Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 389

"It is unlikely that I will be able to come to your place now. You have arranged two men to guard my nephew and niece. If I go there, and they do something to my nephew and niece, how will I explain that to my brother and his wife?"

Angela struggled to suppress the anger inside her. At this point, the more agitated she became, the more likely she was to lose leverage on the current situation.

Given the current situation, she would only lose control of the situation.

After a while, Ela said, "If that's all you're worried about, that is very easy to solve your problem."

After saying this, she shouted to the person standing over there, "Erika, call them both and tell them to come back."

The one called Erika echoed her.

Ela said, "How about this? Little girl, can you come over now?"

"How do I know if you are not playing tricks on me?" Angela said.

Ela was in no hurry, "Now James is in jail. If I want to bargain with you, I can use him as leverage. Your nephew and niece are no longer of use to me, but I can understand your feelings. If you don't believe me, then just wait a minute. It won't take them too long to go downstairs."

After hearing what she said, it looked like she was really going to call the two people who were watching the twins and ask them to go back.

However, Angela didn't quite believe her. She felt that there was nothing wrong with being careful about everything.

The night was a bit cool, and Angela was afraid of the cold. Her hand with the phone was cold and reddened after a while.

Three or five minutes later, two people came out of the Chante family's house.

They walked up to Angela and bent down to her. Then they said respectfully, "Miss Lorenzo, we are the ones who take care of the twins. Now, will you come with us to see Ela, or will you go to see her by yourself?"

Angela could never go to see Ela alone at this late hour, then she shot a look at the bodyguards and told them to grab those two people.

The two bodyguards nodded.

Before they could do anything, Ela's voice rang out on the other end of the phone, "Since my people are asking you questions, why are you taking so long to answer them?" "Angela, you're not trying to blackmail me by arresting them, are you?"

"You are overthinking this." Angela did have this thought, but this feeling of having her thoughts figured out made her feel uncomfortable.

"Whether I am overthinking or not, you know better than I do. But I advise you not to do so. Otherwise, James will not have an easy life in prison." Ela said.

Angela frowned, "Since you can make James have a hard time in jail, can't I give your people a hard time?"

Ela looked like she had heard some kind of joke, "Even if they die, it has nothing to do with me. At most, I'll only give them some money as compensation."

"Let them go." Angela clutched the phone, turned her head, and gave the bodyguards orders.

It felt like she was being held in a confined space like this. Everywhere she looked, there were only walls and no way out.

She felt frustrated, frantic, but there was nothing she could do!

The bodyguards had to release the two.

"All right. I have also shown my sincerity. You can come to me now?" Ela asked, "Angela, you've already said no to me twice, so you can't refuse me again."

Angela had no way back, so she could only grit her teeth and accept her offer.

After she went back to the Chante family and had a few words with the servants, she asked her bodyguards to drive her and those two people to Ela's place.

The only thing she felt lucky for now was that Ela did not say she should go there alone.

Ela lived in a villa on the outskirts of town. She was just a former award-winning actress who was no longer acting, but her villa was more luxurious than the Chante family's villa.

When Angela entered the lobby, she saw Ela sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and elegantly drinking tea. A handsome middle-aged man was sitting beside her and massaging her arm.

"You're here." Ela put down her cup of tea and said with a smile, "Have a seat."

Angela looked calm and said, "No, I'm fine. It's very late. If you have something to talk to me about, then you can tell me directly. I'll go back right after you talked to me."

She looked around calmly. Except for a servant, there was no one else here.

However, she didn't know whether there was no one else here or some people were secretly guarding the villa.

After hearing what she said, Ela raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are you so arrogant now because of them?"

She pointed her finger with red nails at the bodyguards.

Before Angela could reply to her, she continued, "What are you still doing here? Do what you got to do. When we finish our conversation, you will drive her back home."

Angela's pupils suddenly narrowed. 'What does she mean by this?'

She glanced at the bodyguards one by one. Then she saw them bend over and go out without looking around.

'Aren't all these bodyguards hired by James for her?'

'How come all these people are Ela's people?'

"Are you wondering why they are following my orders?" Ela leaned back on the sofa and looked at her lazily.

This was the second time Angela had her thoughts figured out, so her face turned pale, and her hands were sweaty.

She felt powerless again.

"There is no point in telling you about it. And I won't say it again." Ela made a gesture to ask her to sit down, "Can you sit down and talk to me now?"

Since things had come to this point, she could only take one step at a time.

Angela walked to the sofa opposite Ela and sat down. In fact, she didn't really sit down and just sat on the edge of the couch.

"You don't have to be so nervous. Drink it." Ela shot a look at the maid. Then the maid immediately went to them and poured Angela a cup of tea.

The tea looked crystal clear and had the fragrance of grass and wood. And she knew it was good tea as soon as she saw it.

'But who knows if Ela put anything in it?'

Angela just looked at the cup of tea and averted her gaze, "You went to a lot of trouble to set up such a trap and get me here, so you can just tell me what you want to do."

Since she is not as scheming as Ela, she might as well talk to her directly.

"I just like you being straightforward." Ela smiled, "You are not like that daughter of the Smith family, who is a schemer. And I have to read between the lines."

Angela was not in the mood to play along with her, so she asked Ela directly, "Are you doing this to separate James and me? But I can't think of any benefit to you from our separation."

Ela didn't say anything this time. Instead, she patted Noah's hand and gestured for him to answer her question.

"Ela is James' grandmother. And she's doing what's best for him, so why would she want to get anything out of it?" Noah said, "You guys are businessmen, so you just think too much about the benefits. No matter what others do, you think they do it for the benefits."

Ela sighed, "When I talk to my son and James, they always think I'm doing it to get something, just like you. I live a lavish lifestyle, and I have a high social status, so what else can I get from them?"

Angela hadn't heard James speak about Ela. However, she couldn't forget when James was fifteen years old, he was kidnapped and blackmailed by his grandmother.

Although Ela was eventually proven innocent, and the netizens believed it was a misunderstanding, she heard the truth from her parents. Instead, it was an attempted kidnapping!

Yet, Ela now said that she did it for her and James' benefits. Did Ela really take her for a fool to coax her?
