Perhaps the noise outside the door woke Kara up in the bedroom. Kara opened her eyes in a daze and did not see James. Kara quickly got up and went to the living room.
Kara shouted, “James.”
When James heard Kara’s soft voice, the cold air around him dispersed, and the sharpness in his eyes disappeared.
Like an unsheathed knife, James was about to cut Corey’s throat, but because of Kara’s call, the cold knife returned to the sheath, and James’ face became soft.
James turned around and walked up to Kara. James’ fingers combed through her messy hair. “Why are you awake?”
“I didn’t see you.”
Kara grabbed James’ hand and looked at Corey, who was behind him.
“Corey, why are you here?”
“I am here to see you. Am I not welcome?”
Corey also restrained the coldness on his body and revealed a polite smile.
“Of course not.” Kara laughed and sat on the sofa with James.
Corey looked at James and spoke to Kara in a softer tone.
“I’m here to see how you’re doing. Kara, reach out and let me feel your pulse.”
Kara looked up at James and found that there was no expression on his face. It was unknown whether James agreed or not.
But Corey insisted, and Kara, as usual, extended her wrist to let Corey diagnose her.
Corey’s cold fingers were on Kara’s wrist, and Kara was uncomfortable and retreated, but Corey grabbed Kara tightly.
Suddenly, Corey’s fingers trembled, and Corey hid his surging emotions behind his glasses.
But thinking that James was still next to him, Corey restrained his emotions and released Kara’s wrist.
“Well, you have been well recently. During this period of time, you don’t have to exercise anymore, and don’t do strenuous exercise,” Corey said casually.
Kara was puzzled. In the past, Corey had always asked her to exercise more. ‘Why is it so different this time?’
“Corey, are you hiding something from me?” Kara asked.
Corey felt a chill in his palm. Corey felt conflicted.
Corey stared sharply at James, wanting to give him a good beating.
“Corey.”
Kara noticed that Corey had been staring at James, so Kara waved her hand in front of Corey in confusion.
“It’s fine. You just have to rest.”
Corey didn’t have the patience to stay any longer. Corey said a few more perfunctory words and left unsteadily.
Walking out of the door, Corey clenched his fists. After a long while, Corey released his fists, got his phone, and made a call.
“Hey, I agree to take Kara away.”
In the apartment, James sensed Corey’s abnormality. James exchanged glances with Nolan and felt that Corey must be hiding something from them.
James didn’t want to make Kara worried, so James didn’t say much. Instead, James waited for Kara to fall asleep again and went to Nolan’s room.
Because Nolan had to work, his room was relatively large, with four or five tables, and the table was full of computers.
“Have you found out Jadon’s identity?” James asked coldly.
Nolan nodded, his fingers quickly pointing out the information that he had prepared.
Nolan said, “Jadon is also called Roger Larsen. He is the second boy in his generation in the Larsen family and is also the grandchild that his grandfather dotes on the most. Jadon has been gifted in painting since he was young. Jadon became famous when he was young. In order to protect Jadon, the family let him use his mother’s maiden name and hid his identity.
“Three years ago, Jadon graduated as a graduate student and opened a painting studio. Jadon was engaged in a painting business. With the support of his grandfather, Jadon did quite well.”
Nolan typed and summarized the information.
“It is him!”
When James saw Simon, James noticed the special symbol on his clothes. James had also seen it on Jadon or Roger.
After that, James saw a photo in Simon’s wallet. The little boy in the photo looked somewhat similar to Roger, so James asked Nolan to investigate it.
As James expected, Jadon’s identity was not simple.
“Why does he want to take my wife away?” James muttered.
Logically speaking, Roger and Kara were only connected by the art of drawing. If there wasn’t some hatred between them, why would Roger take Kara away?
After hearing this news, Nolan frowned. There were some things Nolan did not know if he should say or not.
“Why are you looking at me? If you have something to say, say it!” James frowned impatiently when James saw that Nolan wanted to say something.
“Mr. James, I just received news from NK City that Jadon went to talk to the Quain family to inquire about a piece of jade.”
“A piece of jade?” James raised his eyebrows.
Nolan said, “It seems to be a piece of jade that Kathleen stole from Miss Kara’s mother’s jewelry box. And there were words carved on that piece of jade, and there were two twin lotuses.
Jadon also said that there were two pieces of jade, as tokens of a marriage arranged by their parents. One was with Kara, and the other was with Jadon.
James was speechless.
James pouted. James did not expect that there was such a relationship between them.
No wonder the first time James saw Roger, James felt that this man was very annoying.
‘Arranged marriage?’
If it wasn’t for the fact that Kara’s body didn’t allow it, James and Kara might have already had a child.
“Look again. Roger wants to take my wife away. There must be something else,” James frowned and said.
No matter what secrets Roger had, it was definitely not a good thing. Roger was doing everything he could to get Kara to Country R. And Roger tried several times to take her away.
“Nolan, what’s happening with the Larsen family?”
Simon wanted Kason to treat Vincent. If Kason succeeded, Kason would get a lot of help. In the future, if Kason came for Kara, James would have to be even more careful.
“John sent a message. Simon will take Kason to the Larsen family’s castle tonight.”
In B City, there were two types of people who could build a castle. Either they had a noble identity or were very rich, and the Larsen family had both.
James narrowed his cold eyes as he stared at the computer screen in deep thought. James unconsciously touched his lips with his long fingers.
Suddenly, James sneered and called Donald.
“Come here. I’ll take you to watch a show.”
Donald, who answered the phone, felt that James was like teasing a puppy, and his tone was somewhat disdainful.
“To be honest, I prefer watching a movie by myself than watching a show with you.”
James was not angry. Instead, James let out a pleasant laugh and said, “Then it doesn’t seem bad that you will be watching movies by yourself for a lifetime.”
Donald was speechless.
Half an hour later, Donald hurried over, but he did not see James. Donald was surprised to see Simon drinking tea in the living room.
“Nolan, why is Simon here?” Donald asked in a low voice.
Nolan raised the glasses on his nose, looked at Donald sitting on the sofa, and nodded.
“Mr. James, in five minutes, John will take the suit over.”
Donald was stunned. Donald quickly glanced around, but he still did not see James.
“Nolan, who are you talking to?”
“Nolan is talking to me. Can’t you tell?” James used his voice.
Donald took a few seconds to react. Donald sat opposite James and poked James’ face to confirm that it was real human skin. But why did James become Simon?
James pushed Donald’s hand away in disgust and sat up straight arrogantly.
James said coldly, “Last time, Mr. Roger of the Larsen family used my human skin mask to deceive my wife. This time, I will return the favor.”
“How did you make it?” Donald was shocked.
Weren’t human skin masks and other stuff all used to fool people in martial arts novels?
But when Donald saw it, Donald was astonished by James.
