Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 329

Following the gaze of James, Sutton saw that Gabriela was smiling at a man next to her with her chest close to his. Sutton turned displeased immediately.

"See you next time," said Sutton in a hurry and went towards Gabriela aggressively with a glass of champagne.

Even though there were a lot of beauties here, Gabriela was doubtlessly the most charming as almost all the people here, regardless of men or women, would be attracted by Gabriela the moment they saw her.

"Sutton and Gabriela are..." said Angela.

"Sugar daddy and his mistress," said James as he took a sip of the champagne, "and someone thinks that he masters everything without knowing that he has lost his heart."

As Sutton went over and said something to the man, he dragged Gabriela away violently.

Gabriela struggled to push Sutton away, which made him dissatisfied, and he directly carried her on the shoulder and went away.

"James, Angela, what a coincidence!" said Jessica as she came up to them with a smile. However, she was a little lame when walking, which broke her sense of beauty.

Holding the arm of James and leaning her whole body on his, Angela said, "Yes. But I remember you still sat on the wheelchair when I saw you one day ago."

"The doctor has said that my leg is almost healed and suggested me to try to walk," said Jessica, who still looked haggard and worn even with exquisite makeup.

Biting her lips, Angela said, "Your leg has been healed so fast. When my leg was just healed, I had to hold the wall when walking. It seems that your leg wasn't hurt that badly."

"Actually, my leg has been healed so fast because I have been rehabilitating," sighed Jessica, "and unlike you, who can still dance after recovery."

Ignoring what Jessica said in the end, Angela said with a surprise, "So why did you still sit on the wheelchair as your leg had been healed? Did you want everybody to sympathize you?"

With a smile on his face, James didn't interrupt them and just played with the fingers of Angela with his head lowered. When Angela looked to him, he was just putting her fingers in his mouth.

"There are bacteria on my hand. It's dirty," pouted Angela with a blush.

Looking at Angela indulgently, James gently scraped her on the nose and said, "It doesn't matter. None of the site of your body is dirty to me."

He stressed the word 'site'.

With some blushing scenes flashing in her mind, her face was burning. This time Angela felt shy for real.

With the smile froze on her face, Jessica answered with a pretending calmness, "I didn't want others to sympathize me...I was just...as you have known me for so many years, you know that I'm a perfectionist. I didn't want to limp in front of others."

Hearing that, Angela became listless immediately and said, "No, I don't know, or I wouldn't have been framed by you and gone to jail.

Jessica wanted to say something, but then Angela interrupted, "What's more, you don't seem to be an absolute perfectionist."

Pointing at the leg of Jessica, Angela continued, "You have said that you don't want to limp in front of others, but you are limping right now."

Biting her lips, Jessica said with watery eyes, "I've realized my mistakes. Why do you still humiliate me?"

"But...you come to me on your own initiative," said Angela with an innocent look on her face.

The implication was that Jessica came to let Angela humiliate her on her own initiative.

With a forced smile, Jessica had no idea how to hit back at what Angela said as Angela had completely different performances in the recently few times.

What happened recently had completely overwhelmed Jessica.

"Jessica, if there's nothing important, we have to go first," said James as he entwined his fingers with Angela's, "as unlike you, we are quite busy."

With those words, he left with Angela.

Looking back at the angry face of Jessica, Angela smiled, "You said that she's an idler, didn't you?"

"Isn't she?" said James as he looked down at Angela, "Both the Smith family and the Lewis family have abandoned her and no one dares to help her as they know that my grandpa Lawson is taking revenge on her."

Hearing that, Angela was not quite happy.

'Lawson is too volatile. This time he takes revenge on Jessica and he may take revenge on me next time...I'm still too weak,' thought Angela.

James took Angela to see some big shots in the circles of business and politics to broaden her contacts.

However, when they went to see Raya's father Duran, who was the Secretary of the Municipal Political Committee, they encountered Danis.

This time Danis didn't wear a light-colored suit as usual. Instead, he wore a black suit like most of the people here and looked stabler, thinner and more energetic than before.

His fiancee Cathleen Delia was holding his arm. When she saw Angela, the smile on her face disappeared.

Angela was standing face to face with Danis. Seeing that Danis wanted to say something, Angela nodded at him and went to the side of Duran with James.

"Are you still thinking about her?" asked Cathleen sarcastically as she saw Danis staring at the back of Angela.

Danis looked away and said, "I'm just looking at the Secretory."

But Danis was disappointed in his mind.

'In such an occasion, most women are holding the arms of their male partners as it looks formal. However, Angela is entwining her fingers with James'...they must be in good relationship as details won't lie,' thought Danis.

Twitching her mouth, Cathleen said with unbelief, "I don't mind how you think and who you'll be with as long as you don't make the Delia family and me humiliated in front of others."

Having few experience of dealing with politicians, Angela had no idea what to say after the greeting.

Fortunately, Raya always spoke well of Angela in front of Duran. So Duran didn't ignore her while talking with James.

"Danis, you are here too?" greeted Duran brightly as he saw Danis came to him.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Secretary. This is my fiancee Cathleen Delia," said Danis with a smile.

As Danis saw the tightly linked fingers of Angela and James from the corner of his eye, an imperceptible pain flashed across his amber eyes.

"I've heard about you from Danis before, Miss Delia. You are so well-matched," said Duran as he shook hands with Cathleen with a smile.

Cathleen was surprised and delighted that Danis had mentioned her in front of Duran. She greeted Duran too and made a few modest remarks.

"Danis, you should have known Mr. Harvey," said Duran as he pointed at Angela, "and let me introduce this lady, she is..."

Before Duran could finish his words, Danis interrupted, "I know Angela too as I have been pursuing her."
