Bella Bailey's brow furrowed, and she stared at the car that was driving further away. "How can this be?"Turner Bailey frowned. "Oh, was it?" Bella straightened her body and shook her head. "Nothing! I just thought I someone I know."Forget it! I must have just been seeing things.She knows perfectly well how much of a loser James Miller was.There was absolutely no way that someone like him would be in a fancy car like that."Seeing things? Oh, for goodness sake, stop playing with your headphone then! Do you still remember what I've told you?"Bella pouted. "I do remember. Oh, Dad, you made me come with you when Mom and sis were unwilling to.""I must say, I don't understand you. You would have preferred it if Ava Miller was gone. Now, you are putting on this show by visiting her in person with get-well-soon gifts. Dad, what are you thinking?"Turner closed his eyes at his daughter's grumbling.Nevertheless, she was telling the truth. In the past, he would not have bothered to come
Amelia's teeth were bared in a snarl. "You're something, James Miller! Oliver has been such a great help, and this is how you repay him?" Ava rose from the sofa. Her posture and tone were defensive. "What are you saying, Mom? What has James done to Oliver?" "How could you still defend him, Ava?" Amelia took out her handphone. "Look! See for yourself! Look at what he had done to Oliver!" Ava took the handphone and looked at the photograph but said nothing. She knew James very well. He was not the kind of person who would beat others up for no reason. Oliver Cooper must have said something he shouldn't have. Joseph's Bailey disappointment was deep and evident. "Ava, Oliver did not say anything because you are unwell, but James went too far this time. We have to make amends somehow." It was then that James rose to his feet. "I was the one who beat him up. I will take full responsibility for my actions. I will go and apologize to him." "Ha!" Amelia sneered at him. "Apologize? After
"Ava, I had a good chat with James. We were talking about our campus life..." Oliver led Ava to the VIP room with a smile.However, what they saw next shocked them.Their expression changed greatly as soon as they arrived at the door.Oliver said in disbelief, "James, what... What are you doing here?"Ava was crushed when she saw James and the woman in the VIP room. She went limp and fell in Oliver's arms."Ava, are you okay?" Oliver pretended to be caring.James narrowed his eyes slightly and soon figured out what had happened.Someone must have set a trap for him."Please... Help me... Save me... He was going to rape me just now." The woman threw herself at James several minutes ago and now changed her attitude. She hurriedly picked up her red dress to cover up her body and pointed at James in tears."What happened?" A group of men flooded into the VIP room upon hearing the woman's cries. In front of them was a strong good looking young man with a tattoo of a black dragon on his arm
At midnight Davis and Landon set off to meet Leo in their Mercedes Benz.Soon the two big shots renowned in HonorGrave got together in Blue villa."Mr. Meyer, they have arrived." The female secretary with a hot body pushed the door open. Davis, Landon, and the other people stepped in."Mr. Meyer, Davis, and Landon nodded to Leo respectfully.Leo said in a low voice, "Henry, tell them what happened."Henry stood up and looked around at everyone."Tonight... Last night, in Red hotel, Mr. Miller was arrested on a charge of attempted rape."David's wide eyes blaze with fury. "Who did that?" Landon was also angry. How dare they do that?"Henry shook his head and said, "According to what we know now, it's a gangster named Derek, and as to boss, we still haven't found out who he is and other detailed information."At this moment, Carlie narrowed her eyebrow slightly" Derek?"Carlie asked, "Annie, do you know anything about this man?" Annie had been in palm Club for many years, and she knew a
"Sir, who are you talking about?" Cody was startled awake and was still drowsy. He had a blank, puzzled expression on his face."James Miller!" Victor said gritting his teeth. "The guy you caught at Red hotel last night.""Oh, that pervert?" Cody said casually, "He's still at the precinct. I was planning to interrogate him once I woke up.""Interrogate him?" Victor snorted loudly. He pointed at the officer and said, "I'm warning you. Release him at once, or else I'll put you to sleep forever."Cody got up from his bed Immediately upon hearing that.Due to his abrupt movement, he accidentally banged his head on the bottom of the upper bunk.Based on his experience as a senior cop, he could sense that this Miller guy was no ordinary man.Cody wasted no time and led Victor to the interrogation room."He's here, Sir." Cody jutted his chin towards the room."All of you, head out first. Victor chased the other officers away. He pushed open the door to the interrogation room quietly."I'm so
"You've seen the video clip, right, Cody? Can you release this gentleman now?" Victor tapped on his phone screen and yelled.The mistress has come clean about everything in the video clip, including how she and Derek have set up."Sure!" Cody rubbed his nose sheepishly and did not dare to object anymore."I'm sorry for what happened between us this time, Mr. Miller." Victor looked toward James with a smile. "We've misunderstood the situation and misjudged your character.Fortunately, we've figured out what happened. I shall apologize to you again on behalf of the police department."Then, he added, "Don't worry. We'll learn our lesson and never make this same mistake again."Victor then made a face at the police Sergeant behind him, signaling him to apologize immediately."Ahem..." Cody cleared his throat with embarrassment and faked a cough before saying, "Pardon my mistake, Mr. Miller.""It's alright." James glanced at the two police officers and gave them a faint smile. He said, Th
"oh James, you're back!" Ava went up and grabbed his hand excitedly. "Thank goodness, you're alright!""Are you hurt?" She asked out of concern. She recalled all the chaos that had happened the night before and how vicious these people seem to be."I'm fine," James replied as he shook his head.Amelia found the antics playing out right before her eyes to be nothing but an eyesore."Well, well, I sure didn't expect you'd have the nerve to come back here." Amelia jabbed viciously. "You've brought nothing but shame and trouble to the family, yet you still dare to come back here.""Mom, can you please stop it?" Ava frowned, defending James. "He just got back, and what happened last night..."Amelia was immediately triggered by what her daughter said."Ava are you stupid or something? When are you going to learn?" Amelia had, had enough. She pointed at James and continued lashing out. "That piece of shit was suspected of rape and was locked up last night!""James Miller," she went on as sh
Amelia had never seen James with such a look in his eyes."You..." Amelia gulped. Her legs froze."What are you doing?" Daniella said, stoking the fire, "Are you going to beat up your mother-in-law here?""Let go of her!" Oliver rushed to the two of them right away, looking ever so faithful.James let go right away and scanned four of them.He initially thought Oliver was the one who had orchestrated the whole incident last night, getting him thrown into lock up and then saving him.From the looks of things now, Daniella and the two older Baileys were in league with him.James was rather bemused by the fact that these people had gone out of their way to set him up, seeing that they had and pulled something like that."Oliver, you were the one who made the booking at Red hotel. Then, you rushed outside all of a sudden to take a call after a few drinks," said James. He was concise and did not bother to beat around the bush."I was the only one left in the room. A woman came inside sudde
