Chapter 409 Would You Like Me?
“Is there something else?” Angela didn’t have the same mixed feelings as he did, she just felt disgusted and didn’t want to see him.
Danis had come over to see her and indeed had other things on his mind, but didn’t know how to ask.
Angela didn’t give him much time to hesitate, “I’ll leave if there’s nothing else.”
With him around, she felt as unbearably smelly as standing next to a rubbish heap.
“Wait-” Danis reached out to grab her, but his hand retracted as he met her gaze.
Angela didn’t hide her disgust with him and took several more steps back to put distance between them, “Danis, I can’t remember the last time you’ve said something you didn’t mean.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
He had said more than once that he would not appear before her again, but had not kept to his word either time.
Danis opened his mouth, but was unable to argue, and finally just let out a bitter laugh.
Angela was about to tell him to hurry up and finish and leave when she suddenly felt someone looking this way. She followed her instincts and found Cathleen standing in a crowd not far away, glancing over every now and then.
“Just say what you want, your fiancée is over there watching and I don’t want to be pointed at by her and called a vixen for seducing you.”
After all, Cathleen hadn’t done much of this with his mother.
It was obvious that he was pestering her, but in the end it was all on her head!
Danis followed her line of sight and glanced towards Cathleen, her face all bitter, “My mother and she have misunderstood you before, I apologise for them.”
“They humiliated me in front of so many people, calling me a vixen and a third party, and you think an apology on their behalf will work?” Angela sneered.
Besides, those two people had no intention of repenting, so they might as well not apologise, which seemed hypocritical and disgusting instead!
Danis fists clenched up a little, his heart seemed to be pulled together by something, depressing, dull, every beat became slow and hard.
The hurt was real and even a million apologies from him would not restore her heart to what it once was.
“The conversation has turned away again.” Angela said, “Your fiancée is still over there watching, so just say what you have to say.”
Danis looked at her and said after several attempts to speak, “You don’t have to worry, she won’t say anything.”
Angela, “I don’t have anything to do with you, why should I worry about her saying that?”
She just didn’t want to suffer this unwarranted disaster!
“She’s there, just waiting for an outcome.” Danis face was all pain, with a few moments of relief, and guilt mixed in.
Angela really wasn’t in the mood to spend any more time with him, so she went along with his question, “What was the result?”
“The Smith Group is broke and I would like …… to ask for your help to get Greyson to agree to lend some funds to the Smith family for working capital If you agree, Cathleen will stay with me, if you don’t, she will break off her engagement with me. ”
As he said this, Danis’ head dropped, hating to burrow into the ground.
He really had no shame in saying this, but he couldn’t do it if he had to watch the company go on like this ……
Angela froze for a moment before she reacted to what he had said and found it very funny.
“So let me ask you this, if it were the Chante Group in this situation right now and I went to you and asked for your help, would you say yes?”
The Smith Group’s cash flow problems are not just a little bit of a problem, but a gap of that magnitude can’t just be filled.
“I’ll say yes!” Danis didn’t hesitate.
He owed her so much that if she asked, he would say yes!
Angela tugged at her lips, “What if your parents and Jessica refuse?”
Danis was dumbfounded.
“You mustn’t be able to help me with them stopping it, and at the end of the day you’ll feel guilty at best and will come to me and apologise and will say you’ll try to make it up to me. You always say more than you do, don’t you?” Angela asked.
Danis’ throat rolled and he opened his mouth, but no half-hearted sound came out.
She was absolutely right.
“Danis, there’s no way I can help you.” Su Ran said, “Without James and also Grandpa Thompson’s help this time, our Chante Group will only be ten times, a hundred times worse than you!”
“Not to mention, Jessica set me up and got me two years in jail and a broken leg! Even if Chante Group had the power to help you, I wouldn’t, it’s retribution for your greed!”
She is not a saint, nor can she be gracious enough to help the enemy who did her in!
Danis had predicted this outcome and should have been disappointed, but felt unexpectedly relieved.
He tried his best, but it didn’t work out and he didn’t owe Angela any more.
“Okay, I got it.” Danis nodded, turned to go, took two steps, and then turned back.
He looked at Angela, “If, if I had chosen to trust you two years ago, would you have stayed with me?”
Ever since he learned the truth, he had always wondered about it, and he always felt like there was a roadblock in his heart unless he asked for a result.
“No.”
“Why?”
“I don’t like you.”
Danis’ amber eyes were dull for a moment, smiling helplessly and a little bitterly, “So no matter what I do, you don’t like me, do you?”
“Yes.” Angela didn’t leave him with half an illusion, she had never had a liking for him as a man or woman, otherwise she would have said yes long ago after he had been chasing her for so long.
