"What is the PR department doing? How are they this oblivious? If Audrey Hebert can't even handle this, I might as well find someone else who can!"
Gritting her teeth, Angela demanded that the PR department suppress the news within an hour.
Dexter turned to glance at her. "Don't be mad. Being angry is bad for your health."
"That damn idiot! He finally calmed down for a while, and now he's acting up again. I really can't deal with this. Of all the things he could do, he just has to mess around with those people and get himself into such a huge mess. He's absolutely insane! Why doesn't he just—"
"Calm down." With a helpless sigh, Dexter handed her a bottle of water.
Angela took a deep breath before exhaling hard. "I can't calm down."
She really couldn't. She felt that all the time she had spent trying to change Zack for the better had amounted to nothing. He was still as reckless and dumb as ever!
"A great leader stays composed in the face of adversity. Besides, there's a real chance it wasn't intentional on his part," Dexter remarked.
Angela scoffed. "Others may not know what he's like, but I do. If I don't keep that brat in check for three days, he turns the world upside down. How did I end up with such a foolish brother?"
"To be fair, he's not exactly a full brother to you." Dexter raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean by that? Is he not Bill's son?" Angela's voice suddenly rose, her emotions getting the better of her.
Pressing his lips together, Dexter steered the car toward the hospital. "See? You actually care about your brother a lot. You may be harsh on him, but you're just a big softie."
Angela didn't say anything in response. At this moment, she didn't want to think about whether she and Zack were closely related or not.
All she wanted was to find Zack, grab his ear, slap him twice, and then demand an explanation. If he couldn't give a clear answer, she'd smack him right out of the room.
Dexter led her to a hospital room.
