Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela)

Chapter 72



"Argh!"

Debra covered her face and looked at Zenas in disbelief. Flora, beside her, pushed Zenas away and pulled Debra behind her, glaring at Zenas.

"What are you doing?! Do you know how scared Debra has been in the police station these days?! Not only do you not care about her, you even beat her! Zenas, are you crazy?!"

Zenas sneered, "If you guys hadn't offended Angela, the Sinclair Group wouldn't have cut off all cooperation with the Jenkins Group. You guys don't have to care about anything in the police station. Do you know how many apologies I made and how much it cost me to get you guys out of there?!"

Flora said coldly, with anger still on her face, "Isn't that what you're supposed to do?"

"If you and Debra weren't always causing trouble, would I need to apologize to anyone? I'm warning you, both of you apologize properly to Angela tomorrow night until she's satisfied!"

With tears in Debra's eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "I won't apologize!"

Zenas said coldly, "If you won't apologize, we'll break off our relationship from now on. You can do whatever you want."

Debra froze in place at those words. After a long time, she shuddered and said, "Dad, what do you mean? You're actually breaking off your relationship with me for an outsider?"

"Am I for an outsider? Do you know how the Sinclair Group has been suppressing the Jenkins Group these days? If this continues, the Jenkins Group will go bankrupt in less than a month."

Not realizing it would be so severe, Debra bit her lower lip and said, "But Jennie told me Kenneth loved her. How could Kenneth take on the Jenkins family for Angela?"

Zenas' expression went cold as he thought about what Angela had told him when she left. "If Kenneth really loves Jennifer, why doesn't he divorce Angela and marry her?"

"Because Angela is stalling and refusing to get a divorce!"

Not realizing Debra would be so stupid, Zenas sneered, "You believe everything Jennifer says? Why didn't she beg Kenneth for you this time when you were arrested? At the banquet tomorrow night, either you apologize to Angela, or I will announce in public that I am breaking off my relationship with you. Take your pick!"

After saying that, Zenas just turned and left.

Debra looked helplessly at Flora, who had been silent for a few moments. "Mom, what should I do?"

"Just do what your dad said and apologize!"

"But I don't want to..."

Flora coldly interrupted before she could finish speaking, "Debra, do you know who taught me about getting someone to splash paint on Angela?"

Debra was momentarily stunned, guessing something, but she didn't want to admit it.

"Stop it. Jennie wouldn't hurt me!"

"Think about it, why was it you and not her that got beat up the last time you met Angela with her? Why were we the ones who got taken in this time and not her?" Debra had pain in her eyes. "Mom, stop it! We did all these things voluntarily, and Jennie was just trying to help us!"

"You should have less interaction with her in the future. Or else you won't even know how you die!"

If Zenas hadn't reminded her earlier, she might still hate Angela and thank Jennifer.

Without looking at Debra's reaction, Flora simply turned away.

She thought, 'Jennifer dared to scheme against me and Debra like that, and I'm not going to let this go.'

Debra went back to her room in a daze. She had just sat down on her bed when she got a call from the crew of the Generations.

"Ms. Jenkins, due to your recent actions that have violated our bottom line, we've decided to terminate your contract after multiple discussions. You won't have to come here starting tomorrow."

Back at the villa, Angela still felt slightly uncomfortable when she saw Kenneth sitting at the table waiting for her to eat.

She sat down next to Kenneth and said, "Let's eat. You don't have to wait for me on purpose next time."

Instead of responding, Kenneth raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you in a good mood today?"

Angela nodded. "Well, Debra's father, Mr. Jenkins, went to the Empyria Group today to apologize to me and said he would have Debra and Flora apologize to me in public." "The Jenkins family finally has a wise man!"

If Kevin had been around at this point, he would have thought,ē 'Kenneth has ordered the dissolution of all cooperation with the Jenkins family, can the Jenkins family not get wiser?'

Angela smiled and didn't say anything else.

As the two finished dinner and sat in the living room watching drama, Kenneth, couldn't help but look over at Angela and say, "What are you going to do about that thing with your mom?"

Angela's smile faded slightly. "I'm

not going to do anything about it et

Since she's already said in public thatshe's severing our relationship,

we'll be strangers from none

Kenneth was a little surprised. "Are you sure?"

After all, Jennifer had told Kenneth many times before that Angela had always mimicked her and wanted the same kind of attention from Karen and Paul. Angela frowned and looked at Kenneth. "Why am I not sure?"

"I've heard that you used to try to repair your relationship with Karen. Maybe you'd be happier if you had family that cared about you."

Angela put down the fruit, and her expression went cold.

"Mr. Sinclair, the Lewis family asked you to persuade me?"

Kenneth stayed silent for a few seconds and said, "Jennie came to see me this afternoon, hoping I could persuade you not to pursue the matter any further." Angela looked at him coldly. "And then? You promised her?"

"No. I just think you might regret it later on if you make too much of a mess with the Lewis family. So I want you to think it over."

"Mr. Sinclair, you don't need to worry about this. I'm thinking clearly!"

After this conversation, Angela didn't want to watch the drama anymore and went straight to her bedroom.

Angela didn't come out even after Joseph came and finished treating Kenneth.

Kenneth rested and hesitated for a moment before pushing his wheelchair and knocking on Angela's door.

"Angela, I want to talk to you."

It took several seconds before Angela's cold voice came from inside. "I'm already asleep. Come tomorrow."

Kenneth stayed in the doorway for a moment and continued, "Are you angry?"

"No. Just go back. I'm very sleepy. Don't disturb me."

Kenneth didn't say any more. After a while, he silently turned his wheelchair and left.

When Kenneth woke up early the next morning, Angela had already left for work. She was obviously avoiding him.

Kenneth coldly finished his breakfast and called Angela.

"Is something wrong?"

When Angela's cold voice came from the cell phone, Kenneth still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and said coldly, "Angela, are you losing your temper?" There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds.

"No."

"Then why did I get up this morning and you were already at work? Aren't you avoiding me?"

"Mr. Sinclair, I've got a lot to do at the company today, so I left early. Does that need to be reported to you as well?"

"You're coming with me to the party held by the Jenkins family tonight. I'll pick you up at the Empyria Group after work." After that, Kenneth simply hung up the phone without waiting for Angela to say anything.

The day passed by quickly. Angela was still at the office looking at papers when she received a call from Kenneth.

"I'm here. Come down!"
