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

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

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

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

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
