Thea shook her head and said, “We’ll talk about it after James’ case is over.”
“Sure, of course.” Gladys stood up and pulled Benjamin away, smiling. “Thea, take a rest. Your father and I will be at the hospital visiting your brother.”
“Mhm.”
Thea nodded.
After Gladys and Benjamin left, Thea looked at Quincy and sighed in dejection. “Quincy, do you think I’m too heartless? After all, since he married into the Callahans, he’s worked tirelessly without a single complaint. Besides, he treats me really well. Now that something’s happened to him, I’m thinking of divorcing him.”
“I…”
Quincy did not know what to say.
From her perspective, she really hoped for Thea and James to divorce.
However, as Thea’s best friend, she did not wish for them to separate.
“I thought James was an honest and upright man. I don’t mind him spending money on hookers, but did he have to commit such a crime? I can’t forgive him.” Thea said.
“Mhm.”
As Quincy did not know what to say, she went along with Thea.
In a ward at the city hospital…
David had been admitted to the hospital for a few days.
He had recovered after the surgery. However, he needed time to completely recuperate. He would not be getting out of the hospital anytime soon.
David was on the bed, while Alyssa took care of him.
At that moment, Gladys and Benjamin walked in, talking and laughing.
David was puzzled. “Mom, what made you so happy?”
“That b*stard James raped a teenage girl and was caught by the police. His trial’s the day after tomorrow. He’ll be spending the rest of his life in prison. That way, Thea can finally divorce him and marry a rich guy. Finally, I get to have a decent son-in-law.”
“What?”
David exclaimed with a loud voice.
“James raped a teenage girl? You have to be kidding me. There’s no way he would do such a thing.”
Gladys said, “It’s true. He’s been arrested. Everyone’s talking about it now.”
