Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

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

said, before releasing her hand.

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

“Angela, 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?”

Angela put the phone in her lap 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 Ela, is it?” Greyson’s voice was full of anxiety.

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

“…… I’m not stupid, why would I come to see Ela so late? Wouldn’t that be a sheep into a tiger’s mouth?” Angela said.

“So where have you been?”

“As good as Ela 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 Ela to call those two back. That’s it. I’m almost there, that’s all.”

Angela, 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 villa.

Angela 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 semblance of privacy.

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

Angela glanced over, didn’t see Luna, hesitated and asked, “Where’s my sister-in-law?”

“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 glanced at Angela and put them away again.

Angela’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 Angela.

“I’m sorry, brother.” Angela 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, “Angela, you said the old hag was afraid of Mrs. Harvey, didn’t you?”

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

“Angela!” 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? ”

“!”

Angela 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.

Angela 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.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

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-in-law.” Greyson picked up the coat on the hanger, draped it over him and left.

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

The first snowfall of this winter has arrived.

Villa Ela.

Just as Angela 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 glance 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.

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 Angela 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.” Ela 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?” Ela hid her lips and laughed 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.

Ela stood up and called out to her, “I was just telling Angela 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 career later. 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?” Ela 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 plan is exposed.” Ela 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!
