Chapter 143 I Want to Treat Angela's leg

Jessica said ok to James, and then to the waiter,

"That's it for the time being. If there is anything we need for a while, I will tell you later. Thank you." "You are welcome, your meal will be served soon."

The waiter left after that.

James crossed his slender legs and leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"I heard that the food in this Japanese restaurant is delicious, but I haven never come here before."

Did you choose this restaurant without hesitation because you have tasted its food before?"

James lifted his eyelid to look at her, "No. This restaurant is the closest to the company."

"Looks like the you are busy in company, so please take more care of yourself."

Jessica squeezed her hand slightly and smiled,

"Work is not as important as your health."

James smiled, "I'm not that busy in the company. I just don't want to waste time on something and some people. It's not worth spoiling my mood."

Jessica was a little sad and didn't speak any more.

After a little while, the waiter served the dished.

"The sashimi is fresh, you can try it, James."

Jessica picked up a slice of raw fish with communal chopsticks and put it on the plate in front of James.

Glanced at the sashimi, James did not move or speak any more.

Jessica ate in silence, then wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, "I heard Angela had an accident around one or two a.m. in the morning. Do you have under-eye dark circles because you have been helping her all night?" "I was up all night."

James exchanged his legs, "But it's not all about her."

Jessica's eyes flickered, with a surprise flashing under her eyes. She asked with a smile,

"Apart from Angela, is there anything else you need to deal with overnight?"

"Hehe."

James sneered, "How many meals I have to eat in a day? What do I eat, how many times do I go to the bathroom... do you want to know all of that as well?"

"I'm just concerned about you with, but there is nothing more. I won't ask you such questions if you don't like."

Jessica laughed mockingly, then said, "Actually, I came to see you today because of my grandfather."

James propped his elbows on the table, and his eyes teasing slightly, "Hm?"

"You...should have heard all about my grandfather, right?"

This was really not a good thing, so Jessica lowered her eyes. Although her expression was normal, her earlobes were extremely red.

James tapped his fingers on the tabletop, "I haven't heard of it. I don't have so many friends like you to easily get the whereabouts of others and something messy."

Jessica's face flushed red. She was embarrassed and took a bite of sashimi with chopsticks. It took half a minute before her expression returned to normal.

She swallowed what was in her mouth and said, "My grandfather's matter is very serious, and it is related to your Dream Club, haven't you heard of it?" "Dream Club is just a small company under the Harvey Group. I can't manage all the small things in it."

James said.

Jessica frowned slightly. "There is a lady named Timothy in the Dream Club. She drugged my grandfather and is now pregnant with my grandfather's child, so I want to ask you for this person." "I have some impression of this Timothy. If I remember correctly, she is twenty years old. But your grandfather is almost 70 years old...she actually drugged your grandfather?"

James placed his hands on his knees and leaned his body back slightly against the chair.

Jessica clenched her palms and laughed,

"It should be, because my grandfather was never too attached to such a lascivious woman."

"If he doesn't care, why do you want this woman from me?" James asked with a light laugh. Jessica stunned.

"Since she's an employee of my Dream Club and did something illegal like drugging, why don't you send her over to the police station and let the police handle this matter.

I won't be partial if it's true about her drugging, and then she should go to jail."

James said.

Jessica stunned again and remained speechless for a moment. Her expression changed, showing rare irritability and embarrassment

James sit upright, resting his elbows on the table, leaning forward slightly, "What do you think, Jessica?"

He chuckled, "Is it fair to deal with it like this?"

"This is not a serious matter, and my grandfather is a public figure, so we don't go to the police station to report it. It is just to avoid being reported unscrupulously by some reporters." Jessica forced a smile.

"Never mind."

James pretended not to see her wretchedness and said,

"In terms of the social status of the Harvey family, the Smith family, and the Lewis family, no reporter would have the courage to report something untrue to earn a gimmick."

He paused for a moment and looked at Jessica indifferently, "But if it's the truth, it's hard to say if it will be reported and how many people will report it."

Silence.

Three waiters came up to put the shrimp and sushi on the table, and told them the dishes were all served and then left silently.

The maid who sits cautiously next to Jessica sounded confused. Now the maid noticed that both of them were silent, so she was fidgeting in the middle.

She got up and stood behind Jessica, which made her feel better, but being within James's gaze made her feel not so good again.

The two of them faced each other silently for a while, and in the end Jessica broke the silence, "The Lewis family values blood tie, so no matter how Miss Timothy is pregnant with my grandfather's child, I will take her away. After all, the child is a descendant of the Lewis family, please consider it." "It's not impossible for you to take Timothy away if you want to." James said.

"I don't want Angela's leg treatment to go wrong because of you."

Jessica froze for a moment and said bitterly,

"It is an unquestionable moral truth for anyone with a killing intention to pay for what she owed."

She looked down at her leg, "Angela failed to kill me two years ago, but broke one of my legs. Now you say you want to treat Angela's leg. Don't you think it's too unfair to me?"

The maid who has been with Jessica for many years was also anxious. "Mr. James, you two family have made a good relationship, but you did it for a murderer, it would be too much." "I've said many times that we all know perfectly well what happened then."

James minced his lips and said,

"And after a while, you can stand up again, just like ordinary people."

He considered treating her in her own way to record Jessica's words as evidence. But she was very cautious and never directly indicated that the car accident that year was her design. "But I can't dance anymore!"

Jessica collected the smile at the corner of her mouth and said word by word,

"I'm sorry James, no matter how generous I am, I can't be indifferent to Angela's leg treatment."
