Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela)

Chapter 68

Angela frowned. But then she thought of something and began to smile.

"Mr. Sinclair, this is Patrick's villa. Wouldn't it be awkward for you to stay here?" she asked.

Keh looked at her angrily. Just when Angela thought he was going to leave, Keh suddenly spoke up. "Since he's willing to lend you the villa and knows that we are a couple, I don't think he would mind me staying as well."

Angela gritted her teeth and said coldly, "But I don't want to live with you!"

"Angela, I'm not leaving. Arrange a room for me, or come back with me! Don't forget, my disability is your responsibility!" Keh said.

After a long silence, Angela finally gave in.

"Fine, I'll come back with you."

She didn't want Keh to stay there, as their relationship would still be unclear if he found out the truth later on.

Late in the night, after returning to Vista Villa, Angela took a shower and went to sleep in another bedroom. Keh didn't insist on sharing a room with her. He had already brought her back, so there was no need to rush.

Early the next day, when Angela arrived at the Empyria Group, she saw Karen and Jennifer waiting at the entrance.

As soon as they saw her, Karen's anger found an outlet. She walked briskly towards Angela, ready to slap her.

"Angela! Withdraw the lawsuit immediately! You are going to ruin the Lewis family!" Karen yelled.

Angela took a step back to avoid the slap, making Karen even angrier.

"You dare to dodge!" Karen shouted.

Angela looked indifferent and said, "Why wouldn't I?"

"I am your mother! It's my right to teach you a lesson!" Karen said.

Jennifer chimed in, "Angela, Mom didn't sleep all night because of your actions. She cried several times. Stop being stubborn and withdraw the lawsuit. Do you want to watch Mom humbly apologize to the Jenkins family?!"

Angela smiled and said, "Debra defamed me online first. Instead of questioning her, you come to me, the victim, and ask me to withdraw the lawsuit. Don't you find that ridiculous?"

Just as Angela finished speaking, Karen's sharp voice rang out.

"Angela, if you are not at fault, how could Ms. Jenkins say those things online?! If you don't withdraw the lawsuit, I will treat you as if you were never my daughter!"

Angela nodded and said deliberately, "I am indeed at fault."

Karen was surprised, seemingly not expecting her to change so quickly. She coldly snorted, "Good that you know! As long as you apologize, I won't pursue this matter any further!"

"Mrs. Lewis, I haven't finished speaking yet. My mistake was returning to the Lewis family when I was sixteen. I thought you found me to make up for the past, but it turned out to be for Jennifer's bone marrow donation!"

Karen and Jennifer's faces changed. Karen gritted her teeth and said, "You are Jennie's sister, shouldn't you have helped her!"

"I haven't finished speaking, there's no need to be so eager to refute me," Angela said calmly, looking at Karen.

Karen stared at her coldly. She wanted to see what else Angela could say!

"My other mistake was expecting something from you and Paul, and even from the Lewis family. Originally, I wanted to maintain the last bit of peace between us, but now it seems impossible."

Angela had taken care of Karen every time she fell ill during Jennifer's three years abroad.

She thought that maybe one day Karen would see her sincerity, but now she realized that no matter how hard she worked, or even for another three more years, she would never surpass Jennifer's sweet talk.

Hearing the mockery in Angela's tone, Karen became even angrier. "Angela, are you apologizing or not?!"

Angela looked at Karen mockingly and said, "I won't apologize. I won't come back to your house either. Since we don't have a mother-daughter bond, let's not disturb each other in the future."

After speaking, Angela turned around and was about to leave.

Karen lost her temper and cursed at Angela, "I should have killed you when you were born if I know that you would become like this!"

Angela didn't look back or even pause her steps.

Jennifer supported Karen,

comforting her with a face full of

sadness. "Mom, please don't be

angry. You're not feeling well.

Angela, she just said that in the heat of the moment. Don't take ito seriously."

Karen angrily said, "Regardless of whether she meant it or not, I will never acknowledge her as my daughter! Jennie, you are my only daughter from now on!"

Jennifer felt triumphant in her heart,

but she acted as if she was in a difficult position. "Mom, don't say that. Let me take you home first. I'll think of a solution regarding@he Jenkins family."

S

Karen patted her hand wearily and said, "Jennie, thank you!"

Jennifer shook her head and said, "As long as we live happily together."

In contrast, Karen was even more dissatisfied with Angela.

She thought, 'Jennifer is much more considerate. After all, I have raised her since she was a baby!"

After dropping Karen off at her house, Jennifer made a call to Debra's mother, Flora.

"Mrs. Jenkins, there's something I want to talk to you about. Do you have a moment?"

*****

In the evening, Angela finished work and walked out of the Empyria Group. When suddenly, someone darted out from the side and splashed paint at her with a bucket.

Angela was startled but quickly dodged it.

The paint in the bucket splattered on the ground, looking horrifyingly like blood. If that paint had landed on her, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would have been.

The person missed the target. He quickly dropped the bucket and ran off.

Soon after, someone on a motorcycle came to pick him up. The person on the motorcycle looked back at Angela and made a provocative gesture before disappearing into the traffic.

Angela smiled and took out her phone to make a call.

"Find out who splashed the paint at me just now at the Empyria Group."

An hour later, Angela smiled as she called the police.

The police were efficient. While Angela was still giving her statement, Flora was already brought to the police station by the police.

She spotted Angela immediately and

lost control, pouncing on her.

"Angela, how dare you report me to

the police! Just wait! I will make sure my husband ends the cooperation with the Lewis family!"

Angela, of course, would not let herself be bullied. Instead, she grabbed Flora by the hair and slapped her.

A cry of pain echoed in the police station, and the police quickly intervened to separate them.

Flora stared at her with a deadly expression and said coldly, "Angela, just you wait. You will regret this!"Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Angela glanced at her indifferently and said, "Regret? What do I have to regret? I regret not giving you a couple more slaps just now."

"Damn, you..."

Flora pointed at her, her eyes burning with anger. "Just wait! and see."

Angela couldn't be bothered with her anymore. After completing her statement and signing the documents, she walked out of the police station.

The news of Angela reporting Flora spread. The upper-class circles of Lithoria were abuzz with discussions about the incident.

When Karen went to play poker, she was ridiculed by others with snide remarks.

"Mrs. Lewis, you still have the mood to play cards! We dare not play with you anymore. We're afraid one day we'll be reported and arrested by your daughter!"

Karen's expression stiffened, and she forced a smile. "That was just a misunderstanding. I've already made Angela apologize, and I believe Ms. Jenkins will be released soon."

After she finished speaking, the others stared at her with strange expressions.

"Don't you know that today, Angela reported Mrs. Jenkins, and she got arrested?! Your daughter is fierce, daring to offend even the Jenkins family!"
