    Then, Ang pushed open the car door and stepped out, heading back to the vi. The ck


    Maybach paused for a moment before finally driving away from her in the opposite direction.


    Inside the car, Keh watched Ang’s diminishing figure in the rearview mirror, feeling a sense


    of irritation.


    He couldn’t understand why the usually gentle Ang was being so stubborn this time. He had


    even lowered his pride to actively seek her out, yet she still wanted a divorce.


    However, the immediate concern was to check on Jennifer first. So, Keh nned to have a


    proper conversation with Angter.


    Soon, Ang received a call from Patrick while heading uphill.


    “Ang, where are you now?”


    Hearing his anxious tone, Ang felt a warmth in her heart.


    “I’m halfway up the mountain, on my way back.


    “What about Mr. Sinir?” Patrick asked.


    Ang replied emotionlessly, “He left.”


    “He left you alone halfway up the mountain in the middle of the night? Ile pick you up, wait for


    me!”


    Without giving Ang a chance to refuse, Patrick hung up the phone.


    Ang put away her phone and stood at the side of the road, waiting for Patrick.


    When he arrived, Ang was kicking stones in boredom.


    Hearing the roar of the engine, she looked up to see Patrick’s car stopping in front of her.


    Patrick opened the door and, relieved to see Ang unharmed, quickly walked over to her, opening


    the passenger door.


    “Ang, get in.”


    Seeing his considerate gesture, Ang couldn’t help but smile, teasing, “No wonder so many girls


    want to be your girlfriend. You’re just too chivalrous.”


    Patrick also smiled, “What about you? Do you think I would make a good boyfriend?”


    Seeing his nonchnt expression, Ang yed along and nodded. “Of course. You’d definitely be


    a perfect boyfriend.”


    Patrick seemed disappointed, but he remained smiling and said, “Unfortunately, the person I like


    doesn’t like me back.”


    Ang gently patted his shoulder in constion. “What a coincidence. He doesn’t like me back,


    either.”


    Patrick shook his head with a bitter smile. “Your constion sucks. Now I feel even worse.”

    “Alright, let’s go back to the vi. I have to start work tomorrow.”


    Patrick raised an eyebrow. “Are youing back to be my manager?”


    “Nope. Besides, you already have a manager. It’s impossible for us to work together again.”


    Patrick smiled but didn’t say anything more..

    Back at the vi, the coffee had already gone cold, and Ang was no longer interested in drinking


    it. After exchanging a good night with


    Patrick, she went back to her room.


    Early the next morning, Ang got up, freshened up, and went downstairs. Seeing Brenda already


    waiting for her in the living room, Ang hurried downstairs.


    “Ms. Taylor, would you like to consider letting me take another day off? Ang asked.


    Brenda sneered wickedly, throwing a stack of documents into Ang’s arms.


    ‘ve been on a break for three years, and you still want more rest? On your way to the office, you


    must go through all these documents. We have a tough battle to fight today!”


    Ang looked at the files in her arms, somewhat speechless. “Come on, it’s my first day! Can’t


    I have something easier?”


    “Stop it. During your absence, those idiots nearly overturned Empyria Group. They filled the


    company with their rtives, just a bunch of freeloaders who only take money without working. If


    you just stand by and watch, thepany will copse in no time!”


    Ang was speechless.


    On the way to thepany, Brenda couldn’t resist her gossiping instincts.


    “By the way, I saw the rising movie star, Patrick, at your house this moming. You just got divorced


    from Keh not long ago, and you’re already keeping a celebrity?”


    Ang’s gaze shifted from the documents to Brenda’s face. She spoke seriously. “First, Patrick


    and I are just friends. Second finalized the divorce with Keh, so technically, he’s not my ex–


    husband yet.”


    Brenda’s eyes shed with shock. “So, you haven’t divorced Keh yet, but you’re already


    keeping a movie star? How thrilling!”


    “Did you even understand what I said?” Ang raised an eyebrow.


    Brenda lifted her chin. “Of course, I’m not an idiot.”


    Ang asked, “Are you sure you’re not an idiot?”


    “Bah, Ang. Just shut up!‘


    Ang didn’t say anything more and continued to read the documents.


    After a short while, her phone suddenly rang.


    Seeing an unfamiliar number, Ang felt puzzled.


    16:54


    Answering the call, she was greeted by Keh’s angry voice.


    “Ang, take my number off the cklist!”


    Ang instantly hung up the call, turned off her phone, and tossed it to Brenda. “Get me a new SIM


    card and deactivate this one.”


    Brenda, recalling Ang’s teasing earlier, deliberately said in a sarcastic tone, “I’m not your


    secretary! Don’t ask me to do it”


    Ang closed the files, raised an eyebrow, and said, “Sure, since Empyria Group is on the brink of


    copse, let’s just file for bankruptcy.”


    I


    “No, no, please, Your Majesty, I was wrong. I’ll get it done for you right away, okay?” Brenda


    pleaded.


    Ang looked at her fawning appearance and couldn’t help but tease, “It was just a joke. Don’t take


    it seriously.”


    Brenda looked at her speechlessly.


    After Ang arrived at Empyria Group, her first task was to convene a shareholders‘ meeting.


    An hourter, the usually domineering shareholders walked out of the meeting room one by one,


    their faces filled with anger.


    Soon, only Brenda and Ang were left in the conference room.


    Brenda gave Ang a big thumb up, admiringly saying, “Ms. Lewis, that was very impressive!


    It was so satisfying watching you put those old folks in their ces. I’ve never seen them take such


    a blow before.”


    Ang nced at Brenda and said tly, “Immediatelypile a list of those shareholders‘


    incapable rtives or friends and give it to me. We’ll startyoffs tomorrow.”


    Brenda seemed surprised. “So soon? Those old folks just suffered great losses today, and now you


    want to kick out those under their protection. It might provoke their dissatisfaction.”


    “Anyone who has an issue can


    ine to my office and talk to me.”


    With that, Ang stood up and left. She already had a rough idea of Empyria Group’s


    problems, and if not addressed prom would likely go bankrupt before next year.


    Back in her office after three years, Ang didn’t have much time for sentimentality. So, she


    immediately started working-


    In less than an hour, the news of the return of Empyria Group’s founder spread throughout the


    entire business circle in Lithoria.

    pany


    However, Ang had never appeared in public before, making her a mysterious figure. Everyone


    spected whether her return was to pull Empyria Group back from the brink of bankruptcy.


    Meanwhile, Keh was in his office.


    Keh was still trying to contact Ang, but her phone was already powered off, and his patience


    was gradually running out.


    As soon as Kevin entered the office, he felt like he was in an icy abyss, and he didn’t even dare to


    walk briskly.


    “Mr. Sinir, our n to acquire Empyria Group may need to be put on hold. I heard that the


    founder of Empyria Group returned today.” Keh frowned, absentmindedly saying, “Continue


    with the acquisition n, add another 20 million dors on top of the original offer.”


    “Back then, the founder of Empyria Group suddenly rose to prominence in the business world and


    then retired abruptly. This time, I guess her purpose is to save Empyria Group. If you want an


    acquisition, Empyria Group might not be the best choice,” Kevin said.


    Keh remained indifferent as he stated, “Continue with the acquisition. Add more money if


    needed. Don’t make me repeat again! Also, send someone to guard at the entrance of Patrick’s


    vi. Notify me immediately if Ang appears.”


    “Yes, Mr. Sinir,”


    Kevin sensed Keh’s impatience and felt quite puzzled. He knew Keh liked Jennifer, so he


    didn’t understand why Keh was unwilling to divorce Ang and marry Jennifer instead.


    However, this was Keh’s private matter, and Kevin was in no position to intervene. For now, he


    could only follow Keh’s orders.


    “By the way, Mr. Sinir, the Tears of the Angel you ordered at Nebulora have arrived. Would you


    like to give it to Ms. Lewis in person?”


    The Tears of the Angel was a ne featuring a blue drop–shaped gem as the main stone,


    adorned with thousands of diamonds. When sparkling under the lights, it was extremely captivating


    and beautiful.


    When Keh first saw it, he knew it would suit Ang perfectly. So, he had immediately


    purchased it as a third anniversary gift for her. However, due to their recent argument, he had


    pushed this matter aside.


    h pressed his lips and said indifferently, “Okay. I’ll give it to her in person.”


    Kevin left after delivering the Tears of the Angel to Keh’s office. Keh picked up a file but


    failed to focus on it. His mind was filled with Ang’s determined departure from the previous night.


    Frustrated, he closed the file. This sense of loss left him feeling disoriented.


    Just as Keh was about to get some fresh air, his phone suddenly rang.
