Angela had long been used to such stares, she could never match Jessica in her scheming mind, she suddenly spat out a chicken bone and said, “That’s not true.”
Raya sounded a bit confused, "Huh?"
"He's not fighting for me, he's just sticking up for himself." said Angela.
James glanced at Angela and only saw the swirl of her hair, he frowned slightly and withdrew his gaze.
"Cathleen, yous should apologize to Brother James. He's not an unreasonable person."
Jessica gently advised Cathleen. Then, she turned her head and said to James.
"Brother James, Cathleen was furious with my brother before she spoke.
Just do me a favor. If she apologizes to you, just let her go. Do you think that's okay?"
"It's not impossible." said James.
Jessica sighed in slight relief and gave Cathleen a wink.
Cathleen was just about to apologize to James, but he said first.
"No need to apologize to me. Apologize to her. If she forgives you, it is over."
He pointed to Angela.
Seeing this, Cathleen’s face suddenly changed, like she had eaten a fly by mistake.
Angela's body stiffened, she looked up at James.
Sometimes she really didn't know what he was thinking, like now.
He had broken her leg for Jessica in the first place, and she thought he must love Jessica deeply, but what she had seen and heard since she was released from the prison was contradictory to that conclusion.
James ...... she could not really guess what he was up to.
The smile on Jessica’s face stiffened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, "Brother James. That is just too much for me, not to say Cathleen."
"Angela knew that the Harvey and Smith families were about to get engaged, and she also knew that my brother and Cathleen were already engaged, yet she tried to seduce you while flirting with my brother frequently."
"She did something wrong to Cathleen, and now Cathleen as the victim is just telling the truth, why should she apologize to Angela?"
The waiters stood eye-to-eye, not daring to blatantly gossip, but listened attentively, and suddenly their disgust for Angela increased to a higher level.
“Well.”
James sneered and looked askance at Jessica, "I remember saying that the Harvey family doesn't necessarily have to choose the Smith family for a marriage."
Jessica rested both hands on her legs and clutched her clothes, her clear face turning pale in a flash.
"As for Mr. Danis Smith," James walked up to Danish and put his hand on his shoulder, his eyes slightly cool, "He's the one who pestered Angela, right?"
Hearing this, the waiters were a bit confused; the two claims were worlds apart, who was telling the truth then?
"What are you guys doing standing there? Come and help, don't you see it's busy?"
Seeing the argument between the two tables, the lobby manager was worried that a couple of waiters would hear something they shouldn't and piss them off.
Jessica smiled and wanted to say something else, but she was interrupted by Danis.
He jerked to his feet and said with a grimly handsome face.
“Enough!” When he finished, he didn't look at anyone and strutted towards the door.
"Danis!"
Cathleen shouted behind his back, and without any response, he didn't even stop for a second before he exited the resturant.
Her eyes were slightly red with anger, she tried to go after him, but she took a few steps and then backed off, reluctantly apologizing to Angela, each word squeezed out from her teeth, "I'm sorry, it's my fault today, is that okay?"
“Woman who can't control her man should find reasons from herself and shoud not put shit on me every time something goes wrong. It is disgusting."
Angela looked at her and said word by word.
