Looking at the big bamboo baskets in front of them, Genevieve and William were both shocked.
Just now, after William told James everything, James smiled with satisfaction and then walked to the man named Samuel.
Within two minutes, a few people carried these bamboo baskets in. It seemed that they had prepared these in advance.
"Mr. Lu?" William's face was pale, and droplets of
sweat were welling up on his forehead.
Genevieve was so scared that she struggled desperately, trying to get rid of the rope which tied her up.
James glanced at the bamboo baskets beside him and smiled evilly.
He walked to one of the bamboo baskets and bent down to grab two eggs from it. He stared at the eggs and then gently flung one up and got it back in his hand casually.
He stared at Genevieve and said in a cold tone, "So it was you who decided to hit Elizabeth with the eggs?"
Genevieve shook her head with her body shivering, "I didn't... Ah!"
James threw an egg at her face heavily. The egg liquid quickly flowed down her cheeks, and the pungent smell made her feel sick. She didn't expect that James would really hit her.
William widened his eyes in an instant, and he was more scared.
"You didn't?" James glanced at Genevieve apathetically, and then quickly threw another egg at her.
"Ah!"
Genevieve felt painful and gulped with her face twisted.
Although she was not born in a rich family, she had never been bullied like this. She felt wronged, very awkward, and mad. She wanted to scream and scold James, but looking at James whose face was gloomy and those tall men in the room, she knew that she could not do that. As the saying went, a wise man submitted to circumstances.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry. Please don't hit me anymore." Genevieve cried in grievances, "I was so silly at that time. I shouldn't have regarded Elizabeth as a shameless woman after seeing those photos and videos... Besides, I shouldn't treat her so rudely. I was wrong. Don't throw eggs at me anymore..." It was so painful!
Although it was just an egg, James must have used lots of strength. She only felt a burning sensation in her cheeks. If her hand was not tied up and she could touch her face, she could feel that her face had got swollen.
James narrowed his eyes and looked at Genevieve whose face was covered by the egg liquid with disgust. He said indifferently, "I think you're not only silly but also very greedy. You received some money and luxurious goods recently, didn't you?"
"Yeah." James nodded slightly, "You received gifts, so you became bold."
Hearing this, Genevieve shuddered wildly. Did James... mean he knew that she had got benefits from Margot?
She quickly made up her mind and couldn't care about anything else, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have accepted Margot's money, and I shouldn't have listened to her words to go against Elizabeth! I made a mistake! Please don't hit me. If you..."
