Angela couldn’t quite explain it, but whenever Callum was in front of her, she could feel his genuine care for her, as if he were an elder sibling of hers.
This feeling was both grounding and reassuring
“We’ll first extend an olive branch to Graham Group and show Bill your worth. Then, I’ll propose that if they want to keep working with DawnStar long–term, they’ll need to reinstate you. He surely won’t say no.” Callum maintained his smile, his expression as warm as the sun.
Angela gave a solemn nod. “Thank you, Mr. Snowden. Your immense kindness and support can only be repaid by more hard work from me.”
Originally, she had planned to build her reputation and gather strength here before daring to confront Bill as an equal.
She hadn’t expected Callum to offer her such an opportunity voluntarily. It was almost unbelievable.
“However…” Callum sighed lightly. “Even after you return to Graham Group, you’ll still need to remain DawnStar’s specially contracted designer.”
Angela froze again, her eyes fixed on the man before her. She felt so grateful she couldn’t find the words to express it.
He still wanted to back her up.
After all, Bill was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong, constantly weighing the pros and cons.
If she immediately joined Graham Group, it would surely arouse Bill’s suspicion and resistance, making her path of revenge much more difficult.
However, if she remained affiliated with DawnStar, Bill would have to tread cautiously and be hesitant to act too defensively against an “outsider.”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Snowden.” Angela thanked him with tears brimming in her eyes.
“Alright, go and rest,” Callum said with a hint of helplessness.
As soon as Angela left, Finn stepped out of the room behind Callum.
“So, are you satisfied now?” Callum sighed. “If you wanted to help her, why couldn’t you just do it openly? Why hide?”
Finn sat beside his brother. “You won’t understand. I don’t want her to feel burdened.”
“What if she becomes so grateful to me that she ends up falling for me instead?” With a raised eyebrow, Callum smirked, his cold face suddenly alive with humor.
Finn bristled immediately. “That’s impossible. She doesn’t like old men!”

Callum was speechless. Was he old? He was only 30!
That afternoon, Angela received a call saying Zack had been caught dining and dashing, and they called her since she was his sister.
Angela was at a loss for words.
Initially, she didn’t want to do anything about it, but recalling the few decent words Zack had said at the funeral, she reconsidered it and decided to drive over.
But to her surprise, Zack had already been helped by the time she arrived.
“Angie, why are you only here now? If it weren’t for your husband eating here as well and running into me, I’d probably have lost a finger by now.” Seeing Angela, Zack scampered over eagerly.
