Chapter 106: Chapter 106 The News of the Murder

Julia Land clutched her stomach with her eyes closed.

Her face was slightly pale.

There was a faint pain in her belly.

Her period had come.

What terrible timing Aunt Flo had chosen.

Her periods were always irregular.

A kind policewoman gave her some bread and a cup of hot tea.

The lawyer sent by James Thompson was a top-notch attorney in the industry.

Julia Land could now be released on bail, and James Thompson was waiting for her outside the police station.

Even though she was released on bail, she still had to be available whenever summoned.

She remained a suspect.

Julia Land placed her hand on her abdomen and thanked the lawyer with a pale face as she walked out of the police station with him.

As she exited the station, James Thompson noticed her poor complexion.

He walked over quickly, grasped her hand, his fingers cold.

James Thompson picked her up, placed her in the car, and fastened the seatbelt, "Little Julia, is it your period?"

He knew her stomach would hurt when she was on her period.

Normally, he would control her consumption of cold things.

Julia Land pursed her lips, which had turned white, and nodded.

James Thompson got into the car, took out a spare blanket to cover her, slid his hand under the blanket, slightly lifted her shirt, and massaged the acupoints on her abdomen.

"Jasper Winters, have the hotel prepare a heating pad, and porridge."

"Century..."

"Right, right, century egg and lean pork porridge."

James Thompson seamlessly knew what Julia Land was trying to say.

He decided that once Julia Land got better, he would take her to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to get herbal treatments.

He had proposed it before, but Julia Land had vetoed it, as she didn’t like drinking herbal medicine.

This time he wouldn’t indulge her.

The moment James Thompson picked up Julia Land from the police station,

Noah Quarter received the information.

He looked down at the traffic from the 20th floor of the Quarter Family building.

The cars coming and going looked somewhat small from this height,

Just like he appeared to Christopher Moore and James Thompson, still a minor figure.

Every man has his ambitions.

With greater power and more money, many things are easy to obtain.

When Alexander Strong brought documents into the office, he noticed a distinct chill emanating from Noah Quarter.

"Chairman, there are two urgent documents, and Mrs. Quarter also called asking if you’re free to come home tonight."

Previously, Julia Land was Mrs. Quarter, now Arabella Shaw was Mrs. Quarter.

Noah Quarter opened the document and said, "Keep calling her Miss Shaw, I’ll go home tonight."

He had to continue playing the loving couple act with Arabella Shaw.

Men truly need to be more ruthless.

James Thompson was like a venomous snake.

If he sensed any hint of affection for Julia Land, that man would strike a lethal blow at the first opportunity.

Back at Noble Grid Hotel, Julia Land temporarily became an invalid.

All matters were handled by Mr. Thompson, except for the baths, which she took herself.

"Is the porridge hot?"

"No, it’s not."

James Thompson, as a man, was very careful when feeding her, and all Julia Land had to do was open her mouth to eat.

He wiped her lips with a napkin, "Lean on the sofa and rest for now, wait for the food to digest, and then I’ll carry you to bed."

Julia Land nodded her head, realizing that she no longer had any relatives.

In ancient times, she might have been considered a cursed lone star.

As for the matter of her biological parents being someone else, as Stella Langston had mentioned, she was not too eager to find them.

Currently, she only cared about the people in front of her.

"Mr. Thompson, without you, I think I would probably be looking for a heating pad and ordering takeout by myself,"

Julia Land thought for a moment, then added, "No, that’s not right, without you, I would have to find a lawyer before leaving the police station."

Julia Land yawned, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as she couldn’t sleep at all in there.

Seeing her yawn with tears of sleepiness in her eyes, James Thompson slightly curved his thin lips upward.

He did not speak because she had already closed her eyes to sleep.

His phone on the table blinked.

James Thompson glanced at the caller ID, seeing it was Jasper Winters, and picked up the phone before heading to the study.

"BOSS, Stella Langston’s body has been found at sea, and our people have discovered the hotel’s surveillance issue. It seems Mr. Moore is behind it."

James Thompson’s thin lips curved into a cold smile, "Where is he now?"

Meanwhile,

Christopher Moore, eager to cause trouble, sent Arabella Shaw the news suggesting Julia Land could be a murderer.
