Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

Howard Lee walks in.

He looked at the wreckage and sighed and said, “Mr. James, there is someone who wants to see you, I don’t know if it’s convenient for you now ……”

“Not seeing.” Before he could finish his sentence, James interrupted in a cold voice, pointing to the door, “Get out.”

The alcohol stung his stomach, but he didn’t want to put the glass down.

Only the physical pain would make him feel better.

Howard Lee walked up to him and tried to pull him up but couldn’t, “Miss. Angela received quite a few birthday presents at her last birthday party and sold them all to fund someone else. There was a woman in there called Randi, the same woman who gave you the jade locket and the letterhead.”

James poured a large gulp of wine into his mouth, the spicy liquor stinging as it made its way down his oesophagus, causing him to cringe.

“The person who wants to see you is Randi, and she says she wants to talk to you about something important.” Howard Lee said.

James belched and casually tossed the empty bottle aside. He stumbled to his feet, holding onto the ground, and tried to reach for his drink.

“She’s going to say something that has to do with Miss. Angela.” Howard Lee said as he watched his back.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

James stopped in his tracks when he heard Miss. Angela’s name. His eyelashes blinked slightly and he turned slowly, “Send her in.”

When he finally agreed, Howard Lee let out a soft breath and opened the door.

Not much later, he opened the door and walked in. Behind him, the carer pushed Angela in.

The living room smelled of alcohol, making Angela sick to her stomach. She glanced at the empty bottles littering the floor and her heart fluttered as her eyes moved a little to James.

He was sitting unimpressively on the floor, his hair dishevelled and unwashed for who knows how long. His beard hadn’t been shaved and had grown out considerably, and he looked like a thirty-something tramp rather than a young president in his early twenties.

Angela knew how he had been lately, but her heart was still crushed when she actually saw it.

With difficulty she turned the wheelchair and reached him, trying to reach out and touch his face.

But before he could touch it, he jerked his head up, his bloodshot eyes meeting hers, cold, and laced with a few moments of undisguised disgust.

He does not like any woman other than Angela to touch him.

Angela hadn’t seen such a gaze from James since he had confessed his love for her. Her lips quivered slightly as she suppressed the bitterness in her heart and withdrew her hand in a slightly woeful manner.

“Say it.” James withdrew his eyes and didn’t look at her again, just said coldly.

Angela knew that he was treating her so coldly because he didn’t know she was Angela, but even so, it was still bitter to be treated like that.

“I happened to hear from a friend that someone might be trying to launder money with the help of Harvey Group. That’s why I came here to see you.”

He was too clever for her to say too much in front of him for fear that he might find out something unusual.

Howard Lee has been troubled by the matter these days, and upon hearing this, he immediately couldn’t help but ask, “You ……”

Just as he said one word, he was interrupted by James, “What I have spent so much manpower and effort to find out, you, by chance, heard from a friend?”

He tilted his head to look at Angela’s tightly wrapped face, his gaze nailed to her body like a nail.

Angela’s heart sank at his icy stare and her eyes flashed, “Things just happened to come together a bit.”

“Heh.” James sneered.

Coincidence?

Or does she have an ulterior motive?

Angela’s heart stuttered and she struggled to pull her lips together before she remembered that she was wearing a mask and he couldn’t even see it.

She pursed her lips and whispered, “If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to check it out.”

At his level, he should know what’s going on once he’s checked.

James didn’t take her word for it, but said to Howard Lee, “Send the guest.”

“Hold on a second.” Howard Lee felt that Angela had come by too much of a coincidence, but was still reluctant to pass up the opportunity to potentially know the truth, “Miss. Randi, is it convenient to ask, what is the name of that friend of yours?”

“Sorry, it’s not convenient, he doesn’t want to get involved.” Angela said.

James snorted coldly and stood up, walking over to her with unsteady steps. He lowered his eyes and looked at her indifferently, “Is it inconvenient, or is there no such person?”

This woman, Randi, appears more than once and deliberately imitates Angela’s mannerisms and movements, even her voice bears a slight resemblance.

He really had to question her motives for coming here!

Angela’s pupils narrowed and she lowered her eyes to avoid looking at him. He had always read her mind, and she was afraid to lie again for fear that he would see something this time too.

“If you don’t believe me, then I have nothing more to say. Goodbye.”

She looked to the caretaker and gestured for him to take her away.

The words, she had brought them. Given James’ nature, whether he believed it or not, he would have checked the facts, and her purpose had been achieved.

The caregiver came over and pushed her out the door.

Without looking at them again, James opened a bottle of wine, sat back down and started drinking.

Hearing the movement, Angela hesitated, didn’t hold back, made the carer stop and said, “Miss. Angela is no longer there, but if she was, I don’t think she would want to see you like this. Drinking hurts your health, you ……”

“Get out!” James snapped his head up, his crimson eyes locked on her throat like a beast about to strike.

She’s not the first to deliberately follow Angela’s lead and approach him!

I wonder how many such clever but foolish and disgusting women there have been in the past half-decade!

His disgust wasn’t even disguised, bitterness spread through Angela’s heart, she pursed her lips, “You get some rest and take care of your body ……”

“I said get lost, didn’t you hear me?!” James was in no mood to tangle with such a woman with ulterior motives, and with a cold bellow, he smashed the bottle in his hand over.

The bottle, which hadn’t been drunk for long, snapped on the floor, splashing some of the wine onto Angela.

If the caretaker had moved any slower, that bottle would have hit Angela on the head.

Angela looked at James’s face, which was so thin that it was slightly deformed, and her heart was like a dense needle, so painful that she could hardly breathe.

She …… was sorry for him.

“Mr. James, you take care of your health, too much alcohol is not ……”

Before Angela could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the caregiver with a heartfelt, “Mr. James don’t be angry, we’re leaving, we’re leaving right now!”

Having said that, he pushed Angela out almost all the way at a trot.

Howard Lee sighed inaudibly as he looked at the wine snaking across the floor, went over and closed the door, then walked up to James and snatched it out of his hand.

“Give me that.” James frowned.

Howard Lee looked at the gloom in his eyes and finally gave him his drink, “Mr. James, I think what that Miss. Randi just said might be true, should we check it out and see if someone is laundering money through the company?”
