Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela) novel Chapter 75

Kenneth looked at her and said calmly, "Whether you praise this necklace or not, I would buy it. It's a gift I'm going to give Angela for our third wedding anniversary."

Jennifer took several steps back in disbelief, tears filling her eyes.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes."

The surrounding people start talking, taunting Jennifer for thinking Kenneth would still wait for her.

Finally, Jennifer couldn't take it anymore and turned to run out of the ballroom.

Kenneth looked coldly at those talking about Jennifer and said, "If I hear any more taunting of Jennifer, suffer the consequences!"

After watching a farce, Angela, without the slightest flutter in her heart, pushed Kenneth toward the crowd.

Among those invited by Zenas were those in charge of Lithoria's major conglomerates, and many of those who wanted to work with the Sinclair Group came up to speak to Kenneth.

Angela stood aside and listened carefully, getting quite a bit of information.

After chatting for a while, Kenneth turned to see Angela with her head lowered as if she was in a daze and said, "If you're bored, you can get something to eat from the dessert section."

Angela returned to her senses and smiled, "No, I think it's fun to listen to it once in a while."

Then Kenneth didn't say anything else and continued talking to his partner.

Not long after that, Flora and Debra came downstairs.

Debra's eyes filled with hate when she saw Angela standing in the crowd, and she thought, 'Angela caused me to lose my role and get jailed for days, and now I have to apologize in public!'

Debra was resentful at the thought.

She thought, 'I'm just not as lucky as Angela to have Kenneth as a backer. So I'm just going to let Angela humiliate me like this?'

Flora pulled Debra's hand and whispered, "Debra, just bear with it. We can take our time with that bitch later when Kenneth doesn't like her anymore!"

Debra lowered her head to hide the hatred in her eyes.

"Mom, don't worry. I know what to do."

Seeing the two come downstairs, Zenas walked onto the stage, picked up a microphone, and began to speak.

"Thank you all very much for coming to this banquet today. I'm sure you all know about the online fiasco Debra had earlier. This incident had a very bad effect on Ms. Lewis and hurt Ms. Lewis. I'm very sorry. I invite you all to this banquet today to let Debra and Flora apologize to Ms. Lewis and return justice to Ms. Lewis!"

As Zenas finished, Debra and Flora walked onto the stage.

Debra said how she had actively messed with Angela and rumored about her online.

"Ms. Lewis, I was wrong and I hope you can forgive me!"

Taking the microphone, Flora looked in Angela's direction and said, "Ms. Lewis, I was anxious when I saw Debra being taken to the police station and found someone to throw paint at you. I still feel guilty when I think about it now.

"In order to express my apology, I purposely had someone buy a bucket of paint. If my apology doesn't relieve you of your anger, you can throw it on me. I definitely won't have the slightest complaint!"

Their words caused the people present to start whispering, their expressions filled with mockery and contempt.

They weren't despising what Debra and Flora had done. After all, this kind of thing happened in every family. They just didn't think Debra and Flora would be so stupid as to get caught and now apologize in public so disgracefully.

The stares cast by the crowd made Debra feel as if she was being stripped naked, and every second was torture for her.

Angela looked at them indifferently and thought, 'What they're suffering now is no more than a tenth of what I experienced online.'
