“I said the wrong thing.” Lewis breathed a heavy sigh. “Please don’t take it to heart, James. I am here today to apologize to you and Ang on behalf of Jessica. When she wakes up, she will definitelye and apologize to you too.”
The group of people made some small talk. Although Lewis kept apologizing to them and maintained a low profile, it was not difficult for one to tell that he was defending Jessica all the time.
Adeline and Timothy tried to chime in several times, but Lewis shouted them down. During this period, Edward also arrived in a hurry and apologized to Ang sincerely.
The group argued for almost an hour before Lewis left with his people.
Seeing that the drama was over, the lookers-on dispersed too.
It was unknown where Gabri got an apple from. She shook her head andmented while eating the apple, “Tsk, there’s no idiot in this world… Or is there?”
Gabri threw a meaningful nce at Ang as she said thest three words.
Ang didn’tment on it. She indeed was the idiot among this group of people, and couldn’t stack up against any of them no matter in scheming or life experience.
– Which was why she insisted on leaving James after learning the truth.
However, judging from what James said in the car, it was just an extravagant hope that Ang left him. The only thing she was able to do now was y along. Avoiding him blindly would only make her even more passive.
“Shut up.” James nced at Gabri, a glint of warning in his eyes.
Gabri gulped down the rest of the apple, tossed the apple core into the trash can aside and gave a bright smile. “I asked two people to take a video of what Adeline said just now.”
“Great job. You’ll get a double bonus this month,” Jamesplimented and pulled Ang into Dream Club.
Gabri had thought that Ang would struggle, but found that Ang stood next to James obediently without moving. Gabri raised her eyebrows slightly and clicked her tongue.
“Thank you, boss,” Gabri kept pace with the two and said, gloating, “But when Lewis was here, the two people following behind him also mingled with the crowd and took pictures. I reckon they’re up to something.”
James was not surprised at this. Actually, he had noticed it when Lewis had arrived.
“Did he apologize just now to wipe the te clean for Jessica?” After a pause, Ang tilted her head and asked James.
Before James could speak, Gabriughed first, “Since the trial result is already carved in stone, there’s no use trying to wipe the te clean.”Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Gabri had a gleam of seduction in her eyes. “Lewis was just trying his best to get the Cooper family and the Smith family out of this by doing that, and this is the best result he can get at present. President Harvey, am I right?”
“Yes.” James nodded.
Ang puckered her lips, lowered her head and went into Dream Club with them.
She was markedly different from these people, but from now on, she couldn’t avoid having contact with them…
Helpless.
This word could best describe her mood in such situation.
“Let’s go to my office. I’ve just got a can of nice tea.” Gabri was leading the way in the front in a charming manner. When she caught a glimpse of Ang’s expression, she began to muse.
James looked down at Ang and tightened his grip on her hand. “You’ve got me.”
“Well!” Gabri pushed open the office door, stepped aside and teased, “President Harvey, you’re getting better at sweet talking.”
James squinted at Gabri and asked, “Where’s the tea?”
“What’s the hurry?” Gabri said, annoyed, “Come in with Ang first, and I’ll make tea right now.”
When Ang got in, James closed the door, sat on the sofa and asked, “How’s everything going with Mr. Sutton?”
Mr. Sutton was the one who held the most shares in the Harvey Group apart from the Harvey family. James didn’t know his background well either, but was only aware that he was close to a consortium of the United States, and that he might be one of the heirs of that consortium.
“Don’t even mention him!” Gabri rolled her eyes and said helplessly, “That man is like a piece of wood at ordinary times. It’d be a miracle if he can spit out one word while others are talking.”
“However, he turned out to be a crazy one in bed! He did a lot of dirty talk and was full of energy. I spared no effort to cater for him. I called him brother. I called him daddy. It was after a restless night that I got apliment from him!”
Ang looked up at her, a little surprised.
“Surprised?” Gabri raised her eyebrows. “There are countless beautiful women in this world, but only a few men have capital. It’s a kind of opportunity when a beautiful woman can trade her own body for resources, got it?”
Ang knew that such phenomenon urred all the time in the circle. She was not opposed to it, but not approved of it either. Hearing Gabri asking her, she only nodded.
“Howe you’re so innocent when you’re one of the Chantes? I wonder whether President Chante has been too kind or too mean to you!” Gabri eximed and went back to the point, “That wood told me, the other directors shared the same opinion with him. They all hoped that you would continue being the president.”
Gabri paused and went on, “But those two aunts of yours and your uncle might change sides.”
Hearing Gabri’sment on her, Ang clenched her fists slightly and lowered her head, her mind racing.
“Yeah.” James frowned inconspicuously. “Grandpa told me that.”
The water was boiling. Gabri made two cups of tea, served the tea to them and eximed, “Lawson has been rather crazytely. He was willing to hold out a carrot of his own shares just to drive you away.”
“Not only to drive me away,” James gave a light snort, “but he also wants me to be the assistant of Ralphie, as well as a tool to make money who gets paid regrly.”
Ang only knew that James was not in a great situation in the Harvey family, but didn’t know that it was so difficult.
Ang tilted her head and stared at him, and her color kept changing. Somehow, she felt a lump in her throat.
Gabri was sipping tea. Hearing what James said, she choked and stopped smiling after a while. “Is Lawson… out of his mind?”
“He has advanced lung cancer and doesn’t have much time left. Of course he has toy foundation for the most promising heir.” James raised the teacup to his mouth and blew on it, coldness shing across his eyes.
Gabri put down the teacup, walked up to him, and stroked his head sympathetically, saying in pity, “What a poor kid…”
“Scram!” James pped her hand away, frowning.
“What a cold-blooded animal!” Gabri massaged the hand that just got pped, forced her way in front of Ang and sat down. “Look, since your man is in a difficult situation right now, how about learning something aboutpany management, so that in the future…”
Narrowing his eyes, James red at her. “Gabri.”
“Alright, I’ll shut up!” Gabri threw up her hands in surrender and kept herself away from the trouble. “How’s the tea? Isn’t it great? If you like it, just take it away with you. I won’t charge more. Two thousand is enough!”
While Gabri was talking, she didn’t stand up, but pressed her whole body against Ang. She was almost sitting on Ang’sps.
