Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela)

Chapter 42

"Ahl" Debra screamed in agony,

ny, her face contorted with pain. "Jennie, please help me. My back hurts so much!"

Every movement she made sent sharp pains shooting through her back, making it unbearable for her.

Debra thought angrily, 'Angela, you bitch! How dare you make me suffer like this?! 1 will not let you get away with this!'

Jennifer's expression shifted slightly as she looked at Angela. "Angela, Debra was just trying to vent her frustrations. How could you be so cruel to her?"

Angela raised an eyebrow and sneered, looking indifferently at Jennifer while rhythmically tapping the whip against the palm of her other hand. "I'm also feeling quite frustrated right now. How about letting me vent on you?"

Jennifer gritted her teeth. "I haven't wronged you. Why should I let you vent on me! Besides, even if Debra made a mistake, she's Henry's girlfriend. Aren't you afraid of making things difficult with Kenneth?" Angela's eyes were devoid of any warmth as she replied slowly. "What do I care if it makes things difficult for him?"

"You!" exclaimed Jennifer.

"Debra seems to be in a lot of pain. As her close friend, shouldn't you be calling someone to check on her instead of wasting time arguing with me? Are you trying to delay her treatment and risk her becoming paralyzed?" Angela countered.

Jennifer was taken aback as she hadn't expected Angela to be so sharp-tongued. Sensing Debra's growing dissatisfaction, Jennifer clenched her teeth and said, "Angela, we won't let this slide so easily!" Tired of dealing with Jennifer, Angela shifted her saddle and prepared to ride away.

Just as Angela spurred her horse, a flash of silver gleamed in Jennifer's hand, and with a thrust, she stabbed into the horse's behind.

The horse then let out a sharp, piercing neigh and bolted forward, charging wildly and nearly throwing Angela off.

She gripped the reins tighty to avoid falling off, her palms reddened by the friction.

After finally steadying herself, Angela found the horse still agitated, relentlessly running forward and crashing into the barrier. It bucked wildly, trying to throw Angela off. Angela struggled to stabilize herself to prevent being thrown off while trying to calm the horse, but no matter what she did, she couldn't soothe the horse's agitated state. Meanwhile, Henry, who was at the side of the field, got a call and found out about Angela knocking Debra off her horse, which made his face turn unsightly grim. They quickly got onto their horses and rode into the field along with the staff. As they rode, they encountered Angela midway.

Seeing Angela struggling with her frenzied hone, Henry's eyes narrowed mowy. He was about to say something but held back after seeing

Kenneth's indifferent expression.

Henry pondered, 'I have to go save Debra first. Then, once I know the extent of her injuries, I can settle the score with Angela. I won't let this go so easily!' Angela also spotted them and directed the horse toward the stables while trying to soothe it

Kenneth watched with cold indifference, showing no intention to help.

Angela didn't plan on seeking his assistance either. After a while, when she finally managed to calm the horse down, she slowly rode it back to the

stables

As soon as she dismounted, Kenneth's icy voice sounded behind her. "I heard you intentionally flipped Debra off her horse!!!

Angela was inspecting the horse's body. When she was about to ride away earlier, she had caught a glimpse of Jennifer doing something to her horse. Angela felt there was something fishy about this whole incident.

Upon hearing Kenneth's accusatory tone, Angela replied irritably, "What's it to you?"

Kenneth grabbed her hand forcefully and asked. "Angela, do you realize Debra could have been trampled to death after falling? Even if you dislike her, you shouldn't be so cruel!"

Angela shook off his hand and looked at him indifferently. "I've always been this cruel. Are you just realizing this now? If you have nothing else to

say.

stay out of my way.

You're annoying!"

Kenneth's eyes blazed with anger. "Apologize to her!"

"You can go apologize to her yourself if you want to that badly," she retorted.

Angela then suddenly spotted a particular spot on the horse's behind. Her expression instantly turned cold as she stared at that spot.

Kenneth forcefully took her hand and dragged her out of the stable,

Angela tried to shake off his grip but couldn't manage it, so she reluctantly let him lead her to the rest area.

The rest area had rooms for guests to take a short break if they got tired from horse riding. After Henry brought Debra back, he immediately had a

doctor examine her.

When Kenneth dragged Angela in, the doctor was speaking with a grave expression. "Mr. Hastings, Ms. Jenkins has a fracture. We need further examinations to determine the severity."

As Debra nestled in Henry's arms, she cried pitifully. "Hen, what if I can never stand up again?"

Henry's expression turned extremely grave when he heard what she said. He then lowered his head and tried to keep his voice gentle as he comforted her. "Debra, don't worry. I'll get the best doctor for you. You'll recover, I promise."

Seeing Angela completely unharmed, without a trace of falling or injury on her body, Jennifer's eyes flickered with resentment

Jennifer thought bitterly, "How can this wretched woman be this lucky? Kenneth must have helped her!!

She glanced at Debra, who was still upset, and said with a guilty expression, "Henry, I'm also to blame for this. This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't asked Debra to accompany me for horse riding." Henry looked up at Angela with an icy expression and said coldly, "This has nothing to do with you. The real culprit is Angela!"

to protect

He thought angrily, I can't believe Angela is still so malicious, even when Debra and I are showing such humility. Even if Kenneth wants to Angela, I won't let this go!"

Upon seeing Angela, Debra's hatred for her intensified dramatically, and she wished she could confront Angela right then and there.

"Hen, I don't want to see her. Get her out of here!" demanded Debra.

Jennifer quickly interjected, "Debra, please calm down. I'm sure Angela is feeling guilty and must have come here to apologize."

Debra's eyes were filled with anger. "I don't want her apology. I won't let her off easily!"

Jennifer was secretly thrilled at this while appearing genuinely upset on the surface. "Debra, please, do it for me. Please give Angela an opportunity to apologize. I'm sure she's already regretting her rash behavior right now

Kenneth then pulled Angela forward and looked at Henry indifferently. "This incident is indeed Angela's fault. I'll take full responsibility for Debra's medical expenses. If there are any further issues, I'll handle them too."

After saying that, Kenneth turned to Angela and demanded, "Apologize now, Angela!"

Angela smiled faintly, but her eyes remained cold, "Kenneth, 1 don't recall agreeing to apologize. It seems you're the one insistent on dragging me

here"

As soon as she finished, Henry sneered, "Very well! Kenneth, I was going to let it go for your sake if Angela apologized. But since she refuses, don't blame me for being heartless for whatever happens next!" Angela raised an eyebrow at Henry. "And what is it that you plan to do?"

He retorted, "I'll make sure you suffer what Debra had gone through. An eye for an eye!" Angela chuckled and calmly replied, "I doubt you have the capability to do that."

"Angela!" Kenneth looked at her furiously, and his eyes filled with disaj

disappointment. "Apologize! Otherwise, it won't just be Henry. I won't let you
