A tall, muscular man in a dark coat and dark glasses walked out from Cansington station, his phone glued to his ear.“Have you got the information?”“Yes, General. The girl who saved you from the fire ten years ago is Thea Callahan. She survived after that, but she’s been badly disfigured due to the fire.”The man tightened his grip on the phone, his expression darkening.It was a hot summer day, but the man had a cold aura around him.Everyone who walked past him shuddered involuntarily.His name was James Caden.Ten years ago, James’ family members were burned alive, falling victim to a scheme against them.A young girl rushed into the inferno and saved him without regard for her own safety.All 38 of his family members lost their lives that night, and the first family of Cansington was no more.After James was rescued, he jumped into the river, as it was the only way to survive.He ended up in the Southern Plains where he became a soldier.Ten years later, he had success

None of the Callahans bothered to look for Thea even though she had been gone for ten days.To the Callahans, Thea was the black sheep of the family and the laughing stock of Cansington. If it were not for Thea, the Callahans’ business would be booming.Once Thea had recovered, she picked up her marriage certificate with James and they went home together.Lex Callahan had three sons.According to birth order, they were Howard, John, and Benjamin. Benjamin was shunned by his own family because of Thea. It did not matter that he worked hard, expanding the family business by leaps and bounds.At home, he did not have any rank, status, or authority whatsoever.Benjamin might be a Callahan Group manager, but he had no shares in the company. All he got was a fixed salary each month with no bonus. As such, he was struggling to make ends meet.It was true that he had bought a house, but there was still the mortgage to pay off every month.“This is my home, Jamie.”Pointing to the do

The Xaviers were the leaders of The Great Four in Cansington.It was a day of celebration for them. Megatron Group, one of their many businesses, had signed an agreement with Celestial Group, and they were now the best of business partners. In other words, the Xaviers’ influence would be even more widespread thanks to this agreement.Also, the patriarch of the family, Warren Xavier, was turning 80.Outside the Xaviers’ villa, a fleet of luxurious cars gathered. All the celebrities in Cansington were there for the double celebration.“This is a bottle of Retrouve wine worth eight million dollars, gifted by The Frasiers. They wish Mister Warren Xavier many happy returns!”“The Wilsons present a painting, The Black Thorn by Jacqui en Blanc, worth twelve million dollars, and they wish the Xaviers good wealth.”“The Zimmermans have gifted Mister Xavier a Froit Mi watch worth eight point eight million dollars…”At the main entrance, a lady held a microphone in her hand. She enthusiast

Linus looked like he wanted to eat Thea up right there and then.Ever since he became the manager, he had slept with countless women, offering them benefits with his role.At first, most of them rejected him.However, after a while, they started to offer themselves up to him to gain access to deals, partnerships, and other benefits.Jane was keen to make Linus’ plan a success as well. Making him happy was imperative to her own benefit.She walked up to Thea and pulled her aside. “Thea, I know that you’ve suffered over the years. Now that you’re beautiful again, you have to use your looks to your advantage. We won’t stay young forever, you know? Once this golden period is gone, we’ll never get it back.”“I’m married. I won’t do it.” Thea refused to give in.Jane lost her temper. “Who do you think you are, Thea? Don’t you know it’s an honor that Linus likes you? If you offend him, you can forget about working with Celestial Group. Forever.”“Jamie…”Thea walked over to James.J

The girl was Tommy’s younger sister and Howard’s daughter, Megan Callahan.As soon as she entered, she noticed Thea and James. She could not help staring at them.She then approached Lex and showed him an article on her phone.Lex saw an image of Alex bowing to Thea, his arm outstretched. He was gobsmacked.That was Alex Yates, the chairman of Celestial Group.In Cansington, even The Great Four had to play by his rules.He snatched up the contract on the table and confirmed that it was indeed an order for a hundred million dollars. He burst out in laughter. “Ha ha, excellent job, Thea. You’re a Callahan through and through! It’s time for Eternality Group to shine!”“What about James, grandfather?”“What? Joel Xavier is here?” A middle-aged woman walked in.It was Gladys, Thea’s mom.She noticed Joel as soon as she entered and made a beeline for him, a big smile on her face. “You must be Joel. I’ve heard so much about you! What do you think of Thea? If you want her, she’s your
