Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey novel Chapter 271

"I said the wrong thing." Lewis breathed a heavy sigh. "Please don’t take it to heart, James. I am here today to apologize to you and Angela on behalf of Jessica. When she wakes up, she will definitely come and apologize to you too."

The group of people made some small talk. Although Lewis kept apologizing to them and maintained a low profile, it was not difficult for one to tell that he was defending Jessica all the time.

Adeline and Timothy tried to chime in several times, but Lewis shouted them down. During this period, Edward also arrived in a hurry and apologized to Angela sincerely.

The group argued for almost an hour before Lewis left with his people.

Seeing that the drama was over, the lookers-on dispersed too.

It was unknown where Gabriela got an apple from. She shook her head and commented while eating the apple, "Tsk, there’s no idiot in this world… Or is there?"

Gabriela threw a meaningful glance at Angela as she said the last three words.

Angela didn’t comment on it. She indeed was the idiot among this group of people, and couldn’t stack up against any of them no matter in scheming or life experience.

— Which was why she insisted on leaving James after learning the truth.

However, judging from what James said in the car, it was just an extravagant hope that Angela left him. The only thing she was able to do now was play along. Avoiding him blindly would only make her even more passive.

"Shut up." James glanced at Gabriela, a glint of warning in his eyes.

Gabriela gulped down the rest of the apple, tossed the apple core into the trash can aside and gave a bright smile. "I asked two people to take a video of what Adeline said just now."

"Great job. You’ll get a double bonus this month," James complimented and pulled Angela into Dream Club.

Gabriela had thought that Angela would struggle, but found that Angela stood next to James obediently without moving. Gabriela raised her eyebrows slightly and clicked her tongue.

"Thank you, boss," Gabriela kept pace with the two and said, gloating, "But when Lewis was here, the two people following behind him also mingled with the crowd and took pictures. I reckon they’re up to something."

James was not surprised at this. Actually, he had noticed it when Lewis had arrived.

"Did he apologize just now to wipe the slate clean for Jessica?" After a pause, Angela tilted her head and asked James.

Before James could speak, Gabriela laughed first, "Since the trial result is already carved in stone, there’s no use trying to wipe the slate clean."

Gabriela had a gleam of seduction in her eyes. "Lewis was just trying his best to get the Lewis family and the Smith family out of this by doing that, and this is the best result he can get at present. President Harvey, am I right?"

"Yes." James nodded.

Angela puckered her lips, lowered her head and went into Dream Club with them.

She was markedly different from these people, but from now on, she couldn’t avoid having contact with them…

Helpless.

This word could best describe her mood in such situation.

"Let’s go to my office. I’ve just got a can of nice tea." Gabriela was leading the way in the front in a charming manner. When she caught a glimpse of Angela’s expression, she began to muse.

James looked down at Angela and tightened his grip on her hand. "You’ve got me."
