"What did you say?" Felix raised his voice and said.
Before Angela said anything this time, one of the men said carefully, "When we brought Miss Chante here, the driver in that car told us they were Old Mr. Harvey's men."
Felix didn't say anything, but his face turned pale.
Angela was slightly relieved, but she didn't show it. She just said indifferently, "Yes, the Smith family and the Harvey family will be united by marriage and Jessica will be James’ wife, but..."
She touched her belly with soft eyes, "I'm pregnant with Old Mr. Harvey's grandson, two months already."
Felix's gaze fell along with her eyes on her flat belly. He felt sick as if he had eaten a fly and cursed in a low voice.
"And as you know, Old Mr. Harvey has terminal lung cancer and doesn't have much time left. He really wants to see his first grandchild before he dies. Tell me, if you get someone to rape me and cause a miscarriage, what will Old Mr. Harvey do?"
Angela's hands were trembling slightly, but her expression did not change much.
Felix's face turned pale and he almost believed her words. But at this time, the man who carried Angela over suddenly said, "But when we stopped the car, the car was heading for the prison. If Old Mr. Harvey really attaches so much attention to you, Miss Chante, why would he let someone take you to the prison?"
Angela's heart thumped and her hands were wet with sweat.
Felix narrowed his eyes and looked at Angela with a smirk, "How do you explain this? Is it fun to lie to me?"
"Old Mr. Harvey's men took me to prison, so I'm lying? Your logic really baffles me." Angela snorted without any changes on her face, though her back was already sheathed with cold sweat.
Felix stared at her and waited for her explanation.
"Felix, you have seen many scars on my body, right?" Angela pulled her skirt up a bit to show her thighs filled with crossed scars. Everyone in the room was shocked.
Felix used to see her scars in the light and thought these scars added to her beauty. But when he saw these scars so directly, he instantly turned his eyes away.
These scars were like twisted and intertwined snakes. One would feel disgusted when seeing these things.
Felix felt he must have suffered from some mental disease, because he even wanted to sleep with her.
"Hurry up and put your skirt down, it's disgusting!" Felix said impatiently, "What do the scars on your body have to do with Old Mr. Harvey sending you to jail? Make it simple, don't try to fool me!"
Angela put down her skirt under the gazes of disgust and horror, and then said, "You're all scared looking at them, not to mention me. It hurt me a lot when I was suffering all these things."
The others still remained silent.
Angela sighed lightly, "I got these scars in the prison. After I was released from the prison, I would have nightmares every night about those people bullying me in prison. My sleep quality and psychological state directly affect the fetal development. After the psychiatrist saw me, he said it should be better for me to watch the people who used to bully me get beaten up."
It was hard to judge the truth when truth and lies were mixed together.
Felix still looked at Angela with suspicions.
Cold sweat appeared on Angela's hands when she was stared at by him like this, but she still seemed calm.
She turned her head to look at the man who carried her in, "Sir, you saw three other strong men in the car when you got in, right?"
