"Hello, Angela. Long time no see." Right then, Trevor suddenly spoke.He looked at Angela with a mocking smile as if he had spotted something amusing. "You sure are brave, huh? You jumped from such a tall building without a second thought. Weren't you afraid of falling to your death?""You're not much better yourself." Angela sneered coldly, casting him a look of disgust before walking over to stand in front of Fiona."Angela, why don't you divorce Dexter and be with me? I promise to treat you well, and I won't be like him, a person who enjoys candlelight dinners with other women while your life hangs by a thread." Trevor grinned wickedly, acting like an insolent child."Sorry, but I wouldn't even consider you." Angela scoffed. "Besides, you'll be going to prison today.""How could you be so cruel?" Trevor raised an eyebrow, smiling slyly.That smile not only failed to give a sense of warmth but also felt particularly unsettling."Angela, for my sake, let him off this time. Just

"Grandma, you may not know this, but he was the one who abducted me first and demanded ransom money from Dexter. This matter has already—"Before Angela could finish, Natalie slammed her palm on the coffee table with a loud bang. "I already know everything about that! He merely acted out of resentment and anger. If he had lived in the Bamford household all along and hadn't been wronged, would he have done such a thing?"Besides, as his sister-in-law, you should act like an elder sister and be more forgiving. You should also persuade your mother-in-law to accept him instead of fanning the flames and encouraging their divorce!"Angela was speechless.Natalie used to be in poor health and didn't involve herself much in family matters, but she was never known to be this unreasonable.Now that she was fine, had she become muddleheaded?"He almost killed me, and you're asking me to forgive him? Are you serious?" Angela couldn't contain her anger any longer, her tone growing cold."Shu

The crowd parted, and Angela walked over with a calm expression, followed by Dexter."Go on—how should you be punished?" Natalie leaned back in bed, still exuding an overbearing attitude.Angela was a bit confused. "Me? Why should I be punished?""All of this happened because of you. If you hadn't participated in that ridiculous competition, none of this would've happened, and the family wouldn't be in turmoil!"Natalie sneered coldly, a hint of mockery in her eyes. "You went to compete with your pathetic skills? All you did was be an embarrassment."Angela was stunned.Natalie had been cold in the past but had never been this unreasonable."How does this have anything to do with Angie? You've really become muddleheaded," Joseph said as he entered.He had been feeling unwell for the past couple of days and had been resting, only managing to get out of bed today."This is all because you've been coddling her and letting this spoiled woman have her way. That's how she was able t

On their way there, the car was engulfed in heavy silence."Today, a lot of people were talking about the matter. Mom's in a bad mood. If you have the time, do comfort her," Dexter suddenly said as the car came to a stop.Nodding slightly, Angela agreed.Fiona, surprisingly, had arrived before them. She was seated on the couch with a laptop in front of her, clearly still busy with work.When Joseph arrived, he called everyone to the dining table for dinner.That day, Ursula and Cecilia were also there and sat opposite Joseph.Cecilia, with her playful demeanor and humorous remarks, made Joseph laugh several times heartily, but her efforts didn't change the cold atmosphere around the table."Fiona, oh, wait… I forgot you're no longer a part of the family. Should I address you more formally instead?"Since you and my brother are divorced, isn't it time you give up the control of the household? After all, technically speaking, you're no longer part of the Bamford family," Ursula s

Angela couldn't quite explain it, but whenever Callum was in front of her, she could feel his genuine care for her, as if he were an elder sibling of hers.This feeling was both grounding and reassuring."We'll first extend an olive branch to Graham Group and show Bill your worth. Then, I'll propose that if they want to keep working with DawnStar long-term, they'll need to reinstate you. He surely won't say no." Callum maintained his smile, his expression as warm as the sun.Angela gave a solemn nod. "Thank you, Mr. Snowden. Your immense kindness and support can only be repaid by more hard work from me."Originally, she had planned to build her reputation and gather strength here before daring to confront Bill as an equal.She hadn't expected Callum to offer her such an opportunity voluntarily. It was almost unbelievable."However…" Callum sighed lightly. "Even after you return to Graham Group, you'll still need to remain DawnStar's specially contracted designer."Angela froze a
