Chapter 611
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,

“Watch your mouth, b*tch. I’m here to show some support. How dare you call me trash? How high-end do you think your shop is? It’s nothing out of the ordinary.”“Since we’re not welcome here, we’ll leave.”“Zion, it’s not that we don’t want to be here. Your wife is horrible.”All the workers were angry.Zion apologized. “I’m sorry, everyone. I’m sorry. I apologize on behalf of Louisa.”“Zion, you piece of trash. Why are you apologizing? Even though our shop isn’t too high-end, we still couldn’t allow any Tom, Dick, or Harry to enter. Get them out of here!”Just then, a man in a suit and tie approached. Louisa put on her best smile.“Mr. Zackson! Please, come in!”She warmly greeted him.Zion’s expression was ugly.He looked at his friends, wanting to explain.However, all of them ignored him, turning to leave instead.“Ay.”Zion sighed in resignation.James saw the whole thing.He shook his head slightly.He looked at the time. It was almost time to eat.“Zion.”He cal

Some of the workers unloaded the boxes.After Luther finished reading the list, he looked at a petrified Zion. Smiling, he asked, “Mr. Lloyd, where should I place the presents?”“Huh?”Zion came to his senses. Quickly, he said, “Br-bring them in.”Luther said, “Bring them in.”Louisa caught on, leading the way. “This way, please.”Zion followed them.At the entrance.Respectfully, Luther said, “Sir, Mr. Caden, is there anything else? Otherwise, I’ll be returning.”Zane looked at James.James waved a hand. “There’s nothing else. Go on.”“Sir.”Luther looked at Zane, hesitating for a moment. “Sir, everything’s ready for Cynthia. Many VIPs have arrived.”Zane waved a hand. “Cancel it.”“Cancel it?” Luther looked helpless and troubled. “Sir, it’s easy for you to say. What should I tell Cynthia?”Zane thought about it. He had an idea. “Here’s what you’ll do. Get everyone who’s at the party to come here. We’ll have the party here.”Zane looked at James as he said it.“James,

“Of course. Who else would give you such lavish presents?” The man smacked Louisa on her rump.“Stop, there are so many people. My husband’s here too.”Zion clenched his fists when Leonardo was talking, his veins popping, but he relaxed after that.Louisa, her arm still linked with the man’s, walked into the shop.James pulled Zion aside, asking, “Zion, what’s going on? Why did you marry her?”“James, don’t.” Zion looked troubled.“Tell me.”James’ expression darkened.Many people had arrived this morning.All of them were far too close to Louisa.“James, don’t ask.” Zion still looked troubled.“Zion, if you think of me as a friend, tell me.”Thinking about how James helped him at Dragon Fountain Villa, Zion hesitated before pulling James aside. Softly, he said, “I-I married Louisa a year ago. She came to me and told me she liked me. She even asked if I would marry her and was willing to forgo wedding presents.“I was almost thirty, and no woman had liked me because I was
