Chapter 339 - 343: Going Home
James Brown was standing under his apartment building at this moment, having smoked several cigarettes already. He had been standing there for quite a while, yet he just didn’t feel like going upstairs.
Firstly, he wanted to think about the incident that happened today and figure out who was targeting him; secondly, he really didn’t know how to face Gina Lopez once he went upstairs.
Just then, James’s phone rang—it was a call from Sarah Grandy. James answered it instinctively, and immediately her crying voice came from the other end. Between sobs, she said, "Uncle, come and pick me up. I want to stay at your place."
"What’s happened?" James furrowed his eyebrows.
Sarah Grandy, somewhat hoarse from shouting, cried, "They’re fighting again, non-stop, I’m going crazy."
Even as James heard the sound of Sarah’s parents arguing through the phone, his instinct was to refuse. However, as he was about to speak, he changed his mind and asked, "Would your parents agree to this?"
"I don’t care if they agree or not. If they don’t, I’d rather have the kidnappers take me away again."
James said, "Alright, I’m coming to get you now."
James hung up the phone, discarded his cigarette, and went to get his car. Soon, he was downstairs at Sarah Grandy’s home, where Sarah and her parents were standing. Surprisingly, there was a small suitcase at Sarah’s feet.
"Mr. Brown... I’m really sorry to trouble you with Sarah," Sarah’s father said, his face full of embarrassment adorned with several scratch marks—undoubtedly inflicted by Sarah’s mother.
James sighed and said, "It’s better to talk things out."
