Standing at the entrance, Louisa was completely shocked.Was he not the one who delivered the presents earlier on?Why was he speaking to James?Just then, all thoughts fled her mind.Zane told Luther, “When you delivered the presents earlier on, you didn’t mention an important point. Go on. Clarify that the presents are from Mr. Caden to Mr. Lloyd.”“Yes, sir.”Luther approached Louisa.Louisa came to her senses. “Sir, please come in.”Luther waved his hand. He said, “I was here delivering the presents earlier. The presents are for Mr. Lloyd, courtesy of Mr. Caden.”“Huh?”Louisa’s jaw dropped.After a few seconds, she turned to look at Leonardo.As Leonardo said that the presents were from him, she thanked him properly in the private room on the third floor.Leonardo was shocked.He was just someone who worked in construction. Even though he had some money, he could not compare to the bigwigs in front of him.Celestial, Longevity, the Xenoses, and the Watsons.All of
Cynthia was on James’ arm, both of them looking like two peas in a pod.James did not like it at all.However, Zane had given Zion lavish gifts on his behalf and invited everyone to dine at the barbeque restaurant, which helped boost Dragonair Barbecue’s reputation.From now on, they would never be short of business.As such, he allowed Cynthia to take his arm.Thea watched as they entered.She had no courage to approach.She stood far, far away, hesitating for a moment before turning away.“Thea, what are you doing?” Gladys grabbed her.Thea looked resigned. “Why would I enter? I’ll be a joke.”“You silly girl. Have you forgotten our lessons? You’re his wife! Now that your husband is with another woman, you’re running scared? You have to be more confident. Walk up to Cynthia and say hi. Tell her that you’ll lend James to her just for a day because it’s her birthday. How do you not know this?”Gladys looked determined.“I can’t do it. I wanted a divorce, and now I have to m
Everyone saw what happened.They knew that Zion was the owner of the restaurant after this.“Zion.”Some of their classmates sensed the change and ran after Zion.On the third floor of the shop.In a magnificent private room.There were a few people in the room.Zane, James, and Cynthia.“Cynthia, are you happy now?” Zane smiled as he asked.“Yes.”Cynthia nodded. “This is the most meaningful birthday ever. Thanks, dad.”Zane felt gratified.Knock knock knock.Someone knocked on the door.Luther opened it.Two people were standing outside.A middle-aged woman.A tall, beautiful woman in a pretty dress.It was Gladys and Thea.“Mr. Dawn.”Gladys stood at the door, smiling widely. “You wouldn’t mind if we joined you, would you?”She also said loudly, “James, your wife is here.”James was sitting near the window. He was smoking, staring out into space.As he heard his name, he turned around to see Gladys and Thea standing there.Immediately, he got up and walked to
However, when she thought about Quincy and the Black Dragon kissing on the couch, Thea felt horrible.She glanced at James next to her.She was disappointed.If her husband had a fraction of the Black Dragon’s appeal, how wonderful would it be?“James, you’re still quite young. Who did you learn your medical and fighting skills from?” Cynthia propped her head up on her hands, staring at James with wide eyes.She was so attracted to James.James was a walking god.His medical skills, his fighting… all of it was so attractive.James just smiled. All he saw was Thea.Thea was sitting next to him. He could smell the fragrance of her perfume and even the scent of her shampoo emanating from her hair.He had been close to her before.Yet he felt his heart rate increase, his blood pumping faster.Thea ignored him.She started talking to Cynthia. Smiling, she said, “Cynthia, the Black Dragon taught him everything.”“What?”Cynthia was stunned. She shouted loudly.She thought ab
James waved his hands and said while pointing to the chair beside him, “Have a seat. By the way, have you resolved the issue with Louisa?”Zion walked over to sit and replied, “I’ve already made it clear to her. However, getting a divorce won’t be easy since she refuses to do so no matter what. I’m going to have to sue for a divorce. I’ll need to collect some evidence of her cheating on me. Can you help me with that, James?”“Sure.”James nodded.Since he controlled the underground intelligence network, it was easy for him to collect evidence of another person’s infidelity.“Leave it to me. I’ll get you evidence of Louisa cheating tomorrow.”Zion stood up and said gratefully, “Thank you, James. I don’t know for how much longer I would live such a miserable life if it weren’t for you. You gave me a new life…”With a smile, James waved his hand and said, “Zion, you’re exaggerating. We’re friends, so there’s no need to thank me. Alright, go tell the kitchen to serve the dishes quic
Thea felt guilty.James had been kind and always respectful of her every decision.Yet, she fell for another man.It was considered infidelity.She lowered her burning face and walked forward, not daring to glance at James.James quickly chased after Thea and held her hand.Perhaps due to her guilty conscience, Thea allowed James to hold her hand as he pleased and did not resist. As soon as they walked out of the cinema, a little girl approached them with some roses. She glanced at James pleadingly and said, “Sir, would you like to buy some flowers for this beautiful lady? A beautiful lady must have fresh flowers!”“How much are they?” James asked with a smile.“One stalk is ten dollars.”“Alright, I’ll have them all.”James touched his pocket but found that it was empty since he did not make a habit of carrying a wallet.He smiled awkwardly and asked, “Do you accept QR code payments?”“Of course, Sir.” The little girl smiled at James, revealing her two little dimples. Th
“He is Sol’s hero, and you’re the number one beauty of Cansington. You two are a match made in haven. You two would look so good together.”Thea felt slightly awkward due to their words and hurriedly explained herself, “You’ve misunderstood. I’m just friends with the Black Dragon. I’m not planning to divorce my husband. My husband used to be the Black Dragon’s subordinate, and they had a close friendship.”James, who heard this while standing beside her, was delighted.Thea’s thoughts of divorcing him were gone.As long as he continued to work hard, he would capture Thea’s heart sooner or later.After Thea briefly explained, she quickly dragged James away.Now that she was famous, she would get surrounded by a crowd wherever she went, and these people would always ask about her relationship with the Black Dragon.They left the jewelry shop.Thea glanced at him apologetically. “Sorry, James. I actually have nothing to do with the Black Dragon. It’s just that after you were detai
Thea hesitated for a moment and said, “You saved his daughter, and it is reasonable for you to ask for a reward. I don’t want to use divorce to threaten you. Two people should be together if they’re suitable and separate if they aren't. I think we aren’t suitable for each other.”“Alright.”James took a deep breath.Although Thea said she did not want to use divorce as a threat, it was obvious what she meant by her words.James was disappointed in the Callahans, and more so in Thea.The Callahans had always had such ‘virtues’ and nothing they experienced could change them.As for Thea, she initially maintained great virtues despite a rotten environment. However, she had gradually become as snobby as the Callahans.He stood up, glanced at Thea, and declared, “Thea, this is the last time I’ll help you. How much money do you want? After this, I will have completely paid off what I owed you in the past. As for our relationship, I agree with you. Those compatible should stay together
