Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela)

Chapter 10

Angela spoke with an indifferent expression. “She’s done everything your wife should do. You two are just lacking a marriage certificate.

Kenneth stared intently at Angela’s face, searching for any trace of sadness, but he failed. He felt she truly didn’t care about him anymore.

For some reason, a twinge of pain surged in Kenneth’s heart.

He turned away and said coldly, “As long as we’re still married, you should take care of me.”

Angela, feeling somewhat irritated and not in the mood to talk with Kenneth, took out her phone and removed Jennifer from the blacklist, sending her a message.

At Lewis Manor, Jennifer, who had just finished bathing and was preparing to sleep, turned pale with anger upon seeing Angela’s message.

She thought to herself, ‘Angela, that bitch. She quickly got dressed, went downstairs, and happened to meet Karen and Paul, who were back from a party. Seeing her heading out, they couldn’t help but frown.

Karen asked, “Jennie, where are you going this late?”

Jennifer smiled wryly, looking at Karen. “Mom, Kenneth has drunk too much and is alone at home. I’m worried about him, so I will check on

him.”

Karen stole a covert glance at Paul, who was expressionless, and then smiled at Jennifer. “It’s too late now. It’s not safe for you to drive yourself. Let David take you there.”

“Okay, thanks, Mom.”

After Jennifer left, Karen thoughtfully said, “It seems Kenneth still has feelings for Jennifer. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have informed her of

this.”

Paul nodded. “Tell Jennie to seize this opportunity. Fortunately, not many people know about Kenneth and Angela’s marriage, so it won’t affect her next marriage in the future.”

Whether Angela or Jennifer married Kenneth was the same for Paul, as long as it benefited his company.

Paul planned to match Angela up with another man who could benefit the Lewis family when she divorced Kenneth.

Kenneth and Angela arrived at the villa in silence along the way. Seeing the lights on, Kenpeth frowned involuntarily.

Apart from him and Angela, hardly anyone came to this villa, especially at such a late hour.

He asked, “Did you come back today?”

Angela responded calmly, “You’ll find out when you open the door.” As Kenneth entered the password and opened the door, he saw Jennie, and his gaze instantly turned cold.

He asked, “Angela, what do you mean?”

She turned around and quickly walked towards the entrance,

Meanwhile, outside the door, Kenneth looked at Angela in anger, feeling his heart sinking

He thought, ‘I can’t believe Angela went this far. How dare she call Jennie to our house! Does she realize what this means?”

Angela’s expression was indifferent, and she said coldly, “Didn’t you say you drank too much? So, I called over the person you’ve been longing for to take care of you. You should thank me!”

“What did you say?”

Seeing Kenneth’s disbelief look, Angela spoke coldly, lacking the patience to continue to argue with him. “I’ve already called her over for you.

I won’t stay here to disturb you two. Just sign the divorce papers and send them to me.”

Angela turned and left decisively, showing no sign of reluctance.

Furious, Kenneth was about to chase after her, but his arm was suddenly grabbed.

Jennie said, “Kenneth… I made you some lemonade. Come in and have some.”

Looking at Jennifer’s cautious demeanor, Kenneth frowned and withdrew his hand. “Jennifer, you should go back now.”

Jennifer shook her head. “Kenneth, I won’t leave. I’ll stay here with you. Angela messaged me that you were drunk, and I’m worried about

you.”

Kenneth’s expression turned gloomy. He said coldly, “She told you the villa’s password, didn’t she?”

“Yes…”

Seeing Kenneth’s face darken, Jennifer quickly said, “If you don’t want me to come over, I won’t come next time. Please don’t be mad at me.”

Kenneth closed his eyes briefly

“I’ll just sit quietly by your side. I won’t disturb you,”

“I’ll have Tom take y

“Kenneth said.

“Kenneth…” Jennie called softly.

“Enough!”

Jennifer bit her lower lip and reluctantly nodded. “Alright, but if you feel unwell, you must call me.”

“Okay,” Kenneth replied.

After Jennifer left, Kenneth closed the door, walked into the living room, and saw the divorce agreement still on the table. He became even more angry with a cold look, quickly walked over, picked up the agreement, and tore it up before throwing pieces into the trash.

He thought, “I will never divorce her!”

The next morning, as soon as Angela arrived at the office, Frank Black came in and approached her.

He looked furious, glaring at Angela. “Ms. Lewis, you’ve laid off half of my team. Isn’t that a bit too much?”

Angela, indifferent, raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Black, please calm down. I will communicate with HR department. When hiring, I’ll consider the people once in your departments first.”

Frank’s face turned red with anger. He thought, ‘That wasn’t what I meant.”

Angela laid off the relatives he arranged into the company. He had been bombarded with calls all morning, everyone asking what had happened.

Originally, Frank used to work on a construction site, moving bricks. By chance, he met Angela. At that time, Frank’s family was poor, but he had helped Angela, so she gave him ten percent of the shares of the Empyria Group.

At first, Frank didn’t think much of it, but as the Empyria Group grew under Angela’s leadership, his dividends reached millions annually. That was when he realized how valuable a ten percent share of the Empyria Group was.

Initially, Frank was grateful to Angela, but the sudden wealth also greatly changed him.

Under the flattery of relatives and people from his hometown, Frank became increasingly arrogant, enjoying the feeling of offering positions to relatives and being admired by them.

Now that Angela had fired all his relatives, he felt humiliated and grew dissatisfied with Angela.

He said, “Ms. Lewis, even if we hire new employees, it will take time. And who can guarantee the newcomers will immediately handle the jobs of those laid off? My departments will surely collapse without them.”

Angela put down the document in her hand and looked at him with piercing eyes, seemingly able to see through everything

Frank didn’t dare to look at her eyes and felt intimidated by her gaze. He thought as if she could read his mind for some reason.

Angela smiled, “So, Mr. Black, what’s your suggestion?”

Frank quickly said, “Ms. Lewis, you’ve just returned and are unfamiliar with the company’s operations. I suggest you figure out how the company works and what each department does, then consider layoffs.”

After a moment of silence, Angela nodded thoughtfully, “It makes sense, Mr. Black.”

Frank was pleased, thinking Angela was easy

fool and that he could continue to arrange his relatives into the company,

But Angela’s next words froze him in place. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

She said, “Mr. Black, since you are here, why don’t you tell me now what your departments have been doing these past years and what the people I laid off were doing every day?”
