Chapter 1369
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âThank you, James
âDonât mention it, kiddo,â James said with a smile. It was hard to believe that this man could ever be so
benign.
His soft tone made Stephanie furrow her brows. As much as she didnât want to accept it, the truth was
laid out in the open. Sooner or later, she would have to accept James as her father.
After hanging up Stephanieâs call, James called Carlos. But it was
Frankie who answered.
âJames, Iâm sorry, but Carlos is in a meeting right now. I will take your message to him if itâs urgent.â
James wanted to talk to Carlos himself, but the matter was too urgent to wait. He feigned a calm tone
and informed, âTell him that his aunt
Glenda was framed by Debbie and has been arrested by the police. The
Elliot family members are my friends. If he still sees me as his father who had raised him for the past
thirty years, heâll bail her out.â
Sarcasm laced Frankieâs eyes, yet he maintained a professional tone.
âIâLL pass on your message, James. Is there anything else I can help you with?â
âStephanie looked after him for two years when he was in a coma. He should be grateful to her. She
might have done some things, but considering what she has done for him in the past, he shouldnât
abandon her at a time like this.â
âNoted.â
âThatâs all.â James hung up without waiting for Frankieâs response.
Carlosâ meeting ended soon, and Frankie told him everything James had said.
A N G E L A âs L I B R A R Y
He took his phone from Frankie and sneered at it, âWhatâs he been up to lately?â He assumed that by
now, the old snake should have known he had gotten his memory back.
From his message, Carlos could tell that James was still pretending to not know that he remembered
everything; he was trying to maximize the benefit of his identity as Carlosâ father.
Frankie replied, âOn the surface, it might Look Like heâs doing nothing unusual. But he has been
secretly transferring his assets overseas.
Some of them have been transferred into Glendaâs relativesâ names.â
âTransferring assets?â Carlos lit a cigarette and observed sarcastically, âHe has cheated many people
off their wealth. Isnât he worried that it might break his arms?â
The bribes James had taken from many and the money he had embezzled had reached billions of
dollars, which was enough for him to squander for the rest of his pitiful life.
âGlenda has filed for a divorce. She must have done it to be with
James. Carlos, what should we do next?â
Carlos fell silent. He was thinking about Angus.
Glenda was evil, but Angus was an honest and decent man. He had never done harm to anybody.
Despite suspecting that his wife was having an affair, he had been pretending to be ignorant of it for so
many years, all for their childrenâs sake. That was the only reason why the Elliot family had always
been so peaceful in the past.
