Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

Chapter 293

Bill's request was passed on to Fiona since Dexter had been staying by Angela's side for days and was completely oblivious to everything going on outside.

After much thought, Fiona decided to personally bring Bill over. After all, he was Angela's father, and perhaps his presence might help her recovery.

Bill, ever the actor, managed to put on a performance. When he saw Angela lying in bed, barely clinging to life, he even feigned a few tears and asked a lot of questions. But gradually, his tone began to shift.

"Dexter, a company can't be without a boss for even a day. With Angela in her current state, I can't help but worry. But the company still needs someone at the helm. How about... I bear the burden for a few days and manage in her stead?"

Bill's face maintained just the right expression of pained sorrow as if he were terrified of revealing his true self.

"That won't be necessary," Fiona interjected before Dexter could speak. "Clara will temporarily take over Angela's duties at the company. Dexter and I will assist from the sidelines so that the company doesn't descend into chaos."

"B-but..... I know the company best. Everyone in the company is more familiar with me... Wouldn't it be better if I managed things?" Bill became anxious, his voice growing frantic.

Suddenly, Dexter turned and shot him a look.

As their eyes met, Bill's expression stiffened. He instinctively stepped back, nearly collapsing onto the floor.
