Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela)

Kenneth looked at her and said calmly, "Whether you praise this necklace or not, I would buy it. It's a gift I'm going to give Angela for our third wedding anniversary." Jennifer took several steps back in disbelief, tears filling her eyes.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes."

The surrounding people start talking, taunting Jennifer for thinking Kenneth would still wait for her.

Finally, Jennifer couldn't take it anymore and turned to run out of the ballroom.

Kenneth looked coldly at those talking about Jennifer and said, "If I hear any more taunting of Jennifer, suffer the consequences!"

After watching a farce, Angela, without the slightest flutter in her heart, pushed Kenneth toward the crowd.

Among those invited by Zenas were those in charge of Lithoria's major conglomerates, and many of those who wanted to work with the Sinclair Group came up to speak to Kenneth. Angela stood aside and listened carefully, getting quite a bit of information.

After chatting for a while, Kenneth turned to see Angela with her head lowered as if she was in a daze and said, "If you're bored, you can get something to eat from the dessert section." Angela returned to her senses and smiled, "No, I think it's fun to listen to it once in a while."

Then Kenneth didn't say anything else and continued talking to his partner.

Not long after that, Flora and Debra came downstairs.

Debra's eyes filled with hate when she saw Angela standing in the crowd, and she thought, 'Angela caused me to lose my role and get jailed for days, and now I have to apologize in public!' Debra was resentful at the thought.

She thought, 'I'm just not as lucky as Angela to have Kenneth as a backer. So I'm just going to let Angela humiliate me like this?'

Flora pulled Debra's hand and whispered, "Debra, just bear with it. We can take our time with that bitch later when Kenneth doesn't like her anymore!"

Debra lowered her head to hide the hatred in her eyes.

"Mom, don't worry. I know what to do."

Seeing the two come downstairs, Zenas walked onto the stage, picked up a microphone, and began to speak.

"Thank you all very much for coming to this banquet today. I'm sure you all know about the online fiasco Debra had earlier. This incident had a very bad effect on Ms. Lewis and hurt Ms. Lewis. I'm very sorry. I invite you all to this banquet today to let Debra and Flora apologize to Ms. Lewis and return justice to Ms. Lewis!"

As Zenas finished, Debra and Flora walked onto the stage.

Debra said how she had actively messed with Angela and rumored about her online.

"Ms. Lewis, I was wrong and I hope you can forgive me!"

Taking the microphone, Flora looked in Angela's direction and said, "Ms. Lewis, I was anxious when I saw Debra being taken to the police station and found someone to throw paint at you. I still feel guilty when I think about it now.

"In order to express my apology, I purposely had someone buy a bucket of paint. If my apology doesn't relieve you of your anger, you can throw it on me. I definitely won't have the slightest complaint!" Their words caused the people present to start whispering, their expressions filled with mockery and contempt.

They weren't despising what Debra and Flora had done. After all, this kind of thing happened in every family. They just didn't think Debra and Flora would be so stupid as to get caught and now apologize in public so disgracefully.

The stares cast by the crowd made Debra feel as if she was being stripped naked, and every second was torture for her.

Angela looked at them indifferently and thought, 'What they're suffering now is no more than a tenth of what I experienced online.'

It was several minutes before

Angela smiled, "There's no need to

throw the paint. I just hope Ms. Jenkins and Mrs. Jenkins will

remember how it felt to be

surrounded like that today and think twice before they do anything in the future."

Debra gritted her teeth and said, "Ms. Lewis, I'm going to take your words today to heart!"

After walking off the stage, Debra suddenly saw Henry standing in a corner of the ballroom, looking at her grimly.

Debra's heart choked at the thought that she had called him at the police station, trying to get him to help her, but he had coldly refused.

She pressed her lips and still walked slowly toward Henry.

After standing in front of Henry, Debra looked at him coldly. "Are you here to mock me?"

Henry shook his head. "I just wanted to see what kind of a person the person I've loved for so many years really is."

Debra sneered, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not the innocent type you like."

She had an expression that Henry found unfamiliar.

He had always thought that she was gentle and kind, but now he realized that he had glorified her out of love.

So he excused her over and over again when he slowly saw her for what she really was.

"Debra, why would you do something like this when we could be nice together?"

Debra looked at him coldly and said, word for word, "There's no reason. I was originally such a person. I broke up with you and left the country in the first place because I realized we weren't right for each other. This time, when I returned home and realized that I still liked you, I wanted to try again. Unfortunately, it still

failed."

Henry's face instantly paled like a piece of paper. For the past few days, he had been considering whether or not to continue with Debra. Now, it seemed he didn't have to think about it.

"I see."

He turned and left without hesitation, his back revealing his determination.

Debra had sorrow in her eyes. But even if she got Henry back now, they couldn't escape a breakup in the end. It would be better sooner than later.

She turned to go upstairs straight

away. The only role she had in this

banquet today was to stand on the

stage to apologize to Angela and

then let Angela insult her. The humiliation tonight would always be in her heart!

Paul and Karen had initially gotten an invitation from Zenas, too. But knowing that Zenas would make Debra and Flora apologize to Angela in front of everyone, the two didn't go. Jennifer came home after eight o'clock in the evening, her face still streaked with tears.

Karen was waiting for Jennifer in the living room, watching TV. She was taken aback by the sight of Jennifer's appearance and hurriedly pulled Jennifer to the couch and sat down. "Jennie, what's wrong? Did Angela bully you again?!"

Jennifer shook her head, her voice carrying a sob. "Mom, don't blame Angela. After all, Angela is Kenneth's wife now. It's only normal that she can't stand the fact that Kenneth likes me." Hearing this, Karen frowned and said coldly, "What's going on? Tell me clearly. If it's her fault, I won't let her go!"

Jennifer burst into tears and said, "Kenneth bought a necklace at Nebulora earlier. I had thought it was a birthday present for me, but I didn't expect to see Angela wearing it at the banquet today..." "She even wants to grab your birthday present! I have to go find her!"

Jennifer quickly pulled Karen's hand. "Mom, don't. I don't want you to be humiliated too. Just pretend you don't know anything about this. I don't want to put Kenneth in a difficult position."

Karen sighed as she looked at Jennifer, who had tears all over her face, and drew a tissue to wipe them away.

"Jennie, you are just too kind."

"It's enough for me to have the love of you and Dad. As for Kenneth, maybe he and I aren't meant to be."

Karen gently patted her back and softly said, "Don't worry. I will get Angela and Kenneth divorced!"
