Angela raised her eyebrows slightly and there was sternness on the scar at the end of her eyebrows, “Help me?”
“You are a murderer and you have been kicked out of the Chante’s family. Even if James likes you, his family won’t agree with it!”
“The Harvey family and the Smith family will be united by marriage. If you still stay with James then, you will be his mistress. What will others say about you at that time?” Danis said.
Angela twitched her lips, “I didn’t expect that you could think of these. I thought your head just increases your height!”
“Angela!” Danis felt that she simply didn’t know what was good for herself.
‘Why did you shout so loudly? I’m lame, not deaf.” Angela looked at him coldly, “You say you can help me leave James. Are you doing this for my good? Or do you want me to make way for Jessica? Or do you still want me to be with you?”
Danis’s back tightened. He didn’t look at her eyes, “Just answer my question. Do you want to leave James?”
“Didn’t you already know that I am greedy for power and money?” Angela said, “Now I have finally been with James. Why should I bother to leave him? Are you stupid?”
Her answer made Danis’s face pale, “But if you continue to stay by his side, you will be the mistress who will be spurned by everyone! You are someone who intervenes in other people’s marriage! Do you even want to abandon courtesy, justice, and shame for the sake of money and power?!”
“You should ask Jessica carefully when you go back. What is it like failing to get James even if she abandoned her conscience?” Angela looked up at him. Her face was still the same as before and didn’t seem to have changed at all. But her face now was disgusting.
Danis stared straight at her with a complex expression mixed with undisguised disappointment.
“Nothing else this time, right?” Angela might feel uncomfortable for his gaze before, but now she felt nothing.
Perhaps Danis criticized her so often that she had long been used to it.
“How much money do you want? As long as it is within my ability, I can give it to you!” Danis stared straight at her. Almost every word he said was squeezed out of his throat.
Angela smiled, “You can’t give what I want.”
“The Smith Group is not small, but it is not comparable to the Harvey Group. Moreover, James now controls almost the entire Harvey Group. What about you? You have to wait until your dad retires from the position of president in another ten or twenty years.”
The blue veins stood out on Danis’s forehead, “Do you have to be such a philistine?”
“Am I not always such a person in your eyes?” Angela said, “Oh, I’m also a cruel and unscrupulous woman.”
Danis looked at her with a cold face and did not speak for a long time.
“Remember your words. I never want to see you again!” Angela turned around and said as she walked towards the door, “I don’t want to be called ‘coquette’ by your mother, your fiancée, and your sister. James might misunderstand me.”
Danis clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with pain.
It wasn’t until Angela was about to reach the door that he said wearily, “Drink the remaining two glasses of wine before you leave.”
“No, I’m not in the mood to drink while you’re here.” Angela opened the door and walked out.
The moment the door was closed, the sunlight completely disappeared. Danis’s heart darkened and became empty. He walked into the bar counter, took a bottle of red wine, uncovered the lid, and poured it directly into his mouth.
When the red wine was rolling down his cheeks, crystal tears mingled and rolled down his neck and collarbone. The liquid was so cold that Danis felt his heartache.
