The Jenkins family was cunning and ruthless in their business dealings. Even though their power in Lithoria was only average, no one dared to offend them.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Just think about who Angela married? It's Keh. With his power, Angela can act recklessly in Lithoria. Let's be more cautious when speaking in the future, so as not to bring trouble upon ourselves."

"Mrs. Lewis, it seems like you don't know that Mrs. Jenkins was taken away by the police. This happened just over half an hour ago. When the police arrived, we were still playing poker with her!"

Karen found it hard to believe, and it took a while before she reached for her phone to call Paul.

"Paul, Angela..."

Before she could finish speaking, Paul coldly interrupted her, "Shut up! I'm busy right now. Tell Angela to come home immediately!"

As Karen listened to the call being hung up on, her anger surged once again.

Angela refused to apologize in the morning and wanted to sever ties with her. She then reported Debra's mother to the police. Angela was truly acting recklessly.

Back at the villa, Angela had dinner with Keh. Joseph came to treat Keh.

After the treatment, Angela saw Joseph off at the villa's entrance.

Joseph dropped his serious face in front of Keh and smirked at Angela. "Angela, how was my acting?"

He was referring to pretending not to be familiar with Angela in front of Keh.

Angela nodded earnestly and said, "Joseph, if your medical skills are as good as your acting, then you would be the best."

Joseph pretended to be angry, glaring at Angela and threatening, "Don't forget, you still need my help. If you make me angry, I..."

Before he could finish saying, "I won't help you," Angela took something out. Joseph stared at her in shock.

"A Panacea Pill! How did you get that?!"

Angela raised an eyebrow. "Leif gave it to me before I left."

Joseph felt it was unfair. "Leif is favoring you too much!"

Angela looked at him angrily and stated, "Don't think I don't know? Leif gave you plenty of medical books." Joseph's expression froze, and he said helplessly, "Fine. But what do you want me to do with this Panacea Pill?"

"It's your reward for helping treat Keh's leg."

Joseph couldn't believe it. "Really?!"

"If you don't want it, then forget it."

Joseph quickly snatched the Panacea Pill from her hands, grinning at her. "I want it. I need this! I'll take it!"

"Will you still help me then?"

Joseph nodded seriously. "Of course, I'll continue to help you. A doctor is compassionate. How could I abandon a patient? As long as Mr. Sinclair needs me, I will come for acupuncture!"

Seeing his solemn attitude, Angela couldn't help but smile, "Alright. It's getting late now, so you should go back."

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

Angela returned to the bedroom and saw Keh struggling to walk with a crutch. When he took a step, sweat covered his face, and his face turned red.

She quickly went up to support him and scolded, "Didn't the doctor tell you to wait for more treatments before starting rehabilitation? It would reduce a lot of pain!"

Keh allowed her to help him onto the bed and whispered, "I thought you would want me to recover quickly so that you could divorce me." Angela paused for a moment while covering him with a blanket. "I do want you to recover sooner, but there's no need to rush. Your leg condition is worse than three years ago, so it will take more time to heal."

Without waiting for Keh's reaction, she went to the bathroom to fetch water for him to clean his body.

After finishing everything, Angela was about to go back to the living room to take a break when the doorbell rang.

She walked to the door and saw Doris, feeling somewhat surprised.

As soon as she opened the door, Doris hurriedly said, "Ms. Lewis, because you reported Mrs. Jenkins and Ms. Jenkins to the police, Mr Lewis is furious. If you don't go back, they might take coercive measures. Be careful during this time.

Angela was very grateful to Doris. Ever since she returned to the Lewis family, everyone disliked her. Doris was the only person who would talk to her and show concern.

"Doris, I understand. You should go back quickly."

After Doris left, Angela felt a vague sense of unease. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Early the next morning, Angela was awakened by a phone call.

"Angela, hurry up and check the news. Your mother is holding a press conference to sever ties with you!"

Rubbing her temples, Angela got up and turned on her computer.

She quickly found the live stream. Karen was sitting in front of a group of reporters. Her eyes were red, her face was haggard, and she portrayed an image of a worried mother to the extreme.

She played the recording from yesterday when she went to see Angela. Of course, she edited the conversation, leaving only the part where Angela wanted to sever ties with her.

After playing it, Karen covered her face and burst into tears. It took her a while to barely regain her composure.

"Although Angela was only brought back to our family when she was in her teens, I didn't expect her to deny me as her mother. I was heartbroken all night..."

She went on and on about her sadness and suffering before getting to the point.

"Firstly, I apologize for Angela's act of violence. I will do my best to compensate Ms. Jenkins, hoping she can forgive Angela's impulsive behavior.

"Secondly, I want to address the

want

matter of Angela being a third party. It is true that Mr. Sinclair was in a relationship with Jennie for a period of time But that was their business, and don't have much to say about it.

"Lastly, we will handle the incident of Angela reporting Ms. Jenkins and Mrs. Jenkins properly in the near future. Her father and I will personally apologize to them!"

Angela looked at Karen, who acted like a loving yet helpless mother in front of the press, with an icy expression. She remained emotionally unaffected.

While still on the phone, an angry voice came from Brenda. "Is your mother crazy? She's blaming you for all this. It infuriates me. If she wasn't your mother, I would go over and teach her a lesson right now!"

Angela remained silent for a few seconds before calmly speaking. "Don't worry about this matter. I'll handle it myself. I'll get ready for work."

"You still plan to go to work?! Before

you opened the live stream, she had

already said you worked at the Empyria Group. There are probably many journalists waiting for you downstairs at the company. It's better for you to stay at home for a few days!"

Angela bit her lip but didn't get angry.

She knew they didn't intend to leave her a way out!

"I understand, thank you."

After hanging up the call, Angela finished getting ready and left the bedroom. Keh frowned, sitting in the dining room with untouched breakfast in front of him.

Angela sat down beside him and picked up a glass of milk. She took a sip and looked at him. "If you don't like this, have the maid prepare another

meal for you."

Keh stared at her with cold eyes, furrowing his brows, and said, "Did you know that your mother held a press conference this morning?" Angela paused while grabbing a piece of bread, then nodded. "I know. What's the matter?"

"If necessary, I can handle this for you."

Seeing the anger in Keh's eyes, Angela raised an eyebrow and said, "No need, I can handle it myself."

Keh sounded even more unhappy. "Angela, we aren't divorced yet, and your affairs are my affairs!"
