MasukAngela Bailey spent six years believing her marriage was built on love, only to discover her devoted husband was nothing more than a polished illusion. When she filed for divorce and asked her daughter to leave with her, the little girl clung to another woman’s hand and called her “Mom.” Donald Turner, cold and entitled, told her, “As long as you apologize to Nina, you can still live your high-society life.” Angela scoffed. “You might not even stay in high society yourself.” She walked out of the Turner household with nothing, determined to rebuild her life from the ground up. With her own talent and grit, she joined a new company and went head-to-head with her ex. Just when Donald realized his mistake and wanted her back, another man stepped into Angela’s life—someone who protected her openly, supported her quietly, and cherished her without hesitation. Donald regretted everything and wanted her back. He appeared with their daughter, eyes red as he pleaded, “I’ll give you the entire Turner family. Please love me and our daughter again.” The man beside Angela laughed. “The Turner family? That means nothing. Angela doesn’t need it. And as for a daughter…” He looked at Angela, and together they said, “We already have one.”

Donald doubled the offer. Then tripled it. Tim finally agreed.But not long after, Tim called back, apologetically saying he could not sell after all.Tim was not the kind of man who turned down money. If he would not sell, it could only mean one thing—the Chairman of Hightide had forbidden it.That man was elusive and unpredictable. Donald did not even know when he had crossed him.Unable to enter Crestwood Heights and unable to buy his way in, Donald could only wait until dawn.Donald recognized Leon’s car.Thinking there was a chance Angela might be inside, he spread his arms and stepped forward, blocking the v
Angela woke up and opened her eyes, staring blankly at the unfamiliar room in gray and white tones for three seconds.In those three seconds, three key thoughts surfaced.She had blacked out again. Alcohol was dangerous.Leon’s room. That eased her slightly.She was divorced now, with no fear of rumors.Angela let out a breath.She sat up and looked around for her phone.At some point it had been set to silent. There were more than twenty missed calls.All from the landline at Rosewood Manor.There was also a notification showing a transfer of one hundred million.So, the calls were from Donald?Since she had blocked his number, he used the Rosewood Manor landline instead.Was he calling to tell her the money had been transferred?That really was not necessary. She was not going to be grateful.Angela ignored the missed calls and messaged the workers at the packaging plant.She asked whether they had received notice to resume work.They all replied that they were already on their way t
The car stopped in the underground garage.Leon walked to the passenger side, unbuckled Angela’s seat belt, and lifted her at the waist, carrying her toward the elevator lobby.Angela kept repeating the same line, “I’m divorced, did you know? Dr. Wright, I’m divorced!”“You’ve already said it eight hundred times,” Leon said helplessly.To others, divorce was simply a mutual decision between two people.But for Angela, it meant fighting with everything she had, blood and sweat alike. These past two months had not been easy on her.Leon did not know the password to Angela’s place.She had turned off the facial recognition feature earlier.With no choice, he set her down and took her fingers, trying them one by one.Five attempts, all wrong.The lock activated, forcing a five-minute wait before another try.Leon lifted her again and brought her to his place instead, gently placing her on his bed.Angela’s face was flushed, her fair cheeks tinged with color, her hair loose and scattered.L
Angela frowned in displeasure.Donald wanted to express how he felt at that moment, but losing to Angela already felt humiliating enough.With his resolve wavering, the words that came out shifted as well.“Did what happened to Nina have anything to do with you?”Angela blinked, looking genuinely unaware.“What happened to her? Did someone beat her up? Or did she get a tumor? Is she dead?”Donald’s brows tightened. “Do you really have to be this vicious? What did she ever do to you that you hate her so much, to the point of finding men to ruin her?”Angela lifted her brows, a trace of unmistakable glee flashing across her face as she spoke.“She was ruined by men? Are you sure? If you’re sure, then I’ll laugh.”“She wasn’t ruined! I’m asking you.”“Why ask me? How would I possibly know whether she was ruined or not… When she comes back, you can sleep with her yourself and see. Then you’ll have your answer.”After saying that even more viciously, Angela got into a taxi and left.The suc
