Chapter 706: Mia hold Grudges.
James released a heavy breath as he looked down at Angelina sleeping peacefully on the bed like a baby.
"I promise to dig every single thing for you to protect your family, Angelina. I love you." James said caressing her hairs.
He got up from the couch and kissed her forehead. Covered her well with the quilt and walked towards the door.
He looked at her one last time before opening the door and stepping out of the room then closed the door behind his back.
As he was about to walk away and looked up, he noticed Lucas sitting on the couch a little away from James and Angelina's room. Lucas elbow supporting the hand of the couch and his fingers caressing his forehead as he looked up at sound of the door and noticed James standing in front of the door.
James sighed as he saw Lucas looking at him with some expression as if he is trying to find some answers by looking into James.
James walked towards Lucas as James understood that Lucas is waiting for some answers from him.
"Lucas..." James called and Lucas signalled with his hand to him to have a seat.
Without complianing, James sat down with a sigh.
"I guess, You have some questions for me." James said and Lucas folded his hands on his chest.
"I didn't say anything yet..." Lucas replied.
"I noticed the way you look at me in our room. You probably confused about how Angelina suddenly reacted." James said and Lucas nodded.
"Yeah... I... Was quite taken a back... Is she alright?" Lucas asked and James nodded his head in yes.
"Yes. She is alright. Sleeping peacefully." James answered.
"That's good then." Lucas replied as he released a breath.
"Umm... Yeah." James said.
"Is there anything that you... Want to tell me?" Lucas asked as he raised his eyebrows and James looked up at him and slowly nodded his head in yes.
Lucas looked straight into his eyes raising his eyebrows while James looked around.
"Umm... Can we talk... Privately? Somewhere else?" James as he scratched the back of his neck and Lucas nodded his head.
Lucas got up from the couch and walked towards his bedroom and James just followed him behind to his room.
They both got inside and Lucas closed the door behind him as James walked inside and sat down on the couch.
"What is it?" Lucas asked.
"Actually... Umm..." James stuttered.
"What happened, James?" Lucas asked and James looked up at him.
"Angelina doesn't panic attack often... She got it this time because she was worried about you all... Thinking that, she is at fault... And guilty for something she is not fault or guilty." James answered making Lucas frowned.
"Can you tell me clearly what happened?" Lucas asked and James nodded his head in yes.
"Mia came here... But the guards stopped her from entering inside since Martin warned the security to not let anyone inside the mansion. So, she was stopped at the Main Gate. I guess, she called Johnson but he didn't answer his phone and so, she called Uncle Robert. But he left his phone on the coffee table in the lounge." James said and Lucas frowned.
"Mia was here?" Lucas asked and James nodded his head in yes.
"Angelina picked up the call. Mia requested... Well, I think... Quite demanded to the security to let her inside. But, you know Angelina... She said to the security to not let her inside the Mansion no matter what...
Mia got angry at her and yelled on Angelina. Well, Angelina fired back at her. Mia was angry and said, she will make Angelina regret." James answered as he sighed.
"Then?" Lucas asked.
"Well... It was all good until Angelina wanted me to call the reporter to get to know more information about from whom he got the pictures of Samantha shot... I did call my investigator just to get the news that the reposter dead." James answered making Lucas's eyes wide in shock.
"What? He died? How? When?" Lucas started shooting his questions with his shocked face.
"Yeah. He is dead... Few hours back... And Angelina think, Mia killed that reporter to show Angelina that what Mia is capable of doing after all she literally kicked Mia out without letting her get into the Mansion." James answered and Lucas's eyes widened again.
"What?" Lucas asked and James nodded his head in yes.
"And right now... Angelina feels guilty for the reporter's death and she suddenly felt as if she is at fault... It's like, Mia is warning us to be careful because she hold grudges against people... She killed an innocent person who can give us many answers for us about the person he got the pictures from but that person is no more." James said and looked into Lucas's wide eyes.
"I tried to tell her that this is not her fault but you suddenly coming and talking about Mia made her more worried about this situation. She is more worried about this family... As she thinks, Mia is capable of ruining everyone in this family." James answered.
"I... I can't... Believe this." Lucas replied as he cupped his face in his hands and took a deep breath.
"I understand what you feel... You can't able to think about Mia killing someone... Because, You know her as a woman who is innocent and so professional at her work. Who isn't capable of talking back to anyone can kill a person which is impossible to think." James said as he sighed and Lucas closed his eyes trying to getbhis kind straight about whatever he had just heard about Mia.
"I have seen Mia before in many meetings. She is not like this... It's like, she is totally a different person. But for you all, she is like a close trusted friend. I can imagine what is going on in your mind." James said as he released a breath as Lucas opened his eyes.
"But... I can't imagine how will Johnson feel about this once he gets to know about Mia... And how badly she is betraying him." James ended.
