Quincy was stunned, clutching her stinging cheek and nearly screeching.

She was the one whose shoes had been dirtied, the one who’d been slapped, yet Mr. Jar es was telling her

How could he take the side of this disgusting, discarded wite anii twist the truth like that?

Had he lost his mind?

“Who said I threw Lily away?”

James’s sharp voice cut her off. “I care for Lily, and I’m sincerely pursuing her. As for Mathilda… what is she to me? Whether you’re her friend has nothing to do with me.”

The cloying perfume radiating from Quincy was making him nauseous, and he had no patience to words “Apologize. Compensate. Or Moore Corp and Abraham Group go bankrupt. Idiot.

to waste

Quincy froze, the color draining from her face. She had never imagined James would dismiss Mathilda entirely, or that he would openly threaten to destroy both the Moore family and the Quinn family.

Before she could gather her wits, Patrick lifted his uninjured left hand and slapped her hard across the face.

He was terrified.

Last time, when he and Kendrick and Calvin had tried to force Lily in the private room, they’d offended. John and Simon. Abraham Group had taken a big hit, and his father had nearly beaten him to death.

If not for Elsa smoothing things over, Abraham Group might never have recovered, and John and Simon would have continued to target him. His father had spared him only because the damage had been

controlled.

But if James set his sights on the Quinn family..

With Mr. James’s methods, the Quinn family would be finished with no hope of recovery.

His father would kill him for real

He didn’t want to suffer the family punishment, nor did he want to lose his wealthy, high–status life.

Quincy? She was just a toy to him–one he’d long since grown tired of. There was no way he’d risk being destroyed by James for her sake.

Before she could recover from the blow, he landed several more slaps in rapid succession. “Why aren’t you apologizing to.. to Ms. Ginger? Ms. Ginger, don’t be angry. I didn’t know who I was dealing with and

Turning toward Lily, his expression shifted to one of nervous respect, as if he’d never looked at her with anything but reverence.

“Look at the jewelry in the case–see anything you like? Pick a few pieces, I’ll buy them for you as my apology.”

“My girlfriend wouldn’t want anything from you, James said flatly. “She’d find it filthy.”

Patrick flinched, unable to think of a response.

James didn’t bother with him further. Taking the tablet the store manage security footage.

The store’s system recorded audio as well as video. James could hear every word of Quincy and Patrick’s earlier arrogance–every insult, every threat.

At first, he had only planned to make Patrick apologize and pay damages But after hearing the recording. his mind changed.

That animal had planned to strip Lily, force her to lick Quincy’s shoes, and had even said he’d “f*** her to death,” laying hands on her right there in the store…

James’s face was like carved ice as he handed the tablet back. “Forget compensation. Let Abraham Group gol

He dialed Ashton on the spot, ordering him to spread the word: anyone who worked with Abraham Group was an enemy of James.

“Mr. James, please have mercy!”

Patrick’s legs buckled and he collapsed onto the floor, pale with terror.

Realizing all this trouble was because of Quincy, his eyes went red. He shot to his feet and rounded on her, pouring all his fear and rage into violence.

“Bitch! You dared to pick on Ms. Ginger–were you trying to get me killed? Apologize to her and beg for forgiveness!”

Like a mad dog, he grabbed a fistful of her hair and kicked her repeatedly. “If Ms. Ginger doesn’t forgive you and Abraham Group goes under because of you… I’ll kill you myself! Daring to act like you don’t know your place–‘ll kill you!”

“Patrick, you lunatic! Let go of me!”

Pain shot across her scalp as if a chunk of it had been ripped away, making her whole body tremble,

She didn’t want to bow to Lily–Lily, whom she loathed above all others.

But if Moore Corp went bankrupt, her father, who had always favored sons over daughters, really would beat her to death.

Worse, he might leave her half–dead and then sell her to some disgusting old man, condemning her to
