“Why should we go back when we’re already here? At least go inside and have a look around…”James took out his phone and was about to phone Alex.When he called Alex to inquire about a place, Alex told him to wait for him to arrive after giving him a location. Suddenly, a Rolls-Royce approached quickly and pulled up. A bald man in his fifties with a slightly chubby figure rushed over in a hurry.He approached James and gasped, “I-I’m sorry. There was a bit of a traffic jam on the way, so I’m a bit late.”“It’s alright. We just arrived. We’re mainly here for Henry today. This is Black Shadow from the Southern Plains. You have to help take care of him well tonight, Alex. You know the consequences if the General Black Shadow gets angry if you’re neglectful with the service tonight, right?”“I-I’ll ensure you’ll be satisfied with the arrangements tonight. Please head this way…” Alex gestured for them to enter.He personally led James and Henry into Great Dignity.Great Dignity, a

James laughed heartlessly.Henry was so embarrassed.Alex sighed in relief.James was finally satisfied.Michelle was still stunned and had not grasped the situation.‘Isn’t he poor?‘He has no money, car, or savings. How does he know the famous Alex of Cansington?’“W-would you like anyone else?” The manager kneeling asked cautiously.“We want all of them except this one, that one, and her.”James pointed at a few women and spoke.“You, you and you! Leave quickly. The others stay behind and serve our honored guest well!”“Understood.”Those who were named left quickly.The rest stood up and walked toward the three of them. “I don’t need servicing. You all go ahead and serve those two.” James stood up immediately.“I-I also don’t need the service. Please serve this guest well,” Alex also hurriedly said.All the women surrounded Henry.In an instant, there were a few lipstick stains on Henry's face.Meanwhile, Michelle was still stunned.‘So many?‘A dozen of us? Ho

“Alright, I will make arrangements now.” James hung up the phone and took a taxi to Yosef’s place.It was already afternoon.Yosef was afraid that James would come to him for revenge. Thus, he asked his son Charlie Zaborowski to get a few friends over at his house. He wanted to ensure that James would be beaten until even his mother did not recognize him if he dared to show up at their house.Yosef’s house.“Come, my friends. Have a drink!”Yosef’s son, Charlie, greeted his strong and muscular friends.The group of people drank beer and ate barbecued meat.A man in his twenties wearing a black singlet said confidently, “Don’t worry, Charlie. I’ll break that live-in son-in-law James’ legs if he walks through the door.”“I’m reassured that Nash is here today. I promise to give you the thirty thousand dollars after you teach that brat a lesson. Nothing less than that so you can go have drinks with your friends.” Charlie smiled and was relieved to have his friends present.“Here

Yosef, Charlie, and seven or eight gangsters were taken away.“J-James.”Before the policemen left, he looked at James and asked respectfully, “M-May I ask how would you like us to investigate the Callahans?”This policeman was the head of the Commercial Crime Investigation Department.His name was Wyatt Jeremiah.Before coming, he was aware of James' identity and knew he was the Callahans’ son-in-law. However, he did not know of James’ other identities.One thing he knew was that an ordinary person would not be treated respectfully by the Blithe King’s subordinate.He was not confident in how he was supposed to investigate the Callahans, so he inquired.“After the investigations, those who deserve to go to jail should go to jail, and those who deserve to be fined should be fined,” said James.“Understood.” Wyatt nodded.“I’ve troubled you again, General Highsmith. I’ll treat you to dinner some other day.”James waved his hand and turned to leave.At the same time, at the

After the people left, Tommy immediately went to the box containing the money, took out the stack, and counted them. He scrutinized them and shouted, “Grandpa, the money is real.”Lex was still trying to figure out who was this Mr. Caden, and why he was so generous.Tommy put down the money and walked toward Lex. Then, he said, “Grandpa, the only women not married in the Callahans are Megan and Yzabella from Uncle’s side. However, Yzabella already has a boyfriend, and he isn’t named Caden either.”“Yeah, this Mr. Caden didn’t even state whose hand in marriage was he asking for and sent so many betrothal gifts?” Lex nodded and said.“It must be for me. I’m so much prettier than Yzabella. This mysterious Mr. Caden is surely not interested in her. He is definitely asking for my hand in marriage,” Megan exclaimed and reacted in excitement.“Hmm.”Lex pondered for a while.Among the unmarried women of Callahans, Megan was the most outstanding one, and he also agreed that the gifts mu

James returned home.However, the family was not at home, and he did not bring his keys when he left.He was not in the Callahans’ family group chat, so he did not know they were headed to the Callahans’ villa.He phoned Thea.Thea had gone to Longevity Pharmaceuticals and asked Yuna for some orders.She was on her way home after checking the messages in the group chat.“A mysterious Mr. Caden?“Luxurious betrothal gifts?”Thea was taken aback after seeing the gifts Tommy had posted in the family group chat.It made her think of someone for some reason.The ghost-masked man.Suddenly, her phone rang.She recollected herself and answered the phone, “What’s wrong darling?”“Thea, where are you? There’s no one at home, and I didn’t bring my keys, so I’m stuck outside right now.”“I’ll be home in half an hour.”“Okay.”James hung up the phone.Then, he waited at the door.Half an hour passed by quickly, and a beautiful, fairy-like woman dressed in a casual dress appeared

Lex, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his eyes and glanced at James. “A-Are you really the one who sent them?”James nodded. “Of course.” “Lies! How could you have so much money?” Tommy shouted.“Stop being so shameless, James. Just because your surname is Caden doesn’t mean it’s from you!” Gladys also scolded him.“That’s right. The other party never stated who it was for. Plus, Thea is already married, so it's impossible to be for her. This Mr. Caden must be interested in me,” said Megan.Lex was incredibly uncertain about who the gifts were from. The delivery person did not say who it was for and only said it was from Mr. Caden.“Thea, do you know of any rich man that goes by Mr. Caden?” Lex glanced at Thea and asked.“I-I do.” Thea was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly.Many people turned to Thea after hearing her reply.“W-Who is this man?” Lex stood up and asked excitedly.James glanced at James and hesitated.She did not know whether she should say it or

“Dad, are you sure the gifts were sent by Mr. Caden and not Mr. Zavier?” Gladys asked again.She still felt that it was Zavier who had sent the betrothal gifts and not the one whom Thea had saved ten years ago.Lex smoked his tobacco and nodded. “Yes, it was indeed Mr. Caden. It seems it must be that man from the Cadens that Thea had saved ten years ago. These gifts are for Thea.”“I-I can’t accept them,” Thea hurriedly rejected.“Of course, we’re going to keep them! Why not?” David stood up immediately and picked up the limited Ferrari sports car keys inside the gift box.“It doesn’t matter whether it’s Mr. Caden or Mr. Zavier who sent it. It belongs to our family if it’s for Thea,” said David.“What’re you doing? Put it down! We haven’t figured it out yet! How could it be for Thea? It’s surely for Megan!” Tommy reprimanded.“Nonsense! It’s for Thea! We’re going to take them with us!” Gladys shouted.“You’re the one who is spouting nonsense! Who doesn’t know that Thea is marri
