Seeing James was so impatient to kick her away, Madelyn was unwilling to give up.
“James, your relationship with Auntie is so tense that Uncle was in an awkward position. Don’t you want a harmonious family?”
“Forty seconds left!” James reminded her kindly.
Madelyn was a little depressed. “Alright, let’s stop playing. I know you don’t like Keely. To be honest, I don’t like her either. However, I came here to remind you that someone wants to take Kara away. Be careful.”
James narrowed his eyes and stared at Madelyn coldly.
“What do you mean by saying that?”
“I mean that someone is interested in your woman and wants to take her away. If you want to know any other things, you need to exchange with a condition.” Madelyn blinked her eyes mischievously.
“What’s the condition?” The corners of James’s mouth curled into a mocking smile.
Madelyn dared to come alone to negotiate with him, quite bold!
“I want…”
Madelyn looked a little shy. She walked around James, looking at him carefully.
“I want YOU. Sleep with me, and I’ll tell you everything.”
Kara, who was hiding behind the screen, heard Madelyn’s words and clenched her fists angrily.
What a shameless woman Madelyn was! She knew that James had a fiancée, yet she still made such a cheeky request.
“I can see that you do have some tricks.”
Noticing Madelyn’s hand grabbing his arm, James grabbed her wrist in return. But Madelyn easily dodged his grab.
Nolan frowned and stepped forward to fight with Madelyn.
James found that Madelyn was ruthless in her attacks and her moves were experienced. It was obvious that she was skilled.
Then, Madelyn was able to notice it when Kara stretched her foot to trip her that day.
However, Madelyn did not avoid it. Instead, she deliberately fell, causing Keely to be angry and intensify the conflict between them.
What exactly did Madelyn want to do?
Nolan and Madelyn were fighting harder and harder. Nolan realized that he had underestimated his opponent.
“Stop it!”
James shouted. Nolan took a step back, but Madelyn was still a little unsatisfied.
“Nolan, your skills are not bad, but still far away comparable to mine.”
Nolan, who was provoked, really wanted to kill Madelyn.
“Madelyn, tell me about your target,” James said calmly.
“You are my target. I want to kill you. Do you believe it or not?” Madelyn smiled innocently.
“Kill me? Madelyn, no, I should call you ‘Red Ribbon’.”
As said, there was a killer who would leave a red ribbon on the spot every time the mission was completed. Therefore, the killer was called “Red Ribbon”.
Nolan stared at Madelyn in a big surprise. She seemed to be only 18 years old, pretending to be innocent and obedient. How could she be the killer?
The smile on Madelyn’s face was frozen. But very soon, she revealed some playfulness again and winked at James mischievously.
“What are you talking about? I don’t get it. I’ve told you what I want to say. If you can’t protect your woman, she will be taken away.”
When Madelyn turned to leave, James unbuttoned the buttons on his sleeves.
Just as Madelyn walked to the door, James exerted force, grabbed the back of her neck, and pressed her against the wall firmly.
Nolan got the point immediately. He stepped forward, took a tube of medicine out of his pocket, and gave Madelyn a shot.
Nolan didn’t bring weapons at workplace, but to be on the safe side, he carried some special medicines with him.
This bottle of medicine could make people feel a kind of pain, which spread all over the body and caused suffocation eventually.
To put it more clearly, it was the venom released by the viper. If the treatment was not taken timely, most likely, the whole body would be paralyzed and suffocated to death.
One who dared provoke James had to pay the price!
“You … What are you going to do?”
“Nothing. I just gave you a present out of goodwill.” James sneered.
After Nolan put away the empty medicine bottle, James threw Madelyn away in disgust and turned to get a wet tissue to wipe his hands.
“I don’t care whom you work for. Anyone who intends to take my woman away from my place, go ahead if he or she doesn’t want to die!”
Madelyn felt dizzy, and her head hurt. She squatted down in pain.
“What did you do to me?”
“It’s just to remind you of the consequences of threatening me!”
James threw the used tissue into the trash can and indicated Nolan to call security to take Madelyn out.
Security came in and took Madelyn out, but James called him to stop there.
James walked out of his office and saw the secretary who brought Madelyn upstairs. He sneered and hooked his fingers at her.
The secretary was very excited and trotted to James with a smile.
“You brought her to my office, right?”
The secretary walked in and saw that Madelyn was taken away by security.
She was surprised. ‘Did this woman do anything to anger, Mr. James?’
“Yes, Mr. James.”
“OK. Go to call the secretary-general and come to see me together,” James added.
The secretary got a very bad feeling, but she dared not disobey James’ order. So, she quickened her pace to call the secretary-general over.
The secretary-general was a woman in her forties, but she looked to be only in her thirties because of good maintenance.
The secretary-general smiled and asked respectfully, “What can I do for you, Mr. James?”
“In the future, hire some smart women to fill the secretarial department. This one does not suit her position. You handle it.”
James slammed the office door.
Everyone was scared.
The smile on the secretary-general’s face was frozen. She looked at the secretary behind her with a gloomy face and sharp eyes. The secretary was so scared that she retreated.
Usually, these trivial matters were handled by Nolan. Now, James had personally spoken, it could be seen that he was really angry.
And when 总裁 mentioned the entire secretarial department, wasn’t this referring to her dereliction of duty?
“Go to hand over your work now and apply to resign in the afternoon.”
“Madam, what did I do wrong? Why do you fire me? I just took a guest upstairs. Was it wrong?”
The secretary was at work and met Madelyn, who came over to chat with her and praised her.
During the conversation, she learned that Madelyn was James’ cousin. So, she took the initiative to help Madelyn.
The secretary heard that Mr. James brought his fiancée to the company today. She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Kara so that she would double the benefits.
The secretary did not expect that Kara would make things difficult for her. Kara not only did not see Madelyn but also criticized her.
Now, she got fired and didn’t get any benefit.
The secretary-general saw that the secretary still did not reflect on herself, and glared at her.
“You cross the line. You’ve been working at the reception for three years, but you still don’t know your job well. It is useless to keep you!”
“But I…”
“If you are unwilling to leave, I will ask the security to take you away!”
The secretary-general was tough and aggressive, not giving any chance to the secretary to quibble.
James returned to his office and passed the screen. He saw that Kara lowered her head and stared at the pencil in her hand in a daze.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
He walked behind her and carried her up.
“James, Madelyn said that someone wanted to take me away. Why?”
James rubbed his chin against Kara’s neck. His brown eyes were complicated.
Maybe someone wanted to use Kara to threaten him and take something from him.
However, according to Madelyn, if someone wanted something from him, he or she would directly aim at James, instead of brazenly telling James that Kara would be taken away.
“I will investigate this matter. Don’t worry. It might be a business competition. Many people want to kill me,”
James said in an indifferent tone. Kara touched his cheek gently, full of pity.
“James, if I am taken away, please take care of yourself. Promise me, okay?”
‘How could I promise you that?’
James frowned. He would never let it happen!
