James came to the venue for the awards ceremony. He waited for half an hour outside, but Kara still did not come out. James then anxiously called Donald.
“Can you send my wife out before you die?”
When Donald heard the sarcasm, he gritted his teeth. Donald found James’ bad temper really annoying.
“If I am dead, how can I answer your call?”
“Where is my wife?”
James was impatient, and it made Donald even more irritated.
“Kara is a grown-up. She can go everywhere she wants. That’s none of my business.”
James was speechless.
He could tell that Donald said that on purpose. James gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger. “Take two photos of her and let me see.”
“James, mind your manner. No matter what, I am Kara’s senior. She is your wife. Logically speaking, I’m also your senior.” Donald was in a good mood and patiently persuaded.
“Donald, if you don’t want to find Nicole, just say it!” James chuckled.
“You are ruthless!”
When Nicole’s name was mentioned, Donald had to compromise.
Now Donald was sure that Nicole’s disappearance had something to do with Kason, but it was difficult to get news from Kason. With James’ help, Donald thought he might have a glimmer of hope.
Donald hung up the phone and found an angle to take two photos of Kara. Then he sent the photos to James.
Just as Donald thought James would stop for a while, James called again.
“There’s something wrong with Jadon. Don’t let him get near Kara.”
The corners of Donald’s mouth twitched. Donald wondered how James knew that there was something wrong with Jadon. After all, James was not present.
“James, enough with the jealousy. There are so many people here. What else can Jadon do?”
“I don’t want to argue with you. Take a look at the photos you gave me. Now! Immediately take Kara back to me!”
Donald was puzzled and speechless. He lowered his head to look at the two photos.
In the photos, Jadon stared at Kara with hatred in his eyes.
Donald narrowed his cold eyes and looked up at Jadon who was speaking to Kara with a gentle look. Jadon held a cup of water in his hand and was about to give it to Kara. Donald immediately sensed the danger.
Kara was so busy that she was almost dizzy. It took a while for Kara to arrange everything and get it done. As Kara was about to admire the works, Jadon came over with a cup of tea in his hands. He looked at Kara with a gentle smile.
“Come and have some tea. You must be exhausted.
“I didn’t expect you to have such a strong ability to organize everything. Kara, you really surprised me.” Jadon smiled and handed Kara a cup of tea.
Kara shook her head in embarrassment. She thanked Jadon and reached for the cup.
Suddenly, Kara was hit, and her wrist felt numb.
Kara lost her strength, and the cup fell to the ground. All the tea fell on Jadon.
Jadon raised his head and stared gloomily at Donald, who had bumped into Kara. Jadon clenched his fists and stared at his wet clothes.
“Sorry, Jadon.”
Kara was flustered and quickly went to find a tissue to wipe for Jadon.
Donald grabbed Kara’s arm and apologized to Jadon with a smile. “I’m really sorry. I wanted to talk to Kara. But I must run so fast that I bumped into her. Mr. Jadon, are you alright?”
“I’m fine!”
Jadon squeezed two words from his mouth and went to find a tissue.
“Mr. Donald, be careful. You are lucky it’s me. Others won’t spare you.”
“Yes, but Kara doesn’t casually drink tea from others.”
Donald stared at Jadon with a fake smile. Jadon felt a little embarrassed by Donald’s stare. Looking awkward, Jadon found an excuse to change his clothes and left.
Kara did not know that she had escaped the danger and stared at Donald in confusion.
“Donald, why are you acting so strange?”
Donald shrugged and smiled. He put an arm on Kara’s shoulder and took her out.
“The trophy is also donated. There is nothing for you to do here. You should follow me back and finish the two paintings that you owe me as soon as possible.”
“But…”
Kara was reluctant and looked at the crowd of great painters. She had not seen them draw yet.
“Let’s go.” Donald never changed his mind easily. He dragged Kara out of the house quickly.
Furthermore, James would make things difficult for Donald if Kara wanted to stay.
After getting in the car, Kara pouted his pink lips gloomily. “Donald, it’s not easy to get such a rare learning opportunity. Why are you doing this to me?”
“Simply watching them draw won’t help your learning. If you work hard and improve yourself, there are plenty of similar chances in the future.”
Donald looked at the driver in front of him and patted him on the shoulder, telling him to drive faster.
Kara focused on Donald and did not notice the driver in the front. The driver adjusted the rearview mirror until he could see Kara’s face before starting the car.
“Donald, you also know that my drawing techniques are still rather immature. I can’t make any good works. I owe you two paintings. I will give them to you when I become better at this. It’s good for both of us.”
Kara explained in a soft and gentle tone, her delicate face revealing a hint of innocence.
The driver was distracted and looked at Kara’s face as she sat in the back seat. Then the driver smiled. It was James.
Donald didn’t understand why James didn’t greet Kara when James saw her. Donald raised his eyebrows slightly and thought of something.
“Based on what you said, it seems nice. Then I will wait a little longer. However, I want to ask you a question first.”
“What?” Kara stared at Donald in confusion, waiting for his question.
“Does James know that you are here in Country R?”
Hearing James’ name, Kara lowered her head and stared at her fingers in a daze. She looked upset.
When Donald saw Kara’s expression, he was a little surprised. Donald wondered if Kara and James had quarreled.
“Kara, was it James who bullied you?”
Kara shook his head and played with her nails. “No. He broke up with me.”
“Why?” Donald didn’t believe it.
If James wanted to break up with Kara, there was no way he would leave behind all his work and take the risk to protect her when James heard that Kara was coming to Country R.
James pushed up his glasses with one hand. When he heard Kara’s words, he frowned with his deep eyes and his good-looking eyebrows.
“I haven’t seen him for the past few days. He didn’t answer the phone calls, not to mention my WeChat messages. He also said that he wanted me to learn to be independent.
“I think that’s just a polite way of breaking up, isn’t it? He doesn’t need me anymore.
“I have also thought about it. If he really wants to separate from me, I will not refuse.”
Donald stared at James’ back with the corners of his mouth twitched.
He wondered the reason why James did this.
Finally, Donald found a chance to take revenge on James, and he didn’t want to miss it.
“He didn’t discuss it with you and made the decision for you in a domineering manner. You should teach him a lesson.
“Kara, the next time you see him, tell him that you don’t want him anymore. He broke your heart, and you can break his.
“Moreover, you must have a firm attitude. Take out your courage and do it for yourself.”
Kara raised her head with her red eyes, nodding in agreement.
“Donald, you’re right. Since James is ignoring me now, I should teach him a lesson.”
James had no words.
He heard Kara’s words, and his mouth twitched. Then James looked at Donald coldly.
“Hey! What are you doing? Drive faster!”
Donald ignored James’ gaze and looked provocatively at James.
James had so much hate in him.
‘Donald, just you wait,’ thought James.
James smiled. Suddenly, the steering wheel turned abruptly, and the car made a quick turn. Donald hit the back of his head against the car window due to shock. He screamed in pain.
Seeing Donald sit up, James grinned again. He turned the steering wheel two more times and sent Donald falling again.
“Can you even drive?”
