After James went to the Prosperous Dynasty, he visited Common Clinic.He did not immediately go to see Thea.He knew that Yoel would not dare to have any more thoughts about Thea, and she would call him to come back very soon.Meanwhile, the Blithe King, who had received James’ call, was fuming.He was the Blithe King and the commander-in-chief of the Five Armies. He was not someone to clean up James’ messes!“Send troops to the Prosperous Dynasty immediately. Also, find out the background and the owner of the place!”The Blithe King roared.He was furious and caused a rumble throughout the military region.Hundreds of military vehicles were dispatched instantly, and the intelligence team began to get to work.Xander was quite a famous person in Cansington. He had his fair share of dirty business in the past, and it was easy for the Blithe King to find out about him.In less than ten minutes, the information about the Prosperous Dynasty was presented to the Blithe King.Goin
Outside the Prosperous Dynasty.A middle-aged man in a suit and tie sweated profusely.He was York Smith, the main representative of the Smith Group.He rushed over immediately after he received his son’s call. He was terrified after seeing the situation outside the Prosperous Dynasty.‘What the hell did this useless son of mine do?’A soldier approached and pointed at York. “You, go in.”“Okay.”York was finally able to enter the Prosperous Dynasty.His heart palpitated as he walked inside.The place was filled with armed soldiers, and many wounded people were carried away.He was terrified when he arrived at the basement and saw Yoel, bruised from all the beatings. Beside him was Daniel with a star on his shoulder. “General.” His legs went weak, and he fell to his knees.“Dad, waah! Take me away quick!” he sobbed desperately.York stood up and swung his limbs at Yoel.“You useless piece of trash! What have you done?”Daniel scolded him, saying, “That’s enough. Stop em
The military was dispatched. They sealed off the Prosperous Dynasty and arrested many people.The news caused an uproar in Cansington.“The Blithe King sure is enthusiastic! The first person he went after was Xander.”“I heard that Xander used to deal in some dirty business in the past. After years of cleaning up his business, he finally started doing some legal business. However, many lives ended in his hands, and there was a lot of dirt on him.”“Haha, it sure is satisfying! Black Wind Xander has finally been arrested! Even if he didn’t fall under gunfire this time, he will surely spend the rest of his life in jail!”The people of Cansington gossiped about what happened.All the major families had instructed their family members not to cause any trouble during this and lay low. It would cause their families many problems if they got targeted by the Blithe King.Thea’s family home.The whole family sat on the sofa in the living room. No one said anything, and the atmosphere
“Oh no, please don’t!”York stood up immediately, saying, “Ms. Thea, just call me Mr. Smith.”“Mr. Smith, my daughter will get a divorce from James as soon as possible. She’ll be free to marry Yoel after that, who has mentioned that he will not shun Thea. Even though Thea and James have obtained their marriage certificate, she’s still a virgin. She won’t be an embarrassment to the Smiths.”“Oh no, this is unacceptable!”York said, “Madam Hill, let’s not mention it. Thea and James are the perfect couple. Forget about my useless son! Thea’s way out of his league. Let’s leave it and not bring it up anymore!”Gladys looked confused.“Mr. Smith, does it bother you that Thea is a divorcee?”“No, of course not! Haven’t you heard of the ancient saying, ‘It’s better to burn bridges than to destroy marriages’? Ms. Thea and James are in love. We should forget about it!”After finding out how powerful James was, York would be an idiot to request that Thea divorce James.If the divorce wen
James went to Common Clinic after leaving Prosperous Dynasty.However, Henry was out.As he had the keys to the clinic, he let himself in. Ceasing operations for the day, he shut the door behind him after entering.He was going to take a nap in the back room.He had not slept well these few days, planning to catch up on his rest using this opportunity.After what felt like mere seconds after he fell asleep, his phone started ringing.Noticing that it was Thea, he smiled slightly.He answered the phone.Thea was crying.As he listened to her, he felt warm inside. Tenderly, he replied, “I’m at Common Clinic. I’ll be home soon.”He knew with certainty that the Smiths had sent David back.Now that Xander was dead, the Smiths would not have the guts to trouble Thea anymore. They were not that stupid.They would never let her get a divorce from him.Not if they wanted to live.James stretched.After that, he got out of bed and left the clinic, closing the door behind him.He
Yuna envied Thea.What did Thea ever do to be under James’ protection?On his electric motorcycle, James rushed toward Thea’s house, humming a tune.Instead of using the main roads, he took some shortcuts.As he passed through an alley, a jeep appeared out of nowhere, blocking him.A middle-aged man exited the car.The man was clad in a loose robe. He had bushy eyebrows and big eyes with a square jaw. He looked powerful, like a man used to being in charge.James stopped his electric motorcycle, looking at the Blithe King.The Blithe King approached, tossing James a cigarette.James caught it.The Blithe King pointed at the car. “Let’s talk.”James lit the cigarette and took a drag. “There’s nothing to discuss. If you have something to say, spit it out. My wife is waiting for me.”“What are you trying to do?” The Blithe King asked calmly.He had just arrived in Cansington, yet he had cleaned up James’ mess twice.He was the Blithe King of the West, now the commander-in-chi
The Blithe King’s appearance did not affect James at all.Since he resolved Thea’s problem, she had called for his return.He was in a good mood, humming a tune comfortably.Soon, he reached Thea’s house.He knocked.The door opened.It was Thea.Seeing James, she fell into his arms and started to cry.James could not help but be moved as a beautiful woman threw herself at him, accompanied by an intoxicating scent.James put an arm around her shoulder, smiling. “It’s okay. Everything’s okay now. Don’t cry. Your eyes will get puffy if you keep crying.”Thea stopped crying then, pulling James into the house with her.Everyone was there.However, they looked ill at ease.James approached them. “Dad, mom.”Gladys nodded, acknowledging his presence. “Don’t blame us, James. We had no choice.”“Mom, I don’t blame you. I only have myself to blame for not being able to help.”James smiled.He did not blame anyone at all.Furthermore, when it all came down to it, he could not b
James asked, “Thea, will you be going?”“Of course. Why not?” Thea looked up.When she was in university, she was a laughing stock.She did not have any self-confidence and constantly looked down on herself.Now that she had recovered her looks, her confidence blossomed.James nodded. “This is an important event yet there’s nothing suitable in your wardrobe. Come on, let’s go shopping. You don’t have any accessories either.”“Nonsense. Who says there’s nothing suitable? I think my clothes will do just fine.” Thea pouted.Go shopping? She could not afford it.James could read Thea’s thoughts. He smiled. “Come on. I’ll pay. Isn’t my card with you? All my savings for the past ten years are there. It’s quite a large amount.”“I-We better not.” Thea shook her head.She had always been thrifty.She never cared much for luxury items either.“Go on,” Gladys said. “It’s the birthday party of Longevity Pharmaceuticals’ chairman after all. It wouldn’t be right to stinge on this. We ha
