Angela suddenly turned around and stared coldly at Kenneth. “What are you trying to say?”

“Just go to dinner with me, and IT secure the deal with the Lewis Croup.” Kenneth replied.

After a moment of eye contact with Kenneth, Angela suddenly laughed. “Mr. Sinclair, if 1 dine with them and you give a deal to the Lewis Group. aren’t they too lucky?”

Kenneth looked at her coldly, sensing an underlying meaning in her words.

Her smile turned sarcastic the next second,

She said, “Everyone at the Lewis Group would want to go to dinner with you for such a good chance. Let them gof

Angela got out of the car. Kenneth stared after her with a cold gaze. “Angela, if Brenda keeps retaliating against Debra, pushing Henry too far, she won’t gain anything!”

Angela hesitated but eventually turned back to look at Kenneth coldly.

She said, “So what? Are we really supposed to let Debra bully us just because Brenda and I aren’t as powerful as Henry?”

Kenneth fell silent before speaking. “Why make things worse when we can find a peaceful way out?”

our friend. I don’t blame you

Angela took a deep breath, looking straight into Kenneth’s eyes. “You only want a peaceful solution because Henry is your for siding with him, but don’t try to push your opinions onto me.”

Kenneth felt Angela was being unreasonable. “Angela, Henry is willing to compensate for the dress, and he and Debra want to apologize. What more do you want!”

That dress took Angela a month to design, and she had looked forward to seeing Brenda wear it.

But Debra not only stole Brenda’s boyfriend and paraded around in that dress but also deliberately damaged it. Angela couldn’t bear this insult!

“What if it was Jennifer’s dress that got ruined? Would you still be so calm Angela asked.

Seeing Kenneth fall silent, Angela wryly smiled, “Compared to Jennifer, I mean nothing to you, right? Kenneth, having mean you can harm me as you like.”

When he heard the word before, Kenneth’s expression turned gloomy, anger rising in his heart

“What exactly do you want?” he asked,

Disappolmed, Angela looked at him coldly and began to doubt why she ever liked Kenneth.

“You asked the wrong person. You should ask Brenda.” After saying that, Angela turned and walked away.

That night, Angela went straight back to her villa in Northpoint. A cold war began between them.

For Angela, life didn’t change much; not seeing Kenneth made her feel much better.

A week later, Brenda came to see Angela.

Brenda said, “Angle, Henry’s secretary called me. Henry and Debra want to make amends, and Debra is willing to apologize.

Seeing Brenda’s complex expression, Angela smiled gently, “What do you think?”

“I just wanted Debra to apologize to me at first.”

Hearing this, Angela nodded. “Okay, then do as you wish. But don’t let her off too easily. Make sure she remembers this lesson.”

“Yeah, I’ve decided to make her apologize on the largest advertising screen in Lithoria.”

“That sounds good. I got your back.”

With Angela’s support, Brenda finally relaxed, though she looked guiltily at Angela. “Sorry about Heartfall, the dress you designed for me. I wish I

I’ve been thinking about it, and I still feel sorry for all your hard work.”

“Well, if so, how about treating me to a meal?”

Brenda hugged her tightly. “Angle, you’re so good to me!”

Knowing she had to apologize to Brenda on Lithonia’s largest advertising screen, Debra was so furious that she smashed everything in the living

She felt indignant at having to apologize to Brendal

Debra swore she wouldn’t let Brenda off

The news of Debra’s public apology to Brenda spread quickly. After some inquiries, Jennifer found out the details and immediately thought Debra was incredibly foolish

Debra had put herself in this situation over a dress.

Jennifer decided to act as if she knew nothing about it and didn’t comfort Debra.

The day for Debra to apologize was just around the

Debra choked up several times during the apology, overwhelmed by anger rather

Someone recorded a video and posted it online, but the Hastings Group quickly suppressed it. The incident was only circulated by a few people, but Debra still felt humiliated and locked herself at home for three days before she was willing to go out.

Brenda received not only Debra’s apology but also four million dollars from Henry.

This time, Brenda accepted it. She had planned to give the money to Angela, but Angela refused it.

Brenda said, “If you won’t take it, let me treat you and Patrick to dinner tonight. He helped me a lot this time, and my lawyer was introduced by him

Angela raised an eyebrow. “Is that what your dinner with Patrick was all about!”

“Yes, Are you free tonight? I’ll ask if Patrick is available.”

Fon this one, you can go ahead with Patrick.”

“I’ll pass o

As Brenda was messaging Patrick, she looked up at Angels, puzzled. “Did you and Patrick have a fallin

Angela shook her head. “No, nothing major, just some personal issues. I suppose I’ll have to keep my distance from him for a while.”

Brenda wanted to ask more, but Angela said, “Alright, I’ve got work to do. You should go

“I’ll treat you alone another day.”

“Sure.”

After Brenda left, Angela was about to read some documents, but her phone rang.

Seeing it was Beatrice, Angela couldn’t help but smile and quickly answered, “Grandma, why did you call me today? Aren’t you playing cards!”

In the Sinclair family, only Beatrice truly cared for Angela. So, even though she and Kenneth were about to divorce, Angela didn’t want to be distant

from Beatrice.

Beatrice snorted. “Angie, have you forgotten about me? It’s b been so long since visited

Angela hurriedly replied, “How could I forget? I’ve just been really busy with work. I’ll come to see you as soon as I can!”

Beatrice sounded displeased. “Don’t wait any longer. Come over tonight. Ell have the chef prepare your favorite fried chicken!”

After saying that. Beatrice hung up.

Hearing the beep on the phone, Angela fels a mix of amusement and helplessness at Beatrice’s domineering way.

Bat Angela liked it!

Alter work. Angela drove to Harmony Manor.

Chapter 35

Harmony Manor was designed by Jacob and Beatrice when Jacob was still alive.

Several years passed after Jacob’s passing, bur Heatrice refused to move to live with Richard and Donna. She said she wanted to live there surrounded by the memories of living with Jacob until those memories faded away.

Harmony Manor was built halfway up a hill. Jacob had purchased the entire hill just for it.

As Angela drove to the base of the hill and saw the neatly lined maple trees whose leaves were beginning to yellow, she felt it was a pity that it was night and she couldn’t see them clearly; they must be beautiful during the day.

Ten minutes later, Angela arrived at the gates of Harmony Manor, where a servant promptly opened the gate.

She parked her car in the courtyard and saw Kenneth feeding the dog in the corridor.

This was the first time they had met since their unpleasant encounter outside the Empyria Group building.
