He rolled over. Thea had her back to him. She was wearing a nightgown. However, it was a slip-dress. Her fair skin was fully exposed. James asked, tentatively, “Honey, do you secretly think I’m not worthy of you?” Thea rolled over. Their gazes met. “Nonsense. I’ve never looked down on you.” James continued, “Do you believe deep down that only someone like the mysterious Mr. Caden is worthy of you?” Seeing that he had seen through her, Thea panicked a little. She hurriedly explained, “N-No such thing. Since I married you, I’m your wife. As long as you don’t betray me, I won’t ever divorce you.” Hearing this, James was touched. He could not restrain the urge to kiss her. Their lips grazed. “Mhm…” Thea struggled a little. However, James did not loosen his grip. In just a few short seconds, Thea’s cheeks reddened. She reprimanded him, “Are you tired of living?” James licked his lips and smiled. “I love you, honey.” Thea blushed and rolled over. James d

After realizing that the company had thirty million dollars of debt still uncollected, Thea immediately found the relevant documents and scrutinized them. First, she looked through the order agreement between Pacific Group and Purity Pharmaceuticals. It was stated in the agreement that payment would be made with each delivery of goods and would only stop when 50% of the total payment had been made. The remaining 50% payment would only be made after the rest of the goods were delivered and had undergone inspection. Pacific Group had been making Purity Pharmaceuticals’ orders for the first half of the year. However, after all the goods had been delivered, Purity Pharmaceuticals refused to pay the remaining 50%, claiming that something was wrong with the quality of the products. As such, Pacific Group initiated proceedings against Purity Pharmaceuticals. However, Purity Pharmaceuticals was a large corporation and had an established legal team. In court, they presented releva

“Ah, you’re Mr. Kaffenberger?” Delighted, Thea immediately shook his hand. However, Walter clasped her hand and did not loosen his grip. Thea hurriedly retracted her hand. Walter scrutinized her. She was indeed a glamorous and elegant woman. As expected of the number one beauty in all of Cansington. He heard she had connections with plenty of bigwigs. However, he was undaunted. “Ms. Thea, I heard you’re here on behalf of Pacific Group.” He scanned from her head to her toe with a satisfied look. “Yes, I’m now the chairman of Pacific Group. As there were some disputes between Pacific Group and your company, I believe we should have a talk to straighten things out.” “I see. Let’s go to my office, then.” Walter made a welcoming gesture. Thea did not turn down his offer. She followed behind Walter and headed toward the executive director’s office. Thea took a seat on a sofa in the office. Meanwhile, Walter was seated opposite her, brazenly checking her out.

Thea left Purity Pharmaceuticals.“Perfect. A gem!” Walter was still immersed in Thea’s beauty and could not return to his senses.There was desire written all over his face.He had long heard of Thea but had never seen her in person. He finally witnessed her beauty for himself today.He took out his phone and dialed a number.“Come see me right now.”Soon, a long-haired man dressed in a yellow t-shirt and with a slovenly appearance showed up with a bright smile. “Mr. Walter, is something the matter?”“Get some men to go to cause some trouble at the Pacific Manufacturing Factory. Don’t go overboard with it. Just do enough so that they’re unable to operate normally,” Walter instructed.“Sure thing! That won’t be a problem!”“Thea, I warned you. You’ll be coming back to beg me very soon,” Walter muttered with a playful smile.Thea returned to the Pacific Group.She was unhappy that she could not get back the money.She prepared various relevant materials and some evidence a

Gladys sensed that there was something off about Thea.“Thea, what’s the matter? Why’re you frowning?” she asked out of concern.“I’m alright, Mom.”“Alright? It’s written all over your face.”“S-Something happened at the company. Purity Pharmaceuticals owes the Pacific Group thirty million dollars for some goods. I went to Purity Pharmaceuticals today and…” Thea explained helplessly.Thea retold the whole story to them.“Tsk. I never expected Purity Pharmaceuticals to have such a powerful background with both people from the underworld and legal departments. Not only did I not get back the money, but I even got us in trouble.”“Go get help from Mr. Caden. He’s very influential, so it should be easy for him to solve the problem for you,” Gladys said out of the blue.“I-I’ll consider it.”Thea ate in a rush and went back to rest in the room.She was exhausted and did not feel like thinking about these problems for the time being.Meanwhile, James secretly took note of the sit

Henry did not manage to get an answer and simply drove to Purity Pharmaceuticals’ headquarters.When they arrived, Purity Pharmaceuticals’ employees had already left work, and the entire building was pitch black.“James, it’s almost ten, and there isn’t anyone left. Why don’t we come back tomorrow?”“What tomorrow? Head to Purity Pharmaceuticals’ factory.”“Alright.”Henry turned around and went to Purity Pharmaceuticals’ factory.The factory was located in the suburbs and was quite far away.While they were on the way to the factory, Jake had already gathered 1,000 men and 300 excavators heading there.Jake also had another identity as the genius doctor of Cansington, Jay Fallon.It was impossible for him not to know Purity Pharmaceuticals since he controlled the underground intelligence network.Purity Pharmaceuticals had many shareholders, including a senior official in the legal department.However, the real owners of the company were Infinite Commerce.Infinite Commerc

With the order, the 300 excavators started moving simultaneously.300 hundred engines began to roar in an instant.Buzz…The sound was deafening like an earthquake, and even the ground trembled slightly.Suddenly, a car quickly approached, and a middle-aged chubby man got out of the vehicle. He stood before the excavator and shouted, “How dare you?!!”The man was Peter Dawson, more commonly known as Dawson.He was one of the most prominent gangsters in the criminal world of Cansington.Following Dawson’s appearance, 3,000 men dressed in black and holding iron rods appeared. They instantly surrounded the 300 excavators and 1,000 people.Seeing that Dawson arrived with some men, Henry asked, “What should we do now, James?”James waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry. We’ll wait for Walter to arrive first. That man has a death wish for being interested in my wife and causing her trouble at the factory.”Factory gate.Dawson glanced at the man dressed in black standing on the fi

Walter was shocked.He was confused as to why Dawson would suddenly hit him.He begged for mercy while being kicked and punched, saying, “Dawson, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I made a mistake! Stop hitting me! I’m begging you, please stop hitting me!”After beating Walter for a while, Dawson fell to his knees and pleaded, “James, please treat me as a fool who made a mistake and forgive me this time.”Walter was stunned to see Dawson kneeling on the ground.The person standing in front of them was the son-in-law of the Callahans and Thea’s husband—James.Why was Dawson kneeling to him?Walter stood up, still puzzled by the situation.However, his knee was injured, and he fell back to the ground as soon as he stood up.James glanced at Dawson, who was kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently, “Are you going to stop me from razing down this place?”“N-No…”Dawson did not dare to get angry and immediately said, “J-James, you don’t need to take any action. We’ll do it ourselves!”
