Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela)

Chapter 71

"I was just speaking about the facts."

Jennifer's face turned pale, and after a long silence, she finally choked out. "I can't believe you think of me this way now. After all these years we've known each other, is this really how you see me?"

Keh pressed his thin lips together and didn't speak, his expression somewhat cold.

Jennifer waited for a while, but when Keh didn't come to comfort her, she felt even more wronged and ran out of Keh's office, crying.

As she reached the door, she bumped into Kevin, who was there to deliver the Tears of the Angel necklace to Keh.

The last time Keh had given him the Tears of the Angel, Kevin noticed some damage and had sent it off for repair. It had just been returned. Already upset, Jennifer nearly fell when bumped. She steadied herself, her first reaction being anger.

Just as she was about to speak, her eyes landed on the necklace in Kevin's hand, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Mr. Brown, that necklace is..."

Jennifer thought that perhaps Keh had planned to give it to her early, so he had Kevin bring it over while she was not paying attention.

"Hello, Ms. Lewis. This necklace was sent for maintenance some time ago and has just been shipped back from abroad. I came to deliver it to Mr. Sinclair."

Jennifer's eyes were almost glued to the necklace. She bit her lower lip and said, "You go in. I'm leaving now."

After Kevin entered Keh's office, Jennifer slowly walked to the elevator, hoping Keh would come out to give her the necklace.

But after waiting for three elevators, Keh still hadn't appeared.

Impatiently, she stomped her foot. 'Fine, if he doesn't give it, I don't care!'

At the Lithoria Police Station.

Zenas Jenkins, with his lawyer, tried to bail out Flora and Debra but was unsuccessful. As he was leaving, someone whispered something in his ear, turning his face extremely grim.

Getting into the car, Zenas commanded coldly, "Go to the Sinclair Group!"

Half an hour later, Kevin came to report.

"Mr. Sinclair, Mr. Jenkins wishes to see you."

"I'm busy."

Zenas waited at the Sinclair Group all afternoon. Finally, at past five in the evening, he saw Keh.

He hurried over. "Mr. Sinclair, can I have a few minutes? I need to talk to you."

Keh looked at him coldly, his tone indifferent. "Mr. Jenkins, you shouldn't be here."

Zenas quickly understood. "Mr. Sinclair, please, if you could forgive them, I'll make sure my wife and daughter personally apologize to Mrs. Sinclair!" Keh replied, "Talking to me is useless. Speak to my wife. If she agrees to forgive them, I won't trouble you."

"Understood!"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Zenas, the CEO of the Jenkins Group, wouldn't simply show up at the door. He first had the PR department issued a statement online, claiming Debra's previous remarks were false, merely to gain publicity for a movie, and that she realized her mistake.

The PR manager hesitated after hearing this. "Mr. Jenkins, if we release this, Ms. Jenkins' career in show business might be difficult."

Zenas looked serious. "She brought it on herself by provoking the wrong people."

The PR manager nodded. "Alright, I understand."

Since Debra was in jail, the Jenkins Group PR manager posted the statement on her Instagram.

The post on Instagram caused an uproar online.

Those who had believed Debra felt tricked and began to criticize her.

[I thought Debra was pitiful, but she's so dishonest! I was so blind!]

[I saw through this trick long ago. Thankfully, I didn't pick sides. I wonder how those who supported Debra and criticized Angela feel now?]

[It's just because powerful people support Angela. Debra must be apologizing because she has no choice!]

[Don't you get it? The statement from Debra also included the full version of Angela hitting her. It was Debra's fault for provoking it. She deserved what she got!]

The online community started

arguing again. Angela had planned

to let Debra stay in the police station for a few days before revealing evidence. Unexpectedly, Debra apologized out of nowhere and released the complete video.

However, Angela didn't take this to heart. She only intended to teach Debra and Flora a lesson.

Putting her phone aside, Angela continued with her work.

When it was time to leave work, the reporters at the base of the Empyria Group building had fled, finding no more news to report.

Just as Angela reached the ground floor, a man in a black suit and sunglasses approached her.

"Ms. Lewis, Mr. Jenkins would like to invite you to dinner to express his apologies," he said. Angela glanced into the car and recognized the man as Debra's father, Zenas.

Her eyes flickered as she asked, "Was that apology on Instagram also Mr. Jenkins' doing?"

Her subordinate nodded. "Ms. Lewis, if there's anything you're unhappy with, please feel free to say it!"

Angela shook her head and replied, "No need for dinner. I have other things to do. I'll be going now."

She had only walked a few steps when Zenas caught up with her.

"Ms. Lewis, may I have a word with you?"

Angela looked at him indifferently. "Mr. Jenkins, I accept your apology, but I can't help with the matter concerning Ms. Jenkins and Mrs. Jenkins."

Zenas quickly said, "Ms. Lewis,

whatever your conditions are, please state them. I know they went too far this time. I assure you that they will personally apologize to you when released!"

If it were the Lewis family, Zenas might have used some tactics, but against Keh, any such tactics would only hasten the demise of the Jenkins family.

After a moment of silence, Angela said slowly, "Alright, since you're sincere, I can drop the lawsuit. But how do you want Flora and Ms. Jenkins to apologize to me?"

"I'll personally organize a banquet and invite the high society of Lithoria to attend. They'll publicly apologize to you, and we'll record a video to post online. Will that satisfy you?"

Angela's expression remained

unchanged as she nodded. "That's acceptable, But I advise you to not just focus on business. Pay

attention to who your wife anal ne

daughter associate with. If they are used again, I won't be so lenient!"

Zenas hastily assured her. "Ms. Lewis, don't worry, I'll educate them well!"

That night, Debra and Flora, detained for several days, were finally brought back to the Jenkins family.

Zenas looked at them coldly and said through gritted teeth, "Get ready. Angela is coming to our house tomorrow. You will apologize to her in person!"

Debra and Flora were stunned, disbelief in their eyes.

"Dad, I won't do it! Apologizing to Angela is worse than death to me!" Debra exclaimed.

Before she could finish, Zenas slapped her.
