Chapter 31
Jennifer hoped to see expressions of anger and jealousy on Angela’s face, but to her disappointment, Angela remained calm and composed throughout, her expression unchanging.
She scoffed disdainfully at Angela, “Do you really think acting magnanimous will make Kenneth fall in love with you! Dream on!”
Angela, unruffled, replied slowly, “Jennifer, you’re pathetic.”
“What did you say?” Jennifer’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
She was astonished that Angela dared to say that she was pathetic!
Angela said, “Isn’t it? All you
ever talk about is Kenneth, as if your life has no meaning without him.”
Seeing Jennifer now,
ow, Angela wondered if that was how others had seen her during the past three years.
Jennifer retoried, “Angela, you’re the one who is pathetic. Even though your parents brought you back to the Lewis family, not a single person there cares about you, not even your husband. You poor thing!”
Angela smiled. Once, she might have longed for a bit of love from the Lewis family and Kenneth, but now she no longer
cred
She believed that loving herself was most important. Longing for others‘ care only led to humiliation.
“You can say what you like, but if you can convince Kenneth to divorce me, I might even thank you!” After saying that, Angela turned and walked away, but she stopped abruptly at the corner.
Tall and imposing, Kenneth looked down at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Angela’s heart skipped a beat. Kenneth always disliked her mentioning divorce.
Just when she thought Kenneth was about to get angry, he suddenly turned and walked away
Sensing his anger, Angela frowned but didn’t follow him.
When Angela returned to the living room, Paul approached her and whispered, “Your grandmother is in the side room. She wants to speak with you.
You should go see her.”
Angela nodded and headed towards the side room.
Irene’s attitude towards her had changed dramatically; now, she was smiling kindly.
“Angela, come sit by me!” Irene beckoned warmly.
Angela sat down one seat away from Irene and asked indifferently, “Grandma, what did you want to say?”
After some small talk, Irene got to the point. “You’ve been married to Kenneth for three years. Since he’s treating you nicely, you should seize the opportunity and have a child with him. That will secure your position in the funily”
Angela was surprised. Previously, the Lewis family had wanted her to divorce Kenneth quickly so he could marry Jennifer.
She couldn’t help but be impressed by their quick change of stance..
She said, “Grandma, I also have something to discuss with you.”
“What is it?”
“I’m planning to divorce Kenneth.”
Irene’s smile froze when she heard this, and gave her a cold stare.
Irene said. “Angela. I always thought you were a smart girl. Why would you have such a foolish idea”
Angela looked at her calmly and replied slowly, “Divorcing Kenneth is beneficial for the Lewis family. Compared to me, who returned to the Lewis family at sixteen, Jennifer would surely be more dedicated in helping the family if she marries Kenneth.”
Irene, taken aback by Angela’s straightforwardness, fell silent for a while before asking, “Are you serious about this?”
Angela smiled. “Of course, he’s been loving Jennifer for peruade him, 171
or the past three years, and I’ve figured it out now. As long as the Lewis family is willing to
to divorce Kenneth.”

Irene was still somewhat skeptical. She couldn’t believe Angela would give up on Kenneth and the wealth of the Sinclair family.
Irene will.
Letine
think about this After all, Kenneth’s opinion is what matters most!”
Hearing this. Angela realized that Irene was trying to play mind games with her. She was torn between her desire to have Jennifer marry Kenneth and her fear of offending Kenneth.
Angela said, “Grandma, take your time to consider.”
Angela wasn’t in a rush at all.
Sise returned to the living room and saw that Kenneth was the only one there, staring at her on the sofa with a cold expression.
Angela couldn’t help but frown, thinking. Paul would do anything to please Kenneth. Where did he go?”
“Where did you just gol Kenneth asked, and the atmosphere in the living room became oppressive.
Kenneth had bouled up his anger since hearing Angela’s words in the garden. He had planned to wait for Angela to apologize.
But she had gone somewhere else, and Kenneth’s anger grew strongert
Angela, with a calm demeanor, sat opposite him. “I went to talk with my grandma, Where are they!”
“I don’t know. But don’t you think you owe me an explanation for what you said in the garden just now?
ly still upset.
Angela looked up, meeting Kenneth’s angry gaze. He was clearly
She said. “I thought what I said was quite clear. What do I need to explain further!”
“Angela!”
Seeing Kenneth genuinely angry, Angela pressed her lips together, saying, “I came back to have dinner today, I don’t want to argue with you.”
Kenneth scoffed, Then don’t say that again!”
“Fine”
She decided to avoid him when she said such things in the future.
Silence fell between them, neither speaking again.
Soon, Paul walked into the living room with an expensive battle of red wine, offering it to Kenneth with a hint of ingratiating manner. Mr. Sinclair, it is my treasured Lafite. How about having a drink with us tonight?*
As Angela’s father, Paul should ideally be the one flattered by Kenneth. Yet, Kenneth didn’t care much for his wife, and the Lewis family relied on the Sinclair Group, which led to this awkward situation.
Angela didn’t care about Paul at all. She just watched emotionlessly.
Kenneth said, “Mr. Lewis, I’m afraid that I can’t. I drove here today”
Paul quickly replied, “It’s okay. I can have my driver take you home, or you could stay overnight here.”
Kenneth pondered for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. “Alright.”
Dinner was soon ready, and the servants invited everyone to the dining room.
Angela wasn’t sure if Paul was intentional, but Paul arranged for Jennifer to sit on the left of Kenneth and Angela on the right of him
Jennifer kept pouring drinks for Kenneth during dinner and offering him his favorite dishes.
Jennifer said, “Kenneth, this is your favorite grilled ribs.”
Jennifer continued, “Kenneth try the fried fish made by our chef. It’s delicious.”
Kenneth kept talking.
Jennifer, seemingly tireless, continued conversing with Kenneth.
Angela watched them with a look of amusement. Jennifer’s gaze at Kenneth was so intense. Angela wondered if Jennifer would throw herself at Kenneth if they were altor.

As Angela pictured this in her mind, Kenneth suddenly offered her a piece of grilled pork rib.
Kenneth said, “Eat more. You need to stay healthy
All the people at the table immediately turned to her, especially Jennifer, whose cold and murderous stare fixed on Angela.
