Peter hurriedly shook his head. “No..I was just kidding earlier, Ms. Lewis. Please forgive me… Don’t take it to heart..
As he spoke, Peter even started to slap his own face.
Angela looked at him coldly, unwavering
It was only after Peter’s face turned red from slapping himself that Angela calmly walked aside and turned to leave.
As he glared at Angela. Peter’s eyes, previously filled with fear, instantly turned sinister.
He vowed to himself that he would not let Angela off for today’s humiliation.
As Angela left, Kenneth also turned to go upstairs.
His expression was indifferent, but he started to doubt Angela,
He considered having Kevin investigate her
He always thought she was just the long–lost daughter of the Lewis family and Jennifer’s twin sister.
In the three years of their marriage, she had taken care of him with dedication and looked like just an ordinary woman, but today’s incident had surprised him.
Owen, also stunned, turned to Kenneth and said. “Kenneth, Angela just hit Peter. Given Peter’s vengeful nature, he’s sure to cause trouble for her. Aren’t you going to do anything?”
Kenneth replied indifferently. “She didn’t ask for my help, so why should I meddler
“But she is your wife”
When he heard this, Kenneth’s expression grew colder as he coldly said, “Maybe not for much longer.”
Owen looked surprised. “Are you planning to divorce Angel and get back with Jennifer?”
Kenneth didn’t respond, and Owen took it as a yes, saying, “You’ve always liked Jennifer. It would be better for both you and Angels if you divorce.”
“The divorce was Angela’s idea.”
Owen was genuinely shocked. Everyone knew how much Angela adored Kenneth during their three years of marriage. It was hard to believe she would suggest a divorce.
“Are you sure? If she asks for a divorce, what are you waiting for! Is she demanding too much in alimony?”
Kenneth glanced at him coldly, growing more irritated by Owen’s words. “Don’t you have anything better to do? Did you resolve that issue with the young starlet?
They walked into the private room where Henry and Upton were already waiting.
Seeing Kenneth’s gloomy expression, Henry couldn’t help but say, “Kenneth, why the long face?
Kenneth remained silent, but Owen said with a teasing tone. “He’s upset about being asked for a divorce. Better not to ask”
Henry was momentarily taken aback, then said, “Let’s just enjoy our meal and forget about the things that upset us”
None of them were optimistic about Kenneth and Angela’s marriage, especially now that Jennifer had returned to the country. Their marriage seemed even more precarious.
No one noticed that Upton, who had been quiet all along, tightened his grip on his water glass,
After dinner, Henry and Owen suggested going to the Royal Bar for drinks.
Kenneth said. “You guys go ahead. I have something to do tonight”
After Kenneth left, Upton also excused himself to go home.
Henry turned to Owen. “Since they’re busy, let’s just find a bar and have a drink
Owen shook his head with a smile. “I have a date with my girlfriend. Bye!

Chapter 15
Henry was momentarily stunned
After a few seconds of silence, he said, “You really move on fast. I hope
ope this one isn’t another starlet”
“She’s not. I’ll bring her over to meet you guys next time.”
“So, you’re serious this time”
“I always take relationships seriously”
Henry rolled his eyes. “Fine, go then. I’m heading home too. It’s boring without you guys.”
It was already past nine in the evening when Kenneth returned to the villa
As soon as he entered, he saw Angela with a bag, ready to leave
She had changed into a tracksuit and tied her long hair into a ponytail, looking confident and beautiful.
He asked, “Where are you going! It’s so Lace
Angela hadn’t expected Kenneth to return at this time. She responded indifferently after a brief moment of surprise, Tve got something to do. I probably won’t be back for a few days.”
Kenneth grabbed her hand abruptly, staring at her coldly. “Angela, you’re my wife! I will not allow you to go out this late.”
Angela, annoyed, shook off his hand. “It’s not your business. You used to be away for days on end. I agreed to come back, but that doesn’t mean you can meddle in my life
She glanced at her watch; it was almost time for her meeting with Ryan.
He said, “I won’t let you step out of this villa until you explain what you’re up to
Angela looked up at him and said sternly. “Move aside!”
Kenneth remained silent, staring back coldly.
Having witnessed Angela’s skills today, he knew she was formidable, but he believed he wouldn’t lose to her in a fight.
He thought if she started a fight, it would be the perfect opportunity for him to question her about when she had learned to fight
Angels looked at him expressionlessly. Just as Kenneth was about to ask, a faint ding caught his attention.
Confused, he frowned, but Angela began to count down before he could react
X–Three.
“Two”
As Angela uuered the last number, Kenneth lost consciousness.
Angela dragged Kenneth to the sofa and left without looking back.
When Kenneth woke up, it was already the next morning,
Rubbing his temples, he suddenly remembered something. He opened his eyes, noticed Angela’s absence, and frowned.
He immediately called Kevin. Find out where Angela is now.”
Meanwhile, in the tropical rainforest, a team quickly advanced deeper into the jungle, each member moving swiftly
There were about a dozen people dressed in camouflage, each with various injuries, but none lagged behind, indicating a well–trained
The leader brought everyone to a riverbank and said, “Once we cross this river, we’ll be safe”
Before they y could relax, a gunshot sounded from a distance. The leader was hit by a bullet in the forehead
As he fell, gunfire erupted around them, and in an instant, only four or five of the dozen or so people remained. Somenor shouted, “Jump into the river!” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

With splashes, the river turned murky.
Angela, motionless, watched the river intently.
Then, Ryan’s deep voice came through the earpiece. Julie, the main target is to eliminate Quentin. The others are just small fry and Prepare to retreat.”
pose no threat.
Angela frowned slightly, as she always preferred to leave no loose ends. But as Ryan was in charge of this mission and he ordered a retreat, she had to do so.
She put away her
gun
and turned to leave, but Ryan’s urgent voice came through. “Watch out!”
Angela sensed the danger and swiftly dodged to the side. A bullet grazed her cheek, making her bleed.
She fired in the direction the bullet came from, and before the shooter could fire a second shot, he fell to the ground, lifeless.
Ryan whistled and praised with admiration, “Classic Julie, always so fast”
Angela responded coolly, “I have other things to handle. Just transfer my pay to my account.”
After saying that, she hung up.
Kenneth had his people search for three days, yet they couldn’t find any clue about Angela’s whereabouts.
During these days, he grew increasingly irritable, and no one at the company dared to approach him.
Kevin said, “Mr. Sinclair, here is the information I found on Ms. Lewis
Kenneth took the document and glanced at it, and found nothing new compared to what he had already known.
He slammed it on the table angrily. “Is this all you’ve found in three days?”
