Desperate Lovers
Chapter 263 Stay Away from My Woman

The chief financial officer Morgan looked at James. His forehead was sheathed with sweat, and his face was pale, as if he would faint in the next second.

"Vice President Lee doesn't need to help James explain." Ralphie's eyes squinted with a smile, "Whether he has committed a crime or not, it is up to the law to judge it. The law will not harm the good, but it will never spare the bad." He especially emphasized 'the bad people'.

A policeman said, "This is how it is. We received a report that Mr. James Harvey was suspected of tampering with the accounts for personal gains. We come to conduct a routine investigation on you, and you don't need to be nervous." "I am upright, and not nervous." James said, "Please start."

The police officer nodded. He called his subordinates to move the accounts to the side office, and asked several auditors who were cooperating with the police to check the accounts.

Vice President Lee looked at it with a hesitant appearance. But there was a hint of sarcasm hidden under his eyes.

"It's almost time for lunch. Mr. Lee, please order some food for police officers and auditors from the accounting firm." James said.

Howard opened his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something, but finally he just sighed and went to order lunch.

Morgan wiped the sweat from his head and said goodbye.

"Wait." James called him with a faint smile, "Director Morgan, the police definitely need your cooperation. You should put aside your work these days, as cooperating with the police is our top priority now."

Director Morgan stammered, and sweat ran down like raindrops on his face. When he spoke, his voice still trembled slightly, "Do you have anything else to tell me?"

"I'm no longer the president. You can ask Ralphie if he has any orders." James said.

The viciousness in Ralphie's eyes was fleeting, "Since you have already arranged for it, what else can I say? Director Morgan should cooperate closely with the police. Don't let a rotten apple spoil the barrel in the Harvey Group." James didn't seem to know what he meant, and his expression remained unchanged.

"Okay... Okay." Morgan forced a smile, raised his head and glanced at James secretly, then he looked away quickly and left.

The president's office was emptied in an instant.

"Miss Chante, long time no see." Ralphie smiled and stretched out his hand towards Angela.

Angela looked down.

Before she could react, she saw James standing in front of her to hold Ralphie's hand, "Are you so tired recently that your memory degraded? You have seen each other in these two days."

His hands were so strong that he just grabbed the position between Ralphie's index finger and thumb.

Ralphie smiled stiffly, endured the pain and then withdrew his hand, "It seems you really like Miss Chante. I just want to shake hands with her, but you are jealous."

"Yeah." James said with a faint expression, "So if you see her again, you'd better stay away from him. Otherwise, I don't know what I will do."

Ralphie rubbed his sore hand, "Don't be kidding. Miss Chante is pregnant with our Harvey family's heir, and she will definitely marry into our family. At that time, Miss Chante and I will see each other often. How can I stay away from her?" "You know what I mean." James's eyes were slightly cold.

Felix was Ralphie's cousin. He had harassed Angela previously, partly because Ralphie encouraged him.

Ralphie looked surprised, "What did you say?"

"It's office hour. Go back to your director's office." James walked around him and sat down in the office chair.

Ralphie looked at the desk and chair without moving.

"Why are you so impatient?" James raised his eyes to look at him, "You can only sit in this position after the handover. Now go back to your director's office."

Angela sat in the guest area, poured a cup of tea and sipped it, watching this quietly.

There were many such conflicts with open and secret means in a big family. Her grandparents had only a daughter, which was an exception at that time. So she had never experienced anything like this before.

James repeatedly urged him to go back to his office, which irritated Ralphie, "James, you have no shares now. You are not even the president of the Harvey Group in name. As your cousin, I advise you not to be too rampant."

"You too." James countered, "Except my grandfather, everyone supports me to serve as the president like before. Do you know?"

"Think about how long you can be the president. You may not be removed from the president office even before the handover."

Ralphie clenched his fist, and then released it.

He put his hands on the table and leaned forward, "Thanks for your remind. But grandpa's neck injury is still not healed. What will he do to deal with your embezzlement of public funds?"

"It won't bother you." James leaned back in his chair calmly and said, "Even though you stand here for a day, you can't move into the office directly. Don't waste your energy. Go back to your office." Ralphie was speechless.

He knew he still had to handle the work in his office. Could James stop repeating it?

After Ralphie left, Angela walked to the door, and closed the door.

"If you feel bored, you can play games or surf the Internet. The network password remained the same."

James had a stack of papers on his desk. He picked up the file at the top, read it. After confirming there was nothing wrong, he signed it.

Angela sat back on the sofa, watching him deal with his business.

The sunlight came in through the window, and his angular face had an indescribable charm in the light and shadow. His slender fingers seemed to be stained with light, just like living works of art. James concentrating at his work was indeed more attractive and sexy than usual.

Angela moved on the sofa, opening her mouth to say something. But seeing him focus on the documents, she resisted.

She took a sip of tea and found the tea was cold and astringent. But after a while, it had some sweetness that was not easily noticeable.

"What do you want to say?" After James signed his name on a document, he put it away, and glanced at her.

He used to be a gentleman beyond his reach. But since he bared his heart to her, every time he looked at her, it was as if she occupied his entire world.

Being stared by him like this, Angela avoided his gaze uncomfortably, "You don't have to offend your grandfather for me."

He was the person in charge of the Harvey family and the Harvey Group. As his time was running out, you'd better not offend him anymore.☐☐
