Semua Bab The Almighty Dragon General: Bab 171 - Bab 180

With a grim expression, she took a seat.James noticed the displeasure on Thea’s face and hurriedly explained, “Thea, don’t listen to David. Nothing’s going on between us. Yes, she was holding my arm, but she was only asking me to find her a job. We weren’t making out.”“Yes,” Xara hurriedly added. “That’s what really happened, Thea.”David sprang to his feet. “Looking for a job? Who do you think you are, the chairman of the company? Thea is the chairman of Eternality. Xara should be approaching her for help, not you.”Gladys was sullen. “Xara, I won’t be telling your father about this. It’d be bad if rumors were to spread and ruin the good name of the Hills. James, you have to divorce Thea. The Callahans could never accept such a shameless son-in-law like you.”“That’s right. Get a divorce,” Alyssa chimed in.Thea felt her head spin.A divorce?She had wanted to say those words last night.However, she recalled how well James had treated her.She remembered James’ meticulous

It was almost nine o’clock.The Trade City Center had only just begun attracting business investment. As Scarlett was an amateur in the field, she went on a hiring spree. At the moment, they were having a conference at the company headquarters to discuss the follow-up process of the investment project.She paused the meeting upon receiving James’ call.“I’m still at the company. Is there anything, James?”James said, “I have a friend who’s currently unemployed. Can you arrange a position for her?”“Where are you, James? I’ll have someone pick you up. I’m in the middle of a meeting, so I can’t leave.”“No need. I’ll take a taxi there.”He hung up the phone.Xara was gazing longingly at James. As James hung up his phone, she could not help but ask, “James, who did you just call?”James gave her a mysterious grin. “Let’s go. We’ll take a taxi to the Trade City Center. Don’t tell anyone about this. Keep a low profile, especially in front of Thea.”“Got it.” Xara nodded in excitem

She was James’ cousin, after all.To her, Xara was only here to gain experience. Sooner or later, she would be the top brass of the company.“Huh? I’m in charge of the region near the food street?” Xara was stunned.That was a task only a high-ranking official would be assigned.Based on her original plans, she would be content working just any job in Cansington. Even a lower executive position would suffice.Now, she was in charge of an entire region.She had heard that the food street required exceptionally high prerequisites for the entry of business investments.Only renowned catering companies in the culinary world had the right to establish themselves. Besides, the one-off payment for setting up shop was at least a couple of million dollars, not including the subsequent rental they would have to pay.At that moment, she started getting cold feet.Would she be up to the task?However, she was more concerned with James’ identity.“M-Ms. Brooks, w-who exactly is James? Is

“Black Dragon, James, stop screwing around. I’m a busy man, unlike you.”James cleared his throat. “Henry, redeploy a hundred thousand troops from the Southern Plains.”“Right on it.”Upon hearing them sing the same tune, the Blithe King was so enraged that he wanted to smash his phone.However, he managed to suppress his anger.“You win, James. But, can you not call me over such a trivial matter? Just call Daniel. He’ll deal with it.”“Are you trying to say I can call you if it isn’t trivial?”The Blithe King was so irritated that he hung up the phone.After hanging up the phone, he immediately gave his orders. “Daniel, there’s something I need you to do for me.”Daniel could not believe his ears when he received his orders.Baffled, he left the Blithe King’s office. At the same time, in Common Clinic, James was relieved after the call.“Thea, I’d like to see you try. Very impressive of you, Henry. There’s no way I’d have thought of such an intricate plan.”Henry’s face

“Is Grandpa home?”“Yeah, of course. However, don’t you know your status? You’re just a dog to the Callahans. You’ll have to crawl if you want to come inside.”“Who is it, Megan?”Tommy walked over and saw James at the door. “Yo, James! What a rare visitor,” he sneered.“I’m here to see Grandpa. I’ve got an important matter to discuss with him,” said James.“Didn’t you hear Megan? You’re a dog to the Callahans. You’ll have to crawl inside if you want to enter the Callahans’ villa,” Tommy said condescendingly.Tommy came out to welcome someone—his youngest sister, who moved to North Cansington after marriage had returned.He wanted to welcome her back home personally.Wendy Callahan was Howard’s youngest daughter and Megan and Tommy’s sister.Six months ago, she married into a wealthy family in North Cansington whose status was comparable to the Great Four of Cansington.Her husband was also very promising. Despite not being a direct descendant of the Colemans, he was the de
