Ride on His Coattails

Kara followed Libby upstairs. Lying down for a while, she felt that the wounds on her back hurt, so she asked Libby to help her apply medicine to them.

When Libby saw the wounds on Kara's back, she felt so sorry for her. She couldn't help but wonder if Mr. James had hurt her.

It was so rare to see a young and beautiful girl around Mr. James, but he still treated her so sadistically. No wonder he had never had a girlfriend!

Kara did not know that Libby had misunderstood James. She was not feeling very well and could not go to school, so she called her teacher to ask for a day off.

However, the teacher told her that her aunt Sophia and her cousin Kathleen had gone to school to look for her and to take her home.

That reminded Kara of her grandma's twisted face and Sophia's hypocritical smile. She was so frightened that she hung up the phone immediately. She couldn't rest assured, so she even turned off her phone.

For the Quain Group's shares, her uncle Adam would never stop hunting for her.

However, with her capacities now, the chance of obtaining the Quain Group's shares was zero.

If only Uncle James could help her...

Thinking of the tall and strong man's sullen but handsome face appeared, Kara began to bite the tip of her chopsticks and ponder.

"Libby, do you know where Uncle James' place is?"

Hearing the girl ask the question in a low voice, Libby turned to look at her delicate little face, and she couldn't help but be amazed by it.

This girl looked like a porcelain doll. No wonder Mr. James liked her. Libby wanted to pinch her chubby little face every time she heard her sweet voice.

"Miss Kara, this is the villa of your Uncle James."

Kara's eyes widened in surprise. She had asked Uncle James to help her find a safe place, but she had never expected that he would bring her to his place!

"Then why hasn't Uncle James come back here in the past few days?"

"Mr. James has gone on a business trip. He is busy with his work. He only stays in this country for a few days a month."

So he would be back here after his business trip?

Kara could feel her heart pounding faster. Her amber colored eyes lit up as she said, "Do you know when Uncle James will be back?"

Libby smiled wryly. She was just a cook. How could she know about that?

Libby couldn't bear to see the girl lower her head in disappointment.

When Kara went upstairs to have a rest, Libby called Nolan after thinking for a while, and she found that James would be back tonight.

After Kara got the news from Libby that Uncle James would be back in the evening, she also ran to the kitchen to help before dinner.

Unfortunately, she had never been in the kitchen since she was young, and she could not even name all the things in the kitchen. She almost hurt her finger when she tried to chop some vegetables.

Looking at Kara's beautiful fingers, Libby wanted to refuse her help. However, since Kara knew that she was on her own now and that she had to be strong, she didn't want to give up any chance to learn.

After cracking eight eggs, she finally learned how to beat eggs. Libby's lips twitched as she looked at the big smile on Kara's excited face, as well as the bowl of eggs with eggshells in it.

After dinner was ready, Kara sat on the sofa, staring outside with her sparkling eyes.

An hour later, hearing a car park outside the villa, she felt very excited and there was nothing but anticipation on her face.

The door opened, but it wasn't James who had entered the villa. It was a skinny and sexy woman.

The smile on Kara's pretty face froze as panic appeared in her amber colored eyes.

The woman who had just entered the villa was Kathleen. She was wearing a beautiful black off-the-shoulder dress which went perfectly with her makeup, and she looked dignified and ladylike.

As she looked up and saw Kara standing in the living room, she was also so surprised that her eyes widened.

"Kara, why are you here?"

Kara's cousin, Kathleen, dressed like a lady, but once she spoke, that impression of a lady instantly vanished.

Kara also couldn't figure out why her cousin was here, and her first reaction was to flee.

Kathleen had always said that she would treat Kara as her own sister, but she would curse Kara in her heart and wished her dead behind her back. Kara felt that Kathleen in front of her was like a poisonous snake that could squirt poison.

That was why she was so scared.

However, she realized she was being a coward the moment when she moved her feet.

She didn't owe her anything, so why should she be afraid of her?

Even if Kathleen was really a poisonous snake, this was Uncle James’ villa. Uncle James had said that the Quains would not dare to harm her here.

So she tried to suppress the fear in her heart, clenched her hands tightly into fists, and took another step forward.

"This is Uncle James’ place. I should ask you the same question. What are you doing here?"

Kara was not willing to give in. She stubbornly raised her head and looked at Kathleen.

Kathleen looked coldly at Kara who was pretending to be calm and sneered contemptuously, "We were worried that you would suffer outside, but you actually hid here to enjoy your happiness."

"You said that this is your Uncle James' home. Kara, when did you be this shameless?"

"Since I've found you, you'd better hurry home. Grandma has been waiting for you at home!"

Kathleen felt disdain.

When Kara was in the Quain's, Kara would even cry when grandma yelled. And now the invalid actually dared to talk back! Did she think no one could touch her just because she was here?

Ever since the birthday banquet, father had people look for Kara, but they couldn't find Kara even after turning NK City upside down.

They all wondered if Kara was abducted and sold by human traffickers. If so, they would not need to kill her themselves.

She didn't expect to see Kara in James' villa. Kathleen was both shocked and angry.

Today, Madam Hemming told her to come here and serve Mr. James. She didn't want such a good opportunity to be ruined by this invalid. Kathleen impatiently called over her bodyguards and asked them to bring Kara home.

Seeing the two strong men coming forward, Kara dodged back in fear.

"Kathleen, this isn't the Quain's. This is Uncle James' villa. If you dare to take me away, he won't let you go!"

A faint sneer of satisfaction crossed her face. Kathleen said proudly, "Kara, your Uncle James is my fiancé! Do you think Mr. James will help you or his fiancée?"
