Chapter 7


    Keh felt a flicker of anticipation as he nced at his phone, but it quickly turned to


    disappointment when he saw the caller ID.


    It was Jennifer calling. Her cheerful voice came through as soon as he answered. “Keh, my


    grandfather’s birthday ising up. My parents have tasked me with delivering the invitations. Are


    you freeter? I happened to be passing by the Sinir Group: I can drop off your invitation and


    have lunch together.”


    Keh responded indifferently, “Okay.”


    “Great, see you then.”


    After he hung up, Keh’s irritation didn’t subside; instead, it grew. He couldn’t focus on reading


    the documents in front of him.


    He hadn’t expected Ang to be so resolute this time, to the point of cutting off contact with him.


    There was a knock on the office door. Kevin entered, holding a document, and said gravely, “Mr.


    Sinir, I’ve just heard that the auction for thend in the east of the city might start earlier than


    expected.”


    Keh was stunned and said with a solemn look, “Notify the project manager and shareholders


    immediately. We’ll have a meeting in five


    minutes.”


    th was still in the meeting when Jennifer arrived, so Kevin greeted her. “Ms. Lewis, Mr. Sinir just


    started a meeting. He asked me to take you to his office to wait for him.”


    Jennifer smiled gently, “Thank you.”


    Kevin left after taking Jennifer into Keh’s office, telling her to call if she needed anything.


    Once the door closed, Jennifer walked over to Keh’s desk. She was about to ce the


    invitation. But sh red box on the desk.


    d when she noticed a


    Obviously, the box was for jewelry. Jennie, realizing her own birthday was also approaching,


    wondered if it was a birthday gift from Keh


    After hesitating, she picked up the box.


    She reasoned that since it was something Keh bought for her, it wouldn’t hurt to take a sneak


    peek.

    Curiosity won over, and Jennie opened the box to find the ne Keh had bought at the


    Nebulora auction.


    She had asked him who it was for, but he hadn’t answered. Now, she realized it was meant to


    be a surprise for her.


    Her mood lifted, and she smiled, cing the box back where she found it.


    Keh returned from his meeting an hourter.


    Seeing Jennifer, he apologized, “Sorry, I had to attend that meeting.”


    Jennifer stood up with a smile and said with a gentle expression, “It’s okay. I’ve already ordered our


    lunch; it should be here soon.”


    “Good.”

    “Oh, and I left the invitation on your desk. My grandfather’s birthday is next Saturday. Are you free


    to join us then?”


    Keh frowned slightly, “I have a business trip in a couple of days and might not be back by


    Saturday, but I’ll try.”

    “Okay. By the way, have you heard from Ang recently? I’ve been trying to call her, but it always


    says she’s on another call. Do you know where she is?”


    Keh’s brow furrowed at the mention of Ang, his voice turning cold. “Why are you looking for


    her?”


    Jennifer pressed her lips, worry evident on her face. “You know how strained her rtionship with


    our family is. She was recognized by the family until she was sixteen and always felt our parents


    favored me. Recently, her rtionship with us has been getting worse. With my grandfather’s


    birthday next Saturday, I thought it might be a good chance for her toe home to mend things


    with the family.”


    After a


    brief silence, Keh replied coldly, “I’ll talk to her about it.”


    Seeing Keh reluctant to discuss further, Jennifer didn’t press and changed the subject.


    Ang had just finished her proposal when she received a call from Paul Lewis, her father. “Next


    Saturday is your grandfather’s birthday. You shoulde home.”


    Just as she finished speaking, Paul’s angry voice came through. “What could be more important


    than your grandfather’s birthday? No matter what, you muste next Saturday, and it’s best if you


    bring Keh along”


    The Lewis family was not what it once was. A month ago, Robert Lewis, Ang’s grandfather, had


    told Paul to ensure Keh attended the birthday party. It was a move to warn others not to mess


    with the Lewis family.


    After a moment’s thought, Ang realized she needed to tell them face–to–face about her


    impending divorce from Keh to avoid troubles in the future. “Alright, I got it. I’ll try to make time


    for it.”


    Paul s


    I said nothing more and hung up the phone directly.


    Karen Lewis, disapproving, frowned and said, “You’ve already sent Jennie to deliver the invitation to


    Keh. Why did you ask her to mention it to him?”


    Karen never really warmed up to Ang, her daughter who didn’t grow up by her side. Even though


    Ang resembled Jennifer, her other daughter, Karen couldn’t bring herself to like her.


    Initially, when Jennifer and Ang were born, a trusted psychic suddenly visited the Lewis family,


    warning that if Ang stayed in their family, she would bring disaster to the family.


    After much deliberation, they decided to leave Ang at an orphanage.


    Unexpectedly, at sixteen, Jennifer fell ill, and none of the Lewis family members was a match for a


    transnt. They had no choice but to bring Ang back.


    Being twins, Ang and Jennifer had a high gic simrity. Ang’s bone marrow transnt to


    Jennifer seeded, so Ang stayed with the Lewis family.

    However, every time they saw Ang, the psychic’s words urred to the family, and their attitude


    toward Ang remained cold.


    Karen, in particr, disliked Ang. After knowing Ang was raised by a rural family, she thought


    Ang was just a bumpkin. Karen, who had cherished Jennifer for years, felt annoyed seeing


    Ang beside Jennifer.


    Their rtionship worsened as Ang often refused to listen to Karen. Any conversation between


    them would quickly turn into an argument.


    Therefore, now, just mentioning Ang stirred up Karen’s disgust.


    Paul nced at her and said coldly, “Don’t forget, Ang is currently Keh’s wife.”


    Karen scoffed, “If Jennie hadn’t gone abroad, would Ang have had the chance to marry


    Keh? Now that Jennie is back and Keh doesn’t like Ang, it’s better for everyone


    if they divorce quickly and Keh marries Jennie.”


    Hearing this, Paul frowned, pondering this.


    Ang had always refused his suggestions to persuade Keh to help the Lewis family, which


    irked him.


    Ang and Keh had been married for three years without children. So Paul thought if Keh


    divorced and married Jennifer, it would


    benefit the Lewis family.


    However, Paul was cautious, not wanting to act without understanding Keh’s thoughts.


    “We’ll talk a


    about thister. Don’t mention anything about it to Ang before my agreement. If you cause a stir,


    I won’t let you off easily.” Karen’s expression changed, and she replied resentfully, “Got it, they’re


    bound to divorce sooner orter. I don’t want to be the bad guy.”


    After a while, Paul said in a low voice, “Be nicer to Ang. After all, we owe her.”


    Karen’s disdain was evident. She retorted coldly, “If you want to be nice to her, do it yourself. Don’t


    ask me to do that. I only acknowledge Jennie as my daughter. And don’t forget what that psychic


    said..


    “Karen,” Paul interrupted sharply, his eyes filled with rage, “if I hear you mention this again, don’t


    me me for being ruthle


    Karen’s face paled at Paul’s outburst, and it wasn’t until he stormed off that she regained her


    composure.


    She felt a mix of fear and increased loathing towards Ang, ming her for the family’s troubles


    As Ang was about to leave work that evening, Brenda hurried into her office.


    She asked, “Ang, do you have ns tonight?”
