All Chapters of Love and Devotion: No Longer His to Claim: Chapter 451 - Chapter 460

In that instant, Angela felt like a deer caught in headlights, flustered and awkward. Heat rushed to her face, and her breath caught in her throat.What was she even doing here? For what reason and with what right? She was the one who suggested separating. She was the one who abandoned him. What did his well-being have to do with her? "It seems like you've gotten more ahead of yourself after just a few days apart." Dexter shot her a cold glance, his tone dripping with sarcasm. Angela was mortified. How harsh! He was the Dexter from a few years back again, his tongue laced with venom. Although he seemed harmless when silent, the moment he spoke, every word was a merciless strike. Frustration simmered within Angela. Damn it. She had already come this far. How could she let herself be humiliated by a bedridden person? "Who could possibly outdo you when it comes to getting ahead of oneself, Mr. Bamford?" Angela raised her chin, locking eyes with him. Dexter's expression da

It seemed that Erwin had chosen to live here for the convenience of commuting.When Angela and Austin arrived at the door, the latter punched in the passcode directly.Angela was taken aback. "We're just going to go in like this? Mr. Mack isn't home. We really shouldn't be doing this, should we?"Austin said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. He lives alone, and he's probably out for his morning exercise. He won't be back for a while."Sure enough, Austin's words were proven true the second they stepped inside.It was a two-bedroom unit, decorated in black, white, and gray tones. The space looked quite large, but the living room was rather empty, as only a regular couch and a round coffee table occupied the space.There wasn't even a television. The whole place gave off the vibe of a bachelor's home.After a quick tour, Austin led Angela into the kitchen, which was even more barren—not even a bag of salt could be found.Erwin's favorite food was oven-baked barbecue ribs, suppos

"I'm about to go on a blind date with Dexter. I heard that you two are already divorced. You wouldn't still be clinging to some unrealistic fantasy about him, would you? A woman as old and… scandal-ridden as you is simply not worthy of a man like him."Jennifer had originally intended to call Angela "old and ugly," but the word "ugly" simply didn't suit Angela at all. She couldn't bring herself to tell such an obvious lie."Does Ursula know you came to me?" Angela smiled faintly. "Just a few days ago, she was looking to work with me and have us design looks for the artists in her company. You all have a major awards ceremony coming up soon, don't you?""What are you trying to say?" Jennifer frowned slightly.Angela let out a light chuckle. "I'm saying that I could easily tell Ursula that her brainless niece has offended me, and I don't feel like working with her anymore. That means no more custom gowns or luxury jewelry for her. Simple as that."Angela spoke in a calm tone, not sh

There was something about Jennifer's gaze that was so clear and sincere that it made it impossible to look away.Dexter smirked absentmindedly. "You seem to know quite a lot. So what? What does it have to do with you?""You deserve better, Mr. Bamford." There was a hint of nervousness in her voice as Jennifer tentatively suggested, "I took clinical medicine as part of my studies abroad and have a deep understanding of patient care. If you don't mind, Mr. Bamford, I could—""Does this hospital have no staff?" Dexter interrupted impatiently, his tone direct. "What exactly do you want? You have three seconds to answer.""Mr. Bamford, to be honest, I fell for you at first sight a year ago, at Mr. Bamford Senior's birthday banquet. I thought time would help me forget these feelings since you were a married man back then."But even after a year, my feelings haven't faded. On the contrary, they've only grown stronger. Mr. Bamford, can't you give me a chance?"Jennifer was left with no c

Angela's decisiveness in handling matters was commendable, but that didn't change the fact that she was merely a so-called CEO parachuted in through connections.Since Genevieve had faith in her, Erwin was willing to show some courtesy for Genevieve's sake and give Angela a chance to prove herself.If Angela truly was capable, he was willing to let things be. However, if she weren't up to par, he would have every reason to make her step down.He was simply nipping a potential problem in the bud."Mr. Mack, that wouldn't be right." Austin suddenly stood up, staring disapprovingly at Erwin.Erwin chuckled. "Why not? Didn't Ms. Graham make those statements herself?"At that moment, Angela had already guessed his intentions. She slowly got up, signaling Austin to stay calm.Then, she confidently declared, "I can promise that I will establish a new set of effective company regulations, increase quarterly revenue by at least half of the previous quarter, and as for employee salaries a
