Quentin was pleased with this outcome.
That son of a bitch James ruined his plan. All his hard work would be in vain if James did not at least
get his reputation ruined.
“Nonsense!” Thea stood up for James. “My husband isn’t like that! Why would he breed poisonous
snakes?”
“Thea, you may know him, but you won’t know what he’s actually like.”
“That’s right. How long have you been married to James? Do you actually know what he’s like as a
person?”
Some of them reprimanded Thea.
Quincy was now mostly awake. She climbed off the table and sat on a chair, then said weakly,” I know
James wouldn’t breed poisonous snakes. This was just an accident.”
James glanced at Quincy in commendation. This woman may be domineering, but she was sensible.
Quentin became anxious. “Don’t be fooled by him, Quincy! This is a poisonous snake, with acute
poison! You need to be detoxified with special means and medicine. How are a few silver needles
going to detoxify you? Not even my mentor would be able to accomplish that. Don’t just trust that kid
because you’re Thea’s best friend.”
James glanced at him.
“Just because you haven’t seen it happen doesn’t mean it can’t happen. It just means you’re ignorant.”
Hatred flashed through Quentin’s gaze as he stared at James. He then gave the man beside him a
look.
The man understood that look He turned around and left. Quentin continued, “Quincy, can’t you see
Thea and James planned this? They’re just pretending!” He looked at everyone else.
“We all know James married into his wife’s family. He’s trash, but Thea brought him here anyway. Why
did she do that? It must’ve been to pretend that James is cooler than he is!”
“The way I see it, Quay and Lorne must’ve been paid off by Thea to collude with James!”
The crowd suddenly had a revelation at those words.
“No, that’s not it,” Thea insisted. James, however, could not be bothered explaining. Colluding with
him? Was there a need for that?
What kind of person is he, able to imagine such a ridiculous scenario?
“Let’s go, Thea.”
Wasting more time on them was the last thing James wanted.
“Wanna leave?”
Quentin barred their way. “What, you’ve been exposed, so now you’re leaving?” he said coldly. James
looked at him.
“What else do you want?” He could deduce that Quentin was the one that had bred the snake, but he
had no evidence, so he said nothing. Yet now it was backfiring on him.
“Students, James must’ve been breeding poisonous snakes,” Quentin said loudly.
“If you don’t believe me, we can go search his room! I’ll apologize if we can’t find anything. But if we do
find something, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you the obvious, do I?”
