Chapter 75 Uncle James, They Pick on Me
Seeing that Kara was about to cry from anger, James cast a glance at Sophia with his lips pursed and his eyebrows raised. Sophia was frightened by him and explained with trepidation. "Kara, once Melody leaves, I'll clean it up for you immediately."
She wanted Rose to leave, but she couldn't say it. Since Melody was sick, her brother begged her to help take care of Melody for a few days. Sophia assumed that in that way Melody could take Rose back, so she agreed.
On the first floor of the villa lived the servants, hence Melody couldn't live there. Otherwise, given her bad temper, Melody must raise a rumpus.
She thought that Veronica's bedroom was available since Kara would not come back, then she let Melody stay there for a few days.
But Sophia didn't expect Melody to be so shameless. She put on Veronica's clothes and ruined them. The scarlet silk scarf around her neck didn't go well with her at all.
"Now, let that woman leave my mother's bedroom immediately!" Kara pointed at the door and berated the woman.
Hearing that someone was chasing her away, Melody put on a pale face.
She was competitive and stood up from the bed.
"Sophia, is this girl David's invalid? She's so grumpy. I'll be so sorry if she is hospitalized for me."
The anger surged through her chest that Kara had the thought of tearing Sophia apart.
"I only give you five minutes to get out of this bedroom!"
She could not say anything unpleasant, so she could only roar angrily.
When Melody heard Kara chasing her away like she was a beggar, she immediately put on a long face.
"Wow, talking big? Sophia, please say something."
Sophia was in a dilemma. Previously, she felt that she had done nothing wrong, but with James here, she had a guilty conscience.
Since Sophia stopped defending her, Melody turned to James, who was tall and upright, behind Kara. He looked like a wealthy man with an air of elegance. Melody then remembered what Sophia had said to her before.
"Kara, now that you found a sugar daddy, you should hide such a shameful thing. Why did you bring this man home? Are all the girls in the downtown so shameless?"
She didn't vent her anger enough after that, then she stared at Kara and came up with all sorts of malicious words to mock Kara.
"Are you shameless? How could the Quain family have such a bitch?"
"Melody, stop talking like that. This is not..."
This time, Kara was so irritated that she retorted, her eyes scarlet red.
"That's right, why would the Quain family raise such a barefaced person like you?"
Sensing the mockery, Melody flew into a rage. She seemed to be very good at quarreling and rolled up her sleeves to curse back. "Disgusting. If you don't want to die, go away!"
The man coldly said with a stern expression, his aura so powerful and terrifying.
Shocked, Melody stared at the man blankly. A pile of words was stuck in her throat, but she didn't dare to say anything else.
Sophia was also quite frightened. It was a piece of cake for James to kill a person.
"Kara, let's see what is missing in this room."
After everyone else moved aside, James asked Kara to check Veronica's things as he was holding her hand.
Kara's face was pale and her pink lips trembled with anger. When James held her hand, she gradually calmed down.
As soon as Kara stepped into the bedroom, she saw that Veronica's clothes were dug out from the wardrobe and a few expensive cheongsams were torn apart. They must have been broken for someone tried them on.
Originally, there were all kinds of silk scarves hanging beside the wardrobe, but now, there was not a single one left. Her gaze once again fell on Melody.
Seeing that Melody was wearing Veronica's clothes and shoes, Kara was so exasperated that she almost went crazy!
She felt regret at the thought of the things that Veronica had cherished in the past being destroyed by them.
If she had come back a few days ago to take a look, perhaps those things would not have been damaged.
Kara wiped away her tears with her sleeve and rushed out of the bedroom. James chased after her with knitted eyebrows.
She opened her bedroom with the key and pushed the door open.
Someone must have rummaged through the room for it was also in a mess.
"Kara, don't cry."
Seeing her still weeping after closing the door, James held her in his arms, comforting her softly.
"Uncle James, they're bullying me!"
Kara grabbed his hand with one hand and wiped her tears with the other.
In the past, no matter how Linda beat her and scolded her, she could endure it, but she could not endure Veronica's things being tainted by others!
"I know. I will make them pay the price."
She wiped her tears so rudely, like in a sulk, that her nose and cheeks were red.
James felt heartbroken. He gently wiped the corners of her eyes and held her small face with his big hand, looking into her eyes.
"Uncle James, I, I will not let them off!"
Kara withdrew from his embrace and walked to the desk before asking James to help her push the desk away.
James raised his eyebrows, "Any treasure?"
The desk was pushed aside. Kara knelt on the ground and knocked to spot the button. As soon as she pressed it, a brick rose up. "That's right, this was left by my father."
Kara took out a small box and opened it. There were some jewelry and some documents inside.
James flips through documents, property certificates, insurance contracts, and some employee contracts. "This is the treasure that daddy hid for me. He told me to conceal it first and take it out when I need money." "Yes." James showed a mocking smile.
Now, James finally understood why David begged him to take care of Kara instead of his family.
It turned out that he knew that the Quains were unreliable, so he left these things for Kara to protect her.
"Uncle James, help me, help me drive them out of this villa, okay?" Kara pleaded.
With her ability, she might have been beaten badly by Linda before she could finish her sentence of letting them leave.
"Alright."
James put her on his lap while wiping the tears off her face with a handkerchief.
"Am I very ugly?"
Uncle James said that she was the ugliest when she cried. Thinking of how ugly she might be, she covered her face and didn't want him to see her.
"Yes, very ugly."
James replied seriously. Looking at the desperate expression on her face, he said, "Don't cry so easily in the future. You're the ugliest when you shed tears for those who are not worth it. Do you understand?" "I see, Uncle James."
Kara nodded obediently, with the rims of her eyes red for the anger. She looked up at him timidly and admiringly with her bloodshot eyes.
James exchanged glances with her and saw his reflection in her pure and clear eyes.
Just like he was engraved in her heart. He was moved and his Adam's apple rolled.
