Chapter 373 She Felt Like Someone Was Watching

    Chapter 373 She Felt Like Someone Was Watching


    “What’s wrong?” asked James.


    Ang shook her head, “Nothing, I’m just looking around.”


    She was probably more sensitive because she was pregnant.


    “Okay, look at the menu and order something. I need to use the bathroom.” James stood up and there


    was a look of hesitation in his eyes. But he didn’t say anything and left.


    The moment right after he left, Ang felt like someone was staring at her again.


    She looked around and like before, everyone was eating and no one was looking at her. But the feeling


    didn’t go away. The gaze followed her and she felt like she was being trapped underyers of invisible


    Ang felt unease, she gripped her phone hard and wanted to call James the moment something went


    wrong.


    But other than the feeling of being watched, nothing else out of the ordinary happened.


    “Fancy seeing you here, Miss Ang.”


    Suddenly, a woman called her name from behind. Ang’s back tensed up, she quickly turned around


    and checked who was it.


    It was Cathleen.


    “Do you mind if I sit here for a bit?” asked Cathleen. She pulled out the chair opposite Ang and sat


    down before waiting for an answer.


    “You are so wrapped up. I thought I got the wrong person for a second.”


    Ang frowned, “You recognized me the moment I walked in?”


    “Well, not really. I didn’t notice you, my fiancé did.” Cathleen had a look of disdain on her face, “Well, he


    did have a crush on you. Even if you’re in disguise, wearing sunsses or a cap, he can still recognize


    you. Heck, even if you turn into ash, he can still recognize you.”


    Listening to what Cathleen was saying, the people watching her just now were probably Cathleen and


    Danis. It would make sense like that.


    But for some reason, Ang still felt like something was off.


    Her intuition was telling her that the people watching her in the dark weren’t Cathleen and Danis.


    “I’m only talking to you for a bit and you’re lost in your own world. Are you disrespecting me, or do you


    want me to feel disgusted with you?” asked Cathleen in an eerie tone of voice.


    Ang only then stopped daydreaming and said inattentively, “No need to beat around the bush. Just


    say it, what do you want from me?”


    “Fine, if you say so, then I’ll speak my mind!” Cathleen continued saying, “The Smith family bought


    25% of the Chante Group’s shares, did you know that?”


    Ang nodded, “And?”


    “What does it have to do with me?”


    “Jessica and her gang n to sell the shares in 6 days, and then they will tell the public about the dirt


    they have on Chante family. The Chante Group’s reputation would be badly damaged. Tell Mr. James


    about it, ask him to help the Chante family, you hear me?”


    Cathleen stared at Ang with a look of disgust on her face.


    Ang looked at her, “Why are you telling me this?”


    “Because Danis has no balls to talk to you. I wouldn’te over if he would!” Cathleen stood up


    impatiently, “Remember to tell Mr. James about it! I’m leaving!”


    “Wait.” Ang stood up and called out to her.


    Cathleen turned around and replied shortly, “What?”


    “Both sides benefit from this matter. Why are you talking to me as if you’re ordering me around or


    giving me alms?” said Ang.


    Cathleen crossed her hand and scoffed, “I’m telling you what the Smith family is nning to do, telling


    you to be prepared. How does this benefit the both of us?”


    “Then why are you telling me this if you hate me so much?” asked Ang.


    The smirk on Cathleen’s face vanished, she was speechless.


    Ang said, “I’ll answer on your behalf. It’s because Jessica was the one who nned this. If she


    seeded, she would have a higher chance to take over the Smith Group.”


    “You, or you and your family, were worried that Danis wouldn’t win against Jessica. That was why you


    are telling me about this. You want me to ruin Jessica’s ns, is that right?”


    Cathleen took the opportunity toe to talk to Ang when James left the seat because she was


    worried that he would be able to tell what she was scheming. But she never would’ve thought that


    Ang could guess what she was nning.


    She became smarter, after 2 years in jail!


    Cathleen talked to her in a nicer tone now, but she said carefully, “Well, that is the case. But no matter


    what, what I tell you will benefit the Chante family.”


    “We both benefit, you’re not really helping me and I’m not really helping you,” said Ang, “You want to


    use James to ruin Jessica’s n. I can ept that, but I have my conditions.”


    She said the same thing back to Cathleen, but she made it sounded like they were helping the Delia


    family instead.

    Cathleen’s face turned grim, “Ang, don’t get full of yourself!”


    She wouldn’t tell Ang about this if she wasn’t afraid of Jessica!


    “Well, then. We have nothing to discuss.” Ang sat down.


    Cathleen got anxious seeing that Ang didn’t care, she said, “Think about it, if you don’t tell Mr.


    James or ask for his help, then the Chante Group is done for!”


    “Not really. The Smith Group took 25 %t of the Chante Group’s share, they would be our main


    shareholder. If the Chante Group expands nicely, it will benefit the Smith Group too.”


    “Do you know that twopanies under the Chante Group are researching new drugs? These drugs


    could bring us great profits. If the Chante family and the Smith Group work together, we both will


    benefit.”


    “If Jessica seeded and Mr. Harvey dies, then Danis will stand less than 25 % of the chance to take


    over the Smith Group,” said Ang.


    She would never make a truce with Jessica, but it wasn’t like what Chathleen thought. She thought that


    Ang would forget about their past resentment for the sake of profit.


    Cathleen''s face was changing colours, she didn’t say anything.


    “You should quickly make your decision. James will be back soon and I’m much nicer to talk to than


    him,” said Ang.


    Cathleen clenched her fist and gritted her teeth as she said, “You better not die in my hands! Say it,


    what’s your conditions?”


    “My conditions aren’t that bad. Just tell me what the Smith family is nning recently, all of it in details


    and honestly,” said Ang.


    James was walking towards them.


    “… fine!” yelled Cathleen. She scoffed and quickly left.


    James walked towards the table, took off his suit jacket and put it on the chair. He asked, “What did


    Cathleen want?”


    Ang told James what happened just now.


    “You’re getting good at cheating people now,” said James as he ruffled her head. His eyes were


    smiling.


    Ang felt a bit embarrassed at him doing something so affectionate in public. She avoided his


    touches with an unnatural look on her face, she said, “I learn it from you.”


    “Conjugal felicity?” James rolled up his sleeves and exposed his firm and lean arms. “But you haven’t


    called me your husband yet. Come on, say it.”


    He inched forward and lifted her chin flirtingly.
