Chapter 265
The abrupt ringing of the phone shattered the stillness in the room, startling everyone present. Andrew answered impatiently, "Who is it?"
On the other end of the line, Angela replied with a smirk, "It's me, Mr. Graham. The deadline I set has passed, and I still haven't heard back from you. I've asked someone to clear the COO's office for the department of supervision, which was previously cramped in the executive office."
Andrew was furious. "How dare you!"
"Did I not inform you ahead of time? Oh, by the way, it seems you didn't select any of the options I proposed, so I've decided to take matters into my own hands.
"There's a small company in Cetol that opened a few years ago. If you're okay with it, you can start working there. I've sent all the relevant information to you via email."
In a moment of frustration, Andrew hurled his phone away before Angela could complete her sentence. All his life, he had enjoyed success at Graham Group, always managing to get what he desired.
Yet, he had never imagined he would face such a setback from Angela. It felt like he had fallen from great heights, and rising again seemed nearly impossible. He couldn't take it anymore.
"I need to get to the company immediately!" His voice shook, and he could hardly catch his breath. Despite the anger bubbling inside him, he rushed to Graham Group with his assistant, Laurence Zabel.
Meanwhile, over at Villa Heights, Zack scratched his head and asked hesitantly, "Angie, aren't you going too far? You're really cornering Andrew."
"He's likely heading to the office as we speak," Angela replied calmly. She had just come down from the guest room and was planning to make coffee, but Zack was still in the living room.
Zack was taken aback, and his face contorted in horror as he looked at Angela. "Oh my god, Angie, I'm so relieved I surrendered long ago. Do you know what his next step is?" swnovel
Angela glanced down at her delicate nails nonchalantly. "I'm not sure about his next move, and frankly, can't be bothered to guess. I've instructed Joanna to wait there.

Zack was amazed by how incredible Angela was. He felt overwhelmed staying in the living room with her; he needed to find a place to relax.
He strolled through the villa until he reached the study where Dexter was sitting. He knocked on the door and stepped inside. Upon entering, he noticed that Dexter was in a somber mood, sitting silently.

"Dexter, is something troubling you? Are you not feeling well?" he inquired.
At that moment, Dexter was clutching his chest, struggling to catch his breath. He urged, "Call a doctor for me."
Zack quickly got up and rushed to the living room. "Angie, Dexter is having trouble breathing. Call a doctor!"
Angela quickly called the hospital and then went to the study. Dexter leaned on the desk, resting his forehead on his hand, looking pained.
Angela was a bit panicked. "You... Are you alright?"
Dexter struggled to sit upright, his frigid face hauntingly pale. "Not dying."
"I'll get you a glass of water." Angela felt uneasy at the sight of him in this state.
