As soon as James entered the study, he picked up his phone and dialed Samuel's number.
"Help me to find a car. I'll send you the license plate later and check the surveillance video of him going in and out of Southern Lake. I'll give you at most an hour. Find all the information."
After giving a simple order, he hung up the phone.
He lit a cigarette and leaned back in his chair, his face dark and his eyes narrowed, full of anger. There was a cold and dangerous aura around, the anger that he had just suppressed was all out at this moment.
At first, he could see it as inappropriate action, but from his following actions, his instinct told him that the man's behavior would not be that simple. However, he did not know if the man was targeting him or Elizabeth.
If it wasn't for that Elizabeth hadn't been so frightened back then, he would've caught up with him to teach him a lesson after having been provoked like that. However, no matter what that person's goal was, James would definitely find that person out. He didn't want what happened today to react again.
If their target was him, then just come at him! But if was Elizabeth... they must be tired of living! James would be willing to find that man and send him off!"
How dare he lay hands on his woman! "I'll definitely make you regret living!"
After he finished smoking one cigarette, fretfully, he went on to light the second one.
Knock-knock
He sat still in his chair and said, "Come in!"
Adele pushed open the door and walked in. She looked around the room and asked, "Isn't Elizabeth here?"
"She's rest." James nodded slightly, then raised his chin and said, "Come and sit."
Adele closed the door and walked towards the desk.
After a few steps, James said, "Wait a minute."
As soon as he finished speaking, he put out the cigarette that he had just lighted, then stood up and opened the window.
Adele's heart warmed. "Thank you, Brother Jimmy." Then, he sat down on the sofa.
James thought for a moment and went over to sit on the sofa next to her. "How are you?"
"Except for wanting to sleep, everything else is good."
James nodded and said, "If you don't come to me today, I'm going to talk to you." Then, he looked at her and asked, "Adele, what are you going to do?"
"..." Adele pursed her lips and did not say anything for a long time.
James sighed and said, "Adele, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you, but your current situation. It's not a good idea to hide. You know the Bai family's power. Even if I really want to keep you, how long can you stay? I'm not afraid of trouble, but you and Isaac... After all, you're the parents of the child. No matter whether you want to keep it or not, or what you will do in the future, you have to face it. Am I right?"
"Yes, I know, Brother Jimmy." Adele gently raised her lips. "At that time, I also happened to know that old master Bai didn't want this child. I was panicking, so I fled. If I didn't flee, you know what would happen."
She sniffed and said, "I know I shouldn't love him, but I really can't control myself. He is good in every aspect, and he is polite to me and my family. He doesn't look down on me at all. He tutored me when I was studing. He would explain to me carefully if I didn't understand, when others bullied me, he stood up for me. I don't know when I started to fall in love with him. But I know that he only took me as his sister. I am not good enough for him, so I want to do my best in everything. He likes to be a doctor, so I am also a doctor. For nothing else, I just want to be closer to him."
"I think, when I'm good enough, I'll tell him my feelings. But when I came back, I drank too much, so... I'm actually very happy no matter how he thinks about me. But he's getting more and more estranged from me, and he doesn't even go home often."
"..." James didn't say anything for a long time, but he thought a lot.
No wonder Adele used to call him and Benjamin as brother, but she didn't call Isaac brother. She called him Isaac.
However, he could understand her feelings. Wasn't he similar to her in the past?
"Brother Jimmy, I know I'm a little shameless, but I'll die if you ask me to abort my child." Adele cried and said, "Please help me."
James frowned and hesitated.
He was not her biological brother. Even if he was, he had no right to ask her to abort the child.
However, the Bai family's attitude was clear. Even if he wanted to help her, how could he help her? Should he force Isaac to marry her? Even if they were really married, it would not be easy for her to live in the Bai family.
Many thoughts ran through his mind. Adele was crying in helplessness and her shoulders twitched when she sobbed. Looking at her like this, James wanted to persuade her to give up, but the words he said were—
"How do you want me to help you?"
