Chapter 20
Back then, Miles had gone to great lengths to have Lionel acknowledged by the Bamfords.
"I understand," Dexter replied indifferently.
Fiona was used to his attitude by now.
“Cwith me,” she said, pointing at Angela. Then, she left without looking back.
They walked into the study one after another.
Fiona got straight to the point. “Angela, I've heard that you've changed a lot these past few dave
I'm warning you-don't go causing unnecessary trouble. Stay here and fulfill your duties as Mrs. Bamford."
In the past, Angela wouldn't have dared to say anything in response. But now, she refused to endure such
commands and suffer in silence.
Angela countered, "What exactly are the duties of Mrs. Bamford? Do those include serving drinks, doing laundry,
and cooking? Or is it to be humiliated by my husband's secretary or to be a birthing machine?"
She looked at Fiona with a faint smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. On top of that, she even stared back at

Fiona froze at her bold response. She was both surprised and irritated.
"If you're unwilling to do these things, there are plenty of others who would. Don't forget that you were the one
who insisted on marrying Dexter in the first place. Have you forgotten that?" Fiona's tone grew colder, and the
imposing air she exuded intensified.
Angela could barely breathe. She finally realized just how foolish she had been all these years. “Yes, | was a fool
back then. But now I-
"So, you've cto your senses now?” Fiona asked mockingly as a smirk graced her red lips.
"Fine. You can move out of here and stay with Donna and the others. I'll have someone else take over your
duties. But as for the events you're supposed to attend, you must still show up." Fiona crossed her arms, looking
Angela up and down with disdain.
After a slight pause and taking in Angela's expression, she pressed on, “What's the matter? You don't want to?"
She chuckled coldly, refined and regal as always. "Speople can bargain-because they have something to
back them up. But do you have that?"
Her tone was frosty, and each word she spoke was merciless, piercing Angela in the spot where it hurt the most.

Angela responded, "Yes, it's true that | have no backing, But don't forget that I've been living in Bamford Estate
for three years. | know every little detail of this place.
“So, if | wanted to destroy something, no one could do it faster than I could. Compared to you, I'm just a lowly
insect. But that's precisely why | have nothing to lose. Don't you expert
After saying that, Angela clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves with a cold, steely in her eyes.
“And would you dare to do that?" Fiona narrowed her eyes at Angela frostity,
Angela shrugged and replied, "No, not really. | simply hoped to regain a shred of dignity in front of you. But
you're so used to looking down on others, you've forgotten how to treat anyone as an equal."
Despite her claim that she wouldn't dare do something like that, her expression was bold and defiant. Fiona
frowned as she stared coldly at Angela. The latter had always been so submissive, yet she was talking about
respect and dignity now.
"Respect is something you earn, not something others give you," Fiona said, tilting her chin upward.
She warned, “Remember this-I'm letting you off today not because of any influence or capability on your part. It's
merely because we have the family gathering coming up soon, and | don't want to upset Joseph. So, know your

With that, Fiona walked out without a backward glance.
"Goi
out,
investigate what's happened recently,” Fiona instructed her assistant as she walked
Her assistant replied, “No need to investigate, Madam Fiona. I've heard about it all.”
Fiona slowed her steps and instructed, "Tell me."
