Chapter 412 Definitely over the moon
The two men looked as normal, but between them, the conversation was already dark and tense. The two men are in the middle of a conversation.
“Thank you Auntie Liu for caring about Angela, but my woman, I’ll take care of her myself, I won’t bother Roland.” James said in a suppressed voice as he took a few steps closer and brushed past Roland.
Then, without looking back, he walked towards Angela.
Roland glanced back at James, his eyes flickered, his eyes paused on Angela’s for a moment, pursed his lips and walked towards the crowd.
“What did you just say to Roland?” Angela asked.
It seemed as if the two were not having a very pleasant conversation.
“Nothing, asking how your leg is recovering.” James looked indifferent as he took her hand, it was cold and he frowned slightly, “Go back and rest, you’re not needed here.”
Her hands are always cold whenever the heating is not very adequate.
“It’s okay, I’ll sit here for a while.” Going back to be alone with those bodyguards, there was no telling what Ela would ask of her.
James thought of this too, and a flash of hostility flashed across his handsome face extremely quickly, and instead of insisting, he had a hot water bag prepared for her.
Angela felt much better holding the warm water bag.
“I didn’t believe Felix when he told me how you spoil your daughter-in-law, but it’s true!” Mr. Pearson walked over with a big smile, while Mr. Delia and Mr. Brown stood beside him and followed in agreement.
“What do you call that? A cold face and a warm heart.”
“Mr. James is so clean, Miss. Angela is so lucky to have such a boyfriend!”
Angela didn’t think they were coming over just to have a family chat with James.
Now that Mr. Lawson has passed away, the Harvey family has been left in the hands of James, a junior, and the Harvey Group has recently become involved with human experimentation. …… This is arguably the weakest time in the Harvey family’s fortunes in recent decades.
I’m afraid they’ve come over to probe the Harvey family, and if this fat but aggressive bison shows any signs of weakness, they’ll attack like a pack of hungry wolves and eat them all.
“A few elders have laughed at me. But for me, it’s only right that I’m lucky to be with Angela in three lifetimes.” James said.
First Mr. Felix and Mr. Salim came to test the waters, and now it’s my turn to test the waters, and these people are really flies that can’t be dispelled when they smell something.
Disgusting, annoying, yet like a weed, ruinous.
“The young couple are so affectionate.”
“Young people nowadays just say what they like, it’s not like in our day.”
“I envy you youngsters, you look so energetic.”
Angela watched as the three men engaged James in a family conversation and then moved a little closer to the topic they wanted to ask about.
Mr. Pearson was the first one to hold back, “James, I just found out about the trouble that Felix brought to Bamboo Estate last time. I have to apologise for him here. Fortunately, you and Miss Angela are fine, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself.”
He bowed solemnly at ninety degrees and his manner looked sincere.
James looked at the scene with a cold face, “I received your apology, but I won’t accept it, is that okay?”
Mr. Pearson’s face stiffened and he smiled sarcastically, “I apologised as I should have done, you can naturally choose for yourself whether you originally forgive or not.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Thank you, Mr. Pearson, for your understanding. If Mr. Felix had been half as understanding as you, he wouldn’t have had to break his hand that day.” James spoke as if he didn’t see his embarrassment, his words still disrespectful.
Mr. Pearson could barely keep the smile off his face and gave Mr. Brown a wink.
Mr. Brown nodded imperceptibly and said, “Salim was there that day and I apologise for Mr. James if he disturbed Mr. James with little Miss Crossbow.”
“But it’s not all on him. The main Mr. James was behind bars at the time because of the human experimentation, Salim’s mother said she had to help you even if she didn’t want the Brown family, and Salim was a bit jealous that his mother was so good to you that she came to you.”
Mr. Pearson immediately picked up, “We, the Pearson family and the Harvey family, have always had a business rivalry. The Pearson family has always been second best and Felix has always felt quite stifled.”
He probably also thought it was worse when the Harvey Group was involved with human experimentation, and that’s why he brought someone in to look for trouble. It’s true that he was reckless in this case and I apologise again for him.”
After all this talk, apologies and explanations, isn’t it just to ask whether the Harvey Group has anything to do with human experimentation or not?
James kept his mouth shut about the Harvey family, “A dog bites me, I can’t just bite back like an animal. Don’t worry, Mr. Salim and Mr. Pearson, as long as they don’t come to my place to cause trouble again, I won’t behave with them in general and lose my status.”
Isn’t this a clear case of calling Felix and Salim dogs?
Both Mr. Pearson and Mr. Brown looked uncomfortable, but they were not sure about the Harvey family and did not dare to offend James.
In fact, if the Harvey Group had not been involved in human experimentation and investigated by the Mystery Department, they would not have dared to come to James to test him even if Mr. Lawson had died.
James is a late bloomer and has not been in the business for many years, but they dare not underestimate him.
The main reason he has suffered so many defeats at his hands is because he is so underestimated.
The two men couldn’t get anything out of James and started giving Mr. Delia the eye.
Mr. Delia pondered for a moment and said, “Actually, apart from apologizing, there is one more thing we came here for: in recent days, there are always some people saying that Harvey Group has something to do with human experimentation, I wonder if this is true?”
It’s no use beating around the bush with a guy like James. If you want to ask, you have to ask directly, without giving him room to evade.
Mr. BrownMr. Pearson followed suit and looked at James, waiting for his answer.
“Which ones are some of them?” James asked.
Mr. Delia said vaguely, “I think a few employees said that, I can’t quite remember.”
“Such a big matter, how can Mr. Delia take it seriously just because he heard it from a random person’s mouth?” James said, “As a junior, I have to remind Mr. Delia that the shopping mall is like a battlefield, if the information is wrong, people will die on the battlefield and the mall is going bankrupt.”
He bit off the word bankruptcy, which sent a shock through the hearts of all three men.
The Harvey family and the Chante family are the ones responsible for the mess the Smith Group is in.
But they are, after all, three families. It is not that easy for the Harvey family and Chante family to bring them down.
Besides, it has come to this point, and since people have already been offended anyway, there is no point in trying to back out.
“To be honest, it was an old boss I know who said that, but who this person is, I can’t say, otherwise I wouldn’t have the face to meet him.” Mr. Delia said.
Mr. Brown picked up on that, “James, you don’t have to be so wary, you and Sean are good friends and I’m his father, could I do you any harm? We just wanted to ask about the Harvey Group today, and if there’s anything you can’t solve, we can help.”
Mr. Pearson also laughed, “Our two companies are in competition, but it is also healthy competition, if Harvey Group really has any problems, we also help out, don’t we?”
A few people said it better than one another.
Having to deal with people like this on a daily basis, Angela felt annoyed for James just thinking about it.
In such a hypocritical world, one cannot see the heart at all.
James lowered his eyes and seemed to think for a moment, “Is it true what a few of you say?”
“Of course!” Mr. Pearson was the first to respond, with a suppressed glee in his eyes, “After all, we’ve been friends for decades, so how can we just sit back and do nothing?”
By the looks of James, is something really wrong with the Harvey family?
The Pearson family has been pinned down by the Harvey family for decades and now they’ve finally found a way to get ahead!
Mr. Brown couldn’t hold back, “James, is it true that the Harvey family is involved in human experimentation? Why didn’t you say anything about this big deal? If it had been any later, we wouldn’t have been able to help if we wanted to.”
A group of people who are clearly vultures, always wanting to eat rotting, rotten meat, but fearing scorn, must wear the skin of a lion.
Instead of four, it is even more disgusting.
James hooked his lips shallowly, but his eyes were bitter, “I do need a few people’s help, but not for the Harvey family, but for the Smith family.”
The three men stalled.
He said sincerely, “The Harvey family has recently embarked on several new projects, which you should have heard about, and I would like to take out money to help the Smith family, but I am not able to do so.”
“The families have been friends for decades after all, and I’m actually quite sad to see them like this. Luckily a few of you are caring and helpful and I’m sure the Smith family will appreciate it.”
Three people, “……”
Helping the Smith family?
You’re the one who got the Smith family into this mess, and now you’re playing the good guy?
James didn’t give them a chance to react though and shouted directly at a short distance away, “Mrs. Adeline, Mr. Pearson they said they were going to help the Smith family.”
As it was a funeral, the sound of everyone talking wasn’t too loud, so he plucked up his voice just a little, just enough for Adeline to hear.
Others heard it and looked over.
Smith family is a mess right now, and someone offers to help? Either there’s some unseemly scheme going on or they’re probably getting screwed.
Angela looked at the three of them like they were eating shit and looked down, trying desperately to hold back her laughter.
The Smith Group’s shortfall is not a small one, and even if all three companies were to take out all of their liquidity, they might not be able to plug that hole.
They certainly wouldn’t take such a large sum of money to help out, but with so many celebrity dignitaries here, it’s not that easy to renege.
Besides, the Smith family is really at the end of its rope and would never give up such an opportunity, otherwise Grandpa Smith would not have been shameless enough to use Adeline’s illegitimate child to fight for the Harvey family’s inheritance.
In short, the four families have had their fun, and Mr. Pearson and the others won’t have the energy to pester the Harvey family for a while.
