Chapter 118
Ignoring the tearing pain in his thigh, James raised his leather shoes and, with the tip of his foot, lifted
her chin as she was thinking
“Hey! I’m in this situation because of the people you sent Do you think I should be grateful to you?”
Scarlett had not noticed the anger in James eyes until now, but as she was forced to look up at him, the
overflowing anger was uninustakable.
Frightened by the anger, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to remain calm, refusing to sumb
to fear.
Mr. Forrest, are you mistaken? I have never sent anyone to hurt you. I don’t know who the masked
person is that you’re referring to…
Even though James suspected that she had dispatched Mr. Yea to hurt him, she could not confess that
she was aware of Mr. Yea
Furthermore, it was not her who had instructed Mr. Yea to handle James; she only became aware of it
the following day. when she read the news.
Moreover, she was also a victim.
“You don’t know him?”
Jamesughed sinisterly once more upon seeing her act dumb,
“Hebe”

Scarlett’s skin prickled with goosebumps at the strange and gloomyughter.
She clenched her fists and denied it. That masked man even had the audacity to interact with Mr.
Forrest. This implies he has a powerful background. How could someone like me evere into
contact with someone of such a high caliber…”
James still curled his lips into a sinister smile. “You remain as capable as ever. You almost had me
fooled again, but this
time…”
He paused momentarily, his eyes suddenly zing with a fierce anger.
“I will never let you go!”
After he said this, he kicked Scarlett hard away.
Scarlett, kicked to the ground, had no time to react before the bodyguard’s stick ruthlessly struck her
back.
The stick came down, and a searing pain shot through her back, causing her to break out in a cold
sweat instantly.
“Hey! Joining forces with Jackman Group to deceive me is one thing, but sending people to hurt me?
Do you think I’m a pushover?”
His appearance was ruined. his body was crippled, and he had to face the huge penalty fee imposed
by the Jackman Group – all thanks to this slut.
After waking from hisa and learning that his father had been apprehended and Forrest Group had
declined, he sought to enlist Scarlett’s aid in signing the western section of the city in order to revive
Forrest Group.
Hunt, the Vice President of Jackman Group, informed him that, in ordance with the contract, he had
breached it, thus forfenting the development rights of the western section of the city and incurring a
hefty sum of liquidated damages to be paid to Jackman Group
Once the scandal broke out, it became clear to him that Forrest Group would have to pay billions of
liquidated damages to Jackman Group, and that there could be no negative news for them.
As if he had foreseen the negative newsing, he requested an amendment to the contract and then
suddenly revealed the bad news. He not only caught him off guard, but also made him pay a hefty sum
of liquidated damages.
He suspected that Scarlett was the one who had colluded with Jackman Group’s Vice President Hunt
to y with him. After all, it was Mr. Hunt who had requested the contract alteration that night.
He was not certain if the masked man was Vice President Hunt, so he could only try to get Scarlett to
talk!
“Speak up! Who is that masked man? Could it be Vice President Hunt?”
Scarlett trembled in fear as James’ cold voice came from above.
She couldn’tprehend why James suspected the masked man to be Vice President Hunt, and just
as she was about to query him, another stick came crashing down.
The excruciating pain of her bones breaking was so intense that she couldn’t even utter a sound,
instead curling up into a ball in an attempt to case the name
She was in such agony that she couldn’t utter a word, yet James assumed she was being obstinate. He
waved his hand, and another iron rod cruelly struck her back!
