"Ah?!" Charlotte Dong's eyes widened in disbelief. "So much..." How could she drink it all at the moment?
Moreover, the coffee just served, hot with steam...
Elizabeth Liang's eyelids twitched. " Too much coffee." She wondered.
She then hesitated for a moment but spoke in the end, "James ... Or we let her go?"
"Hush. Just listen to me, okay?" He gazed at the coffee and frowned thoughtfully.
"Hey!" After a while, James finally accepted her proposal not so willingly. "Yeah, it seems that there are a lot of them."
Charlotte hastily nodded. But before she could speak, James said again, "Since you don't want to drink, then pour that on you!"
"What?!" Charlotte shouted gallingly. She would be shamed to death if all the coffee would be poured on her.
"Didn't you see what you did? It's not fun enough to just see her clothes ruined, don't you think?"
"..." Charlotte clenched her fists. She's fidgeting and scared, trying very hard to hold back her urge to curse. After thinking for a while, she had to beg Elizabeth, "Elizabeth, I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that to you just now. Can you forgive me? I will buy you a house in the city center, and then I will buy you a BMW tomorrow, ok? Please stop him. Please, I'm begging you!" She almost fell apart and burst into tears because of fear, unwillingness, and humiliation.
"..." Elizabeth Liang just looked at her. She felt that Charlotte was a little pitiful at the moment but when she recalled things in the past, she found that Charlotte had never showed any mercy for her.
It's ridiculous and sad, wasn't it?
If she helped her out today, James would scold her for being weak-kneed, and would Charlotte really be grateful to her? The answer was no. She's definitely gonna go after her, even more cruely than before.
Elizabeth buried her pity for her and just turned away to the window.
"You..." Charlotte's face was livid, disillusioned
"A house? A car?" James smiled scornfully. "Do you think Elizabeth, my woman, would be devoid of those?" He expressed his insistence on punishing her.
"James..." Charlotte screamed. She had cared about the status of James Lu in the beginning, but now she couldn't bear it anymore.
Finally, she shouted regardless of her image, "James Lu, don't go too far!"
"Are you threatening me?" James narrowed his eyes.
"Yes. Don't you think you're richer than my family? I'm telling you, you're illegally forcing me! Believe it or not, I can sue you!"
James was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Force? Threat? sue me? Just go if it suits you! But..." He held back and said after a few seconds, "I just don't know who' gonna be imprisoned, you or me?"
"Of course it's you!"
"Really?" James paused for a second and said, "It seems that Mrs. Liang is really unwilling to accept my offer. What should I say? Since you are not being cooperative, I have to display something to enlighten you. Samuel, show her the stuff."
After James gave the order, Samuel immediately took out another mobile phone from his trouser pocket. He quickly clicked on the screen a few times, and soon, a voice message began to play—
— “You should have heard about what happened to your cousin, right? Did you do it?"
— "What's the matter with me about Big Star Josephine?"
"Elizabeth Liang, I'm telling you, don't play dumb with me!"
"Oh! Am I right, it is you? Let me tell you, there's my credit for sending you to James's bed and hooked him. I went to the hotel to check, you two were hanging together that night!"
"My daughter, Josephine, is not as lucky as you. You managed to escape the trap every time. You're such a disaster! Because of you, we failed to get the loan from President Lee, and Josephine can not even be able to shoot films! It's all your fault."
"So, the thing that happened the other night was done by you?" "So what?"
After listening to the recording for two minutes, Samuel Lee directly turned off the recording.
Charlotte was completely dumbfounded! Her voice came out of this mobile phone, and what she said to Elizabeth just now... James actually got his special assistant record it!
—"Who's gonna end in the prison, hah?"
She couldn't help but shudder.
"We heard the threat, insult, and even a frame-up. Are you gonna be severely persecuted by the law?"
"You can fake it..."
"Well, what if the recording is combined with today's surveillance video? Will it be more real?"
"James, you are so despicable!" Charlotte glanced at the monitor on the wall and gnashed her teeth with hatred.
James smirked and said, "Thank you for your compliment."
