"That's fine. Since you don't want to hear this, then I won't nag anymore. To be honest, Angela, I don't think you're good enough for James. And that's why I want to separate the two of you." Ela said sincerely.
Angela frowned. Since when did she have to ask others for their opinions when she wanted to be with James?
Before Angela was about to speak, Ela said first, "Angela, I'm not asking for your opinion. If you agree with my offer, I will let James out. If you don't agree with my offer, then I won't take things personally."
"You won't take things personally? You are just an old award-winning actress who has stopped your acting career for years, so in what capacity are you going to deal with it?" Angela sneered.
She didn't know what Ela was trying to do, but she was sure that Ela was trying hard to separate her from being with James, so she was definitely not doing it for James' sake!
Ela hated being called an old woman. When she heard Angela's words, she put away her smile, "Don't make things so literal! Don't you get clever with me! Angela, I'll give you half an hour to think about it. Do you promise or not? Just say it!"
Angela pursed her lips, and her nails dug deep into her palms.
As Ela had said, even if she said more now, it would be of no use. There were only two choices left for her. She would either promise her or not! "Before you reply, I have to remind you of two things." Ela stood up, walked over to Angela, and gently patted her face.
"First, if you want to touch the people from the Harvey Group, you can't afford to mess with the Harvey family and the Brown family. Although Mr. Sutton has connections, he will never interfere with this."
"Besides, The Harvey Group does have something to do with human experimentation. And all that evidence is true, but there's no way to confirm whether James knows about that yet."
Angela's face grew paler with every word she said.
Because what she said was true.
Ela straightened up and went over to pull up Noah, "Okay. I'll give you half an hour to think about it. And no one will bother you. Well, if you want to leave, then no one will stop you. I'll see you in a bit."
She chuckled and took Noah's arm. Then they both left, laughing and joking.
The maid prepared a new pot of tea, a plate of snacks, and a plate of fruits for Angela, and also left the lobby.
Angela was instantly left alone in the large lobby. And it looked like this from its appearance.
The lobby was brightly lit, but it was pitch black outside. There was no city noise and no sound of insects chirping. Only the sound of the wind could be heard occasionally. She felt that it was so quiet that it made her feel horrified.
Angela's back tightened, and she sat for a while. Then she tried to stand up and walked towards the door.
When she reached the doorway where the light and darkness met, no one stopped her, but she paused anyway.
If she had just left, what would James do?
If she could make a promise to Ela, would James really be able to get out of prison?
Angela looked at the shadows of the trees in the distance. When the wind blew on her face, she felt incredibly cold and bitterly disappointed. She licked her dry lips and called Denise.
"What's up, Angela?" Denise took a while to answer the phone. And she sounded tired, "What's with the sound of the wind? You're out now?"
"I just finished dinner. I'm taking a walk outside Bamboo Estate. I read on the Internet that walking more would do good for pregnant women." Angela said.
"As your house is so spacious, you can take a walk inside. Go back now. Don't catch a cold!" Denise had almost watched Angela grow up, so she knew she felt the cold a lot.
After the cool wind blew on her forehead, she suffered from a headache.
Angela didn't go inside, "Well...I am on my own. And I don't want to go back. Mrs. Harvey, I miss James. When will he be back?"
Denise didn't make a sound for a while.
