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

Back then, he had gone to Lex’s birthday banquet. However, James was not there. As such, he did not know James was the Callahans’ son-in-law. However, upon hearing about the House of Royals, he was now sure that James was the Black Dragon. “Understood.” Gavin nodded and followed close behind. Zavier pulled at him and whispered, “What are you doing, dad? He’s not the Black Dragon. He’s the Callahans’ son-in-law.” “Huh? Son-in-law? The Callahans?” Gavin frowned. Immediately, he remembered something. His face darkened, and he exclaimed, “Hurry and get moving! He’s the Black Dragon.” Gavin was puzzled during the incident at Lex’s birthday banquet. Lex was permitted to organize his birthday banquet at the House of Royals. So, how and why did such a disaster occur? Why did Scarlett Brooks show up? Why did the Blithe King send his men? They were acting on the Black Dragon’s orders. He hurriedly caught up with James. Zavier was puzzled. “I-Is he really the Black Drago

After resolving his business with Zavier, James left the House of Royals and headed to the Callahans’. He stayed at home the whole afternoon. Meanwhile, Gladys and the others had gone to the bank to deposit the money. Thea had gone to Pacific Group. As she had just taken over Pacific Group, she had a lot of matters to attend to. As such, she had to stay there past six in the evening. As Gladys had made an appointment with Zavier, she got worried upon seeing Thea being occupied with work. She gave her a call and demanded she returned home immediately. Thea thought something had happened and hurriedly made her way home. “Thea, change into something glamorous. Put on some make-up and wear some jewelry.” Thea was puzzled. “Mom, what are you up to this time?” Gladys smiled. “You’ve got a dinner date with Zavier. Stop dilly-dallying. Zavier’s a busy man. Now that he’s made time to have a meal with us, we should make haste.” Thea’s face immediately darkened. “I’m not going

Bryan walked in the moment Thea took her seat. With a bright smile, he said, “You’ve arrived, Ms. Thea.” Saying that, he snapped his fingers. A row of waiters walked in with gifts in their hands. There were dresses, necklaces, and handbags. “Ms. Thea, I took my time looking for these.” Thea frowned. Bryan had been very friendly to her every time they met. She had refused his gifts many times now. “Mr. Grayson, how thoughtful of you.” Gladys stood up and accepted the gifts. “Mom, what are you doing? We can’t accept them,” Thea hurriedly spoke. Gladys said with a smile, “We shouldn’t let Mr. Grayson’s efforts go to waste.” “Indeed,” Bryan said, “These aren’t worth much anyway.” “I’ll accept them on behalf of Thea,” Gladys said with a bright smile. She had accepted so many gifts that her arms had gotten tired. After presenting the gifts, Bryan made his way out. Soon, the food was served. James did not join in the conversation. Instead, he was busy eating. S
