Divorce
Chapter 15
Peter hurriedly shook his head. âNo..I was just kidding earlier, Ms. Lewis. Please forgive me⦠Donât take it to heart..
As he spoke, Peter even started to slap his own face.
Angela looked at him coldly, unwavering
It was only after Peterâs face turned red from slapping himself that Angela calmly walked aside and turned to leave.
As he glared at Angela. Peterâs eyes, previously filled with fear, instantly turned sinister.
He vowed to himself that he would not let Angela off for todayâs humiliation.
As Angela left, Kenneth also turned to go upstairs.
His expression was indifferent, but he started to doubt Angela,
He considered having Kevin investigate her
He always thought she was just the longâlost daughter of the Lewis family and Jenniferâs twin sister.
In the three years of their marriage, she had taken care of him with dedication and looked like just an ordinary woman, but todayâs incident had surprised him.
Owen, also stunned, turned to Kenneth and said. âKenneth, Angela just hit Peter. Given Peterâs vengeful nature, heâs sure to cause trouble for her. Arenât you going to do anything?â
Kenneth replied indifferently. âShe didnât ask for my help, so why should I meddler
âBut she is your wifeâ
When he heard this, Kennethâs expression grew colder as he coldly said, âMaybe not for much longer.â
Owen looked surprised. âAre you planning to divorce Angel and get back with Jennifer?â
Kenneth didnât respond, and Owen took it as a yes, saying, âYouâve always liked Jennifer. It would be better for both you and Angels if you divorce.â
âThe divorce was Angelaâs idea.â
Owen was genuinely shocked. Everyone knew how much Angela adored Kenneth during their three years of marriage. It was hard to believe she would suggest a divorce.
âAre you sure? If she asks for a divorce, what are you waiting for! Is she demanding too much in alimony?â
Kenneth glanced at him coldly, growing more irritated by Owenâs words. âDonât you have anything better to do? Did you resolve that issue with the young starlet?
They walked into the private room where Henry and Upton were already waiting.
Seeing Kennethâs gloomy expression, Henry couldnât help but say, âKenneth, why the long face?
Kenneth remained silent, but Owen said with a teasing tone. âHeâs upset about being asked for a divorce. Better not to askâ
Henry was momentarily taken aback, then said, âLetâs just enjoy our meal and forget about the things that upset usâ
None of them were optimistic about Kenneth and Angelaâs marriage, especially now that Jennifer had returned to the country. Their marriage seemed even more precarious.
No one noticed that Upton, who had been quiet all along, tightened his grip on his water glass,
After dinner, Henry and Owen suggested going to the Royal Bar for drinks.
Kenneth said. âYou guys go ahead. I have something to do tonightâ
After Kenneth left, Upton also excused himself to go home.
Henry turned to Owen. âSince theyâre busy, letâs just find a bar and have a drink
Owen shook his head with a smile. âI have a date with my girlfriend. Bye!
12.10 PM
Chapter 15
Henry was momentarily stunned
After a few seconds of silence, he said, âYou really move on fast. I hope
ope this one isnât another starletâ
âSheâs not. Iâll bring her over to meet you guys next time.â
âSo, youâre serious this timeâ
âI always take relationships seriouslyâ
Henry rolled his eyes. âFine, go then. Iâm heading home too. Itâs boring without you guys.â
It was already past nine in the evening when Kenneth returned to the villa
As soon as he entered, he saw Angela with a bag, ready to leave
She had changed into a tracksuit and tied her long hair into a ponytail, looking confident and beautiful.
He asked, âWhere are you going! Itâs so Lace
Angela hadnât expected Kenneth to return at this time. She responded indifferently after a brief moment of surprise, Tve got something to do. I probably wonât be back for a few days.â
Kenneth grabbed her hand abruptly, staring at her coldly. âAngela, youâre my wife! I will not allow you to go out this late.â
Angela, annoyed, shook off his hand. âItâs not your business. You used to be away for days on end. I agreed to come back, but that doesnât mean you can meddle in my life
She glanced at her watch; it was almost time for her meeting with Ryan.
He said, âI wonât let you step out of this villa until you explain what youâre up to
Angela looked up at him and said sternly. âMove aside!â
Kenneth remained silent, staring back coldly.
Having witnessed Angelaâs skills today, he knew she was formidable, but he believed he wouldnât lose to her in a fight.
He thought if she started a fight, it would be the perfect opportunity for him to question her about when she had learned to fight
Angels looked at him expressionlessly. Just as Kenneth was about to ask, a faint ding caught his attention.
Confused, he frowned, but Angela began to count down before he could react
XâThree.
âTwoâ
As Angela uuered the last number, Kenneth lost consciousness.
Angela dragged Kenneth to the sofa and left without looking back.
When Kenneth woke up, it was already the next morning,
Rubbing his temples, he suddenly remembered something. He opened his eyes, noticed Angelaâs absence, and frowned.
He immediately called Kevin. Find out where Angela is now.â
Meanwhile, in the tropical rainforest, a team quickly advanced deeper into the jungle, each member moving swiftly
There were about a dozen people dressed in camouflage, each with various injuries, but none lagged behind, indicating a wellâtrained
The leader brought everyone to a riverbank and said, âOnce we cross this river, weâll be safeâ
Before they y could relax, a gunshot sounded from a distance. The leader was hit by a bullet in the forehead
As he fell, gunfire erupted around them, and in an instant, only four or five of the dozen or so people remained. Somenor shouted, âJump into the river!â
group.

With splashes, the river turned murky.
Angela, motionless, watched the river intently.
Then, Ryanâs deep voice came through the earpiece. Julie, the main target is to eliminate Quentin. The others are just small fry and Prepare to retreat.â
pose no threat.
Angela frowned slightly, as she always preferred to leave no loose ends. But as Ryan was in charge of this mission and he ordered a retreat, she had to do so.
She put away her
gun
and turned to leave, but Ryanâs urgent voice came through. âWatch out!â
Angela sensed the danger and swiftly dodged to the side. A bullet grazed her cheek, making her bleed.
She fired in the direction the bullet came from, and before the shooter could fire a second shot, he fell to the ground, lifeless.
Ryan whistled and praised with admiration, âClassic Julie, always so fastâ
Angela responded coolly, âI have other things to handle. Just transfer my pay to my account.â
After saying that, she hung up.
Kenneth had his people search for three days, yet they couldnât find any clue about Angelaâs whereabouts.
During these days, he grew increasingly irritable, and no one at the company dared to approach him.
Kevin said, âMr. Sinclair, here is the information I found on Ms. Lewis
Kenneth took the document and glanced at it, and found nothing new compared to what he had already known.
He slammed it on the table angrily. âIs this all youâve found in three days?â
