“Thank you.”“Oh yeah. Thea, I heard that your husband is Lex’s handpicked candidate. He’s an orphan and a retired soldier. Why are you with him? You could definitely do better than him. Why not consider a successful young man who’s wealthy?”As he said that, Hank straightened up. “I know someone. He’s young, already a manager at a big organization with a monthly income of fifty thousand dollars. He has a house and a car. Why don’t you divorce James? My friend would be good for you!”The friend he was talking about was himself.However, he was smart enough not to make it so obvious.He was testing Thea.Thea felt warm. She pulled her shirt up slightly and fanned herself.Noticing Hank’s perverted gaze, she blushed. Looking away, she said in a small voice, “Sorry, Hank. I’m feeling a little warm.”“It’s not warm. The AC is on.”Hank took the opportunity to sit down beside Thea. He touched her forehead. “Do you have a fever?”Thea avoided his touch, twisting away from him. “Han

In the office.Hank took off all his clothes.He walked to the bathroom and pushed the door, only to discover it was locked.“She’s quite alert,” he bit out viciously. Knocking on the door, he shouted, “Thea, open up!”In the bathroom.Thea kept splashing her face and even her head with water. Her clothes were soaking wet, clinging to her body and putting her curves on full display.However, the drugs were powerful. No amount of water could negate their effects.She grew warmer and warmer.She felt as if bugs were crawling inside her, a primal desire rising.She had never felt desire like this before.She squatted on the floor, pulling at her clothes and scratching at her skin.Outside the door, Hank’s voice rang out. “Come on, Thea, open up. You want it, don’t you? I’ll make you feel better if you open the door…”Hank kept teasing her from the outside.Thea still had her wits about her.She knew that she could not give in.She had a husband.Her husband was James.She

Hank dragged Thea out, throwing her on the couch.Thea’s clothes were in tatters. She was going to lose her mind.Hank was like a cat playing with a mouse, wearing a playful expression. “Come on, Thea. Beg me. Beg me!”Thea bit her lip.Even though her body could no longer take it, she refused to say anything.Just then, something happened.Crash!Someone kicked the locked office door down.The office door collapsed. A man rushed in furiously, veins popping on his face.“Wh-who are you?”Hank turned just in time to see the door collapsing and a man rushing in.He felt the temperature in the room drop, feeling like he had been plunged into ice. Involuntarily, he shivered.James walked to him.“Who are you…”James saw Thea lying on the couch, her body soaked and her clothes in tatters. Anger rose within him. He reached behind him, producing two silver needles.Swoosh!The needles flew out from his hands.“Ah…”Hank moaned.He was now blind.James grabbed his arm and p

James heard the siren.He knew that the police were coming.However, he did not want everyone to learn about the things that had happened today.Thea was just an ordinary woman and had already endured enough abuse.James did not want the police to get involved because the news would spread, and chaos would break out in the city. Although Thea was alright, it would definitely spark rumors if word got out.She had been the center of gossip for too long. James did not want the matter to cause her any more trouble.Thus, he phoned the Blithe King.After the call, he returned to the office and sat on the sofa, waiting for a reply.Meanwhile, dozens of security guards gathered at the door.Their faces were beaded with sweat and they wielded electric batons, afraid to enter the office room.Inside the office, Hank’s lifeless body was lying in a pool of blood on the ground. The Blithe King was in a meeting when he received the call from James. He had heard of James’ temperament and

The Blithe King’s subordinates immediately went to make arrangements.Afterward, he instructed again, “Take all the surveillance camera footage within Ella Corporation. Comfort the families of those who James maimed, and give them whatever they need, whether it’s treatment or compensation. Detain all the security guards who saw James here today and get them to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Everything they saw today must be taken to their graves. Otherwise, I’ll ensure they’ll be held accountable if any word of what happened today gets out.“Also, announce to the public that it was a joint exercise between the military and police forces.”The Blithe King made quick arrangements to take care of the matter.As for the deceased Hank, he had sent someone to investigate his identity but later found that he was from the Wilsons, one of The Great Four of Cansington.He sent personnel to inform the Wilsons personally, telling the family that he admired Hank and had recruited him for sec

James came back to his senses after a momentary daze.“You were unconscious when I arrived. I called the police and then the manager got arrested.”James was worried that Thea would be traumatized by what had happened, so he calmly explained and comforted her.Thea was extremely relieved.She was glad she had read plenty of books and could use the knowledge to detect danger in advance.Otherwise, she could not imagine the consequences had she not realized it.“Let’s go eat,” James urged Thea.She nodded her head obediently.James had already finished preparing the meal while Thea was asleep.The Callahans who went out had back just in time for dinner.They made a trip to the supermarket, and when they entered the house, they were discussing the joint exercise between the military and police forces.“Tsk, tsk! The scene was so grand. There were dozens of cars and it was extremely imposing!” Gladys exclaimed as she remembered the scene with lingering fear.“Thea, don’t tell y

Now, he simply wanted to stay by Thea’s side and enjoy a leisurely life.“Mom, we can make plans for it next time. Didn’t David mention that he wanted to buy a car? Why don’t we use the money to buy him the car first? Plus, if I want to open a clinic, I’ve saved a little over the years, which should be enough.”A bright smile broke out on David’s face, and he hurriedly persuaded, “Mom, James is right. Let’s get a new car first! A luxurious car! It has to be at least a million dollars to look good when we’re out in it!”Immediately, instead of trash, David started calling him James because the latter spoke out for him.James nodded. “Yeah, I won’t be needing the money. By the way, Thea seems to be very interested in fashion design. Why don’t we start a clothing company instead of a clinic? The Trade City Center will be looking for foreign investments. I can rent an office building as the company headquarters for cheap through some connections.”“You’re spouting nonsense. I heard th

Lex had taken out 20% of the family shares and offered it to Benjamin’s family.He also ordered that Howard give up his position as the executive chairman and that Benjamin’s family must forgive him.Thea had to be invited back. Otherwise, Howard would be kicked out of the Callahans.Therefore, he prepared gifts and showed up at Thea’s house again.This time, not many people accompanied him. Only Howard’s direct family, Jolie, Tommy, and Megan came with him.All four of them held gifts in their hands.Howard gently knocked on the door.Thea’s family was chatting over dinner.“David, go open the door,” Gladys ordered.“Okay.”David put down his utensils and headed to open the door. Seeing that it was Howard’s family, he immediately welcomed them with a smile. “Uncle, what brings you here? Please come on in.”David was highly disappointed that Gladys had refused to return to the Callahans.He was about to be unemployed and jobless. His family was going to starve without sup
