Chapter 74
Angela froze for a moment. She had thought Kenneth would just throw the necklace away based on his character, but she didn't expect him to keep it. He picked up the necklace and looked at Angela. "Let me put it on you."
"Okay."
Angela gathered her hair up, and Kenneth leaned over to put the necklace on her. The two were so close that they could almost hear each other breathing.
It wasn't like the two hadn't been this close before, but Angela's face heated up for some reason.
Pretty soon, Angela felt a cold touch on her neck, and the scent of Kenneth faded away.
"I'm done."
He looked at Angela's neck, and the necklace made her neck even longer, like a white swan.
Angela glanced down and praised sincerely, "That's a beautiful necklace."
"Then why did you throw it away when I gave it to you last time?"
After a moment of silence, Angela slowly said, "Because I thought about us getting divorced and I didn't want to be involved with you anymore."
Kenneth's expression turned cold, and then he said coldly, "I'm just lending it to you for tonight. Since you refused, I won't try again."
Angela seemed to be relieved at those words. "Okay."
Kenneth's expression became worse when he saw the thankfulness in her eyes. On the side, Kevin appeared serious on the surface but was secretly bursting with laughter inside.
He thought, 'If Mr. Sinclair hadn't been so tough-talking, Ms. Lewis might not have tried to divorce him every day.'
Kevin put the wheelchair on the side of the car, and Kenneth braced himself to sit in it.
Angela glanced over and couldn't help but tighten her grip on her bag slightly.
He could support his body by relying only on his upper body, and it looked like he usually exercised a lot.
However, thinking of the abdominals she had touched when she had wiped his body earlier, Angela couldn't help but blush a little.
Kenneth looked at her with a cold look and said coldly, "Stop gawking. Push me in."
Angela came back to her senses and was somehow embarrassed when she met Kenneth's eyes. She hurriedly got out of the car and took the wheelchair in Kevin's hand to push Kenneth into the Jenkins Villa. At the moment, the ballroom of Jenkins Villa was already full of people greeting each other.
Those invited by Zenas out of the blue were a bit puzzled about what Zenas was up to.
But the Jenkins Group wasn't lowly in Lithoria, so the crowd was willing to accept Zenas' invitation.
In Debra's bedroom on the second floor, she was sitting on her bed and was telling Jennifer about her resentment and anger.
"My dad said if I didn't apologize to Angela, that bitch, he would sever ties with me!"
Jennifer sighed and said, "Debra, just do it! Angela did find your fault this time. And I don't know what Angela has been doing to Kenneth lately to make Kenneth so cold to me."
A flash of hatred flashed in Debra's eyes as she coldly said, "Not only did Angela cause me to lose my role, she also made my dad force me to apologize to her in front of everyone I know. I definitely won't let it go so easily!"
"Apologize first. Don't let Angela affect your relationship with your dad."
"Well, Jennie, why don't you go downstairs? I want to chill out alone for a while."
"Okay, if you're still upset, send me a message anytime. I'll come right up to accompany you when I see it!"
Walking out of Debra's room, Jennifer had just rounded the corner when she met Flora, who had come to bring Debra her soup.
"Hello, Mrs. Jenkins!"
Flora's eyes flashed with disgust at the sight of Jennifer, and she looked less enthusiastic than before, looking at Jennifer meaningfully.
"Ms. Lewis, Debra is pure and may not be suitable to associate with a deep-minded person like you. Ms. Lewis, it's better for you to keep your distance from Debra in the future."
Jennifer's smile froze for a second as she lowered her eyes and said, "Mrs. Jenkins, are you angry because of what happened earlier?"
Flora sneered, "Ms. Lewis, since you know it, stay away from Debra from now on!"
Jennifer looked up at Flora and said slowly, "Mrs. Jenkins, I was just reminding you. I didn't think Angela would call the police, and I felt guilty when found out that Angela did and asked Angela for forgiveness, But she was so adamant that she wouldn't spare you and Debra..."
"Come on. Stop acting up in front of me, Ms. Lewis. You're so smart, so you should know how to keep your distance from Debra, and I won't..."
Before Flora could finish, Debra's angry voice rang out behind Jennifer.
"Mom, what are you talking nonsense to Jennie?! Jennie is my best friend. If you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you!"
Flora's tone softened a bit when she saw Debra getting angry. "Debra, I'm doing this for your own good."
"I don't need it!"
She took two or three steps to Jennifer and looked at her with guilt, saying, "Jennie, I'm sorry. I apologize to you for what my mom just said." Jennifer smiled, "It's okay. I don't care. Mrs. Jenkins is afraid you'll get hurt again. I'll leave you and Mrs. Jenkins alone."
Jennifer's smile only grew cold as she walked to the first floor.
She thought, 'If Debra hadn't been so easy to use, I would have turned my back on Debra just based on what Flora said earlier. When I get Kenneth, I'll make Flora regret what she said today!'
Jennifer had just entered the ballroom when she saw Angela pushing Kenneth through the door.
Hesitating for a moment, Jennifer walked up to greet Kenneth.
"Kenneth, I thought you weren't coming today!"
Kenneth glanced at her faintly. "Debra and Mrs. Jenkins will apologize to my wife at the banquet today. There seems no reason for me not to come."
A trace of jealousy flashed in Jennifer's eyes, and as if she had just seen Angela behind Kenneth, she smiled, "Angela, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, her expression became extremely unpleasant after seeing the necklace around Angela's neck.
"Tears of the Angel! Why is this necklace around your neck?!"
Jennifer couldn't believe it and subconsciously looked at Kenneth.
"Kenneth, did you give this necklace to Angela?"
Seeing the tears in Jennifer's eyes, Kenneth frowned, "Well, what's wrong?"
"But isn't this the birthday present you're going to give me?!"
A flash of surprise flickered in Angela's eyes. She then looked meaningfully at Kenneth and thought, 'Did he prepare two identical necklaces, intending to give one to Jennifer and one to me?'
When Kenneth and Angela showed
up, the people present were already paying attention to them. Now, seeing them arguing, everyone in the room instantly gathered around
them and even started to talk about
it.
"What's going on here? Does Mr. Sinclair still like Jennifer?"
"The hardest thing for a man to forget is his first crush. Although Kenneth is married to Angela, there will always be a special place in his heart for Jennifer!"
"I just love to see this kind of drama of two women fighting over a man, and they're twins. It's even more exciting!"
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Kenneth frowned even tighter and said coldly, "When did I ever say I was going to give you the Tears of the Angel?" Jennifer bit her lip and looked at him like she was so wronged.
"Wasn't it me who said the necklace was beautiful so you bought it in Nebulora? Are you purposely pissing me off by giving the necklace to Angela?!"
