Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela) novel Chapter 58

Seeing Kenneth remain silent, Angela didn't press further and left after changing her shoes.

Upon arriving at the café where she had agreed to meet Brenda, Angela walked briskly and sat down opposite Brenda.

"Angela, what's the hurry in meeting me today?" Angela asked.

Brenda replied, "Angela, my family set me up on a blind date, but I'm busy this afternoon. So, I was hoping you could go meet the guy in my place."

Angela nearly spat out her coffee in shock, thinking, 'She wants me to go on a blind date for her?'

After swallowing her coffee with difficulty, Angela looked at Brenda and asked, "Are you sure you're not joking?"

"Of course not. My dear Angela, please help me out! My matter this afternoon is really important!" Brenda pleaded.

Angela pondered for a moment and then raised an eyebrow. "I can help you, but what's in it for me?"

"What do you want?"

"I'm leaving Lithoria next weekend and might not be back until the weekend after. While I'm gone, I want you to take care of my work."

Angela wasn't keen on returning to a desk piled high with paperwork, only to end up working late to tackle it.

Brenda couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, I agree!"

After reaching an agreement, Brenda gave Angela the restaurant address where she had arranged to meet the blind date and hurried off.

With a few hours to spare before the date, Angela chose not to return to the villa to face Kenneth and instead went to a mall.

Shortly into her shopping, she ran into Debra and Jennifer.

The two women's smiles turned to disgust upon seeing Angela.

Debra, more emotionally charged than Jennifer, coldly glared at Angela. "Angela, you bitch, how dare you show your face around me?!"

Angela frowned, choosing to ignore Debra, and turned to leave.

However, Debra assumed that Angela was acting out of guilt and quickly walked over and blocked her way, exclaiming, "Stop right there! You're the reason Henry and I broke up. Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

She then raised her hand and was about to strike Angela. However, Angela firmly grabbed her wrist. No matter how hard Debra struggled, she couldn't break free.

"Let go of me, you bitch!" Debra screamed.

Right after Debra's outcry, she received a slap across her face.

"Ah!" Debra shouted. Angela pushed her away and retorted, "Debra, your breakup with Henry is your own doing, and it has nothing to do with me. If anyone is to blame, it should be Jennifer, considering that every time you come to bother me, she's the one who helps you out of it!"

Jennifer's expression shifted. "Angela, how can you say that?!"

"You know exactly what I mean!" Angela shot back.

Having just benefited from Jennifer, Debra was not about to heed Angela's words.

"You bitch! Stop trying to stir up trouble! How dare you slap me?! I won't let you get away with this!" Debra yelled.

Debra then lunged at Angela like a madwoman. And in that instant, Angela narrowed her eyes menacingly, grabbed Debra's hand, and delivered another slap.

"If I hear you insult me again, you'll get more than just a couple of slaps!" Angela warned.

After being slapped twice, Debra realized she was no match for Angela and gritted her teeth, irritably yelling, "You'll regret this, Angela!"

Angela said nothing more and simply walked away, leaving Debra and Jennifer behind.

Jennifer quickly helped Debra up, saying, "Debra, I've told you before, Angela knows martial arts. The two of us are no match for her. Why are you still so impulsive?"

Debra, gritting her teeth with hatred and thinking of her failed attempts to reconcile with Henry, said, "Jennie, I can't swallow this insult! Since we can't beat her physically, I'll find another way to deal with her!"

"What will you do?" Jennifer asked.

Debra sneered, "I'm joining a film crew this afternoon. When they see my swollen face, they'll definitely ask what happened. And with the Generations shoot starting next Friday, I'll use that opportunity to make Angela regret her actions today!"
