Ch. 271..280
Chapter 271 Bryan walked in the moment Thea took her seat. With a bright smile, he said, “You’ve arrived, Ms. Thea.” Saying that, he snapped his fingers. A row of waiters walked in with gifts in their hands. There were dresses, necklaces, and handbags. “Ms. Thea, I took my time looking for these.” Thea frowned. Bryan had been very friendly to her every time they met. She had refused his gifts many times now.
“Mr. Grayson, how thoughtful of you.” Gladys stood up and accepted the gifts. “Mom, what are you doing? We can’t accept them,” Thea hurriedly spoke. Gladys said with a smile, “We shouldn’t let Mr. Grayson’s efforts go to waste.” “Indeed, ” Bryan said, “These aren’t worth much anyway.”
“I’ll accept them on behalf of Thea,” Gladys said with a bright smile.
She had accepted so many gifts that her arms had gotten tired.
After presenting the gifts, Bryan made his way out.
Soon, the food was served. James did not join in the conversation. Instead, he was busy eating.
Seeing how he gobbled up his food, Thea frowned and looked at Zavier apologetically, “Mr. Watson, I’m sorry you have to see this.”
“It’s nothing.” Zavier stood up immediately and said, “Actually, I have something to tell you.” “Accept it!”
Before he could finish his words, Gladys stood up and looked at Zavier with satisfaction. “I’m satisfied with you being my son-in-law. Thea can divorce James anytime and marry you instead.”
“Mom…” Thea shot her a look of resentment.
How would Zavier dare marry Thea now that he knew of her identity?
He had no right to enjoy such a beautiful woman. Only someone such as the Black Dragon was worthy of her. “Gladys, you’re mistaken.” Worried James might be enraged, Zavier hurriedly explained, “I was going to say that I’m unworthy of Thea.”
“Huh?
Gladys froze.
David was stunned.
Gladys stared at Zavier in disbelief.
Even Thea was dumbfounded.
As a woman, it was only natural to secretly rejoice in being pursued by men. So, what was Zavier trying to say when he spoke those words? At that moment, everyone fixed their gaze on Zavier. Looking at James, who was gobbling up his food, Zavier explained, “Thea’s beauty and glamor are unrivaled. I’m not worthy of her. Only James is.”
Upon hearing this, Thea glanced at James and could not help but curl her lips.
Gladys recovered from her shock and smiled. “You must be kidding, Mr. Zavier. Putting your family aside, I heard you’ve raked in billions of dollars overseas in just a few years. If you aren’t worthy of Thea, how would a useless piece of garbage like James be worthy of her?’ “I speak the truth. I’m unworthy. Ms. Thea, sorry for the intrusion back then. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Zavier bowed deeply.
His actions puzzled the Callahans.
Meanwhile, Thea glanced at James.
He had remained silent the entire conversation.
Thea murmured in her heart, ‘Could it be that the mysterious Mr. Caden went to find Zavier after knowing he sent gifts to my house?’ She believed that was what happened. Otherwise, why would Zavier change his mind and even begin showing her respect in just a day? He was showing her respect because of the mysterious Mr. Caden. Thinking about the mysterious Mr. Caden, her heart skipped a beat.
Though he had a crush on her, he remained silent after knowing she was married. He even secretly dealt with Zavier and tried matchmaking her and James. James, on the other hand, was petty. He did not trust her and even trailed her.
Thinking about this, Thea felt more and more disheartened.
Chapter 272
He rolled over Thea had her back to him. She was wearing a nightgown. However, it was a slip dress. Her fair skin was fully exposed. James asked, tentatively, “Honey, do you secretly think I’m not worthy of you?”
Thea rolled over.
Their gazes met.
“Nonsense. I’ve never looked down on you.”
James continued, “Do you believe deep down that only someone like the mysterious Mr. Caden is worthy of you?” Seeing that he had seen through her, Thea panicked a little. She hurriedly explained, “N-No such thing. Since I’ve married you, I’m your wife. As long as you don’t betray me, I’ll never divorce you.”
Hearing this, James was touched.
He could not restrain the urge to kiss her.
Their lips grazed. “Mhm…” Thea struggled a little. However, James did not loosen his grip. In just a few short seconds, Thea’s cheeks reddened. She reprimanded him. “Are you tired of living?”
James licked his lips and smiled. “I love you, honey.”
Thea blushed and rolled over.
James did not do anything out of bounds.
It was their first time sleeping together after being married for so long.
Tonight, however, was uneventful. They merely fell asleep together. Nothing else happened.
The night passed silently.
Thea woke up early the next day. She changed into professional attire and headed to Pacific Group without eating her breakfast.
James left the house too.
Thea had ordered him to find a job last night.
He believed it was time to find one. Even if he was not going to work, he should at least hold a nominal position. That way, outsiders would stop accusing him of leeching off the Callahans, and Thea would finally be able to lift her head high.
However, what kind of position should he go for? The vice-president of Transgenerational Group?
The vice-president of Majestic Corporation?
James was at a loss.
Chapter 273
He felt that no one would believe that the son-in-law of the Callahans could be the vice president of a large corporation. Perhaps a bodyguard or a driver sounded more believable. James went to Common Clinic to discuss the matter with Henry. Meanwhile, Thea had gone to Pacific Group. After taking over the company, she focused on straightening out its operations. Today, while she was inspecting the company’s accounts, she noticed there were still outstanding debts uncollected. She picked up the phone and called Larry, the vice-president. “Come to my office.”
Soon, Larry arrived. “Ms. Thea, I’m here!”
Thea looked at the accounts and frowned. “Larry, why are there still thirty million worth of debt uncollected?”
Upon hearing this, Larry winced. “Ms. Thea, the company that owes us is Purity Pharmaceuticals. We’ve been their main supplier for the first half of the year. After receiving our supplies, however, they told us something was wrong with our products, and they refused to pay us. We went to the government seeking help but to no avail. After all, Purity Pharmaceuticals is a powerful and influential organization.”
“Huh?” Upon hearing this, Thea frowned. Larry continued, “We hired a lawyer to prosecute them in court, but we lost. Ever since then, our factory operations have been attacked by unknown persons. Because of that, no corporations would purchase from us. Without the thirty million, Pacific Group had a liquidity crunch and was almost bankrupt.”
“Alright now, I understand. You may leave.”
“Yes, Ms. Thea.”
Larry turned to leave the office. With a pen in her hand, Thea spun it on the tips of her fingers
The thirty million dollars was hard-earned money by Pacific Group. Though Purity Pharmaceuticals refused to pay, she was still going to get the money back
At that moment, Thea thought about the mysterious Mr. Caden.
It should not be difficult for him to come forward and get back the money owed.
Immediately, she shook her head.
“Thea Callahan, you have to stop depending on others. Even if you were the one who saved his life, he’s helped you out plenty of times now. You shouldn’t bother him anymore.” Thea decided to go to Purity Pharmaceuticals personally. She would find the person in charge and demand the payment of thirty million dollars.
Chapter 274 After realizing that the company had thirty million dollars of debt still uncollected, Thea immediately found the relevant documents and scrutinized them. First, she looked through the order agreement between Pacific Group and Purity Pharmaceuticals.
It was stated in the agreement that payment would be made with each delivery of goods and would only stop when 50% of the total payment had been made.
The remaining 50% payment would only be made after the rest of the goods were delivered and had undergone inspection. Pacific Group had been making the orders of Purity Pharmaceuticals for the first half of the year.
However, after all the goods had been delivered, Purity Pharmaceuticals refused to pay the remaining 50%, claiming something was wrong with the quality of the products. As such, Pacific Group initiated proceedings against Purity Pharmaceuticals.
However, Purity Pharmaceuticals was a large corporation and had an established legal team. In court, they presented relevant evidence on the substandard quality of the medicine supplied
Pacific Group lost the case and slid into a crisis.
After reading the relevant documents, Thea frowned.
It would be a rather arduous task to get the thirty million dollars back
However, no matter how arduous the task was, she had to try.
She immediately instructed Larry to arrange for a driver to bring her to Purity Pharmaceuticals.
Purity Pharmaceuticals was a huge corporation.
Though it was not as renowned as Celestial Group, Longevity Pharmaceuticals, and Abundant Group, it was still in the top twenty in Cansington, the capital of medicine. Its headquarters was an eight-story high tower.
Entering the tower, she approached the front desk and inquired, “Hello, I’m Thea Callahan from Pacific Group. I would like to see your person in charge of business-related matters.”
The receptionist glanced at Thea.
As someone living in Cansington, how could she not have heard of the name Thea Callahan?
Rumors were on the street, and they were juicy. “Thea Callahan, aren’t you the chairman of Eternality Group? Why are you here on behalf of Pacific Group? Don’t you have good connections with the bigwigs of Celestial Group, Longevity Pharmaceuticals, and the others? So, why have you come here? We don’t have orders for you.” Though Celestial Group and Longevity Pharmaceuticals granted Thea a favor, the opposite
was true for Purity Pharmaceuticals.
Even the receptionist looked down on her.
She believed Thea was just fortunate to have saved a Caden ten years ago. It was nothing to be proud of.
Thea said patiently, “Could you inform the person in charge of my arrival?” “We have plenty of persons in charge here, so I don’t know who you’re referring to. Is it the department manager or the general manager? Perhaps the executive director? Or could it be the chairman himself?” The receptionist looked at Thea disinterestedly. “What right do you have to see our person in charge whenever you feel like it?” “I’d like to meet your executive director, Mr. Walter Kaffenberger.” “You have an appointment?” “No.”
“Then, I’m sorry. No appointment, no meeting, I’m afraid. Please leave.” Although the receptionist looked down on Thea, she knew she was acquainted with many bigwigs. Therefore, she did not make things difficult for her but instead drove her out quickly.
Disappointed, Thea left.
The moment she left, someone walked in.
It was a thirty-year-old man in a black suit with sleek hair. Four muscular bodyguards in suits and ties wearing sunglasses followed close behind. “Mr. Kaffenberger…” The receptionist immediately came forward and said respectfully, “Thea Callahan was just here looking for you. She said she came on behalf of Pacific Group. I drove her away as I was sure she came for the incident behind the court case.”
“Oh? Thea Callahan from Pacific Group?”
Walter stopped in his tracks.
The receptionist pointed at Thea, who was still at the gates. “She’s not out of the gates yet.”
“Alright, got it.” Walter lightly waved and walked toward Thea. “Are you Thea Callahan?” Hearing that, Thea turned and noticed a somewhat handsome thirty-year-old man approaching her. She nodded, “Yes, I’m Thea, and you are?” Walter held his hand out. “Hello, Ms. Thea. I’m Walter Kaffenberger, the executive director of Purity Pharmaceuticals.”
Chapter 275 “Ah, you’re Mr. Kaffenberger?” Delighted, Thea immediately shook his hand. However, Walter clasped her hand and did not loosen his grip. Thea hurriedly retracted her hand,
Walter scrutinized her.
She was indeed a glamorous and elegant woman.
As expected of the number one beauty in all of Cansington.
He heard she had connections with plenty of bigwigs. However, he was undaunted.
“Ms. Thea, I heard you’re here on behalf of Pacific Group.” He scanned from her head to her toe with a satisfied look.
“Yes, I’m now the chairman of Pacific Group. As there were some disputes between Pacific Group and your company, I believe we should have a talk to straighten things out.” “I see. Let’s go to my office, then.”
Walter made a welcoming gesture.
Thea did not turn down his offer,
She followed behind Walter and headed toward the executive director’s office.
Thea took a seat on a sofa in the office.
Meanwhile, Walter was seated opposite her, brazenly checking her out.
Watching her breasts under her white blouse bursting to get out, he gulped.
“Ms. Thea, what are you here for today?”
Walter had a mischievous look on his face.
Thea spoke, “Mr. Kaffenberger, we at Pacific Group have always been strict with the quality of our products. As such, there have been no blunders in the past decades. Now, however, your company has refused to pay the thirty million dollars final payment by claiming that our products are defective.”
Walter lightly waved and interrupted her, “We’ve hired an authoritative body to conduct appraisal work, and it’s evident something was wrong with your medical supplies. We’ve been very forgiving. As we’ve been partners for quite some time, we chose not to pursue matters any further.”
Thea was here to demand payment. However, Walter made no mention of it and even emphasized the fact that they chose not to hold them accountable.
His words prevented Thea from pursuing matters any further.
“Mr. Kaffenberger…”
Walter lifted his hand once more and interrupted her. “Ms. Thea, the court has given its final verdict on this matter. If you find the outcome unsatisfactory, feel free to appeal to a higher court. No more of this today. Let’s talk money. Is Pacific Group’s cash flow running dry recently? If so, I can lend you money personally. Ten million? Or maybe hundreds of millions? Anything for you.” “Mr. Kaffenberger, is there really no way around this?” “What? Do you not understand my words?” Walter’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “I told you to stop bringing this up.” “In that case, we’ll meet in court.” Thea stood up to leave. As she opened the office’s door, four bodyguards stood in her way. She turned and looked at Walter who was sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs. Her face darkened, and she scowled, “Mr. Kaffenberger, what’s the meaning of this?”
“Meaning?”
Walter laughed.
“Thea, did you not do your research before coming here? You may enter as you please. However, don’t think about leaving so easily. I’m not afraid of Alex Yates, just so you know.” “You…” At that moment, Thea sensed danger. “Come here and serve me well. I promise I’ll give you thirty million dollars after our session. How’s that for a deal?”
Walter scrutinized Thea.
The more he looked at her, the more attractive she seemed.
Her figure and her features were just… Mhm… Perfection! “Walter, I’ll pretend this conversation never happened.”
Saying that, she turned toward the bodyguard blocking her way and bellowed, “Out of my
way!”
“Let her leave.”
Walter grinned mischievously. He knew she would be back before long, crawling into his bed and servicing him.
Chapter 276 Thea left Purity Pharmaceuticals
“Perfect. A gem!”
Walter was still immersed in Thea’s beauty and could not return to his senses.
There was desire written all over his face.
He had long heard of Thea but had never seen her in person. He finally witnessed her beauty for himself today. He took out his phone and dialed a number. “Come see me right now.”
Soon, a long-haired man dressed in a yellow t-shirt and with a slovenly appearance showed up with a bright smile. “Mr. Walter, is something the matter?”
“Get some men to go to cause some trouble at the Pacific Manufacturing Factory. Don’t go overboard with it. Just do enough so that they’re unable to operate normally,” Walter instructed.
“Sure thing! That won’t be a problem!”
“Thea, I warned you. You’ll be coming back to beg me very soon,” Walter muttered with a playful smile.
Thea returned to the Pacific Group She was unhappy that she could not get back the money
She prepared various relevant materials and some evidence from Purity Pharmaceuticals, which had lost the case before.
After sorting everything out, she started to get in contact with lawyers.
“Ms. Thea…” Larry showed up in a panic. “What’s the matter? Why’re you so unruly and frantic? Where have your manners gone?” Thea said with a frown.
That… Ms. Thea, there’s someone causing trouble in the factory! T-They’re from Purity Pharmaceuticals. These people came to disrupt our operation in the past, and they’re here again.”
Thea frowned after hearing the news.
Walter threatened that she would need to look for him sooner or later.
This was what he meant by it.
“Call the police,” she said.
“That’ll be useless, Ms. Thea. Purity Pharmaceuticals have a very solid background. They have people both in the underworld and legal departments. One of their major shareholders is a
senior officer of Cansington who holds great authority. We’ve tried calling the police before, but the police didn’t do anything after coming to our factory. These people continued to cause trouble after the police left.”
“Is there no law in this place?”
Thea slammed the table furiously.
“Ms. Thea, have you met with Walter of Purity Pharmaceuticals? What did you say to him? Why is he taking revenge on Pacific Group again?” asked Larry.
Thea waved her hand. “That’s enough. You go back to work first. I’ll handle this.” “Understood. Ms. Thea, you have to settle it as soon as possible. The factory finally resumed production, and if something happens again, the employees will surely be disappointed or even resign.”
“Alright.”
Larry turned and walked away Thea was at a loss after he left.
It was useless to call the police, and with her current abilities, she could not deal with such matters alone. There was only one person she could depend on to solve the problem-the mysterious Mr. Caden.
Do I really have to seek his help?
Thea shook her head.
She did not want to bother the mysterious Mr. Caden.
In fact, she no longer wanted to have anything to do with this Mr. Caden.
She had a husband and was afraid of falling in love with this mysterious man.
She refused to betray James. Thea sat in the office in a daze.
In the afternoon, Larry revisited her office and reported that the group of troublemakers had severely disrupted the factory’s normal operation. Thea was helpless with the situation and could only temporarily shut down the factory, giving the employees a day off work James visited Henry to discuss a nominal job title. Henry had no helpful suggestion about such things.
James thought about it and decided to assign himself a role in the Transgenerational Group to satisfy Thea. However, he was not in a hurry either. He went back after staying at Henry’s place for the whole morning. In the afternoon, he stayed at home.
In the evening, Thea finally returned home.
She looked depressed.
James set up the meal and asked, “Honey, we can have dinner now. You seem a little down. Did something happen?” “N-nothing happened.”
Thea waved her hands and dismissed the question. It was not that she did not want to share her troubles, but it was useless to tell James about these things as it would only add to his problems.
Chapter 277 Gladys sensed that there was something off about Thea. “Thea, what’s the matter? Why’re you frowning?” she asked out of concern. “I’m alright, Mom.” “Alright? It’s written all over your face.”
“S-Something happened at the company. Purity Pharmaceuticals owes the Pacific Group thirty million dollars for some goods. I went to Purity Pharmaceuticals today and…” Thea explained helplessly.
Thea retold the whole story to them.
“Tsk. I never expected Purity Pharmaceuticals to have such a powerful background with both people from the underworld and law. Not only did I not get back the money, but I even got us in trouble.”
“Go get help from Mr. Caden. He’s very influential, so it should be easy for him to solve the problem for you,” Gladys said out of the blue.
“I-I’ll consider it.”
Thea ate in a rush and went back to rest in the room. She was exhausted and did not feel like thinking about these problems for the time being.
Meanwhile, James secretly took note of the situation.
After eating, he cleaned up the mess, collected the dirty dishes, and washed them. It took him more than half an hour to finish tidying up the kitchen. Then, he walked out with a garbage bag. “Mom, I’m going to take out the trash.
“Thea, I’m going to take out the trash.”
James informed them, but no one answered him.
He was used to it and simply left with the trash.
After going out and throwing away the trash, James took out his phone and called Henry. “Do you need something, James?” James had a gloomy expression and said coldly, “Call Jake and tell him to lend me a thousand of his men.” Henry was lying on a mat on the floor while Whitney occupied his bed. He immediately got up and asked, “What’s the matter? What happened?” “It isn’t a big deal. Get a thousand people and three hundred excavators to raze Purity Pharmaceuticals’ factory. Come pick me up. I need to visit Purity Pharmaceuticals.”
“Alright.”
Henry hung up the call and immediately phoned Jake.
“Jake, arrange for a thousand men and three hundred excavators to raze Purity Pharmaceuticals’ factory. Try not to hurt anyone in the process. The Blithe King will take care of the aftermath if anything happens.” Whitney who was sitting on the bed playing with her phone, was suddenly intrigued when she overheard the Blithe King. She got up suddenly and asked excitedly, “Did something happen, Henry?”
At this moment, Whitney was no longer wearing heavy makeup and was completely bare faced.
She looked decent with her fair complexion and a bit of baby fat on her face. She wore a short denim skirt paired with a white t-shirt with a cartoon pattern on the chest. “Don’t worry, and just stay in the clinic,” Henry glanced at her and replied. “Hey! Henry, wait for me!”
Whitney hurriedly got up and shouted while trying to put on her shoes.
Henry had already gone far, so she chased after him without wearing them. Outside, inside the car
Henry frowned and said, “Don’t mess around. I’m going to settle some business.”
“I-I’m not messing around. I’m also settling some business! I’m proficient in karate, taekwondo, krav maga, tai chi, jeet kune do and muay thai. I’m a very experienced fighter and won’t hold you back.”
Henry was stressed out.
How unfortunate of him to hit this troublesome woman.
Whitney refused to get down, and Henry was left with no choice. He warned her, “I’m reminding you that the person that came in the morning isn’t someone you want to get into trouble with. Don’t spout nonsense when we meet.”
“James? I know he has a good temper and he’s easier to get along with compared to you.”
Henry shook his head helplessly and drove to pick up James. James waited on the roadside for about half an hour before Henry showed up. He opened the passenger door and frowned when he saw Whitney sitting inside. Henry explained, “She insisted on coming. I had no choice, James.”
Whitney squeezed her fist and gestured a few martial art moves. Then, she said, “I’ve learned martial arts before, and I won’t embarrass you, James!” “That’s enough. Go sit in the back.” He grabbed Whitney and pulled her out of the seat. James got into the passenger seal.
Whitney hurriedly opened the back door and got back into the back seat. “What happened, James?”
“Purity Pharmaceuticals are fools to mess with Thea. Head to Purity Pharmaceuticals. I want to see who this Walter is to dare to provoke my wife,” James said with a displeased expression.
Chapter 278 Henry did not manage to get an answer and simply drove to Purity Pharmaceuticals’ headquarters.
When they arrived, Purity Pharmaceuticals’ employees had already left work, and the entire building was pitch black
“James, it’s almost ten, and there isn’t anyone left. Why don’t we come back tomorrow?”
“What tomorrow? Head to Purity Pharmaceuticals’ factory.”
“Alright.”
Henry turned around and went to Purity Pharmaceuticals’ factory.
The factory was located in the suburbs and was quite far away.
While they were on the way to the factory, Jake had already gathered 1,000 men and 300 excavators heading there.
Jake also had another identity as the genius doctor of Cansington, Jay Fallon.
It was impossible for him not to know Purity Pharmaceuticals since he controlled the underground intelligence network
Purity Pharmaceuticals had many shareholders, including a senior official in the legal department,
However, the real owners of the company were Infinite Commerce.
Infinite Commerce was a large chamber of commerce throughout the entire country. Many bigwigs were in this chamber of commerce, including some prominent families from the capital.
The chamber of commerce was not famous in Cansington but was well-known all over the country
Jake would never offend Purity Pharmaceuticals if it was not for James. Since James had made the request, jake would surely stand on his side.
This was the Black Dragon of the Southern Plains. So what if they were a powerful chamber of commerce? There was only one fate for those who offended a person standing on the pyramid of power destruction!
ILI
However, he could not deal with it personally because of his unique identity. Soon, 300 excavators and 1,000 people appeared outside of Purity Pharmaceuticals’ factory, The Pacific Group’s factory was inferior to this massive factory with 10,000 employees. At this moment, the factory was working overtime.
The security guards trembled in fear when they saw the 300 excavators and 1,000 people that appeared.
“Calling for support, calling for support. We have a problem here. Security guards, we need immediate support…” The factory security guards were notified in an instant. They quickly assembled at the gate.
The 300 or more security guards became timid, and no one dared to leave the factory entrance when they saw the 300 excavators and 1,000 people outside. No one dared to act rashly after seeing the excavators. The person in charge of the factory quickly reported the situation to the higher-ups.
Walter was in a clubhouse and entangled with a young model.
His phone rang.
Seeing that it was the factory manager, he answered the phone and impatiently scolded him,” Steven, do you have a death wish? Why’re you calling me at night?” “M-Mr. Walter, we have a problem! A huge problem! There are three hundred excavators and more than one thousand people outside the factory right now. It’s a terrifying scene, and it
seems they want to raze Purity Pharmaceuticals’ factory to the ground.” “To the people inside, listen carefully! Immediately disperse and get out. Otherwise, don’t blame us if anyone innocent gets hurt…”
Walter could hear the shouting through the speakers at the factory. Walter immediately cursed out, “Are they crazy? I want to see who dares to cause trouble in our factory today!” He hung up the phone and made another phone call immediately. “Dawson, there’s a problem at the factory. Get three thousand people to support us at the factory instantly!” He hung up and made another phone call. “Mr. Zaborowski, something has happened. Send a thousand specialized police unit officers to the Purity Pharmaceuticals’ factory immediately!” After making two consecutive phone calls, Walter dressed up and left the clubhouse. He ran multiple red lights on the way and speeded to the factory. James and Henry arrived exceptionally late. However, they did not make an appearance and simply watched from the car. The 300 excavators and thousands of people shocked those present. The factory manager was worried about accidents, so he immediately dismissed all the overtime workers.
Soon, everyone working fled the factory. “Bring it down…” Standing on an excavator in front, a man dressed in black clothing and a black hat gave the order.
Chapter 279 With the order, the 300 excavators started moving simultaneously.
300 hundred engines began to roar in an instant.
Buzz…
The sound was deafening like an earthquake, and even the grounds trembled slightly. Suddenly, a car quickly approached, and a middle-aged chubby man got out of the vehicle. He stood before the excavator and shouted, “How dare you?!!”
The man was Peter Dawson, more commonly known as Dawson. He was one of the most prominent gangsters in the criminal world of Cansington. Following Dawson’s appearance, 3,000 men dressed in black and holding iron rods appeared. They instantly surrounded the 300 excavators and 1,000 people. Seeing that Dawson arrived with some men, Henry asked, “What should we do now, James?” James waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry. We’ll wait for Walter to arrive first. That man has a death wish for being interested in my wife and causing her trouble at the factory.”
Factory gate.
Dawson glanced at the man dressed in black standing on the first excavator and said coldly,” Eric, what is the meaning of this? Don’t you know that I’ve got shares in Purity Pharmaceuticals? I’ve never had a conflict with Jake in the past nor have I offended him recently! So, what is the meaning of this?
Dawson recognized the man in black This person was Eric Cadman, Jake’s confidant.
Eric got off the excavator and said, “Dawson, I’m acting on my boss’s order. You better get out of the way and let me raze this place. Otherwise, this matter won’t be over, and you’ll be responsible for the consequences of stopping me.”
“Are you threatening me? No one’s ever dared to threaten me before!” Dawson sneered. “So what if I’m threatening you? Move, guys! Bring this place down!” “Who dares to touch it?!” Dawson roared.
“Who dares to move?!” The thousands of people around took a few steps forward with their weapons and shouted aggressively.
The words threatening anyone who dared to move were deafening.
At this moment, Walter arrived.
He approached Dawson and called out, “Dawson.” Inside a car far away from the factory. Henry pointed at Walter, who had just appeared, and asked, “James, is that Walter?” “It should be him. Let’s go.”
James opened the door and got out of the car first.
Henry turned around and glanced at Whitney, who seemed to be about to move.
He scolded her, saying “Don’t go anywhere and stay in the car.” “Pfft. It’s not like I wanted to get out.”
Henry got out of the car.
At the factory gate, countless people began to confront each other. Suddenly, James and Henry approached.
“Dawson…”
A voice sounded
Hearing the voice, Dawson looked up.
Seeing James approaching, Dawson’s legs instantly went weak, and his body fell to the ground. James came close to them and glanced at Walter, completely ignoring Dawson. “Are you the one troubling my wide?” James asked indifferently. ? “Who are you, brat?” Walter’s face darkened. He did not recognize James. James said word by word, “James. Thea is my wife.” “Haha…
“Here I was thinking who it might be. It turns out it’s the son-in-law of the Callahans. You’re right. I’m the one causing trouble for Thea…” Slap!
Dawson stepped forward, raised his hand, and slapped Walter’s head. He had used a lot of strength. Walter was beaten and could not react to what happened for a while. Dawson lifted his foot, kicked Walter to the ground, and repeatedly beat him with his fists and legs.
Chapter 280 Walter was shocked.
He was confused as to why Dawson would suddenly hit him.
He begged for mercy while being kicked and punched, saying, “Dawson, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I made a mistake! Stop hitting me! I’m begging you, please stop hitting me!” After beating Walter for a while, Dawson fell to his knees and pleaded, “James, please treat me as a fool who made a mistake and forgive me this time.”
Walter was stunned to see Dawson kneeling on the ground. The person standing in front of them was the son-in-law of the Callahans, also Thea’s husband-James. Why was Dawson kneeling to him? Walter stood up, still puzzled by the situation. However, his knee was injured, and he fell back to the ground as soon as he stood up.
James glanced at Dawson, who was kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently, “Are you going to stop me from razing down this place?” “N-No…”
Dawson did not dare to get angry and immediately said, “I – James, you don’t need to take any action. We’ll do it ourselves!”
Afterward, he shouted, “What’re you all doing? Hurry up and bring down the factory!” The 3,000 men did not dare to disobey.
These men were the ones that went to the Cadens’ cemetery last time.
The scene of 100.000 soldiers being dispatched was still fresh in their minds. They immediately asked the people in the excavators to get off and took over their job. Although driving excavators was a technical job, these men had normal jobs during the day, and many were proficient in controlling excavators. The 300 excavators’ engines were started in an instant.
Rumble!
The factory gate was crushed down.
Boom!
The factory’s front side was destroyed instantly, and dust spread throughout the air.
Walter was stunned by the scene,
Dawson had shares in the factory but personally ordered it to be taken down.
What background did this James have to have made Dawson so terrified?
The anger in James’ heart slowly dissipated as he watched the factory collapse.
As he glanced at Walter, who was sitting on the ground and unable to get up, James said,” Bring the arrears to the Pacific Group and apologize to my wife while kneeling. Otherwise, it won’t just be the mere factory but the whole of Purity Pharmaceuticals’ headquarters.”
James turned toward Eric and instructed, “I’ll head back first. You supervise the process and leave when the whole factory is crumbled to the ground.” “Understood.” Eric nodded respectfully. “Let’s go, Henry.” “Alright.” Henry nodded.
The two returned to the car again.
Whitney watched the scene unfold from the car.
Her mouth was wide open in shock after seeing what happened at the factory entrance and the factory’s collapse. Henry drove James back home.
After James left, Walter finally asked, “D-Dawson, what just happened? H-How could you…”
“F*ck…
“I almost died because of you! Just do as James asked. Go apologize tomorrow, and don’t speak of what happened today to anyone! Announce to the public that the factory was too old, so it had to be brought down and rebuilt.” Dawson kicked Walter and scolded him.
Walter was shocked.
How does a live-in son-in-law have such a significant influence?
However, Dawson did not dare to inquire any further and kept it to himself.
It was almost midnight when James returned home.
The whole family was already asleep. He took out his phone and called Thea because he did not have keys.
Thea was both physically and mentally exhausted. She fell asleep while lying on the bed. She picked up her phone when it rang and was unhappy seeing that it was her husband calling.
She answered the phone and scolded, “You’re outrageous, James! Look at the time right now!”
“Darling, I got delayed because I had something to do. Come open the door for me. I promise not to come home late again.” Thea directly hung up the phone.
Soon, the door opened.
Thea stood at the door wearing a set of thin pajamas, and her pretty face was full of anger.
She scolded him, saying, “Look at the time now.”
“Darling, I really had to settle some things…” “Hmph! There better be no next time.”
Thea snorted, turned around, and left.
James followed after her into the room and closed the door.
He immediately went to take a shower.
Thea had already fallen asleep by the time he finished washing up. However, there was some space left on the bed for him.
James’ heart felt warm, and he climbed into the bed.
The night passed silently.
Thea got up early in the morning and headed to the Pacific Group.
