Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 273

"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 manipulate 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 slapped James across the face.

It was a hard slap, and Angela saw that James’ cheek grew swollen very soon. On his cheek there were a clear hand mark, and a nail scratch.

Angela 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 Angela, his eyes blazing with anger.

Angela 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?" Angela 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 flatly, "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 Angela to prison right now, and keep her there for the rest of her life!"

Angela frowned, extremely tired of playing the role of a burden. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but found that there was no use saying anything—
