Chapter 446 Forced to Bow

“Mr. James, you.. what did you just say?”

Quincy was stunned, clutching her stinging cheek and nearly screeching.

She was the one whose shoes had been dirtied, the one who’d been pped, yet Mr. Jar es was telling her

topensate Lily for emotional damages and to apologize?

How could he take the side of this disgusting, discarded wite anii twist the truth like that?

Had he lost his mind?

Holding onto her self–image as someone above others, she couldn’t bear to i

head to Lily. Taking a deep breath, she rushed out, I… I’m really Mathilda’s best friend! You’ve already thrown Lily away, how

can you-

“Who said I threw Lily away?”

James’s sharp voice cut her boff/b. “I care for Lily, and I’m sincerely pursuing her. As for Mathilda… what is she to me? Whether you’re her friend has nothing to do with bme/b.”

The cloying perfume radiating from Quincy was making him nauseous, and he bhad /bno patience to words “Apologize. Compensate. Or Moore Corp and Abraham Group go bankrupt. Idiot.

to waste

Quincy froze, the color draining from her face. She had never imagined James would dismiss Mathilda entirely, or that he would openly threaten to destroy both the Moore family and the Quinn family.

Before she could gather her wits, Patrick lifted his uninjured left hand and pped her bhard /bacross the face.

He was terrified.

Last time, when he and Kendrick and Calvin had tried to force Lily in the private room, they’d offended. John and Simon. Abraham Group had taken a big hit, and his father had nearly beaten him to death.

If not for Elsa smoothing things over, Abraham Group might never have recovered, and John and Simon would have continued to target him. His father had spared him only because the damage had been

controlled.

But if James set his sights on the Quinn family..

With Mr. James’s methods, the Quinn family would be finished with no hope of recovery.

His father would kill him for real

He didn’t want to suffer the family punishment, nor did he want to lose his wealthy, high–status life.

Quincy? She was just a toy to him–one he’d long since grown tired of. There was no way he’d risk being destroyed by James for her sake.

Turning toward Lily, his expression shifted to one of nervous respect, as if he’d never looked at her with anything but reverence.

Patrick flinched, unable to think of a response.

James didn’t bother with him further. Taking the tablet the store manage security footage.

The store’s system recorded baudio /bas well as video. James could hear every word of Quincy and Patrick’s earlier arrogance–every insult, every threat.

At first, he had only nned to make Patrick apologize and pay damages But after hearing the recording. his mind changed.

That animal had nned to strip Lily, force her to lick Quincy’s shoes, and had even said he’d “f*** her to death,”ying hands on her right there in the store…

James’s face was like carved ice as he handed the tablet back. “Forgetpensation. Let Abraham bGroup /bgol

He dialed Ashton on the spot, ordering him to spread the word: banyone /bwho worked with Abraham Group bwas /ban enemy of James.

“Mr. James, please have mercy!”

Patrick’s legs buckled and he copsed onto the floor, pale with terror.

Realizing all this trouble was because of Quincy, his eyes went red. He bshot /bto his feet and rounded on her, bpouring /ball his bfear /band rage into violence.

“Bitchb! /bYou dared to pick on Ms. Ginger–were you trying to get me killed? Apologize to her and beg for forgiveness!”

Like ba /bmad dog, he grabbed a fistful of her hair and kicked her repeatedly. “If Ms. Ginger doesn’t forgive you and Abraham Group goes under because of you… I’ll kill you myself! Daring to act like you don’t know your bce/b–‘ll kill you!”

“Patrick, you lunatic! Let go of me!”

Pain shot across her scalp as if a chunk of it had been ripped away, making her whole body tremble,

She didn’t want to bow to Lily–Lily, whom she loathed above all others.
