Chapter 227

Once the meeting concluded, Angela invited Clara to her office. After shutting the door, she could finally relax. She took a sip of water as she steadied her

heartbeat.

Clara eagerly closed the blinds, her face glowing with excitement.

"Wow, Angela! You were absolutely fantastic just now! Did you see their expressions? They looked like they had just eaten something awful. You're incredible! How did you come up with so many ideas?"

Clara quickly moved a chair to sit next to Angela, but she was so thrilled that she struggled to speak clearly.

Angela grinned. "I heard that this management style is incredibly ruthless yet remarkably effective. So I was eager to give it a try."

"Who told you about these tricks? Was it Mr. Bamford? Or Mr. Snowden?" Clara was curious.

Angela simply responded with a smile.

After work, she bought ingredients from a nearby supermarket and prepared barbecue at home while waiting for Dexter and Fiona. She had informed them beforehand, so they arrived one after the other.

"Why did you suddenly decide on having a barbecue? It smells amazing! Did you also get some seafood?" Fiona inquired as she changed her shoes.

Angela glanced at Dexter, feeling a bit uneasy. "I did it to thank Mr. Bamford for his generous support. You have no idea how much he's helped me this time."

Fiona's curiosity was piqued. "What did he do for you? I'm dying to know."

Angela then recounted everything that transpired at Graham Group over the last two days.

Fiona looked into her eyes, filled with so much excitement that she nearly forgot to eat. "You truly are incredible! When you stood up to them, did you feel scared or uncertain at all?"

"Not really. I'd prepared everything last month and had the intel Mr. Bamford provided. I know their weaknesses well, so it was easy for me to handle them," Angela replied while placing some grilled prawns on Fiona's plate.

Fiona gave her a thumbs-up and praised, "My former daughter-in-law is so outstanding."

Angela was speechless. She couldn't help but find Fiona amusing.

Yet, Dexter snorted coldly as he ate elegantly.

He said calmly, "I've done you a considerable favor, yet all you offer me in return

is a barbecue. That feels quite insincere."

Angela felt a pang of guilt as she remembered just how much he had actually helped her.

"Mr. Bamford, what else can I do for you?"

Dexter placed the food aside, looked into her eyes, and said, "Zayn is having his engagement ceremony next Saturday. Come with me."

Angela initially planned to refuse.

"Are you going or not?" Dexter asked more seriously. It sounded as though he thought she lacked

Angela hesitated for a while. Ultimately, they were still a married couple in the eyes of the public. She couldn't bear to undermine him.

Hence, she replied, "Alright, but I'll only focus on eating and won't take care of anything else."

A glimmer of relief shone in Dexter's eyes. "I honestly didn't expect you to do anything."

Over the next few days, Angela took many decisive actions at Graham Group.

She held a meeting with the entire supervision department, delivering stern warnings and organizing them into teams. Their goal was to identify and exploit the employees'
