Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

Greyson picked up Luna’s ID card, keys and other important items. Then he went out with Angela, Luna and James.

Before getting in the car, Greyson suddenly said, “By the way, Angela and Luna, let me tell you something interesting!”

“Didn’t James wait in the private room anxiously? So we went to the stairwell to take a puff, and guess what we found?”

There was a noise behind James. Luna accidentally hit the car when she was getting in the car.

“Dear, why are you so clumsy today? Does it hurt? Let me take care for you!” Greyson was very worried.

Angela glanced at Luna and asked Greyson slowly, “What did you see?”

“Two big guys!” Greyson hissed, “When we got there, they quickly hid something behind them! But it’s no use hiding. I smelled the smell of ether. They must have wanted to cover someone’s nose with handkerchiefs and take people away silently after that person fell unconscious!”

He had seen a lot of such tricks!

Angela had a cold sweat on her back. She turned stiffly to look at Luna, but found that she didn’t even look at her at all.

Angela thought, ‘If she had gone to the stairwell with her sister-in-law, had she been taken away by the two men now?

What did Luna want to do?!

“I even told Angela to talk at the stairwell in the beginning. Fortunately, we didn’t go there. It’s too dangerous.” Luna smiled, but the smile on her face looked stiff.

“Indeed, it’s very dangerous!” Greyson was not a detailed person so he didn’t realize that the atmosphere here was strange, “Angela, you are beautiful. Don’t go to remote places alone in the future so that no one could do anything bad to you! Remember this, okay?”

Angela licked her dry lips and said, “Sometimes it doesn’t matter if the place is remote or not, sometimes it could be that person was already being targeted before they go to remote places. Am I right, Luna?”

“Everywhere is dangerous for beautiful girls.” Luna skillfully answered the question. Then she turned to urge Greyson, “Our children are still at home. I wonder if they are awake now? Let’s hurry back.”

Greyson waved goodbye at James and Angela then he drove his car and left.

On the way back, he suggested, “I’m feeling happy today, I don’t want to go to work. Dear, how about we go out and have fun today?”

His wife usually liked to go out, but he had been busy recently and hadn’t accompanied her to go out to have fun.

“Our children are home.” Luna looked out of the window, she was a little absent-minded.

“What’s the matter? Isn’t someone watching them at home? Dear, why don’t we go to the aquarium? Recently, there was an internet-famous big white whale in the aquarium. The whale seemed to be very cute. You must like it!”

Greyson suggested happily.

But Luna was not very interested, “Greyson, why don’t you go back to the company. The news report to clear the Chante family’s name hasn’t been released yet. I’m always afraid that something will go wrong when it’s almost over just like what happened to the Smith family!”

Greyson thought what Luna said was reasonable. After taking her home, he drove to the company.

After seeing him off, Luna anxiously went upstairs and made a phone call.

“I did as you said, but Angela said that she wanted to avenge my mother-in-law. She wanted to stay with James and wait for an opportunity to avenge. No matter what I say, she doesn’t change her thoughts. What should I do now?”

…

Inside the supermarket.

“Sorry, miss, your card has been declined and can’t be used. Would you like to use another card or pay by other means?” Asked the supermarket cashier.

Jessica took the card and stuffed it into her wallet. She pressed the brim down again, “I’ll use wechat pay.”

She remembered that there were a few thousands dollars in her wechat account.

But after she took out her mobile phone, she found that her wechat account was reported too many times and she could not log into her account.

The people waiting in line to check out had been impatient–

“The lady in front, would you please check out quickly? I have something urgent to do later. Thank you.”

“If you want to buy something, just quickly buy it; if you don’t, then leave. What’s going on at the front?”

“There’s no more place to line up in the back. The one in front, please check out quickly!”

The cashier could only ask politely again, “Miss, what kind of payment method would you like to use?”

“Sorry, I don’t want these anymore.” Jessica had no cash in her wallet. She couldn’t use the money from her bank cards nor the money in her wechat account. She had to leave empty handed.

“If you don’t want to buy anything, leave quickly. It’s a waste of other people’s time!” Somebody was complaining behind her.

Jessica had never encountered a situation where she had no money to pay the bill and it was ridiculed. She felt very embarrassed and she put her head down and wanted to leave quickly.

But unexpectedly, she accidentally hit a man. Her cap and sunglasses were knocked off.

Since there was noise here, many people glanced over and said–

“Damn, isn’t this Jessica of the Smith group? She looked prettier in real life than in photos!” “What’s the use of looking pretty? ‘The beauty is always evil’ this statement best describes her! I won’t even want to sleep with her even if it’s for free. I’m afraid I won’t even know how I will die!”

“She planned a car accident to frame other, then she tried to commit suicide to win our sympathy, how shameless!”

“Didn’t she pretend to be disabled? I wish that she would really get hit by a car and become disabled!”

Every word and sentence was like a needle stabbing Jessica’s heart. Jessica felt like her heart was about to break!

All she ever heard from childhood was compliments, but since Angela got out of prison, things had been getting worse and worse!

Jessica bit her lips and forced tears from the corners of her eyes. She quickly picked up her cap, put on her sunglasses and ran out of the supermarket.

Many people followed her, videotaped her, said some insulting or critical words, there were even some who threw something at her.

When she finally got rid of those people, her legs were already tired and weak.

She did not pretend to be disabled, she was really disabled. Even if she looked like a normal person now, she was still different from a normal person.

Jessica sat in the dark at the staircase and called her father. He knew her best all this while.

“Dad, I…” Her call was accepted. She just opened her mouth and was interrupted by the other side of the call.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Jessica, I understand why you did this, but I can’t forgive you. Do you know how much the Smith family lost because of your wrong information and analysis? Because of what you did, the Smith group has gone backwards for four or five years!”

Jessica said softly, “Dad, I know I’m wrong. In the future, I will never do irrational things against James and Angela. As long as you believe me, I can make up for these losses.”

“That’s what you said when you bought the Chante group’s shares!” Edward gnashed his teeth, “I’m busy and have to clean up the messes you made. Don’t call me again!”

“Dad, I…” The call was hung up.

Jessica called again several times. Her calls couldn’t reach her father anymore. It seemed that her father had blocked her phone number.

She wiped the corners of her eyes, scrolled over the contact list and called one by one. No one answered her phone call at all. Otherwise, even if they did answer her call, they hung up immediately, as if she were a plague.

Finally, all that was left was her brother’s phone number that she hadn’t called yet.

Jessica’s eyelashes blinked quickly a few times. Her hands trembled as she pressed the number.
