Chapter 117


    Scarlett’s heart abruptly ceased beating the instant sheid eyes on James, fear and nervousness


    flooding her heart.


    “Mr., Mr. Forrest…”


    She was so scared that her face paled and her voice trembled


    “Miss Sales, it’s been a while.” James said, tilting his head slightly as he noticed her look of


    apprehension.


    Scarlett’s body was quivering, yet she still managed topose herself and asked, “Mr. Forrest, what


    brings you to thedies’ restroom?”


    James seemed to smile, and his eyes rose a bit. “Nothin, I just wanted to express my gratitude”


    After he finished speaking, he removed the mask from his face, revealing a mouth that had been


    stitched shut with over ten


    needles.


    Scarlett took a step back, scared by the densely parked needles that looked a little intimidating.


    “Come here.” James said indifferently, beckoning her with his finger.


    Scarlett shook her head in refusal, and without further hesitation, she spun around and sprinted to the


    bathroom.


    Upon seeing this. Jarnes’ two bodyguards immediately gave chase.


    Two people blocked her way, one on the left and one on the right, then held her arms and lifted her up


    to face James.


    The bodyguards pressed her down and she knelt in a humiliatingly submissive posture at James’ feet.


    “Miss Sales, you are still so good at running”


    Jamesughed at Scarlett, then looked down at her with a sinister smile.


    But where can you run to?”


    He chuckled, a deadpan pervert’sugh. His cold eyes fixed on her as he finished.


    “Thanks to you, my hands are crippled, my legs are disabled, and even my mouth is impaired. How do


    you think I should express my gratitude to you?”


    Thest sentence was so weighty that it seemed he wanted to tear her apart.


    Scarlett trembled all over, frightened by his appearance.


    “Mr. Forrest, I don’t understand…”


    “Don’t understand!”


    James raised his eyebrows, his smile bing increasingly sinister and terrifying.


    That night I was presented with the contract, I encountered a group of people. The leader of the group


    had a golden mask


    on.”


    “He said something then, but I was so tortured that I fainted multiple times. I didn’t catch what it was.”


    *After I awoke, I endeavored to recollect and contemte it. Fortunately, the gods had mercy and


    eventually enabled me to


    recall it.”


    “Can you guess what he said then?”


    James spoke in a familiar tone, making Scarlett feel oddly uneasy.


    She shivered unconsciously when he mentioned the leader wearing a golden mask.

    She had suspected Mr. Yea to be the one who attacked James, but she hadn’t anticipated it to be true.


    Not knowing why James had suddenly brought up Mr. Yea, she pretended as if nothing had urred


    and shook her head.


    “I can’t guess…


    “Can’t guess?”


    James revealed a look of disbelief, followed by a sinisterugh.


    “Hehe, then I’ll tell you”


    Bending down, he smiled at Scarlett and presented her with a mouth that had been cut open by a knife,


    saying.


    “He dered that I had hugged her, kissed her, and let her sit on myp, so he desired to give me


    some punishment.”


    “I gave it careful consideration. The only one I have hugged, kissed, and put on my thighs, but never


    shared a bed with are you…


    When Scarlett heard this, her face turned a little pale again.


    It’s no wonder James expressed his gratitude to her just now, and also made an unexpected mention of


    Mr. Yea.


    It was due to Mr. Yea’s words that James suspected her to be the one who had given the order.


    She had assumed James was here to settle the debt from the fraudulent contract with her, but she


    never anticipated he was here to exact revenge!
