Angela Graham's husband abandons her twice on her birthday for the sake of his true love. She's devastated and dejected when she learns a secret—it turns out that every celebration and anniversary that she and her husband have had over the past five years was planned by his true love. Angela's heart and love have been stomped on far too many times. It's been five years, and she's tired. She doesn't want to stick it out anymore. But her ex-husband comes running when she leaves him and allows another man to stand by her side. "You can't fall in love with anyone else without my permission, Angela!" Angela laughs. "You think too highly of yourself, ex-husband."

Jennifer was rather frustrated. In theory, a man like Dexter, who was so charming and outstanding, should have easily won Angela over with all the effort he had put in to make her change her mind.Yet, the stubborn Angela acted like someone who had kicked a drug addiction. She merely observed from the sidelines, refusing to take the bait.Jennifer also believed that Dexter was being too laid-back about this. He was making her create minor issues for Angela, but he hadn't made any big moves himself. How could that work?"Mr. Bamford, if you ask me, you should get your family to help," Jennifer suggested. "I heard Ms. Graham is very close to your grandfather. If you involve him, she will definitely…"She didn't voice the rest of her thoughts.Dexter stared silently into space, as if lost in thought. He didn't say anything for a long time.Jennifer became anxious. "Mr. Bamford, you two have feelings for each other. You can't cut off contact. You need to show up in front of her occas

"You're out of luck. The elevator's to the right—please leave." Angela showed no courtesy as she outright told Jennifer to go. She couldn't be bothered to waste any more time on this drama queen."You…"Jennifer stood up abruptly, furious. "Angela, do you even hear yourself? I'm representing Bamford Co. Since you dare refuse me, does that mean you're not worried that this will anger Mr. Bamford?""Oh, I'm so scared!" Angela made an exaggerated face before smirking, making it clear she wasn't taking Jennifer seriously at all. "If you don't leave now, I'll have to call security.""Then I'll just have Mr. Bamford personally come here to talk to you." Jennifer sneered, waving her phone that had diamond studs on the back."Ms. Graham, you and Mr. Bamford have already gone your separate ways. I'm sure you don't want to have anything to do with him anymore, right? If he comes here to talk to you, your decision will change, won't it?"Angela remained indifferent, looking at Jennifer with

As a woman, Angela might not be the most perceptive in some areas, but when it came to matters of the heart, she knew what she was talking about.She could tell that Ingrid, despite her cold and distant demeanor, truly liked Austin. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here and swallowed her pride for him.Angela wasn't petty. As long as things could be cleared up over time, she wouldn't hold onto grudges.…In the afternoon, she and Austin held a management meeting to analyze and summarize the recent live commerce project.At the end, they conducted a vote, and more than half of the people fully supported Angela's decision. The rest had no choice but to go along with the majority. With this, Angela had managed to establish herself in the company for the time being.The live commerce gradually fell into a rhythm, boosting sales several times over and bringing Horizon back into the spotlight with consumers.To maintain this momentum, Angela had the HR department hire a group of youn

It was just that Ingrid hadn't quite shifted her perspective yet.At the moment, Angela was wondering whether things could be resolved peacefully. If tensions could be eased, wouldn't that mean she would gain a highly capable ally? Why would she go out of her way to maximize animosity?"What a shame; I absolutely hate cream puffs." Unfortunately, Ingrid wasn't having any of it. She shot a disdainful glance at Angela and the cream puffs.Angela froze for a second. Then, shrugging it off, she simply opened the plastic bag and took a bite of a cream puff."Well, if you've got something to say, go ahead. I've got no time to waste on someone who doesn't appreciate cream puffs." She spoke righteously, as if anyone who disliked cream puffs didn't deserve her respect.Ingrid wore a look of complete bewilderment. She stared at Angela, wondering if she had changed overnight. What was going on today? Had everyone eaten some weird mushroom or something, making them act all weird?"My dad w

After saying that, Angela went back into her office.Ingrid and Erwin hesitated for a long while before finally walking in, one after the other.Their moods were entirely different. Ingrid was worried that if she clashed with Angela again, Austin might step in and transfer her to a branch company altogether.Erwin, on the other hand, was burdened with guilt. His mind was still stuck on the dream he had last night.He had always been the kind of person who didn't take things to heart and did as he pleased, except when it came to Genevieve, the one and only woman in his heart. Anything related to her left him particularly melancholic.In the dream, Genevieve had shed her usual gentle demeanor and berated him nonstop, scolding him for the way he had treated her beloved mentee.The dark circles under Erwin's eyes were plain to see. He walked into the office first.Although he still felt awkward and his expression wasn't exactly pleasant, he tried to pull himself together. Clearing h

When Jennifer reached the end of her sentence, her voice grew so soft it was barely audible.She felt like being around Dexter was like walking on thin ice—one wrong move and she could fall from grace and be crushed into pieces."Who's got a crush on him?" Dexter asked through gritted teeth.Jennifer gave a sheepish smile. "It's Ingrid Mack, the woman we met today."Dexter fell silent.Did that mean that Ingrid might have been targeting Angela out of jealousy over her relationship with Austin? And that, if, one day, Austin was no longer the wedge between them, Angela and Ingrid might actually make peace?"Then figure out a way to get the two of them together," Dexter snapped coldly.Jennifer was shocked. What a disaster.This was Austin they were talking about—a rising star in the industry. It was as if he had spent the past few years building momentum in secret, only to burst into the spotlight this year.Lately, he had been a regular face on financial news because he had bee

Angela felt like the world was becoming surreal.What on earth was happening? Jennifer was the one who was speaking up for her. What was she trying to do?In that moment, Angela felt like her previous suspicions had been confirmed. Jennifer wasn't the clueless, thoughtless woman she appeared to be on the surface."Well, we would need to discuss this internally," Angela said after a brief pause, her tone indifferent. "This is Horizon's internal matter, so there is no need for the two of you to worry.""Hesitant and indecisive—hardly the traits of a great leader." Dexter snorted, a flash of coldness flickering in his eyes.Angela felt a knot tighten in her chest, but she chose not to respond. After stepping out of the room, she made an excuse about not feeling well and retreated to her office. In the end, it was Austin who escorted Dexter out.As the two men entered the elevator together, the confined space felt even more suffocating.Jennifer stood quietly behind them, mentally r

At least Dexter was responding promptly to Jennifer.As he spoke, he unconsciously glanced sideways at the person on the other side of the elevator, only to see Angela with her head lowered, seemingly unaware of what was happening on his side.His chest tightened instantly, as if a boulder was pressing down hard, making it hard for him to breathe.As a ding sounded, the elevator doors opened. Angela was the first to step out, her high heels clacking sharply against the floor as she walked away at a rapid pace.Austin followed closely behind, keeping up with her pace. The two of them, one in front and one behind, looked like a couple in the midst of a fight.Angela was genuinely upset. If she could help it, she wanted more than anyone to endure it quietly without revealing a hint of her true emotions.But in that moment, the self-control she had always prided herself on felt like a joke.She couldn't deny that she still cared. It stung to see someone else standing beside Dexter.

Angela, feeling irritated, was planning to make an excuse to leave and let Austin accompany the two lovebirds instead.But before she could speak, Jennifer cut off her escape route. "Ms. Graham, you're free right now, right? Surely, you won't avoid us just because of your past relationship with Mr. Bamford?"Angela suddenly sensed something was off with Jennifer.The latter had been provoking her all day, with each sentence she uttered carrying double meanings and her gaze flickering to Angela's face more often than not.Suddenly, an idea occurred to Angela. Could it be that Jennifer was doing this on purpose? Was she helping Dexter test her?Otherwise, even if Jennifer was attractive, how could someone like her, whose abilities were average at best and who lacked intelligence, possibly catch Dexter's eye?At that thought, Angela's irritation eased considerably. In a way, this could be a good thing."Ms. Graham?" Jennifer waved her hand in front of her. "What are you thinking ab

Chapter 1
It was actually very obvious whether a man loved a woman or not. Angela Graham knew it very well. For example, Dexter Bamford could spend a fortune buying out all the billboards in the central business district to celebrate the birthday of his first love, Elena Carrey. He did so that the whole city would be able to tell his sincerity toward her.But for Angela's birthday, all she got was just a small, six-inch cake. In fact, it was the very same cake the nanny had gotten on her birthday.Angela chuckled when she saw the cake. It made sense, after all. Although she was Dexter's legally wedded wife, the actual Mrs. Bamford, her job scope wasn't much different from the nanny's anyway.The only extra task she had was sleeping with Dexter.Angela felt tears well in her eyes when she thought about this. The loneliness in her eyes stood out like a sore thumb amid the noisy surroundings of the party.Dexter had been late to the party as always. Actually, he had planned on staying at the...
