Chapter 25 You Scumbag (1/2)
James really wasn't a fan of the way John flirted with Nina.
However, he was thrilled when he realized that Henry wasn't lying. John was a cruel man, but he was actually a different person with Nina.
If John had children with Nina, he'd have no time to keep an eye on him.
James decided he would do all he could to secure a happy and stress-free future. He snatched his uncle's phone and handed it to Nina.
”Nina, take it!” This wasn't as simple as it looked. He was essentially risking his life doing that.
As soon as Nina picked up the phone, she was a little flustered by the lingering warmth on it. But she still held it.
She had the phone so there was no reason not to look at it.
”James Shi!” John barked sharply, glaring at him with his fiery eyes.
The whole billiards room fell into silence. Nobody knew exactly what was about to happen, but everyone knew that it wasn't going to be good for James.
James' legs became weak. He blurted out, ”Aunt Nina, help me!”
The room fell into an eerie silence again. Nina froze. 'Aunt Nina?'
John's eyes narrowed. 'Aunt Nina?'
The others were stunned. 'Aunt Nina?'
Nina looked around and didn't see any other woman around them.
Who was Aunt Nina then?
She looked into James' eyes and asked in disbelief, ”Are you calling me?”
”Yes.” James nodded. ”Didn't John say that only his wife can check his phone?”
Then he winked at her, hinting to look at the phone in her hand.
”Didn't you snatch it and give me?” she asked.
”Isn't it in your hand now?” he asked in return.
Nina didn't say anything. She finally came to her senses and was about to throw the phone out of her hand.
How dare James set her up!
John quickly grabbed his phone. His anger receded and was replaced with a smug smile sprawled across his face.
This brat actually did the right thing.
”You shouldn't throw my phone. I don't think you can afford it.” John casually put his phone away, staring at Nina.
James could finally breathe. It seemed like John finally calmed down.
Luckily the odds were in his favor today. Otherwise he might not even see another day!
John could easily destroy his life.
He needed to get out of there right now.
”Uncle John and Aunt Nina, have a good time. I have something to deal with, so I need to leave.” He found his opportunity to make an escape and was about to rush off.
”What do you mean, James?” Nina was panicking. She just wanted to leave as well.
She didn't want to stay with John any longer.
She already checked his phone and there was no video. She could let the whole thing go now.
”Well, Uncle, I'd better leave as well. See you next time. Oh, no. I hope we won't see each other again.” With an embarrassed smile, Nina turned around and was about to run away.
She wasn't going to leave that easily, was she?
With a wave of his long arm, John grabbed her and flung her over his shoulder calmly. He didn't realize that this was hardly acceptable in a public place like this.
'He always cares about his image, right?
But why is he acting like a womanizer?' she thought.
”Ahhh... Let go of me! You scumbag!” Nina screamed. Her face was bloodshot red as she squirmed for her life.
She never thought that it would come to this.
”Shut up!” With a darkened face, John struck her body, silencing her. He then threatened the others in the room, ”
I don't want anyone to know what happened today. Otherwise...”
”Yes, Mr. Shi. Don't worry. We won't say anything.”
