Angela furrowed her brow and looked at Patrick, saying, "Patrick, thank you for helping me, but I really don't want you to get involved in this. It's my personal matter!"

Seeing the displeasure in Angela's eyes, Patrick felt as if his heart had been pricked with a needle, and his face turned a shade paler.

She didn't say anything more, turned around, and entered the elevator with Kenneth following her

Meanwhile, Patrick stood outside the elevator with his head hung low, unable to see his expression. However, he knew that his words had probably hurt Angela.

Angela's clear eyes reflected Kenneth's figure, but the affection that once filled them was gone, leaving only a dead calm..

"Lead our separate lives?" Kenneth uttered these words through gritted teeth, radiating a chilling presence as if he could freeze everything around him Angela nodded. "Yes, if you can accept that, then I won't mention divorce again"

turned grimmer as he stared at Angela and said indifferently, "Disgusted? Didn't you enjoy it last time at the hotel?" Angela sneered, "That was because I was drugged and out of my senses. It could have been any man, and I would have reacted the same way" "Say that again,
