Kenneth frowned, "Grandma, what do you mean by that?"

Beatrice looked at him angrily and said indifferently, "What do I meant I know all about how you sided with outsiders to bully Angie. What's the use of a husband who only helps others?"

Kenneth's eyes turned colder as he looked at Angela. "Did you tell Grandma about that?"

Beatrice stood protectively in front of Angela and glared at Kenneth. "You hurt Angie, and you still think you're right? I warn you, stay away from Angie! After we get back tomorrow, you will proceed with the divorce. I'll have someone send the divorce agreement to your company!

"Grandmal" he exclaimed.

Kenneth was genuinely angry now. He had never even considered divorcing Angela.

"Don't call me Grandma! I don't have a grandson like your Beatrice yelled before pulling Angela out of the room.

After taking Angela to a new hotel room, Beatrice looked at her with pity, saying, "Angle, don't worry. I won't let Kenneth bully you. After learning about today's events. I've started to think maybe you're really not suitable for each other. He doesn't deserve your

Angela hadn't expected Beatrice's support and was moved to tears "Grandma, thank you!"

"What are you thanking me for? I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, Kenneth would never have been able to stand up again. But that ungrateful boy is blind to your goodness. It's his loss, Beatrice huffed.

Angela shook her head, replying, "Grandma, there's no need to thank me. I did what I did willingly, and I'm truly grateful for your support!" Though she had a strained relationship with Kenneth, Beatrice had indeed treated her well. Angela felt that it was unnecessary to let that affect her bond with Beatrice.

Beatrice chuckled, "Didn't you just say not to thank you, and now you're saying thanks again? Alright, you must be tired today. Get some rest. I'll be going now!

"Okay" Angela nodded with a smile

After leaving Angela's room, Beatrice's expression turned grim.

Beatrice thought that if it weren't for her whim to check the surveillance to see what Angela and Kenneth were up to, she wouldn't have seen the scene where Jennifer and Debra tried to harm Angela, and Kenneth helped them pressure Angela to apologize.

Just as Beatrice reached her own room, she saw Kenneth standing outside her door indifferently, clearly waiting for her.

Beatrice walked up to Kenneth and looked at him coldly. "Do you realize what you've done wrong?"

Kenneth pressed his lips together and replied while looking at Beatrice, 'Grandma, you shouldn't have agreed to help Angela with the di...

Before he could finish the word "divorce," Beatrice slapped him across his face.

"Kenneth, what did I tell you before?! I told you to treat Angie well, and this is how you do it!" she exclaimed.

Beatrice's slap was so forceful that a handprint immediately appeared on Kenneth's cheek,

His hands by his sides instinctively clenched into fists, and his entire demeanor exuded a chilling presence.

Beatrice's eyes were filled with anger and disappointment as she looked at him, asking "Who took care of you day and night for those two years when you were half-paralyzed? Who helped you seek doctors to treat your legs! Do you really think Jennifer likes you? If she truly did, why wasn't she by your side during your hardest years?"

Kenneth remained silent for a few seconds before murmuring "Grandma, Jennie was abroad at the time, and she heard about: Angela, which is why Jennie refused to come back."

"Oh, so

so you

u know

my marriage to

you are married? Then, why did you get entangled with Jennifer after she returned to the country? Beatrice challenged.

la who misunderstood."

Faced with Beatrice's o

questioning look, Kenneth frowned, "I wasn't entangled with Jennie. It's. Angela

Fuming with rage, Beatrice laughed mockingly and pointed at Kenneth, shouting. So, you've learned to spin tales now, why you let Jennifer stay in your new home that was supposed to be for you and Angela after you both got married if you weren't involved with have you Then, explam Jennifer! And why dal you take Jennifer to various events as a plus one?!" Chapter 44

As soon as she finished speaking, a muffled thud suddenly came from behind them

Boch Beatrice and Kenneth then simultaneously turned around and saw Angela standing nearby, indifferently looking back at them. Beatrice felt a twinge of concern.

She didn't know how much of what she had just said Angela had heard. Beatrice knew that if Angela had heard Kenneth defending Jennifer, it would surely have upset her. "Angie, why are you here?" Beatrice asked.

Snapping back to reality, Angela forced a smile and bent down to pick up a phone from the ground, handing it to Beatrice. 'Grandma, you left your phone in my room, so I came to return it Beatrice took the phone and cautiously asked, "How long have you been here?"

"I just arrived. Now that I've delivered the phone, I'll head back" Angela replied and immediately walked away without giving Beatrice a chance to Jay more.

Watching Angela's somewhat desolate retreating figure, Beatrice shot Kenneth a cold glance. That's enough. I have nothing more to say to you. You and Jennifer can do whatever you both want Once Beatrice returned to her hotel room, Kenneth almost immediately followed Angela.

He cornered Angela by the elevator doors, lowering his head to look at her, hoping to detect even the slightest hint of anger on her face.

However, Kenneth was left disappointed. Angela was just looking at him indifferently, emotionless

"Angela, don't you have anything to ask about what Grandma just said?" he asked.

Angela stared ahead with a blank expression and replied calmly. "That's your own business. It has nothing to do with me. You don't need to explain

to me

As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator doors opened.

Angela stepped inside and pressed the close button. Just as the doors were about to close, Kenneth suddenly stepped into the elevator.

"You might not want to hear it, but I want to explain," he said.

Feeling somewhat frustrated, Angela looked up at Kenneth, replying, "When I wanted an explanation, you weren't willing to give one. Now that I no longer want to hear it, your explanations are pointless, aren't they?"

Kenneth's eyes grew colder as he stared into Angela's. "Do you really not care about me anymore?"

After a few seconds of silence, Angela spoke slowly. "The day after I first asked for a divorce, I went traveling alone. I fell into a lake in the northern part of Frostholm. It was so cold I almost froze to death there. If it weren't for a herdsman passing by. I might have died in Frostholm"

Upon hearing that, Kenneth's eyes widened in surprise, and his hand tightened into fists involuntarily, "I didn't know about that..."

Angela looked at him calmly and continued. "I'm not telling you this to make you feel guilty or anything. I just want to say that when I almost died in that lake, I realized that chasing after something that isn't meant for me only exhausts me. So now, I truly don't love you anymore. Whether you're involved with Jennifer or not, whether you end up together, it means nothing to me. Do you understand?"

Kenneth took a deep breath and slowly said. "Even so, I won't divorce you. I promised to take care of you for life, and I won't go back on my word."

"There's no need. I'll be better off without you.

Angela's words caused a sudden pang in Kenneth's heart, and he felt as if something was slipping away from him.

He looked at Angela with stubborn determination and declared, "No matter what you say, I will never agree to a divorce?

Even if he knew it would make both of them suffer, he was still unwilling to divorce.

Kenneth didn't know why he was so insistent, even questioning himself if it was really because of his promise to Angela.

He didn't know why and also didn't want to think too deeply about it at the moment. Therefore, as soon as the elevator doors opened. Kenneth quickly leh Watching hun leave, Angela couldn't help but sigh.

Once Angela got back into her hotel room, she had lunch and then took a tajk
