Chapter 77: The Power of Money
James stepped out from behind the car once Kevin and his group had left.
He smiled at Linda and said, "Those people were the ones who threatened you yesterday, right? Now that they have all apologized to you, you should be safe!"
"Whether I am safe or not is none of your concern," Linda replied coldly.
James was puzzled by Linda's tone. He thought Linda would be in a good mood now.
"Why were you hiding behind the car just now? Did you think these people were here to cause trouble for me and would drag you into it?" Linda looked at James disdainfully and continued.
It was then that James realized Linda had misunderstood him! His reason for hiding behind the car was merely to avoid Kevin revealing his identity.
However, to Linda, he appeared as a coward.
"I didn't mean to hide just now," James was just going to explain when a BMW Mini suddenly pulled over. And with a thud, the door swung open.
Pamela, the glamorous and attractive sales manager, stepped out of the BMW, looking around with her beautiful eyes. Spotting James, she strode towards him in her high heels.
James immediately frowned upon seeing Pamela. Having just avoided one troublemaker, Kevin, now Pamela's unexpected arrival posed a new challenge.
"It seems I can't hide anymore," James realized that even if he tried to hide now, it would be too late. As soon as Pamela spoke to him, Linda would surely notice something was off, and his cover would be blown.
At the entrance of Emerald Grove, after stepping out of the BMW, Pamela strode towards James with determination.
Pamela was looking exceptionally alluring today. Her luscious, waist-length hair cascaded effortlessly over her shoulders, accentuating her alluring figure, especially her smooth, slender legs. Her flawless features required no makeup, and her tall, voluptuous frame was highlighted by a chic black professional outfit, showcasing her near-perfect curves.
Pamela, who already had an aura of maturity, looked even more alluring in her outfit. Even her most casual movements exuded an irresistible charm, making it hard for anyone to look away.
"Mr. Smith!" Pamela greeted James enthusiastically, waving at him.
Upon hearing Pamela's words, Linda's eyes flickered with confusion. She had no idea why a woman stepping out of a BMW would address James as Mr. Smith.
Meanwhile, James gave Pamela a helpless smile, then turned to Linda and explained, "My friend has come to pick me up. I must go now."
"Your friend?" Linda, gazing at the seductive and alluring Pamela, found herself even more perplexed.
As a woman herself, Linda could tell that Pamela's attire and accessories must’ve come with a hefty price tag. Perhaps even a single earring could buy James's entire outfit.
She couldn’t comprehend how a poor guy like James could possibly know someone like Pamela.
"Yes, she is my friend," James gently nodded, not in the mood to continue this conversation with Linda. Instead, he headed straight towards the car.
Standing dumbfounded, Linda watched James's back, totally perplexed by the situation..
James reached Pamela and said softly, "Shall we go?"
"Of course, Mr. Smith!" Pamela nodded, then glanced at Linda, asking James in a soft voice, "Mr. Smith, is that lady your girlfriend?"
"No," James shook his head without hesitation.
"Good!" Pamela nodded thoughtfully and pulled a move that left James and Linda both shocked.
Gently, Pamela wrapped her arm around James's in an intimate manner. Startled by Pamela's action, James even forgot to push her away. Pamela's intent was quite clear—to make Linda think she and James were a couple, thus eliminating a potential rival.
While Linda saw James as a penniless young man, Pamela knew he was one of the top wealthy heirs in Lumina City. Seizing this opportunity could pave the way for Pamela to achieve her long-held dream of marrying into a wealthy family, which had been her lifelong pursuit.
Even if she couldn't marry James, she would be more than happy to be his mistress.
Yet, Pamela was aware that a rich heir like James were often surrounded by beautiful women, all with the same intention. Linda was likely just one of them. Pamela's actions were meant to discourage Linda and eliminate a potential rival.
Unaware of Pamela's intention, Linda felt a mix of surprise and disgust when she saw them being intimate.
"I never expected James to be kept by a wealthy woman. It's disgusting!" Linda muttered to herself. She naturally did not believe James and Pamela were in a normal relationship. Moreover, as Pamela was nearing thirty, mature and sexy, Linda believed James was being kept by her.
In Linda's opinion, men who were kept by women were usually not of good character. After muttering her disapproval, she turned and walked towards the residential area.
However, James remained oblivious to Linda's most recent impression of him as Pamela dragged him into the BMW.
Once inside the car, Pamela released James's arm and sat in the driver's seat, starting the car.
As they drove, Pamela gripped the steering wheel with one hand while the other hand traced circles on her leg, occasionally casting seductive looks toward James who’s in the passenger seat.
"Mr. Smith, I must admit you look quite dashing today!" Pamela licked her luscious lips, her tone exuding charm.
"That’s not what you said last time!" James felt a bit speechless.
The first time Pamela met James, she treated him like a mere delivery boy and was reluctant to speak a word to him. And now, however, she was flirting with him and even throwing flirtatious glances at him while driving.
The power of wealth, indeed, was strong enough to change people’s attitudes instantly. Despite Pamela’s seductive charm, James wasn’t interested in such a woman. He knew she was only after his money.
"I was mistaken last time!" Pamela exhaled softly and provocatively moved a bit, revealing her smooth, sexy legs under her short skirt.
