Thea opened and shut her mouth.
She did not expect James to return so soon.
She did not foresee this scenario.
Her cheeks were red.
She felt ashamed.
Even though she had not divorced James, she was now getting engaged to another man.
She looked at Zavier pleadingly. “M-Mr. Watson, could we postpone the engagement? I’d like to properly divorce James before marrying you.”
Zavier’s face darkened. He said coldly, “What do you mean by this, Thea Callahan?”
“I…” Thea was at a loss for words.
James was below the stage, staring at Thea, who was wearing a white wedding dress. He uttered word by word, “Thea, I won’t force you to do anything. However, you and I are still husband and wife. We’re not even divorced, and you’re already getting engaged to another man. What do you take me for?”
Even though James knew Thea was forced to do this, he was nonetheless aggrieved.
All this while, he had been working tirelessly to stay by Thea’s side.
Now, she was getting engaged to another man.
Most importantly, he was not even informed of this.
“Divorce is a simple thing to do. If you truly intend to leave me, I won’t force you to stay.”
James had returned to Cansington and married into the Callahans to repay her.
It was a token of appreciation for saving him.
He would not force Thea to stay by his side.
He would follow her wishes.
“You trash! What nonsense are you spouting?!”
Gladys raised her hand to slap James. She shouted, “Can’t you see this is a joyous occasion? Why are you here? What can you give Thea in return?”
James raised his arm and blocked her slap.
He glared coldly at Gladys and barked, “Enough! All this while at the Callahans, I’ve never once complained. I only want Thea’s word.”
Saying that, he turned to look at Thea.
Thea was put on the spot.
Before coming, he had instructed the Blithe King to look into the matter. He knew that the Callahans were backed into a corner.
“Hands off, James!”
Quincy stepped forward and rebuked him, “What are you doing here?”
James turned to look at her and said coldly, “Shut up.”
Saying that, he turned to leave.
Zavier roared, “Thea Callahan! If you dare step off this stage, I’ll make sure to ruin the Callahans and wipe them off Cansington’s map!”
James turned and said coldly, “Is that so? In that case, I’ll wipe the Watsons out first.”
“Haha! You?!” Zavier pointed at James and burst into a peal of laughter. “Who do you think you are? Do you seriously think you’re the big shot of the past…”
James waved.
A silver needle flew out and struck Zavier.
Zavier felt silent.
Then, under the crowd’s gaze, he collapsed.
