Hearing that Valerie compromised for just one bag and wanted to tell Kason that James was in the villa, Mandy secretly clenched her fists, staring at Valerie.
If Kason found out that she had secretly kept James, he wouldn’t trust her again.
However, he heard Valerie say, “Dad, listen to me, you’ll never find James here because he has already left.
“I wanted to make him my future brother-in-law but he came with a woman. Not only did he refuse the proposal but also hit me.
“Dad, look at my arm. It’s his fault!
I hate him. Dad, if I see him, I will definitely tell you so you can arrest him.”
Hearing Valerie’s innocent words, Kason was a little suspicious. “Are you sure that James isn’t here?”
“No, Mandy took them back but they left on the second day. Mandy wanted to make him stay but he insisted on leaving.”
Valerie was lying. But she sounded innocent.
“Dad, I’ve told you. He is not with me, but you don’t believe me,” Mandy immediately said after Valerie spoke.
Kason looked at his daughters. He could only grind his teeth and leave.
Mandy and Valerie sent Kason off. Valerie sneakily looked up the stairs, wondering where Many had kept them.
“Mandy, we lied to Dad, what if he finds out?”
“He won’t. We will be more careful and no one will know about this. It wasn’t it you who reported it, right?” Mandy stared at Valerie coldly.
Valerie was the first person who came to her mind when she heard the police officers say that someone had made a report. James broke Valerie’s arm, she had reasons to hate him.
Valerie frowned, looking hurt, “Mandy, how can you doubt me? Although I don’t like James, he is going to be my future brother-in-law’s man. How can I hurt him?”
The one she wanted hurt was the bitch Kara.
“I hope it wasn’t you.”
Mandy touched Valerie’s head, looked up at the building, and slowly said, “Valerie, my life will be painful without James.
“So, I have to keep him by my side. He’ll learn to know that I am a better choice for him than Kara.”
“Alright, I will help you, Mandy,” Valerie smiled fawningly.
She thought that if James and Mandy were to be together, Kara must leave here.
Mandy went upstairs to the study, pushed open the bookshelf, and asked James and Kara to come out.
Her gaze fell on Kara’s slightly red and swollen lips. After a few seconds of pause, Mandy subdued her anger and made way for them.
“It’s fine now. You guys should come out.”
However, in her heart, she was cursing Kara for hooking up with James while she was dealing with the police and Kason.
James held Kara’s hand and came out. He put his long fingers to his lips and thought for a few seconds.
“Mandy, thank you for helping me. We have disturbed your life. I am very sorry, so my wife and I have to leave.”
Mandy was not surprised but she pretended to be as she immediately explained.
“James, is it because of what I said to my father? Don’t mind it. I said that I like you because I want my father to let you go. I don’t have any other thoughts.”
James shook his head. “That’s not the point. We…”
Mandy shook her head and interrupted him, “James, I admit that I like you, but now that you are married, I have given up on this idea. Now I don’t have any requests, I just hope that you don’t get hurt. I am willing to do anything.”
“Mandy, but your father will get angry because of this. You and your father might get estranged. Don’t you care?” James frowned.
“I don’t care. James, even if you don’t care about yourself, you have to consider Ms. Kara’s health. You can rest here for a few days. When this storm stops, I will send you away.”
Mandy said sincerely as if she was willing to die for him.
“Thank you then,” James sighed.
He seemed to be helpless and could only accept it.
“…”
Kara, who was standing to the side, looked at James’ hypocritical expression and felt strange in her heart.
He was not a person who would easily accept favors from others. He was really patient enough to talk to her so much, not to mention that Mandy liked him.
Therefore, there must be a trap.
Back in the bedroom, Kara was about to ask him, but he covered her mouth with his hand. She blinked in confusion.
“There are spying devices and cameras. Let’s talk outside,” James whispered in her ear.
Then he pushed open the glass door on the balcony and waved at her.
Kara looked around the room. Thinking of James’ words, she shivered.
It felt really sick being watched.
At the balcony, Kara asked in a low voice, “Is there any surveillance here?”
“No,” James combed her hair and said to her patiently.
“I know what you want to ask. I’ve known that Mandy likes me. So, I will take you away when the time comes. But not now.”
Kara was in poor health. Corey’s attitude was clear. He wanted to kill the baby in her belly.
James still had a glimmer of hope for the child’s survival.
However, he did not know how long it would be.
“Why not?” Kara furrowed her brows.
He knew Mandy liked him yet he still accepted Mandy’s kindness. Wasn’t he taking advantage of Mandy’s feelings?
That didn’t sound like what James would do.
“Kara, do you know about our other relationship?” he suddenly said.
“…”
Cousins?
Kara bit her lower lip, leaned against the railing, and glanced at James sideways, waiting for him to continue.
You also heard Mandy call Kason father in the study. Logically speaking, Kason is our mother’s brother, so Mandy is your cousin.
When Kason stopped Mandy from liking me, he only analyzed the situation but did not mention the matter of kinship. There must be something behind this.
“What thing could it be?” Kara asked doubtfully.
“I also want to know.” James smiled.
Although he and Kara did not care much about the fact that they were cousins, this kind of relationship brought them some troubles.
It’d be better to solve them.
“I never expected to have so many cousins.” Kara held her chin and smiled at him.
James raised his eyebrows, took a step closer to her, carried her to the railing, and whispered in her ear.
“Then why don’t you call me cousin?”
Kara hugged James’ neck in fright and patted his shoulder in fright.
“No, you are like my uncle to me. You are not my cousin. I don’t want a cousin, I want you.”
Kara rubbed his neck. James felt as if the place she rubbed against had been on fire. He pinched her slender waist.
“Why aren’t you so obedient on the bed?”
Kara blushed.
During sex, James always wanted her to moan. Sometimes, he ordered her to call him Uncle.
If she refused, he would torment her.
