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

Although she said nothing, disappointment was apparent on her face. All women loved wealthy and successful men, not unambitious men who stayed at home and tended to household chores. “I’m going to Pacific Group.” She turned to leave. Her expression did not escape James’ notice. He saw the disappointment on her face. It seemed that after meeting the mysterious Mr. Caden, Thea’s opinion of him had unconsciously changed. Meanwhile, the Callahans were worked up upon hearing that they were allowed to move into the villa. They gathered to discuss an auspicious day to move in. James, on the other hand, was forgotten. Not that he cared. Sitting on the balcony, he smoked his cigarettes and contemplated life. Not long after Thea left, Lex came knocking on the door. The Callahans utilized all resources at their disposal to get Howard and Tommy out of prison but to no avail. As it was James who had called the police, Wyatt explained that James’ approval was needed for the

Gladys could not contain her excitement after asking Zavier out. James, on the other hand, left the house. His exit was not noticed by anyone. That was because the Callahans were not concerned about him. “The Watsons…” Leaving the house, James muttered to himself. He knew of the Watsons. Though it was a family that kept a low profile, its true power and influence could not be further from the truth. The Watsons were one of the representatives of the Five Provinces Business Alliance, which constructed the Transgenerational New City. The Five Provinces Business Alliance intended to build the Transgenerational New City as a world-class financial center. That way, their reputation and prestige would further rise. Unexpectedly, James took an interest in the Transgenerational New City. Through some backdoor means, he bought the place at the lowest price available. He pulled his phone out and called Yacob Lynch, the President of the Five Provinces Business Alliance. He
