Thea was responsive. She hugged James back and snuggled in his arms.James’ thoughts were running at a thousand kilometers an hour. He tossed them away and started to kiss her.sss“Ah,” Thea gasped in shock as she pushed him away.James licked his lips as he smiled satisfactorily.He wanted to have his way with his beautiful wife, but after giving it some thought, he decided to wait until after their wedding day. It’d be better if everything was settled by then.“It’s nothing, good night.”James grinned like a schoolboy in love. A kiss was enough for him for now.He closed his eyes as he wrapped his arms around Thea.Thea blushed. She could not help but smile happily watching this wonderful man sleep beside her.The night slipped away silently.The next morning.James woke up in the afternoon.Lex, Howard, John, and Benjamin were in his house. Other than them, none of the other Callahan family members showed up.When James walked out of his groggily, he quickly snapped awake after seei

The first thing he did after he woke up was head to the city.He drove to the city, found a busy noodle restaurant, and ordered a bowl of mutton noodles.This restaurant was doing well, the tables were all fully seated.James managed to snag the only empty table, so he sat there and waited for his order.Just then, a dark-haired woman in a long, black dress and a pair of sunglasses on her face arrived. She looked around for a seat, but only James’s table had another unoccupied seat.She exchanged polite smiles with James before she sat down in front of him.A waiter passed them by, and she ordered, “One mutton noodles, large, extra mutton, and noodles, please.”James did not pay attention to the person in front of him. He was occupied with a game on his mobile phone.Cynthia Dawn looked around curiously after she placed her order. Finally, her eyes settled on James, and she asked him seriously, “What game are you playing, sir?”James looked up from her phone at her.He said, “Am I that

They formed a circle around Cynthia and turned away.James looked at Luther. “You. Turn away as well.”“What are you trying to do?” Luther eyed him suspiciously.James could not wait for the stubborn man to comply and began his treatment. He helped Cynthia up into a sitting position as he undid her dress all the way to her waist.“You—” Luther was about to explode with rage.James snapped back testily, “Shut up!”He reached for his back and produced a needle that had been prepared beforehand. He did not sanitize it before he stabbed it into Cynthia’s body.This one action left Luther in shock.James moved quickly and precisely. While Luther was lost in James’ technique, Cynthia already had numerous needles stuck in her body.James went behind her and began massaging specific acupuncture points and veins.Soon, a light mist seeped from the surface of the needles. The cold energy from her body was being drawn out.Cynthia slowly regained consciousness.Her body felt rather cold. She want

James could not be bothered to intervene further. He decided to let the Callahans deal with this on their own. He would help them after the medical conference had ended.He returned to his room.Thea was reading a book in the room.“Darling, what are you reading?”Thea put the book down and beamed at him. “I just bought some books to read because I was bored at home.”James nodded approvingly. “That’s great.”James was proud of Thea because she did not give up on herself and continued learning despite her family’s dire situation. Right then, his phone rang, it was an unknown number.He picked it up.“Hello? Who is this?”“It’s me, Quincy.”James frowned upon hearing her voice, “Why? Did anything happen?”Quincy’s yelling voice projected past the phone’s speaker and loudly into the room. “James, is this how you act as an employee? You’re receiving a five thousand dollar basic salary from Transgenerational Group, yet you never show up to work! You’ve worked here for quite a while alread

”Ms. Brooks.”People addressed her politely along her way only to be ignored by her.She walked to Quincy’s office and knocked on her door.“Who is it?”Quincy was talking to James. She responded in annoyance, “Can’t you see I’m busy here?”“James, it’s me, Scarlett.”They could hear Scarlett’s voice from outside, loud and clear.James grimaced. ‘Why is Scarlett here?’Quincy was initially taken aback. After she exchanged looks with James on the couch, she walked to the door and welcomed her in herself, “Ms. President, welcome. I wonder what brought you here?”Scarlett stepped into her office and stopped right in front of James, ”James, why didn’t you tell me you’re visiting the company? I would’ve welcomed you myself.”“Well…”Quincy was dumbfounded.‘What on earth is this?’‘Why is the president of Transgenerational Group addressing James so affectionately?’‘Who is this guy, really?’Scarlett turned to Quincy, who was still in shock, and said coldly, “Ms. Xenos, you’re a dedicated w
