Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

For three minutes straight, no one came to the door.

Luna’s lips tightened, the unease growing inside her, and she was thinking about which of her acquaintances was on the police side when her phone rang.

It was James calling.

She picked up the phone and James’ slightly cool voice came through on the other end, “Where are you, is Angela with you?”

“No …… I was about to call the police.”

–

Hearing this, a touch of hostility surfaced under James’ eyes, and he simply hung up the phone, then dialed the number of the head bodyguard’s few men.

But invariably, these calls, which were previously reachable, now alerted that the number was empty.

There was movement on his grandmother’s side, but instead of following the previous plan, Angela was taken away, unsure of what she wanted to do.

James clutched his phone, veins dancing on his forehead.

Shouldn’t have promised Angela in the first place to follow this plan and catch the big fish behind!

If anything happened to Angela, even if Ela was his own grandmother, he would never let her go!

The cold air in the car spreads rampantly, squeezing one’s nerves.

The driver didn’t know what was going on but was still shocked to see him like this in the rear view mirror, “He …… Mr. James, where are we going now?”

“My grandmother’s.” James’ face was the same as usual, but waves of shock were churning under his eyes, each word almost squeezing out of his throat.

The driver answered, not daring to say a word more, and immediately started the car and drove to Ela’s villa.

On the way, James called his two uncles and asked them to bring someone over to Villa Ela.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

When the car stopped in front of the villa, James got out with a blank face and walked straight to the villa. The driver followed in his footsteps.

“Mr. James?” the maid was a little surprised to see him, “You will now sit in the drawing room for a moment, I will go up to Mrs. Ela.”

Without even looking at her, James went inside, then coldly picked up an antique vase and slammed it on the floor.

After smashing this one, he didn’t even blink as he picked up another vase.

The maid, already stunned, saw that he was about to smash it and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, “Mr. James, this vase was auctioned off by Mrs. Ela for several million dollars, she usually likes this vase the most.”

“Most like?” James asked in a cold voice as he held the vase.

The maid was so sweaty from his stare that cold sweat broke out on her back and she shivered, “Yes, this vase is Mrs. Ela’s favorite. And the ornaments, all the antiques she auctioned off, she usually likes this the most ……”

Before the words were finished, James sneered and slammed the vase in his hand onto the floor, going back to get the pieces the maid had mentioned.

These are porcelain and if they hit the floor, it would be all over!

If Mrs. Ela found out that he had told Mr. James that she liked them, he would be in for a treat.

The maid’s eyes were red with fear and tears were welling up in her eyes, “Mr. James, these you ……”

“Get out!” James plucked at him with cold eyes, like a malevolent ghost crawling out of hell, vicious, insidious and piercing to the bone.

The maid’s mouth was half open, but she could not speak, and her hands and feet could not stop shivering, not daring to stop him again.

As the others watched the scene, they were even more afraid to step forward to stop the others, for fear that James would take it out on them.

The servants’ hearts skipped a beat with each clatter of antiques. Someone had gone to call Ela and Noah, while the others stood in the living room, not even daring to breathe, their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

Ela was removing her make-up and let Noah come over first.

“What’s wrong with James? What’s with all the tantrums?” Noah’s face flashed a fleshy look of pain extremely quickly when he saw the antique pieces all over the floor, then smiled and walked up to James, trying to pat him on the shoulder.

But the shoulder missed and he was picked up by James clutching his collar.

His feet left the ground and his neck was stuck tightly in the collar of his shirt, he couldn’t breathe and was instantly flushed from the difficulty of breathing.

Noah couldn’t keep the smile off his face any longer and desperately pulled James’s hand away from him; if he continued like this, he felt he would suffocate and die.

But his strength was no match for James’s, and instead of breaking free, he was lifted a little higher. The collar tightened around his neck and he instinctively began to spit his tongue out, in the worst possible way.

“Where’s Angela?” James clutched the collar of his shirt, his gaze fixed on Noah like hardened nails.

Noah’s mind was so blank from the lack of oxygen that he couldn’t think about anything at all. He just wanted to break James’ hand and take a few breaths.

“I’ll ask you again, where is Angela?” James’ eyes were a little bloodshot, his eyes red, not at all like the business wizard who always had a plan.

Ela had just reached the staircase when she saw the scene. She stopped applying the mask and just tore it off and threw it on the floor.

“James, you let him go!”

She trotted down and tugged at James’s hand, but his hand was steady as an eagle’s claw, half immovable.

James twisted his head, gave her a cold look, then threw Noah heavily to the floor with a thud.

Noah fell to the ground, his tailbone hurting from the fall, but he couldn’t be bothered to cover his throat and cough hard. For a moment, he really felt like he was going to die!

“How are you, darling?” Ela knelt down and patted him on the back worriedly.

Noah covered his throat, coughing as he greedily breathed in the air, choking so hard he couldn’t speak at all.

“Where’s Angela?” James looked down at them, his crimson eyes tinged with endless hostility, “Grandma better think about it or ……”

He sneered, his knife-like gaze falling on Noah, “I’ll make his life a living hell!”

“How dare you?!” Ela yelled in exasperation as she stood up.

James snorted coldly and kicked the newly risen Noah to the ground, his leather shoes stomping on him, “You can try it, I dare you, or I dare you not.”

Threatening people, thinking she’s the only one who can?

Ela only lost her composure for a moment and then quickly recovered, “I don’t even know Angela, at best I know of her from you. She’s gone, what are you doing here looking for me?”

She looked as regal and elegant as ever, but the clear slap marks on her face gave her a little more than a touch of distress.

James would never ask one thing more than three times. Seeing that she was still playing dumb, he bent down coldly, picked up a broken piece of vase and then picked Noah up.

“What are you trying to do!” Seeing this, there was no way Ela could manage to be calm.

James ignored her too and just strangled Noah with one hand, then took the shard in the other and went to slit his throat.

“James, what are you mad about? He’s your grandfather!” Ela came over and went to yank James, but couldn’t do it at all.
