Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self by Fleur Delacour

Chapter 465 Awaiting Your Arrival

James felt a pulsating ache in his arms and wrists, frustration surging through him, his face flushed with anger. “Angela!” His glare dripped with disdain, and features contorted in displeasure. Oliver’s grip held firm as James shot a glance at Angela.

Seated casually across the table, Angela had James nearly pressed against its surface. “What’s the matter?” she asked nonchalantly, scrutinizing him.

It had been a while since she last saw James, expecting some growth, but his impulsive behavior caught her off guard..

As tensions rose, James‘ composed facade shattered. Angela remained oblivious to his turmoil. Mentally prepared for the meeting, James aimed to stay calm. However, an unexpected encounter with Florence downstairs, followed by her coercion to join them upstairs, ignited his anger like a firestorm.

In the face of Angela’s taunts and icy stare, James erupted like a volcano, his frustration bubbling to the surface. Adding insult to injury, Oliver effortlessly subdued James‘ outburst, leaving him seething with frustration.

“Release me!” James demanded through gritted teeth, his once–immaculate suit now crumpled and his meticulously styled hair in disarray. Angela, seemingly innocent, shrugged off his plea. “I didn’t tie you up, so how can I release you?”

Oliver, unable to contain his amusement, chuckled softly at the absurdity of the situation. However, he quickly intervened, his tone cold and authoritative. “Mrs. Lawson wouldn’t lay a hand on you; she deems you unclean.”

Sensing the need to diffuse the tension, Angela decided to put an end to the spectacle. With exams looming and her time with Jonathan precious, she had no patience for drawn–out confrontations with inconsequential individuals.

With a critical gaze fixed on the flushed James, Angela cut to the chase, her tone tinged with impatience. “Is there anything else you wish to convey?”

James, undeterred, issued a stern warning, feeling the numbness creep up his pinned arm. “Order your people to release me promptly or prepare to face legal action.”

Angela’s response was nonchalant, her laughter light. “Feel free to sue me. Oliver, hold him for another two minutes before releasing him.”
