Cynthia was on James’ arm, both of them looking like two peas in a pod.
James did not like it at all.
However, Zane had given Zion lavish gifts on his behalf and invited everyone to dine at the steamboat restaurant, which helped boost Dragonair Steamboat’s reputation.
From now on, they would never be short of business.
As such, he allowed Cynthia to take his arm.
Thea watched as they entered.
She had no courage to approach.
She stood far, far away, hesitating for a moment before turning away.
“Thea, what are you doing?” Gladys grabbed her.
Thea looked resigned. “Why would I enter? I’ll be a joke.”
“You silly girl. Have you forgotten our lessons? You’re his wife! Now that your husband is with another woman, you’re running scared? You have to be more confident. Walk up to Cynthia and say hi. Tell her that you’ll lend James to her just for a day because it’s her birthday. How do you not know this?”
Gladys looked determined.
“I can’t do it. I wanted a divorce, and now I have to make nice again. I can’t do it.”
Thea said softly.
She felt like her world was crashing down on her.
She had married someone she did not have feelings for.
The one she liked was her best friend’s boyfriend.
She hated her life. Why did God treat her this way?
Everyone said that good things come to those who wait, but she had waited and waited to no avail. Instead, she was suffering more than ever.
“Thea, you can’t give up.”
“It’s five hundred billion dollars. Do you know how much that is?”
“Thea, our future depends on you.”
Her family started to advise her again.
Thea only felt hatred.
They only cared about money.
Thea’s eyes welled with tears.
Gladys felt like she was too harsh before and softened her tone. “Thea, I know that you have feelings for the Black Dragon, but don’t you know who he is? He’s the God of War of Sol. All the girls in the nation like him. How are you going to compare? Furthermore, didn’t you say that he’s with Quincy now? James is about to get five hundred billion dollars. Why go after the Black Dragon? What’s wrong with five hundred billion dollars?
