Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

Hospital.

Ela was in the same ward as Noah and she was fine, just a finger mark on her neck, while Noah had bruises all over his body and bandages on his limbs and neck.

“Didn’t we say before that when Angela and James had fallen out, we’d pull the bodyguards back and leave her to her own devices? Why did you change your mind on the spur of the moment?” Noah’s throat was sore when he spoke.

Ela glanced at him, “It’s a long night. And my instincts weren’t wrong, Angela did tell James everything, and if we go with the plan from the start, it won’t work at all.”

She didn’t feel any regret about letting Jessica get Angela killed, her only regret was that Jessica hadn’t been very good at her job this time and had been found out so quickly.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“But ……” Noah puzzled, “He’s all but said not to touch Angela, lest it cause James to resist. If you do that, James won’t be happy with you, and he won’t be happy with you.”

Ela was unimpressed, “It’s just a woman, James will forget about it after a while.”

James’s father had to marry that girl from the Rodriguez family and went on a hunger strike and committed suicide, but he still married Denise and had so many other women on the side.

Love is the most unreliable thing of all.

James has been so enamoured by Angela all this time that he even left his shares in Harvey Group for her in the first place. When he thinks about it later, he will definitely feel foolish.

She had lived for decades and seen more than her fair share, and when the time came, James would only thank her, not hate her.

“But ……” Noah was about to say something when his phone vibrated. He glanced at the caller ID with a bit of scorn on his face, “It’s him calling, I think he wants to talk about this time.”

Trey Ela frowned, picked up her phone and had changed into a smiling face when she picked up the call, “Why are you calling me personally? I’m really flattered.”

“If I don’t call you again, I’m afraid you’ll forget who I even am!” An angry male voice rang out on the other end of the phone.

Ela, “Your joke is not funny, I, Ela, just lost my memory and forgot my name, and I definitely remember your name.”

“Don’t give me that falsehood! Why didn’t you do what you planned? Ela, I just warned you this afternoon not to touch Angela, and you let someone kill her at night. It was all yelled out.

Ela’s face was a little hard to read, but she still spoke with a little deliberate ingratiation, “You misunderstand, I was forced to do that, not to disobey you.”

The man sneered and didn’t say anything.

“Angela told James everything I asked her to do, and I only decided to do Angela on the spur of the moment because I was afraid he would follow the trail and find us.” Ela said.

James has a long road ahead of him, but he’s got no sense now for Angela, and there’s no way she’s going to keep such a scourge around him.

The other side froze for a moment before speaking out, with a bit of imperceptible trepidation, “Angela told James everything? When was this?”

“Don’t you panic, Angela also only thought I was trying to break her up with James and didn’t think any more than that. And it was Jessica who did it, she’ll take all the blame and not involve us.” Ela said.

Hearing this, the man’s anger was a few points less and solemnly said, “Even if you can’t find out about me, James will now blame you, how else are you going to insert people inside the company?”

“I’ll take care of these things, so don’t worry. In the meantime, at least until Angela’s funeral, James won’t be handling the company’s affairs. A few days is enough time for me to get things done.” Ela said.

The man then put his mind at ease, but before he hung up, he repeated his instructions to tell her to stick to the plan and not to mess around.

Ela agreed evenly.

When she hung up, Noah hesitated, “Are you really sure you want to do this?”

“Do we have a way back now?” They were running across the crumbling stone bridge and could only move forward, not back.

Noah wanted to say something but didn’t.

“If you have something to say, just say it, we’ve been doing this for years, you don’t have to cover up anything you say.” Ela pulled his hand away and gave it a few gentle pats.

Noah then said, “You say you’re doing it for James’ own good, but if you do, if it comes out, it’s really pushing James into the fire.”

His comment upset Ela a little and she let go of his hand, “It won’t find out with that guy around. And if I don’t, who’s going to help with the Harvey Group’s involvement with human experimentation?”

“…… all at your service.” Noah was going to say that it was the human experimentation thing they had uncovered, but seeing that she was already upset, he said no more.

“That’s right.” Ela smiled and patted the back of his hand.

“Besides, we started with Smith Group with Chante Group, but Smith Group got played down by them and Chante Group temporarily hooked up with the Thompson family and it didn’t fit to move. Let’s just say that it was God’s will.”

Bamboo Estate.

The two didn’t stay here for too long, but there were Angela’s coats hanging on the hangers, hand warmers on the coffee table next to the sofa, and women’s skincare products in the bathroom ……

Everywhere there are traces of Angela’s life, as if her departure was just a nightmare.

James tried to ignore the things she used, trying to deliberately forget the fact that she was gone.

Still, when he walked to the clothing room and saw the rows of women’s clothes and the clothes worn by baby boys and girls, pain swept through him instantly.

She’s dead ……

Died with their children ……

James stood firm with his face pale against the wall, suddenly not wanting to go to the hospital.

At least when he doesn’t see Angela’s body, he can fool himself and tell himself that she didn’t leave.

But if he doesn’t see her now, he’ll only see her in his dreams later ……

James took a deep, shaky breath and walked over to the wardrobe, his fingers trembling as he picked up the dress that Angela had picked out for him when he got engaged two years ago.

“James, you look great in a white shirt and black suit, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in any other colour. Well, let’s have this one, in ruby blue, such a flirty colour, I wonder what it would look like on you.”

She fell in love with him and he caused her to lose her innocence, to suffer so much, and now to lose her life with her child!

James leaned against the wall clutching his clothes, his eyes empty and listless, so depressed he could barely breathe.

But Angela is still lying in hospital, all alone ……

He minced his lips, changed his clothes, shaved and did his hair again, and left the villa, ready to drive to the hospital.

“You go back first and take the car next to you.” James tossed the keys to the other car to Howard Lee and got into the driver’s seat of the Bentley.

She only ever rode in this car with him because she liked the model.

He wanted to finally use the car to drop her off.
