“P-Prove it…! Hold me tight in your arms!.”James took a deep breath of resignation and wrapped his strong arms around Thea.Thea nestled comfortably into his arms and nuzzled her face into his chest. The two spent the night in this position as it passed silently.The next morning…Thea stirred from her slumber relatively early in the morning.As soon as she woke up, she could sense a warm hand clasping her breast. Her face turned hot and her senses were immediately slapped wide awake. She sheepishly tried to move away, but was trapped in James’ tight embrace. As she found herself unable to move or escape her predicament, she could only stare at the ceiling in a bewildered daze.Soon after, James also woke up.Feeling the sensation of something in his hand, he reflexively gave it a firm squeeze.“Ah…”He heard a surprised gasp from beside him.“What are you doing, James? That hurts.”James eyes immediately snapped open when he realized the situation he was in. In his flus

Thea realized that Celestial, Longevity, and other large groups' declaration about leaving the industry caused a series of chain reactions that in turn affected the Callahans’ company, Eternality. Thea and James did not linger a second longer and left posthaste.Soon, they arrived at Callahans’ villa.It was early in the morning, but almost all Callahans’ family members were gathered in the villa. The air was thick with worry and uncertainty.Thea and James hurriedly walked over to them.The Callahans quickly grasped at their lifeline.“Thea, you’re finally back!”“Thea, the Callahans need you to take charge and save us from this situation.”The Callahans stepped forward and began bombarding Thea with their desperate pleas and demands.Meanwhile, James was completely ignored.Thea asked, “Grandpa, is it true that Celestial, Longevity, and other major groups have announced their withdrawal from Cansington and the pharmaceutical industry? Did you call me me because the Callaha

After thinking about it for a while, Thea said, “Don’t worry about it for the time being. Eternality should continue its operations as usual. I doubt Centennial Corporation will cause a storm big enough to overthrow all of us in Cansington.”James looked at Thea in surprise. Thea had definitely grown leaps and bounds. Compared to before, she was much more decisive and showed a firm resolve.Suddenly, Lex’s phone rang forebodingly.He answered the phone, and his wrinkled face turned ashen.Thea grasped at his sleeve in concern. “What happened, grandpa?”“Things have escalated on Medical Street.”“What?!” Thea’s face hardened.“What exactly has happened?” she asked after giving a moment to Lex to compose himself.Lex took a deep breath and explained, “Universal Hospital has stirred up trouble again. They’re kicking clinics and hospitals out of Medical Street. They proposed matches with well-known clinics and hospitals, and the loser would have to close down. Those who rejected

“There’s been a change of plans, Thea. I’m not going to Medical Street anymore.”James suddenly turned to Thea.“Huh?”Thea was blindsided by his sudden announcement and asked, “Why not?”James vaguely replied, “I’ve got some other things to do. Pull the car over.”The car stopped immediately.James opened the door and quickly got out of the car.Thea followed him out, saying, “Then I won’t go there either. I’ll come with you.”She knew that James had called Maxine and had come up with a plan to handle the Centennial’s head-on attacks.She felt her heart pang bitterly.She was James’ wife, but James did not even bother discussing what to do with her. Instead, he called another woman for help. It made her chest squirm painfully.“You need to head to Medical Street and assess the situation. You won’t be of help to me in my affairs.”“Alright…” Thea yielded.Thea was painfully aware that despite everything, she was still incapable of helping him in a lot of aspects and was de

“Okay.” Scarlett nodded obediently.Then, she asked, “By the way, have you found Quincy? I’m swamped with the company’s affairs. If she doesn’t come back to head the overall situation, I’m afraid it might be too much for me to handle alone.”Scarlett had no confidence that she could handle the situation properly.Business was not her strong suit, and it was starting to be too much for her to manage.Hearing this, James knit his brows as a complicated expression flickered over his face.After a momentary silence, he replied, “I’ll try my best to find her.”Thea was the only clue he had to find Quincy.If he was correct, Thea knew Quincy’s whereabouts but refused to tell him because she was worried about him looking at another woman.“Are there any other things you need me to handle? If not, I’ll go ahead and hold the meeting first.”“No, it’s fine. You may leave.” James waved her away.Suddenly, he remembered something and stopped her. “Wait! Don’t hold the meeting just yet. I

The unexpected call exasperated Jay.He had toiled relentlessly for decades and used his money to build an underground intelligence network.Yet now, he was using it to help James run errands without even seeing a single penny.“I’ll update you tomorrow,” Jay replied reluctantly.“Tomorrow’s too late. I’ll give you half a day,” James demanded coldly.Jay grimaced and contemplated for a moment. Investigating a company’s employees would not be difficult. It was not too hard to complete it in half a day.“I’ll do my best to give you a result by tonight.“James, it costs money if I’m to inquire about information. Every piece of information is bought with money…”“Are you asking me for money?”“Throw me a bone, won’t you? It’s starting to be hard for me to maintain operations.”“Fine. Put it on my tab for now and will settle it at a later date.” James hung up the phone.Scarlett waited until James hung up the phone. Then, she asked, “What do we do now, James?”James tented his h

Jonathan sat on the chair, looking at Thea. He met her harsh words with a smile. “I was chased out the last time, but I’ve returned with better medical skills. I lost to James at the medical conference and now I’m back for round two. Without a doubt, I am one of the best medical doctors in the world. Thus, who better than me to prove that Goryeon medicine is superior?”Jonathan declared proudly.“Shut up, you show-off!”“Jonathan, do you know no shame? Get lost. You’re not welcome in Medical Street, nor are you welcome in Sol.”“How dare a loser act so arrogant?!!”“Get out of here before James shows up! Otherwise, you’ll lose whatever shred of dignity you have left!”Many people hurled curses and verbal abuse at him.Even onlookers got caught up in the commotion and started to shout at him.Jonathan, however, remained unflappable.James was his most significant threat. Defeating James would be equivalent to beating every doctor in Medical Street.He knew that James had med

Madelyn did not feel threatened by James.She would have killed him the moment she arrived in Cansington if not for the Candens' declaration that they were protecting James and would make enemies of anyone who harmed him.In order to deal with James and ensure that their plans were executed smoothly, she sought the help of a disciple from the Medical Valley.In terms of medical skills, the Medical Valley was second to none.However, they had always operated in secrecy and not many outsiders knew of their existence. James would never win against the Medical Valley disciple.“Okay, you’re dismissed.” Madelyn waved her attendant away.“Alright.”The young man nodded respectfully and left the room.Medical Street.In front of Century Hospital.A large crowd had gathered in front of the hospital.Doctors from Medical Street, onlookers, and even media reporters were present to broadcast the event.Jonathan and his group were not in a hurry.They patiently waited for James to a
