Now that she knew the whole truth, she chose to forgive him. She even felt a little sympathetic toward James seeing how the Callahans treated him.
Though he was the guardian of Sol, he received zero respect from the Callahans.
James declined Zigmund’s offer, “Funny you say that, Zigmund. No matter how Thea or the Callahans treat me, I won’t divorce her.”
“Sigh…”
Zigmund sighed.
He held Tiara’s arm and left.
Tiara looked back.
She watched James’ face as she walked away. She wanted to remember this man─the God of War and guardian of Sol, and the man who took away her virginity.
She knew this could be a final farewell and she might never see James again.
So, she deeply etched his appearance on her mind.
After the two left, James looked at the Callahans. He turned his gaze to Lex. “Grandpa, you promised me you’d never allow anyone to force me to divorce Thea. What do you think about all of this?”
Lex was leaning on his cane smoking his cigar.
He now understood what Thea was capable of. She was the new Asclepius of Cansington, and many renowned doctors pleaded for her to accept them as her disciples and joined Century Hospital.
She had limitless potential as she was.
It stood to reason that this meant the Callahans also had limitless potential.
This was all thanks to the Black Dragon.
He and Thea truly were a match made in heaven.
“James, the circumstances are different now. I think that you’re not the right man for Thea with all things considered. How about this? After the Callahans give you 10 million, I’ll give you an additional 10 million personally as thanks for your contribution to the family. How does that sound?”
James was lost for words.
He thought Lex would change after James helped their family avert their crisis.
He never imagined Lex would go back on his word and change his tune now that they enjoyed a small measure of success.
“Alright, I understand.”
Speechless and disappointed James left the jeering Callahans.
Thea watched James leave. Under the glare of the sunlight, he seemed extraordinarily lonely.
Thea had an urge to stop him from leaving.
“Let’s leave, Thea.” Gladys tugged Thea away. “Remember to start the divorce process when we get back. By the way, let’s meet up with the Black Dragon. Although he’s resigned, he’s still a genius doctor.”
