When Greyson called again, Ang was just about to answer when a bouncer stopped her from doing so, “Put it on speaker.”


    said, before releasing her hand.


    Ang took a deep breath and, barely able to adjust her emotions, pressed connect and speakerphone.


    “Ang, why aren’t you home? Where did you go? Where are the two men who were watching Tao Tao and the others? Did you get rid of them?”


    Ang put the phone in herp and rubbed her somewhat cold hands together, “How am I supposed to answer all the questions you’re asking at once?”


    “Well, first tell me where you’ve been. It’s not like you went to see that old hag , is it?” Greyson’s voice was full of anxiety.


    Ang looked at the bodyguards beside her and saw that they were all unresponsive, so it seemed highly probable that they were not ’s men, but had been sent by the big man.


    “…… I’m not stupid, why would Ie to see  sote? Wouldn’t that be a sheep into a tiger’s mouth?” Ang said.


    “So where have you been?”


    “As good as  is, she can’t beat the Brown family and the Harvey family, and I came to make a trip to Mrs. Harvey and had her force  to call those two back. That’s it. I’m almost there, that’s all.”


    Ang, fearing that saying more than one thing would cause him to be suspicious, simply hung up the phone.


    After a while, the car pulled up in front of the Chante family vi.


    Ang got out of the car and the bodyguards followed her and walked in with her.


    Before she had felt more or less safe with them around. But now, she just felt like she was standing naked in front of them, without any semnce of privacy.


    “You’re back atst, I was worried sick!” Greyson greeted her and checked up and down, left and right, to make sure she was okay.


    Ang nced over, didn’t see Luna, hesitated and asked, “Where’s my sister-inw?”


    “Where’s the room. She says you’re guilty of seeing her now and she’s guilty of seeing you, so it’s better not to see her, to hold off for a while so you don’t get embarrassed when you do.”


    Talking about it, Greyson’s face clouded with sadness. He fished out a cigarette and lighter, but nced at Ang and put them away again.


    Ang’s eyes fell on the half missing cigarette case, “Since when did you start smoking?”


    “It’s two days. Smoke it to feel better inside.” Greyson has been knocked out for a while by his bodyguard, but the blood under his eyes is still fresh, and the dark circles under them are heavy.


    The two siblings sat in the living room, looking no different than usual, but with Luna’s arm between them, there was something different after all.


    Either way, Luna has suffered undeservedly from Ang.


    “I’m sorry, brother.” Ang said with downcast eyes.


    Greyson looked annoyed, “I told you this had nothing to do with you, why are you talking about it again?”


    He paused for a moment and snapped his eyes to her, “Ang, you said the old hag was afraid of Mrs. Harvey, didn’t you?”


    Ang was a little confused and didn’t think about what he meant by asking this, so she just nodded.


    “Ang!” said Greyson urgently as he stood up and walked quickly to her side, “You’re close to Mrs. Harvey and she’s always liked you, will you go and tell her to break that old hag’s right arm? ”


    “!”


    Ang didn’t think he was hitting on that, she avoided his eyes, “The Smith family won’t stop pestering the Harvey family these days, Mrs. Harvey is quite busy, we just bothered her, better not bother her again.”


    She expected Greyson to say more and was thinking of what to say in reply when she noticed him letting go of her arm.


    “Hmm.”


    After responding, nothing more was said.


    Ang looked up to see him taking two steps back, putting distance between them. He just looked at her in silence, with strangeness and sadness, as well as disappointment and pain in his eyes.


    She opened her mouth to defend herself, but found nothing to say.


    Hard to bear.


    If he had scolded her twice, she would have felt better, but he didn’t say a word, just looked at her.


    “I’m going to stay with Dad in the hospital and go to work first thing in the morning, you stay home and look after your sister-inw.” Greyson picked up the coat on the hanger, draped it over him and left.


    Ang watched him go out the door and followed him to the door, only to find that the floor was already covered in ayer of white.


    The first snowfall of this winter has arrived.


    –


    Vi .


    Just as Ang left, Jessica came in.


    In just a few days, she had lost a lot of weight and her face didn’t look too good.


    She wore a camel-coloured coat and skinny jeans, which at first nce looked fine, but on closer inspection you could see that the tweed of the coat was pilling a bit and the jeans were a very ordinary floor length item.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    Grandpa Brown has been discharged from the hospital with no intention of letting her go, blocking all her options and forcing her to go back on a blind date.


    “When Ang has had her showdown with James, the bodyguard will be gone for half an hour during that time. That’s the longest I’ve gotten you.”  said.


    Jessica sat down on the sofa and poured herself a cup of tea, “I know exactly what you’re doing this for. We’re mutually beneficial at best, and you don’t have to act like you’re giving me a handout.”


    If she hadn’t wanted to go back and be at the mercy of her family, she wouldn’t have chosen to work with this old woman!


    “I just love your clever little self, but do you think that you’re so clever, how did you end up in this situation?”  hid her lips andughed softly.


    Jessica raised her eyebrows slightly and stood up straight away, “Since you’re so insincere about working together, then – goodbye, you can find someone else to work with.”


    She didn’t dawdle, she got up and left, not at all as if she was pretending.


    stood up and called out to her, “I was just telling Ang that you’re not as hot-tempered as she is! All right, I said the wrong thing, I apologise, let’s sit down and talk, that’s fine, right?”


    “If you want to talk properly, you don’t have to say those shady things.” Jessica sat back on the couch.


    Noah called the maids to bring new fruits and snacks and put them in front of her.


    “In fact, with your ability, even if you go back to the Smith family for a blind date, you can still find a way to make a big careerter. Even if you don’t want to go back to the Smith family, many gentry are interested in you, like Ralphie is a good choice, so why do you choose to work with me?”  asked.


    Jessica lifted her eyes, “Just a little cooperation and you have to ask so many questions?”


    “Don’t be angry either, I don’t mean anything else. After all, if you do this, you’re putting the rest of your life on the line, it’s not worth it in any way, and I can’t afford the consequences if you have something else in mind and the whole n is exposed.”  said in a slow voice.

    Jessica ate a snack before answering her words, “Because I don’t have a future anymore, is that reason enough?”


    She would rather destroy herself than rely on men she despises!
