"It is unlikely that I will be able to come to your place now. You have arranged two men to guard my nephew and niece. If I go there, and they do something to my nephew and niece, how will I explain that to my brother and his wife?"
Angela struggled to suppress the anger inside her. At this point, the more agitated she became, the more likely she was to lose leverage on the current situation.
Given the current situation, she would only lose control of the situation.
After a while, Ela said, "If that's all you're worried about, that is very easy to solve your problem."
After saying this, she shouted to the person standing over there, "Erika, call them both and tell them to come back."
The one called Erika echoed her.
Ela said, "How about this? Little girl, can you come over now?"
"How do I know if you are not playing tricks on me?" Angela said.
Ela was in no hurry, "Now James is in jail. If I want to bargain with you, I can use him as leverage. Your nephew and niece are no longer of use to me, but I can understand your feelings. If you don't believe me, then just wait a minute. It won't take them too long to go downstairs."
After hearing what she said, it looked like she was really going to call the two people who were watching the twins and ask them to go back.
However, Angela didn't quite believe her. She felt that there was nothing wrong with being careful about everything.
The night was a bit cool, and Angela was afraid of the cold. Her hand with the phone was cold and reddened after a while.
Three or five minutes later, two people came out of the Chante family's house.
They walked up to Angela and bent down to her. Then they said respectfully, "Miss Lorenzo, we are the ones who take care of the twins. Now, will you come with us to see Ela, or will you go to see her by yourself?"
Angela could never go to see Ela alone at this late hour, then she shot a look at the bodyguards and told them to grab those two people.
The two bodyguards nodded.
Before they could do anything, Ela's voice rang out on the other end of the phone, "Since my people are asking you questions, why are you taking so long to answer them?" "Angela, you're not trying to blackmail me by arresting them, are you?"
"You are overthinking this." Angela did have this thought, but this feeling of having her thoughts figured out made her feel uncomfortable.
"Whether I am overthinking or not, you know better than I do. But I advise you not to do so. Otherwise, James will not have an easy life in prison." Ela said.
Angela frowned, "Since you can make James have a hard time in jail, can't I give your people a hard time?"
Ela looked like she had heard some kind of joke, "Even if they die, it has nothing to do with me. At most, I'll only give them some money as compensation."
"Let them go." Angela clutched the phone, turned her head, and gave the bodyguards orders.
It felt like she was being held in a confined space like this. Everywhere she looked, there were only walls and no way out.
She felt frustrated, frantic, but there was nothing she could do!
The bodyguards had to release the two.
"All right. I have also shown my sincerity. You can come to me now?" Ela asked, "Angela, you've already said no to me twice, so you can't refuse me again."
Angela had no way back, so she could only grit her teeth and accept her offer.
After she went back to the Chante family and had a few words with the servants, she asked her bodyguards to drive her and those two people to Ela's place.
The only thing she felt lucky for now was that Ela did not say she should go there alone.
Ela lived in a villa on the outskirts of town. She was just a former award-winning actress who was no longer acting, but her villa was more luxurious than the Chante family's villa.
