Chapter 485 Grand Finale III
It was against the rules for James to kill someone in the street, but he wasn’t a soldier and was doing that at the time to avoid causing more harm.
And he was instrumental in the capture of Minister Durwyn, who was eventually exonerated and received a government commendation, an offer of a tax break for the Harvey Group, and a host of other benefits.
But James refused all of them, “Don’t sentence Minister Durwyn to death, I don’t want any of these benefits, and I’ll give 20 per cent of the Harvey Group’s annual net profits to the state.”
Minister Durwyn had set him up step by step, putting Angela through this, and it would have been too cheap to just let him die.
He wants Minister Durwyn to live like Jessica and repent forever for the things he did!
Twenty percent of Harvey Group’s net profit is not a small amount.
The State Treasury is in considerable need and there are many good projects for the benefit of the people that cannot be implemented, in the final analysis, because there is no money.
The government, having discussed the matter, eventually agreed to his request. But explicitly Minister Durwyn was still sentenced to death, only instead of shooting him, they dealt with him as James wanted.
And as a thank you to the Harvey Group, many upcoming government projects have been handed over to the Harvey Group.
But there is one more delicate matter to deal with, and that is the matter of the Harvey Group’s alleged human experimentation.
If James is indeed disposed of, the next person to take over as chairman of Harvey Group may not agree to hand over twenty percent of Harvey Group’s net profits to the state.
While everyone was worried about this, Mr. Lawson took it upon himself to approach the government and take over everything.
“The funding to conduct the human experiments was approved by me and had nothing to do with James or the Harvey Group. The Harvey Group was not involved in anything other than putting up the money, and James had no knowledge of it.”
“As for the doctors who were later sent to participate in the human experiments, part of them I hired from outside and part of the others arranged to go there. Anything else you want to know, just ask me, no need to go back to James and the Harvey Group.”
–
Angela was still recuperating in hospital when she heard that Mr. Lawson had come forward to confess to the crime.
She was surprised for a moment before she looked back and asked James, “He would be so kind?”
She still felt that a man like Mr. Lawson would not have done such a self-sacrificing thing.
“Of course not.” James said, “My offer to give twenty percent of the Harvey Group’s annual net profits to the government has caused my great aunt and the others to be upset. They want to use the human experimentation thing to get someone to take me away and replace me with Ralphie as president and my great aunt as board president.”
The bottom of his eyes cooled a little, with a bit of sarcasm, “In grandpa’s eyes, the eldest aunt is a daughter, not a Harvey family member. As for Ralphie, she is not a member of the Harvey family in the first place. How could Grandpa let two people from outside the family run the Harvey family?”
That’s why Grandpa stepped in and took responsibility for everything so that James wouldn’t be taken away and the Harvey Group would fall into someone else’s hands.
Angela lowered her eyes for a moment and thought, “You offered to hand over so much profit each year, not just so that Minister Durwyn wouldn’t get the death penalty, but because you guessed this, didn’t you?”
James didn’t make a sound, acquiescing.
There was no way he was going to let a time bomb like Grandpa stay with him, even if he didn’t have long to live. Before getting married to Angela, he had to rule out anything that might prevent their wedding from going ahead properly.
Angela drew in a cold breath; with a mind like his, it made sense that she wouldn’t be able to run away from him in the first place.
“Afraid of me?” James frowned slightly at the sight of her pale face, not even panicking for a moment when faced with Minister Durwyn, but panicking a little now.
Angela felt a little amused to see him like this, she nestled into his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist, “You’re my man, even if you’re good, you’re still dealing with other people, what am I afraid of?”
It was just a little surprising to know that he had everything under control from start to finish.
James breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her continue, “If you’re going to be scared, you should be scared of me, this face I have now, I’m scared even looking at myself.”
“Whatever you become, you are the most beautiful in my heart.” James carefully cupped her face and kissed her on the lips.
She saw her bruised face reflected in his pupils and stiffened, subconsciously trying to push him away, only to have him hold her tighter.
He clasped her waist and pried her lips apart, deepening the kiss a little. Everything about her mesmerised him, his breathing heavier, his eyes lustful, his hands sliding in along the hem of her dress.
His hand trembled and retracted as he touched all the scars, his heart so dull he could barely breathe.
With so many wounds, how much pain must she have been in?
He stopped abruptly and Angela’s eyes flashed a glimmer of gloom as she avoided his kiss, “Isn’t that …… hard to see?”
“It’s not ugly, it’s just that the wound hasn’t healed yet and I’m afraid I’ll hurt you.” The way she humbled herself like that pierced James’ heart.
He twisted her face and gave her a peck on the lips, his voice tinged with the huskiness of lust, “Not afraid of pain? I want you.”
By the time the words left his mouth, he had kissed her neck and licked it.
Angela shrank sensitively, the loss she had just felt long ago swept away, “I’m …… not fit right now.”
She was all wounded and could not cooperate with him.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll dislike you? I’ll prove it? Hmm?” James gently pushed her down on the hospital bed, lifted her hospital gown and kissed her on the high side.
The two bodies were pressed together and Angela could feel the reaction in his body; he was definitely not just talking, he was really trying to prove it to her.
Her heart was sore and swollen with shame and bashfulness, “He Han …… mmm ……”
He unbuttoned her underwear and kissed her unhindered on her sensitive spot, she subconsciously grabbed his hair, her body arched and a soft, seductive gasp escaped her throat.
James tilted his head to look at the tears flooding her eyes, the corners of his lips hooked slightly and he sucked heavily on her neck, his voice husky, “You want it.”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
He licked his lips, which looked extraordinarily red from the kiss, and ran his fingers down her trousers to the bottom.
“Don’t …… I’m really not square …… right now,” Angela grabbed his hand with her face burning, and before she could finish her sentence, she heard the door snap open.
Her pupils crinkled and before she had time to react, James had rolled off her and lay down beside her, then took the covers and pulled them over both of them.
These had just been done when the person who opened the door also came in.
Greyson was in front and was explaining to Frank behind him, “I can’t do this, you’d better talk to Angela yourself.”
He finished before looking at Angela and James in the hospital bed, surprised, “Why are you both lying in bed, isn’t it crowded?”
The beds are all single beds and it would still be cramped if two people were sleeping together.
