Chapter 83

James was totally thrown off by what Veda had said.

He was aware Emily wasn't a virgin when they met again, but he didn't care at all. He wasn't the type to get hung up on that stuff. Heck, he was even ready to be the other guyin her life.

He was cool with all her past because what truly mattered was being with her.

But he never saw it coming that Emily's first time was with Lucas! And Veda even called it a rape.

Lucas had served time for raping a minor. Since their village was intellectually backward, they didn't make a big fuss about the incident.Moreover, Isolde paid some money, which allowed Lucas to be released in less than a month.

Emily had been living near Lucas for ten years. Jameshated himself for not meeting her sooner and not being able to take her away back then.

As she grew up, John probably also...

James couldn't bear to think about it anymore. Jealousy was driving him nuts. He even felt like killing them all!

James sat in his car for what felt like forever before he finally called his guys to dig up everything on Lucas. He needed to know every single detail!

James knew Veda was just trying to mess things up between him and Emily,hoping they'd break up.

If he let this come between them, he'd be as dumb as John. Meanwhile, Emily had just wrapped up a meeting and was working on some design sketches the Williams Group.

Her teacher was pushing her to come up with a new perfume formula.

Emily was a bit stressed. If she went to the lab,she'd need to take time off from work.What excuse could she use?

Just then, she got a call from the president's office asking her to see Wilder.

"Mr. WVilliams, is there something you need??"

At work, Emily called Wilder "Mr. Williams" to keep things professional.

Wilder motioned for her to sit on the couch and handed her a document.

Emily glanced at it and was a bit surprised. "Are you assigning this task to me?"

Wilder smiled. "Yeah, I thought about it and even ran it by James. He's cool with it. You're the perfect fit for this."

The East City project was meant to gather a lot of luxury jewelry brands to set up shops there. But right now, these brands were hesitant and hadn't signed any contracts.

One reason was that East City wasn't finished yet. Signing now would put the jewelry merchants in a tough spot if things changed later. Even though Golden Birch Group backed them, some jewelers were still on the fence. After all, Golden Birch Group's main gig wasn't Quigr Jewelry. If the East City project tanked, Golden Birch Group had other options, but some jewelers didn't. Emily's job was to negotiate with high-end luxury jewelry brands and lock in a ten-year exhibition contract for the future.

After thinking it over, Emily nodded. "Okay."

Then with a clever glint in her eyes, Emily asked, "Can I take the design sketches home to work on? If there are social events with the jewelers, I might not make it to work on time every day."

Wilder said, "Do what you need to. If you get too tired, just let me know,and I'll handle James for you."

Emily felt a bit helpless hearing Wilder call James by his first name.

James was definitely a charmer. He had quickly won over the Williams family.

That afternoon, Emily headed to the lab to work on some perfumes. When she finally checked her phone, it was already 8 PM, and there was a message from James: [Your assistant said you're not in the office.Where are you? I'll come pick you up.]

Emily was surprised and replied: [Where are you now?]

[Outside your company building.]

Seeing his reply, Emily quickly packed up and sent: [I've been out dealing with something. Wait for me at the intersection in front of the company,and I'll be there soon.] James just responded with a single word, and Emily could tell he wasn't in the best of moods.She took a taxi to the intersection in front of the company. James's car was already there waiting.

She got into the passenger seat and asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to pick me up after work today?"

"I missed you." James' voice was serious, not playful.

Emily reached out and playfully pinched his cheek. "You seem to be in a bad mood today. Who upset you?"

James held her hand and shook his head slowly. "No one."

Men sometimes lied, and when James was in a bad mood, he would deliberately tease her in bed.

He pressed her down on the bed, her body blushing, her two pink nipples unconsciously erect.

His strong fingers lightly twisted, trying to please her.

James was gentle tonight, not rough like before.

His caresses and kisses were soft and careful.

He made almost no sound, slowly kissing her lips. His penis was half-hard.pressing against Emily's lower abdomen, but he dlidn't enter, just teasing at her wet entrance.

Instead, he kissed every part of Emily's body.

Emily was kissed until her eyes were misty. Her petite body trembled,almost sinking into the bedding.

Emily could feel that James was particularly unhappy today. He seemed to be suppressing something. He clearly wanted her, but just kept teasing her like this.

James skillfully undressed her, pulling her into an intimate embrace.

Emily didn't know what was wrong with him. Feeling his penis thick and hard,she took the initiative to hold it, twisting her waist with seductive eyes.

She had long fallen under his spell. His body was increasingly tempting.making her feel empty and unbearable.

James couldn't hold back anymore, fondling her full breasts, his thick and hard penis thrusting in without delay.

Emily's sensitive body trembled with each thrust, a bone-chillingpleasure constantly emanating from their connection.

James massaged her full and soft breasts, continuously kissing her smooth neck, his penis teasing her tender vagina. Each thrust made her body tremble uncontrollably.

Emily half-closed her eyes, tears of emotion rolling down her cheeks.

But then, James suddenly whispered in her ear, "Who is better, me or John?11

Emily's body stiffened, her seductive eyes almost instantly turning clear,and a layer of coldness gradually enveloped her. She pushed James away fiercely, her foot against his chest,her gaze icy and resolute. "James, you've crossed the line."
