Lawson glanced at the people outside the door. The way he looked at Angela was by no means kind.
Sweat fell from Angela's forehead like rain. She lowered her head to wipe the sweat as naturally as she could.
"Sorry to disturb you, Grandpa Lawson." Felix looked at Lawson up and down. He found Lawson was in good spirits, but he was much thinner and didn't seem to be quite healthy. Seeing this, he was surprised and happy.
Lawson then took his eyes off Angela and looked at Felix, "Who are you?"
"Dad, he is from the Pearson family." On the side, Ralphie said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lawson's expression got worse as he swept a glance at Felix, "Why do you come? To check whether I'm dead or not?"
After all, Lawson was in charge of the Harvey family, so he was naturally more powerful than James. At this time, Felix only dared to say it with his head lowered, "You must be joking, Grandpa Lawson."
"Go back and tell your grandfather, whether I die or not, he would never get any benefits from us. Just stop the daydream!" Lawson said in a loud voice, "Ralphie, send him out!"
Ralphie walked up to Felix and smiled, "Felix, let's go."
"I have something to say to Grandpa Lawson, then I will leave.
In front of the three elders, Felix didn't dare to act rashly, but he was afraid that if he just left, Lawson would blame him for what happened to Angela.
Angela's pupils dilated and her breath quickened.
Lawson turned to look at Felix in an unkind way.
Before he could say anything, Felix said hurriedly, "Today, two of my bodyguards accidentally hit Miss Chante's car. When they knew she is pregnant, they were worried that something might happen to the baby in her belly, so they sent her to the hospital."
"With a delay on the road, I could only send her back now. I beg for your forgiveness, Grandpa Lawson."
Hearing that Angela was pregnant, both Raylan and Ralphie turned to look at Angela's belly at the same time. Ralphie was still smiling, but on Raylan's face, there was undisguised wariness and hostility.
Lawson looked at Felix with cold and sharp eyes, "Did your men hit Angela's car and take her away?"
Angela lowered her head and subconsciously held her breath.
She could almost figure out why Lawson got so angry. He must hate Felix for messing everything up. If it weren't for Felix, she would have already been sent into prison by now.
But in Felix's opinion, Lawson was angry because his men almost hurt Angela's baby in her belly.
He wiped the sweat from his head and said in a low voice, "They drank some alcohol and drove into Miss Chante's car by accident. But I have taken Miss Chante to the hospital for a checkup. She and the baby in her belly are fine."
He turned his head to Angela, "Right, Miss Chante?"
Lawson's eyes followed to stare on her belly, his face clouded with uncertainty.
"Yes." Being stared at by the four men at the same time, Angela did not dare to say anything at all. She was afraid that they would find her trouble if she accidentally said anything wrong.
Lawson frowned and asked in a deep voice, "The baby in your belly... When did it come?”
"The baby is two months old and it is very healthy. This car accident did not hurt it at all and it is really lucky." Felix was afraid that Lawson would blame him. In that case, his grandfather and his father definitely wouldn't let him go easily.
Lawson frowned at his sons and there was tiredness in his eyes, but he quickly set his gaze on Angela.
"Are you guys doubting me here?" Being stared at by the three men like this, Angela's fingers trembled slightly.
Ralphie smiled and said gently, "Not at all, just a casual question. Don't be nervous."
"Felix made it clear that he went to the hospital with me. I am pregnant for two months and the baby is healthy." Angela said, "Will Felix lie for me?"
Raylan said suddenly, "Maybe you are pregnant with Felix's child and want to give birth to the baby to share the inheritance!"
Lawson's face darkened instantly. It was hard to tell whether he was upset with the word "inheritance", or for the brainless guess Raylan gave, or maybe he believed Raylan's words and was upset.
"Raylan!" Ralphie said unhappily, "With advance medical science nowadays, Dad will definitely be cured! Don't say such an unlucky thing!"
Raylan seemed dissatisfied with his brother's words, but didn't say anything else.
"If I ever hear more about inheritance from you again, you won't get a penny!" Lawson yelled.
Raylan smiled obediently and comforted his dad, "Don't be angry, Dad! You know, I've been a bad student since I was a kid. I'm just too rough and don't know which words are suitable. I just said it casually; I definitely didn't mean anything else!"
"I do know you do not have bad intentions, but do not say so it in front of others. Maybe they will cause trouble to you for this." Raylan said.
Some jealousy flashed through Ralphie's eyes, but he still said with a smile, "Raylan is just inconsiderate, but he meant no harm, you know him, Dad."
