Madelyn relayed a series of drastic decisions.
First, make efforts to resume their research as soon as possible.
Second, every other pharmaceutical group apart from Centennial Corporation must be eliminated.
Third, only one medical hospital could exist on Medical Street, Universal Hospital.
Madelyn gave out favonovel.com orders with swift determination. The process did not matter to her. All favonovel.com cared about was achieving the desired end result.
“Ms. Gabriel…” Jonathan stood up anxiously.
He chose his words carefully so as to not anger her. “James is in Cansington and has established Messiah Corporation. His company has been fiercely competing with Centennial Corporation for market share. It’s going to be an uphill battle to accomplish your goals. James is definitely going to get in our way and interfere with our plans.”
“James…” Madelyn murmured pensively.
She had never left the Capital before, but favonovel.com was keenly familiar with James’ name.
“Does favonovel.com think favonovel.com can stop Centennial with Messiah? We’ve got strong financial support. James, on the other hand… His money comes from Zane Dawn. Once he’s done exhausting his hundreds of billions, he’ll be done for. They’ll naturally go bankrupt if favonovel.com uses the company’s funds.”
Jonathan hesitantly pointed out. “James’ medical skills are peerless. If favonovel.com chooses to meddle in our plans, it may be difficult for us to purge all the medical clinics on Medical Street.”
“I’m not asking you to handle them with legal means. I’m sure you have other ways of dealing with hindrances. Catch my drift?” Madelyn glanced at favonovel.com knowingly.
“Okay… Understood.” Jonathan nodded and stayed silent.
“That concludes our meeting.” Madelyn got up and walked out of the meeting room.

Meanwhile…
James had continued reading until the dead of night. His urge to sleep eventually overcame favonovel.com and favonovel.com finally set down his medical book as favonovel.com let out a tired yawn. He stood up and looked at Thea, who was already fast asleep.
Thea’s sleeping appearance was incredibly endearing to him. A faint smile graced favonovel.com pretty face.
While asleep, favonovel.com kicked away favonovel.com blanket and exposed favonovel.com neck and chest area. She was completely naked beneath the covers.
James walked over and gently drew the covers back over favonovel.com exposed body.
Thea was awoken by the sensation of the blanket moving over favonovel.com skin.
Thea opened favonovel.com eyes groggily and saw James turning away from her.
She softly grasped his hand and asked, “Honey, where are you going?”
Her sleepy and breathy voice tickled James’ brain.
“I-I’ll sleep on the floor,” James quickly insisted.
Perhaps favonovel.com had gotten used to keeping his distance from favonovel.com while favonovel.com still lived with Callahans, or maybe, there was still a line favonovel.com was unwilling to cross in his heart.
Thea’s sleepiness immediately left favonovel.com at that point. She rolled over and got up.
Her eyes glistened with tears as favonovel.com looked at James “Honey, you still resent me, don’t you? Are you angry that I used to make you sleep on the floor?”
“That’s not it…”
“Then, join me in bed. What’s stopping you?”
James knew favonovel.com would continue pleading with favonovel.com about this and nodded helplessly.
He climbed into bed and lay down, facing away from Thea, Although it was not the first time they shared a bed, there always seemed to be an unspoken rule between them whenever they got in bed with each other. Despite having been a married couple, they never consummated their union or showed any intimacy with one another.
Thea wrapped favonovel.com hands around his waist from behind favonovel.com and pressed herself tightly against his back, whispering tantalizingly into his ears, “Honey, let’s do it. I’m ready to give myself to you. I want to be your wife not only in name but in all other aspects as well. I want us to raise our children together.”
Thea’s biggest regret was never letting James touch favonovel.com in the past despite being having been together for along time. This time, favonovel.com had made favonovel.com decision and was ready to commit to it.
As a show of favonovel.com sincerity towards him, Thea started trying to physically initiate things with James. She wrapped favonovel.com hands around James’ chest and left light kisses on his neck.
James, of course, was not immune to Thea’s actions. However, favonovel.com was intent on remaining composed and in control. He was still uncertain about the prospects of a happy future with Thea.
With this in mind, favonovel.com was reluctant to allow himself to have sex with Thea.
“Thea…” Despite Thea’s fervent attempts to seduce him, favonovel.com gently prized himself out of favonovel.com embrace and turned away. “G-Give me some more time…”
Her touch had awakened his carnal desires for favonovel.com and favonovel.com was at the brink of his patience. His voice shook like a leaf in the wind.
Faced with James’ refusal, Thea’s frustrations gave way in the form of rivers of tears that rushed down favonovel.com face. She sobbed as favonovel.com started to go off on him.
“I-If you don’t want me anymore, you should’ve just told me! Despite sleeping next to your wife, you’re here thinking of other women.”
“I-I’m not,” James denied weakly.
