Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 357

Angela felt the warmth of his lap and shifted uneasily. “Jessica pretends to be innocent in front of Danis.”

“Are you speaking for him?” James straightened himself and stretched out his hand to hold her face then he looked straight at her.

Seeing him being unhappy, Angela smiled and replied, “I’ve just told you the truth. I didn’t speak for Danis.”

James said coldly, “You don’t have to try to get his support. Even if he stands beside Jessica, I’ll never let you endure grievance.”

Hearing his words, Angela paused and somehow her heart ached.

James seemed to care much about her. How could he get involved in the death of her mother?”

“What are you thinking about?” James pinched her chin and looked into her eyes.

Angela hesitated for a while. Then she put her arms around his neck and said, “James, I...”

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Greyson rushed into the ward.

Greyson intended to speak to Angela. However, when he saw her sitting on James’ lap and embracing his neck, he froze and his mind went blank.

Seeing Greyson’s expression, Angela realized that she was still sitting on James’ lap. She instantly got up from his legs.

But James held her waist with both hands and dragged her into his arms. He asked, “Greyson, do you have anything urgent?”

“What are you doing? Don’t touch my sister. Why are you shameless?” Greyson had been looking after his little sister for so many years, but now she was taken by another man. Greyson felt very sad.

James stroked the hair of Angela and said, “Greyson, you are interesting. Angela has my baby now. She will be my wife soon. Why couldn’t I touch her?”

“Did Angela marry you? She hasn’t married you. You can’t touch her now.”

“She will marry me sooner or later. It doesn’t matter that I touch her.”

The two men were so childish that they quarreled for a long time. T

If Angela didn’t interrupt them, they would continue to argue with each other. Angela cleared her throat and said, “Greyson, what’s the matter?”

“Oh!” Greyson scratched his head and answered, “Dad has just been sent into the operating room to have bypass surgery. The board of directors now make trouble for us.”

Angela frowned and asked, “What do they want to do?”

“The directors said the group will be destroyed by our Chante family. They want to elect a new chairman. Otherwise, they will sell their shares.”

The Chante Group had been in a great crisis eight years ago. To overcome the crisis, Lorenzo decided to issue stocks to raise capital.

His decision helped the Chante Group come through the crisis, but it also had obvious shortcomings.

The shares of the Chante family were diluted. They lost the holding position on the board of directors.

Lorenzo held 35% of the shares, the rest of the directors held 40%, and retail investors held 5%.

Those shareholders didn’t know that the remaining 20% of shares were held by Elva, so they thought that they had more shares than the Chante family.

Therefore, when the Chante family got into trouble, the shareholders united and made trouble for them. They wanted to get interests as much as possible.

“When will mom’s shares be transferred to us?” Asked Angela.

Greyson didn’t remember the exact time, so he took out his phone and looked through the chats with his lawyer. Then he replied, “2:30 pm in tomorrow.”

After that, he suddenly remembered something and said, “We have 55% of shares now. we don’t need to be afraid of those shareholders?”

“You’re right. Don’t pay attention to them now, just let them go,” said Angela.

Greyson’s face changed and said, “They make trouble for us and our family is in the scandal. The share price of our group will fall. At that time, the investors will sell off stock.”

“If someone who is dissatisfied with our Chante family, or a rival company of the Chante Group, takes the opportunity to buy these shares, they will influence the future development of the Chante Group, which is a bad thing for us.”

As Greyson said, his face looked terrible.

Angela had just entered the Chante Group. She didn’t think much of it. When she heard what Greyson said, she realized the situation was against them.

Seeing Angela’s uneasiness, James said, “Greyson, don’t worry. I can take over those shares.”

Greyson glared at him and said, “Even if you are good to Angela, but it doesn’t mean that your grandfather and other members in your family will treat her as good as you do.”

“Lawson doesn’t like you. It won’t be surprising that he won’t let you work in the Harvey group nor give you any shares. At that time, you leave the Harvey Group and it still has the shares of our Chante Group. It will do harm to our company.”

James glanced at him and took back his eyes. “You are smart this time.”

Greyson was not good at words compared with James. He flushed with anger and said to Angela, “Angela, you don’t need to deal with this matter this time. I’ll come to Alonso of the Linying Group.”

Before Angele could answer him, Greyson rushed out of the ward.

Looking at the door, Angela was worried.

Linying Group belonged to the Thompson family. They worked mainly in Europe, so Angel knew little about them.

Sutton was the only member of the Thompson family that she had ever met.

Sutton was the youngest generation of the Thompson family, but he was elusive and deep. It was obvious that his grandfather must be a man that was hard to deal with. Angela was afraid that Greyson would be tricked by Alonso.

“Alonso is more famous than my grandfather. Lawson is famous for his toughness. He has served in the army for a period of time. He believes in the power and completely adopts militarized management after taking over the company.”

“But Alonso is different from him. He is famous for his benevolence and righteousness. Greyson has saved his life. He won’t harm Greyson.”

Greyson was lucky that he had saved Alonso, the business tycoon.

Hearing what James said to her, Angela felt relieved.

“What did you want to say before Greyson came here?” James asked.

Angela blinked and wanted to say nothing to him. However, she finally asked, “James, do you think that it means that someone doesn’t kill a person if he kills him by another’s hand?”

She remembered that he had discussed with Sutton at the banquet to postpone the release of the new drug for lung cancer.

In their mind, the life of Lawson was just a business.

James even didn’t take his own grandfather’s life seriously. It might mean that he wouldn’t pay attention to the life of others, for example, her mother.

“What do you mean that kill a person by suing another’s hand?” James looked at her and observed her expression.

Angela clenched her clothes and felt her palms sweat. “You have discussed with Sutton to postpone the release of the new drug for lung cancer. Does it mean you kill others by using another’s hand?”
