Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 

Zion let out a crazed laugh. With his face flushed from the toxin, he looked almost comical. 

He sneered in a mocking tone, “Angela? She slept her way up. She’s got no real skills. You idiots fell for her sweet talk–ah!” 

Before he could finish, his face hit the muddy floor. The earthy smell filled his nose, nearly making him gag. 

“How dare you insult her! I’ll make you-

“So are you going to compete in his place?” Alan asked.

definitely wasn’t going to talk to Dexter. 

After some thought, she sent a message to Finn, telling him she thought her first round went well. 

Finn replied right away, congratulating her and sending two cute cat stickers. 

Seeing the stickers, Angela chuckled and replied with some silly memes she had saved from Alan.
