Thea glanced at them, puzzled, and asked, “I-I don’t know you all. Why would you help me? Please explain it to them, or else the people will spread rumors about me again.”She was really worried.Rumors about her would spread like wildfire if word of today’s incident spread.They might even say that she had slept with all three of them.“...”The three of them were stunned by her words.‘Explain? How are we supposed to explain?‘How are we supposed to explain that you have a very capable husband?’The three of them did not dare to say a word.James had been in Cansington for a while but refused to reveal his identity. They would be digging their own grave if they were to expose him.The hall fell silent for a moment.All the guests present had their eyes on them. Everyone was curious about why these three prominent figures were respectful toward Thea.James stood aside and glanced at them with a smile.The expression looked like he was threatening them, saying, ‘You guys c

‘It really is him.’Thea had already predicted such an outcome.However, she was slightly disappointed because the person she had saved from the Cadens’ villa and the ghost-masked man who saved her was executed by the Blithe King.Unfortunately, she would never find out the identity of this person, nor would she have the chance ever to see the person who had been secretly helping her.The news disheartened her.At that moment, another big shot arrived.The person was Charles, the executive chairman of Abundant Group.He immediately spotted the crowd after entering the hall.Seeing James, he felt his soul leave his body. His leg went rubbery and almost gave out.He rushed over and greeted them, saying, “Mr. Caden, Ms. Thea.”“Dad!“Dad, these people made me kneel!” Luke’s confidence immediately returned when he saw Charles and he complained.Under the previous pressure, he had no choice but to kneel, but now his father had arrived.Although his family was not one of the Gre

‘She earned the respect of so many big shots just by saving one person.‘Just who was this person?’‘Since he’s already been shot, why are these people still showing so much respect to Thea?’After several prominent figures were helping Thea, everyone did not dare to bother her anymore.This left everyone puzzled, and they began to make guesses.‘Could it be that these big shots really owed the ghost-masked man a favor?‘Now that they’ve repaid the favor, will they stop intervening in Thea’s problems?‘Yeah, that’s definitely the case.’Many people began to speculate secretly.After they came to a conclusion, they no longer went to curry favor with Thea. Instead, they surrounded influential figures to try and win their favor.Corner sofa.Thea was in a daze. James sat beside her and deliberately asked with a gloomy expression, “Thea, be honest with me. What’s going on?”“Huh?”Thea came to her senses and turned to James, who wore an angry expression. She immediately apolog

In fact, Scarlett did not spend that much to buy the trade center.The trade center took five years to be completed, and a total investment of 500 billion dollars was spent on the construction. The price of the center would surely be higher than the invested amount.Thus, even Yuna thought it could not possibly be bought without at least a trillion dollars.Thea was completely shocked by the numbers.She was just an ordinary citizen and had never been exposed to upper-class society. Never in her life had she seen that much money. A trillion dollars was an astronomical figure to her.What were a trillion dollars in cash?It was not a non-liquid asset.Take the Callahans as an example. Although they had assets worth more than one billion dollars, it was the value of the company. It was the total of all the family businesses added up together. In terms of cash, it was considered adequate if a family like the Callahans had one hundred million dollars.As for the Celestial Group, th

Peter was already a dead man to James.“What about Nine Fingers?” he asked calmly.“He is also from the same era as Peter. He rose to the top around the eighties too. However, this person is much more ruthless than Peter. His real name is Greg Martin,” said Henry.“When he was still a nobody in his earlier years, he offended someone, and one of his fingers was cut off.“Therefore, he went by the nickname Nine Fingers when he reached the peak.“Basically, he wanted people to know that he was the new sky of the underworld scene.“He has plenty of businesses, but the primary one is loan sharking.”…Henry reported all the information he had inquired about honestly. “Additionally, the Great Four have united and contacted Peter and Greg.”James’ face darkened after hearing the news.“It will be the tenth death anniversary of my grandfather, my father, and the entire Cadens in eight days. Since no one carried out my request, just kill them all to pay respects to the deceased Cade

The new heads of the Great Four and many underground figures were gathered in the villas.The head of the Xaviers, Hector.The current head of the Fraisers, Melvin.The current head of the Wilsons, Kelvin.The current head of the Zimmermans, Drake.These four people were considered the most influential figures in Cansington.Apart from those from the Capital, they were the real bigwigs of Cansington.However, at this moment, they all wore very serious expressions.In addition to these four, there were many other people present.One of them was in his fifties, slightly chubby, and wore a white vest with a gold necklace. A parrot sat on his shoulders as he played with a luminous white pearl.“What should we do now, Dawson?”Hector glanced at the middle-aged man who was playing with the pearl.The man was none other than Peter Dawson, who went by Dawson.Peter glanced at the ferocious-looking man beside him, who had a long scar on his face and was missing one finger. “What

James’ face was filled with rage.“You guys want to play? Fine, I’ll play with you guys and make sure you have a fun game.“Ask the Blithe King to come and see me at Common Clinic,” James ordered furiously.Henry glanced at James.He wanted to say that the Blithe King was not James’ subordinate. However, he swallowed the words and simply walked aside. He took out his phone and called the Blithe King.“Blithe King? Yes, it’s me again. James has requested you come to Common Clinic to see him.”The Blithe King had just arrived home from the military region. Yet before he could have a seat, he received a call from Henry.He furiously swung his leg and shattered the villa door.“Tell James I don’t work for him. He doesn’t have the authority to order me around.”Henry heard the Blithe King growl and smash his door. Then, he turned around and glanced at James sitting behind him.“I advise you to come as soon as possible, Blithe King. James is on the verge of going on a rampage rig

The Blithe King sighed in relief.He had already investigated James’ situation.Although James was short-tempered, he never hurt the innocent, only those who deserved it.The Blithe King was willing to cover it up for him if the dozens of people that died deserved it.“This is the last time.” The Blithe King stood up and left.After the Blithe King left, James did not continue to hang around. He instructed Henry on some matters, then left the Common Clinic and returned to Thea’s house.It was already eight in the evening when he arrived home.Thea was home before him.Gladys immediately complained as soon as James’ returned home. “Where did you go the whole day instead of cooking?”“I met a military comrade and spent some time catching up with him,” James walked into the house and explained.“Mom… He’s my husband, not a maid. It isn’t his responsibility to be cooking every day.” Thea hurriedly stood up and protected James.“He eats and lives in our home for free! Is he exp

Thea sat in front of her computer and designed clothes.James did not understand the design process and did not want to disturb her. He went to get his mat and spread it out on the ground.He glanced at Thea, who was seriously designing, and a smile that even he did not notice formed on his face.The next day.David’s car that got into the accident has been taken to the automobile center to be repaired and was already fixed. Today, he was going to pick up the car and finish some follow-up procedures, including registering insurance and so on.Gladys and the whole family were naturally going to follow him.Before leaving, Gladys asked, “James, can you drive?”James nodded. “Yeah.” Gladys threw him a car key and instructed him, saying, “Xara will be coming back today. You take David’s Honda to pick her up.”“...”James scratched his head. “Who’s Xara?” “Xara Hill is my cousin. She just graduated from college and finished her practice in the field. She’s planning to come back

The man driving the BMW X5 was named Nelson Moore.His boss was pretty well-known in the criminal world and owned a decent club in Cansington.His task was to drive the BMW X5 to find prey outside the bus stations, train stations, and airports.As soon as he found a pretty woman from out of town, he would approach and lure them.The moment they got in the car, they were captured.Nelson would immediately take out a drugged drink that he had prepared in advance as soon as the woman got in the car.Once the woman took a sip, she would feel drowsy and pass out. Then, they would sleep with the woman and take pictures to threaten her.Afterward, the woman would be sent to the club to earn money for their boss.Nelson looked at Xara.She was one of the most beautiful women he had come across and would likely earn them a lot of money in the club.‘Boss will surely reward me well if she earns him a lot of money.‘I have to get her.’Nelson got out of the car.He had a decent app
