Chapter 94 Pushing Your Engagement


    “Well, it’s rather nosy of me.”


    The corners of Edward’s mouth were curved, but there was no smile in his eyes.


    James didn’t make a sound as he sipped his wine, sort of acquiescing.


    “It’s rare to see you so attached to someone.”


    Edward sighed and said with indication, “Your mother has disagreements with your auntie Adeline, so it


    is understandable that she supports Ang, but it is unkind for you to do so...”


    The two families would be united by marriage. Ang was considered an enemy of the Smith family,


    but the Harvey family had repeatedly stood up for Ang. From an outsider’s point of view, the Harvey


    family had indeed acted unkindly.


    “As for the car ident two years ago, others may be unclear about it, but there is no need for you to


    pretend to be confused.


    The one who is being set up is me, not the Smith family, so you guys don’t need toe before me as


    victims to gain sympathy.”


    James frowned slightly, lifted the red wine, and finished it. It was rare to see unbearable anger on


    James’s face.


    Edward frowned with a face of confusion, mixed with annoyance, “What do you mean by I pretend to


    be confused?


    Do you mean that the car ident two years ago was self-directed by our Smith family?”


    The ending syble was slightly raised. “Yes or no, you know it yourself.”


    For the past two years, the Smith family had been talking about this matter and asked them get


    engaged, and James had very little patience left now.


    Edward looked straight at him and growled low.

    “James, don’t forget that back then, the police came and said the evidence was overwhelming.”


    “Well.” James sneered, “If you have to pretend to be confused and theorize with me about this matter,


    forgive me.”


    After saying that, he put the empty ss on the table, turned his head, and walked away.


    Edward stayed where he was, his expression changing, but finally took a few quick steps to stop him,


    “Okay, if you don’t like to talk about that, then we won’t talk about it.”


    James nced at him coldly. His expression had returned to normal, but he did not make a sound.


    “I’m old and not as strong as you, so sit down and talk.” Edward walked around James and sat in the


    empty seat behind him.


    James sat down a seat away from him, “If you have anything to say, you can just say it because I don’t


    have much time.”


    “James, these two years, you didn’t agree to get engaged to Jessica. Is there still someone else in your


    heart?” Edward said.


    The temperature in the hall was a bit high. James took off his suit jacket and rested it on the back of his


    chair, “I just don’t want to be with a woman who is good at scheming.”


    “Assuming that the car ident two years ago was self-directed by Jessica, did she harm your


    interests? Did it hurt the Harvey family?” Edward said.


    “No, right? Why are you stubborn in this matter?”


    James snorted coldly, “Uncle Edward, you have a really special way of exonerating your daughter.”


    “I’m not exonerating Jessica. I just want you to take less of a wrong turn.”


    Edward tapped his finger twice in front of him and said in the tone of a mature man,


    “You have grown up all the way smoothly, so you can’t get past this hurdle since you may have been


    plotted by Jessica and this is why...”


    James interrupted with his slightly cool voice, “Uncle Edward, so you admitted that she was the one


    who was setting me up?”


    Edward paused and didn’t answer the question, but continued,


    “James, don’t let the arrogance ruin your future. Jessica was thinking more but she has never done


    anything wrong to you or the Harvey family, and that’s all that matters.”


    “I never feel that I need a woman to n for my future.”


    James stared at him and said meaningfully, “I’m not like you.” Edward seemed to have missed the


    meaning of his words, “You are outstanding among your generation, but you are not well received by


    your father, and the shares you hold in thepany are no match for those of your uncle’s children,


    right?”


    “So?”


    James’s legs were folded together, one hand resting on the back of the chair, his nicely shaped


    corbones and slightly sprayed pecs revealed in his slightly open shirt.


    Edward said, “Your grandpa likes Jessica a lot. If you marry Jessica, she can help you in front of your


    grandpa.


    And if you move fast enough to give him his first great-grandson, he will definitely give lots of shares to


    your kid.”


    He spoke at length, and James summed it up directly with one sentence, “You came to urge me to get


    engaged to Jessica?”


    “...Yes.”


    Edward nodded in acknowledgment after a slight pause.


    Jamesughed lightly, stood up, and picked up his suit jacket, “I still say that, if you are in a hurry, you


    can find someone else to marry her.”


    He put on his suit jacket and didn’t give Edward another chance to speak as he simply turned around


    and left.


    The smile on Edward’s face disappeared. He picked up a ss of red wine, drank it, ced it heavily


    on the table, and gritted his teeth, “Insensitive little brat!”


    It was 8 p.m. now, and the birthday party only started for two hours. The departure of the birthday girl


    herself did not affect the good mood of the guests.


    After James separated from Edward, he met Sean, who was wearing a white suit, and Raya, who was


    hanging on to him like a ko.


    “She pesters me toe and find Miss Ang, but I searched twice with her but couldn’t find her.


    When I asked the others, they all said they didn’t know, so I had toe to you.” Sean had a helpless


    face.


    James rubbed his brow and spat out three words sinctly, “She was gone.”


    “Gone? Isn’t she the birthday girl? Why did she leave? Now, where did she go?”


    Raya let go of her master, forgetting her fear at this moment, and crackled with a pair of big eyes.


    James lifted his eyes and nced at her.


    Raya''s straight spine instantly bent down and instantly moved behind Sean.


    “I don’t know.” James frowned slightly and sat down on a side seat, pinching a piece of snack and


    throwing it into his mouth, chewing slowly.


    Raya immediately wilted, then stole a nce at James, covering her stomach fiercely, and screamed


    twice, “Master, my menstruation ising, so I’ll leave first!”


    Sean couldn’t stand to look at her.


    “Master, you give the gift to Ang!”


    Raya turned back halfway after running for a while, shoved the gift into his hand, then covered her


    stomach with a cry “Ouch” and ran away in front of a crowd holding back theirughters.


    “See, that’s her nature.”


    Sean pushed his gold-rimmed sses, and nced at James, “Are you in a bad mood?”


    James took a tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth, “You’d be like that if you were stuck by


    someone.”


    “It depends on whether you like her. I’m still quite happy that my girl is stick to me.”


    Sean yed with the gift box and smiled with a swirling smile, “Weren’t you quite happy when Ang


    was stick to you before?”


    Hearing this, James pulled his lips down and a coldness shed under his eyes, “I never said I felt


    happy that she was stuck to me.”


    Sean tsked and returned to the previous topic, “It is indeed really bad if you can not get rid of the Smith


    family.”


    He moved closer to James and said with a squeeze.


    “James, are they urging you to get engaged again?”
