Since Kara entered Country R, she had been targeted. James was worried and asked Nolan to constantly monitor her position.
Her necklace had the locator he had installed, and as long as the necklace was on her, he could determine her location.
Seeing that Kara did not return to the apartment after class, James was worried and drove to find her. Unexpectedly, something really happened to her.
Someone actually put on fake human skin and pretended to be James to lead Kara out of Donald’s sight. They wanted to take the opportunity to take her away.
It was not difficult to get something like a human skin mask. As long as someone got a photo of James, they could use 3D printing and special materials to make a mask that looked like him.
The other party must have investigated Kara’s information thoroughly before they made the plan.
Fortunately, James had come.
He still had a lingering fear in his heart. Besides, he would also alert those people if he took Kara away, so he and Kara could not stay much longer.
“Kara, get out of the car and find Donald. Don’t run around in the future. Once the training is over, return to NK City immediately.”
Kara glanced out of the window. James’s car was parked in a remote alley. Obviously, he was avoiding something on purpose.
She nervously grabbed his big hand and blinked her big eyes in grievance.
“James, are you going to leave me?”
“Kara, be a good girl.”
James touched Kara’s little head and did not explain much. He just wanted her to obey.
However, she had just been frightened and she was still afraid. When she heard that he was going to leave her again, she was angry, and she still refused to leave.
“James, don’t go, okay?”
James held her little face in his hands, his brown eyes filled with reluctance. “Kara, the situation is complicated right now. I can’t stay by your side yet.”
Kara did not know the specific situation and thought that he cared about what Corey said. Corey said that if James stayed by her side, it would bring harm to her. A sense of helplessness rose in Kara’s heart.
“James, if you let me leave, I will be angry and never want to see you again.”
James knew she said it out of anger.
He clenched his fists tightly when he heard her throw a tantrum and say things like that.
He didn’t want her to know that she was in danger now and that he had to protect her in the dark. That was why the two of them had to keep their distance.
They looked at each other. The man’s aura was too strong. Kara blinked her big eyes, and her eyes were wet.
“Alright. I’ll leave.”
Kara got out of the car and slammed the door shut. She stood outside the car door for a few seconds. Then she pushed open the door again, her red eyes staring at him.
“James, I feel that the most painful thing is not that someone wants to harm me, but that you will leave me.”
Kara closed the door with a bang.
She saw Donald getting out of his car to pick her up from the rearview mirror. She did not say a word. After getting into Donald’s car, she disappeared from James’s sight.
James was in a trance as he thought about Kara’s words. He frowned, pursed his lips, licked his teeth, and ordered John to drive away.
In the hotel, Jadon was listening to the report given by his subordinate.
His subordinate was injured and Kara had left. Jadon smashed his phone angrily.
It wasn’t easy for him to get Kara to Country R, but he didn’t expect that things were still not easy now Kara was in Country R. He was a bit irritable.
But thinking about what he had promised others, he took a deep breath again and continued to carry out his plan.
Kara did not know that she had long been treated as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. After getting into Donald’s car, she was in a low mood and did not want to speak.
When she reached the apartment, she went to her room, covered herself with the quilt, and hid in it.
When she heard the knock on the door, she did not open the door. Instead, she indifferently said that she was tired and wanted to sleep.
However, the person outside the door was very patient and continued to knock on the door.
Kara was annoyed. She got up to open the door, and saw Donald who was outside the door.
“What is it, Donald?”
“Sorry to put you in danger,” Donald apologized.
When Kara met danger, Donald was eating in the private box. Seeing that Kara had not returned, he went to pay the bill. When he returned to the private box, he still did not see Kara. Only then did he realize that something was wrong.
Just as he was about to leave the private box to look for her, he received a call from Nolan saying that someone had disguised himself as James and tricked Kara to leave with him.
Donald was a bit angry in his heart. He didn’t know what the other party was planning, but they actually tried every possible means to take Kara away.
Kara opened the door and let out a deep breath, shaking her head.
“I should be the one to apologize. If I hadn’t run around on my own, I wouldn’t have encountered such a thing and made you worry.”
Donald saw that Kara was not in a good mood, so he patted her shoulder to comfort her.
“Are you angry with James?”
Kara suddenly raised his head. From Donald’s tone, she suddenly realized that Donald was very familiar with James.
She looked at Donald in confusion and asked, “Donald, when did you become familiar with James?”
She remembered that in the past, James and Donald always disliked each other whenever they met.
Donald’s eyes flashed. He didn’t want to tell Kara the secret between him and James.
“You’re thinking too much. How could I be familiar with James? We’re just nodding acquaintances. If he wasn’t your husband, I wouldn’t have bothered with such an arrogant and bad-tempered man.”
The more Donald said like that, the more Kara was sure about her guess.
She thought there were some things between Donald and James that they didn’t want her to know, and Donald had even deliberately helped James hide them.
“Donald, James isn’t bad-tempered.”
Although she was angry with James now, she couldn’t bear to hear others talking about him like that.
The corners of Donald’s mouth twitched. It was rare for Kara to say that James wasn’t bad-tempered.
“Alright, it has nothing to do with me whether he has a bad temper or not. This is your new phone. Since you are in Country R, use this phone first.”
Kara handed over the new phone and blinked her eyes with confusion. “Donald, I have a phone. Why would you give me a new phone?”
“Where’s your phone?” Donald asked.
Kara took out her phone. It was James who bought it for her, so she liked it very much and had always been careful to protect it.
Donald took the phone from her hand. Under Kara’s astonished gaze, he threw the phone to the ground fiercely, and with a bang, the phone turned into pieces.
“Alright, you can use the new phone now,”
Donald said with a smile and stared at the scattered pieces on the ground.
Kara was speechless.
She stared at him in disbelief, as if saying, “Donald, are you sick?”
Her heart ached as she picked up a few pieces from the ground. She asked with a frown. “Donald, it’s a good phone. Why? Why did you do it?”
Donald comforted her calmly, “Out with the old, in with the new! This new phone will definitely have more functions than your old phone and it costs more.”
“But…”
Kara wanted to say that this cellphone was given to her by James. It had a special meaning.
Donald said, “But the phone is already broken. You should accept reality.”
He was also helpless. Kara’s phone was installed with a tracking system, so the bad guys could find her accurately. In order to prevent danger, he could only smash the phone.
This new phone was actually bought by James. Seeing that she was angry with James, Donald did not directly say that it was from James.
Seeing Donald leave as if nothing had happened, Kara did not come back to her senses for a long time. She picked up all the cell phone fragments and took a small bag to keep them.
She was not in a good mood to begin with, and it was inevitable for her to be sentimental looking at these fragments.
The scene of her and James being together replayed in her mind. When he chose to push her away, the beautiful moments seemed to have become fragmented as well.
Her eyes were red and swollen. She felt something salty in the corner of her mouth. She touched her cheek and found herself crying again.
She quickly wiped her tears and took a deep breath to calm down.
To learn to deal with problems independently, crying could not help at all. Instead, it would make her fall into a situation where she thought she was very pitiful.
When even she felt that she was pitiful herself, that would be the most pathetic.
