All Chapters of My Cheating Husband Regretted Everything After I Married a Powerful Billionaire: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Angela said, “No.”A moment later, she remembered how shameless and vexing Nelson was.If she refused to see him, he would surely go around spreading nonsense in her new company.Angela called out to the receptionist, then stood and headed to the reception hall.She offered no greeting and pleasantries, just one word:“Talk.”Nelson didn’t get angry. He put on a fake polite smile.“Miss Bailey, you wear every emotion on your face. That’s a real disadvantage in the workplace. Look at me. I don’t like you either, but I should still smile at you, right?”“Some people are born to smile, Nelson. Like those corporate yes-men—backstabbing, spreading rumors, and stirring up trouble in the dark—yet still grinning like they’re loyal and clean.”Angela was sharp-tongued and quick with her insults.Furious, Nelson slammed the table and stood up.A few glances turned their way, forcing his rage to shrink back a little.“I came to remind you that during the cooling-off period, engaging in intimate b

Angela’s goodwill toward the old man faded instantly.She spoke plainly, “If you want to record, you can set your camera out in the open. The X2+ chip was designed for legal evidence collection. If it’s used for malicious spying, it betrays the developers’ intent.”Nolan came over, trying to find proof that the man had been filming.But he couldn’t spot where the camera was hidden.The old man suddenly let out a hearty laugh, pulled out the pen, and handed it to Angela. “It’s not on.”Angela checked, and indeed, it wasn’t activated.She returned the pen, though she still didn’t let down her guard.The man said, “Walking the whole expo is tiring. May I sit inside for a moment?”Before Angela could answer, Nolan stepped aside and cleared a path.Once the man sat down, Nolan brought him a cup of water.He said nothing and walked away with his usual cold indifference.Angela tested the temperature of the water, only after confirming it wasn’t too hot did she set it before the old man.“Wha

Leon strode forward with swift, lethal steps.Darren panicked and tried to scramble out an excuse. “This is all a misunder—”Leon’s foot came down hard, kicking him square in the chest.Darren felt his ribs crack, agony exploding through him.Something surged up his throat.He opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of blood.Leon crouched beside Angela, a flicker of pain passing through his eyes.He buttoned her small blazer one button at a time, lifted her gently onto the sofa, and brushed aside the loose strands of hair on her forehead, his fingertips lingering over her pale cheek with aching tenderness.Then he slowly straightened, removed the watch Angela had given him, and set it aside.He turned and walked toward Darren.Half-lit by the room’s harsh lighting, his face showed almost no expression, yet Darren felt something cold slither down his spine like a crawling snake.“D-don’t come any closer. Do you even know who I am? Do you know my aun—”Leon wasn’t listening to a word.He g

Angela rested for one night and went to the company the next morning as usual.No one mentioned what happened yesterday.It was as if nothing had happened at all.Darren didn’t report it to the police.She didn’t either.First, because Darren’s retribution was satisfying.Second, she wanted to protect the person who had taken him down in the shadows.Someone who did good without leaving a name—if nobody found him, he could help others in the future, make the world a little better.If he got found out, he would definitely end up in prison.That was Angela’s reasoning.The chairman arranged for media to come and re-record Angela’s feature for EverCore.Angela gave a concise overview of the breakthroughs their next-generation chip would achieve.Only two days had passed, yet EverCore’s official site already showed a clear spike in traffic.Even the fingerprint ring received a few preorders.The team was overjoyed.Since joining the company, Angela had never taken her team out for a meal.

“One of you took your mother’s last name while the other took your father’s?”Leon nodded, then shook his head again, as if there were things he couldn’t explain yet.He only said to Angela, “I took my adoptive father’s name… My family situation is complicated. When the time’s right, I’ll tell you everything, one piece at a time.”Angela replied calmly, “It’s fine.”But her fingers were digging so hard into the sofa she was nearly clawing a hole in it.This posture made her unbearably tense.Leon leaned toward her, his breath warm against the shell of her ear.That closeness, too intimate and nowhere near safe, sent a jolt through her.She shifted another inch away.But his warmth followed an inch closer.So that was how he wanted to play it?Angela stopped retreating. She suddenly shoved him, and Leon’s back hit the sofa.She boxed him in with her body, one hand braced against the back of the couch, the posture almost like she was pinning him in place.Her gaze burned, but her tone st
