Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 226

"What did you say?" Felix raised his voice and said.

Before Angela said anything this time, one of the men said carefully, "When we brought Miss Chante here, the driver in that car told us they were Old Mr. Harvey's men."

Felix didn't say anything, but his face turned pale.

Angela was slightly relieved, but she didn't show it. She just said indifferently, "Yes, the Smith family and the Harvey family will be united by marriage and Jessica will be James’ wife, but..."

She touched her belly with soft eyes, "I'm pregnant with Old Mr. Harvey's grandson, two months already."

Felix's gaze fell along with her eyes on her flat belly. He felt sick as if he had eaten a fly and cursed in a low voice.

"And as you know, Old Mr. Harvey has terminal lung cancer and doesn't have much time left. He really wants to see his first grandchild before he dies. Tell me, if you get someone to rape me and cause a miscarriage, what will Old Mr. Harvey do?"

Angela's hands were trembling slightly, but her expression did not change much.

Felix's face turned pale and he almost believed her words. But at this time, the man who carried Angela over suddenly said, "But when we stopped the car, the car was heading for the prison. If Old Mr. Harvey really attaches so much attention to you, Miss Chante, why would he let someone take you to the prison?"

Angela's heart thumped and her hands were wet with sweat.

Felix narrowed his eyes and looked at Angela with a smirk, "How do you explain this? Is it fun to lie to me?"

"Old Mr. Harvey's men took me to prison, so I'm lying? Your logic really baffles me." Angela snorted without any changes on her face, though her back was already sheathed with cold sweat.

Felix stared at her and waited for her explanation.

"Felix, you have seen many scars on my body, right?" Angela pulled her skirt up a bit to show her thighs filled with crossed scars. Everyone in the room was shocked.

Felix used to see her scars in the light and thought these scars added to her beauty. But when he saw these scars so directly, he instantly turned his eyes away.

These scars were like twisted and intertwined snakes. One would feel disgusted when seeing these things.

Felix felt he must have suffered from some mental disease, because he even wanted to sleep with her.

"Hurry up and put your skirt down, it's disgusting!" Felix said impatiently, "What do the scars on your body have to do with Old Mr. Harvey sending you to jail? Make it simple, don't try to fool me!"

Angela put down her skirt under the gazes of disgust and horror, and then said, "You're all scared looking at them, not to mention me. It hurt me a lot when I was suffering all these things."

The others still remained silent.

Angela sighed lightly, "I got these scars in the prison. After I was released from the prison, I would have nightmares every night about those people bullying me in prison. My sleep quality and psychological state directly affect the fetal development. After the psychiatrist saw me, he said it should be better for me to watch the people who used to bully me get beaten up."

It was hard to judge the truth when truth and lies were mixed together.

Felix still looked at Angela with suspicions.

Cold sweat appeared on Angela's hands when she was stared at by him like this, but she still seemed calm.

She turned her head to look at the man who carried her in, "Sir, you saw three other strong men in the car when you got in, right?"

Felix followed her gaze to the man, with inquiry in his foxlike eyes.

"That's right." The man said cautiously, "And the men seemed to be experts."

Angela nodded and wiped the sweat from her hands with her clothes, "Actually, there were more than three of them. One of them left temporarily because of some physical problems. Old Mr. Harvey not only asked them to protect me, but also to help me teach those people who bullied me a lesson."

The man frowned at Angela, "But..." But if those people were protecting her, then why did they slap her in the face?

But Felix interrupted him with a grim look just when he said the word but, "Since when is it your turn to talk here?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Pearson." The man swallowed his suspicions. It was none of his business anyway. He should just watch quietly to avoid Felix’s scolding.

Angela was worried about the man asking her about the slap and she was thinking of excuses nervously. She was relieved to see the man interrupted by Felix.

Felix then looked at Angela again and said hesitantly, "Are you telling me the truth about all this?"

Without waiting for Angela to answer his question, he narrowed his foxlike eyes and said with his face filled with ruthlessness, "If I found out you lied to me..."

"How would I lie to you?" Angela grasped her dress tightly and said with her body tensed, "It only takes a pregnancy test to find whether I lied or not. If you find me lying, I will only be more miserable, right?"

Felix grunted, "You still have some self-awareness."

Angela was a little relieved.

"Since it only needs a pregnancy test," A sinister smile appeared on Felix's face, "Gandalf, go buy a box of pregnancy test kits and give Miss Chante a test. Otherwise, I always feel uneasy."

Angela felt uneasy again, and her back became tensed.

If Felix found out she wasn't pregnant and what she just said was a lie...

She swallowed her saliva and clenched her fists. Then she unclenched her fists, but clenched again. She couldn't be panic!

If she panicked now, Felix would find out her lie even without the test.

Angela pursed her lips and looked directly into Felix's eyes calmly.

"Okay, I'll be back soon." Gandalf answered in a thick voice and walked towards the door.

Angela glanced at Gandalf's back once and forced herself to withdraw her gaze to look at Felix calmly.

Felix kept a close eye on her and closely observed each of her moves, "Miss Chante, what do you think is a better way to punish a liar?"

"I'm not a liar, why should I consider the consequence?" Angela's heart jumped hard as if it was about to jump out of her chest, but she still maintained her confidence.

Gandalf had already walked to the door and held the door handle.

Angela's fingers trembled slightly, but it was so trivial that nobody would find it without careful observation.

She was not sure how far away this place was from the Pharmacy, but from Gandalf's purchase to getting the result, it was at most half a day. At that time, Felix would find out she was lying.

She opened her mouth slightly and took a few deep breaths.
