Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 414

Angela was stunned and looked at Dexter in astonishment. Then, she instinctively glanced at Joseph, who was seated at the head of the table.

Joseph frowned, looking helpless.

"Dexter, what do you mean by that?" Ursula asked with a displeased expression, staring at him intently. Her gaze carried a hint of provocation.

Joseph exclaimed impatiently, "Enough! Ursula, all of you should head back for now."

Ursula frowned, wanting to say something but ultimately holding back.

"Grandpa, Grandma, we'll be leaving first then." Mateo picked up his tablet and stood up, his expression calm and gentle.

Angela gazed over at him. Among Mateo, Trevor, and Dexter, Mateo appeared the gentlest. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and a white suit, radiating a unique warmth and elegance that suggested sophistication even without him needing to speak.

He was strong-willed and never compromised on the path his parents had arranged for him. If it weren't for Dexter being naturally gifted in business leadership, Ursula would have undoubtedly pressured Mateo into competing with him.

At least for now, Angela hadn't noticed anything off about Mateo.

"Angela, I'll be waiting for you outside. I have something to tell you," Cecilia whispered to Angela before following Mateo out.

It sounded more like a promise—almost like a vow. But as he spoke, he didn't look at her.

For some reason, he felt guilty and afraid. He dreaded the possibility that she might recall the past, let resentment take hold again, and take back the promise she'd made the night before.

Felix scoffed coldly. "Who'd believe that? Would she? She's so ruthless. She's done plenty of vicious things. She's just getting her revenge right now. Just wait; you'll see soon enough!"

Dexter chuckled. "I'm not afraid. Uncle Felix, starting today, you don't need to come back to the company. I'll arrange something else for you. If you behave yourself, you'll always be my beloved uncle. But if you keep acting like before… I can just as easily sever our connection."

Felix was furious. He found it absolutely absurd.
