Chapter 456

“Die!”

Quentin swung the wooden chair at the back of James’s head. James reacted quickly. He turned and
raised his arm just in time, and the wooden chair shattered on his arm.

The chair was sturdy and made of solid wood.

Quentin felt like he had swung the chair at a brick wall instead. His body recoiled and he fell to the
ground with a cry of pain.

James brushed debris off his arm, then looked at Quentin, now on the floor. He walked over to him and
pressed a foot on his body.

“Scum.”

“Ah!”



Quentin’s expression twisted in pain as he yelled. James ignored him and walked back to the bed. He
helped Quincy up and got her to sit on her knees. However, Quincy’s strength had left her entirely. She
slumped over like her bones had all liquefied.

James stopped her fall in time.

He pressed down on her shoulder to prevent her from falling over again. At the same time, he reached
out with his other hand and prodded her back, sliding down slowly along her spine to her buttocks. He




did this several times, then laid her down and picked up her arm. He pressed down on her shoulder
with a finger, sliding it all the way down to her fingertips. He repeated this on her other arm.

After that, he did the same to her legs, starting from the top of her thigh down to the soles of her feet.

This technique, combined with his silver needles, forcibly expelled the drug from her body. Quincy
finally regained consciousness. When her mind was clear, she spotted James. She remembered
vaguely how James was touching her and listed her arm to slap him.

“What did you do to me, you bastard?!” she shouted

James easily caught her arm.

“I saved you. Is this how you return that favor?” he said impassively.

“You… You saved me?”

Quincy was confused.

She recalled how she had entered a room with Quentin, but had little recollection about what

happened after that.

“Get up if you have energy. Wear something less revealing when you get to your room. Any man would
be pushed to his limits with you wearing that, “James said, then turned towards the entrance.

He opened the door and yelled at the top of his lungs, “Someone help! Look! Something’s happened!”

He did not care how this would affect Quincy. All he wanted was to prove Thea’s and his innocence.

That shout quickly drew a crowd.



Quincy saw Quentin on the ground still groaning in pain when she got up and immediately knew what
happened. She walked towards the door. She felt a wave of weakness overcome her and fell towards
James just as she got to the door. She grabbed onto James before she could fall and steadied herself.
Quincy still felt weak all over and held tightly onto James so she would not fall. Many people rushed
into the room. Thea, too, arrived, but froze when she saw the intimate scene between James and
Quincy. James spotted Thea, too, and hurriedly let go of Quincy to walk towards her. Quincy, now with
no support, caught herself with the wall before she could fall to the ground. She grimaced at James as
she stood up weakly.
