Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

Angela glanced at James beside her, “There has been too much negative news about the Chante family in the past two days. I didn’t dare to go out, so I was at home. James went to work.”

“Yeah.” Luna said, “Just come home. I need to talk to you about something.”

Angela clutched her phone, “Can’t you say it over the phone?”

“It’s not convenient to talk on the phone. You’d better come home.” Luna said.

Angela was worried that her further excuses would arouse her suspicions, so she agreed and hung up the phone.

“I don’t know what Luna’s purpose is yet.” James clasped his hands around her shoulders and turned her so she was looking at him. “I don’t recommend you be alone with her.”

Angela also knew why he was worried, but, “It’s because I don’t know what she wants to do that I have to go.”

“I’ll look into this matter. You don’t have to take such a risk.” James said.

He never did anything he wasn’t sure of, and the fact that he was in love with Angela was an exception.

But now that Luna’s purpose was unknown. There was no way he was going to let Angela take the risk.

Angela broke his hand and said slowly, “James, I don’t want to live under your shelter all the time.”

Her eyes were firm. James knew she would not change her mind, so he took a step back, “Every fifteen minutes, you will send me a message. If I don’t get a message, I’ll go in immediately.”

Angela was about to say something else when James said first, “That’s my bottom line.”

…

James drove Angela to the Chante family, but she got off the car about two kilometers from the Chante family because she was worried Luna would get suspicious.

“Luna won’t do anything to me at my house. James, you don’t have to follow me.” Angela repeatedly told James not to go over there, and then walked towards the Chante family with a heavy heart.

When she reached the door, Luna was already waiting for her.

“Why did you walk over here? Aren’t you cold?” Luna asked casually as she looked behind her.

Angela smiled, “I took a taxi to come here. I thought I hadn’t been around for a while after two years in prison, so I got off early.”

She didn’t know if it was because she was suspicious, but she always felt that Luna had an ulterior motive for asking this.

Luna nodded, took her hand, and walked inside, “I heard your brother say that you are most afraid of the cold. After walking outside for so long, you’re freezing, right? Hurry inside and have a cup of hot tea.”

Angela walked beside her with her head down and mixed feelings in her heart.

Her brother was kind to her but nowhere near as considerate as Luna. She had long thought of Luna as her family. But the truth was that Luna might be setting her up!

“Angela, why do you look so pale? Do you have something on your mind?” Luna asked suddenly when they reached the living room.

Angela’s body stiffened, and she handed her coat to the maid, “I’m thinking about James. I’ve been thinking about it for so long, but I can’t find a reason for him to harm my mom. Luna, do you think there’s some kind of misunderstanding?”

Angela looked at Luna as she said this, not letting go of every change in her expression.

Luna’s eyes flickered and avoided her gaze.

Angela’s heart sank. So Luna really had ulterior motives!

“It is unlikely that there is a misunderstanding.” Luna sighed, “I’m looking for you to come over today to talk about this matter.”

Angela sat on the sofa, clutched the cup in her hand, and tried to suppress the wild anger that surged in her heart after the betrayal.

“All those chat records on Mom’s phone were deleted and were remotely manipulated by a hacker. I spent a lot of money to hire a person to check this hacker and finally found out his identity. Do you know who it is?” Luna asked.

Angela frowned and asked, “Who?”

“A senior programmer from the Harvey Group. He said Mr. James told him to do it.” Luna looked at her with concern and embarrassment, “Angela, even if you don’t want to admit it, there’s no denying that Mr. James did do this.”

The cup in Angela’s hand fell to the ground and cracked into several pieces.

The scene finally did happen.

She framed James!

Angela clutched the corner of her coat and felt as if she had stepped into quicksand in a trance, with countless sands blocking her nose and mouth so that she could not breathe.

If she hadn’t just said that, she could still deceive herself and say that Luna was also deceived by someone.

But Luna had just told James that she believed him, and then she told her that her mother was killed by James … She just couldn’t deceive herself if she wanted to!

“Angela, how are you?” Luna walked over to her and held her worriedly, “You’re pregnant now. You can’t get too excited.”

Angela shook off her hand, and her throat tightened, “I’m fine.”

She was always reluctant to believe the truth. She was holding on to the same last glimmer of hope as when she asked James, “Luna, do you think there could be some kind of misunderstanding?”

“I also want to believe there is a misunderstanding, but the facts are right in front of us. We have to believe it!” Luna said, “Angela, now it’s confirmed that Mr. James did it. You should stop having any unrealistic fantasies.”

Yes! She was sure Luna had lied. She shouldn’t have any unrealistic fantasies about her!

Scenes of Luna’s kindness to her flashed through Angela’s mind. Her nose twitched and she couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.

“Just cry out. You’ll feel better after crying out.” Luna handed Angela a few tissues, “Although I don’t know why Mr. James did it, this thing is undoubtedly done by him. What are you going to do? Are you still going to stay with him?”

Angela took the tissues and wiped the tears from her face, “But I already have his child. And you know he’s so dominant that I can’t even leave.”

Hearing this, Luna said almost impatiently, “It’s okay. As long as you want to leave, I’ll definitely find a way to send you away!”

“You seem to want me to separate from him?” Angela’s throat was dry and she wanted to drink some water to moisten her throat. But her hands were shivering so much that she couldn’t even lift the teapot.

Luna’s face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly lowered her head, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Angela.

“That’s for sure. If you knew that Mr. James had something to do with Mom’s death and you were still with him, with Dad and your brother’s temperament, they would definitely throw you out of the Chante family. I don’t want to see that scene more than anyone else.”

Angela hung her head for a long time before she said hoarsely, “I’ll think about it.”

She had never expected Luna to set her up. Her heart was in a mess and she didn’t know what to do later!

Luna was anxious for a moment but didn’t rush her, “Then think about it. But there is not much time left for you. In a week’s time at the latest, I’ll have to tell Dad and Greyson about this.”

Angela answered in a daze and reached for the teapot, but accidentally touched the pot and burned her hand.

“Why are you so careless?” Luna frowned and ran upstairs to get a burn ointment and carefully applied it to her injury.
