Chapter 16
Kevin hung his head, his face riddled with guilt. “Mr. Sinir, we’re still investigating. But we couldn’t
find Ms. Lewis from the surveince after she left the vi. It’s hard to track her. We haven’t
pinpointed her exact location yer”
“Keep searchingTM”
After Kevin left, Keh became increasingly agitated and couldn’t even focus on the documents in
his hand.
It was past midnight when Ang returned to the vi at Northpoint.
She could barely hold herself upright when she opened the door. As soon as she stepped inside,
she could no longer stand straight and slumped to the floor.
Suddenly, someone held her waist from behind. Ang tried to open her eyes to see who it was,
but her eyelids were too heavy to lift.
Before shepletely lost consciousness, she heard a barely audible sigh.
Waking up again, Ang found her wounds had already been bandaged. She struggled to sit up,
draped a robe over herself and forced herself to
walk out.
She broke into a sweat before she could even reach downstairs
Hearing noises from the kitchen, Ang was about to
over when Patrick car
came out carrying a bowl of beef stew
He was surprised upon seeing Ang and hastily put down the stew, hurrying over to support her.
“The doctor said you need to rest
Before he could continue, a dagger pressed against his throat.
“Why are you here?” Ang’s voice was cold, devoid of its usual warmth.
She had already suspicious.

Patrick not toe here again, and he appeared right after she was injuredst night. It was just
too coincidental,

Patrick paused for a moment, then looked at her, saying, “I left a script here and came to take it
That’s when I saw you fall. After helping you up, I realized you were injured, so I called a doctor to
bandage your wounds,”
Seeing Ang unconvinced, Patrick spoke with a hint of resignation. “If I really wanted to harm
you, do you think you’d still be alive right now!”
After a moment of silence, Ang finally lowered the dagger and looked at Patrick. “Sorry, I
misunderstood you.”
Patrick smiled, “Never mind, and don’t worry. I won’t ask any questions. The doctor I found for you
will also keep his mouth shut.”
“Okay”
Seeing Ang finally at case, Patrick handed her the bowl of beef stew and said, “Eat something
first. You’ve lost a lot of blood. You need to eat.
“Thank you,” Ang said softly before eating when suddenly the doorbell rang.
Patrick walked to the door. His eyes narrowed as he saw Keh outside, and he opened the
door.
Mr. Sinir, Ang is
Before he could finish, Keh pushed him aside, striding into the room.
Seeing Ang sitting at the dining table in her pajamas, eating beef stew, Keh asked coldly,
“Ang, have you been fooling around with this pretty boy the entire time you’ve been missing?”
Before Ang could respond, Patrick spoke up. “Please don’t misunderstand, Mr. Sinir. Ang
was…
His words were sharply cut off by Keh. “I wasn’t talking to you! Ang isn’t mare. She can
speak for herself!”
Patrick looked displeased as he frowned, “You are Ang’s husband, yet you don’t know what she
has been through these days…”
“Patrick!” Ang stopped him.
She took a deep breath and looked at him calmly. “Thank you for taking care of me. You should go
back now, and I’ll treat you to dinner another
Patrick lowered his gaze with a sense of loss and nodded. “Alright, take good care of yourself,”
After grabbing his script, Patrick left.
Now that only Ang and Keh remained, an oppressive silence spread in the living room
Watching Ang eat the beef stew nonchntly, Keh sneered. “Don’t you think you owe me an
exnation!”
Ang didn’t respond. She stood up, walked over to the drawer near the TV, took out a card, and
put it on the table. “There’s 10 million dors in this card. Let’s go finalize our divorce tomorrow,”
she said indifferently.
“Angl” Keh red at her, grabbed her wrist, and said collly, “What is going on between you
and Patrick?”
Ang nearly stumbled from his grip. She looked up at him impatiently. “It’s exactly as you saw.
I’ve prepared the 10 million dors for you. Can we get a divorce now!”
pay you this 10 million dors for spending these days with him! Patrick’s really generous, huh? You
think
Keh neered, his eyes cold, “Did he pa you’re worth that much?”
Seeing his undisguised scorn and disdain, Ang frowned. “Where the moneyes
es from is none of your concern. Don’t forget, you said give you this money, we would divorce!
Keh mmed the bank card on the table, staring into Ang’s eyes. “You whored to get this
money. Maybe you don’t think it’s diny,
Ang looked at him angrily.

my, but I doft
“I set the rules, and I won’t take this money. Nor will I agree to a divorce!”
Watching the anger on his face, Ang couldn’t help but sneer, “Keh, I’m surprised at how
generous you are. You believe I had an affair with Patrick and still refuse to divorce. I must say, I’m
impressed!”
Keh looked at her with a stern Exce. “You betrayed me. Why should I make it easy for you?”
“Suit yourself. I’ve already offered the money, and you are the one refusing it. If you disagree, I’ll
just file for divorce
“Go ahead! Try it and see who dares to take your case!”
With that, Keh turned and left abruptly
After holding on for so long. Ang had reached her limit and copsed onto the chair. Her
abdomen started to bleed again.
In the following days, Ang stayed in the vi, healing her wounds, only returning to work when
she felt better.
On her first day back at work, Frank started mocking Ang during a meeting.
“Ms. Lewis, you disappeared for a few days after offending Mr. Wilson. I really wonder if you have
any sense of responsibility as a CEO?
Ang sneered and mmed the documents onto the table, staring at Frank sternly, “I’d also like to
ask you something. Mr. ck. You knew very well that Mr. Wilson is nothing but a pervert. Why did
you still make me deal with him? What exactly were you thinking?”
Frank was caught off guard by Ang’s straightforwardness. He gritted his teeth and retorted. “Mr.
Wilson is a major client of ourpany. A linde sacrifice is nothing if we can close the deal with
him. Ms. Lewis, you can’t even grasp the concept of sacrifice. How can we trust you to run the
company?”
Ang didn’t want to let Frank get his way and replied coldly. “Since you’re so keen on making
sacrifices, why don’t you go and sleep with your Peter! If you manage to make the deal, I’ll greatly
reward your
Frank was seething with anger, his face livid. He mned the table furiously and stormed out.
Ang seemed indifferent. “Let’s continue the meeting.”
After the meeting, Ang asked Garret to stay behind for a pr
a private word.
Garret felt a bit uneasy but managed to maintain aposed face. “Ms. Lewis, is there something
you need from me?”

Ang looked at Garret and smiled, “Nothing serious, Mr. Taylor, just a friendly reminder to you not
to pick the wrong side. Or you might end up with nothing.”

lost it all three years ago, Bernda wouldn’t have had to give Garret a 10% stake in Empyria Group
to cover the debt making Garret a ahureholder of thepany
If he could simply be a good shareholder, that would be fine. But if he tried to stir up trouble behind
the scenes, Ang wouldn’t hesitate to kick
Hearing this, Garret temained smiling, ‘Don’t worry, M
Mc Lewis. I won’t be picking sides. I only stand for myself:
12:19 PM
“Great!”
As Ang returned to the vi that evening, she saw Keh standing at the entrance,
She frowned, intending to ignore Keh and walk past him, but he suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“Ang,e back with mel”
