Chapter 472
James's eyes widened, and his face soon contorted and flushed in anger.
"Erin Gooding! What do you think you're doing?!1’
Erin was sitting on a chair nearby, leisurely eating some Shine Muscat while glancing at him sideways. "What's all the fuss for? It's just your clothes. You still have your underwear on, but don't expect it to stay that way if you don't cooperate."
James was speechless.
What was she playing at?!
"Let me go right now!" he snapped.
Erin, however, was not afraid at all, and allowed him to fume as much as he wanted, even blinking her eyes innocently at him. "You're all tied up. I can leave you here to starve you to death, but you're still ordering me around? Are you really sober?"
James could not say anything against that.
He did not want to admit it, but it was harsh reality.
As such, he restrained himself and flashed a fawning smile, "Erin, darling? Seeing that I'm a good friend of your brother, could you show your magnanimity and let me go?"
"Sure." Erin somehow agreed to it easily.
James was naturally delighted. "Alright, then untie me, please?"
Erin walked up to his bed, but suddenly stopped at the edge, watching him as she asked, "Where was my mother buried?"
James paused for a moment, but said, "I don't know."
"Nope," Erin doubted that. "You're Isaac Jefferson's lapdog-there's no way you wouldn't know. And don't think you can trick me either."
James did not know what to say just then, and wondered how that little brat grew to be so smart.
"Ask your brother if you like, but I don't know," James insisted-he knew that he should not admit it even if he knew, or she would bother him to no end.
"In that case, I can't help you." Erin shrugged and clapped her hands.
The door then swung open, and three burly tattooed men entered.
They were all Minervans, and appeared thuggish too.
Despite sensing danger right then, James tried to stay calm as he asked,' What are you doing, Erin?"
"These are my friends. They have acquired a taste for good-looking men, especially Zidonians. So I'm offering you to them-don't worry, they will give you some proper lovin'."
