Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 223

At that moment, Jordan was extremely agitated, trembling with a mix of fear and anger. He wanted to strangle Angela for being wretched enough to provoke him.

Angela smirked. "It's quite straightforward. Return the money you embezzled and refrain from repeating such actions. If not, I'll forward the evidence to the police, and your life as you know it will be over."

Jordan's complexion drained of color as he forced a smile, saying, "Of course..."

Angela gestured with an open hand and added, "When it comes to other matters, that's entirely your own business. Who you like or want to be with is completely unrelated to me."

Jordan felt slightly more relieved. He decided to send his mistress away when he got back and cut off contact for now.

"But if this scandal were to come to light, it could have serious consequences, especially for your wife..."

Jordan asked coldly, "What do you want me to do? Just be direct."

Angela replied indifferently, "Alright. I need you to stand by my side."

...

The following morning, Angela arrived at the company.

Andrew and others had called the board of directors to meet once more, ostensibly to host a welcome ceremony for Angela.

However, when Angela arrived, the atmosphere in the conference room was anything but welcoming—it was tense and foreboding.

Initially, the group exchanged polite greetings. However, after a while, it became increasingly clear that something was amiss.

Andrew was surprised by how easy it was to convince Angela and how quickly she agreed.

He then announced, "Alright. It's better to do this now rather than later. Everyone present is a senior executive and has the right to vote. Regardless of the outcome, I'll fully accept it. What do you think?"

Angela maintained a radiant smile, appearing unfazed by the scene. She replied, "I'm fine with it."

Soon, all the necessary arrangements were efficiently organized by the secretary.

The election rules were straightforward. There was a total of 63 ballots, with each individual allowed to vote for a single candidate. The winner would be the one who received the highest number of votes.

Angela sat at the main seat, twirling a pen between her fingers out of boredom. As everyone whispered around her, she glanced at the crowd confidently and fearlessly.
