Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela)

Chapter 21

Angela remained indifferent. “Whatever.”

“Your” Karen pointed at her, her voice cold. “This is why I can’t stand you! You’re stubborn as a mule,”

“I will be leaving if you have nothing else to say,” Angela said impatiently, reigniting the anger Karen had barely suppressed

“How dare you talk to me like that, Angela?” Karen said, visibly agitated.

Angela looked at her calmly. Then what do you expect me to say?”

Karen frowned, speaking disdainfully. “Forget it. I’m tired of arguing with you. Jennie’s back. When do you plan on divorcing Kenneth?”

“What does Jennifer’s return have anything to do with whether I divorce Kenneth or not?”

Karen scoffed, “Don’t play dumb with me. Kenneth and Jennie like each other, and you are nothing but a joke if you interfere.

Angela replied indifferently. “Kenneth and I are married. I’m not the one interfering, and I’m certainly not the joke.”

Karen was fuming with anger, speaking through gritted teeth. “Kenneth isn’t the only man in the world! Why do you have to fight with Jennie?”

Angela sneered, speaking slowly. “Madam, you need to understand, it’s Jennifer who’s trying to take my place. Instead of pressuring me to divorce, why don’t you let Jennifer try harder! If she can

get Kenneth to ask for a divorce, I’ll sign the papers immediately. I have no intention of clinging to

Kenneth!”

“Fincl Angela, remember what you s

said today!”

Without another word, Angela turned and walked away

When she returned to the banquet hall Robert was delivering a birthday speech.

Angela, uninterested, found a quiet spot to sit and took out her phone, planning to play a couple of rounds of Candy Crush. Suddenly, someone sat down beside her.

She looked up, saw Brenda, and kept focusing on her game.

Brenda glanced at Angela’s phone screen and curled her lip. “Still not tired of playing that after all these years, huh?”

“Not at all”

Brenda looked at Angela’s striking face and couldn’t help but feel a pang of frustration. Angela was clearly superior to Jennifer in every aspect. Brenda wondered why the Lewis family couldn’t see that

Kenneth was also the same. All of them were blind.

Remembering the scene she had just witnessed in the garden, Brenda was filled with anger. She tried to hold back but still blurted out, “I just saw Kenneth and Jennifer all over each other in the garden. It made me sick, and I almost threw up!”

Angela kept playing her game, speaking in differently. They’ve always been a pair. You’ll probably see more of this. Better get used to it sooner

rather than later.”

“I just can’t get used to it. Kenneth looks fine, but it’s a pity he is blind. Of all people, he just had to fall for someone like Jennifer, a total bitch!”

Angela just finished a round on her phone. She put it away and glanced at Brenda. “Everyone has their taste, I guess. When you like someone, you tend to overlook his faults.

Seeing Angela so composed, Brenda frowned, “But the problem is, you and Kenneth aren’t even divorced yet. Are you just going to watch this happen right under your nose?”

“What else can I do? Only a few know we’re married. To others, their behavior seems perfectly normal. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Brenda fell silent.

After a moment, Brenda patted Angela on the shoulder and said, “You’ve been through a lot. I’ll definitely be nicer to you from now on.”

“Is that so you can be nice to me now. I want some cupcakes. Go get me some.

Brenda couldn’t help but chuckle, “Alright, I’ll get them for you!”

Not long after Brenda left, Robert stepped down from the stage, and Eleana Lewis took his place.

12:20 PM

Robert and his wife, Irene, had three children together.

The eldest was Paul, married to Karen, and they have a pair of twins, Angela and Jennifer

Their second son was Logan, married to Andrea Pollar, with a daughter, Eleana, and a son, Edward.

Then there was their youngest daughter, Quennie, who married into a family in Goldenville: She seemed to have something she had to take care of at home. So she would only be here after a few days.

Eleana was talented and was currently studying at Goldenville University. She was favored by the Lewis family

Meanwhile, Eleana was on stage, playing a video she had made for Robert’s birthday celebration. Just a few seconds into the video, the screen suddenly went black,

Everyone was momentarily stunned, thinking the screen had broken, but it suddenly lit up again.

However, the content on the screen was no longer the birthday video but rather a surveillance recording.

Angela narrowed her eyes, sneening.

The screen showed footage of her and Brenda at the Velvet Club, choosing two gigolos. She had lost a game and was feeding fruits to one of the gigolos. This moment was captured and replayed over and over.

The guests were shocked, then couldn’t help but look at Angela, and whispers began to spread.

“My gosh! Who would have thought the Lewis family’s long–lost daughter would be so wild, fooling around with a gigolo like that!”

“She was indeed raised wildly. The Lewis family’s reputation is at stake, I wonder if they regret bringing her back now!”

“If I were Paul and Karen, I’d be furious! I never thought I could witness this drama at Robert’s birthday party!”

On the stage. Eleana looked embarrassed. Catching Robert’s unpleasant glances, she understood she had been set up

It was obvious whoever benefited the most was the one behind this!

Robert was beyond livid. One could feel his palpable anger beside him.

“Paul, Karen, look at the daughter you’ve raised! My name is completely tarnished because of you!”

Paul furrowed his brow and spoke up. “Dad, the most important thing right now is to explain this mess away?

Robert clenched his teeth with a stern face. “What’s there to explain? Do you want us to be even more embarrassed?”

Karen, too, was furious. “I think we should cut ties with Angela Who knows what kind of trouble shell stir up in the future!”

Paul glanced at her coldly. “Shut up! This would never have happened if you had kept a better eye on her.”

Karen felt wronged. “How is this my fault! She’s been raised outside for over a decade! Who knows what bad influences she’s picked up!” “Enough! Stop arguing. Do you want to make things even worse? She’s not allowed to step in Lewis Manor ever again!”

Paul was about to speak but was pulled back by Karen.

“Don’t you see Dad is really angry right now? Stop making him angries!”

Paul held back his words, feeling angry and frustrated by Angela’s recklessness.

He had seen Angela arrive with Kenneth today!

day and had thought their relationship was going well. He hadn’t expected such a scene.

Seeing Paul and Karen fall silent, Irene frowned, “Since she’s responsible, let her come and explain herself!”

Just then, Kenneth and Jennifer entered the banquet hall. Seeing the video on the screen, both of them had different reactions. Jennifer felt triumphant. It seemed Debra’s plan was really working. Now everyone must think Angela was nothing but a wild woman.

On the other side, Kenneth’s face turned sour as he quickly approached Angela, asking coldly. “What is this all about?”

Angela glanced at him indifferently “Don’t ask me. I’d also like to know who’s behind this. Apart from Brenda, you’re the only one who knew I had gone to the bar, and Brenda wouldn’t do such a thing”

Kennethi’s face instantly turned sullen. “Are you suspecting me?”
