Chapter 23
Ang pressed her lips. “Let’s talk about why did you reveal our secret marriage to everyone at
the party.
Thankfully, the guests were all acquaintances of the Lewis family. She could pull some strings, and
the fact that she and Keh had been secretly married for three years wouldn’t be widely
known.
Keh remained silent for a few seconds, anger brewing in his mind. “Ang, don’t forget, if I
hadn’t helped you, the whole thing could have been out of control”
Angughed briefly, her eyes devoid of emotion
didn’t ask for your help. You took it upon yourself, and your actions have only caused me trouble”
Keh’s face turned sullen, looking at Ang with a sense of irony.
“What trouble? Are you afraid you can’t find your next boyfriend after this?”
Ang furrowed her brows. “Do you always have to speak so harshly?”
“The truth is often unpleasant
“Keh, I don’t want to make things hard. What will it take for you to agree to a divorce?”
Keh suddenly stood up, looking down at Ang, emphasizing each word. “Tve said it before. I
won’t agree to a divorce. You should give up on that idear
Ang took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and tried to remain calm. “If you don’t want a
divorce, there must be a reason. My reason is that I don’t love you anymore, and I don’t want to
continue a marriage without love.
Somehow, the thought of not being a part of Ang’s future ns frustrated Keh much.
He looked at Ang coldly. “You chose this marriage, and now it’s not up to you to end it
Seeing Keh leaving, Ang clenched her teeth and said, “If you disagree. I’ll talk to your
grandmother about this myself?”
“You wouldn’t dare!!
Keh’s voice was full of anger, staring at Ang as if he could eat her alive.
“But Ang wasn’t intimidated by the threat in his eyes. She met his gaze fearlessly. “If you want to
keep this up, I’ll have no choice but to ask Beatrice to make you agree to the divorce!”
Keh stared at her fiercely and scoffed, “Then try it and see if I agree
After he left, Ang was seething with frustration. It was just a matter of signing a paper. She
couldn’t figure out why Keh just wouldn’t agree. Suddenly, her phone on the table rang.
Brenda’s voice came through as soon as the call was connected. “Angie, where did you go! I just
had a call with my mom, and you were gone when I came back. People are still whispering about
you and Keh being married. Did you guys go public?”
Ang’s grip on her phone tightened subconsciously, her fingers turning pale. It took her a while
before she hummed in response.

“What’s going on? Weren’t you guys getting a divorce!”
“Til exin another day. I’m a bit tired. Let’s leave it at that.
After hanging up, Ang sat on the sofa for a while longer before returning to her bedroom.
In the study, Keh was on the phone with Kevin
“Mr. Sinir, I’ve looked into it. Debra was the one behind tonight’s incid
She has returned to the country recently and has never interacted with Ms. Ang Lewis, so it
might be Jennifer who was the mastermind”
i’s incident. Debra was a close friend of Ms. Jennifer Lewis when she was abroad.
Keh’s face turned sullen, and he said, “Send what you’ve found to my phone.”
“Might away!”
After receiving a notification in his inbox, Keh sternly opened the message and checked it.
12:20 PM
He sent a message to Kevin, instructing him to erase all traces. Only then did he call Jennifer.
When the call was connected, Jennifer remained silent for a few seconds before saying,
“Keh, I thought you didn’t want anything to do with
Why are you calling me now?”
“About the video, is it rted to you in any way!
Jennifer’s breathing became noticeably heavier, and she retorted, “Are you suspecting me?
Keh said indifferently. Just answer my question.”
“Not Even if Ang is at fault, she’s still I my sister. How could I possibly harm her?”
Upon hearing this, Keh narrowed his eyes and spoke in a stern tone. “I’ve already looked into
this matter. It seems Debra is responsible by far, but if I dig deeper, I can find more than you think.
I’ll give you one more chance. Does this have anything to do with you?”
Jennifer was intimidated by Keh’s stern tone. It took a while before she responded, “Yes, it was
me. I’m sick of seeing you with her. It should be me by your side!
I’m jealous of her, so jealous that I almost lost my mind! That’s why I did it! You think I’m a joke,
right?”

Keh’s lips were tightly pressed together as he replied, “I’ll let it go this time. Don’t y these
pointless tricks again. goodwill for you!”
After hanging up the phone, Keh was filled with irritation.
It seemed he needed to elerate the acquisition of Empyria Group. Once he handed Empyria
Group over to Jennifer, he wouldn’t give her any more chances to get close to him
The next morning, as soon as Ang got out of bed, she received a call from Paul.
“Ang, have you gotten up?”
Sensing the cautious tone in Paul’s voice, Ang frowned, “What’s up?”
Paul cleared his throat before speaking. “We didn’t get a chance to sit down together at your
grandfather’s birthday party yesterday. Today, your grandpa and grandma have instructed the
kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes. Why don’t youe over this evening for dinner?”
Ang finally understood why Paul’s attitude towards her had changed, but she knew she would fail
their expectations
Let aside her poor rtionship with Keh. Even if they were on good terms, she wouldn’t ask
Keh to help the Lewis family.
“No need. I’m quite busy and might not be able to make it
“I thought you are a full–time housewife now. How could you be busy!”
“I’ve gotten a job now, I have to go to work if there’s nothing else,” she said.
Paul was stunned, onlying to his senses when he heard the busy tone on the phone.
Karen looked displeased, and she curled her lips. “How is it? Did she agree toe over?”
Paul shook his head. “She said she’s got a job and can’t make it”
Karen scoffed, “What kind of decent job could she possibly get? It’s probably just washing dishes in
some diner! If that’s the case, you should tell her to quit early and save the Lewis family from
embarrassment!”
Paul looked coldly at Karen, his eyes devoid of emotion. “Ang is Keh’s wife, after all. That’s
totally nonsense.”
“If Keh hadn’t been disabled after that ident, do you think we would let a woman who didn’t
even finish high school be Keh’s wife?”
Ang had dropped out of high school and suddenly disappeared for a while. When she returned,
she never mentioned going back to school.
In the Lewis family, Ang had the lowest level of education, and Andrea often mocked about it.
Karen always felt embarrassed by this. If it weren’t for Jennifer’s satisfactory performance, Karen
couldn’t imagine what else Andrea would ridicule them for.
*Karen! I warn you, ΠΟ matter what, Ang is still your biological daughter!”
“I have no such daughter! In my eyes, Jennie is the only daughter I have!”
With that. Karen turned and walked away.
Paul watched Karen’s retreating figure, feeling a headacheing on.
12:20 PM
He dialed his assistant’s number. “Find out where Ang is working
At 10 a.m., Frank red at Ang in the top–floor conference room of Empyria Group, mming a
stack of documents on the table. He said coldly, “Ms. Lewis, my department is now practically

operations have almost copsed!
