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?”
