Cynthia stood up and said, "I'll help you upstairs, James."
"Okay."

downstams.She plopped herself on the sofa next to Quincy and grinned cheekily at her. "So. how farhave both of you gone?"
Quincy rolled her eyes and gave a terse reply, "Stop that. There's nothing between us."
"Pfft. Do you think I'm stupid? You literally look at him with lovestruck eyes." Cynthia pouted, madlydisappointed at Quincy's blase response.
Quincy sighed spotify.
‘She stopped herself from considering a future with James and what that would look like. She knew thatwhale Thea still clung to him. it was impossible for him and Quincy to have a happy ending.
Seeing Quincy's crestfallen expression, Cynthia could sense something was greatly upsetting her. Sheasked hesitantly, "Did… James get back together with Trea?"
"Yeah." Quincy nodded in resignation.
Cynthia scowled. "I don't care that she’s a gorgeous woman, I don’t like her. James treated her so well,and yet she mercilessly walked all over his feelings. If I were him. she wouldn't even be an option! I'dchoose you over her any day!"
Quincy chuckled at Quincy's frank response and said. "Alright, that’s enough. I saw a lot of peoplearound the house. You must have a chef, right?"
"Yeah." Cynthia nodded.
"Could you ask the chef to prepare a large meal? James gets hungry easily and is like a bottomless pitwhen be eats."

Quincy followed behind her.
Awoman stood silently outside the villa’s iron gate.
‘She looked to be in her 20s and was dressed in a plain dress, black stockings, and a pair of boots.
The woman had beautiful facial features and long black hair.
It was drizzling, and judging by her wet hair, she must have been standing outside for quite some time.
"Why'd she come here?"
Quincy walked out and frowned when she saw she was waiting outside.
Cynthia turned to Quincy with a confused expression. "Who's that, Quincy?"
Quincy explained to Cynthia in a hushed tone. "At the last medical conference. someone. druggedJames and kidnapped him to a hotel room. That woman was also drugged and brought there. The twoof them had slept together."
"Oh, that's the girl?"
Cynthia was surprised. Of course, she had heard about the incident.
However, she didn't know the identity of the woman that James slept with. Cynthia only knew that itwas the daughter of a famous painter.
Quincy approached her and asked. "Tiara, how did you find this place?
Tiara stood aside and said, "I saw the news. A reporter filmed James getting in a car and coming to thisplace, so I followed it."
"Are you here to see James?" Quincy's frown got deeper.
Tiara nodded and said wistfully, "He promised to marry me if he made it back alive from the war in theSouthern Plains."
