“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

This was not too bad either. “Honey, you have to believe me.” “I believe you.” James looked Thea in the eye and said, “It’s my honor to have married you. Whatever the outcome is, I won’t blame you.” “Sigh,” Thea sighed deeply. Soon, Newton arrived. He arrived at the Callahans’ residence in just half an hour. Knock! Knock! Knock! Just as they were in a heated argument, knocks sounded from the other side of the door. A Callahan answered the door. Newton entered alongside Serena. Upon seeing the visitors, Lex immediately stood up without much thought. The rest of the Callahans followed suit. With a puzzled look, Lex walked toward them with his cane. “W-Who are you?” Newton was unrecognizable. Wearing a black suit, he exuded an air of elegance. On the other hand, Serena was glamorous in her attire. They saw James. However, following James’ instructions, they said nothing. Newton spoke, “I’m from Majestic Corporation.” Upon hearing this, their hearts sk

With the cops at the doorstep, Howard and Tommy freaked out. Lex stepped forward and glanced at Wyatt. As the patriarch of the Callahans, he had heard of him. “Mr. Jeremiah, could this be a misunderstanding? How could they have committed a professional crime? What have they done?” Wyatt glanced at James. James took a step forward and said, “It was me who reported them to the authorities.” “You?” They fixed their gaze on James. Tommy burst into a fit of rage. “James, you piece of trash! You’ve been leeching off the Callahans since the beginning. How dare you call the cops on me! And on what charges? Just what did I do?!” Howard said coldly, “This isn’t over until you give me an explanation.” Thea pulled at James and questioned, “James, what are you doing?” Everyone stared coldly at James, their gaze filled with hatred. What was he thinking, calling the cops? James turned to face them and replied coldly, “I trust Thea. She wouldn’t do anything that brought shame

“Forget it.” Lex lightly waved. “Lex, you can’t just ignore this,” Jolie cried out, weeping. “Howard and Tommy have been taken by the police. Even if they did something wrong, how could James call the cops? This is a family affair, after all.” “A family affair?” James said coldly, “Is framing Thea considered a family affair? Fortunately, nothing serious happened. Would you still call it a family affair if people had died?” “You…” Her face livid, Jolie pointed at James and rebuked him, “Who do you think you are? This is the Callahans’ residence. What makes you think you have the right to speak?” “That’s right. You’ve pushed it too far.” “How could you call the cops?” “Why can’t you just sit down and talk this through? It’s nothing serious, after all. Now that the police have arrested them, what should we do if word got out?” “Damn you, James!” The Callahans reprimanded James and Thea, blaming everything on them. Though David was delighted, he believed James had c

Thea could not retort. She did not know what to say. She pulled James into her room. Meanwhile, the others formed a circle around the betrothal gifts. Alyssa took a beautiful dress and some expensive-looking jewelry and dashed excitedly into her room. She changed her clothes and put on earrings, a necklace, and a ring. “Darling, do I look pretty?” She came out of the room and walked around the living room. David exclaimed, “Wow, you look gorgeous, darling! The dress suits you perfectly.” Upon hearing this, Alyssa was flattered. Meanwhile, Gladys wore a worried expression. She muttered, “Mr. Watson is rich, but so is Mr. Caden. Who should Thea marry?” “She should marry both,” David blurted out. Smack! Gladys smacked him on his head. He instantly shut his mouth and headed toward a box full of cash. “Mom, can I have this?” Gladys glanced at him. “No way. They’ll be kept in safe custody. I’ll be putting them in the bank tomorrow.” In her room, Thea was exasper

James was puzzled. ‘What went wrong? ‘Did she not agree to it? Why did she change her mind?’ He momentarily froze. Then, he quickly recollected himself and smiled. “I-It’s alright.” As he said that, he got off the bed and spread the mattress on the floor. Thea did not understand what had gotten into her. She felt terrified the moment James kissed her. However, she did not know what she was afraid of. “Y-You can sleep here if you want.” Although she did not feel ready, she still could not bear to see James sleeping on the floor any longer. James said with a smile, “It’s alright. I can sleep on the floor. I’ll sleep next to you when you’re fully ready.” James did not want to pressure Thea into it. In fact, he did not have the right. After all, he would not even be here without Thea. That was why he had decided to support and obey any decision she made. From Thea’s perspective, however, James was mad. “I…” She opened her mouth to speak. However, she was at a loss

After leaving the residence, James called a taxi and headed to Majestic Corporation. On the way, he called Newton. “Mr. Quinn, who’s currently in charge of Majestic Corporation?” “That’ll be me, James.” “Got it. Prepare a suit and a mask for me. I’ll be there soon.” Though Newton did not know what James was up to, he obeyed. “Alright, I’ll make the necessary arrangements.” After the call, James closed his eyes to rest. Soon, he arrived at Majestic Corporation. It was an eighteen-story skyscraper. Though it used to be a business under The Great Four, it had been returned to its original owner. After Newton took over, he renamed it the Majestic Tower. This was also the headquarters of Majestic Corporation. Majestic Corporation had only been established yesterday. Although there were rumors about its opening, the company had not officially announced its opening ceremony, nor had it held a press conference. However, news about Majestic Corporation’s hiring activitie

“Enough about me. Say, where have you been for the past ten years?” “Sigh…” Quincy sighed. “Back then, something happened to my boyfriend’s family. I was devastated and moved to Melpolis with my family. I only just returned. Coincidentally, I heard a member of the Cadens had survived and even managed to take back the former businesses’ of his family from The Great Four. I thought about it and decided to see what it was all about. I applied for the vice president position while at it.” Quincy looked at Thea. “By the way, I heard you got badly burnt while you were saving a Caden from the Cadens’ residence?” “Yes.” Thea nodded. “Who was it?” Drinking her coffee, she looked at Thea. Thea shook her head and said, “I don’t know. He was on fire when I saved him. The situation was dire, and I pulled him out of the fire without having a clear glimpse of his face.” “Did he not look for you?” “He…” Wearing a flustered look, she contemplated and said, “I guess he did.
