Chapter 26

Kenneth glared at Angela, exuding a sense of chillness. She felt suffocated under his gaze as if being oppressed by a rock.

With Kenneth’s approach, Angela even felt the temperature around her drop rapidly.

He was furious

In fact, Angela had never seen Kenneth this angry.

After stopping in front of Angela, Kenneth laughed scornfully. “You’re going too far. Now you dare to come to the Courthouse and finalize the divorce all by yourself, huh?”

Angela knew that Donna must have done this behind Kenneth’s back, and Kenneth somehow knew it. That was why he had shown up instead.

She hid the divorce agreement behind her and met his gaze without any guilt.

“Mr. Sinclair, have you come to join me in finalizing the agreement?”

Noticing she hid the paper at her back, Kenneth sneered, “Angela, even if you nunage to get a divorce agreement signed by me, you’ll never be able to end this marriage without my consent!”

Angela’s grip tightened. “What on earth will it take for you to agree to a divorce! Do I really need to sleep with another man to make it happen?”

Kenneth was furious that he couldn’t help but laugh, his words cold. “You could try, as long as you’re not afraid of ruining that man!”

Angela pressed her lips, realizing she wouldn’t be able to finalize the divorce today and not wanting to waste more time here. “If there’s nothing else. I’ll be leaving now.”

Noticing the Lamborghini behind Angela, Kenneth frowned, “Whose car is that?”

Angela hadn’t worked in these years and had only just started a job. There was no way she could afford such a car.

Angela smiled, “That seems to have nothing to do with you, Mr. Sinclair.”

Saying this, she ignored Kenneth’s reaction and immediately drove off.

Kenneth watched as the Lamborghini gradually disappeared from sight, his eyes narrowed. “Kevin, find out who owns that Lamborghini!”

Angela had just returned to the Empyria Group when Paul stopped her.

Noticing the car Angela was driving. Paul was a bit surprised. “Angela, did Kenneth buy you this car for commuting?”

He had already figured out that Angela was just an ordinary employee at Empyria Group, probably taking the job to pass the time.

Angela didn’t bother to explain, frowning, “You want to see me?”

She hadn’t expected Paul to track her down at Empyria Group.

Paul smiled warmly, his voice sof, Tve been trying to call you these past few days but couldn’t get through, so I had to come in person. Come home this weekend. Your grandpa and grandma miss you.”

Angela was silent for a few seconds before looking at Paul and saying, “Got it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to work.”

“Alright, then it’s settled. I’ll have a driver pick you up on Saturday”

After Paul left, Angela turned and walked into her office.

Before she knew it, it was time to get off work in the evening. Not wanting to face Kenneth at home, she decided to work overtime at the office.

Around 10 o’clock, just as she was preparing to leave, she suddenly received a call from Brenda.

“Angie, I’m so sad. Can you co

come and be with me?”

Brenda was sobbing and Angela quickly responded, “Where are you? I’m on my way!”

After Brenda gave her the name of a club, Angela hung up.

Angela hurried to her car, driving with a mix of confusion and concern. Jut Brenda supposed to be celebrating her birthday with her boyfriend tonight!‘ she thought

Arriving at the private room in the club, Angela couldn’t help but frown when she saw the scattered bottles everywhere.

Brenda was crying, sitting in the comer of the couch with a wine bottle in hand. Her makeup was a mess, with mascara smudged around her eyes and tears streaming down. She looked completely disheveled.

Angela walked over and sat beside her, gently taking the bonle away from her hands. “What happened? Where’s your boyfriend”

Angela’s words seemed to hit a nerve in Brenda, who burst into crying harder, her words broken and choked. “That jerk. I’ve just dumped him.”

Through Brenda’s story. Angela pieced together what had happened.

Her boyfriend had asked her for dinner today, and she thought he was planning to celebrate her birthday. Instead, he broke up with her

The reason was his high school crush had returned from abroad, and he decided to be with his crush again.

After listening. Angela gently patted Brenda’s back. “Don’t be upset. It’s better to see his true colors sooner rather than later. You’ll find someone much better.”

Brenda’s eyes were swollen from crying, but she still reached out to snatch the bottle from Angela’s hand.

me the wine! I want to drink…

Angela s set the bottle aside. “No more drinking. You’re already drunk. I’ll take you home.”

“No, I’m not drunk yet! I want more!!

י

Angela didn’t want to argue with a drunk and simply put Brenda’s arm onto her shoulder, carrying her away.

After dropping Brenda off at home, Angela was about to leave when she suddenly realized her phone was missing.

She remembered she was possibly leaving it in the private room at the club.

Returning to the club at past eleven, Angela went straight to the private room

Ax she pushed open the door, she saw a burly man playing with a silver phone in his hand.

Narrowing her eyes, Angela approached him.

“Excuse me, sir, that phone is mine. Could you give it to me?”

Angela’s arrival caused everyone in the private room to stop and stare at her, their eyes filled with the anticipation of drama. It seemed Angela was u

Angela was unaware of who Jagger Moore really was. Otherwise, she wouldn’t dare to be so bold.

Jagger was astonished when he saw Angela’s face, thinking that Angela was far more beautiful than any woman he had met before.

He looked at Angela with desire in her eyes, teasing. “Hot stuff, do you have any proof that this phone is yours!”

Angela patiently responded, “I can unlock this phone”

Jagger chuckled, nodding. “Alright, let’s assume the phone is yours. But since I found it, don’t you think you should offer something in return to get it back?”

“What kind of return are you looking for!”

“It’s simple,” he said, “Finish these three glasses of drink, and I’ll return the phone.”

Angela glanced at the drinks on the table. “Are y

Jagger smiled and handed the phone to Angela

“Thank you.”

Angela turned and left the room straight away. The people in the private room exchanged knowing looks. It seemed that Angela had become Jagger’s target for tonight.

guys to follow her and take

Watching Angela’s retreating figure, Jagger smiled smugly. He turned to someone next to him and said, “Get a couple her directly to my room.”

Not long after leaving the room, Angela sensed something was wrong. She felt indescribable heat in her body and couldn’t even keep her legs.

She leaned against the wall and planned to leave here as soon as possible when someo shouted behind her.

“There she is! Grab her, quick!”
