“The actor brought his A-game. The invitation card looks lavish.”The invitation card was golden and shiny, looking like it had been plated in gold.Megan picked it up.It felt heavy in her hand.As someone who came from wealth, she recognized quality. As soon as she picked the card up, she knew that the border was lined with real gold.“It’s real?” She said in surprise. “It’s real gold?”On the other hand, Gladys had taken her phone out.She searched for Zane on the Internet.Her search yielded plenty of results.There was the Mining King, the richest man in the north…There were plenty of pictures as well.“Ah…”When she saw Zane’s pictures, she yelled in surprise. “It’s him! It’s him! That was Zane Dawn, the richest man in the north! His daughter is Cynthia Dawn.”Thea was curious. She peeked.Seeing the pictures and news articles, she frowned and muttered, “Was the man really a VIP from the north and worth trillions?”Gladys was agitated. “Thea, this is our chance! W
James had relationship issues.He had never really been in a relationship before. How was he to know what to do?Quincy had a job and no time to waste with him.She hired some love analysts for him instead.James waited in his office.At the same time, Thea went to the Callahans’ villa.The whole family was there.The three generations of the family were gathered.Lex sat on the couch, puffing on his tobacco pipe. Looking at his family, he said, “Zane Dawn from the north has sent out some invitations for his daughter’s birthday party. Have you heard of him? He represents true power. The families of the Five Provinces Business Alliance can’t even begin to compare.“We’re here to discuss how we could possibly get an invitation.“Now that Thea is the genius doctor of Cansington, our status is elevated. If we manage to attend the birthday party, we’ll be even more influential in Cansington.”“Dad, this could be difficult.” Howard looked troubled. “We’re talking about Zane here.
Lex looked at Thea and said, “Thea, don’t divorce James yet. Mend your relationship now. Wait till Zane transfers his assets to James. Once he gets the money, we’ll find a way to get our hands on it, and then we’ll get rid of him.”“Sounds like a plan!” Gladys smiled. “Dad, great minds think alike indeed. James is still useful now. We have to get the five hundred billion before Thea divorces him. Why would he deserve the five hundred billion anyway?”“That’s right, Thea. We’re all depending on you now.”“Thea, why don’t you call James now?”“Just pretend to be with him for now.”“Why pretend? James is part of our family anyway.”…Everyone in the family gave their opinions.Thea had had enough.“Even if I mend my relationship with James and he gets half of Zane’s assets, it’s all mine. It has nothing to do with you at all.”Thea’s tone was icy.After that, she stood and left.“Thea…”Gladys caught up with her and grabbed her. “Where are you going?”“It’s too stuffy in her
More than twenty love experts were present.They knew that the unassuming man in front of them was the owner of Transgenerational. He was worth trillions, powerful yet low-profile.If they made him happy, they would live easy for the rest of their lives.“Sir, please let us know your issues and we’ll come up with a plan for you.”“Alright.”James nodded and told them everything.He left nothing out.He told them everything including his resignation, marriage, and Thea’s recovery.He mentioned destroying the Xaviers, Thea being kidnapped, him saving her, and her falling in love with the other version of him.And now, Thea had fallen in love with the Black Dragon and wanted to divorce him.Thud.After James’ story, all of them fell to their knees.“General, please forgive us.”They did not expect the owner of Transgenerational to be the Black Dragon.What was more, they did not expect his wife to be in love with another version of him.It was so simple. Why did he need the
James leaned against the couch, smoking and muttering to himself.“Am I too nice to Thea? I only wanted to repay her. I listen to everything she says. So this isn’t love?”James was lost in thought.Was he in love with Thea?Or did he only want to repay her for saving his life?“What is love?”The love experts had analyzed it for him thoroughly.He felt that when he first approached Thea, he only wanted to repay her.However, after spending so much time with her, he had fallen in love with her. Losing her was losing everything.“Hey, what’s on your mind?”A voice rang out.James looked up.Quincy walked in.She was wearing a red professional dress. She crossed her arms and studied James.“N-nothing.”“It’s after work now. Want to grab food together?”Quincy smiled at James.James glanced at her before shaking his head. “I don’t think so. I have other things to do.”He knew what she was thinking.He was a married man. It was best he keep his distance from her. He was
James left Transgenerational.He went to a random food stall, ordering some food and some beer.He enjoyed his meal and beer alone.He was enjoying a rare moment of peace when his phone chimed with a message.He read the message.“Hi, it’s Zion Lloyd. Together with my wife Louisa Zahn, I’ve opened a barbeque restaurant in Old Town. It’s launching on the 2nd of September, and we’d love for you to attend! The address is Old Town, 54, Sand King Road. The name of the restaurant is Dragonair Barbecue. This is a mass message. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.”When he read the message, James was stunned.“Zion’s opened a restaurant?”Zion was his classmate and best friend in high school.He remembered that Zion was poor. When he was a young boy, his dad died in a car crash, leaving his mom to raise him.“Since it’s Zion’s place, I’ll be there,” James muttered to himself.He checked the calendar on his phone.It was the 1st today. Tomorrow, it would be the 2nd.He called Zion.
“Zion! What are you doing? There’s still so much to do, you lazy *ss!”Someone shouted at Zion.A woman in a garish dress and heavy makeup walked up to them. When she saw Zion hanging out with James, she frowned. “Zion, how dare you! Mixing around with shady people now, are you?”“James, I’d better get going. Please make yourself at home.”Zion left apologetically.James frowned.Louisa looked at James disdainfully. After that, she put on her brightest smile and approached a middle-aged man. She curled her hand around his arm intimately. “You’re early, Mr. Williams.”The man smacked Louisa on her rump. “It’s your grand opening. Of course I'll be early!”“Thanks, Mr. Williams. We’re counting on you now!”“Of course, of course!”James frowned when he saw this.He knew who Louisa was. She was his classmate.Even when they were in school, she was constantly fawning over boys, often getting mixed up with bad company.He did not know how Zion came to marry her, but based on thei
Thea had been trending for the past two days.Plenty of paparazzi followed her around, all of them hoping to get the scoop on her love life.Yesterday, when James brought Thea flowers yet she said she wanted a divorce, the paparazzi had managed to capture it and spread it all over the Internet.Now, everyone who was constantly on their phones knew.Only James was unaware.Zion was unhappy that Louisa had said all those things about his friend, but he dared not get angry. Instead, he said softly, “Louisa, be nice. When I was at Dragon Fountain Villa, he helped me.”“How dare you bring this up again?”Louisa pulled Zion’s ear, saying viciously, “You’re lucky I wasn’t there. Otherwise, I’d be embarrassed to death by you. Look at the company you keep. Get back to work!”“Okay.”Zion shut his mouth and slipped away.“James, it looks like your friend has no standing at home.” Zane smiled.James glared at him.Zane’s smile froze and he shut his mouth.“Oh.” James looked at Zane,
