Biting her lower lip, she said coldly. “Aren’t you afraid Jennifer will find it out?”
Kenneth looked at Angela. His face was sullen as he slowly said, “That’s none of your concern. You just need to tell me whether you agree or
Angela took a deep breath and stepped back, glaring at him. “I refuse!”
Kenneth let out a scornful laugh. “Seems like you’re not so keen on divorcing at all
Angela calined down now. She looked at Kenneth indifferently. “I don’t need to sacrifice anything to divorce. You’ll agree to it”
Seeing the determination in her eyes, Kenneth felt agitated, snapping coldly. “Get out!”
Angela left, and only when she stepped out of the master bedroom did Kenneth look away:
Robert’s birthday arrived quickly, and he made a call to Paul early in the morning.
“Mr. Sinclair is coming today, right?” Robert asked.
Although Kenneth was Angela’s husband, everyone in the Lewis family took great care not to offend him. After all, many of the Lewis family’s major collaborations were secured because of their relationship with Kenneth
If Kenneth came to Robert’s birthday party today, it would certainly be a feather in the cap
for the Lewis family.
Paul was having breakfast when he heard this. He responded. “Dad, don’t worry. Even if Angela can’t bring Mr. Sinclair here, you can always count on Jennie, right?”
“You’re right, I almost forgot about that. Okay, I’ll get going.”
After hanging up. Paul turned to Jennifer. “Could you give Mr. Sinclair a call? We need to make sure he will come to your Grandpa’s binhday party today.”
Jennifer felt that Paul and Robert were overly worried and couldn’t help saying, “Dad, no need to call him again. Since Kenneth has promised me,
he will surely come. Calling him again makes it seem like we want something from him!”
Paul thought about it and nodded. “Right, when Mr. Sinclair is here, remember to take him to meet your grandfather immediately.”
“Got it. I still need to get my hair done and buy a gown, I’m going out now!
An hour later, at Lithoria’s largest mall, Jennifer and Debra Jenkins chatted while they shopped. Debra was Jennifer’s best friend, who had recently returned from abroad.
“Debra, you’re planning to stay this time, right?”
Debra nodded, smiling. “I’ve wrapped up my work back in Mireland. If everything is going well, I be settling down here in Lithoria.”
Jennifer looked at her with a teasing smile, “You’re coming back to Lithoria for Henry, aren’t you?*
Debra and Henry had dated before, but Debra chose to go abroad for her career and broke up with Henry. Over the years, Henry hadn’t found a new girlfriend, and everyone knew he was waiting for Debra.
Debra blushed as she glanced at jennifer and said, “Don’t be ridiculous. I just think Lithoria is closer to home, and I want to spend more time with my parents.
Seeing her shyness, Jennifer didn’t tease her further and smiled. “Henry’s coming to my grandfather’s birthday party tonight. I make sure you get a chance to be alone with him”
Debra shook her head. “No need. There are some misunderstandings between us that haven’t been cleared up yet. Il handle it myself”
“Alright, but if you need any help, just let me know.”
“Sure, oh, and there’s something I wanted to tell you
Debra took out her phone, opened a video, and showed it to Jennifer. “I saw this at the Velvet Club the day I returned home. I’ve been hesitant to tell you!
The video showed Kenneth and Angela entangled together. Jennifer’s smile faded.

Chapter 18
Jennie, you might want to keep an eye on your twin sister. Who knows what she’s been up to behind your back when you’re not here! Be careful She might steal Kenneth away”
Debra wasn’t aware of Angela and Kennethy’s marriage. She always thought Jennifer and Kenneth were a couple, so her first thought was Angela was secretly seducing Kenneth behind Jennifer’s back.
Jennifer forced a smile and naively responded, “Debra, this video doesn’t prove anything. Maybe Angela ran into some trouble at the bar, and Kenneth was just helping her out of respect for me.”
Debra couldn’t help but shake her head. “Jennie, you have no idea. That night at the bar, she was flirting with a gigolo, even feeding him fruit. That was crazy. Don’t think she’s innocent.”
After a few seconds of silence, Jennifer bit her lips and asked, “Debra, you said Angela was flirting with a gigolo. Do you have any proof?”
“I didn’t catch it on camera, but the bar’s surveillance must hav
Seeing Jennifer not responding. Debra suddenly suggested. “Jennie, I’ve got a great idea!”
Jennifer looked at Debra, puzzled. “What is it”
Debra whispered something into Jennifer’s ear. Looking a bit reluctant, Jennifer replied, “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“What part of it isn’t good! It’s settled then, don’t worry, I’ve got this!”
“BUL…
Debra frowned impatiently and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, “No buts. Trust me, I’m right on this!”
Jennifer nodded and feigned resignation. “Alright then.”
As they continued shopping for clothes, Jennifer was scheming how to perfect Debra’s plan.
Wretched Angela, since you won’t step aside, I guess I’ll have to handle myself!‘
Meanwhile, Angela had gone straight to the office that morning
When B
Brenda came to deliver some documents, she also handed over an invitation from the Lewis family.
The Lewis family has invited you to Robert’s birthday party”
Noticing Brenda’s teasing look, Angela responded indifferently. “Looks like you’re not busy enough
Brenda smiled and put the invitation on the table, “I’m just curious. How would the Lewis family react if they knew you were Anna, the founder of Empyria Group? Would they regret how they treated you before?”
Brenda had once witnessed Paul and Karen’s favoritism towards Jennifer at a banquet and had even felt sympathy for Angela for a while.
Later, after Brenda’s family went bankrupt, she came to Empyria Group for an interview. Seeing Angela sitting at the center of the interview panel with a CEO’s nameplate in front of her, Brenda suddenly felt she should pity herself more.
Angela glanced at her. “You’re thinking too much.”
“Sweetheart, why don’t you come with me to the party! Ill publicly announce your status as the CEO of Empyria Group. The Lewis family’s reactions..especially your bitchy sister, will be priceless!
“Not interested. I’m going to the party with Kenneth tonight.”
Brenda’s eyes widened in shock. “Aren’t you two getting a divorce! How come you’re still going to the party together?”
Upon hearing this, Angela frowned in irritation, and her voice deepened, “Something came up. We haven’t divorced yet.”
Brenda looked at her and hesitated, slowly asking, “You’re not having second thoughts about the divorce, right?”
Angela was about to respond when her phone on the table suddenly rang
Seeing it was
it was Nicole Dawson, Jovelle Fashion’s store manager, Angela was confused
As soon as she answered. Nicole’s anxious voice came through. “Ms. Lewis, the new staff member accidentally displayed the Heartfall you made in the store. Now a customer is interested and is offering to pay double the price to buy it.”
