Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 386

“Whether he wakes up or not, you staying here won’t do anything. Ms. Lee said she and the others will help you cover work for a few days and wait for your return.”

The company’s shareholders and top executives were originally dissatisfied with assigning such a young man to be the president, but finding out that he and James teamed up against Jessica really gave them a surprise.

In the end, the Thompson family did not buy the 25% of the shares; instead, they borrowed some money to the Chante Group to buyback these shares on their own.

And now, they’ve become the creditors, not the shareholders, of the Chante Group.

The Chante siblings had 65% of the shares, which was enough to control the Group, so it was a good thing for the Chante Group.

With what’s happened to Lorenzo and Elva, the Group’s shareholders opinions were divided, so there was no steering the Group in a wise direction.

“One more day; if dad doesn’t wake up, then I’ll go.” Greyson said in a hoarse tone; couple with everything he’s had to deal with these couple of days, he didn’t look like someone who’s in his twenties at all.

Angela said nothing; she headed to room 1236, but was informed that Luna was already gone.

“When did she leave? And where’d she go?”

“She left just a moment before you arrived; she didn’t say to where.”

Angela thanked the nurse and called Luna on the corridor; she tried many times, but no one picked up. Rather, Ela called her instead.

“Well, girl, what do you say?” She sounded like she was in a good mood.

Angela tugged at her shirt and asked, “About what?”

“Well, your aunt broke an arm, and James is now in jail; aren’t these enough for you to reach a conclusion?” Ela said.

“!”

Apparently, these two incidences were all connected to her!

Angela tightly gripped her phone until her knuckles became white; her blood was boiling, and she felt like she was going to lose her mind.

“I suggest you to stop while you can; elders may not be around right now, but don’t think we’re easy to bully. The Harvey family and the Brown family are not easy to mess with.”

By saying this, she thought that Ela would feel some pressure, but instead, she was laughing out loud like she’d heard a funny joke.

“Oh, you kids are really just kids, way too naive. Angela, did you think I didn’t take all things into consideration first?”

Angela’s heart began to pound faster, though it wasn’t certain whether it was from anger or fear, “What do you mean? Are you… working together with Jessica?”

Jessica and Lawson Harvey were the only two who wanted to break up her and James. This wouldn’t be good for the Harvey family, so it was safe to remove Lawson from suspicion.

But the Smith family kicked Jessica out lately; even if she worked together with Ela, she didn’t have enough support!

“Don’t bother trying to guess who I’m working with. But, I can assure you that it’s not that Jessica. Sure, she’s got a bright mind given her age, she isn’t qualified enough to work with me.”

With Jessica out of the picture, Angela was now even more confused, “So who’s working with you to break up me and James? Was it you who worked with my aunt-in-law to frame James?”

“You want to know? Easy, just come find me. Alright, I’m off to do a facial, talk to you later, girl.”

She hung up the call before Angela could reply.

Angela wrinkled her forehead; she tried to call back, but there was no answer.

After a moment, she got a text message from Ela.

[Come find me once you’ve thought things through. You can wait for things to settle down between the Harvey and Brown families, but you’ll be disappointed.]

Angela’s face twisted together after she saw the message.

Around 8pm at night, Sean called.

Angela picked up at the first ring, “Sean!”

“This incident with James is quite tricky. There’s definitely someone helping out Ela from the shadows, so we can’t touch her. Also,” Sean sounded incredibly tired; he paused for a while, then continued, “Those evidence saying the Harvey Group has been conducting experiments on humans, they’re probably true.”

“!”

Sean was an ace lawyer; if he said something was “probably true”, it meant the same as “true”!

Human experimentations? Just what was going on?

Angela began to tremble and almost couldn’t hold onto her phone.

If the evidence were true, then someone was out to get the Harvey family; there was no telling if James could walk away this time!

“Hey, let me talk to Angela too! Give me the phone!”

A flurry of footsteps and Raya’s voice echoed from the other end of the phone.

“Angela, Large Iceberg has been taken away; since there’s nothing you can do, don’t worry so much right now, it’s not good for your baby!”

“Oh, and are you having a boy or a girl? No wait, they won’t let you check right. No worries, I’ve bought enough clothing and toys for either gender…”

Raya continued to babble on the phone, but Angela didn’t hear a thing; she was too focused on how to save James.

Over the phone, Sean said to Raya, “Miss Angela isn’t in the mood right now; stop fussing and get to the point.”

“It’s because she’s in a bad mood that I’m trying to help calm her mood! Geez, you don’t get it at all! Hmph!”

Raya complained, then said in a softer tone to Angela, “Um, Angela, I’ve got some bad news to tell you.”

“…OK.” Ever since her father was hit, Angela has not had any good news. The only thing different was the severity of the bad news.

Raya sounded depressed on the other end, “I also talked to my dad about what happened to Large Iceberg; I thought he’d be able to help. After all, Large Iceberg has a huge, scary temper, but something like conducting human experimentations seemed out of his league.”

Angela couldn’t tell if she was trying to compliment or complain about James, but she didn’t worry about that for now, “And then?”

Duran was a government official, so if something happened to a huge company like the Harvey Group, he’d sure know something.

“Well… My dad told me not to get mixed up in this business. He said the person who wants to mess with Large Iceberg is a really big, important person. Not even my dad would dare go against him. He wouldn’t even mention a name. Besides, it seems the Harvey Group really did conduct some illegal things.” Raya’s voice trailed off.

Angela didn’t hear a thing Raya said at the end.

Someone whom not even Duran would dare mention? Who could it be?

Angela hung up the phone; her hands were filled with sweat, and she felt too weak and unable to stand still.

She leaned against the wall to support herself. Her mind was blank right now. Then, not soon after, her phone rang again.
