Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela) novel Chapter 71

"I was just speaking about the facts."

Jennifer's face turned pale, and after a long silence, she finally choked out. "I can't believe you think of me this way now. After all these years we've known each other, is this really how you see me?"

Kenneth pressed his thin lips together and didn't speak, his expression somewhat cold.

Jennifer waited for a while, but when Kenneth didn't come to comfort her, she felt even more wronged and ran out of Kenneth's office, crying.

As she reached the door, she bumped into Kevin, who was there to deliver the Tears of the Angel necklace to Kenneth.

The last time Kenneth had given him the Tears of the Angel, Kevin noticed some damage and had sent it off for repair. It had just been returned.

Already upset, Jennifer nearly fell when bumped. She steadied herself, her first reaction being anger.

Just as she was about to speak, her eyes landed on the necklace in Kevin's hand, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Mr. Brown, that necklace is..."

Jennifer thought that perhaps Kenneth had planned to give it to her early, so he had Kevin bring it over while she was not paying attention.

"Hello, Ms. Lewis. This necklace was sent for maintenance some time ago and has just been shipped back from abroad. I came to deliver it to Mr. Sinclair."

Jennifer's eyes were almost glued to the necklace. She bit her lower lip and said, "You go in. I'm leaving now."

After Kevin entered Kenneth's office, Jennifer slowly walked to the elevator, hoping Kenneth would come out to give her the necklace.

But after waiting for three elevators, Kenneth still hadn't appeared.

Impatiently, she stomped her foot. 'Fine, if he doesn't give it, I don't care!'

At the Lithoria Police Station.

Zenas Jenkins, with his lawyer, tried to bail out Flora and Debra but was unsuccessful. As he was leaving, someone whispered something in his ear, turning his face extremely grim.

Getting into the car, Zenas commanded coldly, "Go to the Sinclair Group!"

Half an hour later, Kevin came to report.

"Mr. Sinclair, Mr. Jenkins wishes to see you."

"I'm busy."

Zenas waited at the Sinclair Group all afternoon. Finally, at past five in the evening, he saw Kenneth.

He hurried over. "Mr. Sinclair, can I have a few minutes? I need to talk to you."

Kenneth looked at him coldly, his tone indifferent. "Mr. Jenkins, you shouldn't be here."

Zenas quickly understood. "Mr. Sinclair, please, if you could forgive them, I'll make sure my wife and daughter personally apologize to Mrs. Sinclair!"

Kenneth replied, "Talking to me is useless. Speak to my wife. If she agrees to forgive them, I won't trouble you."

"Understood!"

Zenas, the CEO of the Jenkins Group, wouldn't simply show up at the door. He first had the PR department issued a statement online, claiming Debra's previous remarks were false, merely to gain publicity for a movie, and that she realized her mistake.

The PR manager hesitated after hearing this. "Mr. Jenkins, if we release this, Ms. Jenkins' career in show business might be difficult."

Zenas looked serious. "She brought it on herself by provoking the wrong people."

The PR manager nodded. "Alright, I understand."

Angela shook her head and replied, "No need for dinner. I have other things to do. I'll be going now."

She had only walked a few steps when Zenas caught up with her.

"Ms. Lewis, may I have a word with you?"

Angela looked at him indifferently. "Mr. Jenkins, I accept your apology, but I can't help with the matter concerning Ms. Jenkins and Mrs. Jenkins."

Zenas quickly said, "Ms. Lewis, whatever your conditions are, please state them. I know they went too far this time. I assure you that they will personally apologize to you when released!"

If it were the Lewis family, Zenas might have used some tactics, but against Kenneth, any such tactics would only hasten the demise of the Jenkins family.

After a moment of silence, Angela said slowly, "Alright, since you're sincere, I can drop the lawsuit. But how do you want Flora and Ms. Jenkins to apologize to me?"

"I'll personally organize a banquet and invite the high society of Lithoria to attend. They'll publicly apologize to you, and we'll record a video to post online. Will that satisfy you?"

Angela's expression remained unchanged as she nodded. "That's acceptable. But I advise you to not just focus on business. Pay attention to who your wife and daughter associate with. If they are used again, I won't be so lenient!"

Zenas hastily assured her. "Ms. Lewis, don't worry, I'll educate them well!"

That night, Debra and Flora, detained for several days, were finally brought back to the Jenkins family.

Zenas looked at them coldly and said through gritted teeth, "Get ready. Angela is coming to our house tomorrow. You will apologize to her in person!"

Debra and Flora were stunned, disbelief in their eyes.

"Dad, I won't do it! Apologizing to Angela is worse than death to me!" Debra exclaimed.

Before she could finish, Zenas slapped her.
