Chapter 592
With James’ help, Thea became this year’s Asclepius. Although Thea knew nothing about medicine, the media bestowed her the title as a recognition of James’ contributions. James turned the tide of the competition and defeated Jonathan Harris. He defended the honor of Solean Medicine and the civilizational inheritance of Sol which had been passed down for thousands of years. Since James intended for Thea to be the Asclepius, he hoped they would obey his wishes as thanks for his hard work. James left silently. Though the medical conference was over, he still had his own problems to worry about. He was currently being prosecuted in court. Although he was framed, the fact remained that he forced himself on Tiara Youngblood. “What should I do?” Wearing a grim expression, James roamed the streets. Serena followed close behind him. James stopped and turned to look at Serena. “You should return first.” “What about you?” James dismissed her. “Just leave me alone for now
Chapter 593
A police car pulled up to the courthouse. James was escorted out of the car. He noticed that a crowd had formed at the gates of the court. Thea and the rest of the Callahans were there. So were Quincy, Scarlett, and the others from Transgenerational Group. Zigmund was present too. Thea walked over to James who was in handcuffs and being escorted out of the police car. “May I speak with him for a while?” The police nodded and said, “Make it quick.” James smiled at her weakly. “Why are you here, honey?” Thea raised her hand to interrupt him. “You’re going to be convicted, James. The judge might deal with you leniently if you admit to your charges. I hope you learn your lesson after going to prison. I won’t be waiting for you. Once your sentence is determined, I’ll divorce you.” James felt a lump in his throat. Throughout their marriage, they had constantly been at odds with each other. This led to them almost splitting up a few times. Now, Thea had finally uttered

He never would have thought that the man who sullied his daughter was the Black Dragon, the guardian, and Asclepius of Sol. This was the man who protected the country against external threats and turned the tides of the competition at this year’s medical conference. There was no way he could prosecute such a man in court. However, this did not change the fact that his daughter had suffered. “James, it’s not impossible for me to withdraw the case. All you have to do is marry my daughter. Although you were being framed, Tiara’s innocent too. Now that she’s no longer a virgin, you have to take responsibility for that.” James frowned. “Zigmund, you forget that I have a wife.” With a calm voice, Zigmund replied, “I overheard Thea demanding to divorce you outside the court just now. Perfect timing, I’d say. If that goes through, you’ll be able to marry my daughter legally. Tiara’s a pretty decent girl herself. Her beauty and talents are not beneath that of Thea’s.” James gently

At court… The jury was assembled. Many Callahans were also present. At that moment, a court staff walked in and addressed the crowd apologetically, “I’m sorry. Mr. Youngblood has withdrawn his case. He said it was all a misunderstanding and that James did not rape his daughter. James, the accused, has been acquitted.” “What?” The Callahans stood up in disapproval. Gladys immediately cried out, “What the hell? The evidence is irrefutable. What do you mean by acquitted? Hurry and call for a trial! I want James to rot in prison!” The court staff ignored her and walked away after the announcement. The Callahans left with bewildered looks on their faces. Quincy and Scarlett heaved a sigh of relief. Quincy looked at Scarlett with a bright smile and said, “Looks like he has dealt with the problem.” “Yes.” Scarlett nodded, returning her smile. “Alright, we should return now.” James was acquitted of his charges. He left the court. Outside, he spotted the Callahans.

Now that she knew the whole truth, she chose to forgive him. She even felt a little sympathetic toward James seeing how the Callahans treated him. Though he was the guardian of Sol, he received zero respect from the Callahans. James declined Zigmund’s offer, “Funny you say that, Zigmund. No matter how Thea or the Callahans treat me, I won’t divorce her.” “Sigh…” Zigmund sighed. He held Tiara’s arm and left. Tiara looked back. She watched James’ face as she walked away. She wanted to remember this man─the God of War and guardian of Sol, and the man who took away her virginity. She knew this could be a final farewell, and she might never see James again. So, she deeply etched his appearance on her mind. After the two left, James looked at the Callahans. He turned his gaze to Lex. “Grandpa, you promised me you’d never allow anyone to force me to divorce Thea. What do you think of all of this?” Lex was leaning on his cane smoking his cigar. He now understood what Th

Quincy did not drive off. She leaned against her seat and looked at James. She saw the frustration and helplessness on James’ face. She could not believe that the guardian of Sol and the Asclepius of Cansington would have such a soft side to him. “Why don’t you just tell Thea the whole truth? Tell her who you are, and she won’t want to divorce you anymore.” Quincy tried to console James. “I would’ve told her long ago if I could,” James said dejectedly. Then, he sighed, “Never mind, let’s just forget about this. Bring me to Sky Repair Shop in the suburbs.” “James…” “Hmm?” James looked at her in confusion. “What’s wrong?” Quincy opened and shut her mouth wordlessly. She then took a deep sigh.“I’ll help you out just this once.” “Huh?” James still had no idea what was happening. Quincy started the car and drove off in the opposite direction. “This isn’t the way to Sky Repair Shop.” “Who said we’re going there? I’m heading straight for Majestic Corporation.” “But

Quincy grabbed him and urged him on. “She’s almost here. What are you waiting for?” She pressed her body suggestively against his. James could feel the warmth of her body. He was a little nervous. Although it was merely an act to make Thea give up on him, they still needed to put on a passionate show. He was a little sheepish. Quincy, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Daring and bold, she took the reins. … Thea had put on a revealing dress for this meeting with the Black Dragon. She was recalling her mother’s advice which seemed sensible enough. On the way to Majestic Corporation, she had decided to offer herself to the Black Dragon if he so desired. She would use her body to push things along. The moment she divorced James, she would marry the Black Dragon. With Newton showing the way, she arrived outside the chairman’s office. She was brimming with hope. Outside the office, Newton explained to her, “Ms. Thea, the chairman is currently in his office
Chapter 599
James was really grateful to Quincy. With her help, Thea would finally give up pursuing the Black Dragon romantically. That way, the possibility of Thea divorcing him would be reduced. He thought about it and believed it was not too demanding an offer. “Alright, but only for a day.” Quincy rolled her eyes and rebuked him. “Please, are you really that miserable being my boyfriend? I’m still a renowned beauty, I’ll have you know.” James smiled awkwardly.“I’m already married. How am I supposed to explain to my wife if she finds out?” “Never mind, let’s get going.” Quincy did not push the matter. She grabbed James by the arm and turned to leave. From afar, they looked intimate with one another─just like any other couple. James promised her to be her boyfriend for a day. As long as she did not cross the line, he was fine with it. Thea, on the other hand, ran out of Majestic Corporation a sobbing mess. All this while, she thought that the Black Dragon was in love with her
