The moment the call was answered, a light emerged in Jessica's eyes. Her brother didn't block her number, which meant that he didn't hate her that much!
Jessica was afraid that he would hang up the phone and quickly said, "Danis, I really know I'm wrong this time. I promise I will never hold anything against Angela and James again! Can you lend me some money first? I ... I haven't eaten for two meals."
From the moment she was born until now, she never thought that she would have no money for food one day.
Silence.
Jessica's heart beat fast. Her brother loved her so much, so he wouldn't reject her, right?
"... Do you really know you're wrong?" Danis' voice was a little hoarse.
Jessica bit her lip, "I like James, so I try my best to fight for it. I never thought there was anything wrong with that. But I fought as hard as I could and I didn't get him, so I won't waste my time anymore."
"You still have no remorse!" Danis' voice was filled with disgust.
"Danis!" there was a plea in Jessica's voice, "I really don't know what I did wrong, but I promise you I won't target Angela again! Really!"
She had nothing left. She didn't want to stand against her brother because of Angela!
"Jessica, you've lied to me too many times. I don't dare to trust you anymore."
The light in Jessica's eyes disappeared and was replaced by tears, "Can you trust me one more time ... okay?"
"I don't dare. I have a huge mess to clean up in the company. Don't you ever call me again." Danis hung up the phone directly after he finished.
Jessica called once more. This time, her number was blocked.
Jessica let out a bitter laugh. With a bang, she smashed the phone to the ground and stomped on it several times.
Angela had Greyson to protect her and her brother to love her when she was most down in prison ... Why did she fight so hard and end up with nothing?
It was unfair!
In the past, her grandfather told her that as long as she fought hard, she would definitely get what she wanted ... It was a lie!
A total lie!
Chante Group issued a clarification statement that afternoon, which contained various evidence that Smith Group had defamed the Chante family. Moreover, they stated that they would sue the Smith family for defamation.
Sometimes a bad thing happened, and more bad things would come later.
There were many negative news about the Smith family and Smith Group. More and more people criticized them and Jessica in particular.
When the stock market opened the next day, Chante Group's share price surged limit, while Smith Group did the opposite and directly declined limit.
The bank warned the Smith family that if they failed to repay the loan on time, they would foreclose on the fixed assets they had given as collateral for the loan.
Angela wanted to go back to work, but James hadn't settled about Ela. He was worried about her safety and wouldn't let her go to work.
She was sitting at home reading a book about baby care when Greyson called her.
According to his character, when he was happy about something, he would definitely call and share it with Angela. She was used to it.
"The stock price is up, right? I already know it. Congratulations ..."
Before Angela could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Greyson's angry roar, "Luna told me that our mother's death was related to James. And, you knew about it, didn't you?"
The curve on Angela's mouth disappeared. Luna finally told her brother about it, "Greyson ..."
"You don't have to say anything else! Angela, you come back right now! That's it!" Greyson hung up the phone quickly.
Angela's throat was dry. She drank a glass of water, took a deep breath to calm down, and called James.
