One thing after another, James were overwhelmed, and he interrupted her with an unusual annoyance, "Is there something else you're calling about?"
Silence.
Only after a long time did Denise say.
"Jessica was injured because of you after all, she's about the same age as you, and she's fine in every way.
Your grandfather said that you should be engaged to Jessica so that the Harvey family would not fall into disrepute."
"I'll take care of this myself, you tell Grandpa not to worry about it."
After James finished speaking, he hung up directly with a gloomy face.

Angela also saw the message from Julia, the corner of her mouth pulled out a sneer and tossed her phone aside, not paying too much attention to the new WeChat number that Gabriela had pulled in.
With thousands of employees at the Dream Club, some leaving and some coming, and people coming in and out of the work group every day, it was really not surprising that a new person was added in.
Angela drew the curtains, took off her white shirt and dress, and changed into her own clothes.
Julia had been watching her, and naturally saw the dense hickeys on her body, "Angela, you ...... have these on you ...... so did you succeed or not?"
"Are you asking if I succeeded in seducing him, or if I succeeded in leaving the clubhouse?"
Angela walked to the window, pulled open the curtains, the sunlight spilled in that moment, the body warmed, but the heart was still cold.
When Julia saw her face, she knew she shouldn't ask more questions, but she really couldn't control her curiosity, "Is it different?"
"It doesn't matter if my seducing him works or not, just gets a picture or video of us being intimate to blackmail him and I'll be out of here."
Angela did not know why she had to say this to Julia whose heart was not pure, perhaps ...... because she was too lonely.
Julia moved closer to her, her voice lowered, "Did you get that photo or video?"
Angela turned around, and gave her a look without speaking.
She was standing against the light and couldn't see her expression, but Julia felt the depression around her, "Maybe there's another way, so don't be too disappointed."
With her head bowed, Angela approached her a little, reaching her side before saying in a slightly muffled voice.
"Well, after another ten or twenty years have passed, maybe Mr. James and Miss Jessica won't bother with me about these old matters."
Julia couldn't tell if Angela really thought so or said it on purpose, she smiled sarcastically and said guiltily and slightly ingratiatingly.
"Let's think about it again, maybe we can come up with something good."
"Maybe."
Angela gave a perfunctory response and sat down on the bed to stare.
Previously, she was still expecting to get a few photos or an intimate video to blackmail James, but now that the plan had failed, the day had suddenly run out of hope.
Should she stay in the Dream Club like this day after day, living in the shadow of James and Jessica?
She didn't want to.
But there was no way for her to leave, not even to die.
If she died, the cost would be count on the Chante Family by James, and she could care less about Mom and Dad.
But her brother and sister-in-law had helped her a lot, both explicitly and implicitly, and she did not want to harm them.
Toot--
Toot--
Angela and Julia's phones vibrated one after another, the former remained in a dazed position, motionless, while the latter picked up her phone and looked at it.
