Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 391

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Grandma. I truly can't lay eggs," Angela replied with amusement as she watched Natalie's livid face.

What was Natalie thinking? Did she want to turn the whole family upside down?

Natalie pointed at Angela. "You! Get out!" she snarled as she rose from her seat.

"Calm down, Grandma." Dexter, who'd been silent until now, spoke calmly. "We won't stop you from bringing Trevor into the family but don't expect others to welcome him with open arms."

His words instantly sent Natalie into a fury. "You too? He is your brother! He—"

"I have no brother. My mother had only one child—me," Dexter interjected coldly. "Also, if you continue to make unreasonable claims against my mother and my wife while favoring an outsider…"

He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued, "I'll send you away, and whatever you do after that is none of my business. "

"You piece of shit! It's all because of you that your mother and your wife dared to treat me with such disrespect!" Natalie's fury was now entirely directed toward Dexter.

"Respect is only given to those who deserve it. Think about it yourself," Dexter said as he took Angela by the hand and left.

On the way back, Angela was on her phone the whole time. The incident hadn't fazed her at all.

Dexter, who was driving, kept stealing glances at her. His words caught in his throat.

"What's with the hesitation? Stop being secretive and speak up," Angela said abruptly.

"Anyway, what matters now is that someone is making a scene there, causing all sorts of trouble for me. It's unbearable." Dexter sighed. "It's just that he's my uncle and has always treated me well. I can't force him out of the company just like that."

"So you want me to be the bad guy while keeping his reputation somewhat intact?" Angela chuckled, knowing why the situation was problematic for Dexter. He truly struggled to take a tough stance when it came to the people he cared about.

"Bingo." Dexter looked at her expectantly. "Right now, you're the only one qualified and capable to do so."

Without a second thought, she asked for the company's address and his uncle's details, promising to settle this matter within three days.

Knowing Angela's temper, Dexter couldn't help but remind her, "Remember, avoid having confrontations with him."
