Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

Angela frowned and went into the kitchen. She saw the Minced Pork Congee and a few dishes on the counter.

She compressed her lips, walked over, and opened the refrigerator. She glanced at the various raw meat and vegetables inside, closed the refrigerator door, and returned to the counter.

After a light breakfast, Angela suddenly thought of something. She went back to the room, took out her mobile phone and sent a message for her brother,

“I have already discussed with Mr. Conrad. He will send someone to take me away and he won’t let James embarrass you and Luna. I’m still not sure where I will go. When I get there, I will contact you.”

After editing, she put her finger on the button but did not press it in the end. Instead, she deleted the message word by word.

Her brother had always been unable to hide things in his heart. If she told him, James would figure it out if her brother did something. By then, the loss outweighed the gain.

It was not too late to talk to grandparents on the day of Lewis’s wedding.

In the next few days, Angela stayed at Bamboo Estate except for going out to take a drive theory test.

During these days, Denise came once and talked to her for a while. Her complexion didn’t look very good as if something was on her mind. She asked a few questions, but Denise kept silent, so she didn’t ask anymore.

Soon it came to Lewis’s wedding.

James prepared a formal dress for Angela in advance. He also invited several stylists and hairstylists to come over to help Angela.

“I can simply dress up.” Angela didn’t want to dress too grandly. Firstly, the Smith family and the Rodriguez family originally didn’t want to invite her so it was improper for her to be too eye-catching.

Secondly, the persons arranged by Mr. Conrad would take her away tonight. It was inconvenient for her to dress that intricate.

James dragged her, took her to sit in front of the mirror, and said lightly, “You go with me. Don’t be afraid that the Smith family and the Rodriguez family will notice you.”

Angela frowned and wanted to stand up, but he put an arm on her shoulder, “Don’t move.”

A group of people crowded around Angela, arguing about a styling issue for a long time. She got pain in her ear and simply lowered her head to play with her mobile phone.

Her brother sent a message to her, “Angela, do you need me to bring you an evening dress and some jewelry? I just happen to have bought a lot of good things during the past two years. I want to send them to you as gifts… but they are not as good-looking as the previous jade pendant.

Angela had to leave tonight. It was inconvenient for her to bring a bunch of things, so she refused it. She originally wanted to tell her brother that she was leaving tonight, but James was beside her, so she gave up this plan.

She put away the phone, looked at the jade pendant worn around James’s neck, and frowned.

Seeming to notice her gaze, James turned his head and glanced at her, then tied the top two shirt buttons to block the jade pendant on his neck.

Angela frowned a little tighter and pointed to his neck, “This jade pendant…”

“I saw it in an antique shop before. I like it very much. I can’t give it to you.” James stroked the non-existent folds in the suit and turned his head to look at her.

Angela pursed her lips and withdrew her gaze blankly, while James got up and went upstairs.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

After a short while, James took a small black square box downstairs and then handed it to Angela. She glanced at it and didn’t move. James opened the box and took out a drop-shaped turquoise jade pendant from it, which looked better than her previous one.

James put the jade pendant on his hand and bent over to put it on her. But she reached out to stop him and glanced at his neck, leaving the important words unsaid.

“I can’t give it to you.” James broke off her hand and helped her wear the jade pendant with his eyes down.

His slightly cool hand passed over the skin of Angela, arousing layers of goose bump on her body. Besides, his warm breath sprayed on her ears, which made her feel itchy, very uncomfortable.

Angela quickly stood up, untied the pendant that James had just put on her, and reached out to him, “Return my necklace.”

“Huh?” James slightly raised his eyebrows with a faint expression as if he didn’t know what she was talking about.

Getting a lump in her throat, Angela frowned and said, “The necklace you wear around your neck belongs to me. Return it to me.”

Both the stylists and hairstylists stopped their movements and looked at them with different expressions.

“Do you mean this?” James unbuttoned his shirt, pointed to the jade pendant between the collarbone and asked her.

Angela nodded with an ugly expression. It was the same as hers, from the chain to the pendant. She was sure that this was hers.

“I bought this myself. You’ve got the wrong one.” James fastened the button again and pointed to the necklace in her palm, “Wear that one.”

Angela’s frown deepened, “The silver tray behind this jade pendant has my name on it. I am sure it belongs to me.”

“There is no word behind. I have already checked it.” James raised his hand to look at the time and said to the people beside her, “It’s getting late. You take her to change clothes first.”

Angela wanted to say something more but those people understood James’s meaning and pushed or pulled to take her to change clothes.

Nanchen Hotel.

BMW, Mercedes, Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche, May Bach, Rolls-Royce… luxury cars densely occupied the parking space in front of the hotel. At this time, the hotel staff was guiding a Land Rover and Rolls-Royce to park in the basement.

The entrance of the hotel was covered with a red carpet of nearly two hundred meters. More than 20 people near the entrance of the hotel wearing suits or cheongsams were greeters arranged by the hotel. The remaining hundreds of people were bodyguards responsible for protecting the safety of guests.

Since Mr. Lewis’s wedding guests were mostly the rich and famous, and some officials, the police arranged dozens of people in plain clothes to inspect the crowd in case of accidents.

There were constant men and women in Chinese clothes getting out of the car. Some walked into the hotel in the flashing lights, talking and laughing, while some walked into the hotel with dignified, noble, or elegant postures.

Some people would simply say a few words to the microphones passed by the journalists, while some would wave their hands directly, expressing inconvenience for the interview. Occasionally, passers-by would take pictures, post them online to join in the fun, and ask what the situation was.

The hotel staffs were busy. They methodically guided the guests to the Honour Hall where the wedding was held, and then hurried down to greet another group of guests.

The Rodriguez family and the Smith family stood at the entrance of the Honour Hall to greet the guests. On this big day, they all forced a smile. Only Jessica’s smile was natural.

“Luis, you are here. Come in please!”

“Oh, Director, I’m so glad you could come. Excuse me for not receiving you!”

Edward, Jessica, and the elders of the Rodriguez family could still greet people. But Adeline, Danis, and other young members of the Rodriguez family all pulled a long face. They couldn’t wait to find a ground crack to get in.

People who had good acquaintances with the Smith family and the Rodriguez family could also say some auspicious words, but those who had a poor relationship with the two families would say harsh words clearly or not so clearly.
