Chapter 372 Maybe She’s Being Blackmailed
Could a person disguise herself all the time? Angela didn’t believe it. Luna’s kindness to her did not seem to be disguised!
Maybe Luna did it because she was being blackmailed!
Since Jessica was able to threaten James in the first place, it wasn’t impossible for her to threaten Luna!
Angela suddenly found the potential possibility that Luna didn’t betray her. She drew back her hand, “Luna, have you encountered any difficulties recently? If there’s something, you can say. We can figure out a solution together!”
“Yeah. I’m in a difficult situation.” Luna paused for a moment and sighed.
Angela’s eyes burst into light. Luna was really in a difficult situation!
She grabbed Luna’s hands tightly and spoke much faster than usual, “What is it? Luna, as long as you say it, I will definitely find a way to help you out!”
“Isn’t it just about you?” Luna’s hands were red from the grip, but she didn’t struggle, “Mr. James indirectly caused Mom’s suicide, but you don’t want to separate from him. I’m really afraid that Dad and Greyson will kick you out when they find out about this.”
The light in Angela’s eyes dissipated little by little, and the pain once again spread through every nerve in her body.
She could not find an excuse … What to do? She really couldn’t find any excuse!
“Angela, just cut the knot. The more you hesitate, the harder it will only be. Also …”
“I know!” Angela interrupted her and stood up with a pale face, “I will make a decision within a week. Luna, I’m going back first!”
After saying that, she carried her bag, went to the hanger and took off her coat, and walked quickly towards the door.
Luna called after her several times, but she pretended not to hear.
She really didn’t know how to face Luna anymore!
Bang!
Angela walked with her head down and accidentally bumped into a person’s arms as she went out. She tilted her head up and met James’ concerned gaze. All her disguises crumbled in front of him.
“Don’t cry.” James held her face in his hands. Each of her tears was like a needle in his heart.
They agreed to send messages once every fifteen minutes. He didn’t get the message and was worried that something had happened to her, so he ignored her instructions and came over.
He met her right as she was coming out.
Angela clutched his lapel with both hands and said with unusual difficulty, “I really don’t know why did she do this …”
James hugged her and gently patted her back.
He knew that to her, Luna was just as much a family member as her brother. When she suddenly encountered such a thing, it was reasonable for her to find it difficult to accept.
Luna came out just in time to see the two hugging each other.
She frowned slightly and quickly calmed down, “Mr. James, when did you arrive? I didn’t even know. Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Without waiting for James to answer, an engine sounded, followed by an ear-splitting braking sound.
The white sports car was parked two meters away from James. Greyson jumped out of the car and said with surprise, “I had something to tell you and here you are! You have come at the right time!”
He walked over and tapped James on the shoulder, then noticed that Angela was also there.
“Honey, you go and ask the maids to prepare more food. James and Angela are here for lunch today!” Greyson shouted at Luna.
Luna paused for a moment and did not answer immediately.
“I’m not going to bother you. I’ll take Angela out to eat.” James nodded slightly at Greyson and walked towards the Bentley with Angela in his arms.
She was still too excited to stay here right now.
“Hey, don’t you go! Isn’t it normal for you guys to have a meal at home? What’s bothering us?” Greyson ran over to the Bentley and knocked hard on the car window, “I still have something to tell you. Hey, I’m giving you a chance to get close to me, don’t you not cherish …”
Before he could finish his sentence, the car had already started.
Greyson hurriedly jumped aside, “Crap! You’ve gone too far.”
No one paid any attention to him.
Luna looked at the departing car with mixed feelings.
Inside the car, Angela turned her head and looked back a few times. Her brother and Luna were in the back watching the car leave, just like before.
But some things were not the same as before after all.
“Are you better?” James titled his head to look at her and stroked her head.
Angela bowed her head, looking incredibly tired, “Luna said you had someone delete the chat log and told me to leave you.”
She had a lot on her mind, “I don’t know what to do anymore.”
Luna desperately blamed James for her mother’s death. She wasn’t even sure now if the net friend who was talking to her mom was arranged by Luna.
If it was, what about her brother?
“If you don’t know what to do, don’t think about it yet.” James intentionally distracted her, “Your brother just said he had something to tell me. Do you know what it is?”
Angela shook her head.
Her mind was totally a mess, and she just didn’t even listen to what her brother was actually saying.
“Jessica has convinced the Smith family to buy the shares in Director Lau’s hand.” When he mentioned Jessica, James’ eyes were slightly cold, “Twenty-five percent share of the Chante Group is not a small amount. They didn’t have that much cash and ended up using a portion of their fixed assets as collateral to borrow nearly two billion from the bank.”
It had only been a few days since James proposed the plan. Angela was surprised, “They’ve already signed?”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“The same day you and your brother inherited the shares of the estate,” James said.
Angela was still distressed because of Luna’s matter. But when she heard the news, she cheered up, “So when do you think they will offer the twenty-five percent share?”
“After taking away the good projects that the Chante Group just signed.” James said, “It won’t take long. A week or so.”
The Smith family wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Chante Group had changed its majority shareholder several times to cause panic among the shareholders, so that they could take the opportunity to ruin the Chante Group, so they would not hold these shares for a long time.
When the Smith Group sold these shares, it would be time for them to close the net!
Angela knew that James would not let the Chante Group lose out, but she still couldn’t understand something, “They took away the Chante Group’s project. Isn’t that bad for us?”
“The capital chain can’t keep up, so they will have to take out what they got sooner or later, and they will have to pay a large number of liquidated damages,” James explained a little more in detail.
But Angela spent too short a time in the business world to understand it very well. She only knew that the Smith family had fallen into a serial trap this time, and they had to pay a price first to get out of it.
“It’s such a good thing to celebrate. How about we go to that Western restaurant you like so much for dinner?” James looked at her in the rearview mirror and felt a bit heartbroken for her.
Angela agreed, knowing he was also trying to ease her mind. When she got out of the car, she put on a hat, sunglasses, and mask to avoid being recognized.
This Western restaurant was very upscale, and the people who came here were basically rich or noble.
Angela didn’t have to worry about being recognized here, so she took off her hat and everything after sitting down. When someone recognized her, they just glanced at her curiously.
The waiter came over and handed the menus to them.
Angela was about to order when she suddenly felt that someone kept looking at her. She put down the menu and looked back. Everyone was eating, and no one was looking at her at all, as if it was just her illusion.
