The Blithe King unwrapped his arms and walked toward James. “This is a military region. You shouldn’t come here so often. No, scrap that. You shouldn’t be here at all.”He was implying that he did not want to see James, as James often brought trouble along.The Blithe King then got onto a military vehicle and left, leaving behind an astonished Xara.It took Xara some time to process the situation. When the realization hit, she kept gasping for air. She hurriedly made her way to James and snatched her phone from him. “Let me see. Let me see.”She opened the album and saw the photo.In it, the Blithe King had his hands around her shoulders. He wore a compassionate look, almost looking like a loving father.“Ah…” Xara cried.She bawled her eyes out.After all these years, her wish had finally come true.There stood the Blithe King, commander of the Western border and one of the Five Commanders.She crouched down and cried.They were tears of joy.James frowned. It was just a p

“That’s right.”Lex nodded. “Even if those men only helped Thea because they owed someone else a favor, they’re still considered part of her connections. If we establish a good relationship with them, it’ll surely benefit us. Do you know how much the Callahans have earned by cooperating with Celestial Group? At least tens of millions.” Lex took a drag on his cigarette. “Once Thea returns, we’ll be able to expand our production. We can further cooperate with large pharmaceutical groups such as Celestial Group and Longevity Pharmaceuticals and establish ourselves in Cansington’s commercial city. With this, the Callahans will surely rise..." Lex grew increasingly excited as he spoke.“Bring Thea to me, no matter the cost.”The Callahans had grim faces. They did not want Thea back.Although they had managed to establish stronger connections with Celestial Group because of Thea, they did not want her to return and take the helm of the Callahans as she might make decisions that went

Lex stood up and invited Thea to sit.The more amicable Lex was toward Thea, the more threatened the rest of the Callahans felt.Lex was old and would probably not live for much longer. They believed this redistribution of shares was equivalent to him dividing up the Callahans’ inheritance.As there were limited seats, the non-core members of the family stood during the discussion.James was standing too, but he could not care less.Lex was seated above. He scanned the group before he spoke, “I’ve summoned all of you here today for two things. First, from today onward, Thea will formally take over the reins of the Callahans and be in charge of every family business as the executive chairman.“Second, we’ll be discussing the redistribution of shares.”Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath. All eyes were fixed on Lex, waiting for his next move.Lex glanced at Benjamin. “All these years, Benjamin has been working diligently. And though he received no shares, he did not com

James raised his hands. “How am I supposed to know that? I’m not an expert in this field.” Thea sighed. “Alright, stop bickering already. Jamie was just being considerate. I’ll make the relevant preparations. I’ll go to the office tomorrow to prepare the related documents and hand them in for submission. If it doesn’t work, then so be it. Grandpa should know that this is an impossible mission. So, even if I fail, he won’t make life difficult for me.”“Yeah.” Gladys nodded. At this point, that was the only thing they could do.Meanwhile, Benjamin was still in a trance.Fifty percent shares.He never expected in his wildest dreams to be granted fifty percent of the family’s shares.David, too, had forgotten about his earlier dejection. He exclaimed excitedly, “Father, grandpa said you have the right to redistribute your shares. I’m your only son. Quick, give me twenty-five percent of the shares.”Benjamin glanced at Gladys.Even though he had the right to redistribute them, Glad

At that point, she had already fallen in love with James. She had decided that he would be the only man in her life.She never expected him to fool around with another woman so soon, not to mention the woman being her cousin.“W-We should…”She wanted to ask for a divorce, but the words were stuck in her throat.“Darling, what are you trying to say?”“N-Nothing.”Thea could not bring herself to say those words.She was no longer motivated to write the application for setting up a shop, so she got on the bed and slept.The night passed silently. The next day.After changing into professional business attire, Thea set out for Eternality Group early in the morning.James had nothing planned, so he slept in until ten o’clock in the morning.A lot had happened in Cansington lately.Warren Xavier, the late head of the Xaviers and one of The Great Four, died. The downfall of the Xaviers came, and they fell from grace.The heads of the Frasiers, the Wilsons, and the Zimmermans w
