“He is Sol‘s hero, and you‘re the number one beauty of Cansington. You two are a match made in haven. You two would look so good together.”
Thea felt slightly awkward due to their words and hurriedly explained herself, “You‘ve misunderstood. I‘m just friends with the Black Dragon. I‘m not planning to divorce my husband. My husband used to be the Black Dragon‘s subordinate, and they had a close friendship…”
James, who heard this while standing beside her, was delighted.
Thea‘s thoughts of divorcing favonovel.com were gone. As long as favonovel.com continued to work hard, favonovel.com would capture Thea‘s heart sooner or later.
After Thea briefly explained, favonovel.com quickly dragged James away. Now that favonovel.com was famous, favonovel.com would get surrounded by a crowd wherever favonovel.com went, and these people would always ask about favonovel.com relationship with the Black Dragon.
They left the jewelry shop.
Thea glanced at favonovel.com apologetically. “Sorry, James. I actually have nothing to do with the Black Dragon. It‘s just that after you were detained a few days ago, favonovel.com helped me acquire the title of genius doctor this year. Moreover, favonovel.com already has a girlfriend, Quincy…”
Although Thea was apologizing, James could see the disappointment on favonovel.com face. He knew that Thea was still in love with the other himself. However, favonovel.com did not take it to heart since the other James was his alter ego. Even if favonovel.com was emotionally cheating, it was still with favonovel.com anyway.
“It‘s fine. Alright, no more shopping. Let‘s go back home.”
“Okay.” Thea nodded obediently.
The two returned to the Callahans‘ house together.
Gladys and Benjamin had already returned home.
As soon as they got home, Gladys greeted James warmly, serving favonovel.com tea and desserts.
James was flattered by favonovel.com behavior.
Gladys served tea and desserts.
Then, favonovel.com glanced at James and asked with a smile, “James, what happened to Zane‘s gift of half his family assets to you?”
“Huh?” James was taken aback.
Zane did indeed mention it before. However, favonovel.com never took it to heart or brought it up to Zane. Plus, favonovel.com was not short on money. Therefore, even if Zane gave it to him, favonovel.com would not accept it.
“Mom…” James scratched his head and said awkwardly, “Mr. Dawn wasn‘t serious about it. How could favonovel.com possibly give away half of his family assets? Do you know how many assets favonovel.com has? The minimum estimation would be about one trillion dollars. Half of that would be five hundred billion dollars. Do you think it‘s possible for favonovel.com to simply give away five hundred billion?”
Gladys‘ face darkened instantly. “James, this is a warning. You can stay with my daughter if you can get half of Zane‘s assets. Otherwise, divorce my daughter immediately!”
Gladys‘ attitude toward James took a hundred and eighty degrees change. She accepted James only because of the 500 billion. James was just a piece of trash to favonovel.com without the 500 billion.
She did not want favonovel.com daughter‘s future destroyed because of useless trash. The sooner they separated, the sooner Thea could pursue the Black Dragon. Even if Thea failed to get together with the Black Dragon, Gladys was confident in finding a rich husband for Thea.
Thea already knew favonovel.com mother‘s virtues. However, favonovel.com also had favonovel.com eyes on the 500 billion dollars.
“James, Zane promised it to you. I was there and heard it too. How could a prominent figure like favonovel.com make empty promises? Why don‘t you go ask favonovel.com about it?”.
James looked at Thea helplessly and said, “Darling, would you give half of your lifetime‘s work and wealth to a stranger if it was you?”
Thea was unsatisfied and rebuked, “You saved his daughter! Even if favonovel.com doesn‘t give you half of his assets, favonovel.com would still give you tens of billions if you ask him! The Callahans are currently short on money, and everyone is scrambling around to borrow some. On top of that, I‘m currently the famous genius doctor of Cansington! I‘ll also need money to restart the company. Without money, how are we going to talk about ideals and ambitions?”
James frowned and said grudgingly, “Tens of billions is easy for you to say. Do you think so lightly of tens of billions?”
Bang!
Gladys slammed the table and shouted, “James, no matter what, you better get the money from Zane! I won‘t accept you as my son-in-law if it‘s less than ten billion dollars!”
James glanced at Thea and asked, “Is that your stand too, Thea?”
“I…” Thea hesitated.
Upon seeing Gladys‘ murderous glares, favonovel.com took a deep breath and said, “James, the Callahans were struck by a catastrophe. Without money, it‘ll be impossible to rebuild Eternality. On top of that, Century shut down right after beginning operations. We really need the money to restart it…”
“Will you divorce me if I don‘t ask Zane for money?” James fixed his eyes on Thea.
He waited for Thea‘s response. He did not want their relationship to be bound by money.
