"Don't worry, I won't hit a woman." After saying that, James Lu threw her to the side, picked up a few pieces of tissue from the table next to him, and meticulously wiped his hands.
Josephine Liang fell to the ground and looked up at James. She was scared and distraught, but the fever and desire inside her was even more overpowering.
James slowly and thoroughly wiped his hands, as if he had just touched something filthy.
"What are you trying to do?" Josephine's voice trembled as she asked.
"Nothing." James replied in a relaxed tone, then emotionlessly ordered someone outside the door, "Come in!"
When Josephine clearly saw the person approaching her, she instantly widened her eyes.
He was the waiter whom she had bribed into drugging Elizabeth Liang!
"..." Josephine was suffering from the unbearable heat, but a cold shiver somehow ran down her spine.
Josephine had paid him money twice on separate occasions. She was afraid of being discovered after knowing that Elizabeth had drank the thing, so she gave him a hefty payment and asked him to go back and hide in his hometown for a while. So how did James manage to find him?
"Ms. Liang." The man looked a little guilty.
Flustered and terrified, Josephine tried to stand up, but eventually weakly collapsed to the floor again, "Who are you?! I don't know you..." Even her voice had become faint and paltry.
"James Lu... what you're doing... is... illegal!"
The door to the suite was tightly shut, and Josephine's phone was clasped in James's hand. She was at the end of her rope.
She had heard before that if someone swallowed something like this and wasn't relieved in time, the consequences would be too frightening to even imagine. At this moment, she felt as if she was going to die from the heat and thirst.
"Illegal?" James carefully contemplated the word then sneered. "Is it?"
"You..." Josephine didn't want to embarrass herself in front of these two people, so she raised her arm and bit down hard on her wrist, which slightly eased the immense suffering.
"You... drugged... me... and... kid... napped... me..." Josephine's eyes were filled with rage.
"Really?" James sat lazily on the sofa nearby as he condescendingly glared at Josephine. "Then why did that not occur to you when you drugged Elizabeth?"
"She's your little cousin, Josephine, HOW COULD YOU!" James's furious bellow displayed his blinding rage without reservation.
The waiter silently glanced at James and frowned, but squatted down and stretched out his hand to Josephine.
"F*ck off...1' Josephine retreated in horror, but she had nowhere to run since her back was literally up against a wall.
The waiter's hand was already on her face.
"Ah..." As soon as she made the sound, she forcefully bit her lip and struggled to stay silent.
"Tut-tut..." James shook his head with a look of utter contempt. "Look at how disgusting you are right now!"
"James Lu..."
"I warned you to be careful a long time ago, but you just won't listen! Unfortunately for you, I'm not a very nice person to deal with. Let me make it clear for you for the last time. Mess with me, fine, but mess with Elizabeth? Then you're dead! Got it?"
Josephine's consciousness was fading, but she caught every single one of James's words.
She had to immediately push down the shock and frustration in her heart before asking in a daze, "I... what is your relationship with Elizabeth?"
"Just know that you can't afford to mess with her!"
Alight with jealousy and hatred, Josephine exclaimed, "Ha! She's a dirt poor idiot! What right do you have to do this to me? I'm the heiress of the Liang Company! I'm a superstar..."
Before she could finish, the waiter who had received a hint from James slapped her in the face.
It was such a strong slap that Josephine's head instantly began buzzing.
After recovering from the shock, her body started shaking violently.
Josephine withstood the pain on her face and viciously scowled at the waiter, but quickly changed her expression in the next second—
"Please... let me go!" She rapidly crawled up to James. "I'll never do that again!"
James kicked her away and snorted in disgust. "Sorry, but it's too late!"
"You..." Josephine was horrified. "What the hell are you going to do?"
"Take an eye for an eye!"
