Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

When the assistant heard this, her face turned white with fear, “Miss. Angela, I just thought that there were many valuables in the office and I was afraid of attracting small thieves, so I just made a casual remark, is it too much for you to fire me?”

“Fear of attracting petty thieves? What do you mean, you’re insinuating that I’m a petty thief?” Angela walked up to her and said indifferently, “So what did I steal, do you think?”

The assistant blurted out, “Of course it’s stealing-”

Snap!

A bouncer interrupted her by deliberately dropping his phone on the floor.

The assistant glanced at the bodyguards and turned to Howard Lee for help, “I’ve worked here for five years, Howard Lee, you’re not going to fire me just because Miss Angela said so, are you? Aren’t you afraid that this will tarnish your reputation?”

Howard Lee felt that there was something wrong with both his assistant and Angela today and did not answer immediately.

“What’s with the bad reputation? Fire her and say she seduced James, these bodyguards behind me can all testify to that.” Angela twisted her head to look at the bodyguards and said slowly, “Do you think I’m right?”

They were explicitly her people, so they certainly couldn’t speak for the female assistant and could only nod their heads and say yes.

“In that case, O Assistant L, just write a letter of resignation and go to the finance side to settle the bill.” Howard Lee didn’t know why Angela was targeting Assistant L so much, but chose to sack the assistant anyway, based on a hunch.

The assistant wanted to say more, but Howard Lee didn’t want to pester him anymore, “Now go and get as much as you’re entitled to, and if you pester me again, I’ll find out that you’ve broken any rules while you’re working, and you won’t get any more money.”

The assistant nodded reluctantly and left with red eyes.

“It doesn’t look like something was left here, Howard Lee, so I’ll leave you to it.” Angela said and headed for the door.

Howard Lee called out to her, “Miss. Angela has lost something, is it convenient to tell me about it?”

Without waiting for her to answer, he continued, “I didn’t mean anything else, I just wanted to ask to help keep an eye on it when they clean it. After all, you’ve come all this way to look for something that should be quite important to you.”

“…… a stud earring, from my brother.” Angela said.

Howard Lee smiled, meaning it, “It’s such a big place and there aren’t many furnishings here, so if it’s lost, you should be able to find it.”

“Diamond’s, maybe one of the guys picked it up, got greedy together and snuck it away.” Angela lowered her eyes, “Is Howard Lee suspecting me of something when he asks that?”

Howard Lee waved his hands, “No, no, no, don’t you dare think that! You’re Mr. James’ favourite woman, and you have his child, so you don’t need anything.

Howard Lee must be suspicious now that Ela has made it so obvious. But if he was suspicious, he’d better find someone to follow her and find out who was behind the five bodyguards.

“It’s good that you don’t suspect me, I have to go to the hospital today, bye.” Angela finished, opened the door and walked away.

Several bodyguards followed her.

Howard Lee watched their backs and frowned before finally making a call, “Get me some smart guys to keep an eye on Angela, she’s got five bodyguards with her, be careful when you do.”

Angela sat in the car and said coldly into her Bluetooth headset, “Is Mrs. Ela still happy that I did this?”

“You’re not as stupid as I thought you were. Okay, you have that flash drive with you, right? There’s a computer in the car, so you transfer the information on those two projects to your brother now and tell him to start those two projects as soon as possible.” Ela said.

Angela asked the bouncers for the computer and did what Ela said.

[Brother] What information?

Brother] Where did you get these two items from? Why did you suddenly send them to me?

Angela’s hand dropped to the keyboard and instead of pressing it, she inclined her head to look at the two bodyguards beside her.

One of them was watching her and the other was watching the computer screen, wary of her moving anything.

“It’s okay for you guys to spy on me, would you please keep your heads away from me? You guys are making me uncomfortable like this?”

The two bodyguards sat up straight before Angela replied to the message.

[Angela] Don’t ask so many questions, these two projects are okay, you show them to the people in the company.

“Is this ok now Mrs. Ela?” she didn’t have a camera on her but the bodyguard did and she was sure Ela had seen her chat with her brother by now.

Ela laughed, “You’ve done a great job. Well, get to the hospital and get your leg fixed, there’s not much time left for you to get it fixed.”

Angela listened to the latter comment with discomfort and ignored her, asking her bodyguard to take her to the hospital.

Roland was not in the office and she went to see her dad first.

Lorenzo is lying quietly in his bed, still handsome and elegant despite his middle age, and not at all like a businessman with a profit motive.

Even now, Angela has not figured out the reason why he pushed her brother away.

He’s a selfish little man through and through, otherwise he wouldn’t have deliberately raised them to be good-for-nothing dudes just because he was afraid the company would be taken away from her and her brother. Nor would he have been determined to send her to prison when he knew the truth about the car accident two years ago.

But this is the one person who pushed her brother out of the way in a crisis ……

Buckle up!

Angela was lost in thought when a knock came at the door.

She got up and went to the door, opened it, only to find that it was Roland who knocked.

“From what my assistant said, you came and went, so I guess you probably came to see Uncle.” Roland smiled slightly at her, “Treatment now, or in a little while?”

Angela looked back at the person in the hospital bed and stepped out, closing the door behind her, “Now.”

The two men entered Roland’s office with a couple of bodyguards. His office is not small, but with so many people coming in, it still seemed a bit crowded.

“Could I trouble a few of you to wait outside for a moment?” Roland asked a couple of bodyguards.

“You guys go out, I’ll stay here with Miss. Angela,” the head bouncer instructed a few men.

Roland frowned slightly and didn’t say anything, just took out a pair of hospital trousers and handed them to Angela, and when she had changed, he started to give her the stitches.

“My aunt didn’t have a funeral and my mum and Big Mrs. Harvey and the girls feel quite sorry for her. I wonder if it would be convenient to tell you where the mausoleum is so we can go and pay our respects.”

It was only ten days and a half before Elva died, but Angela felt as if a long time had passed.

She froze for a moment before saying, “Her suicide note said that she wanted to sprinkle her ashes inside the sea, leaving no headstone and no need to pay tribute.”

Probably she had too many ties in life and wanted to be uninhibited after her death.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Roland paused for a moment as he stuck the needle, “Sorry.”

“It’s fine.”
