"Let's go."
James ignored her humble attitude and easily removed her hand, "You push the wheelchair."
Angela stood still and just looked straight at him, "Does it have to be like this?"
"Angela, I don't have much patience."
James shook his champagne and takes a sip, his Adam's apple rolling in a sexy, glamorous manner.
But as charming as he was, he was a demon.
And she, as a nobody, had no other choice but to obey before the demon.
She dropped her head, smiled to herself, and walked to back of the wheelchair dejectedly.
Jessica and she were held so different in James's heart. Why did she think he would listen to her?
"I'd rather have my brother do it."
Jessica hid jealousy and resentment deep in her eyes, but her face looked quite concerned, "Angela is already looked down by the others for coming here in her work uniform. If she pushes my wheelchair for me, I'm afraid people would think she is my maid."
"She doesn't even mind it at all. Why do you care?" Danis said with a cold face and walked away.
"Thank you, Angela." Jessica smiled meekly, "Just follow my brother, my parents and the others are over there."
"Don't you get tired of acting like this every day?" Angela pushes the wheelchair, speaking in mockery.
Jessica looked surprised, innocent and confused, "Acting? Why can't I understand what you're talking about?"
Angela felt so disgusted by her, pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She just pushed the wheelchair quietly and followed Danis.
Not much later, they came to Jessica's parents.
Angela stopped and was pushed away by Adeline, Jessica's mother.
Adeline exerted big strength while Angela was off her guard, she stumbled and thumped against the table behind her.
Splash…
The table rubbed against the floor with a screeching sound, and the wine and food clattered all over the floor.
Angela fell to the ground, her tailbone hurting so bad that she bit her lip and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.
Seeing this, James furrowed and took a step forward, but quickly retreated, watching indifferently.
"Jessica, are you OK?"
Adeline examined Jessica up and down, not hiding the concern on her face, "How does this murderer stay around you? Did she hurt you?"
"Mom, don't say that about Angela, she used to be my best friend after all." Jessica wiggled her eyebrows, looking a little upset.
"You treat her as your friend but what does she think of you?"
Adeline choked, "Back then, if it wasn't for the timely rescue, I don't know whether you are…you are in this world."
It was so much noisy here that numerous people looked at Angela on the ground, gossiping and judging her.
"Isn't she in jail for attempted murder? Why she is here?"
"Miss Jessica is kind-hearted. She used to be her best friend, she didn't charge her with intentional murder, so she was released after two years in jail."
"Miss Jessica is so kind-hearted, Angela was trying to kill her but she still treats her nice given their prior friendship."
"Why did security let her in? Who can guarantee our life security?"
Sitting on the floor, Angela bit her lip and never let go even though her lips were bleeding and blood spread in her mouth.
