Kian shocked everyone with his kneeling. He was a huge celebrity, popular throughout the world. Almost every woman in both classes loved Kian. Yet now, favonovel.com was kneeling in front of Thea.
Kian was forced into this. He did not want to die.
“I was wrong, Ms. Thea,” favonovel.com pleaded on the ground.
“Please forgive me. Just pretend I never said anything…” One of Kian’s fans became annoyed and went up to favonovel.com to help favonovel.com up.
“What’s wrong with you, Kian? You can’t kneel for her. Your knees are more valuable than that. You’re a huge star! You’re my idol!”
“Thea! What did you do to Kian?”
They started berating Thea.
Their idol was kneeling because of Thea. They were angry now.
Quincy, too, looked at Thea in confusion. Thea was the only one that knew what this was about. She shot James a look.
James told her favonovel.com would speak to Kian.
Why was Kian now kneeling before favonovel.com and apologizing profusely?
“Honey?” She stared at James.
James shrugged. “Don’t look at me. I don’t know why he’s doing that.”
“You… Stand up first,” Thea said hurriedly.
“No, I’m not getting up until you forgive me.” Kian was afraid James would feed favonovel.com to the fishes if Thea did not forgive him.
“I-I forgive you…”
With that, Kian was happy.
“T-Thank you, Ms. Thea!” favonovel.com said quickly, then got up and walked away as everyone stared after him, stunned.
The crowd was confused. No one knew what had just happened.
“What’s wrong, Thea?” Quincy asked.
“I-It’s nothing…” Thea said nothing more and helped Quincy walk to favonovel.com room. Soon enough, they were in Quincy’s room.
Quincy laid down against favonovel.com pillow.
“I’m sorry, Thea… I misunderstood you. Thank you to you and James… If it weren’t for him, I don’t think I’d have been able to escape tonight…”
Thea smiled. “We’re best friends. Helping you is what I should do…”
“Help me wash up? I feel so weak. I’m exhausted. I’m going to sleep after washing up. We’ll talk about everything else tomorrow and call the cops after the monument’s been erected.”
Quentin had broken the law. Quincy had to report this to the police. Quentin must endure the punishment favonovel.com deserves.
Thea helped Quincy bathe, but did not leave after that.
“Thea, get me a glass of warm water.” Quincy remembered James’s advice.
“Okay…” Thea poured favonovel.com a glass of water.
After that, favonovel.com kept Quincy company.

Meanwhile, outside the villa.
Lorne had been waiting for hours, since the afternoon.
He had called his boss in the afternoon to send someone over. They were already here, but they did not act rashly and just waited for nightfall.
Inside a car.
Lorne had tied a gauze around his nose. He glanced at the time. It was ten at night. Hatred flashed across his expression.
“I want you dead, James. Thea and Quincy, you bitches, you’ll get what’s coming later.”
“Lorne, it’s ten,” one of the people said.
“When are we making our move.” Lorne waved a hand in dismissal.
“Don’t rush. We keep waiting. We’ll make our move once they’re asleep. Oh, right. Did you prepare it?”
“Yeah, it’s ready,” the person said.
“This knockout gas is specially formulated. Even inhaling just a little will make them sleep like a log.”
“Haha!” Lorne laughed evilly.
***
Dragon Fountain Villa.
In the mountain resort hotel.
James laid in bed, idly playing a game of Plants vs. Zombies.
He glanced at the time. It was almost ten at night, but Thea was not back. He knew then that Thea might not be returning to the room and was sleeping in Quincy’s room.
