"Don't touch me!" cried Angela as she pushed James away with a pale face.
Her heart ached as long as she thought that James had something to do with her mom's death.
Holding the hand of Angela and pulling her into his arms, James sighed, "I haven't finished yet. What's your hurry?"
"Don't say anything more! I don't want to hear it!" said Angela as she pushed her hands against his chest and felt almost breathless, "It's a mistake to be with you!"
'If I hadn't fallen in love with James and insisted on being together with him, the Chante family wouldn't have been like this today!'
Hearing it, James said with a sudden coldness on his face, "Don't say it's a mistake to be with me any more. I don't want to hear it again."
"You don't want to hear it? But isn't it a truth?" said Angela with bloodshot eyes, "If I hadn't fallen in love with you, all these things wouldn't have happened later and Mom wouldn't have...died!"
'Dad is right. I caused the death of Mom...'
Seeing the tear-stained face of Angela, James felt a sudden pain in his heart and reached up to hold her into his arms.
"Don't touch me!" cried Angela as she struggled to shake the hands of James off but failed. She bit James on the shoulder hard with red eyes.
'I even told Luna that I trusted him. How ridiculous!'
While the mixed tastes of tears and blood in her mouth made Angela sick, she still got her teeth into James' shoulder.
Holding her and stroking her back, James said in a distressed and amused mood, "Can't you hear me out? I do have something to do with your mom's death as someone wants to plant it on me."
"You get it, little fool?" said James as he kissed Angela on her hair.
Angela froze and let go of his shoulder.
'Plant?'
'So James had nothing to do with it?'
"But I heard you asking someone to deal with my mom's death and to delete all the chatting records on my mom's phone on the phone. Why?" asked Angela.
Angela wanted to trust James, but she heard those words with her own ears.
"I knew you heard it," said James with raised eyebrows as he had guessed it from the expression on the face of Angela just now.
"Will you believe it if I tell you I did so because I didn't want them to plant it on me or you to misunderstand me?"
Looking up at James, Angela suddenly pushed him away, taking a few steps backward and asking, "If you had nothing to do with it, why did you know the chatting records on my mom's phone?"
"Luna sent them to me," said James in disappointment as Angela didn't choose to trust him.
But James didn't complain about it as he knew that he had broken her heart before and it was reasonable that she didn't dare to trust him.
Angela's face went pale immediately.
'Luna sent them to him?'
'How could it be possible?'
'Didn't Luna order me over and over again not to tell James when she sent me these chatting records?'
Instead of continuing to explain, James took out his phone and showed his chatting records with Luna to Angela.
Taking his phone with trembling hands, Angela tried a few times to scroll down the records but failed.
'How could it be possible?'
'Greyson and Luna were the only people who trusted me after the car accident. She was so good to me. Why did she do this?'
