Ch. 241..250

Chapter 241 Opening a clinic in Nine Dragons Street was a horrible idea.

People in Cansington would head to Medical Street to see a doctor. Those who traveled to Cansington from outside came because of Medical Street’s reputation, and they would not go to ordinary small clinics. Common Clinic’s door was half open.

James heard a woman’s voice from outside the clinic.

“What the f*ck is going on?” His expression immediately changed. He did not rush to the clinic but instead eavesdropped from outside the door. Inside the clinic.

Henry was sitting on a chair with a woman across him.

The woman seemed to be around 25 to 26 years old. She was decent with some make-up on and in a beautiful dress.

“You’re Henry, right? I don’t think we’re suitable for each other. You don’t have a car or savings, and your lousy clinic doesn’t even have any customers. My requirements for a boyfriend are really high. He has to have at least an apartment in the city, a car worth at least five hundred thousand dollars, and also savings of a million dollars.”

The woman picked up her bag and glanced contemptuously at Henry, who was sitting idly like a piece of wood. “Broke*ss. What’s the point of a blind date if you don’t have money?” She left behind a word and walked out with her hips swinging side to side.

“…” Henry wanted to stop her, but he did not manage to find the right words.

“Ha…” he sighed.

After the woman left. James walked in with a smile. He bent over from laughing too hard and patted the table with his hands.

“Are you serious, Henry? Why didn’t you choose a more romantic place for a blind date? How could you have it in Common Clinic? I’m going to die from laughter.” Henry was so embarrassed. “I- James, when did you arrive?” “I’ve been here for a while. I heard everything. Haha! She said you had no money, car, or saving and even called you a broke*ss…” James seemed to have heard the funniest joke of his life and could not stop laughing and almost cried from laughing so hard. “That’s enough. Stop making fun of me,” Henry said with a depressed expression.

James covered his mouth. He did not want to laugh but could not help himself. The famous general, Black Shadow of the Southern Plains, had a blind date and was called a brokess!

“Ahem…”

After laughing, James straightened his body and patted Henry on the shoulder. “Tell me honestly, what kind of women do you like? i’ll introduce you to some women.”

“I- I was just bored. I downloaded a blind date app and randomly asked to meet up with a girl. I’m not really interested in dating since I don’t think I’m suitable for dating either.”

Henry explained honestly.

James smiled and said, “I know, I understand. You’ve held it in for too long. You’re over thirty yet still a virgin. It’s alright. I’ll take care of you and make sure you have your first night!” “Tsk..”

Henry looked disdainfully and said, “Aren’t you the same? Do you think I’ve not heard about the rumors going outside? It’s rumored that you haven’t slept with Thea.”

“Cough!”

James blushed and refuted, “Who said so? I will sleep with her tonight and have a big fat baby next year!”

Then it still means you haven’t. How dare you make fun of me when you’re not much better?” Henry looked at him disdainfully.

“Let’s not talk about this topic anymore. You’re also at the age already. I’ll bring you out and enjoy the night tonight! Wait, let me make a call and ask if there are any entertainment venues in Cansington. We should go and look around.”

“Are you serious, James? Are we really going?”

“Just to look around and experience life.”

James made the phone call.

He directly called Alex.

In fact, he was not interested in such things, but he wanted to take care of his subordinate,

Henry was also a man and had needs that needed to be satisfied. He wanted to help him become a real man.

Meanwhile, he would…

He would do it with Thea tonight.

He could not help but get excited at the thought.

“I’ll have to head back early tonight.’

“Alex, it’s me, James. I need to ask you if you know of any entertainment venues in Cansington. I’m asking for a friend…”

After inquiring with Alex, James hung up the phone, glanced at the puzzled Henry, and said with a smile, “Why’re you spacing out? I’ve already inquired about the best place! Go have a look. I’ve made arrangements for you! I have to go back home early!”

Chapter 242 Henry drove his modified Tesla and left the Nine Dragon Street with James.

“Where are we going, James?” “The urban area, a place called Great Dignity on Mount Street. “Okay,” replied Henry. Then, he concentrated on driving. “Actually, Michelle is a pretty decent person. I read about her background information. She graduated from a famous university and is currently the manager of a large enterprise with a salary of about thirty thousand dollars per month. Understandably, she had higher requirements for her partner,” Henry could not help but explain. “Are we talking about the Michelle that called you a broke*ass?” James glanced at Henry.

“Yeah, her full name is Michelle Yeager.” Henry nodded.

“Forget about a woman like her. I’ll ask Scarlett to introduce you to a better woman than her. By the way, you can work in the Transgenerational Group if you want to. You can take on the position of vice president in name and would be able to pick up girls much easier. No, it won’t be you picking up girls. The girls will be picking you up!” James said with a smile, “Forget it, forget it. I’m not suited to be a vice president,” Henry immediately refused.

“It’s just in name. You can just go in and supervise some work every day. Also, I heard plenty of beautiful women are in the entertainment industry. How about you buy an entertainment company that has plenty of gorgeous celebrities? There are still one hundred million on the card. Everything will be settled.” Henry smiled and said nothing,

He simply thought that James made sense. He was already at a suitable age to start a family and business.

He was just inessing around and downloaded a blind date application for fun.

He never thought about picking up girls or anything. Soon, they arrived at Great Dignity.

I was a very extremely DILA-end CIUDIOUSe dl 1U WdSellierSITIV-Deseu.

end clubhouse and was membership-based.

Henry parked the car, and the two walked to the entrance.

They glanced at the security guards at the door, and the women dressed beautifully, showing their curves while walking in and out of the venue.

Henry suddenly felt a bit timid at that moment. He was the general of the Southern Plains and had seen all sorts of crazy things. However, he was nervous now.

“How about we just forget it, James?” Henry glanced at James.

“We’re already here, so let’s just go in and take a look. We’re not short of money anyway. Just take it as an opportunity to look around a bit. We’d be back on the battlefield fighting again if an emergency declaration was issued from the higher-ups.”

“YO, James?”

A voice sounded unexpectedly.

Henry heard the voice and turned around. His expression changed drastically upon seeing the person. The person in front of him was Michelle, who had just been on a blind date with him.

It had not been long, but she had already changed her clothes and come to Great Dignity.

At this moment, Michelle did not look like the same person from the blind date.

Previously, although she wore a gorgeous dress, it was relatively conservative.

Her current outfit was extremely revealing and almost as if she rather walked around without clothes.

Michelle was dressed in a thin and sexy dress. She approached Henry, who was standing at Great Dignity’s entrance. Henry was thrilled, and he smiled.

“What happened? My words hurt you, so you came to have fun in Great Dignity? This is a membership-based club. You won’t be able to get in without a member…”

She squinted her eyes and scanned Henry from top to bottom. ”Your whole outfit isn’t even worth a hundred dollars…”

While speaking, she pointed at Great Dignity’s signboard and sneered, “Do you see those big words? They’re inlaid with gold. The minimum spending here is a hundred and eighty thousand dollars each visit.”

Henry did not expect to meet the woman from the previous blind date, Michelle. ‘Didn’t it say she works as a manager of a high-end company in her documents?”

“Do you work here, Michelle?”

“Yeah, it’s a part-time job. Do you have a problem?” Michelle was not embarrassed at all.

“I am indeed a manager, but is it wrong for me to work part-time here? Do you know how much it is for my service? It’s thirty-eight thousand. Are you rich? i’ll accompany you for some drinks if you can spend a few hundred thousand.” Michelle had mocked Henry from the beginning to the end.

“However, you don’t have money, right? Since you don’t have money, you shouldn’t come to such places to pretend to be rich. Get lost.”

She finished speaking and turned to leave, walking into Great Dignity while twisting her waist.

James wanted to laugh but kept suppressing it. He finally burst out laughing after Michelle walked into Great Dignity. “Henry, you…I don’t know what to say about you anymore. A manager? I’m going to die laughing,”

Henry flushed red.

“That’s enough. Let’s just go back, James.”

Chapter 243 “Why should we go back when we’re already here? At least go inside and have a look around…” Jarnes took out his phone and was about to phone Alex When he called Alex to inquire about a place, Alex had told him to wait for him to arrive after giving a location

Suddenly, a Rolls-Royce approached quickly and pulled up. A bald man in his fifties with a slightly chubby figure rushed over in a hurry. He approached James and gasped, “I-I’m sorry. There was a bit of a traffic jam on the way, so I’m a bit late.”

“It’s alright. We just arrived. We’re mainly here for Henry today. This is Black Shadow from the Southern Plains. You have to help take care of him well tonight, Alex. You know the consequences if the General Black Shadow gets angry if you’re neglectful with the service tonight, right?”

“I-I’ll ensure you’ll be satisfied with the arrangements tonight. Please head this way…” Alex gestured for them to enter.

He personally led James and Henry into Great Dignity. Great Dignity, a luxurious private room. A sexy and beautiful woman knelt on the ground.

“M-Mr. Yates.”

The woman knelt on the ground and was very respectful.

Alex ordered, “Get all the prettiest girls to come here.” “Understood.” The woman immediately got up to make arrangements. Soon, twenty or so beautifully dressed women entered the private room.

These women were from the age of 18 to 25 years old. Some were sexy, some pure, some cute, and some very charismatic.

There were all kinds of women among them.

Twenty-plus women knelt on the ground and waited to be picked. Alex glanced at James and Alex, asking with a smile, “Do you see any to your liking?” James gave Henry a push and asked, “You like any of them?”

Henry swallowed his saliva as he looked at all the sexy women kneeling on the ground. He had been through all sorts of situations but was nervous at the current moment. His mouth became increasingly dry.

Henry did not reply.

“Next! Great Dignity can wait to be shut down if these two are unsatisfied tonight!” Alex

stood up and rebuked them.

‘The manager kneeling on the side trembled in fear.

She immediately led the first batch out and brought in a new group. There were more than thirty women this time.

They were all beautiful women. Long legs, pale skin, and big breasts.

Even Michelle, who had mocked Henry previously, was there. However, she did not dare to raise her head and kept kneeling on the ground after entering the private room

“W-what do you think about them?” Alex stood in front of Henry and sweated nervously. “James, let’s just forget it,” Henry glanced at James and said. Meanwhile, James was picking out a woman for Henry. He was thrilled to see Michelle. “You Raise your head.” Those who were kneeling did not know who was being called. The manager on the side immediately shouted, “Number eight. Raise your head!” Hearing this, Michelle raised her head. She looked up to see James and Henry sitting on the sofa in front of her.

Boom!

Her mind seemed to have exploded in that instance. ‘This, what’s going on here?’ She did not respond for a while. Henry also saw Michelle. He also felt embarrassed by the situation. The blind date flopped, and now they had to meet on such a strange occasion. “That’s it. You will do.” James patted his thigh with one hand and pointed at Michelle. “This one, she’ll do…” he smiled happily. He laughed and almost had tears fall from his eyes.

Chapter 244

James laughed heartlessly.

Henry was so embarrassed. Alex sighed in relief.

James was finally satisfied.

Michelle was still stunned and had not grasped the situation. ‘Isn’t he poor? ‘He has no money, car, or savings. How does he know the famous Alex of Cansington?’

“D-Do you have anything else I could help with?” The managing kneeling asked cautiously.

“We want all of them except this one, that one, and her.”

James pointed at a few women and spoke. “You, you and you! Leave quickly. The others stay behind and serve our honored guest well!” “Understood.”

Those who were named left quickly.

The rest stood up and walked toward the three of them.

“I don’t need servicing. You all go ahead and serve those two.” James stood up immediately

“I-I also don’t need the service. Please serve this guest well,” Alex also hurriedly said.

All the women surrounded Henry.

In an instant, there were a few lipstick stains on Henry’s face. Meanwhile, Michelle was still stunned. So many?

*A dozen of us? How much does it cost? “The cheapest one is thirty-eight thousand dollars, not including drinks. Wouldn’t it cost at least several million dollars for the whole night? ‘Isn’t he a broke*ss? How does he have so much money?’

Michelle was confused.

Henry was embarrassed to be surrounded by so many women and avoided them. He hurriedly shouted, “Alright, alright. I-I don’t need that many.”

He rushed to James, panicked, and said, “James, this is enough. I’ve experienced enough. Let’s go back now.”

“Just go and have fun.”

James pushed him over and pressed him on the sofa.

He turned around and glanced at Michelle, who was still shocked by the situation. He said teasingly, “What’re you still doing there? Why aren’t you serving your honorable guest?”

“Oh.”

Michelle finally came to her senses and sat beside Henry.

However, she was immediately pulled away by a long-legged woman.

Many of these women knew Alex. A man who he highly respected was surely someone with a strong background. They would surely have a lot of benefits if they pleased him. The women scrambled over to him to serve him.

“You have fun, Henry. I’ll head back first,” James said with a smile. Then, he glanced toward Alex.

“Celestial Group can wait to be shut down if Henry leaves today,” he threatened.

“Understood, understood!” Alex nodded repeatedly.

James left behind a few words and left.

“James…”

Henry shouted out for James. However, James had already left through the door. Henry looked helpless. “What’s with all this? “Have a drink, Master.” “Master, tell us about your work.” “Master, don’t hold back. You should not be so restrained in such a place.”

These women all had serious jobs as executives or managers in major companies. They were all here to work part-time.

All of them were very seductive.

The same was true for Michelle. At this moment, she was trying her best to seduce and please Henry.

“Ugh, why’re you all surrounding me? He is the big boss here. Go and please him.” Henry pointed at Alex. Immediately, a few of the women walked over to Alex. James left.

He did not care about what happened after leaving.

Instead of returning to Thea’s house immediately, he went to solve some stuff.

It was about Yosef.

That b*stard Yosef received bribes from Howard to frame Thea. He had looked for him once in the past.

However, he refused to tell the truth in front of Lex and instead pointed the finger at them, Wronging Thea again.

James had swoni never to let Thea be wronged again in this life.

What was the point of having a scumbag like him around anymore? “Blithe King, please notify the Commercial Crime Investigation Department to help me catch someone.” The Blithe king was stunned for a moment after receiving the call from James. He wondered if James had finally decided to change. Instead of using his fists to solve a problem, he was finally resorting to legal means. However, it was a good thing since he would not have to keep clean up after James’ mess. “Where is he? I’ll send someone over right away.” James informed him of Yosef’s address.

Chapter 245

“Alright, I will make arrangements now.”

James hung up the phone and took a taxi to Yosef’s place. It was already afternoon.

Yosef was afraid that James would come to him for revenge. Thus, he asked his son Charlie Zaborowski to get a few friends over at his house. He wanted to ensure that James would be beaten until even his mother did not recognize him if he dared to show up at their house. Yosef’s house.

“Come, my friends. Have a drink!”

Yosef’s son, Charlie, greeted his strong and muscular friends,

The group of people drank beer and ate barbecued meat.

A man in his twenties wearing a black singlet said confidently, “Don’t worry, Charlie. I’ll break that live-in son-in-law James’ legs if he walks through the door.”

“I’m reassured that Nick is here today. I promise to give you the thirty thousand dollars after you teach that brat a lesson. Nothing less than that so you can go have drinks with your friends.” Charlie smiled and was relieved to have his friends present.

“Here comes the beer!”

Yosef walked in with another carton of beer.

Knock, knock, knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

The noisy living room instantly became silent, and everyone’s eyes focused on the door. “I’ll go take a look,” Charlie stood up and said.

He walked to the door.

He saw a man standing outside after opening the door.

He immediately laughed cheerfully after seeing the person outside. “Haha! James, You really came. I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Oh?”

James glanced at Charlie standing at the door. 25 to 26 years old, dressed in a singlet and has a blue dragon tattooed on his body. “You were waiting for me?” “Come here, my friends…” Charlie turned around and called for his friends.

The people in the room immediately picked up the iron pipe on the ground and walked out fiercely.

Seven or eight people with weapons stood at the door and glanced at James mockingly.

Yosef also came over to the door, and his face darkened when he saw James.

He sneered, “James, you probably never expected me to be on guard, waiting for you to show up. I’ve specifically called some friends to wait for you at home. Let me introduce you. This is Nick, who is from the underworld.”

“So you’ve been prepared.” James smiled slightly

His fearless reaction made Charlie immensely displeased.

He did not kneel and beg for mercy despite seeing so many people.

“Attack him, Nick!”

However, James suddenly moved, raised his foot, and swung it at Charlie. Charlie was kicked right in the chest. Immediately, he flew backward and bumped into the many people behind him.

James charged over quickly. “Argh…”

Countless groans resounded throughout the house.

Charlie and his friends were beaten to the ground. James sat on the sofa and crossed his legs with a cigarette in his hand. Yosef stood beside with a pale face.

Thud.

He could not stand the aura from James, and he threw himself to the ground Yosef burst into tears and begged, “James, I was forced to do it by Howard. He said I’ll face a lawsuit if I didn’t do as he said. I’ll have to go to jail. Please, please forgive me.”

“Jail?

“You’re afraid of Howard but aren’t afraid of me?” James smiled and asked. “I-L…” Yosef was unable to answer. Suddenly, several policemen showed up at the door. In the lead was the Blithe King’s subordinate, Daniel.

Usually, the Blithe King could settle things with one phone call, but since it was related to James, he sent Daniel just to be on the safe side. “James,” Daniel approached and greeted.

James pointed at Yosef and said, “It’s him.” “Bring him back,” Daniel turned to the policemen behind him and said.

“Understood!”

Several policemen came forward and handcuffed Yosef.

James pointed at the people groaning on the ground in pain and said, “Take them too and check if they have committed any crimes. Deal with them together if you find anything. Otherwise, just lock them up for a few days.”

“W-What are you doing? Why’re you arresting me?”

Yosef was cuffed but kept resisting and shouting.

A policeman came forward, took out some documents, and showed them to Yosef.

The policeman said coldly, “I’m the head of the Commercial Crime Investigation Department. You’re suspected of a white collar crime. Please come with us to assist with the investigation.” James instructed, “By the way, investigate the Callahans too. However, keep a low profile and don’t allow the public to find out.”

He did not want to let the Callahans off the hook so easily. Everyone who slandered Thea had to pay the price.

Chapter 246 Yosef, Charlie, and seven or eight gangsters were taken away.

“] James.”

Before the policemen left, he looked at James and asked respectfully, “M-May I ask how would you like us to investigate the Callahans?”

This policeman was the head of the Commercial Crime Investigation Department.

His name was Wayne Jackson.

Before coming, he was aware of James’ identity and knew he was the Callahans’ son-in-law.

However, he did not know of James’ other identities.

One thing he knew was that an ordinary person would not be treated respectfully by the Blithe King’s subordinate.

He was not confident in how he was supposed to investigate the Callahans, so he inquired. “After the investigations, those who deserve to go to jail should go to jail, and those who deserve to be fined should be fined,” said James.

“Understood.” Wayne nodded. “I’ve troubled you again, General Highsmith. I’ll treat you to dinner some other day.”

James waved his hand and turned to leave. At the same time, at the Callahans’ villa.

A few cars parked in front of the villa with some pickup trucks and a brand-new limited edition Firarre.

Tommy saw the cars through the surveillance at the door and was taken aback but headed outside to check it out.

After going out, he saw many people unloading goods from the pickup truck and carrying many boxes.

“W-Who are you people?” He approached and asked.

A middle-aged man dressed in a suit and tie, seemingly a very successful person, stepped forward and asked, “Is this the Callahans’ residence?” “Y-yeah. Why?” Tommy was puzzled and did not understand what these people were doing.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Tommy. We’re here to send some betrothal gifts.” “Bethrotal gifts?”

Tommy was shocked.

“Please come inside.” Tommy immediately understood and invited the people into the house. After entering the house, Tommy shouted, “Grandpa, there are some people here at the door with betrothal gifts.

“Huh?” Lex was puzzled. The middle-aged man in the lead said, “Mr. Yates had requested us to send it here.”

After informing them of the situation, he took out a list and read it, “Eighty-eight million eight hundred thousand dollars in cash, a limited edition Firarre worth twenty-eight million dollars, a twenty-two thousand square meter villa in Goodview Villa District worth three hundred and eighty million dollars. Jewelry worth fifty-eight million dollars and clothes worth eighty million and eight hundred thousand dollars.”

After reciting the note, several people walked in with the boxes.

The middle-aged man approached Lex dumbfounded and handed him the note while saying,” Mr. Callahan. Please check the gifts to see if there are any problems. Sign the delivery order if there are no problems.”

He turned around and ordered some people to open the boxes. The boxes contained brand new green bank notes, countless gold and silver jewelry, and some designer clothes.

Lex was stunned. The whole family was shocked. Betrothal gift?

Which man was interested in which woman of the Callahans?

Who had sent the gifts?

Lex glanced at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man said, “There’s a box of eighty-eight million eight hundred thousand dollars in cash. There’s a total of ten boxes that contain the jewelry, clothes, villa key, and car keys. Everything is here.” “Excuse me, which woman from the Callahans is this for and which gentleman sent the gifts?” asked Lex.

The middle-aged man said, “I don’t know about that. I’m only in charge of the delivery.” Lex stiffly picked up the pen and signed the delivery order. Then the middle-aged man asked the team to leave.

Chapter 247 After the people left, Tommy immediately went to the box containing the money, took out the stack, and counted them. He scrutinized them and shouted, “Grandpa, the money is real.”

Lex was still trying to figure out who was this Mr. Caden, and why he was so generous.

Tommy put down the money and walked toward Lex. Then, he said, “Grandpa. The only woman not married in the Callahans is Megan and Yzabella from uncle’s side. However, Yzabella already has a boyfriend, and he isn’t named Caden either.”

“Yeah, yhis Mr. Caden didn’t even state whose hand in marriage was he asking for and sent so many betrothal gifts?” Lex nodded and said.

“It must be for me. I’m so much prettier than Yzabella. This mysterious Mr. Caden is surely not interested in her. He is definitely asking for my hand in marriage,” Megan exclaimed and reacted in excitement.

“Hmm.”

Lex pondered for a while.

Among the unmarried women of Callahans, Megan was the most outstanding one, and he also agreed that the gifts must have been for Megan.

Still, who was this Mr. Caden?

“Megan, do you any rich man by the name of Mr. Caden? The only family that had the surname Caden was the one ten years ago. There aren’t any other families with the surname that could afford such lavish gifts,” Lex glanced at Megan and asked.

“Ah? N-no.” Megan fell into thought.

She had no recollection of any rich man called Mr. Caden.

The Callahans began to guess who the betrothal gift was for and the identity of the mysterious sender, Mr. Caden.

Meanwhile, Jarnes, who was headed home, received a call from Scarlett.

“James, I’ve sent the betrothal gifts to the Callahans. Lex had personally received them.” James frowned and said, “Did you send them to the Callahans’ villa?” “Y-yeah. Is something the matter?” James scolded, “Why did you send it to the Callahans’ villa? I asked you to send it to Thea’s house!”

“Huh? Don’t be angry, James. I’ll send someone to take them back and redeliver them again immediately,” Scarlett said hurriedly in panic.

“Forget it. I’ll bring Thea to the Callahans’ villa to claim them later,” Jarnes thought to himself and said.

James hung up the phone. Since it was sent to the Callahans’ villa, so be it.

Bringing Thea to receive the gifts would also make her proud. Moreover, the Commercial Crime Investigation Department had already intervened in Thea’s matters and would be arresting Howard and the others very soon. Bringing Thea over would clear Thea’s name.

James was burning with excitement as he thought of Thea’s charming face and the sight she was going to show him at night. Thea’s house. “Dad, Mom! Someone sent a betrothal gift to the Callahans’ villa.” David, who was scrolling through his phone, suddenly shouted. He was chatting in the family group.

Tommy shared pictures of valuable betrothal gifts.

“Mom, Dad, check the family group chat. Tommy said the gift included Eighty-eight million eight hundred thousand dollars in cash, a limited edition Firarre worth twenty-eight million dollars, and a twenty-two thousand square meter villa in Goodview Villa District worth three hundred and eighty million dollars. There were also countless jewelry and clothes…”

“What?”

Gladys immediately picked up her phone and opened the group chat. Benjamin and Alyssa also opened the group chat. In the group, Tommy sent a proud voice message, “Look, everyone. These are the betrothal gifts sent for my sister, Megan. How many assets does this pursuer have to be able to send such expensive gifts? He must have at least hundreds of billions to send such generous gifts. Doesn’t it make you guys envious?” Gladys frowned and murmured after seeing the gifts and Tommy’s proud voice. “When did Megan meet such a rich man? The betrothal gift is really expensive and almost worth half of the Callahans’ assets.

“Mom, this can’t be right.”

Tommy sensed that something was not right and immediately said, “How could Megan possibly know any rich men? The betrothal gift must be for Thea by Mr. Watson. Didn’t Mr. Watson say their family tradition is to send gifts at least worth one billion dollars? He just mentioned it in the afternoon and already sent them over so soon.” Gladys slammed her tights and said, “That’s right! Why didn’t I think of it? This must be a betrothal gift by Mr. Watson to Thea. How could it be for Megan? That’s nonsense! Let’s go! We must go to the villa and claim what belongs to us.”

“Let’s go, Mom!”

David stood up.

Gladys glanced at Benjamin, still sitting idly, and she called out, “What’re you doing, Benjamin? Hurry up!”

“Oh.”

Benjamin finally reacted.

The family set off and walked in the direction of the Callahans’ villa.

Chapter 248 James returned home.

However, the family was not at home, and he did not bring his keys when he left. He was not in the Callahans’ family group chat, so he did not know they were headed to the Callahans’ villa.

He phoned Thea. Thea had gone to Longevity Pharmaceuticals and asked Yuna for some orders. She was on her way home after checking the messages in the group chat. “A mysterious Mr. Caden? “Luxurious betrothal gifts?”

Thea was taken aback after seeing the gifts Tommy had posted in the family group chat.

It made her think of someone for some reason.

The ghost-masked man. Suddenly, her phone rang. She recollected herself and answered the phone, “What’s wrong darling?” “Thea, where are you? There’s no one at home, and I didn’t bring my keys, so I’m stuck outside right now.” “I’ll be home in half an hour.”

“Okay.”

James hung up the phone.

Then, he waited at the door.

Half an hour passed by quickly, and a beautiful, fairy-like woman dressed in a casual dress appeared at the house door.

James, who was squatting by the door, immediately stood up and smiled. “Honey.” Thea took out her keys and opened the door. After entering the house, she quietly took out a small box and handed it to James. She blushed and whispered, “Hide it properly. It’s for tonight.”

James trembled with excitement when he saw the thing Thea handed him.

Thea said, “By the way, I heard someone sent valuable betrothal gifts to the Callahans’ villa today. My parents already went to check it out. Let’s go have a look too.”

“Okay.” James smiled.

The betrothal gifts were from him to Thea.

It was time to bring them home. There were already dozens of people gathered in the house when the two arrived at the

Callahans’ villa

Almost all the core members and some close relatives of the Callahans had arrived.

There were many boxes in the living room. Some were full of cash, jewelry, and expensive clothing.

“Nonsense! These are obviously gifts sent to my family by Mr. Watson!”

James and Thea heard Gladys’ shouts as soon as they entered the house. She stood in the living room with her hands on her hips as she shouted at Tommy, “Who said these were for Megan? Megan’s boyfriend is Colson from the Oswalds. Although they had some money, they weren’t capable of such valuable gifts. Haven’t you guys heard of the Watsons? They are a very low-profile family. Zavier Watson had visited us at noon and given us gifts worth millions of dollars.” “Look at this. It’s what my brother-in-law, Zavier gave me,” David took out his car keys and said boastfully

Tommy instantly lost his confidence after seeing them. Megan stood up and defensively said, “The person who delivered the betrothal gift said that it was Mr. Caden, not Mr. Watson, who sent it! Does Thea know a rich Mr. Caden?” “Yeah! Could it be that this Mr. Caden is your live-in son-in-law James?” Tommy opened his mouth and shouted. “Haha! Don’t make me laugh.” “How could it be James?

“He has no money and no power. I heard he even had to ask Thea for cigarette money.” Many people laughed after hearing James being mentioned. Thea and James happened to hear them when entering the house. Thea’s expression did not look very pleased. “These are gifts for Thea,” James pulled Thea over and announced. Seeing James and Thea walk in together, Gladys immediately pulled Thea to her side and scolded her. “You trash, James. What are you doing here? I already told you that you’re not worthy of Thea. You will get a divorce tomorrow!” “Mom…” Thea helplessly said. “I’m the Mr. Caden that sent the betrothal gifts. They’re for Thea,” James stepped forward and said.

“D-Don’t spout nonsense,” Thea pulled James and whispered.

Chapter 249 Lex, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his eyes and glanced at James. “A-Are you really the one who sent them?”

James nodded. “Of course.”

“Lies! How could you have so much money?” Tommy shouted.

“Stop being so shameless, James. Just because your surname is Caden doesn’t mean it’s from vou!” Gladys also scolded him.

“That’s right. The other party never stated who it was for. Plus, Thea is already married, so it’s impossible to be for her. This Mr. Caden must be interested in me,” said Megan.

Lex was incredibly uncertain who the gifts were from. The delivery person did not say who it was for and only said it was from a Mr. Caden. “Thea, do you know of any rich man that goes by Mr. Caden?” Lex glanced at Thea and asked. “1-I do.” Thea was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly. Many people turned to Thea after hearing her reply. “W-Who is this man?” Lex stood up and asked excitedly. James glanced at James and hesitated.

She did not know whether she should say it or not. She was worried that James would be angry if she did.

“Speak now!” Lex shouted.

“Darling, tell them,” James glanced at Thea and said,

Thea nodded and said, “T-The man i rescued ten years ago was from the Cadens, but I don’t lonow his full name.”

“Ah, I remember!” John’s voice suddenly sounded in the living room. Everyone turned to him.

“I heard the Megatron Group that had been shut down was reopened and taken over by a mysterious person. At the same time, countless companies under three of the Great Four had been given up. These companies belonged to the Cadens ten years ago,” said John,

Everyone was shocked to hear the news.

“I also heard about this. After the Cadens’ demise, the Great Four took over the Cadens’ family business.

“Now that they’ve given up the companies, wouldn’t that mean someone from the Cadens has retured?”

“Didn’t he get shot?”

“The execution must’ve been fake. I heard the person Thea saved had an amazing background. The Blithe king was forced to put on a show because of the widespread discussion. Thus, he

probably used a death row prisoner instead.”

“Could it really be a betrothal gift from the Cadens’ survivor that Thea saved ten years ago? Does he want to marry Thea?”

The Callahans began to speculate. “What? Is he really alive? Thea exclaimed. John shook his head. “I don’t know. I only heard the rumors. Plus, I heard that someone took over part of the Great Four’s companies and established a new corporation, seemingly called Majestic Corporation. It should be on the news by tomorrow.” James was speechless after hearing their speculations. These betrothal gifts were from him. How did it end up being the person Thea saved ten years ago? The person Thea saved was him. “It’s really from me.” “Shut up! Although your surname is Caden, you’re not from the influential Cadens! Are you rich?”

“Darling, don’t say too much,” thea pulled James and said. James sighed deeply How did it end up like this? They were really from him, so how come no one believed him? ‘Do I really have to reveal my identity?’ ‘No one even believed that I was the sender of the gifts. They’ll probably kick me out if I say I’m the Black Dragon and the owner of Transgenerational New City. I already told them in the afternoon, but no one took it seriously.’

After thinking about it, he chose to remain silent. That Mr. Caden that they were discussing was also him anyway. Let them misunderstand all they want.

“No matter who sent it, I can’t accept this betrothal gift. I’ve already had a husband,” Thea said. However, she lacked a little bit of determination for some reason.

She was slightly looking forward to meeting this mysterious Mr. Caden. She wanted to see the person she had saved ten years ago. She wanted to meet the ghost-masked man who rescued her from Trent, James caught on to Thea’s expression.

He frowned and muttered in his heart, ‘Could it be that Thea is really in love with me as the ghost-masked man?’

Chapter 250 “Dad, are you sure the gifts were sent by Mr. Caden and not Mr. Watson?” Gladys asked again. She still felt that it was Zavier who had sent the betrothal gifts and not the one whom Thea had saved ten years ago.

Lex smoked his tobacco and nodded. “Yes, it was indeed Mr. Caden. It seems it must be that man from the Cadens that Thea had saved ten years ago. These gifts are for Thea.”

“1-1 can’t accept them,” Thea hurriedly rejected.

“Of course, we’re going to keep thern! Why not?” David stood up immediately and picked up the limited Firarre sports car keys inside the gift box. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s Mr. Caden or Mr. Watson who sent it. It belongs to our family if it’s for Thea,” said David.

“What’re you doing? Put it down! We haven’t figured it out yet! How could it be for Thea? it’s surely for Megan!” Tommy reprimanded.

“Nonsense! It’s for Thea! We’re going to take them with us!” Gladys shouted.

“You’re the one who is spouting nonsense! Who doesn’t know that Thea is married? Who would be so stupid to send such luxurious betrothal gifts to her?” Megan stood up abruptly.

The family began to quarrel again about the betrothal gifts.

James had a headache looking at them. ‘How big of a deal is this? ‘Is it necessary for them to fight this much?’ He turned around and walked out of the house.

Thea’s face was pale, and she knew that James was angry.

She wanted to chase after him but did not in the end.

James lit a cigarette outside the door and took out his phone to call Newton. “M-Mr. Caden.”

“Mr. Quinn, there’s something I need to trouble you with.”

“Go ahead, Mr. Caden.”

“It’s like this…”

James explained the situation at the Callahans.

“I need you to come over and tell them that the betrothal gift was given to Thea by Mr. Caden.”

“Alright, I’ll come right away.”

James hung up the phone.

He was left with no choice.

Initially, he simply wanted to send thea some gifts to make her happy. He never expected such a troublesome situation to arise. On top of that, Mr. Caden from ten years ago was brought up. He had no choice but to let them continue to misunderstand. He was simply repaying his gratitude, so as long as Thea was happy, it did not matter who it was from He could explain his identity to her when the time was right if Thea liked the other him. James smoked a cigarette outside before entering the house. The house was still very noisy, Gladys insisted that the gifts belonged to her family, so they wanted to take them away. Tommy, Megan, and Jolie kept claiming it belonged to theirs and wanted to keep it. The family kept arguing. Lex was uncertain about the situation, so he simply sat on the sofa and smoked his tobacco, seemingly deep in thought. Thea rushed to James and took his hand. Then, she explained apologetically, “Darling, where did you go? I-I really don’t know this Mr. Caden. The gifts are probably for Megan from some rich young man interested in her, and not for me.” James said with a smile, “It’s a little stuffy here. I just went out for a walk.” He really wanted to tell Thea everything.

However, things had strayed from his original intention.

He wanted to repay her for saving his life. Initially, he never wanted to reveal his identity and simply wanted to silently stay by her side to protect her for the rest of her life.

He would never have submitted his resignation letter when he left the Southern Plains if he wanted to approach Thea as the Black Dragon.

Now, he was still investigating the mysterious force involved with his family.

There were the Ancient Four. There was also the matter with the family’s mysterious treasure map, the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge. He had no idea how strong the Ancient Four were, but he knew that one of the Five Commanders was a member of the Ancient Four. It would be really troublesome if he was an enemy. Therefore, he could not reveal his identity. He could not get Thea involved.
