Chapter 390 I Missed James

"That's fine. Since you don't want to hear this, then I won't nag anymore. To be honest, Angela, I don't

think you're good enough for James. And that's why I want to separate the two of you." Ela said

sincerely.

Angela frowned. Since when did she have to ask others for their opinions when she wanted to be with

James?

Before Angela was about to speak, Ela said first, "Angela, I'm not asking for your opinion. If you agree

with my offer, I will let James out. If you don't agree with my offer, then I won't take things personally."

"You won't take things personally? You are just an old award-winning actress who has stopped your

acting career for years, so in what capacity are you going to deal with it?" Angela sneered.

She didn't know what Ela was trying to do, but she was sure that Ela was trying hard to separate her

from being with James, so she was definitely not doing it for James' sake!

Ela hated being called an old woman. When she heard Angela's words, she put away her smile, "Don't

make things so literal! Don't you get clever with me! Angela, I'll give you half an hour to think about it.

Do you promise or not? Just say it!"

Angela pursed her lips, and her nails dug deep into her palms.

As Ela had said, even if she said more now, it would be of no use. There were only two choices left for

her. She would either promise her or not! "Before you reply, I have to remind you of two things." Ela

stood up, walked over to Angela, and gently patted her face.

"First, if you want to touch the people from the Harvey Group, you can't afford to mess with the Harvey

family and the Brown family. Although Mr. Sutton has connections, he will never interfere with this."

"Besides, The Harvey Group does have something to do with human experimentation. And all that

evidence is true, but there's no way to confirm whether James knows about that yet."

Angela's face grew paler with every word she said.

Because what she said was true.

Ela straightened up and went over to pull up Noah, "Okay. I'll give you half an hour to think about it.

And no one will bother you. Well, if you want to leave, then no one will stop you. I'll see you in a bit."

She chuckled and took Noah's arm. Then they both left, laughing and joking.

The maid prepared a new pot of tea, a plate of snacks, and a plate of fruits for Angela, and also left the

lobby.

Angela was instantly left alone in the large lobby. And it looked like this from its appearance.

The lobby was brightly lit, but it was pitch black outside. There was no city noise and no sound of

insects chirping. Only the sound of the wind could be heard occasionally. She felt that it was so quiet

that it made her feel horrified.

Angela's back tightened, and she sat for a while. Then she tried to stand up and walked towards the

door.

When she reached the doorway where the light and darkness met, no one stopped her, but she paused

anyway.

If she had just left, what would James do?

If she could make a promise to Ela, would James really be able to get out of prison?

Angela looked at the shadows of the trees in the distance. When the wind blew on her face, she felt

incredibly cold and bitterly disappointed. She licked her dry lips and called Denise.

"What's up, Angela?" Denise took a while to answer the phone. And she sounded tired, "What's with

the sound of the wind? You're out now?"

"I just finished dinner. I'm taking a walk outside Bamboo Estate. I read on the Internet that walking more Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

would do good for pregnant women." Angela said.

"As your house is so spacious, you can take a walk inside. Go back now. Don't catch a cold!" Denise

had almost watched Angela grow up, so she knew she felt the cold a lot.

After the cool wind blew on her forehead, she suffered from a headache.

Angela didn't go inside, "Well...I am on my own. And I don't want to go back. Mrs. Harvey, I miss

James. When will he be back?"

Denise didn't make a sound for a while.

"Mrs. Harvey, are you not sure either?" Angela's heart sank a little, and she said bitterly, "If the Harvey

Group does prove to be involved in human experimentation, what will happen to James?"

Denise said in very vague terms and changed the subject, "What are you thinking all day long? We

have the Harvey family and the Brown family, so how can The Harvey Group fall? Come on. Don't think

too much. Go back inside and have a rest. James will be out of jail…in a short while."

"Well, I know. Then you go ahead and do your thing, and I'll go to bed. It's really a bit cold outside.

Good night."

Angela hung up the phone and looked up at the moon in the sky.

The moon looked like it was covered with a veil, which didn't look very clear. And the moon looked a

little gloomy in the night.

She put the phone away, smiled bitterly, and went back to the lobby.

The lobby was still empty, and there was no one there.

Angela sat on the sofa, poured a cup of hot tea, and warmed her hands, "I've got my answer. You could

come out."

The instant her voice broke off, the sound of footsteps came from the spiral staircase, accompanied by

Ela's laughter.

"I love working with someone as straightforward as you!"

Her voice clearly sounded elderly, but she was wearing makeup and dressing like a middle-aged

woman. Her voice and the way she was dressed together looked eerie.

Noah walked beside her and put his arm around her waist. His gestures and words were ambiguous.

Angela didn't know how others felt when they saw them, but as she watched the scene, she felt sick.

"I really don't deserve such praise. You have set up a trap in front of me and behind me, and you dug a

big trap for me in the middle. You told me to jump in, so I jumped in. Can you call that being

straightforward?"

She was just desperate and forced to do so!

Ela sat down on the sofa with Noah's arm around her, then snorted with laughter, "That's an interesting

metaphor."

"I will promise you to leave James, so you should also let him out, right?" Angela wasn't in the mood to

play along with her, so she asked her directly.

Ela leaned back and laughed, "It's hard to say."

"What do you mean?" Angela stood up at once.

Ela told her personally that she would let James out as long as she separated from James. However,

when she promised to break up with him, Ela said she wasn't sure if she could get James out of jail.

'Did she change her mind?'

"Don't rush. Let's sit down and talk about it." Ela straightened up and tapped the table a few times.

Angela did not sit down and said with a stern face, "Are you playing with me?"

"Do you think it's possible that I'm doing all this just to play with you?" Ela asked.

Angela frowned. It was not possible for Ela to do so, so what did she want to do?

"Sit down. Let's talk slowly. As long as you do as I say, then I will definitely get James out of jail." Ela's

voice was gentle, sounding like she was talking to her about trivial matters.

Angela sat on the sofa, and her back was tense.

Things were definitely not as simple as Ela had said!

Ela shot Noah a look. Then he got up and went upstairs. Not long after, he came down with a flash

drive and put it in front of Angela.

"It contains information about two projects of The Harvey Group. And it also includes the evidence that

James indirectly killed your mother. Do you want to look at it here? Or do you want to go home and

check it out later?" Ela asked.
