Chapter 84 Jennifer's Class Reunion
James grabbed Curtis's hand tightly, and Curtis couldn't break free. His face turned ugly as he rudely exclaimed, "Who do you think you are? Let go of me!"
He struggled hard but found himself unable to move an inch, secretly surprised. This piece of trash has quite the strength!
Curtis exercises regularly and is a Taekwondo expert. His strength is much greater than the average person's. Yet being held back by James, he couldn't even budge? Just how strong is James?
The other four quickly surrounded James, eyeing him like prey, ready to grapple with him.
Jennifer had seen James's ability and knew he could fight better than most. However, she also knew Curtis wasn't someone to mess with. He was a Taekwondo expert, and with their numbers advantage, James was at a disadvantage.
She took James's arm and said, "Let's just go home."
"Okay," James agreed, nodded, and let go of Curtis.
Curtis was furious and wanted to beat James immediately. With their numbers, they could easily beat this goof-for-nothing, James, to death. But he held back his anger. He grunted heavily, "James, we will settle the score, next time, you will not be so lucky!"
James didn't take his threat seriously at all.
It was Jennifer who was a bit worried. She knew Curtis's capabilities. If Curtis was determined to take revenge on James, James wouldn't stand a chance against him.
James let out a warning, "Curtis, I've made it clear to you. I don't like you. If you're a man, stop pestering my wife. And don’t mess with me! "
After hearing this, Curtis simply said, "Whatever, we will see when the time comes." He turned and left, visibly angry.
The four men glared fiercely at James; one even made a threatening gesture towards him. They were restless troublemakers, relying on their wealth to make them get away with consequences.
James remained unfazed, but Jennifer was starting to feel afraid. She stamped her foot and cursed, "I never thought Curtis would be like this. I used to think he was pretty decent!"
Noticing James's slightly unnatural expression, she quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand. I have no relationship with him anymore, and I've never wronged you. I haven't done anything to betray you."
Seeing Jennifer's nervousness, James felt a complicated emotion. When had Jennifer begun to care about his feelings?
He took Jennifer's hand in his large one and said, "I trust you."
Jennifer's heart skipped a beat, feeling the warmth and strength of James's hand. She felt a sensation she had never experienced before, as if she had found a flutter of the heart.
"Mm!" she nodded heavily, smiling.
Meanwhile on Curtis's side.
Somebody asked, "Curtis, you're letting them off so easily?"
Someone else questioned, "With your temper, how can you bear it?"
One remarked, "Curtis, just say a word, and we'll make sure this guy gets what he deserves, no problem!"
Another added, "Yeah, Curtis..."
They chattered, urging Curtis to go after James. They were idle rich kids, spending most of their time flirting and clubbing, occasionally getting into fights. Their favorite pastime was bullying the weak. In their eyes, James was weak, thus making him their new target.
Curtis coldly grunted, "Of course, I won't let him off. I'm just letting him have a few carefree days!"
One of them excitedly said, "Great! I knew you wouldn't let this slide, Curtis."
Another inquired, "Curtis, how do you plan to deal with him?"
Curtis smirked coldly, his eyes filled with malice.
‘James, you're just a piece of trash. Daring to compete with me for a woman? You don't even know your status!’ Curtis thought with a cold smile.
'And Jennifer, if you dare to play with me, I will let you pay. If you don’t accept my love, don't blame me for being ruthless! I hope you haven't given yourself to that trash, or I'll show you how severe the consequences are!' Curtis declared inwardly.
James and Jennifer went home after breakfast.
After these two days, the relationship between James and Jennifer had improved significantly. It wasn't as tense as before. When they went to bed that night, Jennifer even hinted that he could join her in bed.
James's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Jennifer in her pajamas; her curves were accentuated, and her body was fabulous.
In the end, he pretended not to notice her hint and continued to sleep on the floor. He was afraid that if he got into bed, he wouldn't be able to control himself.
Seeing him continue to sleep on the floor, Jennifer muttered a curse and turned off the lights to sleep.
The next morning, Jennifer got up early, finished her morning routine, and came out to the living room to find James had already prepared breakfast. She felt a strange sense of joy.
After five years of marriage, James had made her breakfast almost every day. It used to be a routine, but now, as she looked at the breakfast on the table, she suddenly felt a sense of happiness.
James hadn't worked in these five years, but he wasn't lazy. In fact, he had quietly done a lot for the family, things she hadn't noticed before.
After breakfast, she went to the hospital and heard some news. Jonathon had been arrested for serious violations. Due to prostate dysfunction and failure, causing him to become irritable and abusive at home. His wife reported him.
Lindwood City Hospital was also implicated, as they had been using illegal drugs for years. The hospital director, Dennis, was facing the risk of imprisonment.
Upon hearing this, Dennis had already fled overnight.
As a result, Lindwood City Hospital's operations were severely disrupted, and there were fewer and fewer patients every day.
Upon hearing this, Jennifer immediately thought of James. That night, James had managed to get Jonathon drunk all by himself. With Jonathon suffering from prostate dysfunction and failure, it was highly likely that James was behind it!
She didn't find James's actions inappropriate; in fact, she found them satisfying. People like Jonathon had likely harmed many women before, and today's outcome was just retribution.
In Jennifer's eyes, James was becoming more and more mysterious.
As the end of the workday approached, Jennifer packed up, ready to leave. She received a call from a college classmate named Juliana.
"Hey, what made you call me?" Jennifer asked.
"You dare say that! If I didn't call you, would you ever call me?" a female voice came through the phone.
Jennifer chuckled, exchanged pleasantries, and asked, "Juliana, what's up?"
"Well, tomorrow night is our class reunion at Ql Restaurant. Don't forget to come," Juliana said.
Jennifer suddenly remembered that this year's class reunion was coming up, and she had no plans for tomorrow night, so she agreed.
Soon, James came to pick her up after work. She took the initiative to link arms with James and said, "Juliana called me just now. There's a class reunion at Ql Hotel tomorrow night. Will you come with me?"
James was puzzled. Since, two years ago, Jennifer hadn't taken him to any reunions because she thought he would embarrass her. Why was she bringing him along this year?
