Chapter 484
Erin continued to cry, and miserably at that.
"Wargh..."
James shook her arm. "Just tell me-what truth were you talking about?"
"It's all because of you! And you're still asking?!” Erin grabbed his hand and suddenly bit him.
It was the second time he did so, and James was left clenching his teeth in pain. "Are you a dog?
Why did she have to keep biting him?!
"You're the dog! Your whole family are dogs! Urgh..."
James's cheek twitched. "Say that again and I won't be so kind."
It was fine if she cursed him, but not his family.
"Hit me if you dare." Erin suddenly dropped to the floor, her hair a mess.
She was certainly in a sorry state especially with her stink of alcohol.
Still, James merely rolled up his sleeve to check the teeth marks she left on his hand. ’Unbelievable."
After checking out from the front desk, he was about to leave when Erin wrapped herself around his legs. "It's all your fault. Don't even think about getting away."
James looked down at her, wondering if there was something wrong with her.
Why else would she be so incoherent? Nothing she said made sense at all!
He firmly pried her hands off and hurried to the entrance.
He paused for a moment as he reached the door and saw that Erin was still sitting on the floor, crying.
He hesitated for a while if he should do something, even as the people walking past the lobby all pointed and gestured at her.
Then, a man approached her, seemingly finding her good looking and trying to chat her up.
Worried that she would be taken advantage of, he returned to chase the man off before asking the front desk receptionist, "Is her room ready?"
"Yes, sir," the receptionist replied and handed him the room card.
James took it and scooped Erin up in his arms. "I'm just doing this because you're Mr. Jeffersons's sister."
Erin bawled even harder at that, leaving James speechless.
"Boo hoo..."
"Quit it!" Anyone who did not know would think that he was bullying her.
"But I'm not Isaac Jefferson's sister... I'm not even my parents' daughter! I was adopted!"
She had eavesdropped on Isaac and Mick's conversation. She was hoping that her father could find out where her mother was buried, only to find out that she was adopted.
She was not Layla or Mick's daughter, let alone Isaac's half-sister.
She was nothing but an abandoned orphan, who was lucky enough to be adopted by Mick and Layla!
It was such a bombshell she could not accept at all!
"Do you understand how I feel?" Her eyes were red as her tears gushed.
James was actually surprised-but now that he looked closer at her, she did not resemble Yvaine Lynd or Mick at all.
She believed herself a rich daughter, and yet...
Still, James said, "I know how you feel."
"No, you don't." She sobbed.
James opened the door and put her on the bed. "You may be adopted, but Mick has been great to you. There's no need to get so upset-"
"My family isn't my family. Do you know how that feels?!" Erin glared at James with beady eyes.
James sighed and put her to bed. "Just sleep. You'll feel better when you wake up."
Being connected by blood did not matter anyway-it was the heart that counted.
