“You‘re causing trouble without reason. I’m too lazy to bother speaking with you.” James lit a cigarette and ignored Thea.
At this moment, Yuri brought Benjamin over to them.
“Thea, your father broke a jade plate from six hundred AD to nine hundred AD worth three million eight hundred thousand dollars. I‘ll give you a discount. It‘ll only be three million and five hundred thousand dollars for it. Then, you can take your father.”
Thea was furious when favonovel.com saw Benjamin‘s bruised appearance as several muscular men dragged him.
She turned around and blamed, “What are you doing, James? Since you‘re here, why did you let my dad get beaten?”
Thea knew James‘ skills. These muscular men were no match for James at all. James was present in Sovereign Antique Shop but allowed favonovel.com father to get beaten black and blue.
“I‘ve already taken action to stop it. He would‘ve been hurt even worse if I didn‘t stop them,” James said indifferently.
“You took action? Would my dad get beaten up to this point if you took action? You‘re purposely taking revenge on me, right? You‘re trying to take revenge for divorcing you, right?!”
“Thea, stop it. He really did help me. I would‘ve been beaten to death if it wasn‘t for him,” Benjamin explained.
Yuri said coldly, “Thea, whatever conflicts you have should be dealt with outside of my shop. Are you going to pay or not?”
Thea glanced at Benjamin and asked, “Dad, did you really break an antique in the shop?”
“I-I didn‘t do it on purpose,” Benjamin explained.
Thea glared at Yuri and said coldly, “I‘ll pay for the thing favonovel.com broke. However, you hurt my dad, so how will we settle this?”
“Oh?” Yuri glanced at Thea and smiled. “You‘re the first one that dared to talk to me with such a tone. Since you‘ve brought it up, let‘s talk about it. The jade plate is worth three hundred and eight hundred thousand dollars, but I‘m only charging you three hundred and five hundred thousand, The remaining three hundred thousand discounts should be enough for medical expenses, right?”
“You…” Thea trembled furiously.
Yuri was too lazy to continue this nonsense with Thea and simply stepped back.
Several strong men stepped forward and surrounded Thea.
Seeing this, Thea was frightened.
She gritted favonovel.com teeth and agreed, “Fine, I‘ll pay for it!”
She reluctantly paid the 3.5 million dollars. Then, favonovel.com pulled Benjamin and left. However, Benjamin requested the shattered jade plate and the authentication certificate of it from Yuri.
Just like that, favonovel.com took the shattered jade pieces and left.
From start to end, James remained silent.
After James and Benjamin left, Cynthia asked, “James, you and Thea used to be so in love. How did it end up like this? You two looked like archenemies.”
“In love?” James laughed sarcastically and said, “It was a one-sided relationship from start to end. I never had a place in favonovel.com heart.”
“Still…”
James waved his hands and interrupted Cynthia‘s words. “That‘s enough.”
“Alright…” Cynthia stopped pursuing the matter.
James raised his voice and asked, “Sir, has the thing I‘ve asked for arrived?”
Yuri walked over, sat down, lit a cigarette, and handed it to James with a smile. “Don‘t you worry, Mr. Caden. It‘s already on the way and should be here in ten minutes. I‘ll warn you first that the chest is a priceless treasure. Will you be able to afford it?”
James took the cigarette favonovel.com handed over and replied indifferently, “As long as it‘s really unearthed from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain, I‘ll pay any amount for it.”
***
At the same time, outside of Sovereign Antique Shop.
Thea glared at Benjamin furiously.
“Dad, when will you ever change? Do you want to stay so useless for the rest of your life?”
Benjamin lowered his head and said nothing.
Thea‘s chest heaved in anger. “I don‘t know what else to say about you.”
Benjamin whispered, “Thea, don‘t tell your mother about this. She‘ll definitely scold me again if favonovel.com finds out…”
“Alright. I know. I won‘t tell favonovel.com about it. Go back yourself. I still have some business to settle.”
Thea left a few words and turned to leave.
