Kara's Counterattack

Kara sat in James's arms and calmed down after a while.

The moment she realized that she was still sitting in his arms she remembered that he had warned her not to sit close to men. She suddenly rose from him, her face pale.

Then she lowered her head with embarrassment and didn't dare to look at him.

"Uncle James, I won't get so close."

...

James was lost in her attachment to him. But her standing away from him made him unhappy.

James found his tricks rebounded on him.

His thin lips were tightly pursed and his brown eyes deep. With a cool expression, he packed the documents in a file bag, then put the jewelry in a small bag and took her out of the room.

Kara was bewildered and terrified as she followed him downstairs.

"Kara is back. I was just about to call you for dinner."

Adam just returned without knowing what had happened. He behaved courteously and winked at Kathleen, who was sitting beside him and covering her swollen face from time to time.
