Jessica's eyes flashed as she put away her phone and said,
"I don't know what Brother James meant when you said that I started preparing long ago, this recording was just something I happened to record when Angela hit me with her car."
She looked up at him and said softly.
"The police are already looking into the accident, and so far they said it is an accident.
But if I give them this recording, the nature of the crash will be attempted murder.
Brother James knows what that means, right?"
It hurt so badly that she finished the paragraph, covering her mouth and coughing heavily a few times, her pretty face becoming paler.
But James didn't feel any heartbroken, there was only undisguised anger, his eyes were half narrowed, his hawk-like gaze seemed to tear her apart, "You threatened me?"
"Just a matter of fact, how could it be a threat to you?"
Jessica had an innocent face, only with bitterness mixed in the bottom of her eyes, "Shouldn't you be happy that because Angela did something wrong to you so let her spend the rest of her life in prison?"
James clenched his fists tightly and plucked at her with cold eyes, anger burning at the bottom of his eyes.
"Brother James, Angela has been following you for so many years, yet she was dating with my brother.
I feel both sorry for you and pathetic for my brother.
And now that Angela has done such a thing, sending her to prison is the punishment she deserves."
Jessica said.
The smell of disinfect water and medicine mixed together, choked James with irritation, he frowned tightly and said in a cold voice.
"I don't need you to interfere with what's between me and Angela, so delete that recording."
Jessica had been doing a double take. If James agreed to send Angela to prison, it would prove that he didn't care about Angela, or if he had some feelings for Angela, but that feeling would had been taken away by Angela's cheating, so it couldn't be better for her.
But now it seemed that he had deeper feelings for Angela than she thought, so she could just have to follow another plan.
She suppressed the loss in her heart and shook her head at James, "I'm sorry. brother James. I can't delete this recording; if I do, there won't be any evidence for me to prove that Angela is determined to kill me."
James loosened his clenched fist, sat down in his chair, and stood up again, gritting his teeth as he said.
"You think the police won't find out about the tampering you did?"
"First, I've never done any tampering.
Secondly, if you still don't believe me, you can always get a few more cops to check it out."
Jessica bit her lip with a bitter smile.
James looked straight at her for a moment, twisted around, and walked away.
But just as he took a step out, he was stopped by Jessica shouting, "Can you listen to me for a few more words?"
"...... Just say."
James didn't turn around, but was just silent for a moment before clenching his fist and squeezing a word out of his teeth.
Jessica had grown up with a deep mind and a rigorous approach, and now that she had let him get a few more cops to investigate, she should just be confident that they wouldn't be able to find anything out.
In fact, he could have just left the matter alone, and since Angela had done something wrong to him, these could be taken as a punishment for her.
But as soon as he thought that she would spend the ...... rest of her life in prison, he could not say exactly what he thought. But he could not let Jessica prosecute Angela on the charge of attempted murder.
