Through gritted teeth, Bill said, "I confronted that vicious woman and questioned her whether or not she
abducted Linda and her daughter, but she denied it completely! How utterly despicable! And now, she even
poisonedto try to kill me. That woman is just..."
He coughed violently, unable to finish his words.
Angela froze, instinctively glancing at Dexter. So, that was the reason.
Dexter, equally stunned, realized he had inadvertently becthe trigger for the couple's fallout. However, he
had no intention of apologizing or explaining himself.
"So, what do you plan to do now?" Angela asked calmly, her tone betraying no emotion.
The pale Bill replied weakly, "Of course, getthe antidote and save my life first. Everything else can wait."
"I can get someone to neutralize the poison, but you have to agree to one condition—give her another 10% of
the shares," Dexter said coolly.
Bill felt like he could cough up blood from rage at this point. Once again, they were making outrageous demands.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was no way he'd agree to give away his most precious asset!
"Y-You've been targeting the company all along! You don't even seeas your father!" Bill tried to guilt-trip her.
Angela chuckled, saying, "I'm also your child, yet you've never considered lettinginherit the family business.
Isn't that favoritism as well? Look at you now- you're on the brink of death and still unwilling to give up
something so intangible. Clearly, you don't value your own life either."
"I'd rather give them to Zack! At least he cares about me!" Bill retorted furiously.
Zack quickly waved his hands. "Hey, hey, | don't want your shares at all! Just give them to Angie. She can give
knows this company..."
He left the rest unsaid.
Deep down, Zack knew the truth-this company was built by Angela's maternal grandfather and was the
culmination of Angela's mother's lifelong effort.
If he took the shares from Bill, he could forget about ever leaning on Angela again.
Bill stared at his son, dumbfounded. "You... You..."
This time, he really did cough up blood.
He had only married Judy because she bore him a son, but this so-called 'son was entirely unambitious. Had he
known this earlier, he would've cut ties with Judy long ago!
"You
his..." His voice trembled,
his chest tight with pain. His entire ke body was in agony, as though he might breathe his last at anyo moment.
"Dad, can you still not see the situation you're in? Angie is the more capable one. You might even need~~~ to
rely on her in the future. Just sign the pagers and spare yourself another brush with death," Zack said earnestly,
gripping Bill's hand in a gesture of reassurance.
Meanwhile, Dexter had already arranged for two copies of the share transfer agreement to be printed.
"That was quick," Angela remarked as she flipped through the documents. Dexter actually wanted to secure 15%
for her.
If Bill signed this, Angela would becthe largest shareholder of Graham

"No way," Bill growled, clenching his teeth. "That's too much!"
He had spent half his life bending over backward for the father and daughter of
the Jetson family just to wrest control of the company.
Now, after only a few years of enjoying it, he was expected to give it all up. There was just no way he would!
"Then we're leaving," Angela said, turning to leave with Dexter following without hesitation.
Zack quickly blocked their way and shut the door. "Angie, Dexter, please be the bigger people. Don't stoop to his
level—just lettalk to him."
