Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

When he said that, Angela still didn’t quite believe it. She asked what Mr. Lawson had done to ensure that her identity was not revealed.

Mr. Lawson was impatient and a little angry at being questioned by her in this way, but for the moment the matter was only for her to do, and he ended up explaining it reluctantly.

There was really nothing wrong with his preparations and Angela hesitated and agreed. mr. Lawson then asked the carer to take her to James, just as he had done last time.

Only Angela had been out for over four hours this time and James hadn’t seen her.

Only Howard Lee came out of the villa and made a polite gesture to her, “Sorry Miss. Randi, Mr. James is not in a good mood these days and does not want to receive outsiders.”

Angela and Mr. Lawson both felt that James would not take her word for it easily, but never expected that they would not even see anyone.

She hesitated and asked, “Would it be convenient for you to take me to see Mr. James’ mother, or anyone else from the Harvey family? It’s really important.”

Howard Lee’s eyes flashed and he said helplessly, “I’m really sorry, Mr. James has explained that I am not allowed to take you to anyone.”

“I know, please.” Angela frowned and gestured for the caregiver to take her away.

If that route doesn’t work, perhaps …… she could try to contact Mrs. Harvey, whose words James should listen to.

But almost as the thought flashed through her mind, Howard Lee called out to her from behind, “Miss. Randi, please wait, there’s one more thing.”

“Hmm?”

“Mr. James asked me to tell you that he doesn’t like pestering people. You’d better not try to contact other Harvey family people or ……” said Howard Lee, “This had nothing to do with you in the first place, so you’d better stay out of it.”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Angela understood what was meant.

If she had disobeyed James’ instructions, he would never have let her go.

The sky was cloudy when Angela left the house, and now small flakes of snow had begun to fall. A few flakes of snow fell on her eyelashes, which quickly melted and became dense and somewhat cool.

“I know.” Angela lightly smoked her saliva and moistened her dry throat, “I’ve done enough to repay Miss. Angela’s kindness, this matter, I will not interfere again.”

She said to the caretaker, “Let’s go.”

What to do next will have to be discussed with Mr. Lawson back at the office.

“Okay.” The carer responded and pushed Angela away.

It took until the two got into the car and it disappeared from Howard Lee’s sight. Only then did he pat the snowflakes off his shoulder, sigh lightly and enter the cottage.

The living room is still a pile of bottles strewn about and the smell of alcohol is overpowering.

James sat on the floor clutching a bottle of wine, pouring it into his mouth one at a time, his long unwashed hair looking a little greasy.

He has a slight cleanliness problem, and it’s almost inconceivable that such a thing could happen to him.

“Gone?” James put the bottle down and looked at Howard Lee with an expressionless face, except that there wasn’t as much blood under his eyes as there had been a few days before.

Howard Lee nods his head.

James snorted coldly, with disgust on his face, and picked up the bottle again.

“Mr. James,” Howard Lee hesitated, but finally couldn’t resist, “I think it’s you who should be mistaken about Miss. Randi, she doesn’t look like someone who approaches you with an ulterior motive. Are you really not going to let her in and hear her out on the specifics?”

James continued to drink as if he hadn’t even heard what he said.

Howard Lee continued, “And what she said last time about money laundering, I think there’s a good chance it’s true. Are you really not going to check it out at the company? It wouldn’t do us any harm to just follow her lead and investigate, even if it’s not true.”

Probably annoyed with him, James turned his back on him and continued drinking.

Howard Lee came round to him and tried to grab the bottle, but before he could touch it, he withdrew his hand. He grabbed it anyway and had to give it back the next second.

He said in a serious tone, “If you don’t want to investigate, you can leave it to me, and I’ll do it. Many people have given you unreliable leads for the sake of the shares and resources in your hands, and you’ve looked into them. Why can’t you let me look into the clues Miss. Randi gives you?”

To find out if someone is using Harvey Group for money laundering, you must check the accounts and some of the things that go on in terms of money transactions.

The finance director could have checked, but he would never have helped Howard Lee without James’ orders.

Howard Lee has access to some of the accounts, but some of them he doesn’t have access to, otherwise he would have gone and checked them out long ago and wouldn’t have had to be here to try and persuade James.

“It’s just like those women who want to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to me because they bear a slight resemblance to Angela. Is it necessary to check the clues she gives out?” James had a sneer in his brow.

Howard Lee, “But ……”

“No need to talk, get out!” James was getting impatient.

Howard Lee sighed softly as Mr. James became more and more dishevelled since Angela’s death.

Not only is he disheveled, but now he has a strange temper and often makes decisions that are not rational at all, such as dealing with the money laundering trail …… really doesn’t look like the Mr. James he was before.

“Alright then, take care of your rest, don’t drink day and night, your body won’t be able to take it if you go on like this. I’ll go back to the office first, there’s still a bunch of things to take care of.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

James hiccuped and tilted his head back to drink, ignoring him at all.

Howard Lee sighed again and went out.

There was a snap as the door closed. It was half an hour before James craned his head to glance at the door.

After making sure Howard Lee was gone, he stood up with the bottle, walked to the bathroom, poured it all down the toilet and flushed it. Opened the window again for a while to disperse the smell, then threw the empty bottle on the living room floor.

Had acid thrown in my face ……

Randi…… Randi……

Angela ……

Heh!

“Ha …… Randi …… ha ha ha ha ……,” James tilted his head and covered his face with his hands, as if laughing, and like he was crying.

–

Just like last time, Mr. Lawson was waiting for her in the ward when Angela returned.

“Well?” Mr. Lawson asked with restrained anxiety as he stood up just as Angela entered the door.

Angela shook her head, “Didn’t even see anyone.”

“What’s going on? How come we haven’t even seen anyone?” Mr. Lawson snapped, “What the hell is going on in James’ head?”

Angela repeated roughly what Howard Lee had said and concluded, “Maybe if I had just said at the beginning that I was going for what he was paying, he wouldn’t have even seen me.”

Mr. Lawson snorted, “What the whole upper class out there doesn’t know about, and you, a nameless, faceless commoner, knows about? What do you think James would think? He’ll just get you killed as an accomplice of that big man?”
