Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

First Love 31

Chapter 31

When Angela got home, she went straight to the bathroom for a shower. But every tshe closed her eyes, she

saw Dexter's reddened eyes.

He was truly furious today.

Angela felt a wave of irritation, but what worried her more was the thought of Dexter causing trouble for Finn.

After all, Dexter never cared about reason. He only acted based on his mood.

"Mrs. Bamford, Madam Fiona is here." Donna's nervous voice cfrom outside the bathroom.

Angela frowned. She hurriedly finished cleaning up, slipped into sloungewear, and rushed downstairs.

Fiona was already there, her elegant face as cold as ice. Before Angela could say a word, Fiona slapped her hard

across the face.

The sound rang out loud and clear. Angela's head snapped to the side, and a sharp, stinging pain spread across

her cheek.

“Angela, have | been too lenient with you? How dare you flirt with another man in broad daylight and humiliate

Dexter in front of everyone?" Fiona's voice was frosty.

Angela clenched her teeth as fury bubbled within her.

All the respect she had once held for Fiona felt laughable now. Without a second thought, she returned the slap.

The sound was equally resounding.

Caught off guard, Fiona stumbled, nearly falling to the ground. When she regained her balance, she found herself

staring into Angela's icy gaze.

"First of all, you've never been lenient to me. In this family, | rank below even the dogs. Second, | wasn't flirting

with anyone. Finn was invited by Grandpa, and we were merely accompanying him in a game.

"Third, the one constantly flirting is your son. If you want to yell, go yell at him. Catagain, and it won't

end with just a slap!"

Fiona's shock quickly turned to rage. She ground her teeth and barked, “What are you going to do?”

But then, as if recalling something, she shifted her tone abruptly. “Angela, I'll give you one last chance. Come

withto Bamford Manor right now."

Despite her anger, Angela hesitated. Why would she need to go to Bamford Manor?

"I'm not going," she said firmly.

"Mrs. Bamford, Mr. Bamford fell down the stairs and is still unconscious. You really should go see him, or Mr.

Bamford Sr. will be upset,” Flona's assistant cautiously interjected.

Angela's heart sank. Dexter was injured?

“Angela, | don't care what's going on between you and Dexter, but you'd better handle this properly today.

Otherwise, | won't let you off!" Fiona's glare was as sharp as a blade.

Before long, they arrived at Bamford Manor.

Joseph sent someone to usher them inside.

Fiona immediately asked them about Dexter's condition, but the lack of response only deepened the tension.

“Angie, you're finally here. Dexter's inside.” The moment Joseph saw Angela, his eyes lit up. He personally

escorted her to Dexter's room.

Trailing behind them, Fiona couldn't hide her displeasure.

"What happened, Grandpa?” Angela asked.

On the bed, Dexter lay pale and motionless. His forehead was wrapped in a bandage that was faintly stained

with blood.

"It's my fault," Joseph said with a heavy sigh. "I was trying to help bring you two closer, but things got out of

hand. Dexter must've been too upset. He collided with someone while going down the stairs and then...”
