Do You Choose To Go With Theodore Or Me?
His light tone was somewhat mocking and indifferent.
His voice was not big, but it sounded very loud in this slightly empty space.
Hearing this, Elizabeth's heart missed a beat. At first, she was happy, but she became flustered in the next second because of the posture of her and Theodore... What would James think of her?
Sure enough, when she turned her head and looked over, she saw that James stood at the landing with a gloomy face. He was looking in the direction of her and Theodore with a slight smile.
He seemed to be looking at two strangers who had nothing to do with him, but he was frowning.
"James..."
Elizabeth hadn't seen him for two days. Seeing him, Elizabeth was happy, but she couldn't help but feel nervous and flustered at the same time. She didn't except that James would come here.
However, it was not time to think about why he was here. She... According to her understanding of him in the past few months, he would completely misunderstand her at this time, not to mention that he had quarreled with her because of Theodore.
"Are you... talking about the old days?" James looked at the two people not far away, glanced around, and then said, "In this place?" After that, he looked up at Elizabeth with deep eyes.
When Elizabeth heard this, she was even more panicked, and her body had begun to tremble. James said this, which meant that he had really misunderstood her and Theodore completely, right?
What should she do?
She struggled again, but she couldn't break free. Just as she was about to ask Theodore to let go of her, Theodore let go of her legs at once, raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face, and then slowly stood up.
Elizabeth was relieved. Before she could get up, Theodore suddenly rushed to her and grabbed her wrist.
She raised her head and looked at Theodore who was standing in front of her and looking at her with a smile. Words couldn't describe how annoyed she was, and she really hated Theodore.
"Elizabeth, James is here!" Theodore said with joy, "Tell him quickly!"
Elizabeth looked nervously at James who stood still and didn't know what to do for a while.
Her heart was beating wildly, and she was so flustered that tears ran down her cheeks.
"Let go of me." She pushed away Theodore's hand in a hurry as she looked at James and said in a panic, "James..."
James smiled blandly and looked down at the ground. However, unlike what he had done in the past when she met Josephine or other people who made things difficult for her, he did not come forward to help her out.
Seeing this, Elizabeth said to Theodore anxiously in a crying tone, "Hurry up and let go of me!" Why did he still grab her hand like this? Didn't he know that James had misunderstood her?
However, Theodore did not let her go. He smiled at James and said, "James, Elizabeth has promised to plead for me. Since you love her so much, can you show mercy to my family at this time? What do you think?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Elizabeth widened her eyes and glared at Theodore in disbelief. She was so mad that she just wanted to swear Theodore.
Although she was annoyed with Theodore, she was a little disappointed and jittery in heart. If it was in the past, James would directly come forward to pull her and protect her behind him. It was impossible for him to watch her being pulled by Theodore without doing anything.
After a few seconds, James raised his head. After snorting coldly, he lifted his foot and walked towards them. Then, he stopped two steps away from them.
Elizabeth looked at James and didn't dare to blink her eyes. She was nervy, wondering if James would treat her as apathetically as before.
She was not a bad person, but every cell in her body was shouting crazily at this time, "James, beat Theodore, the a*shole, and then take me away."
However, James just stood there and sneered at Theodore. Then he turned to look at Elizabeth and asked, "Did you agree with him?"
Elizabeth shook her head, "No! I didn't! Believe me! Really!"
James smiled lazily and then nodded gently, "Mmm." After that, he looked at Theodore whose face instantly turned pale, "Master Chao, did you hear that?"
Theodore looked at Elizabeth in panic, "Elizabeth, tell him! Otherwise, I won't have another chance! Just help me for the sake of my love for you! Okay?"
Upon hearing this, James's eyes suddenly darkened.
Elizabeth frowned. She really wanted to slap Theodore in the face a few times. However, looking at Theodore's appearance at this time, she endured it.
"It seems that you two haven't reached an agreement yet." James raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Elizabeth's wrist, "So, Master Chao, can you let go of her now?"
Theodore frowned. He knew that Elizabeth would not help him, and James would not change his mind. His whole body was weak, and he loosened Elizabeth's wrist dejectedly. The next second, he grabbed Elizabeth's wrist more tightly, "No! If you don't promise me that you will let off Chao Company today, I will never let go of her."
At this time, he hated his mother for calling him at that time. If she didn't call him, he would not throw away the dagger. If he had known that James would come here, he would never throw it. In that case, he could threaten James when he didn't agree with him. Moreover, if James intended to make things difficult for him, he could die together with him.
James sneered, looked at Theodore with amusement, and then said, "Ha-ha! What's wrong? Are you threatening me now? Look at you. Do you think you're capable enough to threaten me? Huh?"
In the past two days, in order to ruin Chao Company, he didn't sleep every night. However, when he saw Theodore's appearance with his own eyes, he felt very happy.
Yeah, he was overjoyed. Everyone would feel delighted when he saw his rival in love being so desperate.
Elizabeth still liked Theodore, didn't she? Chao Company had gone bankrupt because of him, and Theodore was in a poor position, which made him feel physically and mentally relaxed.
Even if Elizabeth wanted to be with Theodore, Theodore couldn't even protect himself, so how could he be capable enough to think for her?
Did Theodore still have the ability to compete with him?
Don't even think about it!
Theodore's face turned pale, and he roared angrily, "If you didn't play dirty tricks behind my back, do you think I would become like this? James, if you don't have a rich and powerful family background, do you think you can be so imposing?"
James raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Yeah, you're right. I'm just very rich. What's wrong?" As he said this, he took a step forward, leaned towards Theodore, and whispered in his ear, "What do you think? Are you satisfied with the feeling of suddenly losing everything and being played by me?"
"You..." Theodore clenched his fists in anger, "James, you b*stard!"
James took a step back and then looked at Elizabeth blandly. He asked softly, "What about you? Do you choose to go with Theodore or me?"
