Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Christopher Moore, James Thompson, Lucy Thompson

James Thompson had a hard time getting what a drunk wanted, but he managed to lead Julia Land back to the room.

"Water." Julia Land sprawled on the bed in the shape of a "big character", muttering for water.

James Thompson went out and brought back a cup of warm water.

Returning to the room, he found that Julia Land had stripped naked...

Veins popped on the man’s forehead.

He approached the bed, leaned over, and helped Julia Land sit up to drink water first.

"Open your mouth, drink the water."

"Oh."

Julia Land sipped twice and then stopped drinking, raising her hand to rest them on James Thompson’s shoulders.

James had one arm propped beside her while the other steadily placed the water cup down.

The room was brightly lit.

Julia Land, eyes wide open, looked up at the man above her, still appearing dazed.

James clenched his jaw, his Adam’s apple bobbing, eyes pitch black. He pulled over a blanket, covering her body.

Earlier in the courtyard, the two had already sparked a fire.

"Just sleep tight and never drink alcohol again when I’m not by your side."

After James Thompson said that, Julia Land cracked a smile.

"..."

"Idiot."

*

The consequence of drinking is a headache in the morning.

James Thompson leaned close to Julia Land, his nose rubbing against hers as he smirked, "Did you enjoy last night’s licking?"

Having sobered up, Julia Land had forgotten everything about the previous night, wondering what licking?

But she stubbornly refused to admit her forgetfulness, calmly responding, "It was quite comfortable."

"Mm, I felt great too," James Thompson looked at Julia Land meaningfully, elegantly put on his watch, and checked the time, "I need to go abroad for a while."

"Ah?" Julia Land complained, "Going abroad, why didn’t you tell me sooner?"

And she still felt that James’s meaningful look implied something.

James Thompson, "Something came up suddenly, remember to drink your herbal medicine every day."

"Where are you headed?"

"Scott Stronghold."

Julia Land saw him out, yawning, "Stay safe."

James Thompson stepped out of the house, then suddenly turned around and playfully remarked to the little beauty Julia Land, "Little Pear, you’ve got sleep in your eyes."

Julia Land, "..."

She quietly closed the door.

Watching the door close, James Thompson chuckled to himself.

Jasper Winters was already waiting by the car door for James Thompson to board.

*

From today, Julia Land would no longer need to go to work.

She called out Sophia Hart and planned to go out together.

As she reached for clothes from her wardrobe, Julia paused suddenly.

Licking?

Julia Land, "..."

She vaguely recalled the playful moment they had in the courtyard.

**

Scott Stronghold.

A local woman led a group to the place where Christopher Moore lived and whispered a bunch of words softly.

"That man is strange. He brings women to bed but shrinks into a corner to sleep himself, then gives them contraception when he wakes up. How weird."

The group exchanged glances. Mr. Thompson had mentioned Christopher Moore’s mental health issues.

...

On the road to the airport, James Thompson received a call from Christopher Moore.

"James Thompson," Christopher Moore yelled while dodging the men James had sent after him, "Do you think I’d be scared of you? Lucy and the kids are dead, neither of us is going to have it easy!"

James Thompson responded calmly, "You’ve been mad for years, haven’t had enough yet?"

"I’m not crazy, you are, hahaha, you Thompsons are really cruel, Lucy was so sweet."

Lucy Thompson was a taboo topic for the Thompson Family.

Thinking of his deceased sister, sadness flickered through James Thompson’s eyes, "Christopher, stop the car, there’s no road ahead."

From his mad speech, Christopher softened again, "After all these years, I haven’t killed you yet, no wonder Lucy always said, her brother was the toughest. If you’re so tough, why did Lucy have to sacrifice herself to save you?"

That girl had always believed her brother was the toughest, which had always irked Christopher.

Christopher drove, staring ahead; this time, he might beat James Thompson.

Before James Thompson died, how could he possibly resign himself to die?

*

The first time Christopher Moore met Lucy Thompson was that year.

He was fifteen.

Lucy Thompson was fourteen that year.

The young girl, pale-faced, with light eyebrows and eyes, followed behind James Thompson.

Christopher had just transferred back to the domestic school from abroad, and his first friend was James Thompson.

He placed his hand on James Thompson’s shoulder, "Why did you bring a little girl here? We were supposed to go..."

He winked and made faces.

Fifteen-year-old Christopher Moore was cheerful, unlike the seemingly gentle madman he became in adulthood.

That year, James Thompson was also fifteen years old. He lazily placed his hands behind his head, "My sister, Lucy Thompson."

Christopher Moore looked towards Lucy Thompson, "So, she’s the legendary prodigy of your family, huh? Hello, little sister, my name is Christopher Moore."

The Thompson Family, to protect Lucy, rarely let her appear at parties or in public.

However, he also heard that the Thompson’s daughter was often sick.

Lucy’s expression was plain as she glanced at Christopher Moore, "Hello, Lucy Thompson."

Christopher Moore touched his head sheepishly and smiled.

Because Lucy was there, Christopher and James ended up going to play basketball that day instead.

Lucy just sat there, pulling out a book from her backpack to read.

Every time Christopher threw a ball, he would glance at Lucy and quietly asked James, "Did your sister come out here just to read?"

James replied, "Do you have a problem with that?"

"No!"

Lucy didn’t always come out with James.

However, the three of them began to meet more frequently and got to know each other better.

James defied Cody Thompson; he was determined to study medicine.

Christopher chose medicine as well.

Whenever Christopher had something nice, he thought of Lucy first.

The affections of youth are always pure, dim and blurry, until they grew up, and the relationship between Christopher and Lucy became clearer.

Christopher and Lucy got engaged not long afterward.

Lucy died.

Along with the baby inside her.

＊＊

The day after James went overseas,

Julia Land changed into a simple tracksuit and bought offerings to visit Violet at the cemetery.

The weather looked gloomy, as if it was going to rain.

"Today Arabella Shaw will be sent overseas by her father to hide from debts, she’ll never come back."

"By the way, Little Violet, I haven’t told you yet, I’m not Grace Land’s daughter."

Julia heard footsteps, turned her head, and saw two elderly people supporting each other as they walked by.

The old grandmother muttered, "Strange, I clearly remember my son’s tombstone was around here, but I can’t find it."

The old grandfather said, "You must be mistaken; let’s look slowly, and if we really can’t find it, we can call our daughter."

They walked past Julia.

Suddenly, something happened.

When Julia realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

Her nose was covered from behind with a cloth soaked in chemicals.

She scratched the person behind her as she struggled, but soon lost consciousness.

＊

Julia awoke again.

She realized she had been kidnapped.

It was a small room with a musty smell in the air.

She was tied to a chair, and upon moving her hands, found the ropes on her wrists were tied tightly.

Who could it be?

She had brought bodyguards with her today; they were just down the hill, and by looking up they should have been able to see her.

Where were they?

Julia sensed something was very wrong about this incident.

Outside, voices reached the room.

The door was opened from outside.

Julia stared at the doorway, her heart pounding, her eyes wary as two men walked in.

When she saw both men wearing ghastly masks, Julia suddenly thought of the old headmaster of the orphanage.

The headmaster’s room also had these masks hanging.

When Julia decided to report to the police, she knew that one day they would track her down.

One of the men in the ghastly mask glanced at the now-awake Julia and said to his companion, "Today, we almost got hit by that car chasing us from behind; we need to get rid of this woman quickly."

They rechecked the ropes binding Julia and left the small room.

The ghastly masked man took out his cell phone and dialed a number, waiting until the call was picked up.

He said, "Mr. Quarter, the dealings with Mr. Moore have been settled. Mr. Moore suggests we keep her at our place for a while before you come to rescue her—oh, like a hero saving a beauty."

Noah Quarter’s face darkened upon hearing this, Christopher Moore had changed his mind again.

"I’m coming to retrieve her right now."

"Sorry, Mr. Quarter, that won’t be possible. Miss Land has reported us and ruined several of our orphanage agents, we need to teach her a lesson. This is also why we agreed to Mr. Moore’s deal."

The man in the ghastly mask hung up the phone.

Noah Quarter put down his phone, turned to Alexander Strong, and said, "Today’s meeting is postponed; immediately start investigating—"

His words were cut off by a warning message from Christopher Moore.

[Do not ruin my plan]
