Semua Bab Love and Devotion: No Longer His to Claim: Bab 371 - Bab 380

Fortunately, as the first batch of deceived customers received their compensation from Celestia Jewels, public interest surged, and the company's credibility slowly began to recover.For the past two days, Angela and Maverick had been working in perfect coordination—Maverick focused on handling the crisis, while Angela worked tirelessly to recruit new talent.The company lacked professionals in many areas, especially management. Although the two of them were doing their best to keep everything afloat, there was simply no way they could handle every little thing on their own.Angela decided to bring Clara over, hoping she could temporarily transfer some staff from the headquarters to Celestia Jewels until new employees were hired.Although Clara agreed, most employees were reluctant to go when they heard that the assignment required a long-term stay in Yedren. Even the promise of double the pay and better benefits couldn't tempt them away from home.When Angela didn't get a reply f

Angela gave a nod. "Grandpa, I won't meddle unnecessarily."She had no habit of meddling in matters that didn't concern her, but she would step in when it came to the people she cared about.She stayed at Bamford Manor for two days, taking turns with Dexter to look after Joseph. On the third day, she finally got in touch with Mia.Mia sounded weak over the phone, as if she had also caught the flu. Her frail voice made Angela's heart ache.After discussing it with Dexter, Angela made up her mind to visit Mia in person.It had only been a short while since they had last met, but Mia's belly had grown considerably. Moving around had become a challenge for her."What happened to you? How did you end up like this?" Angela was startled the moment she walked in and saw Mia curled up on the couch, looking pale.As far as Angela could remember, Mia had always been a fashionable and strikingly beautiful woman. It was clear how gorgeous she was just from how obsessed Zayn had always been w

"Angela, how could this happen? This is impossible… Zayn promised me that once our child is born, he will take us abroad to settle down and never return. How did things turn out like this?"Tears of despair welled up in Mia's eyes, and her whole body trembled.Angela gripped the steering wheel tightly, remaining silent. She didn't want to speak because the moment she did, she knew she'd start cursing.Mia wept in soft, scattered sobs, but they lasted only a short while before she wiped away her tears."Angela, thank you. Thank you for getting me out of there. Otherwise, I would still be an ignorant fool!"Gritting her teeth, Mia scoffed. "Since Zayn has chosen to betray me, he can't blame me for what happens next!"Angela turned to look at her in surprise, almost in disbelief. Hadn't Mia been crying and heartbroken just 20 minutes ago? Was she fine now?Mia had already dried her tears at that point. She even smiled at herself in the mirror.Noticing Angela's gaze, she turned an

"Mia! Mia, you have to pull yourself together." After a brief moment, Angela helped her up and sighed. "Think carefully—did you sign anything you shouldn't have? Did Leroy deceive you? That's your company, your livelihood. We can't just sit here and do nothing!"Mia looked pale. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to sit upright and think.A few days ago, Leroy had indeed come to see her. At that time, she hadn't seen anyone besides Susan for days, so she had been overjoyed to see him.Then, Leroy had handed her a pile of documents to review, with a few requiring her signature.As they had chatted, Leroy had mentioned he had his eye on several small clubs and planned to acquire them to expand their business.Mia had already handed over most of the company's operations to him by then. Before doing so, she had also been involved in discussions about acquisitions, so she trusted Leroy deeply.At first, she had carefully reviewed every document. However, Leroy had kept glancing a

Riley's face went rigid, her eyes locking onto Angela as they slowly reddened.How could Zayn possibly love her? And how could he ever be willing to marry her?His heart had long been stolen by Mia, and he only had eyes for her. No matter what Riley did, she couldn't force herself into his heart. Yet, she refused to accept that.She and Zayn had grown up together. She had loved him so deeply, so desperately, for so long—there was no way she could just stand by and watch another woman take him away.As such, she had turned to Florence, offering her a deal. If Florence could make Zayn be with her, she was willing to give away at least half of the Zamora family's fortune to him.And Florence, greedy as she was, was instantly swayed by the offer."That is between me and him," Riley spat, unwilling to admit defeat. "Once we're married, we'll be bound to each other as husband and wife. No one will be able to take him from me ever again.""How foolish can you be? You're really willing
