Chapter 258
"Bribery? So you bought them off? | don't think that would work. They'll probably just mock you behind your
back." Dexter sounded a bit concerned.
"No, no." Angela continued, "Each of them was given a different gift."
Dexter looked a little shocked for a moment, then a glimmer of admiration showed in his eyes-though he quickly
masked it. "Explain."
Angela crossed her arms, looking triumphant as if she had the whole world in her grasp.
"Francis is obsessed with collecting antique artwork, so | sent him an antique painting that Bill had bought at an
overseas auction years ago.
"He was suspicious of my intentions, but he couldn't resist the allure of the artwork and ended up accepting it,
albeit hesitantly.
"As for Dale, he's a simple brute. He's not particularly capable but is obsessed with money. He's also as stingy as
they come. So, | gifted him a black card that had a million dollars on it. The one Grandma gaveback then

"What?" Dexter was stunned. "That card is one of only 30 in the world, and you just handed it over? What were

At that moment, Angela seemed like a cunning fox.
Dexter let out an amused huff. "And what about the last one?"
"Pete is Andrew's nephew. He's young and possesses strong leadership and management skills. However, he's
been held back by his mother for years and forced to work under Andrew. | didn't want to make an enemy of
him, so after much deliberation, | gave him an offer he couldn't refuse.
"I sent him an appointment letter for a general manager's position at one of our subsidiaries. On paper, it looks
like a demotion, but in reality, it's a promotion.
"| raised his annual salary to three million and gave him an additional 2% in shares. How could he not be
tempted?"
Angela stared into the distance, her mind conjuring up Pete's usually stoic expression.
He was always trailing behind Andrew. He rarely spoke but was ruthlessly efficient. Over the years, he had done
a lot for Andrew yet received little in return.
"Not bad." Dexter gave her an amused look. "I never knew you were this skilled at reading and controlling
people."
Angela waved her hand dismissively.
"it all from you. After being
by your side for so many years would be a real failure if | didn't pick upa thing or two."
Dexter was momentarily taken aback, as he hadn't expected her to say that. "Am |
