Chapter 70
Angela always solved her problems on her own, which was why Keh began to ignore her and take her for granted.
After a few seconds of silence, Angela looked at Keh and said, "Mr. Sinclair, I know this matter has affected you too. I'm sorry, and I promise to resolve it as soon as possible."
A wave of anger surged in Keh's heart, and he coldly asked, "Is that what I mean?"
He just wanted to help her, but in her eyes, it seemed he was just worried about his impact.
"Whether it is or not, I'll handle it quickly. I've finished eating. I'm going to work now."
After Angela's figure disappeared at the villa's entrance, Keh furiously swept all the breakfast off the table onto the floor, his expression dark and frightening.
The terrified cook trembled and didn't dare to come forward to clean up.
She would have quit this nerve-wracking job long ago if it weren't for the high salary.
Elsewhere, at Lewis Manor.
When Karen returned home, Paul and Jennifer were already waiting for her.
Paul didn't attend the press conference this time to prevent Angela from gaining a place in Keh's heart.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Keh could claim ignorance if he really troubled the Lewis family for Angela's sake. He didn't believe Keh would bother a woman.
As soon as Jennifer saw Karen, she rushed over with sympathy. "Mom, you've worked hard!"
Karen shook her head. "What hard work? All this is for our family."
As for Angela, she had already been excluded from this family.
"Mom, you didn't rest well last night. Rest now. Under public pressure, Angela will surely withdraw the lawsuit."
A hint of disgust flashed in Karen's eyes when Angela was mentioned. "Let her be. If she doesn't withdraw, we'll think of something else!"
"Angela will surely understand your hardship!"
Karen frowned, "Jennie, I'm going to rest."
"Okay."
After Karen left, Jennifer's lips curled into a smile. Angela's identity as a mistress would soon be confirmed. After all, Karen had publicly denounced her. Even if she didn't want to admit it, this humiliating title would follow her for life.
Jennifer didn't want to be so harsh, but Angela had clung to Keh!
When Angela arrived at the Empyria Group building, she saw a crowd of reporters downstairs.
She slightly frowned and went directly to the underground parking lot, taking the elevator to the top floor.
Brenda followed her into the office as soon as she reached the top floor.
"What do you plan to do about this morning's incident?"
After a few seconds of silence, Angela said, "I will handle this matter within today. You go back to work."
"Do you need my help?"
Upon hearing this, Angela looked up at her in surprise. "What help can you offer?"
"I can be your cheerleader!"
Angela was speechless.
"Alright, you better get to work. This won't affect me much."
Brenda stared at her for a few seconds, making sure there was no sad or upset expression on her face before she turned and left.
After the office quieted down, Angela sent a message to that person on WhatsApp with an utterly black profile picture.
[Do me a favor.]
A famous entertainment star suddenly posted on Instagram at one in the afternoon.
The caption read: [Ms. Lewis asked me to release the full version of this recording and the previous phone records between Ms. Lewis and Mrs. Lewis believe theizens will judge who is right and who is wrong.]
The post included two audio recordings.
After listening to the recordings, someizens began to doubt Karen's words.
[Who knew Karen had two faces? She acted so upset at the press conference but spoke to her own daughter with such an attitude. How can she pretend so well?]
[I'm just here for the gossip, no comments!]
[Even though Karen was harsh to Angela, isn't Angela also at fault? Her attitude towards Karen isn't any better!]
[Isn't anyone talking about Paul? To avoid affecting the Lewis Group, he made Angela apologize. Such a tactic is disgusting!]
*****
With the trending searches and traffic bought by Angela, that topic stayed high on the list, and theizens kept arguing.
When Karen woke up, she thought Angela would come back to apologize, but instead, she found herself being heavily criticized online.
She was so angry she almost smashed her phone. After having Angela donate bone marrow, she should have sent her away instead of keeping her in the Lewis family!
The stock price of the Lewis Group continued to fall as if someone was manipulating it from behind. During the meeting, Paul was sarcastically mocked by the shareholders.
He was already upset, and this made him even angrier. He immediately called Karen.
"You incompetent fool! Fix the mess on the inte immediately, or I won't let you off!"
Karen, a wealthy lady who usually just shopped, had no idea how to handle such a situation and went to Jennifer, bewildered.
"Jennie, what should I do? Didn't you
say that if we held a press conference, Angela would be unable to withstand the pressure and drop the lawsuit? How did it turn out like this?"
Jennifer quickly tried to calm her. "Mom, don't panic. Angela didn't handle this well. How could she post our family matters online for others to comment on!"
Karen sneered bitterly, gritting her teeth. "She just can't stand to see us happy, thinking I favor you, so she wants revenge!"
After a moment of silence, Jennifer finally made up her mind.
"Mom, I'm going to see Keh. If he steps in, this will definitely get solved!"
"Yes, hurry up and go! He likes you so much. He'll definitely listen to you!"
Jennifer went straight to the Sinclair Group. The moment she saw Keh, tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
"Keh, you have to help me this time!"
Keh frowned and spoke indifferently. "If you're here about the stuff on the inte, then go back. I won't help you."
Jennifer didn't expect him to be so heartless, and her tears fell.
"Keh, I really don't know who else to turn to. And you wouldn't want to see Angela and the Lewis family completely fall out, right?"
"It was Mrs. Lewis who held the press conference to cut ties with her. You should go and persuade Mrs. Lewis not to come to me."
Jennifer's face stiffened, and her hands at her sides unconsciously clenched.
"Keh, this matter indeed wasn't thought through by my mom. And it's already blown up, affecting the stock prices of both the Lewis Group and the Sinclair Group. If you don't go and talk to Angela, it might lead
to even bigger losses!" Content

Keh was silent for a while, then said coldly, "Jennifer, don't treat me like a fool. Do you think your mom could organize a press conference all by herself?"
Jennifer involuntarily stepped back, looking at him in shock. "Keh, are you doubting me?"
