Chapter 140
Zack looked embarrassed. "It was those so-called friends of mine who ate everything. | only had two sodas, and
now my stomach's completely empty.
"They tricked me. They ordered all the most expensive stuff, and | didn't have enough money to pay. I... Anyway,
I'm never treating them to a meal again."
“And you still don't realize how foolish you were by counting their money after they sold you out," Angela said
sternly.
The three of them went to an Eastern cuisine restaurant, and all the dishes they ordered were Zack's favorites.
As soon as the food arrived, he dug in with enthusiasm.
His carefree, oblivious demeanor was frustrating to watch.
"By the way, | need to discuss something with you,” Angela said. "I want to join the family business, and | need
your help."
"What kind of help?” Zack asked, his mouth full of seafood. “But if it's work-related, don't bother. | have no say
with Dad. He doesn't think much of me."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAngela lowered her head, thinking for a moment, then smiled slyly. "You don't need to do much. Just make them
believe that the story about them organizing my funeral has already spread far and wide. Their reputation is
ruined now.
"That's all | need, understand?"
“Aren't you worried I'll betray you?” Zack raised an eyebrow, trying to seem clever, though he still appeared
clueless.
"You won't,” Angela said calmly, her smile serene. "Unless you plan to keep it from me. Otherwise, the three
million dollars you owe me...
“Okay, | agree!" Zack hurriedly put on a fawning smile.
After Zack left, Dexter drove Angela home.
He seemed to be in a better mood today. The usual cold, intimidating aura around him had lightened, making
him less frightening.
Angela appeared a bit distracted.
"Do you need help?" Dexter suddenly asked.
“What?” Angela snapped back to reality.
"Your father-he's timid, overly cautious, and won't give in unless it affects his core interests, “he said. "lI can't
help directly, but | can create smomentum.
“Let everyone believe that Bill treats his daughter terribly. Ruin his reputation enough, and he'll have no choice
but to compromise."

Dexter's influence was far greater than Zack's. It would be swift, effective, and untraceable if he acted.
However, Angela hesitated to owe him a favor. She had her reservations.
"Don't worry," Dexter said suddenly. "Consider it my apology to you."
His words were abrupt, but Angela immediately understood.
Fine, she thought. If someone was offering, there was no reason to waste the opportunity.
"Thank you,” she said coolly.
Overnight, scandalous rumors about Bill abusing his daughter spread like wildfire.
“Oh my god, this Mr. Graham married a new wife, had a new son, and completely forgot about his daughter from
his first marriage."
"He didn't even check if she was alive before holding a funeral. What kind of person does that?

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I heard he constantly asks his daughter for money, treating her like an ATM, but won't even let her come
home. That's just too cruel. Looks like with a stepmother, there's always a stepfather."
The gossip was endless.
Once again, Angela becthe center of attention.
Callum, looking to repair relations with Graham Group, proposed an export project that needed a manufacturing
partner.
In this area, Graham Group had the necessary capabilities.
"Ms. Graham, someone's here to see you," someone reported.
Before anyone could respond, the person had already stormed into the office.
“Angela, get out here! What nonsense have you been feeding the media? This is absolutely ridiculous! When
have | ever abused you? You'd better explain yourself right now!"
