NovelEnglishChapter 210
But that sperson was now...
Dexter let out a deep sigh.
At that moment, a sharp scream pierced the air.
It seemed to cfrom Angela's room.
Dexter jumped up in a hurry, but Joanne was a step ahead of him, unlocking Angela's door with a key.
"You can leave," Dexter ordered firmly.
That was right—Joanne was one of his people.
At the moment, only he and Angela remained in the spacious room. Angela sat there, staring into space with
terror in her eyes as if she had just woken from a nightmare.
"Are you alright?" Dexter moved closer, sitting beside her and gently holding her arm reassuringly.
Grabbing his hand tightly, Angela began to sob in a low voice. She had just dreamed of snakes. For a moment,
she thought she was still the person she had been one or two years ago.
As tpassed, the fear within her gradually faded, and only then did she realize what she was doing.
"Sorry." She hastily pulled her hand away. "That was inappropriate. Please leave, Mr. Bamford."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe sudden tenderness before the abrupt coldness left Dexter at a loss for a moment.
He simply looked at her quietly. As their eyes met, he could even see his reflection in her pupils.
Her demeanor made it clear that she didn't care for him at all.
"Go back to sleep then," he said, standing up and leaving without hesitation.
The current Angela needed respect and understanding.
Watching his retreating back, Angela felt a mess of emotions.
What was she doing just now? She couldn't believe a snake had scared her so much she lost her composure.
Clearly, her body was too weak. She knew she needed to up her training intensity.
In the days that followed, she started intense training with Joanne.
During this period, she also made a trip to the hospital to check on Bill. Bill was recovering well. Evidently, he
still valued his life and hadn't gone so far as to destroy himself.
As the days went by and the one-month mark approached, speople in Graham Group began looking forward
to Angela's official takeover.
But even more people were pessimistic believing that under her leadership, Graham Group would barely stay
afloat, let alone thrive. They believed that it would already be a blessing if no incident occurred.
And right at this critical moment, Zack got into trouble.
The hospital called Angela, informing her that Zack had gotten into a fight, broken his arm, and was now
hospitalized.
Angela rushed over, only to hear Zack swearing loudly in the hospital room.
"You bunch of scumbags just can't stand seeing others doing well, huh? You don't have what it takes to be the
CEO, so you slander others? Why don't you just go to hell? Don't stop me! i curse them to death! Whoever tries
to stop me, I'll curse them too!
"I'm telling you now, | believe my sister is the best in the world! She deserves everything that belongs to the
Graham family! She will be the CEO! All of you can just stay jealous and resentful!"
Zack, resembling a crazed beast, roared louder and louder, his voice teetering on the edge of breaking.
Standing in the hallway, Angela felt a complicated mix of emotions.
This guy had done all this just to stand up for her.
Thankfully, she hadn't rushed in and scolded him without understanding the situation.
"Stop yelling. How's the nurse supposed to bandage you up with all that noise?" A voice cfrom inside the
room.
Angela froze in her tracks.
Dexter? Why was he here?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Don't worry about me, Dexter. | just can't stand those people. They broke my arm this time, but next time, even
if | have to risk my life, I'll fight them till the end! A bunch of idi ouch! That hurts!"
Zack winced in pain, his face contorting.
Right as Angela walked in, his expression changed instantly. His earlier arrogance vanished, replaced by
diffidence.
"Angie, you're here. Please, have a seat. It's so sunny outside; you must be hot, right?"
Angela replied coolly, "It's raining outside."
Zack beca little awkward. "Oh, really? Then did you bring an umbrella?"
