Chapter 273 But, She Got… Upset


    "You’ve still got your miserable life!" growled Lawson.


    James took a step forward and drew closer to Lawson. "Are you willing to give me up, grandpa?"


    Lawson’s face clouded over with anger.


    "You were not willing in the past because you thought you were able to manipte me, and you didn’t


    want to kill such a great money maker like me," James said, "Now you’re willing, but due to the


    existence of my aunts and Mr. Sutton, you can’t just ignore my miserable life, can you?"


    Lawson stretched out his hand and pped James across the face.


    It was a hard p, and Ang saw that James’ cheek grew swollen very soon. On his cheek there


    were a clear hand mark, and a nail scratch.


    Ang stepped forward, but clenched her fists and stepped back when she noticed James’ wink.


    But, she got… upset.


    "Who taught you to talk to me like this?" Lawson roared in fury, "Kneel down!"


    James looked down a little, restrained the emotion in his eyes and knelt down before Lawson flew into


    a rage.


    "Who allowed you to spread the news about Jessica?" Lawson snarled, "Brother Smith came to the


    hospital today and told me about it, and I was too embarrassed to face him!"


    After that, Lawson turned to look at Ang, his eyes zing with anger.


    Ang stiffened, her palms sweating.


    If Lawson hadn’t had advanced cancer, he would never let off her and James. However, since Lawson


    didn’t have much time left, they only needed to get through this period of time…


    "Why were you embarrassed, grandpa?" James said, "It’s the Smith family who are wrong, so they


    should be the ones to be embarrassed."


    Lawson kicked James on the chest and cursed, "Bastard!"


    James was kicked straight to the floor. Half of his handsome face was pale while the other half red and


    swollen, which looked so weird.


    "Are you OK?" Ang walked up to James with a frown and helped him up. Her heart was beating


    faster than usual, and she couldn’t tell it was out of anger or anything else.


    James shook his head and said, "I’m alright."


    "If you have any trouble with Jessica, why wouldn’t you solve the problem in private? Why would you


    have to make a fuss about it in the media?" Lawson’s face grew red. "Do you know how much more the


    Smith Group’s stock price will drop since such negative news came out!"


    "Brother Smith came over and told me face to face that he would cancel part of the cooperation with


    the Harvey Group. Do you have any idea how much this will affect the Harvey Group?!"


    James knelt down upright on the floor, neither too humble nor too arrogant. He repeated the answer the


    third time today, "Neither am I the president of the Harvey Group, nor do I hold any shares in the


    Harvey Group. If anything happens to the Harvey Group, what does it have anything to do with me?"


    "Are you so dissatisfied with me that you want to take advantage of the Harvey Group to bring me


    down?" Lawson raised his eyebrows and gasped, furious.


    James said tly, "I dare not."


    "You dare not? What else dare you not do?" Lawson gave a sneer, "James, you’d better not provoke


    me, or I’ll send Ang to prison right now, and keep her there for the rest of her life!"


    Ang frowned, extremely tired of ying the role of a burden. She opened her mouth and wanted to


    say something, but found that there was no use saying anything—


    Any word was in vain in front of absolute power.


    Ang swallowed. That sense of powerlessness engulfed her instantly like a swamp. The more she


    struggled, the sooner she would die.


    "Why so tense, grandpa?" James’ look was the same as usual, if one ignored the sweat on both sides


    of his nose. "The Smith family has been developing faster these years, and they have already tried to


    step into the electrical appliance business. Do you know that?"


    Lawson straightened his face, too angry to speak to James.


    James didn’t push further and just stopped here.


    "So?" Lawson sat down on the sofa and drank a cup of tea to calm down.


    Kneeling on the floor with a swollen hand mark on his cheek, James should have been embarrassed.


    However, at this moment, he was staring at Lawson and spoke slowly, not embarrassed at all.


    "Two years ago, the Smith family put out the word that they would make a connection with the Harvey


    family by marriage, and thus built rtionships with a small part of the Harvey Group’s cooperative


    partners."


    "Originally, the Smith Group’s main business included real estate and daily necessities, while we


    Harvey Group’s main business included hi-tech electronic products, electrical appliances and


    entertainment industry."


    "The Smith Group has long yearned to step into hi-tech electronic product business and electrical


    appliance business, but hi-tech electronic product business was not something they could easily get


    into, so they focused on household appliances. Therefore, from two years ago, they have taken


    advantage of the news that they would make a connection with the Harvey Group by marriage to work


    with our cooperative partners, and meanwhile, get into the electrical appliance market."


    "Not long after the Smith family entered the electrical appliance market, they found that their product


    developer failed to meet consumer demand, so the Smith family poached one main product developer


    from the Harvey Group at a high price, and copied three electrical appliances of the Harvey Group in a


    row," James said, "I…"


    Lawson interrupted him with a frown, "So the reason you did that this time was to warn the Smith


    family?"


    "Exactly," James answered, "but the n was destroyed by you, and you were scolded by Grandpa


    Smith. Besides," James pointed at his own cheek, "you pped me."


    Staring at James, Ang couldn’t tell if he was telling the truth for a moment.


    However, no matter James was telling the truth or not, it was undeniable that Ang’s existence put

    him into a more difficult situation in the Harvey family.


    "Get up," Lawson pondered for a while and said to James, who was kneeling on the floor.


    Ang stepped forward and helped James up. Then she frowned and went into the kitchen. Before


    long, she went back with a frozen duck wrapped in a towel and stuffed it into James’ hand.


    "… Don’t bother," James refused at the sight of the dead duck’s open eyes.


    Ang pursed her lips, pressed the duck wrapped in the towel against his swollen cheek, and grabbed


    his hand to have him hold it himself.


    Intentionally or unintentionally, that frozen duck’s head was facing Lawson, as if it would revive the next


    second, pounce on and peck at him.


    Lawson got ufortable being stared at by the dead duck, so he moved aside with a frown. Since he


    was sitting on the sofa opposite Ang and James, no matter how he moved, the dead duck kept


    staring at him.


    "Nathen, throw away that fucking duck!" Lawson said fretfully.


    The baldheaded man stepped forward, took over the dead duck from James’ hand and walked towards


    the door.


    "The Smith family has indeed gone too far recently. In any case, Ang is pregnant with a Harvey, but


    how dare they bully her again and again!" Lawson gave a hard snort, "I’ll deal with this, and you don’t


    have to take care of it anymore."


    James responded yes.


    "And you!" Lawson red at Ang. "Since you’re pregnant, don’t run about. Especially don’t go to


    see that girl of the Lewis family. What if she shoves you and thus you have a miscarriage?"


    "That girl of the Lewis family." referred to Adeline.
