Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 385

Angela’s shoulders collapsed and her head was full of cold sweat.

Ela had just called her and told her inexplicable things before James was taken away… Yet, Angela didn’t even believe that this matter had nothing to do with Ela!

“Miss Angela doesn’t have to worry too much! The Harvey family is not trifled with so easily and Mr. James will be out soon.” Howard Lee advised.

He talked about it again and again afterwards but Angela didn’t listen to anything and she just nodded her head subconsciously.

Things were definitely not that simple for this time!

As if to verify Angela’s thought, her mobile phone suddenly rang and it was Sean calling.

“Miss Angela?”

“Yes.”

“I’m Sean and I can’t get through to James, yet, I can’t even leave at the moment. Please help me go to the company and tell him if there is any problem with the account books. If he could handle it, please do so!”

Angela clutched her phone, “James was taken away by a SWAT team ten minutes ago.”

There was a moment of silence on the other side and Angle didn’t know what he was thinking.

“Mr. Sean, do you know what is going on since you ask me to remind James?” The uneasiness in Angela’s heart grew and it almost crushed her down.

Sean hummed with a serious tone, “I am not very clear on the specifics but what I’ve heard so far is that there’s a problem in the Harvey Group’s account book which is said to have been used for human testing!”

“Impossible! James couldn’t possibly do something that goes against human decency!” Angela didn’t know exactly what had happened but she believed that James wouldn’t do such a thing.

Howard Lee, who was beside her, looked suspicious, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end, he held back and waited patiently.

Sean said, “Miss Angela, you should be clear with two points at the moment: He is not the only one in the Harvey Group, it could also be someone else, like Lawson Harvey, who misappropriated the money to conduct human experiments. In addition, James is the legal person of the company, so he needs to hold the responsibility for the crime.”

“Second, even if James and everyone in the Harvey Group have nothing to do with any human experimentation, but as far as I know, the available evidence is against the Harvey Group.”

Angela was annoyed, yet, she had to restrain herself from throwing her temper at Sean as this matter had nothing to do with him after all.

“So does Mr. Sean have any solutions now?”

“It’s obvious that someone is targeting the Harvey Group, but there are so many rival companies that are conglomerates as well as the Harvey family’s enemies, so I haven’t sorted anything out yet. If we knew who the person is, maybe it would be a little better to deal with!”

Angela took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions.

She then spoke into the microphone and lowered her voice as much as she could, “Ela, who is James’s grandmother.”

“What you mean is…”

Angela didn’t say much and she just said vaguely, “If you believe me, you may start checking on her.”

She was not sure what was going on between Ela and her sister-in-law yet, so it was better not to say much so that things didn’t become more complicated.

“Alright, I’ll inform you first if there’s any updates.” Sean hurriedly hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Howard Lee, who was at the side, only asked, “Miss Angela, was it Mr. Sean who just called? Does he know something?”

Angela shook her head, “It’s the same as what you know.”

Her heart was in a mess when she just found out that what her sister-in-law had done might be related to Ela and James had another incident that happened this time…

Howard Lee comforted her with a few words before leaving in a hurry as he had to discuss the solution with the other senior management of the company hurriedly.

Angela thought about it and prepared to give Denise Brown a call.

She and her brother had some contact with those rich and famous sons and they didn’t have much of a relationship with those elders. Yet, Denise was more well-connected than she was since the Brown family was a military family with a great deal of military rewards, so she would be able to talk to her about such matters.

When Denise received the call, she sighed because of this matter.

“I am afraid that you would be worried if you found it out so I dare not to tell you, yet, you still know it in the end. Don’t worry about this, the Harvey family and the Brown family will surely do something. James will be out soon as long as he hasn’t done something like this.”

It seemed like a small matter upon listening to Denise’s tone and Angela’s heart was finally not so panicked.

She then spoke to Denise for a few more words before asking politely, “Mrs. Brown, are you…ok recently?”

“Are you trying to ask about my husband but you are too embarrassed to ask directly?”

Angela was embarrassed and didn’t know what to say.

Denise didn’t suffer much upon talking about this matter and there was a light tone in her voice, “It is not the first time I have bumped into him cheating on me, it’s just that he has changed the object of his affair this time.”

“Probably he felt so lucky to sleep with the goddess of his heart as my husband didn’t take his medication and had sex with a girl five times. Angela, can you imagine how remarkable it is for a man at his fifty doing such a thing?”

She even laughed twice as she said this but it made those who listened desolated.

Angela didn’t say anything, she just felt that the gentry was too dirty and those who suffered were the ones who stuck to their bottom line.

“Well! How could I talk this to a young lady? I’m fine, don’t worry about me!’ Denise laughed twice, “I used to be disgusted with that bitch and when I got married, I even argued with him, yet, I was told that I was too narrow-minded. It is now that bitch has disgusted them instead.”

She didn’t complain a word but Angela’s heart was uncomfortable upon hearing this, yet, she could only comfort her helplessly, “Good and bad deeds will have their consequences accordingly.”

“Don’t believe things like this as God is inattentive!”

Denise advised again by telling Angela not to worry about anything else but to take good care of her health before hanging up the phone amidst a quarrel.

It was so chaotic over the Harvey family’s side that Angela didn’t hear clearly what they were arguing about, yet, she could only hear Adeline, Jason and Lawson Harvey’s voices with a few other strangers arguing fiercely.

She was worried that Ela might do something behind so she dared not to stay outside any longer by asking her bodyguard to drive her back to the hospital.

Greyson had already woken up and was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed while dazing. When he saw her coming in, he glanced at her with wide eyes before resuming staring blankly at Lorenzo who was lying on the hospital bed.

Even if he hadn’t said anything, Angela knew that the incidents that happened recently almost crashed him down.

Angela had never seen him like this before and her heart was twisted into a tangled mess like the clothes in a washing machine.

She guessed that her sister-in-law was probably having some difficulties but she dared not to tell him explicitly for fear that he would go through another breakdown if it wouldn’t be the case.

“Dad will wake up.” Angela gave him a light pat on his shoulder.

Greyson turned his head and looked at her with a shocked expression, “Do you believe yourself upon saying this?”

Angela didn’t believe it as two days had passed now and the possibility of her dad waking up was very low, he was probably becoming a vegetative.
