Chapter 259
James turned to face Thea. She could not take her eyes off him. However, in the instant James turned, she was dismayed. She could not see his face as he was wearing a mask. It was not the same ghost mask from before. Instead, it was a silver mask. It covered his face, and only his eyes, nose, mouth, and chin were revealed. James turned and glanced at Thea. He saw the nervousness in her and gave her a slight smile. “Make yourself at home. Have a seat.” Thea recollected herself and took a seat on the sofa of the office. James took the seat opposite her. “M-Mr. Caden, thank you for everything you’ve done for me.” Thea opened her mouth to speak. Her voice was shaky. Anyone could tell she was nervous. James waved her off. “I would’ve died in the fire ten years ago if not for you. I know you’ve been through a lot over the past ten years. I could never pay back my debts to you.” James was speaking the truth. He could never truly repay his debts to Thea. Thea muster

James came to Majestic Corporation to meet Thea. After meeting her, he changed into the casual wear he always wore. “This is much more comfortable,” James muttered. He walked out of the office and took the dedicated lift to the first floor. Walking out of Majestic Tower, he stood by the side of the road to call a taxi. At the same time, Thea walked out of Majestic Corporation, dejected. Although she had met the person she wanted to meet, she did not get to see his face. However, he exuded a strong aura. His every word and action could sway the thoughts of others. At that moment, she saw James standing by the road. She froze. “Huh?” Hearing this, James turned. Upon seeing Thea behind him, he scratched his head awkwardly. “T-Thea, you’re here as well?” “W-Were you following me?” Upon seeing James’ flustered look, she instantly understood. Her face darkened. “James, do you not trust me? Is that why you followed me?” James was speechless. Why would he follow

Thea took a deep breath. Her tone softened. “James, I know it was you who treated my injuries. Since we’re married, I’m your wife. I’ll never betray you. But, what about you? You didn’t trust me and even followed me here. Do you take me for a vain woman who’ll divorce you and marry Mr. Caden just because he’s rich?” “Thea, I didn’t follow you here. I’m speaking the truth. Sigh… How am I supposed to explain this to you?” James was helpless. Thea lightly waved and interrupted him, “Fine, I can understand why you followed me. After all, Mr. Caden was the one who sent the betrothal gifts. Your worries are valid. Go home for now. I’ll have a look at Pacific Group.” “Thea…” At that moment, the glamorous-looking Quincy, who wore a red dress, approached them. From afar, she saw Thea speaking to an ordinary-looking man. Ignoring James, she pulled at Thea and asked, “How was it? Did you manage to meet the chairman of Majestic Corporation? Was it him?” Saying that, she took a phot

Quincy looked at James. She was not trying to look down on him. However, he was simply too ordinary. Someone of his caliber was not worthy of Thea. As her former best friend, she would never allow Thea to be restrained by such a worthless man. She also had her reasons for introducing Thea to Zavier. Zavier had been chasing her for a few years now. However, she did not accept his courtship. Though he was an excellent man, she only had James on her mind. All this while, she believed James was still alive. She did not know that the man before her was her first love. After being badly burnt, James’ appearance changed. Though his looks were restored, he now looked different. “James, have some self-awareness. Think about it. How are you worthy of Thea? Let’s do this. I’ll give you two million dollars as compensation for the divorce. As long as you manage your finances well, you won’t have to worry about money for the rest of your life anymore.” James chuckled. When did

The Blithe King smiled. “Black Dragon, let us not forget that I’ve been the one cleaning up the mess you’ve created all this while. Shouldn’t you at least help me out here?” James glanced at the Blithe King and asked coldly, “What do you want me to do?” The Blithe King immediately said, “You’re a legendary figure in the army worshipped by many. I plan to make you the Chief Instructor of the special training…” James immediately lifted his hand and interrupted the Blithe King. “Forget it. I’m living as free as a bird. I’m not making trouble for myself.” The Blithe King explained, “You’ll just be a figurehead. It’ll certainly motivate those who are participating in the special training. If we announce that those who pass the special training will get to meet the Black Dragon, those guys will do their very best. There’s no need for you to personally direct the training. You just have to make an appearance and give a motivational speech every once in a while.” “I see…” James w

Upon seeing James, Henry stood up immediately and hurriedly explained, “James, it’s not what you think it is. I don’t even know her. I bumped into her on the road, and now she’s harassing me. She’s even forcing me to provide her accommodation and food for three months.” “Oh?” James looked at the lady sitting on the chair. She was around twenty years of age. She had red hair and wore thick makeup and a revealing dress. He did not want to get involved. Smiling, he pulled out the document and tossed it at Henry. “What’s this, James?” “Have a look.” Henry glimpsed through it. The lady sitting on the chair noticed a seal on the document. She recognized it, and she knew it was a classified document. Her curiosity was piqued. She did not expect to see a classified document in a small clinic. She stood up and asked inquisitively, “What’s that?” She snatched the document from Henry’s hands. Henry roared, “What are you doing? Give it back.” His fierce look and loud vo

Henry really was acquainted with the Blithe King. He was even talking to him with a smile on his face. The Blithe King did not stay for long. He instructed Daniel, “Return at once.” “Hey, wait…” James opened the car door. “Give me a ride home.” Saying that, he called out to Henry, “Henry, don’t fool around too much when I’m not around.” Henry blushed. He had been fooling around last night. He was drunk and did not know how many women he had slept with. In any case, he had slept with many. Recalling the scene, adrenaline pumped through his veins. Only after the Blithe King’s car disappeared from view did he recollect himself. He took a deep breath and muttered silently, “I shouldn’t be fooling around anymore.” He turned. “Ah!” As he turned, he got a fright. Looking at Whitney behind him, he rebuked her, “Are you trying to scare me? At least make some noise when you sneak behind me!” Biting her finger, Whitney stared at Henry and asked, “Henry, who exactly a

James returned to the Callahans’. However, no one was home. Everyone had gone to Goodview Villa District. As James had left hurriedly earlier this morning, he had forgotten his keys. He wanted to call Thea but dismissed the idea immediately. He sat by the stairs outside the door and smoked his cigarettes. He pulled his phone out and played Plant vs. Zombies to pass the time. Soon, it was noon. Before the rest of the Callahans came back, Thea returned. She saw James sitting by the stairs the moment she got off the elevator. She frowned and questioned, “Why are you sitting here?” Hearing her voice, James hurriedly stood. Putting away his phone, he smiled. “I forgot my keys, darling. No one’s home, so I waited here.” Thea glanced at James and said nothing. She turned toward the door. Then, she pulled out her keys and unlocked the door. James followed her in. “Have you eaten, honey? Should I cook something?” “I’ve already eaten, but go and cook something up anyw
