Thea shook her head and said, “We’ll talk about it after James’ case is over.” “Sure, of course.” Gladys stood up and pulled Benjamin away, smiling. “Thea, take a rest. Your father and I will be at the hospital visiting your brother.” “Mhm.” Thea nodded. After Gladys and Benjamin left, Thea looked at Quincy and sighed in dejection. “Quincy, do you think I’m too heartless? After all, since he married into the Callahans, he has been working tirelessly without a single complaint. Besides, he treats me really well. Now that something’s happened to him, I’m thinking of divorcing him.” “I…” Quincy did not know what to say. From her perspective, she really hoped for Thea and James to divorce. However, as Thea’s best friend, she did not wish for them to separate. “I thought James was an honest and upright man. I don’t mind him spending money on hookers, but how could he commit such a crime? I can’t forgive him,” Thea said. “Mhm.” As Quincy did not know what to say, she we
Chapter 562
Thea had been thinking of divorce ever since James got arrested. She planned to divorce him after he was found guilty. She was not even twenty-eight years of age and was in the prime of her life. She did not wish to wait for James for the rest of her life. She would be old by the time James got released from prison and did not wish to live with regrets. She knew she had let James down. It was because of her that James did not manage to suppress his desire and went down the wrong path. However, since it had already happened, there was no use blaming herself. Meanwhile, James had switched places with a substitute. He left the detention cell and headed to Majestic Corporation. At the chairman’s office at Majestic Corporation… James had put on a human mask. At that moment, his appearance had undergone a drastic change. Wearing a white suit, he was handsome and charismatic. “James, the business operations of the corporation have come under the assault of Oceanic Commer

Though it was only eight in the morning, the venue was already packed with people. The place was rowdy. James arrived early. This time, he kept a low profile. He had instructed Newton to buy a seat that was not too far back nor too near the front. He took a seat and waited patiently. He was curious to see what Lucas Hamilton from Universal Hospital and Jonathan Harris from Goryeo were up to. At that moment, the emcee of the medical conference got on the stage. She was a popular actress called Delilah Kimberly. Wearing a red gown, her curvaceous figure was for all to see. With a mic in hand, she got on the stage. Her melodious laugh echoed throughout the venue. “How exhilarating! The medical conference hasn’t even started yet, and I’m excited about it already. I have long dreamt of witnessing our fellow genius doctors of Sol gather and compete for the highest honor in the medical world of Sol.” “That’s right.” A man in a suit walked out from backstage. He was Kevin M

Thea got off the stage. Delilah continued, “Second place goes to Christine Fallon from Herbal Biotech. She’s the granddaughter of the legendary Dr. Fallon. For the past twenty years, Dr. Fallon has been able to emerge victorious at the Solean medical conference every year. His granddaughter has now surpassed him.” Kevin said, “Please, Ms. Fallon.” Christine got onto the stage. Wearing a white dress, she was as graceful as a swan. She took the mic. Delilah asked with a smile, “Ms. Fallon, even though this is your first time participating in the medical conference, you still managed to get second place. How are you feeling right now?” Christine said humbly, “It has long been my dream to acquaint myself with my fellow seniors in the medical realm. Win or lose, I believe I have much to gain from this.” “Thank you, Ms. Fallon.” Kevin continued, “Third place goes to Jonathan Harris from Universal Hospital.” “Fourth place goes to Lucas Hamilton from Universal Hospital.” “F

James said, “They’re calling for you. Go.” “But, I…” James lightly waved. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.” “Alright.” Thea put on the earphones and swiftly made her way back to the venue. Under the crowd’s watchful gaze, she got on stage. The top hundred were gathered on stage. The competition rules had been established. Delilah and Kevin announced them. The rules of the medical competition were simple. It was a one vs. one knockout. Fifty winners would enter the winners’ team. Meanwhile, the remaining fifty who lost would be randomly matchmade and enter another one vs. one knockout round. The winners, again, would progress to the winners’ team. Then, they would again be randomly matchmade with a person from the winners’ team and continue the one vs. one knockout round. After announcing the rules, an LCD TV appeared. A hundred names were listed on it. Then, they were randomized and matchmade with one another. Soon, the results were out. “Let’s welcome

James had only planned to help Thea out in secret. He did not expect each doctor participating in the competition to have an assistant of their own. Francois Cortez, a doctor at Abundant Hospital, had been in this field for forty years. As such, he was experienced. It should not be too difficult for him to identify a hundred herbs using his sense of smell. With time, he could even identify all of them. Even if the time limit was ten minutes, he could at least identify thirty to forty of them. His assistant was an experienced doctor who had been in the field for many years too. She should be able to identify a dozen or so herbs in ten minutes. Meanwhile, Thea was someone who spent a fortune to get to the top of the rankings. The assistant of such a woman should not be capable either. Francois looked at the spotlessly clean James, who looked like an amateur and shot him a scornful look. From his perspective, he was surely an admirer of Thea. On the stage… Delilah an

James glanced at Francois and said coldly, “Mr. Cortez, are you calling into question the Solean medical conference’s impartiality? With so many reporters and cameras here… With an audience that numbers a hundred thousand and the millions of viewers who are watching live right now, are you trying to say that I cheated?” “You must’ve cheated. How can a youngster like you correctly identify so many herbs using your sense of smell in such a short amount of time? Even if you had your eyes opened, there’s no way you could’ve done it so quickly!” Francois could not believe it. He could not believe that a youngster like James would have such proficiency in medicine. Delilah said, “Since the opponent has raised questions about the fairness of the competition, I’d like to invite the jury to investigate if there’s anything wrong with his blindfold.” James gave his blindfold to the jury. After inspecting it, they found nothing wrong with it. “In that case, I officially declare Thea
Chapter 568
Lucas and Jonathan had heard of the rumors. The assistant by Thea’s side was the chairman of Majestic Corporation. Meanwhile, there were rumors that the chairman of Majestic Corporation was the Black Dragon. However, they knew the truth. The real Black Dragon was James, the son-in-law of the Callahans. They just happened to share the same name. Besides, the Black Dragon was currently trapped in his detention cell. Lucas had called the police station, and he was told that James was still confined and had not left the place. “We’ll go according to plan.” Lucas looked at Jonathan. Jonathan nodded, and his face darkened. “From today onward, there will be no more Solean Doctor’s Association in Sol. Meanwhile, the National Doctor’s Association of Goryeo will establish itself in this nation. In just a few years, we’ll have full control of its medical market. That way, we can control the citizens of Sol using medicine. If we conquer Sol, we can conquer the world.” Lucas smiled.
