Chapter 79 Killed Two Birds with One Stone

Angela sat on the hospital bed eating the dragon fruit without making much noise; she was not a self-

starter, before or now.

"The eloquence of a good lawyer is not eloquence, and how many mistakes will the opposing party

uncover by your brainless blabbering like this?"

Sean knocked Raya's head.

Raya's eyes dribbled around, as if a pause switch pressed, and she was instantly quiet.

However, it only lasted for ten minutes, "Your name's Angela, isn't it?

Angela, do you still have to go back to work at the Dream Club after you are discharged from the

hospital this time?"

"...um.”

Angela's movement of eating the dragon fruit paused for once, a glimmer of gloom flashed at the

bottom of her eyes, and she did not know if her plan to seduce James would work.

Even if she succeeded, would he really let her leave the Dream Club?

Maybe after playing with her, he would still leave her at the Dream Club to humiliate her.

However, even if there was little hope, she had to try. There was no other way out for her.

“I still have to go back..."

Raya's baby face crinkled into a ball, as she suddenly remembering something. She jumped up,

wrapped her arms around Sean's neck, wrapped her legs around his waist, and hung onto his body.

Seeing this, Angela accidentally choked, and she coughed twice, pulling out a tissue and wiping the

dragon fruit off the corner of her mouth.

"You go down."

Sean was afraid that she would fall and said with his hands holding her up.

"Master-"

Raya wrapped her arms around his neck and swayed back and forth, pouting.

"Aren't you good friends with Mr. Harvey?

Just ask him to let Angela off, okay?"

Angela was slightly stunned, she had heard that James had a good friend who was a lawyer, but the

other party had been studying abroad, she had not seen it, and it turned out to be Sean.

Her eyes flickered, if he interceded for her in front of James, that might work.

Sean swept a thoughtful glance at her, and then pushed the gold-rimmed glasses almost shaken off by

Raya, "You go down first."

"You promise me first!"

Raya was insisting, "Master, isn't the task of a lawyer to punish evil and promote good?

Angela is being bullied by James, so help her!"

Sean corrected calmly, "You're talking about prosecutors and police, lawyers only serve for money."

Seeing that he had no intention of helping, Angela wanted to say 'I appreciate Raya's kindness', but the

words reached her lips and she swallowed them back.

She clutched the sheets tightly and lowered her eyes, her breathing slightly sharper than usual.

She can see that Sean loved Raya, his apprentice. In case, he agreed, and then her hope of leaving

the Dream Club would come true!

"Master-!"

Raya shouted, "If you don't say yes, I won't go down!"

Sean was unmoved, "Then hang on, just don't complain again when your hands get sore."

“...”

Raya instantly wilted and muttered.

"No wonder you're good friends with that ruthless James, you're just like him..."

Angela swallowed the dragon fruit in her mouth, a glimmer of gloom flashed in her eyes, "Thank you

Raya for helping me twice. You shouldn't make things difficult for Sean, he should have his own

difficulties too." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Raya let go of Sean's neck and dropped onto the ground, twisting uncomfortably, "Actually, my master

isn't bad. His parents told him to stay away from your brother's case, and he immediately withdrew the

case."

"You're dropping the case because of Sean's mom and dad?"

Angela looked up sharply, slightly disoriented.

"Oh, yeah"

Seeing her emotional, Raya felt puzzled, "My master's parents have some friendship with your parents.

So they asked my master not to interfere in your brother's case, and then my master withdrew the

case."

She said it like a tongue twister and at the end she asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's OK."

Angela put down the dragon fruit, her expression had returned to normal, but her hand still clutched the

sheet underneath her.

James's plan of killing two birds with one stone was good. He didn’t have any disagreement with Sean

because of his brother's case, and he took the Chante family's land in G City with his empty hand!

Raya gave a long oh, feeling a little embarrassed and guilty for not being able to help Angela, her eyes

flashed as she said she had to go to the toilet and darted out.

Sweeping her eyes over the bathroom in the ward, Angela pursed her lips.

"How do you and Raya know each other?"

Sean walked to the door and closed it behind him.

Angela looked up at him, lowered her head and put down the dragon fruit she had just picked up, and

said lightly.

"I work at the Dream Club and Raya was a guest who happened to meet me."

"Did you happen to meet once, or did you meet on purpose?"

Sean pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, the sunlight spilling in through the window, the lenses reflecting,

unable to see the look under his eyes.

The faint smell of disinfectant filled the ward, and the white sheets, white walls and beige floors were

supposed to be relaxing, but now they were a little harsh.

Angela propped her hands on the bed and moved in the direction of the pillows, "When I first met Raya,

the secretary had just arrived, and even the news hadn't reported any information about him yet."

She smiled to herself, "Do you think that I, a newly released criminal with no background, could have

advance information about the new secretary in the city?"

“You don’t seem to have no background, do you?"

Sean peeled a banana slowly and methodically, "The Chante family broke off relations with you, but

Greyson seems to be close to you."

Angela frowned slightly, "Assuming I know that Raya is the new city secretary's daughter, how can I get

her into the Dream Club?"

"Raya has been well protected by her family, as she has just graduated two months ago. She doesn't

know the complexity of society yet, but she just has a passion to help people."

Sean took a bite of the banana and said slowly.

"But that doesn't mean she doesn't have people around her who understand."

Angela chortled and threw the dragon fruit she had not finished eating into the trash can, "Then I'll

trouble that understanding person to properly persuade Raya to stop caring about me as a murderer, I

can't afford it."

“I will be glad to."

Sean raised his eyebrows slightly, ate the banana in two or three bites and threw it into the trash can,

"But Raya is a stubborn girl, and my advice may not work. Please try to avoid Raya when you see her

in the future."

Suppressing the anger running through her chest, Angela said indifferently.

“Mr. Sean, please say “thank you” to Raya on my behalf, and tell her not to send her kindnesses

casually,”

Her good intentions might be a burden to others.

She got halfway through and swallowed last part of the sentence, "Just express my gratitude to her.

I'm tired and want to rest for a while. Mr. Sean, take your time and leave if you like."

"Thank you for your understanding. In return, I will put in a few kind words for you in front of James, but

what he chooses to do, I can't guarantee."

Sean finished speaking and walked towards the door.

Angela was slightly stunned for a moment, looked at his back, and said.

“Thanks.”

There was no response.

Sean exited the ward swiftly, and the moment the door was closed, the last rays of sunlight was cut off

from the outside.
