Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 302

It made sense that Dexter could easily stop them. He was indeed strong, being a well-built man who was over six feet tall.

However, Angela was just a weak woman weighing less than 100 pounds. How could she have such immense strength that the man couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried?

"Gentlemen," Angela said in a cold voice. "We have already made our stance clear. If this is indeed our fault, we will do what we can to handle the matter for the Sheppard family. But right now, we don't know all of the facts yet, and you're already resorting to violence? That's a bit excessive, don't you think?"

Her gaze was sharp, and every word was firm and assertive, dramatically changing the two men's expressions.

The main problem, however, was that they were at Dexter and Angela's mercy since they were unable to move.

At that moment, Amber's father, Russell Sheppard, walked over, his face dark with anger. He scolded his two younger brothers, "Do not be rude toward Mr. Bamford and Ms. Graham! Leave for now. I'll handle this matter."

Though he seemed to be reprimanding his brothers, he was actually hoping Angela and Dexter wouldn't do anything to them.

Angela promptly let go. The two men glared furiously at Zack before storming off in anger.

Suppressing his rage and irritation, Russell said, "Please come with me, you two."

Amber had been found in time, so her life wasn't in any danger. She had just woken up a moment ago. When Angela entered the room, she saw Elena holding Amber's hand, comforting her softly.

As soon as Amber saw them walk in, her expression changed. Her face twisted with sadness, and she immediately shrank behind Elena.

Angela stopped in her tracks, not making any attempts to move forward.

"Ms. Sheppard, how are you feeling?" she asked gently.

She had already noticed the bandages around Amber's wrist. Faint traces of blood could be seen seeping through. There was no denying just how bad the situation had been.

Amber shook her head, her voice hoarse. "Leave. I don't want to see any of you. Get out."

She merely spoke a few words, yet her voice came out strained and full of pain.

With how emotional Amber was, Angela gave Dexter a look and was just about to leave when Elena suddenly stood up.
