Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey novel Chapter 311

Jessica stared at her for a while, clenching the arms of her wheelchair, and let out a gentle sigh, "Why do you bother to mock the way I talk and behave, just to make me sick?"

"Oh yeah?" Angela replied in surprise, "You are also aware of how sick the way you usually talk and behave is?"

Jessica pinched her lips together, remaining a poker face while staring at Angela. She then tried to stand up, but sat back again halfway, with her whole body braced.

Angela was literally a different person.

"Thank you for your caring. As expected, cabbage and needle mushroom are yummy in hot pot." A smile flickered across Angela's lips.

Jessica kept staring at her without a word, but Angela seemingly took no notice of it, dipping whatever she favored into the boiling soup to satisfy her apparent good appetite.

"You don't ask me out to pick a quarrel with me, do you?" The smell of the pig lung made her feel like throwing up, but she had to restrain herself.

As people became meddlesome, there must be someone among the girls or others who would post it online if she threw up in front of Angela.

Once she had done something damaging her family's interests ... She frowned at the thought of possible consequences.

Angela picked up a dish of shrimp paste and put some into the spicy soup. "How could I do that? I ask you out just to see how you are doing since I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Not good really, out of guilt." Jessica sighed, "I don't feel well recently, so would you mind if I leave first for I have an appointment with the doctor?"

Angela picked up a piece of shrimp paste and swallowed. She chuckled and asked, "A delay of the treatment or a scandal of yours, which do you think is more terrible?"

"Both." Jessica turned blue in her face, "A hard choice."

Angela asked unconcernedly, "What if you have to choose one?"

Jessica turned to her, with various expressions quickly shifting on her face. It had been quite a while before Jessica answered softly, "I owe you anyway, so you can be blunt to me if there's anything I can do for you. I will comply as long as it's within my reach."

Impatience was the last thing needed in a negotiation. Once you asked a question first, you lost the upper hand arguably. Usually, it must be Angela who did it first, but this time it was Jessica.

"The Chante Group recently cooperated with the Smith Group on a new program, with the latter's over 160 million balance to be paid. As its chief financial officer, you must be aware of it, right?" asked Angela.

Jessica said in surprise, "I really have no idea about this. 160 million may be significant to common people, but to the Smith Group it's only small fry, which doesn't deserve my concern."

Both the Chante Group and the Smith Group were worth tens of billions of dollars. To the laymen, among whom had been Angela, some 100 million must be nothing to them.

With her saying so, Jessica was obviously taking advantage of Angela's ignorance on this.

Angela had been playing the fool for a long time, and she thought it's time for a showdown. "Pay the balance to the Chante Group before midnight, or I will make the dirt of the Smith Group’s public, announcing you are aiming at me."

At the sight of Jessica playing with her cellphone, Angela chuckled, "As your friend, I remind you not to try to record my words and expose me. That would worsen your image to the public for they would consider you are framing me again."

What Angela said certainly had also been taken into Jessica's consideration. She bit her lip before replying, "You are too suspicious. I was just checking the time."
