Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela)

Chapter 24

As soon as Frank f

finished speaking, several shareholders chimed in

"Yeah, it's the same for me. Everything is in chaos! What used to be done by three people is now dumped on one! Who can handle that?"

"If this keeps going on, I'm afraid that Empyria Group is bound for bankruptcy!"

"Let's be honest, even though you are the founder of Empyria Group, Ms. Lewis, you have been absent from the company in recent years, and you have to change things slowly, not all at once!" Angela didn't respond to their comments. Instead, she looked calmily at Brenda and said, "Show me the recent business activities of the department Mr. Black is in charge of"

Frank was startled "Ms. Lewis, what do you mean? You don't trust me?"

Angela took the documents Brenda handed to her, smiling. "Mr. Black, I trust data more than you. After all, data doesn't lie.

"Your" Frank was furious, his face livid Angela, however, had already closed the file and was looking at him, her eyes filled with coldness.

"According to this report, Mr. Black, your department is currently handling only five projects. Three of these projects are due in six months, while the remaining two, which started a year ago, are yet to be completed

"You shouldn't complain to me but reflect why you couldn't complete even two projects in a year with so many people in your department!"

Frank's face turned pale with Angela's words, feeling unterly humiliated. Gritting his teeth, he said. "Those two projects are in their final stages, and everyone else is busy with their own projects. We can't just drop everything else to clean up these two messes, right?"

Angela remained stem. That's your business to figure out. I don't need a report on how you plan to handle it. I want results. Also, your department hasn't secured any partnerships this year. If your teams can't make profit for the company, I'll consider shutting them down by the year's end"

Frank's face was ashen, and he stared at Angela. "Ms. Lewis, this company isn't just yours. You can't make decisions on your own."

Angela raised an eyebrow at him, speaking slowly. "Then let's wait and see the profits at the end of the year. If your department continues to lose money, it will also affect the dividends of other shareholders" At these words, the way all the shareholders looked at Frank changed. Those who had planned to sing the same tune with Frank felt a chill sent down their spines.

Angela didn't look at Frank again, speaking indifferently. I will set quarterly and annual plans for each department. Those who are too far off the mark by year's end will either have to hand over their department to someone else or shut it down"

Seeing that no one else spoke, Angela stood up. "If there's nothing else, let's call it a day?

Frank stared intently at her retreating figure, his eyes filled with coldnes!

Angela was busy with her work for the next few days, barely talking to Kenneth. They only saw each other when leaving in the morning and returning in the evening

Soon, it was the day before Brenda's birthday. After work, Angela went straight to Jovelle Fashion to pick up the dress she had made for Brenda.

As soon as she entered the mall, she met Jennifer and Donna Sinclair, arm in arm, shopping together.

Both of them were surprised upon seeing Angela

Donna frowned at her, "Angela, what are you doing here!!"

"I have some things to take care of

Although Donna was her husband's mother, Angela was well aware that Donna had always favored Jennifer and firmly believed she should be Kenneth's wife. No matter how much Angela tried to please her over the years, she was never in Donna's eyes.

But Angela had come to terms with it and no longer treated Donna as seriously as before.

Seeing Angela about to leave, Donna said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "I want to buy a couple of dresses. Since we've run into each other here. come over and give me your opinion."

Donna used to end up with dresses that didn't quite suit her. After shopping with Angela a few times, she found out that Angela always had a knack for picking out the perfect dresses for her. She would always receive compliments from other ladies afterward, so she used to have Angela by her sale while shopping

Today, she was shopping with Jennifer, and although Jennifer picked out some pretty dresses, they somehow didn't feel as perfect as the ones

Chapter 21

Angela chos.

Hearing Donna's commanding tone, Angela replied indifferently, "I have other things to do. You should ask Jennifer to help you."

With that, Angela turned and left directly.

Donna was fuming with anger. She stared coldly at Angela's retreating figure and gritted her teeth. Im so mad. I never should have let her marry Kenneth!" "Mrs. Sinclair, please don't be upset, It's just the way Angela is, and it wasn't her intention"

Donna's face immediately soured, her brow furrowing without a word.

Jennifer looked at her, seemingly hesitant to speak, then stammered, "Mrs. Sinclair... There's something about Angela... I'm not sure if 1 should tell

you

"What is it! Just say it

"Recently, Angela was seen fooling around with a gigolo at a bar. It got caught on camera and was displayed on the screen during my grandfather's birthday party... Most of the noble families in Lithoria save it.

Donna was furious and couldn't believe it. "She really did that?"

Jennifer nodded, her face filled with sorrow. "I don't know why Angela would do such a thing. Kenneth tried to defend her and even announced their marriage in public

Donna gritted her teeth in anger. She had always had reservations about Angela. Now, Angela had even gone as far as to cheat on Kenneth!

"Jennie, I have something else to do, so I can't continue shopping with you today. Do visit me when y

you're free."

"Sure, Mrs. Sinchir. But please, don't sell anyone that I was the one who told you this. Otherwise, Angela will think I'm speaking ill of her behind

her back"

Donna gripped her hand, nodding "Don't worry, Jennie. I won't say a word."

Watching Donna leave hurriedly, Jennifer sneered smugly.

After a while, Angela had just picked up the dress from the store when she received a call from Kenneth.

He spoke coldly. "Where are you?"

"I'm at the entrance of Imperial Mall, What's up?"

"Wait there. I'll be there in thirty minutes"

Angela was about to ask what was wrong, but Kenneth had already hung up.

In less than half an hour, Kenneth's car pulled up in front of Angela

Noticing that Kenneth was driving himself today, Angela put her gown in the back seat and sat on the passenger's side.

"What's so urgent that you needed to see me?" she asked.

Kenneth's face was cold as he drove. "We're going to deal with your scandal about the gigolo!"

Angela frowned, puzzled, "What do you mean?""

"You'll see when we get there."

A Kenneth drove up to the entrance of Sinclair Manor, Angela began to understand what he meant..

Recalling her recent encounter with Donna and Jennifer at the Imperial Mall, Angela couldn't help but scoff at how quickly the Sinclair family had learned that,

As they entered the living room, Donna sat on the sofa, her expression cold.

Upon seeing Angela, Donna glared at her as if she wanted to slap Angela right then and call her a bitch.

"Kenneth, Eheard Angela was picking out gigolos at a bar. Is that true?" she asked.

Kenneth's face was sullen, "Who's been gossiping to you?"

Donna slammed her cup down on the table, seething with anger. "It doesn't matter who told me!

What

matters is whether it's true of Holl"

Chapter 24

Kenneth was about to deny it, but Angela suddenly spoke up from behind him. "It's true. But

It's true. But you didn't ask us here just to confirm this, right?"

Before they arrived, Donna had already watched the surveillance footage. She was so furious she could barely catch her breath.

Donna looked at Angela with a disdainful expression. "I'm glad you dare to admit it! I called both of you here today because there's another matter to discuss!"

Angela looked at Donna calmly, waiting for her to continue.

"Angela, marrying Kenneth was always a step up for you. In these three years, you haven't given Kenneth a child, and now you've cheated on him. The Sinclair family can't tolerate this. You should divorce Kenneth"
