Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 252

Angela immediately saw through Harvey's insinuation but didn't rush to defend herself.

Instead, she maintained her composure and said calmly, "To be honest, before taking over as CEO of Graham Group, I'd already worked in its design department for some time as an observer from DawnStar Co.

"During that time, I saw all of Graham Group's shortcomings and had various discussions with my father, Mr. Bill Graham. Many of my decisions were made after consulting him—of course, some of them were also my own ideas. Mr. Collins, I have always believed in one thing—the student surpassing the teacher."

It was clear that others had no real understanding of what she had done or not done. As such, she only needed to make her stance clear.

At the very least, this kind of business partner had their own guiding principles.

The doubt in Harvey's eyes gradually faded as he looked at her, even showing a trace of admiration.

Angela let out a subtle sigh of relief—it looked like her strategy had worked.

"Angela! Angela, show yourself!" A sharp male voice suddenly rang out.

Instinctively tensing, Angela turned toward the sound, only to see Sean swaggering toward her with a group of people, his gait oddly crab-like.

She immediately sensed trouble and gave Clara a meaningful glance.

Clara immediately stepped forward but was shoved aside by Sean. "Angela, I'm here to settle the score with you."

He hadn't shown up before this, and she doubted he would have shown up after. He just had to appear the moment Harvey arrived. If this wasn't deliberate, she'd be damned.

Angela sneered inwardly but kept a composed expression. Turning to Harvey, she said, "Mr. Collins, would you mind waiting in the reception area for a moment?"

She had no intention of showing even a hint of weakness or disorder in front of an important guest.
