Chapter 30
Angela was momentarily stunned with her lips p
pressed tightly together, but she didn’t bring up divorce.
What just happened spoiled their appetite, so they went straight back to the villa
Upon entering the living room, Angela turned to Kenneth and said, “Would you like some spaghetti?“
Let me help you.”
“No need. It will be ready in a minute,”
The fridge was regularly stocked with fresh ingredients by the maid. Angela took some onions, broccoli, chicken breasts, and spaghetti and headed to the kitchen
She first processed the chicken, cooked the sauce, and placed it on a plate. Then, she boiled water for the spaghetti
While the spaghetti was cooking, she also boiled some broccoli. When everything was nearly done, the spaghetti was almost ready as wel
She efficiently drained the spaghetti, then topped it with the suice, grated cheese, and broccoli. Two plates of spagheni were ready.
She brought the dishes out of the kitchen but didn’t see Kenneth.
She headed towards the study and heard Kenneth’s cold voice at the door. “Keep this matter under wraps for now. Don’t let anyone know”
After hanging up the phone, Kenneth turned around and saw Angela standing at the doorway.
Angela said. The spaghetti is ready. Come have some
Kenneth put away his phone and followed Angela into the dining room.
They sat facing each other. Angela looked down and silently started eating her spaghetti
Kenneth asked, “Don’t you have anything you want to ask me!”
Angela paused and said to Kenneth, “If you want to tell me, you’ll do so, even if I don’t ask. And if you don’t, my asking won’t make a difference.”
“You can ask me. I’ll tell you everything I can.
Looking into Kenneth’s serious eyes, Angela was silent for a few seconds, then spoke calmly. “Let’s eat first. The spaghetti won’t taste good once it gels cold.
After finishing it, Angela stood up, and Kenneth immediately took the plates from her hands. Tl wash these,”
Angela didn’t refuse, she handed over the plates and went upstairs to her bedroom
The next morning, Angela went to the office carly. By the time Brenda came to see her, Angela had already finished reading the backlog documents.
Brenda said, “Ms. Lewis, we have an appointment with the Sinclair Group at ten o’clock this morning
Angela pressed her lips together, and said to Brenda, Til leave this to you. No matter what offer the Sinclair Group proposes, just refuse.” Brenda looked sårprised, thinking that Angela had planned to meet with Kenneth. Why the sudden change of mind:
However, Brenda didn’t ask further and nodded. “Alright, I got it
“Okay, these documents are all signed. Take them with you.”
After Brenda left, Angela continued working until noon.

Just as she was about to go for lunch. Brenda returned. “Ms. Lewis, you won’t believe what the Sinclair Group offered to buy Empyria Group. If I wasn’t so deeply committed to Empyria Group. I might have been tempted to sell”
Angela raised an eyebrow, thinking that if Brenda felt tempted, the Sinclair Group must have made a serious offer.
She asked, “How mith‘
we landen dl million dollars, can you believe it?”
She asked. “Did you ask Kenneth?”
Brenda nodded. “Yes, but he didn’t say anything”
“I see. If anyone from the Sinclair Group comes again to discuss the acquisition, just refuse.”
“okay”
On the way back to the Sinclair Group, Kevin couldn’t help saying, “Mr. Sinclair, our offer is already way beyond the market value of Empyris Group. I think acquiring it might be impossible.”
Kenneth’s eyes were cold. After pondering, he spoke. “Prepare a file for me detailing the fashion companies under the Sinclair Group
He had planned to acquire the Empyria Group for Jennifer to practice her business skills. However, the people at Empyria were unwilling to budge, forcing him to look for other options.
“Of course, Mr. Sinclair.”
Time flew, and it was Saturday- the day Angela was supposed to retum to Lewis Manor for dinner.
She walked down the stairs after getting changed, and saw Kenneth on the sofa who was reading documents.
Hearing footsteps, he put away the documents and looked up at Angela,
She wore a fitted long dress, her delicate face untouched by makeup. Her long hair was tied up in a bun, making her look like a youthful college student, a stark contrast to the formally dressed Kenneth, appearing almost a decade younger.
Kenneth frowned slightly and removed the hair tie from her bun, letting her long hair fall over her shoulders.
Angela locked at him discontentedly. “What are you doing! Give me back my hair tier
Kenneth tossed the hair tie into the trash can, speaking with an indifferent tone. The bun doesn’t suit you; you look better wearing your hair long”
Angela felt speechless.
She thought. “Why does he care about my look!
He said, “Let’s go, or we’ll be late.”
Kenneth walked ahead Noticing Angela wasn’t following he turned back and frowned, “Why are you still standing there? All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Did my dad also tell you to come to Lewis Manor for dinner?
“Yes, is there a problem?”
Angela was silent for a few seconds, then calmly said, “Nothing, let’s gu”
Angela realized Paul had invited Kenneth behind her back, probably because he knew she wouldn’t say no. But he did it anyway. It was clear that he didn’t care about her opinion
An hour later, Kenneth’s car stopped at the entrance of Lewis Manor.
Jennifer had been waiting at the door for Kenneth. When she saw Angela, she was still expressionless, completely ignoring her.
Jennifer said, “Kenneth, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Let me take you inside.”
Kenneth looked indifferent and said to Angela, “Let’s go.
Angela found Kenneth’s behavior strange. She thought he clearly liked Jennifer, so why was he now acting as if he had no feelings for her?
But soon, Angela remembered the photos of Kenneth and Jennifer, and her expression turned gloomy,
They walked into Lewis Manor. As they entered the living room, Robert greeted them warmly. “Mr. Sinclair, Angela, welcome, please have a seat?”
Seeing Robert’s cheerful smile, Angela looked away indifferently. She knew their invitation for dinner was just a pretext. Their real purpose was to meel with Kenneth
Angela didn’t want to spend another minute with them, so she said to Kenneth, I’m going to take a walk in the garden.”
Just as Angela sat down in the pavilion, Jennifer approached her
Jennifer said. “Angela, don’t flatter yourself, You’re just Kenneth’s wife in name. He still loves me
12:22 PM
“Is that so!” Angela raised an eyebrow with a hint of mockery. “But just now, it seemed like he didn’t even glance at you.”
Jennifer became angry, and then she said through gritted teeth. That’s because we’ve been arguing recently, but we’ll make up soon! By the way, do you still remember when the scandal about you hiring a gigolo got exposed on Grandpa’s birthday? Kenneth found out I was behind the thing but he didn’t blame me and even helped me cover it up! So, even if you’re his wife, he’ll always stand by my side!”
