shocking—Dexter isn't actually that important to Angela.""What?" Shauna gasped. "There's actually a woman in this world who doesn't care about the great Mr. Bamford? That's Dexter Bamfor

Jennifer was momentarily stunned, feeling a bit at a loss.What did Dexter mean by that?What was she trying to do? Wasn't she just playing the role of a devoted woman, trying to sabotage Dexter and Angela's love to boost her own popularity and gain more resources?But why was she even thinking about her objectives all of a sudden?"Mr. Bamford, what do you mean by that?" Jennifer asked in astonishment, genuinely confused.Dexter was visibly impatient. "Drop the act. I'll give you three seconds to decide whether you want to tell the truth or not."Jennifer felt a chill run down her spine.She had been found out? How was that possible? Was it that obvious? She was the top of her acting class—who could out-do her when it came to acting?"Three, two—""I'll talk! I'll talk!" Jennifer couldn't hold it together anymore. Dexter's sharp eyes and commanding presence were simply too much."I… I just wanted to make my path in the entertainment industry smoother."There was no need for

"Of course it's to keep her engaged with us. I'll provoke her, and once she responds, she'll inevitably be drawn into interactions with you. This way, you'll have a reason to engage with her, which is far better than this current state of mutual avoidance, wouldn't you say?"Blinking her bright eyes, Jennifer added with a smile, "Mr. Bamford, you might be invincible in the business world, but when it comes to love, I might just have the upper hand. And as a woman, I understand women best."Dexter narrowed his dark eyes as he studied the confident, straightforward woman in front of him. "And you're doing all this just to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry?"Why were there so many women in this world willing to do anything for their careers?For a fleeting moment, Dexter saw a shadow of Angela in Jennifer, which irritated him even more.Without hesitation, Jennifer replied, "Of course. But when I first approached you, I did have a bit of wishful thinking, wondering if I c

"Jennifer Abbott." Daphne handed a document to Angela.Angela was slightly taken aback, glancing at Daphne with a look of appreciation.The document was clear and concise, summarizing the recent online events with accompanying images, ultimately concluding that Jennifer was here to provoke her and stir up another wave of public opinion."As expected of someone personally assigned to me by Austin—you're impressively thorough." Angela smiled at Daphne, who was only about 24 or 25 years old, with admiration in her gaze.Daphne gave a shy smile, her round eyes bright. "Mr. Howard sent me here to assist you, Ms. Graham. If I didn't give my all, I'd feel bad. However…""What is it?"With just a quick read-through of the document, Angela had already come up with a countermeasure. She planned to turn the situation around and see what Jennifer's true intentions were, then strike where it hurt the most."There have been a lot of doubts about you in the company these past few days. Many pe

"I'll pack everything up and send it to him," Angela added. "Do you have something else to say?"Jennifer hadn't expected Angela to be so decisive and unemotional about it. Angela didn't even seem the least bit angry.Internally, Jennifer sighed, lamenting that her road ahead was long and full of obstacles."No, that won't do. It has to be now. I came all this way; I can't just leave empty-handed." She crossed her arms, her attitude unyielding.Daphne finally lost her patience and snapped, "You're being unreasonable! Do you expect Ms. Graham to carry everything with her at all times?"Jennifer suddenly seemed to recall something. Her eyes flicked to Angela's wrist. "Then, how about this—take off your bracelet and return it first. You can send the rest later. That way, the break will be clean."Angela froze for a moment, her fingers curling tightly in her sleeve, her entire body stiffening.This bracelet meant something special to her.She had wanted to keep it as a memory, but

Erwin got even more frustrated as he thought about it. The company had spent years building its public image, and he wasn't about to let some newcomer destroy it."Mr. Mack, please have a seat and hear me out first." Angela maintained a gentle and warm attitude. It was hard to be mad at someone who was being nice, so Erwin swallowed back some of his harsher words upon seeing her respectful demeanor."What exactly is going on between you and Dexter now?" he asked directly.Angela's smile faded, her expression turning serious. "Mr. Bamford and I are already divorced. We have nothing to do with each other anymore, and I will handle any remaining matters as soon as possible. Please don't worry."It was important to adopt the right attitude when acknowledging an issue.Just then, Daphne hurried in, looking anxious. She had been about to speak when she noticed Erwin in the room and hesitated."What's going on? Just say it," Erwin prompted.Daphne glanced at Angela, who gave her a no

After all, Angela knew better than anyone that Fiona genuinely cared for her and was truly worried about her."There's no need for that," Fiona said, waving her hand. "These are two assistants I recently promoted. They're quite capable, and they'll be your PR assistants from now on."With that, the young man and woman behind her stepped forward to introduce themselves.The woman had a sharp, professional appearance—almost like a government official. Her sleek ponytail sat neatly behind her head, and she gave a subtle yet confident smile."Nice to meet you, Ms. Graham. I'm Raquel Livingston," Raquel said, extending her hand to shake Angela's.Her gaze was sincere, looking as if she admired Angela. "Ms. Graham, I'm well aware of your achievements. In fact, I specifically requested to be assigned to you. I hope you'll keep me on your team."Angela was a little taken aback. "Oh, have we met before?"Raquel shook her head decisively. "No, but I know about how you revived Graham Group

Although Angela and Dexter had already parted ways, the fact that Angela and Fiona could still maintain a good relationship indirectly proved that Angela herself had done nothing seriously wrong.In other words, their divorce was likely an amicable one, with both parties reaching a mutual agreement and cutting ties without conflict."Ms. Graham, they're really something. A lot of people are now talking about how well you and Madam Fiona get along," Daphne remarked with a smile over lunch.Angela said indifferently, "Did you find the people I asked for? How's the progress?"To her, public opinion was trivial. That matter was already in the past.Daphne was momentarily stunned before replying, "I tried, but HR isn't being very helpful. It seems they're unwilling to cooperate."Without even looking up, Angela said, "If they won't cooperate, just have Raquel and Harry handle it. They must find eight people within three days who are good-looking, in great shape, and have prior livestr
